Jiang Hao looked up at the person in front of him and asked softly, “If you could be free, would you return to the Heavenly Note Sect?”
“Not for the time being.” Feng Wei shook his head. “I decided that I needed to be strong enough before going back. I at least want the people who harassed me to see me surpassing them. My ambitions are great, but my life is fragile.”
Regret was evident in his words.
Jiang Hao nodded.
Indeed, in the world of cultivation, there were many people with great ambitions, but those who survived were few.
Jiang Hao pointed a finger at Feng Wei.
In an instant, all the restrictions on him were shattered.
Then, he fainted.
With Feng Wei in tow, Jiang Hao led him to the formation. As soon as they
In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from their original spot.
When they reappeared, they were back in the previous mine.
Jiang Hao walked toward the exit. Not long after, he heard the sounds of a battle.
Soon after, a woman staggered in.
She seemed to be fleeing.
She had been attacked by various spells, and she breathed weakly.
Her time was running out.
Jiang Hao looked at her and felt that she was very familiar. She was one of the miners from before.
“I remember you. You are the one who called me the light of righteousness,” he said.
The woman looked up and saw Jiang Hao. She froze, and then she sat against the wall.
“So… you’re here,” she said with a bitter smile.
“What happened?” Jiang Hao asked as he approached.
“We need to escape,” the woman said.
“Why didn’t you run before?” Jiang Hao asked.
The woman looked at Jiang Hao. “Because we didn’t know there were good people left in this world. You made us feel different, so we wanted to help.” “Is that it?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes.” The woman leaned back. “But we failed. Sometimes, I feel like… if you were truly our leader, I feel I could have worked here for a lifetime.”
“I’m sorry,” Jiang Hao said.
“Do you think it’s because of your arrival that we’re in this situation?” asked the woman with emotion. “Don’t worry about it. We may seem pitiful, but we are wicked. At least, we used to be. We deserve to die a thousand deaths. It’s just…” Jiang Hao didn’t interrupt her. He listened attentively.
“It’s just that I’m a woman, after all, and sometimes I think that if a man were by my side to protect me from the wind and the rain when I was in despair, maybe I wouldn’t have become a despicable woman deserving of a thousand deaths.” The woman looked at Jiang Hao. “Or if I had met you earlier, I might have done better.”
Jiang Hao looked at the woman but didn’t say anything.
By the time she finished speaking, her breath had weakened. She fell silent.
Jiang Hao looked at her and then took her away with him.
It’s hard to say how long it took.
Feng Wei woke up from his slumber.
When he opened his eyes, he felt that the sunlight was blinding.
He shielded his eyes with his hand.
After a while, his eyes adapted to the light.
He looked around and saw that he was on a mountain peak. It was surrounded by nothing but wilderness.
“Where is this place?” Feng Wei was puzzled.
At that moment, he noticed something in his other hand.
He saw the Heaven Rejuvenating Pill.
“My pill?” Feng Wei was shocked and immediately started looking for Jiang Hao, but there was no sign of him.
“I’m out?” He found it hard to believe.
However, all signs indicated that he was free.
It seemed unbelievable, but deep down, he had hoped for it.
Feng Wei sighed. He still didn’t know who that person was.
That person must be a formidable senior from some sect who only wanted to see the Xuanyuan Sword.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to go near the Blackheaven Sect.
The Xuanyuan Sword was about to appear, and he wanted to see it.
Gui spent more than a day and finally found the entrance.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath.
“I’m so tired. I’ve worked so hard for Qiao Yi’s cultivation technique.”
Qiao Yi was not a member of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but she had a natural affinity with them.
She could practice their techniques.
So, Gui found the best technique to accelerate Qiao Yi’s cultivation speed.
With her resources, Qiao Yi’s advancement would be extremely fast.
Boom!
When the stone wall was finally broken through, a fiery light burst forth.
She had expected it to be hot and sudden, but it was unexpectedly soothing.
Considering that it had been sealed for so many years, it should have been scorching.
“It truly is where the Xuanyuan Sword is. This is extraordinary!”
Bi Zhu couldn’t help but exclaim, then she took a step inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw the bright sword at the center. Its aura was restrained, but it shone with a grandeur. “The Xuanyuan Sword?”
Seeing the divine artifact up close was strange.
In an instant, she snapped back to reality.
Now was not the time to admire the sword. She needed to set up the core of the Burning Immortal Formation.
She had a doubt the Xuanyuan Sword might have been contaminated. But it didn’t seem to be.
Soon, she reached the edge of the formation. When she glanced at it, she frowned in confusion.
“What’s going on? Is the formation complete? Could it be that there’s very little left to be replenished?”
She looked around. The more she looked, the more alarmed she became.
She found that not only had the formation been completed, but its power had also been fully restored.
The Burning Immortal Formation could be activated at any time.
“Did someone get here ahead of me? Maybe Xuanyuan Tai? That’s impossible!
Then, who else could it be from the Blackheaven Sect?”
Bi Zhu approached the central platform doubtfully to see if there were any other changes.
When she got there, she was stunned.
“Seven-Star Seal?”
The Seven-Star Seal was a seal Senior Dan Yuan had taught them. Only five people from the gathering knew about it. They were Senior Dan Yuan, Xing, Liu, Jing, and herself.
“It’s certainly not Senior Dan Yuan. Xing is in the eastern region. Liu is overseas, so…”
Bi Zhu unlocked the Seven-Star Seal and found a purple-colored bead inside.
It had black mist trapped inside, which she guessed was the mist that had tainted the sword.
“It’s Jing!”
Bi Zhu was moved. She had come all this way, while Jing had silently taken care of everything.
Why did he leave behind this mist for her?
‘Is he planning to exchange it with me for something else?’
After collecting the item, she carefullv insDected the Burning Immortal Formation and was shocked to discover that the things required to give the formation sufficient power were exceptionally unique.
She wouldn’t have time to find them and complete the formation.
“It is no wonder Jing seemed so busy. He was either dealing with monsters or divine artifacts.”
It would be strange if he wasn’t constantly busy.
After making sure everything was in order, Bi Zhu approached the Xuanyuan Sword.
“I wonder what it feels like to touch such a divine artifact.”
She was naturally curious about the Human Emperor’s sword.
Even though she couldn’t possess it, could she at least touch it? “Forgive me, but I have a small wish. I just want to touch it..”
