Chapter 26 - Answers (2/2)
He softly sighed knowing she was telling the truth. Perhaps, if his cultivation reaches a point where his every word was an imperial decree, he could decide what he wanted to do. Until then, forget it.
”What about his other disciples? Where are they?”
”Dead.” She stated.
”...”
”...”
”I see.”
”Anything else?” She inquired.
He was silent, looking towards the ground in thought. Only after quite a while did he look up and asked, ”How do I get home?” His voice was filled with desire and homesickness. He wanted to go back home.
Lin Feilin looked towards Yan Zaizen with softer eyes. Indeed, he was just a kid who was kidnapped from his home, brought to a place too far away from it, and then left there without any guidance. It wouldn't be strange if that's all he wanted. The rest of his questions were just curiosity from his experiences, but this is what he truly wanted to ask all along.
”There exists a spatial platform within Xuanxu City. If you earn enough, you can use it and be sent to the Zhu Que City. It's a city situated near the Soaring Cloud Territory. From there, it shouldn't take you more than a few months to reach the Yan Clan.” Her words obviously displayed her knowledge of the Yan Clan's location and methods of travel.
”Truly?!” Yan Zaizen, for the first time in a long while, he was overjoyed. He felt like a lost dog that got the scent of its owner once more. He could finally return home!
”However, you'll have to wait eight months.” She said, bringing him back to reality.
”What?! Why?!” His words were filled with agitation. Why eight months?
”The platform only operates one time out of the year, the next time would be in eight months.” She stated. However, she added, ”If you wanted to leave the Basilisk Forest, it'll take you about that long with your cultivation and that's considering you can escape alive. However, after that, you'll still be thousands of li away. It'll take you years with your cultivation, even if you travel day and night.”
He knew she was telling the truth. Perhaps if he was just traveling in a straight line, it would be better, but he couldn't. There would be areas he must pass, detours he had to take, and not to mention the variety of other things that can go wrong on a trip.
”Fine. Eight months it is.” He wasn't that dejected. Considering the time span of travel between the Zhu Que City and Meteorite City, it wouldn't take more than a month or two.
During this time, he could focus on cultivation and maybe go about hunting for some wealth. If he's going to go back to his clan, he may as well do it with filled pockets!
