Scarlet had fallen asleep.
She was sleeping very soundly while embracing the black flames scythe, denying anyone from taking it from her.
Epta carried her to a nearby tree to lie down and rest.
“Can she really fight like this?” Atley was doubtful.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He was feeling happy because he recalled how Anna was.
During one of their drinking bouts, Anna once outdrank Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and Liao Xing; only Gu Qing Shan managed to barely beat her due to his cultivator constitution.
“It’s ok, once her alcohol tolerance goes up, she’ll only grow increasingly stronger” he replied.
“I don’t feel like……”
Atley mumbled in dissatisfaction as he went back to cultivating.
Only Gu Qing Shan remained.
He released his inner sight to see that Reneedol was returning to the camp by herself, with Shroud nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Shroud had most likely headed into the Divine Palace of Radiance.
Reneedol wouldn’t kill Shroud at this point in time and instead do everything in her power to ensure Shroud’s survival, after all, Shroud will be the one to retrieve those precious treasures within the World of Laws.
Reneedol must have told Shroud something.
Gu Qing Shan sighed as he was feeling a bit pressured.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became focused.
Reneedol had returned to the forest, currently heading towards him.
A few moments later, Reneedol showed up in front of him.
“Rhode, where are the others?” Reneedol asked.
“Scarlet drank too much, Epta is taking care of her, while Atley is trying his best to achieve a breakthrough” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Reneedol nodded.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze was focused above Reneedol’s head with a surprised expression on his face.
——some flickering starlight had appeared above Reneedol.
Noticing his gaze, Reneedol casually replied: “This is my new ability, I’m still slowly figuring it out”
“Is that so”
Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised like normal but was silently feeling more and more cautious.
Gu Qing Shan paused for a brief moment before suddenly asked:
“Reneedol, where exactly did the star behind your back come from?”
——[See you once again], activated!
It was now time for the noodles he made earlier to do its job.
Reneedol’s expression instantly became blank.
She seemed to be reminiscing something as she blankly answered: “The Law Behemoth of Wind was wandering in our vicinity, wishing to find a mortal who could form a covenant with it. I devoured it and manifested this star”
Gu Qing Shan was completely shaken, his mind storming nonstop.
Gu Qing Shan controlled his breathing and heartbeat to ensure that Reneedol wouldn’t notice anything.
The very next moment.
Reneedol returned to normal.
She didn’t know what she just said at all and calmly told him: “Rhode, I’m going to rest for a bit, keep an eye out around our vicinity and call me if anything happens”
“Should I call you if Shroud returns?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Call me before anything else”
“Sure”
Reneedol walked past Gu Qing Shan, about to head deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at him.
“Rhode, all the Laws of the World fear two Laws in particular. The first was the Law of Radiance, while the second was the Law of Death; this was not only because of their might but also because Radiance can fuse with all other Laws, while Death will destroy any other Laws on contact”
Gu Qing Shan appeared confused and asked: “What are you telling me about that for?”
Rhode continued with a knowing expression on her face: “Shroud’s talents had depicted that he would only grow increasingly more powerful. You must continue to cultivate your power of Death in order to ensure that you will always be able to stand by Shroud’s side”
After saying that, she went into the forest to search for a place to rest.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze slowly became grim.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t continue thinking about that, as he suddenly realized something else.
Gu Qing Shan moved his hand slightly.
Her fingers slightly clenched closer like he wanted to grasp something.
At the same time, his four swords all hid within the void of space, silently waiting for his decision.
They were all preparing for combat!
But then, Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He was hesitating.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.
After a while, he lowered his hand.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and decided against killing her.
While he was thinking, Atley suddenly ran out of the forest.
“Rhode, take a look at this for me” he said.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Atley showed his palm.
A green gust of wind drifted around his arm, slowly converged towards the palm of his hand, then eventually manifested a long blade of wind.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Congratulations, you’ve finally formed a covenant with the Law of Wind”
Atley confusedly said: “No”
“What do you mean no?”
“I…… haven’t formed a covenant with the Law Behemoth of Wind, but I could still directly utilize the power of the Law of Wind” Atley fearfully said.
Suddenly, a flash of brilliant light appeared in front of them.
Shroud appeared out of nowhere.
He was holding onto a golden book while chanting an incantation.
The golden book opened by itself and shot out a small circular pendant.
——-this pendant was the Radiance Artifact he took out the previous time that blocked out all tracking techniques.
Shroud put it on, then told the two of them: “We need to head out quickly, all the Overlords are searching for me!”
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered.
At some point, Reneedol had appeared as well.
“No need to worry” she calmly said, “You were transported to this forest, so as long as we leave this place, no one would be able to find us”
“Atley, call Epta and Scarlet, we’re heading out!”
Atley hurriedly dispelled the power of Wind in his hand and ran to call Epta.
Shroud suddenly called out: “Not good! Atley could already use the Law of Wind, so the Law Behemoth of Wind will most likely be able to locate us through him”
Reneedol blinked, then whispered to him: “They won’t, don’t worry”
Shroud was confused.
Gu Qing Shan also acted confusedly and explained: “It’s very strange, he hadn’t formed a covenant but he could now directly command the Law of Wind”
Reneedol replied: “That’s not strange at all. The Overlord of Radiance had died, but Shroud is similarly still able to command the Law of Radiance”
Shroud was surprised: “You mean, Atley is like me and has the potential to become an Overlord?”
“Indeed” Reneedol confirmed.
Shroud sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Reneedol, now even more confused about her intentions.
While he was thinking, the others had properly packed up to leave.
They randomly chose a direction and quickly fled the forest.
