Chapter 1096: A Bold Change For The Better

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

If the greenery in the valley formed a complete picture, then the Abbey Dean would be a part of it as well . However, at the same time, he was also outside of the picture . More specifically, it seemed like there was another smaller picture hidden in the complete picture, and the Abbey Dean was actually part of the smaller picture .

The smaller picture was a mezzanine of the breath of nature . It was a secondary dimension that existed between the dimension of reality . As he stood in that s.p.a.ce, it seemed that he was very near, but in reality he was a lot further away . It seemed like he was in the picture, but in truth he was inside another picture that was inside the picture .

The parameter within a few feet of the Abbey Dean's surroundings was affected by the breath of nature exuded by the mezzanine, hence it felt like the season of spring was at its peak . Baby green buds decorated the trees and yellow flowers were dotted everywhere among the gra.s.s . Ning Que's iron cutla.s.s of thousand slashes cut out the Yi Talisman, it could slice the green buds and blooming flowers into pieces, but not the coming of spring . Spring inherently took no form .

The spring breeze blew, and the leaves swayed in the wind . The Abbey Dean's figure flashed to a safe distance, approximately ten yards away from the edge of the lake . Far away from the terrifying Talisman Intent and blade intent, which prevented him from entering the area .

It was like the wall of a fortress, people from the outer side cannot enter, but at the same time the people on the inside cannot exit as they please . It became a prison cell in the end, regardless of the fortress or lake .

Ning Que had gotten himself imprisoned twice in Chang'an city, hence he was no stranger to this situation .

“You should not have left Chang'an city,” called out the Abbey Dean as he stared at Ning Que, his expression calm and gentle as always, reminiscent of the spring breeze . It was as if he was an elder that understood all that happens under the sky, providing sincere and genuine advice, “You do not have any chance of winning . ”

Ning Que knew that what he said was right . His biggest hope to gain victory over the Abbey Dean or the Drunkard, who were both Grand Cultivators, would rest on the most powerful weapon in his a.r.s.enal: the G.o.d-stunning Array in Chang'an . It was pa.s.sed down by his teacher, and to leave Chang'an would mean abandoning the weapon ten thousand miles away from him . In other words, it amounted to suicide .

But he had to leave Chang'an .

On that fateful day, while snowflakes fell gently in the wind, he had made this decision and will not regret it . He was aware that the Abbey Dean planned to kill Sangsang, and he was the only one who could find Sangsang before the Abbey Dean does .

I should stop thinking about had happened, but instead think about is about to happen .

Ning Que looked the Talisman Intent that completely surrounded the lake . He remained silent as he tried to figure out his next step . The moment the blade intent disappeared, he would leave, as far as he could . Sangsang would be safe if the Abbey Dean could not perceive her world .

Everything he did was to provide a chance for her to escape, although it might eliminate his own chances of surviving . He glanced at the big black horse, fully aware that it would most likely die alongside him . Regret and pity for the creature raged in his heart .

However, the big black horse did not meet his gaze . It refused to see the apologetic look in his eyes . It wasn't acting cute or demonstrating its usual antics of silliness or arrogance . It was merely staring sharply at the Abbey Dean who was at the other side of the lake, like a warrior ready for the final battle .

Ning Que felt rather touched . He smiled softly while caressing the mane on its neck . Abruptly, his smile disappeared, seriousness was.h.i.+ng over his face .

A clear cracking sound could be heard coming from behind him .

The recently erected wooden shack appeared by the lake edge . Sangsang held onto her hip as she slowly emerged from the shack . She had returned to the mortal world, dismissing her own world .

“Why did you come out?” Ning Que asked with no small amount of frustration .

“I felt unwell . ” Sangsang strolled by the edge of the lake as she held onto her swollen belly, ignoring eye contact with the Abbey Dean on the opposite sh.o.r.e . She declared expressionlessly, “I'm blaming you for this . ”

“Which part of you is feeling unwell? And how exactly is it my fault?”

“You made this, so of course it's your fault . ”

Ning Que was speechless, grumbling in his mind: Weren't you the one who wanted this? Of course, at times like this, there was no reason to argue about this matter . As for her reason for exposing herself, how could he not know?

He did not plan to ask any further, all because he thought the answer would be too mushy . Despite that, Sangsang beat him to it and said, “I can't bear to see you leave . I… I want to be with you, and I'm already so used to having you by my side . ”

Being used to someone's presence was indeed a beautiful thing .

Ning Que held her hand as they sat down together on the stump of an old tree . Sangsang looked rather tired, but her eyes gleamed with life, a feeling of satisfaction that hadn't been experienced before .

After listening to her soft yet meaningful confession, victory or failure did not seem as important anymore .
