Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 166

A delicate and barely audible sound reached his ears, causing Zhou Yi's feet to abruptly halt. He gently released Yuan Lixun and said, "Lixun, our grandfathers are just up ahead."

Following Zhou Yi's gaze, Yuan Lixun looked ahead. However, in her eyes, all she saw were trees upon trees. 

Nevertheless, Zhou Yi's words instilled in her a near-blind confidence. With a nod, she carefully tidied her clothes, and a blush of prettiness graced her cheeks once again.

She gently tugged at Zhou Yi's sleeve and asked, "Young Master, if Grandfather asks, what should we say?"

"Tell him the truth," Zhou Yi replied, puzzled.

Yuan Lixun blushed even more, saying, "We've been away for so long, and our clothes are wrinkled. Do you think... they will..."

Zhou Yi chuckled and reassured her, "Don't worry, they won't think too much about it."

With that, he reached out and pulled Yuan Lixun along, causing her to involuntarily follow him as they passed a few towering trees, finally arriving at the spot they had originally left.

Zhou Yi's figure was as swift as lightning. Only after he appeared and stood still did Zhou Wude and Zhou Lao noticed his presence.

"Yi, where have you been?" Zhou Wude's gaze narrowed, and it wasn't until he clearly saw Zhou Yi's face that he relaxed. His brows furrowed, and he asked somewhat displeasedly.

Zhou Laibao smiled and said, "Elder Master, young people rarely have the opportunity to go out and explore, to relax and unwind. You don't have to worry so much." His gaze toward Zhou Yi and Yuan Lixun was filled with gentle amusement. From his tone, it seemed as if he thought they had left without permission just for the sake of sightseeing.

Zhou Wude shook his head slightly and said, "I understand, but at the very least, leave us a message so we won't worry."

Although the old man spoke of worry, in reality, neither he nor Zhou Laibao had any concerns. Present-day Zhou Yi was an innate powerhouse. In this world, the status of innate powerhouses was highly revered, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Moreover, the martial prowess of an innate powerhouse was equally unattainable for ordinary individuals.

With the cultivation of the tenth level of inner strength, Zhou Wude and Zhou Laibao could stroll around here without worrying about any dangers. Therefore, when Zhou Yi left, they had even less reason to worry.

If there was one thing that annoyed the two elderly men, it was the fact that this young couple had left without a word, not even leaving a single clue behind.

Zhou Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Grandfather, I did want to inform you, but the situation was urgent, and there was simply no time to leave an explanation."

Yuan Lixun also remembered the frantic state Zhou Yi was in at that time, causing her face to blush once again.

At that time, Zhou Yi was worried about her, so he hurriedly handed her that miraculous garment. If it weren't for that, there might have been time for an explanation.

In fact, the reason Zhou Yi didn't leave any explanation was because he had great confidence that he could kill that spiritual beast within an hour and bring it back with him.

Prior to this, Zhou Yi had twice experienced the slaying of spiritual beasts and possessed a profound understanding of their strength. He believed that he had more than enough time within an hour. In his calculations, he would return with the corpse of the spiritual beast while the two elderly men had not yet come back.

However, he never expected that this particular spiritual beast not only had two heads but also possessed formidable power. Combined with the encounter with the large stone, it ultimately caused such a long delay.
