Chapter 339 - The Journey Begins Again
Chapter 339: The Journey Begins Again
“Young miss, birth, old age, illness, and death are inevitable. Don’t be too sad.”
Ever since she returned to the residence, Wei Zihan’s eyes had been red and her expression was dejected.
From today onwards, she would be a complete loner. Her father and mother had passed away one after another. Uncle Zhang had sacrificed himself for her, and even her siblings had been killed. Now, she had become a completely lonely person.
“Young master, it’s only the city lord position. Why is there a need to commit so many murders? If I can let my father live, I’d rather not be the city lord.”
“The city lord’s death was already an inescapable conclusion. Whether or not you become the city lord, the city lord’s death is inevitable. However, this is more of the reason for you to cheer up. Now, everyone’s eyes are on you. Everything that happened today can not be hidden. You have to think of an excuse to publicize it to the public.”
“What should I say?”
“The Central Plains Sect Alliance coveted the treasures of White Dragon City and gathered a large number of experts to attack White Dragon City. City Lord Wei Heng gathered his men and fought with all his might. Although he defeated the Central Plains Sect Alliance, he had also exhausted his strength and passed.
“As for the other young masters and young miss, they also participated in this battle and colluded with the Central Plains Sect Alliance. The city lord gave the order to behead them.
“At this point, we can only do this.”
“Young miss.”
Victor turned around and looked at Wei Zihan, he said, “Now that you have become the city lord, there are some things that must be resolved through your own methods. Your subordinates, Tie Zhan, Ren Pingsheng, and Feng Sidao, are all people who have followed you from the very beginning. You can trust them, but you can’t trust them completely. Once you discover that they have the intention to rebel, immediately inform Chang An.
“As for the other nine nascent soul realm cultivators, they are your father’s helpers. They will stay in White Dragon City to help you for the next ten years. However, once the ten years are up, they will naturally choose to leave.
“Therefore, during these ten years of absolute safety, you must try your best to cultivate your own forces. You can follow the city lord’s example and hold a martial arts competition to recruit talents. Of course, you can do it more often. You can do it every two or three years.”
“Young master, what about you?”
Victor had said so much, but he did not mention himself. No matter how stupid Wei Zihan was, she understood that Victor was leaving.
“I naturally have my own plans, miss. It’s better to leave each other than suffer through hardships together. During the time I have stayed in White Dragon City, I can’t deny that I am very satisfied, but my ambition is far more than this. Indeed, if I stay in White Dragon City, my path to the nascent soul realm will be extremely smooth, but if that happens, I will stop here. Moreover, I have made agreements with other people. I must go to the Southern Plains and the Northern Plains.”
Victor patted Wei Zihan on the shoulder and continued, “Don’t be too sad. Maybe one day, we will meet again. When that time comes, I will give you a satisfactory answer.
“In addition, there are three brocade sacks here. After I leave, you can open this one. These are some ideas that I have given to you so that you can better manage White Dragon City. As for the second one, if …if White Dragon City encounters something that even the nine nascent soul stage cultivators can’t solve, you can open it. It will tell you where to look for a person.
“If the second brocade sack doesn’t work, then the third brocade sack will be a way to contact me.”
Victor had done his best. A piece of Thousand-year Mystic Ice exchanged for his duty of helping Wei Zihan become the city lord and giving her advice. If she wanted Victor to stay, Wei Zihan would have to pay more.
However, it was obvious that there was nothing that could attract Victor anymore.
So, it was time to leave.
Victor cupped his hands and bowed. He showed no reluctance as he turned around to leave White Dragon City.
Although it was slightly different from Victor’s expectations, he only used less than three months to leave White Dragon City, but he had received a lot of goods.
Among the 72 ultimate skills of Buddhism, Victor had secretly learned a few moves, and there was also the Thousand-year Mystic Ice, which could further temper the body. These were treasures that could not be exchanged regardless of how many other treasures there were.
Opening the Small World, Victor brought Lian Hua out and said, “It’s over. We can leave now.”
“So fast? Didn’t you say that it would take at least a month?”
“The Central Plains Sect Alliance has taken action in advance. Wei Heng has also found nine cultivators at the completion stage of the nascent soul realm to help. Now that the situation in White Dragon City has stabilized, we can leave.”
Victor explained while handing the zither in his arms to Lian Hua.
“Little girl, your fingers are getting calloused. From now on, play some music on your zither.”
“Tsk, don’t think that small favors like this will move me.”
Lian Hua did not seem to mind, but she still carefully put away her zither.
“So, where are we going next?”
“To the Fire Sect. There are still some unresolved matters between me and them.
“However, before that, I might have to enter the Small World to enter closed-door cultivation. I’m not sure how long it will take. Do you want to stay outside or stay with me in the Small World?”
“I don’t want to stay with you. However, I’m a weak woman. It’s too dangerous for me to stay outside. I’d better go to the Small World.”
Lian Hua explained with a red face, but the more she explained, the darker it became.
Seeing this scene, Victor chuckled and waved his hand. The two of them entered the Small World again.
In fact, Victor could have stayed in White Dragon City and refined the Thousand-year Mystic Ice before leaving. However, now that the sword spirit was in a deep sleep, Victor did not know what would happen after refining the Thousand-year Mystic Ice. He had no choice but to do it in his Small World.
In order not to expose the existence of the Small World, he had to leave.
Coming to the Small World, Victor took out the Thousand-year Mystic Ice and placed it across his chest. Using the method of refining the true phoenix blood essence, he guided his qi and communicated with the Thousand-year Mystic Ice.
However, with just a touch, Victor’s qi was instantly frozen and shattered into powder!
“Damn…”
Victor slowly opened his eyes and stared at the Thousand-year Mystic Ice in front of him with difficulty.
Without the help of the sword spirit, it was indeed quite difficult to accomplish this alone.
However, ever since that incident, the sword spirit had never contacted Victor again, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him.
After all, the sword intent that had been nurtured for three years had been squandered by Victor in one go. Anyone would be upset.
In order to nurture the sword intent, the sword spirit chose to sleep. Moreover, before it slept, it asked Victor to go to the Northern Plains in the future and find a good sword embryo for it from the Sword Cleaning Pond. Victor could not refuse.
With that, Victor had another reason to go to the Northern Plains.
“It’s just that… I can’t even refine the ice in front of me. It’s easier said than done to travel to the Northern Plains…”
Victor laughed bitterly. He grabbed the Thousand-year Mystic Ice and walked out of the wooden house.
“Lian Hua, do me a favor.”
