Rumors (3/3)

The eight powerful cultivators were soaking in the Heavenly Pool, so they were naturally extremely sensitive to changes in the water temperature.

Though the temperature change here was not yet especially obvious, to powerful cultivators, even the slightest change could be magnified infinitely so long as they paid attention to it.

Why had the temperature suddenly dropped for no reason?

Everything had begun after Zhou Heng entered the Heavenly Pool and vanished!

Had that kid done this?

The eight of them were suspicious and distrustful. Deep down, they did not believe Zhou Heng could accomplish such a thing, because they were not without curiosity themselves. How could they not have explored the bottom of the Heavenly Pool before?

Yet after diving less than a hundred zhang, they could go no farther, while the bottom of the Heavenly Pool was unfathomably deep. To say that Zhou Heng could dive that far down... even if these eight were killed, they would not believe it!

Thus, although they suspected him for a while, they ultimately cleared Zhou Heng of suspicion and instead attributed it to the changes that would occur here once the restrictions opened. Earlier, things had simply happened to reach a critical point.

With the strange flame in hand, Zhou Heng naturally had no intention of lingering any longer. After he, Black Donkey, and Bing Xiulan spent several more days searching fruitlessly for Fire Fox Peaches, they stopped wasting time, left Flame Mountain, and continued onward.

Along the way, they heard plenty of news.

"Did you hear? One Sword Shatters Heaven killed a Purple Frost Immortal Luan five days ago and seized three Heavenly Fragrance Jade Spirit Fruits!"

"Heavenly Fragrance Jade Spirit Fruits? Those are rare treasures of heaven and earth!"

"One Sword Shatters Heaven was already a ten-wheel Sunflare King.
