It was not long before Fike left the palace with Romon’s sword.

After seeing him back safe and sound, Xiao Zhao gazed at him in disbelief.

“I didn’t expect you to be so capable! Not only did you come back so quickly, you came back intact as well!

“How is it inside? Is it spectacular?”

Hearing Xiao Zhao’s question, Fike shook his head.

“This Donta tribe’s palace doesn’t seem to be any special. It’s not as lavish as you think!”

Xiao Zhao pouted as she heard Fike’s perfunctory answer.

“Really? Why don’t I believe you?”

As he spoke, Fike noticed Sano walk out of the palace with his personal attendant.

Spotting that someone was looking at him, Sano also glanced at Fike before smiling contemptuously and walking away.

“That person is really too arrogant!”

Xiao Zhao complained.

Fike nodded and responded with a smile.

“Let him be happy for a few more days. He soon won’t be able to enjoy these days of adoration by tens of thousands of people anymore.”

After saying that, Fike pulled Xiao Zhao over to the street where they had met Rowei and Romon yesterday.

Only now did Xiao Zhao notice the sword in Fike’s hand.

“What?” Xiao Zhao asked in surprise.

“Did you sneak into Sakir’s room to steal it?”

Fike nodded.

“What’s wrong with that?”

“You… You didn’t kill him, right?”

“It’s not worth it. Did he ever provoke me? Why would I kill him? I’m just returning a stolen item back to its owner.”

Xiao Zhao agreed with his sentiment.

The two of them walked and soon arrived at the street, where they saw Rowei and Romon chatting idly.

When he saw Fike, Rowei shouted excitedly.

“Big Brother Fike, why are you here?”

Fike smiled as he walked toward the two brothers.

“I’ll be leaving soon. You two should be leaving in a few days as well.”

Romon nodded in response.

“Actually, the two of us were planning to go and say goodbye to you later.”

“Oh! Is that so?”

Fike said.

“By the way, do you remember that I promised you I would give you something before I left?”

Rowei and Romon looked at each other.

“You’re too kind, Brother Fike!”

Fike took out the sword from his waist.

“Look, what do you think this is?”

“Romon, isn’t that your sword?”

Rowei said excitedly.

Romon took the sword from Fike and asked.

“Big Brother Fike, did you sneak into the palace? Did you take it from Sakir?”

Fike nodded.

Romon continued.

“You’re so capable! The outer walls of the palace can’t be scaled by ordinary people. How did you do it?”

Fike responded calmly after hearing the boy’s praise.

“It didn’t take much effort. It was actually quite easy!”

After hearing this, Rowei addressed Fike as well.

“Big Brother Fike, since you are so powerful, why don’t you join us, and the three of us can be the brothers who overthrew the rule of the three outdated tribes!”

Fike shook his head.

“That is your destiny. It won’t be convenient for me to participate. Moreover, I still have unfinished business I need to complete.

“However, I am very supportive of your plans!”

After listening, Romon said to Rowei.

“Big Brother Fike must have his own ideas. It’d be better for us not to make things difficult for him.”

Romon once again turned his gaze back to Fike as he said to him.

“But I still have to thank you for bringing my treasured sword back to me!”

Fike waved his hand.

“Ah, you’re welcome!”

Xiao Zhao looked at Rowei and Romon.

“In that case, we’ll be leaving!”

Rowei had a bittersweet look as he turned to Fike.

“Then, Big Brother Fike, we’ll meet again above the mountains and rivers! See you in the future! Bye!”

After exchanging a few simple words with the brothers, Rowei and Romon, Fike and Xiao Zhao made their way to the city gates, leaving the main hub of the Donta tribe behind.

After walking out of the gates, Xiao Zhao said to Fike.

“My trip down the mountain has come to an end! Now, follow me back to the East Immortal Sect! I’ll bring you to see the second elder!

“You can ask him about that original god.”

Fike nodded.

“Then do you know which direction we should go?”

Xiao Zhao smiled awkwardly as she replied, hesitant.

“Uh… keep going east! We’ll reach it eventually after walking!”

Fike looked at Xiao Zhao helplessly.

“I think we should return to the grassland from the day we met. You should be able to recall the route once we get there, right?”

Xiao Zhao nodded earnestly in response.

“That’s right! Let’s set off now!”

Fike traced back the route according to his memory.

‘Three thousand years into the future, this would be the Royal City of Romon. The location of that grassland is… to the east of the Royal City of Romon… It’s… Eh!

‘Isn’t… isn’t that the Imperial Capital of Rowei then?

‘Why was Rowei still a grassland three thousand years ago?’

Fike wondered in his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Zhao was already walking in front of him. She turned around and urged Fike onward.

“What are you thinking about? Come quickly!”

Fike hurriedly walked forward. He seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Xiao Zhao.

“Xiao Zhao, when you came from the Eastern Immortal Sect to the grassland, did you pass through a desert?”

Xiao Zhao replied without hesitation.

“Where would a desert come from? I’ve never seen a desert on my whole way here!”

Fike thought about it more after hearing this.

‘She’s right. The great desert should have been a grassland 3,000 years ago. Maybe…’

Still pondering this, he followed Xiao Zhao to the east.

‘Hmm… Speaking of which, is Fu Shou village still there?’

…

The pair walked east for half a day. Soon, a huge encampment area appeared in front of them.

Fike noticed a huge sign hanging on the iron fence in front of the camp, with the words ‘Fu Shou Camp’ written on it.

In confusion, Fike asked in his heart.

‘Hidden message! Hidden Message! Didn’t I ask you to recommend the nearest village or town? Why didn’t you just bring me here directly? Instead, you brought me to Gufa Town, taking such a long detour!”
