Yang Su looked at this person who looked nothing like Li Shen with confusion.
"No, but you-"
Yang Su went to say but among the crowd, someone suddenly shouted out in shock.
"Dai Hee?!"
The masked person instinctively turned his head in the direction of this shout. When he saw who it was, his face paled. The person was a young man wearing a silver coat, a signature sign of the Solitary Sword Sect.
"You-You didn't die?"
This male disciple asked dumbfounded, but then his face slowly morphed into a savage expression.
"If you didn't die then why didn't you come back to the Young Master?"
Dai Hee gritted his teeth and he didn't answer this disciple, instead, he turned and rush off the stage.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
That disciple barked and immediately followed in pursuit.
'Damn it, how did this happen?'
Some distance away from the battle arena, Dai Hee was still being chased by that disciple.
'It's because of those strange people attacking me. Now that my identity has been revealed he won't let me go.'
Dai Hee's heart was filled with regret.
'I should have ended it when I got onto the Chosen Rankings and was qualified to enter the Chosen Tournament, but instead, I continued because of a few low-grade spirit stones. Damn it, should I escape this city so he won't find me? But if I do I won't be able to participate in the Chosen Tournament.'
"DAI HEE, STOP!!"
Dai Hee looked behind and saw the disciple was still on his tail.
'I should lose this person and then decide what to do.'
Dai Hee's body jerked to a stop but soon after his legs bent and pushed off the ground to land on one of the many snow-covered buildings.
The disciple gritted his and roared out.
"I SAID STOP!!"
The disciple quickly lept up and flew into the air above the building Dai Hee disappeared. However, Dai Hee was nowhere to be seen only the numerous snow-covered buildings in the distance.
It would be difficult to find him in this huge maze-like city, and that wasn't to mention he was using some concealment technique to mask his presence.
"That fucker!"
The disciple cursed.
"But to think he was alive. When he escaped the clan into the Absolute Zero Domain young master was enraged because he thought he was dead. However…"
That disciple wore a hesitant expression.
"Is he really that weak and timid Dai Hee who couldn't cultivate from our Sol Clan?, How did he survive after entering the Absolute Zero Domain and then showed up here with a cultivation base at the early Core Formation Realm?"
"Did he obtain some fortuitous encounter?"
This was the only conclusion the disciple could come to.
"I should report this to the Young Master. How would he react when he finds out about this? Won't he be exhilarated? The Young Master will definitely give me a great reward as a result."
With eyes gleaming with excitement, that disciple turned and then flew off into the distance.
After a few minutes, a portion of snow on the building shifted as Dai Hee rose up.
He looked in the direction the disciple flew off in with a nervous expression.
"I need to leave, I don't care about this Chosen Tournament anymore. This was a stupid idea in the first place."
After saying that Dai Hee flew into the air. He was heading in the direction of the teleportation circle to leave this city.
For the Star Bound Continent, teleportation circles were the main mood of travel from one city to the other due to the Absolute Zero Domain.
However, by the time Dai Hee could see the area designated for the teleportation circle, his vision was starting to get blurry.
"No, I won't go. I don't care anymore, he might find me if I continue to stay here."
There was something in Dai Hee's head. A desire to participate in the Chosen Tournament so he could go into the Hidden Fragmented Realm.
But this wasn't just a desire, it was as if something from the void was calling out to his soul, pulling him towards it. Only recently did he find out it was coming from the Hidden Fragmented Realm.
It was so intense that if Dai Hee were to ignore it, his soul fluctuations would go haywire and he would have seizures.
"N-No, I don't know why this is happening to me but I can't stay in this city anymore. I… I need to…"
As Dai Hee was going against this calling from his soul, his vision suddenly went black and he fell out of the air.
….
…
..
At the area designated for the teleportation circles in the city, a horse carriage could be seen leaving the area.
"It looks like the teleportation circle is yet to finish, but they've been building it for months."
In this carriage, Lu Shin could be seen looking out the window with his chin resting on his palm. He looked a bit older with his hair tied into a neat ponytail.
What he was staring at was the partially finished teleportation circle that was supposed to take everyone to the city created for the Chosen Tournament.
"Is the city where the Chosen Tournament will be held that far? How else are they cutting it so close to the Tournament's starting date, it's supposed to happen in three days' time but will they finish it before then? And why do they choose to construct the teleportation circle in this remote city and have every participant come here? Due to the fact that this city is so close to Absolute Zero Domain, it's colder than the cities in the Central Zone. I'm circulating my Internal Qi while wearing several pairs of clothes made of Fiery Silk but I'm still cold damn it!"
As Lu Shin ranted he progressively got angrier and angrier.
A sigh could be heard before a gentle but cold voice echoed out.
"Please stop complaining, or else I'll travel on my own."
This voice came from Lu Yue who was calmly sitting across from him. The coat around here had furs at the end of its hood that slightly hide her face, but her unique appearance could still be seen.
She was not much different from three and half years ago, asides from the fact that she had somehow become more beautiful. As well as the fact that her once ocean-blue hair was now pale white like the falling snow.
Her eyes which were originally sapphire red and sapphire blue were now a dull silver color. These changes didn't seem normal but instead were caused by something.
"Nonsense! How can I have my precious little sister travel alone in this weather? Especially after I couldn't convince you to stay home, what if your condition deteriorates because of the Yin Energy here? And that idiot says there is a separate gathering of the Mid Generation of geniuses to determine who gets to enter the Hidden Fragmented Realm, so he's not with us."
"It's a risk I'm willing to take."
Lu Yue responded simply.
Lu Shin hearing this looked at her for a moment then said grumpily.
"Is it for that good for nothing Second Prince? How can you fall for someone like that who hasn't visited you once in the nearly four years you both were engaged? Now the first news that was heard of him in those four years is that he was dead. Father said he'll find a way to fix the unstable Yin and Yang Energy inside your body so you don't have to think about marrying that jerk anymore."
Lu Yue shook her head before she said while glancing out the window.
"Even if it wasn't to help me, I would have still liked to marry him."
