Chapter 102 Another Conflict
The mummy was very fast, faster than most Hegemons. He was the kind that would make things difficult for many people. It only took an instant for him to arrive in front of Ciel and the others.
Kaiya who was standing in front was the first to be attacked. The mummy opened his mouth very wide and a very strong death energy gathered in front of that mouth, forming a sort of ball.
This was a strange way of attacking, obviously because he had no more intelligence to think.
Unfortunately, he attacked the wrong person.
Kaiya only had to stare at him, which instantly turned the air extremely cold.
Slowly, the mummy's movements slowed down as if his body weight was increasing. However, it was actually because his body was slowly freezing.
Before his attack could hit Kaiya, he had already completely frozen, becoming a statue of sorts.
After that, Kaiya suddenly pointed her finger at the mummy.
BANG!
Powerful Spiritual Energy gushed out from that finger, pushing the mummy backwards and continuing like that, destroying whatever was in front.
It seemed that Kaiya wanted to speed up the journey by directly destroying everything in front.
This indeed made things easy.
She only needed to unleash the power equivalent to a First Stage Hegemon, and that meant her attacks could reach the end of the tomb.
To Ciel and the others, everything happened too fast and they also did not see clearly what was happening.
When everything disappeared, they saw a long road ahead of them.
The road could be said to be quite bright as the remnants of Kaiya's power still emitted a clear light.
And along that road, Ciel saw various creatures including living Beasts.
They seemed confused by what was happening. Some who had strong instincts even became worried.
Of course, they weren't the only ones to be found, there were all sorts of treasures, from weapons with dazzling light to various rare plants and pills placed haphazardly. Some had been destroyed by Kaiya's attack.
"So many, can we take some?" Apparently, all those resources still attracted the Ice Palace disciples, they looked very eager for them. Even Mu Yixue stared at some that seemed like they could help her.
Ciel of course didn't care about what they wanted. He casually waved his hand and replied, "no problem, but don't let this tomb become empty, just take the ones on this road."
He still cared about his face. If he walked out of this tomb while taking all the resources, others would probably think of him and the Ice Palace as poor that they had to take something that should be shared with the people.
The Ice Palace disciples laughed at his words.
"Don't worry, Prince, we'll only take a few, the ones that are really useful to us, no one will realize that we took some," said one of those disciples who happened to have an easygoing personality.
Ciel nodded then looked at Kaiya.
"Take me to the end!"
He thought about getting there as soon as possible.
Kaiya nodded, she enveloped his body with her Spiritual Energy before taking a step.
In an instant, she and Ciel disappeared from there.
Even Mu Yixue and Jian Wuxin could not detect their movements.
Both of them were somewhat disappointed at being left here. Although they could go to the end of the tomb themselves, Ciel would probably already be finished there when they arrived.
Since it was like that, Jian Wuxin who was not part of the Ice Palace ended up moving to some resources that were of interest to her.
She came to this tomb in addition to wanting to find out the secrets of the Mountain King, also wanted to have an adventure and gain something by relying on herself.
Although this ended up being an easy adventure, but she had already paid a heavy price, giving herself to Ciel. She naturally wouldn't make this opportunity, at least she got a little payback.
No one cared about her actions. The others were busy doing things for themselves.
Even Mu Yixue didn't seem to be holding back.
Incidentally, Mei Mei was nearby, so inevitably, their gazes sometimes met unintentionally.
If they were close friends before, now it was a clear animosity.
Mei Mei showed her displeasure while Mu Yixue continued to show her superiority.
Unfortunately, the superiority of one side made this hostility uncomfortable.
Mei Mei as the inferior always feels pressured which then ends in frustration.
"Hmph, the future is always full of possibilities. Those who are better today are not necessarily better later. There have been too many instances where geniuses only become mediocre while the less talented reach a higher stage." Unable to bear it, Mei Mei accidentally said what she was thinking, and it was clearly shown to Mu Yixue.
Her words instantly made all the Ice Palace disciples stop their steps, then looked at her with their mouths open.
They had already sensed the conflict between the two from the start, but when one party spoke, the conflict might spill over into the next stage.
Even Jian Wuxin turned her gaze to Mei Mei then looked at Mu Yixue.
She was the only one who didn't know anything, but it was impossible for her not to understand now. After all, this kind of thing happened in her clan as well.
Due to being the target of Mei Mei's words, Mu Yixue couldn't help but knit her brows.
She attracted attention because of that, but this was not the attention she liked. She also felt somewhat uncomfortable.
In the end, she chose to look away while saying, "if you have determination, that's a good thing, but you should always remember that I also have great determination. I would be happy if you could really catch up to me."
Mu Yixue chose to act mature. That way, she at least did not appear to be bullying Mei Mei who was several years younger than her.
However, Mei Mei only became more offended. Her mouth pouted again.
Unfortunately, she seemed to have run out of words. No words came out even when she opened her mouth.
This increased the awkwardness, but it didn't bother Ciel who left with Kaiya even though he knew what was happening because he was watching them with his Eyes.
For that matter, he still regarded it as natural. Compared to Madam Maya and Madam Zhou's rivalry, their rivalry could be said to be a cute rivalry.
