Chapter 3309
"I didn't expect that there would be such a story."
"He's bold. How dare that humble peasant hit Jeremiah."
"It won't be good to protect the Gu clan this time around. After all, that lowlife is the one who has acted in this matter."
In the midst of the discussion, everyone's expressions changed; their attitudes toward Fade also changed.
Finally, amidst the noise, Ezekiel looked at Fade and said, "The Loh family will kill him."
"Whoever stops us will be the enemy of the Loh family. We will fight till our death!"
When he said the last two words, Ezekiel deliberately increased his volume. An invisible wave of air spread out from him, exerting terrible pressure on everyone.
At that moment, the atmosphere changed. Many of the people who were discussing passionately all shut up.
Obviously, Ezekiel's attitude made those who were neutral and those who leaned toward supporting Fade too afraid to express their opinions at the moment.
After all, no one was willing to offend the Loh family just to support a person who had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, the situation was completely controlled by the Loh family.
At that critical moment, Natalia stood up. She looked at the Loh family without fear and said, "Fade is my disciple. Whoever dares to lay a finger on him has to go through me." Hearing that, Ezekiel glared at Natalia coldly.
Natalia did not retreat at all. Her eyes met Ezekiel's, looking determined.
In the end, Ezekiel was the first to withdraw his gaze. He gently turned and landed on Devin.
Compared to Natalia, the attitude of the Gu family was obviously more important.
After all, although Natalia was famous and powerful, she was just an alchemist. She was only one person. Therefore, she was still incomparable with the ancient family. Therefore, the attitude of the Gu family had become crucial.
Once the Gu family gave up on Fade, he would not be able to stand only with Natalia's support alone.
On the contrary, if the Gu clan firmly supported Fade, the Loh clan would likely face some trouble.
This truth was known not only by the Loh family, but also by the Gu family. It could be said that everyone present knew this.
That was why at that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the Gu Family, especially on Devin, the head of the family.
Devin was expressionless and silent. It seemed difficult for him to make a decision.
Seeing that, Talmon quickly tried to persuade him. "Fade is our Gu family's benefactor, we However, before Talmon could finish, Deniz said, "I think it's best to plan carefully."
"If we fight with the Loh family now, even if we can win, it will be a loss of our lives. If we don't fight, given the Loh family's current situation, they will definitely decline and perish in a hundred years. At that time, our family will naturally become the number one family in South Van City."
"Therefore, there's no need to take this risk."
Deniz's words caused the expressions of many members of the Gu Family to change.
After all, the risk was the least, and the profit was great. It could be said that it was a deal that would definitely make a profit.
In that instant, quite a few members of the Gu Family leaned towards Deniz's words.
Yarrow was anxious and hurriedly said, "No."
"Why not?" Deniz asked.
Yarrow said, "It looks like our family has obtained benefits, but the price of getting benefits is to betray our own people. Once such a thing happens, our Gu family's reputation will be ruined. Once it spreads, our family will never be able to develop in the future." Deniz retorted, "Keep up with the times. What reputation? When the time comes, our Gu family will become stronger and we won't have to worry about the people we work with. Strong strength is the true foundation of development. Reputation is just a joke." "Deniz, if you are willing to be scolded, I won't stop you, but I don't want that to happen to me," Yarrow said passionately.
"You- " Deniz was furious.
It seemed that the two sides were about to fight.
At this time, Devin, who had not spoken, finally spoke. "Shut up."
In an instant, the scene became quiet. Everyone's eyes gathered on Devin, waiting for his decision.
"This is a matter of great importance. There is still one day left. Our family needs to go back and discuss it properly."
After that, Devin directly turned and left.
The members of the Gu family behind him hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Talmon and Yarrow looked sad. They hurriedly reminded Fade, "Fade, there is still one day left. You stay inside. Don't come out. We will find a way to save you." After that, the two left.
At this time, Ezekiel's mouth showed a faint smile, and the light in his eyes became more and more confident.
He turned to Fade and said coldly, "Kid, there's still one more day. If there's anything unfinished, hurry up and make arrangements. You won't have the chance tomorrow."
Natalia said, "Fade, don't be afraid. I will always support you."
"Thank you, Master." Fade nodded, then turned around and rushed back to the depths of Frost Valley.
Seeing this, Lucian was slightly nervous. "This kid wants to escape."
Ezekiel replied placidly, "The Frost Valley has a formation personally set up by Mr. Goo. He won't be able to escape."
