Chapter 215 - Departure

After returning to their rooms, Ye Changge took the opportunity to sleep.

Ever since he started cultivating, he usually meditated and cultivated at night.

At dawn, after leaving the remaining gold and silver and one pill that could extend one’s life and strengthen one’s body to the maidservant, Ye Changge and Ning Manman set off for a place that was more than 100,000 miles away.

Neither of them intended to enter a mortal city on the way. Since gold and silver were useless to them, they might as well leave it to the maid so that she could live a good life in the mortal world.

The pills were the reward Ye Changge left for her.

He would not mistreat those who had helped him.

Ye Changge took Ning Manman and flew away on his sword.

Since the spiritual energy of the entire world was gathered there, there was naturally no need to continue conserving spiritual energy.

It would naturally recover wherever it went.

Along the way, Ning Manman was chattering away, talking about the past of this world.

The place they had just passed was a small sect called the Light Wind and Bright Moon Sect. Unfortunately, it had now become a bandit’s stronghold.

They passed by some ruins. In the past, where had there been a good treasure? The belongings of a few sects were scattered all over the ground. In the end, they were picked up by an itinerant cultivator who ran away.

They flew past the home of the founder of a large sect. That sect used to be famous everywhere. In the end, the disciples of several generations did not live up to their expectations. In the end, they declined and eventually died out.

As she continued to speak, Ning Manman’s words became less and less, and her cries gradually rose.

She missed home.

She could not go back.

Ye Changge stroked her head and did not speak.

At this time, words were the most powerless thing.

She could only learn to bear it.

Every strong person would lose a lot of things that were once precious to him along the way.

This was growth.

“Stop.”

Suddenly, Ning Manman said with a choked voice. She looked down and was born in a daze.

There was a cave there. It was pitch black.

Ye Changge did not know what there was to see, but he still stopped.

Ning Manman’s eyes were filled with anger, regret, sadness, joy, and finally calmness.

After a long time.

Ning Manman said, “Let’s go.”

Ye Changge continued to fly on his sword.

He did not ask what had happened there.

It was definitely something very big, something that could change her life.

“It’s there.”

Ning Manman suddenly said. Ye Changge was stunned. “Oh?”

“That’s the place. I represented the sect to participate in a trial for young disciples who didn’t care about life and death. In the end, when I was breaking through inside, I was invaded by extraterrestrial devils.

“I killed many people. All of them were important disciples of the various sects. Apart from the Freedom Palace’s disciples, I killed every single one of them.

“The other sects wanted Grandma to hand me over, but Grandma refused.

“They joined forces to attack our Freedom Palace, but they didn’t manage to do so even after several years.

“They went to Great Xia World to ask for help. They offered up the wonders of the Human Mountain World in exchange for their help.”

Ning Manman calmly recounted what had happened in her past. Her words were very calm, without anger or sadness.

It was as if it had nothing to do with her.

Ye Changge thought of what her grandmother had said and looked into Ning Manman’s eyes.

The raging fire in her left eye and the sadness in her right eye.

Inside and outside, one body, but extreme opposites.

Ye Changge gently picked her up. He said softly, “Each of them has to pay a price for what they did.”

Ning Manman looked up, and Ye Changge also looked into her eyes. “I promise!”

“Okay!”

“So, Manman, after you’re done, you can be my disciple.”

“Okay!”

“Your older brothers and sisters are all very good people. It’ll feel like you’re at home.”

She said nothing.

“With me here, the sect won’t collapse, and nothing will happen to our family.”

“Then what if you’re not here?”

“Then the entire world will definitely be gone, and you won’t be there anymore anyway.”

“That’s good.”

Ning Manman stretched out her right hand. Her index, middle, and ring fingers clenched into fists. Her little finger and thumb curved slightly. “Pinky swear.”

Ye Changge also smiled. “Okay, pinky swear. One, two, three. Pinky swear. No changes for a hundred years.”

“Let’s start again! A hundred years is too short. Let’s spend the rest of our lives together!”

“Okay, okay, okay. Pinky swear. No changes for the rest of our lives.”

“Okay!”

Just like that, Ye Changge carried Ning Manman and flew toward the end of their enemies and the beginning of their future with the morning light shining on their backs.

The closer they got to their destination, the denser the spiritual energy became.

More than a hundred thousand miles away was a country called the Great Zhao.

The density of the spiritual energy at the border was several times that of the ruins of the Freedom Palace.

However, compared to his Hidden Edge Sect, it was still very thin, and it was difficult to maintain the cultivation of ordinary disciples.

But here, when he scanned with his spiritual senses, he could more or less find one or two cultivators who had just entered cultivation, and their realms were also very low.

Rich and noble families also hid a few medicinal pills and talismans or magic tools that could be used by mortals at one time.

“It seems that it’s true.”

Ye Changge said in his heart.

The closer they were to the capital, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy.

The more cultivators there were, the higher their cultivation level.

Ye Changge circulated his breathing technique and hid inside.

He was dumbfounded.

Spiritual energy transformed into rain!

The rain that fell from the sky onto the ground was completely spiritual liquid that could be directly used for cultivation!

Even his own Hidden Edge Sect, the best sect in the Heavenly Mortal World, did not receive such treatment!

The stones on the ground, soaked in such rich spiritual energy for years, had also become spirit stones!

Although he did not lack these spirit stones and spirit liquids now, if his own sect had such treatment, the cultivation of his disciples would definitely be two great realms higher!

But thinking that this was exchanged at the expense of the people of other regions, Ye Changge’s thoughts faded.

He casually found an inn to stay in, ordered some wine and food, and began to chat with a servant.

Returning to the guest room, Ning Manman couldn’t help but sneer. “The Dense Earth Sect has already been destroyed? At that time, they were quite unreasonable. It was quite satisfying to hug the thighs of the Great Xia’s great families. How could they die out just like that? It’s really letting them off easy.”

“This method of going to the great world definitely would not last long. Unless that sect is very useful, such as some cultivation method that is very suitable to be used as a cauldron, or cultivation method that can expend one’s lifespan to refine special medicinal pills, otherwise, it will definitely not last long.”

Ye Changge leaned back on the recliner, looked towards the Emperor palace, and said lazily.

“Why?”

Ning Manman asked curiously. As a child, she could not understand. Those sects had all paid the price, so why should they still perish?

“Because they are not good people.”

Ye Changge did not want to talk to her darker things so early, as that would distort her childhood.

Better to just tell her now that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil.

In any case, she would eventually grow up and go out to experiment herself. With her own protection, her life would not be in danger.

She would naturally understand.

“Oh.”

Ning Manman nodded in agreement, but from her eyes, Ye Changge seemed to see the sneer of the bloodthirsty soul.

It seemed to say…

Was he lying to a child?

Ye Changge smiled and blinked twice.

Yes, to deceive a little sister like you.
