"You have not answered me," Ed said to Tie Nse blankly. His actions were already seen in the eyes of everyone as arrogance. Many were fuming at his total disregard, especially the ancient sect disciples.

"You…!" they fumed.

"Soon," Tie Nse answered, "Let's wait over there," he led Ed away to the other side of the light realm table. He knew that his disciple's temper was unpredictable. His complete disregard for people is not an act of arrogance. He just does not feel he is part of this world. He was almost too one-track-minded. But he also understood the temperament of the eight powers. Ed would not interact well with them because of his aloof attitude. Looking at him standing quite away, Tie Nse sighed.

"He was not always like this, you know," Nti Anem said and Tie Nse raised a brow.

"The mist breaks you," he continued solemnly.

At that moment, there was a whipping sound crashing through the air. The light realm table hummed a subtle Hu sound under their feet.

"It's happening," someone said.

Just then, the whipping sound could not only be heard but seen in form of a vertical whirlpool whipping at the front of the light realm table.

"There are people who wish to enter in secret?" Ed asked and Tie Nse raised a brow. To this, Nti Anem laughed and asked, "Are you sure those are actually people?"

Tie Nse heard this and frowned.

Many powers looked at each other for a second, before signalling their disciples to enter the whirlpool. No one needed telling. Many jumped in groups at a time. Ed was not in a hurry. He cared not for any treasures. His goal was the burial chamber.

While many were excited to jump in, Ku Jian was being a child.

"Brother Ed, where have you been?"

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"Brother Ed, I'm also going into the light realm. Jian Jian is going to follow you!"

"Brother Ed, did the old pervert do something bad to you?"

"Brother Ed, he may be powerful, but this old pervert is of questionable character!"To her words, Ed said nothing, but Tie Nse was about to explode in anger, as he glared at her chirpy form.

Nti Anem watched Ed's interaction with Ku Jian curiously. He may not have known Ed long since entering the mist, but he could not understand why Ed seemed to ignore her but did not chase her away. It was almost as though he tolerated her. This in itself was odd for him to wrap his head around. So what could be the reason for his indulgence in her behaviour?

"We should join," Nti Anem said seeing that most of those participating had jumped in.

"Go on boy, I have Edged the directions to Nti Anem's mind," Tie Nse said and Ed glanced at him, before dashing forward with Nti Anem in tow. Nti Anem glanced at Ku Jian still grabbing onto Ed's hand and frowned. Was this girl intending to follow them? He was not the only one thinking this. The Ku clansmen were doing just the same. She was supposed to lead their group. But she is sticking to this boy like a fly following a dead body. And flies without advisers follow corpses into the grave. But could they admit they were flies? She was, after all, the adviser. If she herself has become a fly, then what were they? Ed dashed into the whirlpool and the Ku clan followed suit.

After they dashed in, a group of ghastly pale people appeared on the light realm table.

"Hoho… I was wondering how long you intended to hide before making your move," Tie Nse said to those that just appeared and everyone paused.

"Demon people,"

"They were actually here all this time?"

"Why were they hiding?"

"No one actually sensed them?"

Tie Nse exposing that they had been all this time watching in secret, the Demon people leader looked his way.

"The legendary Tie Nse, it seems the rumours of your unparalleled strength and wisdom are true," the demon leader said.

"Not really, my disciple saw you and made an off statement that caused me to suspect he was talking about you," Tie Nse said.

"Oh? That boy? My disciples will have to keep an eye out for him in the light realm," the demon leader said and Tie Nse nodded, "Please do,"

The demon people rushed into the whirlpool and the demon leader and his entourage remaining only nodded to the other powers and vanished.

"You have no fear, Tie Nse," the Ke clan head said.

"Sometimes I wonder if you wish to kill your disciple," Lady Mi said.

"Even if he really was the one who found them out, telling them so out-rightly, you are painting a target on his back! Do what you wish with your disciple, but my daughter is with him!" the Ku clan chief scolded Tie Nse.

"I would be shocked if they could. If I did not succeed in killing him, no one can," Tie Nse said coldly and vanished.
