Book 2 - Fame Spreads

Chapter 28.1 - The Road Back Home

After leaving the Xie Residence, He Yiming didn’t take the mountain road again and instead followed the official road, heading towards Heaven Sieve country.

While leaving, he refused all the gifts except for a colt from Luo family- a reputed breed of horse in the north.

This horse named ‘Red Silk’ was only two years old. It was an exceedingly rare red-colored breed, which didn’t have a single hair of different color on its body. Its ability to bear weight was outstanding. It didn’t seem to be going through any trouble while carrying both He Yiming and that three hundred jin heavy broadsword.

Even an idiot could tell that this horse was precious and rare. However, only because this was the case had He Yiming accepted it.

Travelling merely five days on the horse, He Yiming left the borders of Fire Crow country, arriving in the Gold Forest country.

Actually, if he’d used Red Silk’s speed to its limit, he certainly wouldn’t have required five days. However, He Yiming was travelling for the first time on the road after all- unlike the previous instance when he could move as he pleased in the forest. As such, in order to avoid taking a wrong turn, he’d no choice other than to steer the colt slowly.

In the northwestern countries, apart from those three powerful countries, the rest didn’t contain more than five county districts individually, among which there was no lack of those that only contained a single county and county town.

The Gold Forest country only had two counties and was ranked in the far back among the northern countries. Moreover, currently, He Yiming wished to return as soon as possible. As such, he’d no interest in stopping here.

Turning at a mountain road, He Yiming pulled the reins. As his gaze fell down, he couldn’t help but reveal an astonished expression.

On this road, ten corpses were lying around. All the corpses were covered with bloodstains, clearly indicating that they had been killed in battle.

He Yiming was not seeing such a scene for the first time. Be it the ma.s.sacre in the Cheng family, or the Cheng family returning the favor to the bandits, in both the cases, there were far more deaths than the scene currently laid out before him. Therefore, He Yiming didn’t panic at all, and rather inspected the scene before him with creased brows.

Around these corpses, weapons were randomly lying around. It seemed that this battle had already been over for quite some time. However, He Yiming couldn’t figure out why n.o.body had sorted out the scene.

He Yiming thought for a bit. As he was looking at the weapons on the ground, his heart suddenly stirred.

Ting Liferay had said that ordinary weapons couldn’t sustain the Xiantian True Qi. He’d not verified this fact for himself.

Sitting on the horse, He Yiming reached out with his hand. Immediately afterwards, a steel sword on the ground suddenly stirred and went into his hand.

He Yiming softly waved it. Although he couldn’t tell this weapon’s standard, he’d a feeling that this sword was the best among all the weapons lying here.

The Blaze technique immediately operated inside his body, carrying the True Qi to the sword through the meridians of his arm.

Imbuing with Internal Energy could increase the weapon’s might. This wasn’t strange. However, True Qi was grossly different.

At first, there didn’t seem to be any change in the sword. However, after a few minutes, it started to turn red. By touching the sword, He Yiming could even tell that the interior of this sword had begun to rupture. With a sigh, he threw the sword down. Ho

wever, as soon as the sword’s body touched the ground, it exploded into pieces.

He Yiming faintly shook his head, astoundedly looking at his palm before his grat.i.tude for Ting Liferay slightly increased.
