Ricky didn't expect that anyone would come for him here, so the voice immediately made him wary, and his instinctive reaction to the voice was even more perplexing. It made him shake in anger, and his killing intent abruptly surged the moment that he heard it.
That was strange, especially knowing that he didn't even know who it was yet.
"Who is it? Did the Short Human tribe send someone after you?" Mordechai asked, looking as confused as Ricky was.
His guess made sense because only members from the Short Human tribe would have the guts to confront Ricky like this while he was in the Misty South Palace's territory.
Wasting no more time, Ricky and his companions quickly came out. The square meant for the Ranking List was packed with people by the time they reached there. The one hundred strongest disciples on the Ranking List gathered once again.
While this was going on, several powerful auras emerged from deep in the void. They didn't seem to be saints, but some were undoubtedly demi-saints, and they were probably misters who didn't go out to train.
All the crowd's eyes were focused on the sky, where two figures hovered in the air.
Based on their auras, they hadn't reached the Sage Level, although the scorching auras they emitted still reigned supreme. They seemed to be flame experts, born with supreme power.
The superior auras they sported contributed to the two's arrogance, and they believed they could defeat all the talents in the Misty South Palace.
When Ricky saw these two figures, only one thing penetrated his mind—anger.
And his anger gave birth to many things: killing intent, gloom, ferocity, and all kinds of negative emotions.
'Lanny Feng Steve Feng!'
Ricky spat those two names in his head like a curse.
Lanny Feng was the Phoenix tribe's noble son and one of the strongest talents in the Misty South. He was a genius as famous as Mister Ryker and the Second Mister in the Misty South Palace.
It was the same man who had tried to kill Ricky and taken his woman away.
The other person went under the name of Steve Feng. He would have been killed by Ricky if it weren't for the Shura Casket.
"That's Lanny Feng, the noble son of the Phoenix tribe! Did he come all the way here just to find fault with Ricky?"
Seeing this spectacle, the disciples of the Misty South Palace gossiped among themselves once again.
"Yeah, look at his face! That could only be Lanny, the strongest genius in the Misty South."
"This is bad. How do we deal with this? Mister Ryker and the Second Mister are not here, and I doubt the other disciples can handle Lanny."
While the others were whispering around them, Lanny and Steve stared at Ricky.
Just like Ricky, there was nothing in Steve's heart but hatred for Ricky and endless killing intent, for he had recovered his memory of the past.
On the other hand, Lanny looked impassive at first glance, although a closer look revealed the killing intent and doubt in his eyes. He was sure he had killed Ricky back then, so it perplexed him to see Ricky here, alive and well. Worse, he seemed to have improved so much.
"Well, Ricky, do you still remember me?" Steve asked with an icy glare.
"Have you regained your memory?"
Ricky asked back, sounding equally glacial.
"Of course I have, though you probably don't get it. How can a commoner like you understand how it is to be one of the Phoenix tribe's most powerful warriors?"
answered Steve.
"Brat, this is bad! The Phoenix tribe must suspect you of having Eli's inheritance. Another disturbance will take over the Misty South, and more people will come after you,"
the Dragon Intent Grass surmised.
"I don't think so. The Phoenix tribe is too greedy to spread news like that. And if they tell the others about the Shura Casket, they won't be able to monopolize it anymore,"
Ricky disagreed, his forehead furrowed in thought.
"Well, it looks like you still have your wits about you even with Lanny here. I'm glad to hear that!"
sighed the Dragon Intent Grass upon hearing Ricky's thoughts.
Since it could feel the negative emotions in Ricky's heart, it was afraid that Ricky's hatred towards Lanny would get the best of him. Perhaps it said all these things to test if Ricky was still thinking straight.
"Don't worry, Dragon Intent Grass. I've grown more mature emotionally, so I can promise you I'll stay rational no matter how angry I get,"
