Everyone seemed to have fallen into a trance-like state and couldn't move their gazes away from Lilly's face.
Whoosh!
Just then, a few figures came flying to the gathering plaza. Leading them was a handsome, silver-haired young man in white robes. He didn't look more than 20 years old. However, from the fact that he could on his own, one could tell he was at least a five-star mage.
After landing on the plaza, he swept everyone with his emotionless gaze and shook his head, saying, "It seems I came too early. None of the stronger people have come yet."
When some of the surrounding disciples heard him, although they felt displeased, they didn't say anything because they knew this guy had the capital to be this arrogant.
However, a strong-looking man who looked to be around thirty years old didn't know who this silver-haired youth was. When he heard him, he sneered and said to the person beside him in a low voice, "Who is this arrogant prick? He is just a high-stage five-star mage but isn't putting us peak five-stars in his eyes."
Shua!
As soon as these words left his mouth, a chilling aura descended upon him, almost forcing him to his knees.
The man shivered and when he looked at the source of the aura; he revealed a shocked expression because this aura belonged to the silver-haired youth.
'This… how can he suppress me with his aura when he is weaker than me?' He thought.
Swoosh!
The people around him immediately retreated, fearfully looking at the silver-haired youth.
Silver-haired youth looked at the man being suppressed by his aura and said in a cold tone, "Can you repeat what you just said?"
The man felt humiliated. Gritting his teeth, he released his aura.
Boom!
Their auras clashed, and his suppression on him was instantly lifted.
He glared at the silver-haired youth, gravely asking, "Who are you?"
The silver-haired youth squinted his eyes. As he did so, the man felt an even more horrifying pressure descended on him and forced him to his knees.
Thud!
The floor under his knees cracked and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.
When the surrounding disciples felt the sudden increase in the silver-haired youth's aura, their eyes widened.
"This… just who is he? His aura is almost as strong as an early-stage king mage's aura." Someone wondered in shock.
A disciple standing by his side looked at him as if he was some idiot and asked, "You really don't know who he is?"
"No. I'm always either on missions outside or cultivating on my peak. So, I don't know many people from the mountain." The former disciple explained before asking, "Is he someone famous?"
"Of course. He is famous. He is the rising star of the Dawn faction." The disciple said, his eyes revealing traces of fearful respect.
The Dawn faction was one of the three leading factions of the Ice sovereign mountain. Two of the current nine supreme elders that oversaw all the matters related to the mountain came from the Dawn faction.
"What? He is that fearsome guy who recently fought the Flame valley's King ranked core disciple, Aaron, and came out unscathed?" The former disciple asked, shocked. Although he didn't interact much with the people on the mountain, he was still aware of the latest matters.
"Yes. He is the one."
When the man being suppressed by the silver-haired youth's aura heard this, his heart skipped a beat and back was drenched in sweat even though the temperature of the mountain was always very low.
Just as he wanted to apologize, a voice sounded from the sky.
"Tsk! Tsk! The famous silver monster is trying to assert his dominance over ordinary disciples? How shameful!"
"Hm?"
Everyone raised their head to see who it was that dared to provoke the silver-haired youth.
Whoosh!
In the distant sky, a young man in black clothes with white stripes was slowly drifting over. His hands clasped behind his back. Several other people in the similar robes were following behind him.
"They are from the Black Ice hall. Things will get interesting now." Someone commented in a low voice.
"Why is that?" The disciple who was clueless about the silver-haired youth's identity asked when he heard this.
"You should pay attention to mountain's matter a little more." The disciple standing beside him shook his head before saying, "The Black Ice hall is also one of the three leading factions of our Ice sovereign mountain. The people of the black ice hall and Dawn faction don't get along. Almost every time they meet, things escalate to fight."
"Most importantly, this silver-haired youth, Oliver, and this guy from the black ice hall, Lucas, are the rising stars of their respective factions. As they say, when two kings of rival nations meet, things will get chaotic and that's what people here like to watch."
"I see."
…
Oliver, the silver-haired youth, raised his head to look at Lucas and asked coldly, "You've a problem with that?"
When the surrounding people heard this, they looked at Lucas expectantly.
The smile on Lucas' face gradually faded, but just as he was about to retort, one of the people behind him whispered something to him.
Hearing what he said, Lucas' eyes brightened, and he turned his head to look at the back of the plaza. He then chuckled at Oliver and shook his head. "Nope. I don't have any problem. You can continue to play."
Whoosh!
Saying this, he flew toward the back of the plaza.
When Oliver saw this, he followed his gaze and noticed Lilly. His emotionless eyes lit up, and he understood why Lucas didn't bother him this time.
Whoosh!
Immediately, he also flew in the air and followed Lucas.
The man who was being supressed heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Oliver's departing figure, his eyes flashed with resentment.
…
Whoosh!
Lucas landed in front of Lilly and smiled. "Hello, miss Lilly. How have you been?"
When Lilly, who was talking with Little snow, heard someone call out to her, she raised her head to look who it was.
Just then, Oliver also landed in front of her and shoved Lucas to the side before smilingly greeting her, "Hello, junior sister. It's nice seeing you."
Seeing the duo, Lilly's shapely brows knitted together. She then said, "Hello sirs. Please forgive me, but I'm not in the mood to talk. Can you give me some space?"
