Chapter 1080: 280
"Indeed, he didn't know anything about those Four Snow Mountain Friends or the Four Sons of Snow Mountain, but just from the proud way that man spoke, even a fool could tell they took pride in being disciples of the Four Snow Mountain Friends."
"The Four Snow Mountain Friends must be very powerful, so in such a situation, complimenting their master is definitely the right move."
As soon as Xiang Ziyu finished speaking, the faces of the Four Sons of Snow Mountain opposite him instantly turned incredibly strange, some angry, some embarrassed, some speechless…
It took a while before someone managed to speak, "Our master hasn't been asleep!"
This statement made the situation even more awkward.
Li Ke almost burst out laughing; this Xiang Ziyu was still pretending to be from the Central Five Provinces, pretending he had heard of their master, and look, he had made a big blunder.
He must be one; these Four Sons of Snow Mountain were existences at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, so naturally, their masters would be in the Earth Immortal Realm, surely all asleep.
But their master was still at the Golden Core Stage.
He didn't even consider that if they are all at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, why couldn't their master just be at the Golden Core Stage!
And yet, Xiang Ziyu didn't look embarrassed at all, saying, "Not asleep? It's all my master's fault, my master told me the Four Snow Mountain Friends were four first-rate masters, and he wasn't clear about it, so I instinctively thought your four masters must be above the Golden Core Stage and already asleep."
Xiang Ziyu wanted to salvage the situation, but as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Four Sons of Snow Mountain around became even weirder.
After a while, one of them said incredulously, "Our master, the Four Snow Mountain Friends are not just four individuals, but five."
They really were speechless now, if you don't know, then don't speak carelessly.
Li Ke's face flushed and she quickly turned her head away, struggling to hold back her laughter. She really couldn't take it anymore; Xiang Ziyu was truly a piece of work. Now she wanted to see how he would respond.
Xiang Ziyu was exasperated, "Your master is five individuals, so why call them the Four Snow Mountain Friends instead of the Five Snow Mountain Friends!"
These people are really illogical!
No choice, he could only continue to awkwardly explain, "So it is. My master only told us about the existence of the Four Snow Mountain Friends and didn't mention which four they were, so I always thought there were just four people.
Ah, there's no helping it, our master always had us cultivating in the mountains, this is our first time coming down, and for many people and masters and some immortal sects, we have only heard of them but never met them."
"It turns out to be so, no wonder then."
It seemed the other party was afraid Xiang Ziyu would say something else embarrassing, so they quickly changed the subject and turned to the Wind Fire Tribulation, saying, "By the way, you all have someone undergoing the Wind Fire Tribulation with you, who will be slower in traveling. We just remembered we still have matters to attend to, so we won't accompany you any further.
Dao companions, we'll be taking our leave first."
With that, the group flew away as if fleeing.
Little Beiyan immediately became upset, shouting loudly, "Look down on who? I'm faster, let them stand with me and compete, and see if they can be fast!"
"Alright, stop causing trouble," said Cao Zhen, looking at his disciples sternly, "We should have entered the Central Five Provinces now, no longer in the Eastern Wasteland. Although it's the Reversal Mini Epoch Period and your strengths are not bad,
but this is our first time in the Central Five Provinces. We don't know how strong the forces here are, or what taboos there may be, so we should all keep a low profile, especially you!"
Cao Zhen glared at Xiang Ziyu, saying, "If you can talk, talk less. They could have gone with us, but because you spoke out of turn, they've run off."
On the side, Little Bei piped in, "But, Master, you couldn't have gone anyway, you should be happy, because this way, we might not be able to find the place and might end up staying with you."
Cao Zhen, feeling utterly exhausted by his disciples, pointed at Bei Yan and scolded, "And you have the nerve to say that to me? You're not at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection either, do you think you can make it in?"
"Of course, I can," Bei Yan said as if it were obvious, "they all saw I was undergoing the Wind Fire Tribulation, but they didn't say I couldn't go, only that you, Master, couldn't go.
Master, if you think about it, after becoming Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, one undergoes the Wind Fire Tribulation. If Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection can enter, then naturally, the Wind Fire Tribulation can too, there's no problem."
"No problem? I think you all want to revolt, don't you, you…" Cao Zhen was just about to assert his authority as a master when from afar, the sound of breaking the air came, signaling others approaching.
Cao Zhen immediately fell silent and looked towards the direction of the noise; soon, multiple figures appeared in their sight.
This time, four individuals appeared, but unlike the previous group with two men and two women, the group before them now, all men, each had a strong aura of evil Qi.
