"Long Cloud Mountains?"
Chen Changming deliberately furrowed his brow, his gaze scrutinizing Elder Ziling as his tone carried a hint of suspicion. "You suddenly changed the location of our duel. Don't tell me you've already set an ambush over there?"
"Heh, Chen Shan, you were the one who challenged me, yet now you suspect that I've laid an ambush?"
Elder Ziling raised her willow brows, her voice dripping with mockery as she sneered coldly. "What, changing the location is all it takes to make you afraid to fight? Or were you never planning to have a real fight from the start?"
"What is there to fear?"
Chen Changming secretly rejoiced—Elder Ziling had taken the bait after all.
He knew full well that this woman was suspicious by nature. If he showed any hesitation, she would only become more vigilant. She might even cancel the duel and retreat into the Red Luan Immortal Sect, where it would be far harder for him to make a move.
He deliberately let out an indifferent sneer, his tone tinged with disdain. "We're both avatars now. Even if we die, it doesn't matter. It won't harm our main bodies in the slightest. What do I have to fear?"
It did not matter even if he died?
Elder Ziling froze for a moment, wondering which great figure in the Spirit Realm this Chen Shan was an avatar of, to care so little for his own life.
Could it have something to do with his cultivation technique?
Ice Spirit Fairy's Thousand Illusions Heartless Path gave every avatar an independent personality and consciousness, yet never concerned itself with whether those avatars lived or died. They were left to fend for themselves, reincarnating endlessly throughout the Human Realm.
That was precisely why Elder Ziling treasured her life so dearly.
