Several miles away, close to a huge pagoda that Situ had just seen from the peak of the tall tree, a group of people with youthful appearances were standing, among them was a woman with white eyes, that had black hair and a black dress.
To her right, a man with red hair could be seen he was dressed in white, but a spear was hanging on his back.
The woman had a sword be her waist, while the red haired boy with a spear on his back, seemed to be looking to their left.
There another group was standing, and the two seemed to have an unusual relationship, it was easy to see it from the way they looked at each other.
Unlike the youth that Situ saw fighting a rank one monster, this group were giving off pressure that overshadowed rank one monsters. Obviously, they were stronger than rank one monsters by a far.
Even to now Situ did not know much about monsters and beast, but there was a very big difference. Monsters were way stronger than beasts, as they had just started to use the aura in the air to strengthen themselves and with their improvement even the weak bloodlines, they may have would allow then to gain abilities and if they went further their wisdom would continue to open up, and those are far from the current Situ.
Back to the youths, another woman could be seen covering her face with a blue cloth, and this made all the boys in the group look over at her from time to time. It seemed like she was mysterious and thus others were very attracted to them as it is the situation for most men, but if Situ was here, he would be talking his own foolish philosophies before using some trick to blow away that curtain on her face.
Bad thing he was not around, and even if he was present, his level of strength would not allow it before this group. They also seemed older than even the youth from before by a few years, implying that they were very old compared to Xiaohe and Situ.
"How many are going? "In the moment, someone could not wait anymore and asked directly. Regardless of how everyone looked around they did not expect the sound to come from behind a tree. A man with a scar walked out, he was also the same age as everyone else. But the scar made him seem fierce and on his right hand, one could see he had a saber there.
Standing there he seemed like a bloody saber, since the moment he appeared, a bloody presence filled the place, but the others seemed to be unfazed, they clearly are people used to the scene of blood, they have killed others too.
"We agree with about 40 people on the top of Pagoda rankings to leave but they are still taking their time, as for the actual number that will come by the set deadline, we are not sure." Answered the red-haired youth, he also radiated some sharp spear presence. It seemed that the groups gathered in this place had decided to show case their prowess, considering that different auras had filled the entire place, not giving each other a chance at all.
One might think that the man would rush to protect the woman covering her face with a 'curtain' but that did not happen in the slightest, in this moment Situ would understand, that the things he read in novels did not all apply in real life. Men have managed to cultivate themselves to this stage, how could they be licking dogs.
One could wonder what this group was waiting for, but near them were several boats, standing close to the shore, together with the bundles each was carrying on their backs, it was obviously this group of crazy people were going to try cross this hue lake, that even Situ almost fell from the tree when looking at.
The fact that they were standing close to it was also a big issue to take not of, the difference in strength of the two side, can also be inferred from this.

Desolate domain, in deep space.
An infinite continent was floating in deep space, from all directions complex symbols could be seen, creating something like a barrier on the continent, and yet no one could estimate the end of the symbols.
In one area of the continent, A blue water like curtain was covering an area of several light years, and this was only one of the numerous territories on the continent.
In one of the huge and prosperous cities, a huge portal was opened and an old man walked out followed by Situ's parents, at this moment, their bodies radiated intense killing intent and their bodies were stained in blood that did not seem there, just standing there could make one shiver.
Behind them also followed some other old men, and no one was talking at all, they passed through the formation and headed to another one, that brought them all the way to a cold land of extreme. In Situ's previous life the coldest place was the arctic, but in this place the arctic did not even hold a candle. It was so cold that even space seemed like it could be frozen.
With a wave of a token, a huge space seemed to be opening, the elder on the front moved to the side, allowing Mu Chechen and Fengxian to descend down the space that had been opened.
If one looked, they could only see disappointment in the eyes of the two and nothing else and this could be easy to understand, as the fight they got involved allowed them to go all out and before they could finish off the enemy, the supreme elders from their side intervened and let the enemy escape, despite the number of humans the enemies had slaughtered.
Such people with power and not involved in war, but always meddling with the words like 'Greater good' at the tip of their tongues. In this moment they were being punished as for the instructions of the supreme elders, since they ignored them and almost destroyed the enemy completely. The place they were to be imprisoned was the Cold Abyss, that would have then struggle to use the energy in their bodies to avoid themselves from being frozen, this would even make it hard for them to advance. In the worse case scenario, their realm would only regress.
