On the other side, Zhang Lie, also unable to find Liang Hao's whereabouts, began to wander aimlessly in the empty valley.
"You wretched brat, you better not let me catch you, or I'll definitely cut you in two to vent my anger."
After venting his anger, Zhang Lie glanced around and frowned slightly.
"This is really strange. I've been to this snow-capped peak at least eighty or a hundred times, but I still can't find the way out of the valley. It feels like I'm here for the first time."
Just as Zhang Lie was wondering if his memory was failing him, he suddenly saw three figures carrying firewood walking not far ahead.
"Hey you guys, stop right there!"
Zhang Lie roared and immediately stopped the group.
Seeing this, Dugu Xin and the other two tried their best to suppress their inner fear and put on a calm expression as they looked at Zhang Lie.
"What do you guys do?"
"We are woodcutters from the foot of the mountain, here to gather firewood. What brings you here, friend?"
"Gathering firewood?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lie glanced around and then raised his broadsword.
"You actually came to this godforsaken place to gather firewood? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Tell me, where around here are these trees for you to gather firewood from!"
Dugu Xin: "Brother, what do you mean by that? Why can't we come here to gather firewood?"
Hu Guangshan immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Do you live on the other side of the sea? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Zhang Danfeng: "Friend, I advise you to get out of the way quickly. My wife is waiting for me to take the firewood back to cook."
Zhang Lie grinned: "Stop pretending. An ordinary woodcutter couldn't possibly climb this high. You must be that kid's accomplices."
"Take me to him immediately, or none of us will leave here alive!"
Dugu Xin: "Friend, are you robbing me? All those excuses are just to get money, aren't they?"
Hu Guangshan: "Exactly, you've been rambling on and on, and I still don't know what you're talking about. If you want money, just say so."
Zhang Danfeng: "Although we are penniless, we may not be able to meet your requirements."
After being ridiculed by the three, Zhang Lie flew into a rage: "Damn it, I never expected that I, a dignified second-grade Quasi-Emperor cultivator, could destroy stars with a mere wave of my hand!"
"How dare you three ants mistake me for a robber! A quasi-Emperor cultivator cannot be insulted! The three of you will die by my blade today!"
The next moment, he raised his broadsword: "Before you die, I will allow you to leave your names. I, Zhang Lie, will not kill the nameless."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin immediately brought his neck close to the blade, grabbed Zhang Lie's hand, and said, "Do you keep your word?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Lie asked, puzzled.
Dugu Xin: "To tell you the truth, my name is Wuming, so you cannot kill me."
"hiss……"
Zhang Lie gasped, looking at the "nameless guy" with a death-defying expression, and felt as if his mind was not working properly.
"Fine, I won't kill you, but I can kill the two of them, right?"
Zhang Lie turned his gaze to Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng.
Unexpectedly, the two said in unison, "We are also called Nameless Ones."
"hiss……"
Zhang Lie felt a little dizzy and couldn't react to the situation at first.
"Wait, let me catch my breath. You're called Nobody, and all three of you are called Nobody. I really can't bring myself to strike you with this knife."
Dugu Xin: "Therefore, my friend, you must keep your word. As the saying goes, a promise made by the Emperor is as good as a promise made by four horses. You must not break your promise to anyone."
In an instant, Zhang Lie felt like his brain couldn't keep up.
At the same time, he recalled what Ji Bingyan had said when she brought the intelligence.
"Among the four quasi-emperors of Saintly Monarch Rock, Zhang Lie is a stubborn man. He was hit on the forehead by a falling rock when he was young, and he can't understand things if you make them a little complicated."
By focusing on this point, we can successfully lure the pre-arranged trap into the trap. This person must be Elder Dugu himself.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xin patted Zhang Lie on the shoulder: "My friend, are you looking for a guy dressed in black, with a foul mouth, who's about thirty years old?"
Zhang Lie's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about the nameless guy from before: "Right, right, do you know where that guy is?"
"Of course I know. To tell you the truth, this guy swindled a lot of money from us last time, he even swindled my mother out of her coffin lid."
The reason we came to this godforsaken place to gather firewood was to find this guy's trail, so the authorities could arrest him and we could get our hard-earned money back.
Hu Guangshan: "Yes, yes, that's right. This guy is also a lecher. He not only ruined all the girls in the village, but he didn't even spare the sows in the pigsty that were about to give birth!"
"Terrifying!" Zhang Lie exclaimed in shock. "Is it really that outrageous? Why didn't they invite me to this kind of good thing?"
Dugu Xin solemnly declared: "It is absolutely true! I see that you are quite skilled, my friend. If you can rid our villagers of this scourge, we will definitely erect a longevity monument for you and worship it day and night."
"Do you have any trace of him?"
"We've roughly located the place. If you'd like to find him, we'd be happy to show you the way."
"Alright, lead the way. Such vulgar scoundrels deserve to die by my blade."
Without a second thought, Zhang Lie was easily swayed by Dugu Xin and the other two into walking towards the trap circle.
At the same time, on Liang Hao's side...
"Ah owe~"
He sneezed several times in a row, wiped his nose, and muttered, "Which bastard is talking about me behind my back again? Don't let me find out, or I'll smash your head in."
They then continued to collect the relics from the Blood Ancestor, returning with a full load.
...
On the other side, not long after the woman wearing the phoenix mask entered the empty valley, she encountered Fahai sitting in the snow and ice chanting Buddhist scriptures.
