In The Gray Mist

High up in the skies above the Frost Syndicate town. 

A divine bird tore through the air, its body exuding Law lights that heavily distorted space. On the back of the bird were the extreme geniuses, Cain and Lan Rui. 

The duo was completely calm as they soared directly toward the Frost Islands. That previous encounter was nothing but a slight bump in the road. Even if that so-called Frost Syndicate had a Holy King master, it couldn't make ripples in either Cain or Lan Rui's mind. 

The duo was more focused on discovering the life-vein root. 

Lan Rui's tone was slightly dripped with budding anxiety. "I had hoped that book would tell us more than the bare basics. Mn, I want to save master's cultivation. But I don't want us to recklessly throw away our lives." 

That tone didn't go unnoticed by Cain. It even reminded him of faint memories from a far-distant past. But he didn't let himself get caught up in memories.
