Yun Zhi looked at Wang Yan with disdain. "Who is this Wang Guqing? He was even able to kill the Star sect's Second Elder, Shi You, who was at the fifth level of the Star Condensation Realm."
"And before that, he killed Li Zhenhai, who was at the peak of the Star Condensation Realm, completely disregarding the Tengyun Trade Association."
"How domineering is this? How insufferably arrogant. Such a youth will sooner or later stand at the peak of the Dongzhou Continent."
With that said, Yun Zhi's gaze fell on Wang Yan and she shook her head in disdain.
"As for him … forget it, I don't want to hurt someone's self-esteem."
Lei Batian frowned as he listened, but there was nothing he could do. Since Wang Yan had already denied that they were just people with the same name, it didn't matter much.
Wang Yan sneered in his heart, but his expression didn't change. He continued to flip the roast chicken.
It seemed that in Wang Yan's eyes, this roast chicken was far more important than his thunderous reputation.
At this time, Lei Batian raised his head and looked at the starry night sky. He muttered to himself for a moment, then waved his hand.
"It's getting late. Let's set up camp here."
As his voice fell, everyone immediately moved. Some went to fetch water, some went to fetch firewood.
Not long after, several tents and three bonfires appeared not far from Wang Yan.
Lei Batian walked over with a jar of wine. Without greeting, he sat directly opposite Wang Yan.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Yan put down the chicken leg with grease dripping from his mouth and frowned at Lei Batian.
With a silly laugh, Lei Batian handed the jar of wine to Wang Yan. "Have a drink?"
"I only drink with my brothers and friends."
In an instant, Lei Batian's expression froze. Then, he smiled and shook his head. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine.
"Do you mind if I try your roast chicken?"
"Whatever."
Lei Batian didn't hold back at all. As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, he immediately tore the roast chicken in half and wolfed it down.
He looked as if he hadn't eaten roast chicken for several lifetimes, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Lei Batian gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine and looked at Wang Yan with a burning gaze.
"Little brother, you are also going to the White Bone Forest. Do you want to come with us?"
"We can take care of each other. How about that?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan's heart jumped, "You know the exact location of the White Bone Forest?"
"Of course. If we didn't know the exact location, we wouldn't have gone to the White Bone Forest with so many people."
After a moment of silence, Wang Yan frowned and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Wang Yan did not believe that there was such a thing as a free lunch in this world, and that there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
"Alright, alright. Little brother, you just need to be in charge of our meals."
Hearing this, Wang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Lei Batian as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You think that my cultivation is too low and that I will be protected by you guys?"
"So, as a condition, I have to be in charge of your meals. In other words, I have to cook for you every day, right?"
Gulping down a mouthful of wine, Lei Batian laughed and said, "Little brother, you are indeed smart."
"This trip to the White Bone Forest won't be too peaceful. Many forces have already heard about it."
"Following us will naturally save you a lot of trouble."
Wang Yan didn't say anything. He only looked at Lei Batian in a daze. After a while, he nodded his head.
Since he was already treated as someone who needed protection, why not?
The night passed peacefully. The next day, as the sun rose from the east, the Wolf Band set off again.
However, at this time, the Wolf Band had an unfamiliar member. It was Wang Yan.
"Little brother, what are you carrying on your back?
A zither? "
After traveling for half a day, Lei Batian finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Wang Yan was slightly startled, but he didn't answer.
"Of course it's a zither. It can't be some kind of weapon, right?"
Yun Zhi helped Wang Yan out of his predicament, but her eyes were still filled with disdain and even a trace of contempt.
This made Wang Yan very puzzled. He didn't know the Wolf Band at all, and it was his first time meeting Yun Zhi.
Why did the latter always look at him with such unkind eyes and always look down on him?
Was it because his cultivation was too low that he had the same name as the Sun Sect's Wang Guqing?
"Little brother, you are really elegant. You are going to the White Bone Forest with a zither."
"Could it be that little brother thinks that the long road is too long and lonely, so you need to cultivate your mind?"
In the face of Lei Batian's teasing, Wang Yan chuckled and nodded without a trace.
But not long after, Lei Batian and the others found something strange.
Although Wang Yan was only at the 2nd stage of the Star Refining Realm, according to common sense, he should be able to travel a thousand miles in a day.
But at this moment, Wang Yan not only didn't walk side by side with them, but hung far behind them.
"Boss, what's wrong with this kid?"
Retracting her disdainful gaze, Yun Zhi asked curiously. "Could it be that this kid is wary of us?"
"Wary?
It can't be, right?
We don't want to do anything to him. "
"Then why isn't he walking with us, but following far behind us?"
Hearing this, Lei Batian was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Why do we care so much? Let's do our own thing. It's best if this kid can keep up, but if he can't, then forget it."
"There are many strong cultivators going into the White Bone Forest, we need to speed up, or else the opportunities will be taken by others."
With that, under Lei Batian's signal, the members of the Wolf Band gradually quickened their pace.
But no matter how fast they walked, Wang Yan was always able to follow them from afar.
There was always a distance of a hundred meters between the two.
Wang Yan stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, he walked forward slowly with heavy footsteps.
He still couldn't fully adapt to the weight of the Extreme Heaven Destruction Halberd. Without using Star Power, every step was extremely difficult.
"Kid, do you want me to catch a Core Beast for you?"
A fragrant wind blew past his nose, and Yun Zhi's mocking voice sounded in his ears.
Wang Yan was startled. He looked up and saw Yun Zhi's pretty face that seemed to harbor evil intentions.
Although this woman was not as beautiful as Wang Xian 'er, she had a valiant and formidable-looking aura.
She was like a heroine, her every movement inadvertently exuding a unique heroism.
"Don't worry about it."
"Heh, you really don't know how to appreciate my kindness. How can you take my kindness for granted?"
"Fine, then you can follow us from afar. Don't blame us if we lose you."
With that, Yun Zhi walked away like a gust of wind.
He really came and went like the wind, and his movements were agile.
Looking at the back of the Wolf Band, Wang Yan smiled bitterly and quickened his pace.
"Lei Batian, is your Wolf Band a tortoise?!"
Right at this moment, an explosive shout sounded out of thin air, and it shook the surrounding area to the point that leaves rustled and fell.
Whoosh …!
An ear-piercing sound of wind breaking could be heard. It was like thunder rolling through the air, hurting everyone's eardrums.
