The legendary warrior

"Ha-ha, looks like you're going to have a hard time in the Five-element Sect in the following days." The Dragon Intent Grass laughed.

"It doesn't matter. I just wanted to relieve the embarrassment. Besides, I am just staying there for a while. I don't plan on making any friends on my visit," Ricky said.

The Misty South Palace was still his dream destination.

...

A few hours later, Wells and Lloyd landed simultaneously. Lloyd was still the calm and energetic self he always was. It was as if he hadn't been through a battle at all.

Wells, on the other hand, had a trace of discomfort, and naturally, his black hair was a bit messy.

Obviously, Wells had been at a disadvantage in the previous confrontation.

"All right, Lloyd. I'll give him to you now. But don't train him to be as soft as you are," Wells said lightly. "And I do hope you won't get involved in the matter of the Five-element Flag."

"You can rest assured that I am not that kind of person," Lloyd answered in a soft tone.

Then, Wells turned to Raylan and said, "Let's go." They left.

"We must leave, too.

This is not a good place to talk." Lloyd declared, again in the soft tone he was well known for. Then he, along with Ricky, Ashley, and the others, left the scene as well. A few minutes later, they arrived at a green mountain far away.

Wooden houses and palaces were laid out all over the mountain range, which made it a suitable cultivation place for the disciples of the wood branch.

An invisible array covered the surroundings and was continuously absorbing the power of heaven and earth, especially the power of wood. This power would then be gathered in the cultivating place below, to be utilized by the disciples at will.

"Ricky, the wood branch is going to be your home from now. I have already arranged a house for you," Lloyd said. They were standing in front of his cultivation palace.

Lloyd was extremely excited right now, since he had found an excellent and extraordinary genius for the Five-element Sect; a genius who was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. Such a talented cultivator was sure to lead to the rise of their sect.
