"You've done well. Just a few insignificant characters dared to scheme against me; death is too easy for them."

Listening to Peng Ru's explanation about killing those three people earlier, Wang Junze nodded in satisfaction and casually responded, "The things you seized don't need to be given to me; keep them for your own cultivation."

The three of them actually had quite a number of Spirit Stones and treasures, including this Netherworld Flying Ship, but Wang Junze naturally didn't care about these and directly gave them to Peng Ru.

"It's a pity the demon cultivator leader likely truly had a treasure trove somewhere, but the incident happened too suddenly to ask about it," Peng Ru explained again.

"It's not important!"

Waving his hand, Wang Junze answered indifferently.

A Heaven-Stepping demon cultivator, even if he truly hid something, Wang Junze wouldn't care, nor would he deliberately search for it; there's no point.

"Young Master, in the Mirage Forest..."

Pointing towards the Mirage Forest, Peng Ru still asked with some concern.

Earlier, when Wang Junze fought the Mirage Dragon, she didn't dare to get close, and naturally wasn't clear about the situation.

"No worries, the opponent is the Mirage Dragon, and has already made a pact with me. He will help me acquire the Other Shore Flower later," Wang Junze replied casually, waving his hand. "Let's go, you will come with me to see him."

Speaking, Wang Junze directly led Peng Ru into the Mirage Forest.

The Mirage Qi here is the eye of the Mirage Dragon, but now it won't affect Wang Junze anymore.

A moment later, Wang Junze met the Mirage Dragon.

Compared to Wang Junze, the Mirage Dragon's injuries were far more severe, making recovery not so easy.

However, due to the Dragon God's Oath, the Mirage Dragon did not worry that Wang Junze would attack him again and directly revealed his true form, speaking in a muffled voice, "I need some time; if you're in a hurry, you can go ahead first. When the Other Shore Flower matures, I will certainly come."

"Alright!"

To this, Wang Junze naturally had no objections. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to Peng Ru and said, "This is my maid. If anything unexpected happens during the upcoming battle, help me watch over her."

"Understood!"

The Mirage Dragon had little interest in a Refining Spirit Realm human like Peng Ru; he merely glanced at her to memorize her aura, then agreed directly.

"Let's go!"

Immediately taking out the Netherworld Flying Ship, Wang Junze took Peng Ru and soared away.

Initially, Wang Junze intended to leave Peng Ru on Mirage Island, as the Mirage Qi there is protective enough to ensure her safety. However, after some thought, he decided against it, bringing Peng Ru along would allow her to witness more of his battles with others, which would only benefit her cultivation.

With the help of the Mirage Dragon, even if danger arises, he believes Peng Ru will be sufficiently protected.

This time, after leaving the island, Wang Junze didn't take any detours but headed straightforwardly towards the island marked on the map where the Other Shore Flower grows.

Having seen the treacherous Nether Sea yesterday, Wang Junze dared not to fly too fast and took about half a day to reach the marked location.

Now, there are still four days left until the Other Shore Flower matures.

But when Wang Junze landed on the island, he found that many people were already there.

Of course, this island is even larger compared to Mirage Island, spanning nearly a hundred miles in circumference. Thus, even though the island is crowded with people, they can spread out enough to avoid direct conflict.

Moreover, those who dare to come here are after the Other Shore Flower and are not weak, making them more cautious of each other. None dare to initiate conflict without understanding the other's strength.

With a slight glance, Wang Junze saw a small mountain in the center of the island and vaguely felt most of the spiritual energy on the island converging towards that mountain. A quick thought made it easy to guess that the Other Shore Flower likely blooms atop that mountain.

Thus, it's easy to infer that the island's truly formidable powerhouses are gathered on the mountain, while those surrounding are mostly hoping to get lucky and benefit somehow.

With a light chuckle, Wang Junze didn't pay mind to these people and calmly walked towards the mountain's direction.

Wang Junze's actions naturally drew everyone's attention.

At that moment, people's reactions were filled with surprise; Wang Junze had not concealed his aura, allowing everyone to easily sense that Wang Junze was merely at the Heaven-Stepping Realm, with a woman beside him only in the Refining God Realm. How dare he be so bold and head straight for the mountain where the Other Shore Flower resides?

Where did this fool come from, not knowing what death means?

With so many people spread around the island, hardly anyone dares to approach. Do you think everyone else is stupid?

Many were waiting to see a spectacle, even calculating whether after this fool gets killed, if they could snag any benefits.

At the very least, the woman at his side is quite beautiful!

A moment later, Wang Junze arrived at the mountain's foot, but before he could climb, a fierce flame fell from the sky, heading straight for Wang Junze.

For a moment, everyone's lips curled with cold smiles, already preparing to see Wang Junze make a fool of himself.

Arriving earlier, they naturally knew how terrifying this flame was; this was the Crimson Flame Array laid by Jiao Yang. Forget Heaven-Stepping, even ordinary Void Shattering cultivators find it difficult to resist such flames, at best getting singed, at worst entirely incinerated.

However, just as the flame descended, Wang Junze merely raised his head slightly, seemingly without any action, yet a layer of Profound Ice appeared on his body!

Poof!

The flame capable of easily killing a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse extinguished instantly upon touching the Profound Ice on Wang Junze, not only failing to kill him but didn't even affect him at all, dissipating as if brushed away by a gentle breeze!

Buzz!

Instantly, the entire island was in an uproar.

Although a few people previously sensed that someone daring to walk directly in must not be simple, they couldn't have imagined such casual deflection from Wang Junze.

Such strength is truly terrifying.

Those present were not without judgment, but... even among Void Shattering powerhouses, how many can so easily block the Crimson Flame?!

Who is this person?!

Wang Junze naturally didn't care how others saw him, smiled lightly, and continued to walk towards the mountain.

The experiences on the deserted island made Wang Junze clear that being low-key in the Nether Sea has no effect; rather, directly displaying strength avoids most troubles.

As for whether someone might guess his identity from this, he couldn't care less.

Ye Piaoling as an identity is being presented publicly for the first time, naturally needing to establish authority, which is also what Dugu Feng wants to see, isn't it?
