Chapter 171: So What if I Do?

Instantly, the iron scaled blight bees noticed Lu Zheng and swarmed him in hundreds. A moment of shock came over Lu Zheng but he quickly controlled his emotions.

By the moment he was completely covered by the iron scaled blight bees, a red light flashed. The sound of a throbbing heart could be heard and the thick pungent smell of blood emanated.

The hundreds of iron scaled blight bees fell to the ground at once to never stand up. A faint sanguine light still radiated from Lu Zheng's body.

Lu Zheng's mind spun rapidly as he gazed at Zuo Xiuzhen and the others. Even if this was Western Plains, if anyone saw him use a blood path technique…

For some reason though, Zuo Xiuzhen and the others couldn't see him. They were still gazing in the direction of the last sunset light flower Lu Zheng took.

"That confirms it… this is a tributary of the River of Time" Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly shined with brilliance.

There were many Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth, each having their own characteristic nature. The Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth had all existed before the world itself and possessed might far beyond mortal comprehension.

The River of Time was the largest Secluded Domain of Heaven and Earth, flowing from the very beginning of time for eternity. With it, time trickled along without stopping.

The River of Time was like a great river. Its width was the entire world, its depth was the myriad beings and its length was time itself. Wherever there was a sense of time, there was a tributary of the River of Time. Only, these tributaries were too small to be sensed by the keenest of senses.

When the tributaries became larger, the rate of time flow would increase accordingly and they would be visible to the naked eye.

Because of the restriction of the time path dao imprints in the River of Time, it was completely impossible to enter it with spatial passages. However, one could enter it with these tributaries.

Lu Zheng's black pupils glistened: "That means the time flow here is many times greater than the outside world!"

Lu Zheng was finally moved. Tributaries of the River of Time sped time up greatly. If one was too careless, their lifespan would dwindle out within moments.

Even though his lifespan was many tens of centuries long, Lu Zheng didn't dare to be too careless.

After scooping a vial of water from the tributary of the River of Time, Lu Zheng left and re-joined Zuo Xiuzhen and the others.

"Let's go" Lu Zheng smiled as his body became visible once more.

"Hmm" Zuo Xiuzhen nodded. Just as they turned to leave, lush vines rose from the ground before binding them in a space thirty metres wide.

Zhongyao Shu's face paled as he exclaimed: "A wood path battlefield technique!"

Twelve figures clad in black walked out of the vines and a man said: "You have good eyes. Pity, they can't help you now"

Hearing the man's deep voice, Qing Shou Jian's face darkened: "Ethan! How dare you ambush my Moon Lake Squad!?"

Qing Shou Jian did not like this Ethan. They were both from Heijiao Palace and were both Commanders of their own squads but they worked under different Elders.

Although it was one force, both Elders belonged to different factions and as a result, minor scuffles would arise between them. This was the problem of the righteous path.

If that were all, Qing Shou Jian would accept it as fate. However, during the last time they met, Qing Shou Jian clashed with Ethan and lost one of his squad mates. Even though Heijiao Palace turned a blind eye to conflicts between factions, it did not tolerate murder.

For this reason, the Moon Lake Squad held back but Ethan surprised them by killing that man.

When they reported the matter, Ethan's superior covered the matter and did not punish him. Ever since then, Copper Totem Master became vexed with Qing Shou Jian and punished him dearly. He almost lost his position as Commander.

"Hahaha. I always knew your Moon Lake Squad was weak. You even had to rely on outsiders for mere gentle face orchids. Is it because I killed Fen Mu Pan?" Ethan laughed, pouring more salt on Ethan's wound.

"Don't you speak his name!" Doecii blared.

"So what if I do?" Ethan smiled as he savoured his words. "Will you… kill me?"
