Year 11 of the Human Calendar - Southwest of the Holy Land of Xue - Old Nie family camp

I stood in the same place for one hour.

[Did you calm down?]

(...Yes)

When I saw that...thing, I just couldn't stop. My brain shut off and my body moved on its own.

[Did that make you happy?]

(Happy? No, I wouldn't say that)

Ziyun and Xue weren't people that would seek revenge, this didn't accomplish anything.

(But...)

[But?]

(Now he will never destroy another life, that does make me relieved)

I really doubt that he stopped killing after that day.

How many lives did he take?

How many husbands lost their wives because of him?

How many wives lost their husbands because of him?

How many children lost their parents because of him?

How many tears did he cause?

How many smiles did he take away?

How many futures did he destroy?

That ended today.

[Do you need some more time?]

(That is not necessary, lets go back)

I turn my body in the direction of the Holy Land of Xue and I start traveling there.

Leaving behind only plant fertilizers.

[At the end there was no city lord here, but...]

(Yes, I know)

......

...

I reach the south gate and...

“Welcome back, master“ Yue

“Welcome back, master Linjian“ Tang

“Welcome back, master“ Usain

There were my three disciples.

“I am back“ Linjian

“Did it go well?“ Yue

“Yes, there are no more threats to this land“ Linjian

“As expected from master“ Yue

“This is the first victory of the humans against the cultivators! We need to celebrate!“ Usain

He went inside after saying that, it seems there will be a victory feast today.

“Master Linjian, are you okay?“ Tang

So it shows in my face huh.

[Yes, it does]

“I'm fine, I just ran into someone I didn't like“ Linjian

“Ah, I understand“ Tang

“I will go to my house now and I will sleep after announcing our victory, so don't expect me in the celebration“ Linjian

“...Have a good night master“ Yue

“Have fun you two“ Linjian

I try to show a smile, but it was surely a forced one.

“...“ Tang

...

Once in my house, I spoke to the Holy Land of Xue.

“Animal Whisperer“ Linjian

“Residents of the Holy Land of Xue“ Linjian

“I have taken care of the remains of the cultivators forces“

“This day will past to the history as the first day that the humanity defended his homeland in this world“

“Be happy, be joyful, be proud. And above all, be thankful to everyone at your side“

“We are not peerless and we will never be, We made this possible by working together day by day and hand in hand“

There is no one on top of nobody in this land.

“We are humans! and we will never give up!“

Neither I, Neither them.

“Have a good night everyone“

[46 MP CONSUMED]

After the message, I went down to the basement of my house and recovered my MP with the Mana Stones that were filling it.

[After the Mana-recovering song of Hikari, these Mana Stones lose their purpose]

(Replacing the Spiritual Repellents will not be necessary anymore)

[But I guess they will be useful somehow]

(They will always be useful to recover my MP)

I went up to my bedroom and I sleep to recover my stamina.

(Maria wake me up when it is done)

[Count on me]

This fight is not over yet.

......

...

It was about the midnight and I was on the other side of the south gate.

[Are you sure you don't want to say anything to them?]

*♪♪♪*

“With only a Bronze coin in my pocket♪“

“And yet you wanna be my friend?♪“

“We are, We are, on the cruise!♪“

“We are!♪“

*♪♪♪*

I can faintly hear Yue singing In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace from here.

(There is no need to do that. They already have the strength to stand by themselves)

[But...]

(Even if I lose this fight, the Holy Land of Xue will still stand)

The cultivators don't care about their kids, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a value to them.

A son to a cultivator is an extension of his power, a tool, an object, a trophy of strength.

Therefore, what I did yesterday was similar to damaging the propriety of the city lord.

This fight is unavoidable, my only choice is to choose where it will be.

I don't want to risk the destruction of this place, so I'm heading towards the Heavenly Phoenix City.

“Ziyun, Xue“ Linjian

Before keep going, I caress the silver pendant on my neck with my right hand.

“Today, I will be testing my limits fighting a Jade Rank cultivator“

[...]

“Please, look after me as always“ Linjian

I start running to the southwest to fight one of the strongest demons on this continent.

“...“ ???
