Chapter 80: The Cavalry Has Arrived

Over the cold ocean, a gigantic eagle flew rapidly.

On its back were three people; Lu Zheng, Olina and Maurice.

Olina had enlisted the help of Maurice to help save Hong Haoyu.

The trio rode on a rank six White Belly Eagle named Kyle.

The speed of this eagle was shocking. In a short two hours, they had reached the Arctic Ocean and could vaguely see the silhouette of the icy continent called Antarctica.

During the trip, Lu Zheng had used the frost gems he had to pay his agreement with Olina.

As for Launi and Ele, they had hitched a ride on a ship. Kalani had unfortunately died in the layered realm.

The Vermillion Sacred Prism floated around Lu Zheng as did Darmian's sword.

"Hmph! Lu Zheng, you as my master? Impossible! Your bloodline is weak and your cultivation base is extremely low. You are just not worthy! Don't even think about it!" A feminine voice babbled on in Lu Zheng's mind.

Ever since he had left the layered realm, the Vermillion Sacred Prism had been speaking to him.

From their conversation so far, Lu Zheng had deduced two things, the Vermillion Sacred Prism's artifact spirit was extremely proud and was a talkative.

"There is a blood connection already…" Lu Zheng started to say before the artifact spirit shunned him.

"And so what?! There are many Vermillion Birds out there that could be my master. Why choose you? You are not even a pure blood. But fine, since that slug Darmian chose you, I'll give you a chance. When you reach the Acquisition realm, we can talk"

With that, the Vermillion Sacred Prism flew into Lu Zheng's spatial ring.

"Sigh" Lu Zheng massaged his temples as he looked at the icy continent that was entering his line of vision.

Kyle was extremely fast and with a few more flaps of his wings, they could already see Hong Haoyu indistinctly.

He was fighting against at least twenty martial practitioners whose aura was unmistakably at the Void Passage realm.

His situation was dire. His translucent body was covered in cracks. His right arm had been incapacitated and it did not regrow.

Seeing the eagle entering his vision, Hong Haoyu let out a sigh and smiled: "The cavalry has arrived"

At once, Maurice broke in to save Hong Haoyu.

Olina had already explained who the enemies and friends were.

As an Acquisition realm expert at the peak of his realm, Maurice was able to hold back the twenty two Void Passage realm experts firmly.

Finally, Hong Haoyu was able to rest and tend to his injuries.

Lu Zheng flew over from Kyle's back and held Hong Haoyu.

Hong Haoyu was completely spent and was at his weakest at this point.

Lu Zheng immediately willed out numerous Profound Grade pills and fed them to Hong Haoyu.

Within moments, Hong Haoyu's amputated arm regrew. However, the cracks on his body remained.

"Take these" Lu Zheng willed out ten frost gems from his spatial ring and gave Hong Haoyu.

Olina was stunned to discover that Lu Zheng was willing to give Hong Haoyu ten frost gems for free. After all, frost gems were incredibly rare.

He had only managed to give her fifty as a show of gratitude for letting him enter the layered realm.

Even then, she thought he was already dry.

When Lu Zheng noticed that the frost gems were working well for Hong Haoyu, he brought even more out.

Olina was bewildered.

She remembered what Iokepa had once told her about Lu Zheng's origin: "He must originate from a Super Clan"

After absorbing the ice Qi within eighteen frost gems, Hong Haoyu's body returned to normal.

"Thank you" Hong Haoyu said.

"We're brothers, it is nothing" Lu Zheng wore a warm smile.

Hong Haoyu's gaze shifted from Lu Zheng to the sword floating by him before clicking his tongue at Olina.

"Hmph! Men" Olina snorted.

Over at the battlefield, Maurice had already killed half of the martial practitioners while the rest were only prolonging their own deaths.

A win was naturally expected.

Just as Maurice was slaughtering the Void Passage realm experts, a loud grunt was heard by everyone.

"Don't play butcher on my territory!" The voice roared.

The moods of the eleven remaining martial practitioners were instantly lifted as they yelled: "Lord Bennett!"

A man descended slowly from the sky with his arms crossed. His pupils were like yellow gemstones and his nose was thin. He was garbed in orange raiment and exuded the demeanour of an expert.

His cold gaze swept around before settling on Maurice: "You're the one rampaging on my territory?"

Maurice was slightly stunned before retorting: "I don't remember there being an Antarctica Union"

The auras of these two clashed causing the onlookers to freeze on the spot.

Even Kyle, the White Belly Eagle, could not move a muscle under the suppression of their auras.

Bennett's lips curled into a curt smile as he sized Maurice up: "Let's test fists in the sky"

With those words, Bennett flew back into the sky.

Maurice snorted before following Bennett, leaving a flashy trail of fire behind him.

Once Maurice left, the eleven Void Passage realm experts transformed from cornered chickens to brave lions.

They stared at Lu Zheng and the others with menacing gazes. It was obvious they wanted to fight.
