“It’s not certain who will kill who yet!” The Master seemed unconcerned.

Jiang Ming couldn’t help but laugh: “Master, I’ll leave the matters above to you, I’ll go around and visit different places!”

“Go ahead, just don’t die!” The Master seemed quite at ease.

Jiang Ming cupped his hands in salute, nodded at Li Manman, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

As for confronting the Guizhang Emperor?

There was no hurry, no hurry.

It wouldn’t be too late to wait until he stepped into the Eight Realms.

By then, it would be more secure.

“What a remarkable person!” Watching Jiang Ming disappear, Li Manman couldn’t help but sigh. She glanced up at the sky with a worried look and flashed into Cotton City, ready to begin her killing spree.

Jiang Ming traveled the land using the technique of instant teleportation. Each time he didn’t go too far, but his speed was very fast. He stopped when he sensed a familiar breath.

The next moment, he appeared on the top of a peak. There were two women beside him: one in a red dress like fire, who was drinking from a jug of wine in a daze; the other was a woman in white, elegant like snow, and with a vague, ethereal air, her entire being exuding a strong atmosphere of books.

“Ye Hongyu.” Jiang Ming looked at the woman in the red dress.

“Brother Jiang!” Ye Hongyu’s body stiffened and she turned to look at him with great joy. Then her face darkened, and tears welled up in her eyes as she leaped toward his embrace.

She sobbed.

All her grievances flowed out.

Jiang Ming patted her shoulder and glanced at the woman in white, who was looking at him curiously.

The woman was quite beautiful.

She was as simple and elegant as a chrysanthemum and seemed detached from the world.

After a long time, Ye Hongyu finally calmed down, left Jiang Ming’s embrace, and blushed. “What’s wrong?” Jiang Ming asked nonchalantly.

“The entire Haotian Sect’s Gate of the hill was destroyed,” Ye Hongyu said in a low voice, her mood sinking again. “Everyone died. My elder brother died, our pet died, the guardian of the mountain died, even the chief law enforcer was killed. They were all killed by an octopus monster, who called himself Guizhang Second Emperor. Even the Grandmaster was severely injured.” “Ah…” Jiang Ming sighed lightly. “Misfortune has befallen the world, and countless people suffer. But the Guizhang Second Emperor has already been killed by me, so I’ve avenged you.”

“Killed by you?” Ye Hongyu was astonished.

Although she hadn’t personally seen the power of the Guizhang Second Emperor, she could infer his incredible strength from the destroyed gate and the Grandmaster’s severe injuries.

Jiang Ming nodded: “He was entangled with Great Master Li Manman in Cotton City. When I got there, I joined forces with him and killed the Guizhang Second Emperor.”

“Well done!” Ye Hongyu revealed a hateful expression, and then her eyes became lost.

Before, she had family, ambition, and a fun, hopeful life.

Then the Gate of the hill was destroyed, her family was killed, and her heart became full of hatred, focused on revenge. But now that her enemy was dead, her heart suddenly felt empty.

“Brother Jiang, there is no place for me in this vast world,” Ye Hongyu sighed, then mustered up her spirits and laughed bitterly.

“Why is there no place for you? What about Tianwu Manor?” Jiang Ming said. “Not long ago, we were all cultivating at Xuankong Temple. Once that phase ended, we agreed to roam the world, hone our martial art while killing the foreign race, and eventually gather at Tianwu Manor. You are our good friend, our companion, and that place is your home.”

“Home?” Ye Hongyu was in a daze, and then a smile blossomed on her face like a begonia. “Yes, I still have all of you. Brother Jiang, let me introduce you: this is Mo Shanshan, a bookworm. I used to be a Dao maniac. Shanshan, this is Jiang Ming, whom I’ve mentioned to you before.”

“Miss Mo!” Jiang Ming nodded his head in greeting.

“Mr. Jiang!” Mo Shanshan’s voice was soft and gentle.

She stared at Jiang Ming curiously, wondering how this man of imposing stature, who didn’t appear to be very old, could have killed the Guizhang Second Emperor?

It was unbelievable.

The three of them sat down.

Jiang Ming learned that Mo Shanshan’s kingdom had been destroyed by the foreign race, and she had narrowly escaped death. She wanted to go to Great Tang Dynasty’s Chang’an but had been forced to come here after being besieged by the foreign race and met Ye Hongyu.

After a long chat, Jiang Ming asked: “Miss Ye…”

“Calling me Miss Ye is too formal; just call me Hongyu.”

“Alright, Hongyu, is the Haotian Sect’s legacy still intact?”

“It is!” Ye Hongyu said. “Although the Gate of the hill was destroyed, the legacy still remains. I’ve sorted it out and placed it in a cave nearby. Hopefully, one day, the Haotian Sect will regain its former glory.”

“It will,” Jiang Ming said. “Can I take a look?”

“Of course, you can,” Ye Hongyu nodded. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see it. The world is in chaos, and perhaps the Nine Domains will be enslaved. If we cherish what’s left, it will only lead to self-destruction. Shanshan, you should come and see if there’s anything useful for you.”

Mo Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Soon, they arrived at the Books Collection cave.

The cave was large, with shelves carved directly into the walls, row upon row. It was clear that Ye Hongyu had put in a lot of effort.

Jiang Ming’s mind moved, and hundreds of books floated up in the air, turning pages rapidly without wind. This scene surprised Ye Hongyu and Mo Shanshan. “Reading books with supreme thoughts is faster,” Jiang Ming explained with a smile.

“If you had taken part in the previous imperial examination, you certainly would have become the champion,” Mo Shanshan smiled. “Can you remember all the books you read like this?”

“Yes,” Jiang Ming nodded. “My soul cultivation is still adequate, and everything I see enters the Sea of Heart.”

“Incredible!”

Both women were astonished.

From that day on, the two women and one man stayed together. Occasionally, they would go out to hunt wild beasts, light a bonfire, and chat and laugh together, feeling quite content..
