The legendary warrior

"Good to see you all! Chief Zenith, Dominant Top Elder and other Elders!" Ricky said politely as he was suspended in midair by Zenith's power.

Ricky felt contented at their shocked faces, especially the dismay on Boris' and Elder Logan's face.

It was certain that these people had completely expected that he would end up dead. But now he had returned, safe and sound. It was easy to see they were so astonished.

"Ricky, how come you're not dead!?" Elder Evan and other Elders asked in disbelief, their eyes wide open.

"Do you all want me dead so badly?" Ricky responded with a faint smile. His eyes swept over Boris, who looked utterly displeased.

"Ha-ha, well like I've observed before. Since you have mastered the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, there was no way you would die at the Blizzard Cliff!" Elder Mateo laughed, reacting first.

"Ricky, please tell us how did you survive these past two months?" Elder Abbott was very curious.

"I luckily found a cave, which was too small for the fierce beasts to enter. So I survived there," Ricky answered with a smile.

"A cave? You were so fortunate!"

"All right. Since Ricky has returned unharmed, I think we should start leaving the Blizzard Cliff," Zenith said to the Elders at that time.

Then Zenith, Ricky and several Elders left first. Boris and the three others remained.

"Dominant Top Elder, it's impossible! There have never been caves on the Blizzard Cliff!" Elder Logan said indignantly.

"I know. Zenith must have given Ricky something to help him survive. I should have thought about that!" Boris said angrily.

"But it's no big deal. He's just a Blood Purification warrior, after all! Zenith is not in control of everything. It's not the end of our plans. As for his real strength, only time will tell.
