"I see..." Dale responded, a little disappointed with Ricky's answer.
"Well, I'm leaving now. I hope the trivial misunderstandings between us won't cause us to be enemies," Ricky said with a smile.
"Of course not!" Dale and Cassidy both replied at once, with much vehemence that made Ricky smile.
After a final farewell, Ricky left.
"If he can defeat the people from the Sky-breaking Dome, he is bound to become the king of the whole Western Land. He is talented, powerful, and has the temperament to rule the world," Dale uttered reverently, as she stared at Ricky's receding back.
"So we should make good friends with him," Cassidy added, nodding her head.
"No matter what, we can't offend him! I think that we should help him if he needs our help, simply because of what he did today. He also gave the ruling compass back to you, right?" Dale told Cassidy, as she finally turned her eyes away from Ricky.
Meanwhile, Ricky was walking away with his head in the clouds, planning his next step. "Soar, Autelan, and others must have come here too, but I don't know where they are at the moment," he muttered lightly.
The Dragon Intent Grass, who had been listening to him quietly, replied, "You have Heaven Slaughtering Fire and Heaven Melting Fire with you, don't you? You can use them to get a feel of their location."
With that reminder, Ricky began to use the two kinds of sacred fire to feel. However, he did all these in the form of his Shadowy Replication as his real body was already in the Massacring Zone.
The information of the blood essence pill and the Sky-devouring Strikes appeared in front of his eyes in the Massacring Zone.
"Good move! You've learned to use your Shadowy Replication to look for them, so your real body can concentrate on cultivation at the same time. In this way, time won't be wasted. I just wonder how you got the cultivation method of the Shadowy Emperor Replication. After all, this cultivation method should not be revealed to anyone except the core figures of the Endless Shadow. And it is said that only a creature with the potential of being a killer can cultivate this cultivation method successfully,"
the Dragon Intent Grass said, sounding pleased.
"I guess you can say that I got it by accident," Ricky said with a smile, and then told the Dragon Intent Grass how he got the cultivation method of the Shadowy Emperor Replication.
"Is that so? That sounds so peculiar!" the Dragon Intent Grass remarked in a low voice.
"Dragon Intent Grass, what do you know about the Endless Shadow on the four continents?" Ricky asked curiously before it could ask any more questions.
"I don't really know that much. I do know that they are killers, and the Endless Shadow was founded by their patriarch—Sullivan. Although I used to live in the Dragon tribe, I had not heard much about him," replied the grass.
While Ricky's real body was cultivating in the Massacring Zone, his Shadowy Replication used the two kinds of sacred fire to sense the direction in which he had invisible sensation. During the process of search, he deliberately avoided the warriors who were looking for the ruling spirits and the Emperor Light.
Many warriors also tried their best to avoid him. They turned away as soon as they saw him from afar.
That was because they had already heard about the battle between Ricky and the Holy King.
After that battle, it had become common knowledge that the young man with white hair was Ricky, someone they couldn't afford to provoke.
After half a day's search, Ricky was stopped by a man in black. Ricky felt that something was off with this man, and even though he could not sense any strong power from him, he could not help but be wary of the strange man.
The man in black looked like a killer, but he also felt somewhat different. A killer felt like a viper hiding in the dark, but this man in black didn't feel like that at all. If anything, he felt like a predator.
The man in black might not be a killer, but the dangerous aura from his body reminded Ricky of a cold-blooded murderer.
"Why did you stop me?" Ricky asked lightly.
"I'm just following orders. I am here to tell you something, Mister Kenney," the man in black replied. Based on his stoic voice, it was difficult to tell whether he was a young man, a middle-aged man, or an old man.
"You're just following orders? Then tell me, by whose order is it that you are doing this?" Ricky asked and his voice sounded casual, but his body was coiled tight and ready for a fight.
"Besides, you are hiding beneath those black clothes. Don't you think it's inappropriate to hide your real appearance from me?"
