Chapter 1327: Leaving the Capital! (2/2)

This was a loyal subject who worried for the country and the people. Even if Wushang Village suffered a major loss by following this man, the Wushang Village Chief could still accept it.

At the very least, they would have died a glorious death in service of the people of the Central Plains.

Bang!

At this moment, the carriage jolted to a halt, and a simple and honest voice came from the front.

”Old Sirs, Tong Pass is right ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chong felt his mind tremble.

”Tong Pass?”

Wasn't this the pass in Longxi that led to Qixi and Anxi?! Only now did Wang Chong realize that his master and the Wushang Village Chief had mentioned that they had already taken him away from the capital. However, Wang Chong had never imagined that when he had awoken, they were already at Tong Pass. This place was already very far away from the capital.

”Still thinking about going back?”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man was seated cross-legged in the carriage and wasn't even looking in Wang Chong's direction. Nevertheless, nothing Wang Chong did could escape his penetrating gaze.

”You will need at least seven days to get back to the capital from here, but in not even half a day, your injuries will flare up once more. If you encounter those men in black again, without me or the Wushang Village Chief at your side, you will essentially be doomed. In addition, do you plan to return to the capital and bring disaster on your mother and Xiaoyao as well?”

The capital was in the middle of a crucial moment, and he had far too many things that needed to be done. Otherwise, he would not have gone several days in a row without attending to his Stellar Energy. He paid little attention to the first part of his master's words, but when his mother and little sister were mentioned, he immediately began to hesitate.

”Your master and I have determined that though these men in black are bold and willing to commit all manner of atrocities, they seem to only be interested in their target. The majority of the people they kill are people who happen to be caught up in their attacks. If you go back in your current condition, there's an extremely high chance that they'll attack you,” the Wushang Village Chief said.

While Wang Chong was unconscious, he had discussed this matter with the Demonic Emperor Old Man and reached this conclusion. Returning to the capital at this time was incredibly unwise.

”But!”

Wang Chong wanted to say something more, but the Demonic Emperor Old Man quickly cut him off.

”There are no 'but's!

”Until we find the Origin Immortal Art and treat your condition, you shouldn't even think about going back. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man's expression was ice-cold, his eyes emotionless.

Wang Chong bitterly smiled, knowing that he had truly infuriated his master this time. As the Demonic Emperor whose every order in the martial arts world had been followed and whose very name caused the courage of others to fail, he was already showing great courtesy to Wang Chong by speaking to him in this manner.

Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind, but he was finally forced to give up and helplessly reply, ”Yes, Master!”

The Wushang Village Chief watched all this from the corner, a smile on his lips. This child was truly a stubborn one. If his master didn't act this way, it would probably be impossible to change his mind.

Now that Wang Chong had finally given up, the Demonic Emperor Old Man's mood finally seemed to improve. Meanwhile, the Wushang Village Chief couldn't help but chuckle to himself at their relationship.

……

Understanding that he couldn't go back, Wang Chong calmed down and followed his master and the Wushang Village Chief to the northwest to search for the Origin Immortal Art. The Origin Immortal Art was known as the supreme art, and it was probably the only method to deal with the problems of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

”…The Wushang Village Chief and I have gone searching in the northwest many times and have left empty-handed. But by coincidence, we obtained another fragment of the Origin Immortal Art map from another group. By putting the two pieces together, we were able to spot a few clues.”

As they headed northwest, the Demonic Emperor Old Man used the chance to tell Wang Chong about his and the Wushang Village Chief's adventures in the northwest.

”There are many people paying attention to this matter, and though your master and I managed to find a few clues, we also encountered many problems. There are many treasure hunters gathered in that place, and we also encountered quite a few of your master's colleagues,” the Wushang Village Chief added.

”Hmph, colleagues! Excellent colleagues!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man spat, his eyes exploding with killing intent.

”Master, you mean…”

Wang Chong immediately thought of something.

”Your guess is correct. It's those people!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man coldly said.

Wang Chong blinked and took a deep breath, his expression turning strange.

When he first encountered his master, his master was already being pursued. Besides that treasonous senior martial brother, major figureheads of various sects had also played a part in his master's downfall.

It was clear that his master had run into these people on his journey to the northwest.

”This is truly like meeting one's enemies on a narrow road!” Wang Chong said.

His master needed to be avenged, and these grudges were absolutely irreconcilable. But there was no need to rush in resolving personal grudges, while the southwest and Talas were different. More than one million lives had been at stake in those battles, so Wang Chong had never had any time to investigate the matter.
