The legendary warrior

Chapter 1434 Looking Into Xenia

"The Legendary Beast Tomb seems a good choice since I lack the legendary beasts' blood essence. Although I have the Chaos blood power, it's still too weak since I have only managed to wake less than half. I'm no match for geniuses who descended from legendary beasts in terms of blood power. That is my weakness. But if I get my hands on some blood essence from legendary beasts, I can awaken half of my Chaos blood power. Only then can I be on par with any genius,"

Ricky admitted to the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora.

"Well, the Legendary Beast Tomb is an excellent place for you to improve yourself. Your bright ancestral spirit and your Chaos blood power will help you unleash the full power of your Ancestral Intent Formula. And if you awaken more of your Chaos blood power, your progress will be unimaginable!" said the Dragon Intent Grass enthusiastically.

With that conversation done, Ricky nodded at Leilani and said, "Okay. I'll come with you to the Legendary Beast Tomb. I don't want to miss the blood essence of the legendary beasts there."

"Great! Thank you, Ricky!" Leilani thanked him profusely.

She fully expected to encounter fierce competition in the Legendary Beast Tomb, and she was afraid that she wouldn't fare well. However, now that she had Ricky on her side, everything would surely go smoothly.

Mordechai decided to go with Ricky as well. He had spent a lot of time cultivating, and he figured that it was about time he put it into practice. This way, he would see how much he improved and could hone his skills more.

Claire joined them as well, saying that she would go to keep an eye on Ricky for Tina, just in case that he tried to hook up with other girls.

Together, the group embarked on their journey.

The Evil Mandragora also traveled with them in person, as she had come out of the Divine Manor under Ricky's request.

Ricky also allowed her to take the Holy Three-Saber's Divine Manor with her. Since she spent a long time bathing in divine power, Ricky believed the others wouldn't sense her evil spirit. In case that failed, he also used his bright ancestral spirit on her.

With all these safeguards in place, only powerful saints would be able to detect that she had the evil spirit.

Amelia had long known about the Evil Mandragora's existence. However, she was still taken by surprise by the Evil Mandragora's elegant and bewitching aura.

Similarly, Claire also knew about the Evil Mandragora. She had thoroughly investigated Ricky back when she was in the Wind-Mountain Alliance, and nothing much escaped her knowledge.

In contrast, Leilani was shocked at the sight of the Evil Mandragora. And she couldn't help but think that the latter had the best temperament she had ever seen.

'This guy is always hounded by the hottest girls, ' Mordechai mused silently as he gazed at the girls who were revolving around Ricky like he was the sun.

The Legendary Beast Region was thousands of miles away from the Misty South Palace. It would take them about a month to get there even if they traveled on an airship moving at its peak speed.

"One more thing, Ricky. You should know that the Great Phoenix tribe dwells in the Legendary Beast Region," the Dragon Intent Grass reminded.

"Yeah, I heard about that." Ricky nodded with a grave expression.

"That means the Legendary Beast Region is even more dangerous for you compared to other warriors. I'm sure the Great Phoenix tribe will not miss any chance to take you out," continued the Dragon Intent Grass sternly.

"You're right, but I'm not deterred. I know that danger will only help me progress faster," Ricky answered with great confidence. "Besides, I want to know the situation of the Great Phoenix tribe, Grace in particular."

Along the way, Ricky didn't waste time and continued his cultivation.

He focused on honing his casting skills.

At the same time, he activated the Shadowy Emperor Replication and created a replica, which he left on the airship before he went into the Massacring Zone.

A casting master of Sage Level's legitimacy fully depended on whether he could make sacred weapons or not. If he couldn't cast sacred weapons, he would be a casting master of Sage Level by name only. It wouldn't matter even if his level reached the Sage Level, or if he had turned all his runes into holy runes.

Moreover, once a Sage Level casting master managed to make sacred weapons, the power of their holy runes would exponentially improve, and only then could he maximize his fighting power.

Ricky also conversed with Leilani through telepathy. He asked the question that plagued him since they met for the first time.

It was about that beautiful girl who lived rent-free in his mind.

Despite himself, Ricky saw her in Leilani. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Perhaps, it was because Leilani exuded the aura of a fox, and it reminded him of that charming girl.

Ricky was not a person who would run away from problems.

He couldn't get her out of his mind. Thus, he decided to face this matter head-on.

"Leilani, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. It's about someone..." Ricky started reluctantly.

"What is it?" replied Leilani curiously. She didn't think that her circle would have someone connected to Ricky. After all, they had only met twice so far.

"Do you know a girl named Xenia Wang?" Ricky blurted out.

"Xenia? Do you know her?" A surprised look flashed quickly across Leilani's face.

She knew about Xenia. And she was even more astonished that Ricky knew that woman. Of course, her face remained impassive, and she made sure not to show how surprised she was.

"From your reaction, it looks like that you know her," Ricky surmised. "She is an old friend of mine."

Although he spoke calmly and his face appeared indifferent, his heart was a different story.

"Oh, I see. She is an old friend of yours, huh?" Leilani repeated.

"Can you tell me something about her? How is she doing?" Ricky asked one after another, which pulled an intrigued look from Leilani.

"It seems like she is more than an old friend to you." She spoke teasingly.

"Only a few people know Xenia. Only the senior members from the Seven-tailed, Eight-tailed, or Nine- tailed Fox tribes, plus a handful of core disciples know her.

Unfortunately, I know very little of her.

All I know is that she is human, but pure Nine-tailed Fox blood power flows in her veins. The Nine-tailed Fox's blood power she has is quite strong.

A few years ago, an elder from the Nine-tailed Fox tribe brought her back and invested a lot of his resources to help her improve. That elder recently took her to the depths of our ancestral land, where the elder intended to help her evolve into a real fox.

"A real fox... Can she turn into a Nine-tailed Fox?" Ricky murmured to himself.

It was only at this moment that he understood why tails were stretching out from her back the last time he saw Xenia. He figured that those tails belonged to the Nine-tailed Fox.

He also understood why Xenia told him they belonged to different worlds.

That was the reason they broke up, even if they were in love.

She was convinced that if they didn't cut each other loose, they would only hold each other back.

'Maybe you were right, Xenia... But I'm sure even you would be surprised at what I have achieved. I'm no longer a nobody in the Misty South, ' Ricky thought to himself.

At this point, he felt torn. He loved and hated Xenia, and he didn't know which feeling won over the other.

"No official statements have been made, but I believe Xenia will become the noble daughter of our tribe once she completes her transformation. By the way, since you seem to know her quite well, do you know why she possesses such pure Nine-tailed Fox's blood power even though she is just human? Many senior members in our tribe are curious about that, and so am I.

If you know anything, won't you tell me? I swear I'll keep it to myself,"

Leilani begged insistently.

"Leilani, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know either. We are just friends. I only asked you because you reminded me of her, and perhaps, that's because you share the same blood," responded Ricky.

"Oh, I see..." Leilani muttered with a little disappointment.

Before long, they finally arrived in the Legendary Beast Region.
