Linghu Gudu felt quite depressed. Naturally, he wanted to be with everyone, mainly because Immortal Lord Yu Hua was present.

The problem, however, was that over the years, he had confirmed that whenever he entered those ruins or secret realms, danger was inevitable.

Unless there was a supreme master present, like his own mentor.

Just like the Chaos Clan ruins they had just left, if it weren’t for his mentor, encountering the Seventh Prince of the Sky Clan would have been certain death.

There were several times before when he ventured into those ruins or secret realms, and the outcome was always the same.

There was even a time when the disciples of Four Treasures Peak were all in the Immortality Regainment Realm.

In the Immortality Regainment Realm, apart from their mentor, they virtually had no opponents.

Moreover, that time he went with Yan Yourong, the Second Senior Sister of the Ruo Yun ruins, and Ling Xi, the Senior Sister, into a secret realm they believed wasn’t particularly dangerous. Yet, they still encountered danger.

That time, they truly were nearly unable to return.

Thus, venturing into ruins was too dangerous for him.

Only by entering secret realms with his mentor would he feel reassured.

No, actually, there was another person who made him feel at ease, his Third Senior Brother Xiang Ziyu.

Although his Third Senior Brother always seemed unreliable and constantly claimed he was some kind of protagonist, making one suspect there was something wrong with his mind.

Yet, often, he genuinely suspected that his Third Senior Brother could be the so-called protagonist!

Even when he went out with his Third Senior Brother, they would encounter danger, but every time, they’d manage to turn crisis into opportunity.

Or rather, whenever he was with his Third Senior Brother, the danger would eventually shift onto his Third Senior Brother, and he himself would remain unharmed.

As for his Third Senior Brother...

In the words of their mentor, his Third Senior Brother’s luck was truly tough; no matter the danger, his Third Senior Brother would ultimately pull through.

His Third Senior Brother would even come back very excited every time.

Therefore, if his Third Senior Brother were present, he would naturally dare to enter the ruins.

But without his mentor or Third Senior Brother, entering with Sword Lord Yu Hua would instead endanger Sword Lord Yu Hua.

Linghu Gudu felt quite frustrated, realizing that avoiding the ruins was actually protecting Sword Lord Yu Hua, but this was something he couldn’t directly express.

Everyone, seeing his demeanor, naturally assumed he was afraid of danger and thus avoided going!

This...

Linghu Gudu scratched his head vigorously, unable to figure out how to explain it.

Beside him, another unfamiliar cultivator watched their actions, stunned. Didn’t they say they would visit the Great Luo Golden Immortal together, so why are they looking at that guy?

How could that person have any relation with the Great Luo Golden Immortal?

If they were to look at someone, it should be him instead.

Although he was currently a disciple of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was bound to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal eventually. No, as the protagonist, how could he merely become a Great Luo Golden Immortal? He was destined to become a saint!

It’s no wonder he didn’t recognize them; their judgment was undoubtedly flawed.

Beside them, Immortal Lord Yun Huo was no longer interested in Linghu Gudu. She turned to the unfamiliar cultivator and proactively asked, "Dao Companion, are you also heading to that ruin?"

"Naturally." Xiang Ziyu replied proudly, "That ruin is prepared for me, of course I must go."

Immortal Lord Yun Huo was stunned, having seen countless people throughout her long life, including overly confident individuals, yet never encountering someone this self-assured. How confident must he be to believe that the ruins were opened just for him!

Beside them, Linghu Gudu was also stunned, staring blankly at the unfamiliar cultivator. Why did his manner of speaking feel so familiar?

Immortal Lord Yun Huo hesitated momentarily; ordinarily, she would invite Human Clan Dao Companions to join her, but this person seemed far too unreliable.

Ultimately, she asked, "Do you know this Dao Companion’s level?"

"Me? I am the Greatest Yin Yang Immortal King of all time!" Xiang Ziyu declared with his head held high. "If you find it cumbersome, you may call me the Yin Yang Immortal King."

Xiang Ziyu!

Linghu Gudu finally realized why the person’s speech felt so familiar; without a doubt, this was his Third Senior Brother.

The alias Greatest Yin Yang Immortal King had been mentioned by his Third Senior Brother long ago at Four Treasures Peak.

It was said that back then, when it seemed their mentor hadn’t yet condensed his inner core, he frequently recounted stories of his past life’s world to the senior disciples.

According to his Third Senior Brother, their mentor had once told of an extremely powerful being revered as the Greatest Yin Yang Immortal King of all time in his era.

His Third Senior Brother commented that such a domineering title shouldn’t belong to that entity because he also cultivated Yin Yang Qi, and believed the title should be his.

Therefore, his Third Senior Brother used the title Greatest Yin Yang Immortal King when interacting with others.

With Third Senior Brother present, wouldn’t that ensure safety?

No, more precisely, with Third Senior Brother around, what was there to fear? All dangers would shift onto him.

Regarding his Third Senior Brother...

In his own words, he was the protagonist; others’ danger would be opportunity for him, and he just loved such dangers.
