“Enough, Ah Bi Li. Are you done?” The middle aged man turned and lectured him: “He’s not an Onyx Soul person. Has had no blood meridians activated. He’s normal. He’s a fifth level martial artist. For his age, it’s already good enough. Which of you were at the fifth level at his age?”

When the others heard, they blushed.

“Young lad, we are heading for Black Mountain City. If you’re willing to follow us, then follow.” The middle aged man looked at Tang Tian. He said seriously: “However, I have to remind you. Our journey won’t be safe. You have to take care of yourself. If you’re in danger, no one will save you.”

“I’ll take good care of myself.” Tang Tian raised his hands to indicate.

“Good.” The middle-aged man did not beat around the bush. He raised his voice: “Pack up your things and prepare to leave. We have to reach White Gutter by tomorrow night. Keep track of your time.”

The middle aged man turned and looked worriedly at the young lady: “Miss, I’m sorry you have to go through all this.”

“Uncle Mu Lei, don’t worry about me.” The young lady looked obedient. She said with her gentle voice: “I’m in the top three of my school.”

Mu Lei looked comforted. He nodded and said nothing else

He was very satisfied with Miss’ performance. On the journey, the road was arduous. It was normal that him and his people were used to it, but he never expected the Miss, who was fed with a silver spoon, to have not a single word of complaint. Everyone respected her for this.

“Let’s go.” Mu Lei displayed his swift and decisive style.

He walked through the dense forest on his own.

Although Mu Lei had reminded him previously, everyone treated Tang Tian like shit. It was impressive to obtain a fifth level of power at such a young age. But in Black Mountain City, any young lad who had a little bit of reputation could do it too. And all these young lads usually had activated at least 2 to 3 types of blood meridians.

The commoner would be despised anywhere he went.

On the contrary, the miss was curious about Tang Tian. She had never seen a foreigner before: “Hello, I’m Gu Xue.”

Tang Tian grinned and tried to make his smile as intimate as possible: “Hi, Tang Tian here.”

“Are you still schooling, Tang Tian?” Gu Xue had the most beautiful pair of hazel brown eyes and snow white skin. She had a tall nose and a contoured face. Her figure was superb.

“Nope.” Tang Tian shook his head: “I left school about half a year ago. What about you? Still schooling?”

“Mhmm, a year to go before I graduate. I envy you. Such a young age, and you can head out to venture.” Gu Xue’s eyes lit up.

Tang Tian shook his head: “It’s tough to venture out.”

“Then, do you regret?” Gu Xue asked.

Tang Tian was stunned. He shook his head: “Nah, although it’s tough, I’ve learnt many things. And done many things I have always wanted to do. I’m very happy.”

Gu Xue was slightly surprised with his reply. She could not contain her emotions and muttered: “That’s so nice.”

Mu Lei noticed her emotions and said: “It’s dangerous to venture out, you’ll lose your life anytime.”

Gu Xue puckered her lips: “It’s the safest to lay in bed at home all day.”

Tang Tian grinned and laughed.

Mu Lei was unhappy. He shot Tang Tian a look: “Rascal, how many places have you just walked? How much have you been through? The outside world is much more complicated than you imagine. For example, if it were another batch of people you had met instead of us, you’d have died.”

“Maybe you’re right.” Tang Tian suddenly erased his smile and said in all seriousness: “But, there are some things, some sceneries, you’d try all ways to do it to look at the world. If you don’t go, you’ll feel regret for the rest of your life.”

Mu Lei’s heart was moved slightly. He then groaned: “Naive!”

Tang Tian did not refute. He only made an ugly face to Gu Xue.

Gu Xue covered her mouth and giggled.

He walked in the forest at a startling speed. All the guards were experienced. They knew where to pitch a camp and how to avoid a star spirit beast. That opened the eyes of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian and Gu Xue talked the most. It could be seen that Gu Xue was interested in his adventures. But Mu Lei’s warning made Tang Tian reserved on this topic.

Tang Tian casually asked about the situation in Humble Forest Planet and finally understood why was it when he mentioned that he wanted to leave the Humble Forest Planet, everybody laughed at him.

The Humble Forest Planet was being governed by the Onyx Soul. Although not strongly, the regulations here were strict. To leave the Humble Forest Planet, there were many strict restrictions. The one with most limitations was the quota.

And this quota inturned became the most fought for thing on Humble Forest Planet.

Tang Tian was in a daze when he heard this news.

He always thought, to enter or leave a planet, all one needed was money. If one would like to leave, they could. For Tang Tian, this was bad news.

Tang Tian was even more shocked to see Gu Xue’s and Mu Lei’s attitude to the Honourable Martial Group. They were not impressed. Of course, that was only what Tang Tian thought. After all, he dared not reveal that he was from the Honourable Martial Group.

The sky turned dark and everybody’s faces became more solemn. They sped up.

Tang Tian and Gu Xue could sense the change in the atmosphere. The both of them stopped their discussions and got focused. Tang Tian raised his guard. He could sense a dangerous qi. Mu Lei who was observing Tang Tian secretly shocked at Tang Tian’s sensitivity.

Mu Lei had been observing Tang Tian in the dark.

