Inside the base of heavenly martial sect,
An elegent youth donning a green robe was sitting in a chair. Several beautiful young ladies and handsome youths were sitting around him. The atmosphere was a bit heavy inside the room.
A beautiful young lady who was sitting closest to the elegent youth had a frown on her face. She said in annoyment.
"Brother Stephen, we have reached our limit at the Thousands Dragonnest. Those damn flood dragons are endless. Furthermore, all of them are rank 4. Their demonic core are precious and all other are keeping their eye on them like hungry wolves. We will not be able move unless we join hands with others but I don't see it happening anytime soon".
A youth sighed as he facepalmed and said,"Brother Stephen, Lacey is right. We will need to join hands with other if we want to move forward. But just the thought of joining hands with those bastardy frustrates me".
The elegent youth who was called Stephen smiled as he said, "Lacey, Nigel. You don't need to worry too much about it. Since, we can't advance at the Thousands Dragonnest, we will use this time to explore other areas. What is the situation in other places? "
"Brother Stephen, things are like usual. But recently, I heard an interesting news. This will surely grab all of your attention". The youth called Nigel said while maintain a sense of mystery.
As he said, Stephen's interest was picked. "What is this interesting news? Come on tell me. Don't just keep it yourself".
The girl name Lacey was already annoyed by the flood dragons. The act of Nigel annoyed her further. She huffed, "Humph.. He is just acting. Marvyn Ruguoberg and Dacre Raymond entered the city of death and returned alive. This is all that has happened".
Nigel was still in his act. He laughed creepily, "He he he, then you still don't know the most interesting news. A essence core realm cultivator returned alive after entering the city of dead. Furthermore, he even has a rank 4 demonic beast as mount. This is interesting right".
Stephen nodded, "Interesting indeed".
nigel laughed again creepily, "He he he...That is just the beginning. Marvyn and Dacre are now at the ruins of abyss. I think they are going to explore it. Furthermore, a lot of disciples are also heading towards the ruins of abyss. Things are now getting interesting".
Stephen smiled as he looked at all the people inside his room as he declared, "Then we will join in the fun too. Let's go to the ruins of abyss. We will take this chance to discuss with other about the further exploration of Thousands dragonnest".
-----------
Similar scenes were taking places at the bases of different sects as they were all heading towards the ruins of abyss. Himalayan martial sect, rhino sect, Raymond family, Ruguoberg kingdom, unity academy and other smaller sects were making their move.
The winds finally startimg to rise inside the swordridge valley as all the cultivators were gathering towards the ruins of abyss.
-------------
A youth wearing a black martial robe was fighting with a rank 4 demonic stripped leopard inside the forest which was near to the Thousands Dragonnest.
The youth had a long white spear made out of bone. He was using the spear like it was part of his body. Every swing of his spear was accompanied by a faint roar a dragon.
He dodged the attack of rank 4 demonic stripped leopard as he jumped. With a single jump he rose fifty meter high the air. He used his right hand to hold the spear while using his left hand to aim.
Whoosh..
He threw the spear. With a roar of the dragon, the spear came out alive as a faint shadow of a dragon coiling around the spear could be seen. The spear hit the head of the rank 4 demonic stripped leopard.
A hole could be seen in the head of the leopard as a black shinning crystal was could be seen inside the head of the leopard. The spear easily passed through by poking a hole inside the head of the demonic leopard.
The youth gently landed as he pushed his hand forwards. A buzzing sound was heard as the bone spear flew back and landed on his hand.
"I can finally borrow a little bit of power from the spear. After all that training, it finally feels like my previous spear. It is easier to control my movements while wielding this spear".
The youth smile while looking at the bone spear in his hand. He walked forward and easily took out the demonic core of the demonic stripped leopard.
At this moment, he heard the sound of several people travelling at fast speed towards him. He calmly waited for the people to appear.
Five cultivators wearing similar robes were travelling towards at high speed. They finally halted when they saw the corpse of the demonic stripped leopard and a single youth beside the corpses. Greed started rising in their heart when they saw the corpse of the demonic stripped leopard but instantly died down when they took a close look at the youth.
"That is Gilde. The person who injuried the clearsky child. All of better behave while I handle this peoperly". The person in lead of this group whispered to his group as he walked forward.