"Moreover, if he were to rush out now, that would be perfect."
Ashwin looked at Masie, Tyreece, and other players expressionlessly and said, "There is still one day before the exit of Frost Valley opens. If you want to come out now, you can withdraw and admit defeat, and then come out." Hearing this, several people hurriedly spoke.
"1 admit defeat. I'll quit."
"I quit too. I'm leaving now."
Without any hesitation, they withdrew immediately.
After all, no one present was stupid. They could all predict that when the exit of Frost Valley opened, the Loh family would definitely take action. Then, a big battle would be unavoidable.
Taking advantage of the present situation to leave early was undoubtedly the best choice.
After the other contestants left, Fade was left alone in the large Frost Valley.
Fade ran wildly all the way to find the bodies of Cayson and the three Loh family members. He put them into the Icy Soul Pearl, avoided the water mirrors, found a cave, and hid himself in it. In the cave, Fade sat cross-legged, trying to calm down.
The situation was very clear. It was obvious that the Loh family was going to attack him. Natalia would help him, but she was no match for the Loh family.
As for the Gu family, Fade definitely could not place his hopes on them. He had to prepare for the worst in the event that the Gu family would not lift a finger.
If it really happened, it would be difficult for Fade and Natalia to withstand their enemies' attacks alone.
In particular, the Loh family's patriarch, Ezekiel, was a Fetus Refine Realm practitioner. From the perspective of cultivation, he was a whole realm higher than Fade.
Fade still remembered the horrible pressure he had felt in the ice lake.
That had happened when the formation kept them separated. If they were facing each other head-on, Fade would not have had the confidence to block Ezekiel's attack. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment was to improve his strength as much as possible.
Thinking of that, Fade immediately
began to operate the World Tree
Yuan Seal and began to madly absorb the cold air in the Frost
Valley Although it was not as good as the cold air in the ice lake, it was also a supplement to the ice essence.
Then, Fade took the bodies of Cayson and the Loh family out of the Ice Soul Pearl.
Without any hesitation, he launched the Origin Returning method, absorbing the four people's Yuan Seals and merging them into his own World Tree Yuan Seal. Soon, the four Yuan Seals were completely absorbed.
Fade could clearly feel that his World Tree Seal had become much stronger.
The current World Tree Yuan Seal, in terms of quality, had already reached the Human Level Level Eight. In Nanyan City, it was definitely a high-quality Yuan Seal.
As the quality of the Yuan Seal improved, the whole World Tree seemed to be more lush, and its aura was more and more intense.
After the World Tree's quality improved, Fade's fingertips ignited a flame and landed on the corpses of the four people.
He looked at the time and found that at least four hours had passed. There were only 20 hours left before the exit of Frost Valley opened.
It seemed that if he continued to increase his strength and absorb positive energy and ice spirit, the effect would not be too great in a short period of time.
Suddenly, Fade thought of the Eternal Ice Core of the Ice Soul Pearl and immediately took it out.
Suddenly, a chill spread out, and the
temperature of the whole cave dropped a lot.
Feeling the terrifying coldness of the Eternal Ice Core, Fade suddenly thought of something and his eyes brightened.
"After continuous absorption, my ice essence has increased greatly. I also have this Eternal Ice Core in hand. If I add this to the Ice Soul Pearl, it will be able to emit chills."
"They have the same attribute. If I can stack them together, the power that erupts may increase by quite a bit. At that time, I may be able to fight Ezekiel who is at the Fetus Refine Realm." Thinking of that, Fade felt a little excited.
"How can I combine them to make the most of my power?"
Fade thought quickly, constantly considering many possibilities in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of something. "The Eternal Ice Core is not only cold but also very sharp. If I can turn it into a weapon, I can use them to slow down the enemy's speed and attack the enemy with the energy of the Eternal Ice Core, the effect will definitely be good."
Thinking of that, Fade immediately began to prepare.
Although Fade didn't know how to refine weapons, he knew the basics for refining medicine. Furthermore, he didn't really need to refine a weapon in a short period of time. He
only needed to transform the Eternal Ice Core into the shape of a Weapon so that it could accommodate the coldness from both ice essence and the Ice Soul Pearl.
This was not very troublesome. He emitted the ice essence from the Yuan Seal, injected it into the Eternal Ice Core, and slowly shaped it into the shape of a dagger.
Eight hours later, Fade looked at the Eternal Ice Core that had turned into a dagger in his hand, and smiled.