He could not see through Tang Tian’s history, but he could enter Humble Forest Planet from an unknown place in the Starry Door. He was not simple. To the Gu Clan, such a sudden variable was good.

Finally, as the night sky fell, the White Gutter appeared in front of them.

This small hill’s gutter was extremely special. It was about one metre wide, and the mud outside of the gutter was all black. But in the gutter, it was all snow white. It was unusually eye-catching.

“We’re finally at the White Gutter.” Gu Xue sighed: “Now that we’re at the White Gutter, the Black Mountain City is not so far away now. The star spirit beasts dare not come close to the White Gutter.”

Tang Tian walked to the gutter curiously. It was the first time he had seen such a special one. All the mud within the gutter was actually white as the snow. He casually grabbed a handful of the mud and it was like snow.

Though the guards still remained cautious, their expressions were much more relaxed now. They were all exhausted from the fight and a long journey throughout the day.

Even Gu Xue smiled. The White Gutter was super close to the Black Mountain City. Many martial artists appeared here and no one would dare to set up an ambush.

Gu Xue could tell that Tang Tian was intrigued by the White Gutter. She explained to him: “All the white stuff in the White Gutter is a type of snow sand. It has no apparent use, but the wild beasts and star spirit beasts don’t like it. So everyone would obtain some here and sell it in the city. People would then scatter them outside around the fences and gates for precaution.”

Tang Tian was suddenly alarmed.

After he had gone through two hundred and ninety three battles, it was almost primitive to him to react fast.

He was like an agile leopard and suddenly he looked towards the snow that leapt out.

Gu Xue only felt her vision turned dark and a shadow covering her vision. Before she reacted, she was pushed down by Tang Tian.

She screamed.

The thin sword’s edge was like a serpent’s strike, crushing the accessories on her head. The danger scraped past her head. She was not in time to react, only to feel the world spinning, and suddenly she was rolling on the floor.

This push was faster than anything. Tang Tian hugged onto Gu Xue and like a gourd, they rolled into the White Gutter’s snow sand.

“Aye!”

A lightly gasp resonated through the thin fumes in mid air.

Mu Lei and the guards bellowed, but none gave a sense of security for Tang Tian. That light gasp floated in mid air seemed to explode by the side of Tang Tian’s ears.

Tang Tian’s hair stood.

Without thinking, his stepped hard with his right foot. Hugging Gu Xue, he advanced forward. With Heavenly Dragon Energy, he stepped into the snow sand with his left foot. Bang, boundless snow sand exploded behind him, looking just like a snowy winter scene.

He hoped that would block the opponent’s vision.

A ray of darkness pierced through the snow sand.

Almost at the same time, Tang Tian sensed danger. He slapped his right palm on the ground. Borrowing energy from that, he dodged towards the side with all his might.

tsk!

A thin and faded sound broke the silence. A ray of undetectable energy flitted across Tang Tian. Without a sound, a crude thumb-like pit was indented on the ground.

Dang!

A deafening collision sounded behind Tang Tian’s. At the same time, there were Mu Lei’s shoutings.

Tang Tian used this opportunity and ran forward with Gu Xue in his arms. He sprinted for a few feet before he stopped.

And at this moment, Tang Tian came back to reality. A lingering fear took over his heart, his knees went weak. His heart was thumping heart and his face was pale. He had just brushed against the death. Just by abit, he would had lost his life.

What a terrifying assassin!

Tang Tian swallowed his saliva with much difficulty, as he looked into the scene.

An assassin in black clothes and a white mask. He was covered within the black clothes. Everytime he pulled out his thin sword and pierced through, Mu Lei struggled.

Powerful!

Tang Tian looked on speechlessly. This was the first time he saw an assassin with such a style, it was also his first time to see such a thin sword. Such swords had no blade. It only had one use, that was to pierce.

In front of him, this assassin’s piercing power was clean and precise.

Mu Lei screamed continuously. Both of his palms were enveloped with a silver radiance, his body was encircled with an aura, he looked like a god who had descended. His moves were big and ferocious. The other guards were extraordinary too. They were similar to Liang Qiu.

But, ultimately, the black clothed assassin had the upper hand.

The black clothed assassin moved his figure fast, he was unpredictable. Each movement looked so easy and light, even his sword, when he brandished it, had no sound at all. It floated lightly as it pierced. That made Mu Lei and the others lose.

For the first time, Tang Tian watched as the others fight and his heart went cold.

The black clothed assassin was like a black fog in the dark. It was practically impossible to guard against him, and he was super unpredictable.

So powerful…

Tang Tian muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the black clothed assassin brushed his swords a few times. In the darkness, the sword drew a few strokes of black rays. Dang dang dang, Mu Lei and the others only felt a burning sensation in their hands. An astonishing energy came through and they retreated back.

The black clothed assassin moved and stepped out of the battlefield easily.

He turned his white masked face over, and looked in Tang Tian’s direction. Raising both his arms like an owl, he disappeared in the forest.

“Don’t chase!” Mu Lei shouted. His face was painted with fear. The other guards fell to the ground. Each of their faces were painted with stories as though they were just robbed.

Tang Tian’s heart was icy cold.

His instincts were agile and sensitive. The black clothed assassin’s look that he gave before he left, was for him!
