Chapter 130 - Departure

The run in with the devil cultivators was a huge blow to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Many disciples died due to the wave of Death Qi that spread over the Devil's Gorge. Shi Quan was having a headache dealing with the aftermath. Ah Chun did what she could to help out as well. 

There was just one piece of news that caused Ah Chun to feel depressed. Mei Liling decided to stay at the sect instead of following her to the Heavenly Realm. "Mother are you sure you will not come with me?"

"Un… Chun'er you are an a.d.u.l.t now. Mother can not always be by your side. You will undergo numerous life and death experiences.  Your path of cultivation far extends that of mine. Plus after this incident how could Mother leave the sect? Mother has been here for a long time so Mother has an attachment to this place. If something like this were to happen in the future and there was no one around to protect this place when Mother was gone. Mother wouldn't feel right. So Mother would rather stay here and protect the one place that Mother has called home for so, so many years now." Mei Liling never thought she would feel such an attachment to a place until after the threat of that place being destroyed almost became a reality.

Ah Chun sighed. She did not want to part with Mei Liling but she knew that Mei Liling was right. Her path of cultivation had just started. She had only reached the level of what the Mortal Realm considered its peak. 

Ah Chun looked at Mei Liling and nodded her head. "If Mother wants to stay then there is nothing Chun'er can say. Chun'er will try to come back as much as possible and visit as often as Chun'er can." Ah Chun stepped forward and gave Mei Liling a hug.

"Little Chun do not worry your big sister will stay and keep Mother company." Yu Yan who had just entered the room walked up and stood next to Mei Liling.

"Big Sister Yan please take good care of Mother for me." Ah Chun's eye redden. She fought hard to push her tears back.

"You can count on me, Little Chun." Yu Yan smiled as she gave Ah Chun a hug.

In the end, Zhi Rou was the only one following Ah Chun to the Heavenly realm. Days passed and it was finally time for Ah Chun to depart. She was a little reluctant to leave but she knew she had to do this in order to become stronger as well as her promise to Fei Hong. Even though she would need to take those painful baths every day for the next few years. She still felt it was all worth it.

The early morning mist had yet to settle as the dew built up on the surrounding flora. Five people could be seen flying through the sky. The blazing sun had just started to peek over the mountain peaks as the group of five landed in front of the entrance to the Dragon Mist Realm.

Qin Sha Stepped back from the group and bowed his head: "Young Master, Young Miss I will be heading back to the Immortal Realm." Ah Chun smiled and nodded her head. 

"Qin Sha tell my sister I will be heading to the Heavenly Realm with Chun'er. Tell her not to worry. The next time she sees me I will be a lot stronger than her!" Ning Shen smiled.

"I will Young Master. Young Master, Young Miss please take care of yourselves." Qin Sha was about to walk away when he was stopped by Ah Chun.

"Qin Sha wait a minute." Ah Chun reached to the back of her neck and pulled out a glowing white ball. 

When Qin Sha saw this glowing white ball his face paled. "Qin Sha take Xiao Wang with you." Ah Chun looked at Xiao Wang, who was in her hands and said: "Behave for Qin Sha do not freeze him like you did last time. I will come get you in the future. But for now I can not take care of you, so make sure you follow Qin Sha from now on."

Xiao Wang rubbed up against Ah Chun's arm before jumping up and floating over to Qin Sha's shoulder. Qin Sha looked like he had been seriously wronged. He wondered if he had done something to cause his young miss to be mad at him to have her once again pass this evil devil to him! Swallowing his grievances in his heart Qin Sha could only force a smile.

"Young Miss I will take good care of him." Qin Sha bowed once before turning around and flying off. 

Everyone else watched as Qin Sha left before turning to face the Dragon Mist Realm. With a sigh, Ah Chun looked at Fang and said: "Ready when you are Fang."

Fang nodded his head and tapped the space in front of him causing a distortion rift to open. Once it opened Ah Chun and the rest stepped through and headed back to the Heavenly Realm.
