"Right."

Wang Yifeng nodded, chuckling softly, "That Old Zhou still harbors remnants of Zhou Xuan Ying's Divine Sense, and although it doesn't seem significant now, his achievements later on will undoubtedly be substantial."

"The fact that people are willing to help you this time already speaks volumes."

"Wang Ye, your connections in the Spirit Star have started to take root."

In this battle, besides the Ice Sect itself, there were others willing to assist Wang Ye.

Just based on this, Wang Ye's time in Spirit Star has not been in vain.

"Right."

Wang Ye responded, though his feelings were mixed.

Wang Ye was deeply moved that Zhou Ke and Tian Hailin had come.

It was somewhat unexpected.

At the time, Zhou Ke had mentioned to him that if he needed any assistance, he could seek Zhou Ke's help, but Wang Ye only interpreted Zhou Ke's words as mere politeness.

After all, how long had he known Zhou Ke?

Not long at all.

Yet when he was in danger, even though he did not seek out Zhou Ke, Zhou Ke still came of his own accord to help him.

He approached Zhou Ke, receiving help, without saying a word, yet Zhou Ke proactively came to support him, which fundamentally resonates differently.

The former is passive, while the latter is active.

Proactive assistance indicates that Zhou Ke's intention to help was far more intense.

Wang Ye's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Does this mean he owes someone a favor?

Seeing Wang Ye lost in thought, Zhou Ke spoke to him, "Don't overthink it. Why not owe favors? If you owe too many favors, they eventually become genuine bonds, and then it won't matter whether they're favors or not."

Wang Yifeng's words might not sound entirely reasonable, even somewhat like a rogue's philosophy, but Wang Ye's face broke into a smile.

Indeed.

His master was right.

Wang Ye glanced in Zhou Ke's direction and offered a salute.

Regardless of whether Zhou Ke could see him, he chose to extend his gratitude.

...

Originally, a battle with eight against eight, now became unbalanced.

Due to Wang Yan's clone, the Cold Sect's numbers increased to nine.

Cha Bei and Wang Yan's clone both fought Shi Qian.

Even though Shi Qian had fully restored his strength, the earlier use of Power of the Great Dao had exacted a toll.

At this moment, Shi Qian indeed suffered some depletion from his Power of the Great Dao, and for a period, it was impossible for him to use the Power of the Time Great Dao.

Their formidable attacks made Shi Qian cough blood incessantly.

Shi Qian glanced at the two before him.

Whether it was Cha Bei or Wang Yan's clone, these two were the strongest among those from the Cold Sect.

Shi Qian scoffed self-deprecatingly, "I don't even know why I deserve the honor of having the two strongest aimed at me."

Cha Bei spoke coldly, "You wield the Path of Time! Too many trump cards! We won't feel secure unless we deal with you swiftly."

Without the icy demeanor of Cha Bei, Wang Yan's clone smiled at Shi Qian, his expression gentle, speaking in a negotiating tone:

"Actually, there's another way. If you use it, we will cease targeting you."

"Simply seal away your inner power, surrender it to me, and after this battle, explain the Power of the Time Great Dao to me, and I shall release you. How about it?"

Wang Yan's clone's gaze gleamed brightly.

The Power of the Time Great Dao.

Even Lord of the Universe, Guo Yi, hadn't unraveled its depths.

If he could comprehend this power, his realm and strength would soar instantly.

"Heh."

Shi Qian looked at Wang Yan's clone with disdain, as though observing a fool, mocking, "Wang Yan, you are, after all, the Sect Master of Cold Sect; sometimes, your thinking is too simplistic."

"Considering Cold Sect under your leadership for so long without facing extinction, I'm astounded."

"Oh, wait."

Shi Qian mused while battling Cha Bei and Wang Yan's clone, despite being suppressed by them, he spoke casually:

"You're gearing up for a major battle against the Ice Sect."

"In this fight, your Cold Sect will inevitably lose to the Ice Sect and face obliteration! Then you'll be wiped out."

Shi Qian laughed maniacally.

The mad, mocking laughter instantly enraged Cha Bei and Wang Yan's clone.

"Initially, I wanted to leave you a way out, but since you don't appreciate it, then… die!"

The word "die" emerged from Wang Yan's clone as his power surged dramatically, his blade slashed down forcefully.

The air seemed filled with the essence of countless blades, forming a tyrannical, vibrating sword.

At this moment, the entire space was engulfed by the presence of the blade.

These blades targeted solely one person.

Shi Qian!

Clang!

The sound of the blade vibrating rang constantly, the fierce blade aura heavily struck Shi Qian's sword, forming countless cracks on it.

Shi Qian's previous smile shifted slightly.

There was some helplessness.

He had set his expectations too high.

Always waiting here.

Fighting alone against Cha Bei and Wang Yan's clone, yet others remained hidden, anticipating him to create their chance.

A group... of rascals indeed.

Shi Qian sighed.

He always knew.

Wang Yifeng had arrived.

Zhou Ke and Tian Hailin had also come.

These people had refrained from intervening for a simple reason: they were waiting for him to create a chance, a moment where both sides could strike.

The chance had been found.

Killing Wang Yan's clone and Cha Bei would settle the outcome of this battle.

"Fine, then I'll give you that opportunity!"

With that in mind, Shi Qian's sword finally collapsed into countless pieces!

Blades converged, all slashing towards Shi Qian.

Just as the blade aura was about to reach Shi Qian, a dark force swiftly enveloped his area.
