Chapter 143 Parting Ways
Saki decided to separate from Suk and the others and venture into the secret realm alone to hone his skills, as he couldn't rely on Suk and the others too much anymore.
This time, after careful consideration, he made up his mind.
"Are you really sure?" Suk wasn't surprised by Saki's sudden suggestion to break up, because he knew that given Saki's personality, this day would come sooner or later.
Saki used to take care of them, but now it's his turn to be taken care of by his former younger siblings all day long. Saki probably isn't feeling very comfortable about it. He's been putting up with it for a long time and feels it's time to separate.
"Hmm." The over two-meter-tall, red-haired burly man looked serious, making it clear he wasn't joking. "I've decided to wander the Secret Realm Continent for a while."
"Then go ahead, remember to take care." Suk stared for a moment, then suddenly smiled and patted Saki on the shoulder. "If anything happens, remember to tell us. Don't try to fight alone; if you die, you'll have nothing left."
"Oh, right, bring two Life Fruits with you."
"Also, stay away from women, especially those with purple hair."
"What's with that expression? I'm doing this for your own good."
With a constipated look on his face, Saki waved goodbye to Suk and the others and walked away into the distance, his back view exuding a sense of freedom and boldness.
Suk and Eloi stood side by side, watching the tall figure gradually disappear into the distance, Suk's eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Actually, I think he always wanted to be a wanderer who travels the world."
Suk secretly envied Saki's mindset.
He felt he had too many worries and too much to consider, and was far less carefree than Saki.
"I hope he's alright."
After their good friend Saki left, Suk and Eloi were only slightly saddened.
After all, they all know that everyone has their own choices.
Eloi looked at the white-haired man beside her, "Suk, let's go and see this continent too."
"Hmm." Suk nodded. "Since we've come all this way, let's go take a look." Seeing different scenery is a valuable experience in life.
But just as Suk and his group were about to turn and leave, they saw a hurried figure appear on the distant snowfield.
Behind that figure, a pack of ice wolves, a common sight on the snowy plains, were chasing after it.
A single ice wolf, which is over twenty meters long, is not frightening, but they always appear in packs, and even ordinary star-level beings are unwilling to provoke them.
Moreover, the figure being chased appeared to have injuries.
Suk and his group were standing on high ground, which gave them a perfect view of the scene.
"This person looks familiar," Suk said with a hint of surprise.
Eloi glanced at it and said, "It's a disciple from the Snowlight Palace team we encountered before, the one that was hunting in the snowfield."
"So it was him." Suk remembered. "He looks like he's in bad shape. But why is he here alone? Where are his companions?" Suk was a little puzzled.
This snowfield, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, is teeming with all sorts of ferocious beasts, including some of which are cosmic-level creatures. It's not a place that a single-star being can easily venture into.
"Should we save him?" Eloi's expression was calm; she wasn't the type to meddle or be overly kind-hearted. And after fusing with the inheritance crystal and possessing the special life form 'Myriad Star Divine Beast,' that cold, inhuman aura became even more pronounced.
She only shows her tender side to her closest people, like Suk.
Suk laughed indifferently, "Since we've run into him again, he's lucky. Let's save him this time, considering the map information from back then."
But just as Suk was about to save people, an accident occurred.
A white shadow suddenly emerged from the snow and struck the fleeing man's body with lightning speed.
It was an extremely cunning snow snake adept at hiding and ambushing. In order to hunt, it could remain motionless under the snow for a long time, and even Suk and his group had not noticed it before.
"Ah!" Sa Zhaohong screamed in agony. His injuries, which were already extremely severe, could no longer be sustained. After slashing back the snow snake with his sword, he collapsed to the ground. Black and blue veins appeared on his face, clearly indicating that the potent venom from the snow snake bite had taken effect.
"I'm not reconciled—" Sa Zhaohong's eyes widened as he recalled the misfortune of his sect being destroyed.
The vast sect, with its familiar fellow disciples, was reduced to cold, lifeless bodies in that massacre.
Even the cosmic-level elders and the sect's strongest palace master could not escape this calamity.
"The Snow Mang Palace is finished." Sa Zhaohong felt a pang of sorrow, but he still subconsciously gripped a ring in his hand. It was given to him by his teacher, who told him to take it with him when he escaped and not fall into the hands of the people who destroyed the Snow Mang Palace.
"Snake Devouring City, you are ruthless. One day, I will make you pay the price." Sa Zhaohong gritted his teeth and tried to get up again, but the snow snake had already silently come behind him. Its mouth was wide open like a blood-red hole. With lightning speed, it bit Sa Zhaohong. Before he could even resist, the snow snake bit off his upper body, leaving only half of his body standing there.
"Pfft, we're a step too late." Suddenly a voice came, and Suk and the others appeared in front of the Snow Serpent. Seeing Sa Zhaohong, who had already been decapitated, Suk felt a pang of regret for his death.
The nearly 100-meter-long, all-white snow serpent warily glanced at the group of people who had suddenly appeared.
The ice wolves not far away also stopped, their blood-red eyes staring at Suk and his group, their eyes flashing with ferocity, as if they were considering whether to attack.
"Get lost!" Hail, who was standing behind Suk, stepped forward and glared. A terrifying aura immediately swept over the ferocious beasts. Whether it was the snow snake or the ice wolf, they were all just star-level ferocious beasts. They were all frightened by the aura of this ninth-level cosmic-level expert.
The "howl" of wild beasts made the ice wolves completely disregard everything else; they tucked their tails between their legs and fled in terror.
Stay away from these terrifying people, and the snow snake desperately burrows into the ground, leaving a large hole in the blink of an eye.
Suk ignored the mindless beasts and instead looked at the Snow Mang Palace disciple whose lower body was still bleeding, noticing the ring on his hand.
Soon the ring was in his hand. Suk examined it and smiled at Eloi, "This seems to be a spatial ring of a fairly high grade." Because the original owner had just died and the spiritual imprint had dissipated, Suk easily recognized it as his own. Then, he naturally used his consciousness to explore the inside. It wasn't that he coveted the other party's things; he just did it as a matter of course.
But to Suk's surprise, this seemingly high-end spatial ring contained only one item.
"What is this?" Suk looked at the black token that had just appeared in his hand. There were no words or patterns on the token. It was made of some unknown material and was a deep black, as if it could draw one's soul in. Suk felt a faint attraction when his gaze met the black token.
Suk was taken aback. "This token is extraordinary."
Eloi, watching from the side, was also drawn in and exclaimed in surprise, "This token is strange. I feel like looking at it affects my soul."