The bowed while cupping his fist, "Greetings Hero Gilde. I have heard of your heroic deeds. I did not think that I would be fortunate enough to meet hero Gilde today and witness your noble self".
The person was good with his words. He smoothly flattered Hilde while still maintaining his respectful attitude.
Hilde was unperturbed by his flattery. He calmly said, "Tell me why are you in such a hurry. Tell me the things that are happening inside the swordriddge valley in details and I shall give the corpse of this demonic beasts as reward".
'Lady luck is shinning on me today. To think this Gilde would be so generous'. The man thought but he feigned a surprised look on his face as he said:
"What? Hero Hilde does not know about the ruins of abyss and city of dead. Everyone is talking about it".
With that he told Hilde about the events that took place at the city of dead as he mentioned about the cultivators swarming towards the ruins of abyss for unknown reasons. After finishing, the group happily left satisfied while carrying the corpse of the demonic stripped leopard.
Gilde was the only one left. He gripped his spear tightly as he looked at the sky. "Sectmaster is the semester after all. He came back alive from the city of dead and even tamed a rank 4 beast. It's been only a week since we entered the swordridge valley but he should be stronger now than before".
"Sectmaster will be there and Says will be there too. We have all grown stronger. We should take this chance and dispose those clearsky sect and rhino sect bastards for good this time at the ruins of abyss".
Gilde also left while carrying his spear towards the direction of the ruins of abyss.

At another place,
A group of beauties were travelling through the forests. They were all wearing a white robes except for a short girl who was among them. While they were laughing and travelling, there seems to be a unique power protecting them due to which all the demonic beasts in their way retreated away from them.
"He he he, we will be able to watch some fun this time at the ruins of abyss".
"Right right. Sister Saya, you will be definitely see that Stephen kinsley of the Himalayan martial sect again. He will be there too".
The girls were talking while moving through the forest. The little girl wearing the black robe among the girls snorted coldly, "Humph.... I don't care if that Stephen or whatever is there. I will teach him a painful lesson when I meet up Gilde and that boy".
"Sister Saya, who is this boy that you are talking about? " one of the girls asked curiously.
"Him, his name is Sam Desvons. He is that essence core realm cultivator that you guys were talking about earlier. He is the only person at that realm inside the swordridge valley".
One of the girl looked at the girl leading them as she asked, "Sister clover, didn't you mention that you met an essence core realm cultivator at the outer areas few days earlier? Was it him? "
The girl leading the group had a beautiful face with her long hair flowing down to her waist. She nodded. "I did meet a essence core realm cultivator at the outer area. I saw him while I was watching the moon on the first day we came here".
Saya walked to the front of the group as she wrapped her arms around the leading girl as she said in a mischievous tone, "Sister clover, you are so beautiful in daylight. But that boy saw you while you were watching moon. Humph.. He must have fallen for you. Hehehehe, it will be so fun if you get married to him and join our heavenly martial sect".
Clover face turned red as he retorted,"What are you talking about? I just saw him in passing. Why would he fall for me? "
The group of girls all laughed as they moved through the forest.
If Sam were here, he would definitely be surprised because the leading girl called clover was the girl whom he called as moonlady.

Turbulent waves were rising inside the swordridgde valley. As news spread, all the cultivators were heading for the ruins of abyss. The ruins of abyss was going to be turned into a battlefield where cultivators fight for supremacy.
Meanwhile, Sam and little Titi arrived at the ruins of abyss after flying for a day without taking rest. Standing at the head of little Titi, Sam looked down towards the ruins of abyss. It was shrouded in dark clouds which made it difficult for him to see anything.
He channelled essence energy into his eyes as he looked around. He noticed two youth sitting in front the ruins of abyss while drinking alcohol.
"Eh? They look so familiar. Wait.. They are those two whom I saw fighting inside the city of dead. Why are they here now? "
Sam wondered out loud as he jumped down from the head of little Titi meanwhile little titi also change into its 'cat' from and landed on Sam's right shoulder.
Sam looked forwards and all he saw was area covered with darkness like a black fog covering the land. Sam calmly walked forwards and stopped in front of the two youth. He looked at Dacre and smiled.
"We meet again".
