Cang Jin studied Wang Yan before shaking his head, "But if you want me to submit to you completely and listen to your arrangements unconditionally, I can't do that."
"Why?"
Cang Jin spat out a few words indifferently to Wang Yan's questions.
"You're too weak. You're not worthy."
Wang Yan could not help smiling bitterly when he heard that.
Cang Jin was not lying. He was indeed very weak right now. Even if he possessed great battle prowess and could challenge those a few levels higher than him, so what?
The Starsource Continent was so vast. This was only a part of the eastern plane.
There were definitely as many monstrous geniuses as there were hairs on an ox, but there were plenty of people who could challenge those with higher cultivation levels.
Cultivation and strength were the only things that mattered.
"Senior Cang Jin, do you want to make a bet with me?"
Wang Yan asked gruffly as he thought about it.
Cang Jin remained indifferent when he heard that. Although his eyes were burning with desire, they were still as calm as an ancient well.
"My cultivation is weak right now. Senior Cang Jin is an expert about to reach Star Forging, so it's only natural for you to look down on me.
"However, we can make a bet. If I don't break through to the tenth layer or even the Star Forging realm in three months, senior Cang Jin can treat what I've said today as nonsense.
"However, I can still help senior Cang Jin break through the limits of the Emperor Ba Body and offer up a mid Earth Tier martial skill!"
With that, Wang Yan's eyes narrowed. He growled, "On the other hand, you have to do what I said before!"
Even someone as expressionless as Cang Jin was quite shocked by Wang Yan's words.
If it were not for the fact that he had personally witnessed Wang Yan kill Qiu Chi and the others, as well as the battle in the beast tide, he definitely would have believed Wang Yan to be a madman.
In three months, he would break through from the fifth stage of the Star Guide realm to the tenth stage, or even the Star Forging realm!
Even Cang Jin himself didn't dare to say whether or not he could break through to the Star Forging Boundary within three months, but Wang Yan dared to boast.
"Are you sure?"
After recovering from his shock, Cang Jin no longer concealed the passion in the depths of his eyes.
It was because he felt that this was impossible. It was too outrageous.
Three months later, he would be able to obtain a Medial Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique and break the shackles of the Emperor Ba Body.
This was simply a gift from the heavens, a blessing from the heavens.
"Words spoken are like spilled water. If Cang Qing doesn't believe me, I can swear an oath here. How about it?"
There was no smile on Wang Yan's face. His eyes were as deep as the sea, unfathomable.
His voice was deep and resounding, full of penetrating power. It seemed that if Cang Jin did not believe him, he would immediately swear an oath.
Shaking his head, Cang Jin's voice was like muffled thunder as he said, "No need, I believe you."
After saying this, he looked deeply at Wang Yan, turned around, and left.
Seeing the tall and sturdy figure disappear into the boundless white fog, Wang Yan was absent-minded.
Just now, he had said such arrogant words to convince Cang Jin, and to set a goal for himself.
Within three months, he had to reach the peak of the Star Guide realm.
This was the first step in subduing Cang Jin. If he couldn't even take this step, then he really wasn't worthy of the title of Heaven Gate's Gate Master.
… …
"Reporting to Senior Cang Jin, of the one thousand disciples this time, there are only nine hundred and twenty people present."
A disciple came to Cang Jin's side and reported respectfully.
Previously, when the beast tide suddenly broke out in the Dense Fog Forest, everyone was collecting Sun Congealing Grass and was unprepared.
In the end, under Cang Jin's summons, everyone gathered together and split into ten teams to search for the disciples that were left behind.
In the end, they lost many disciples. Although the more Sun Congealing Grass they collected, the more generous rewards they would receive when they returned to the sect.
But if they lost their lives, no matter how much Sun Congealing Grass they collected, it would be of no use.
Cang Jin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Previously, a beast tide broke out in the depths of the Dense Fog Forest. Those who haven't been found most likely have no chance of survival."
"Now, even the outskirts of the Dense Fog Forest are no longer safe. No one knows whether a beast tide will appear or not."
After saying this, Cang Jin raised his head to look at the sky. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it could pierce through the layers of thick fog.
"There's no time to lose, let's return immediately!"
No one objected to Cang Jin's decision. Everyone felt that returning to the sect was the safest and wisest choice.
"Line up!"
Under Cang Jin's swift and decisive arrangement, everyone lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards the exit of the Dense Fog Forest under his lead.
Wang Yan and Wang Xian 'er were at the end of the line. Holding hands, they walked forward without saying a word.
Suddenly, Wang Xian 'er was slightly startled, then slowly closed her eyes.
Not long after, she opened her eyes again, stretched out her slender jade-like hand, and pointed to a distant place in the vast white fog.
Wang Yan nodded and wrote the word "Okay" on Wang Xian 'er's palm. Then he let go of her hand and stopped.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan's figure was hidden in the white fog and disappeared.
Because the beast tide had retreated, the ferocious and barbaric air that filled the entire heaven and earth was gone. The white fog once again filled the air, and everything returned to normal.
Under the restriction of the soul, they could only see three feet in front of them clearly with their eyesight.
If it wasn't for the marks left by Cang Jin along the way, everyone wanting to find the exit would be like a blind man touching an elephant.
The greyish-white sect robes were not inferior in this place. It was obvious that they almost merged with the vast white fog.
Other than the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Wang Yan once again appeared beside Wang Xian 'er.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
…
After an unknown period of time, the vast white fog that blocked their vision suddenly became thin.
Everyone could not help but be excited, knowing that they were about to leave the Dense Fog Forest.
Sure enough, after walking for another cup of tea's time, their vision suddenly became clear. Looking back, the vast white fog was receding behind them.
It was dusk, the setting sun was like blood, the afterglow was warm.
Seeing the light of day again made everyone excited, but when they thought of their fellow sect brothers who would forever stay in the Dense Fog Forest, their depressed mood gradually spread.
Cang Qing did not allow the crowd to rest for a moment before he suddenly shouted.
The voice mixed with Star Power was like a clap of thunder in the air. Suddenly, all the birds and beasts were scared out of their wits and fled.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a sharp and clear whistling sound rang through the sky.
Then, a giant creature that covered the sky and the sun shot down from the sky at the speed of lightning.
In a few breaths, everyone felt their vision darken, and the blood-red setting sun seemed to be blocked.
Then there was the sound of wind breaking, and a strong gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.
The Blue Back Blood Eagle, covered with blood-red feathers and with a back as wide as the sky, landed steadily in front of Cang Jin.
"Go!"
Cang Jin suddenly stomped on the ground with one foot. As the ground cracked, his tall and sturdy body rose from the ground and landed steadily on the back of the Blue Back Blood Eagle.
Seeing this, all the disciples landed in an orderly manner.
"Xian 'er, hold on tight."
Wang Yan tightened his grip on her slender waist. With a thought, along with the surging Star Power, he tiptoed.
With Wang Xian 'er in his arms, he was like a wild goose gliding across the sky, landing steadily on the back of the Blue Back Blood Eagle.
