Chapter 541 Being a Free Person (1/2)

Even if Shen Lian had no intentions to oppose the Xia Kingdom, with the way things were going, it was also inevitable for Shen Lian to fight Emperor Xia.

In actual fact, to people like Shen Lian and Emperor Xia, they could have let their families and countries go just like the cumulus clouds. However, with life in this world, there were some things that could be let go but there was no need to let go. This was exactly just like how previously, Shen Lian did not give up on Qing Xuan, Emperor Xia would also not give up on the Xia Kingdom.

Shen Lian finally opened his eyes. It was already a cold night at this hour and there was no light within the carriage. There was only the bright light from his eyes. Xiao Hei was also startled and it carefully looked at his master. It had followed Shen Lian for many years now and it was good at reading Shen Lian's body language. He knew that the confrontation between Emperor Xia and that person would definitely have an influence on his master.

In the dark, Shen Lian suddenly quietly asked, ”Ol' Hei, is there anything that you want to do in your entire life?”

Xiao Hei did not expect his master to suddenly ask this question. He thought and thought, then answered, ”Follow you I guess, I'm fine with doing anything.”

Shen Lian could not help but chuckle as he knocked the tiger on the head. It was really good for nothing. Finally, Shen Lian answered, ”Then you just follow me.”

Xiao Hei felt a warmth within him. His master was still concern about it and for a moment, it felt that its buttering up just now was not for nothing. Afterward, it suddenly felt a chill in its entire body. It looked around suddenly. The stars and moon in the sky were distinct. They had already reached a wilderness area. It lifted its head and asked, ”Master, where are we now?”

Shen Lian simply answered, ”We are not following the Xia Kingdom's troops. The Eastern Barbarian is such a big place, I want to have a look.”

Xiao Hei gave an 'oh' as a reply. Perhaps under these skies, only his master dared to ignore Emperor Xia's decree. He had already agreed to follow the troops but then he just suddenly left.

In actuality, it was unclear about the fact that even though Emperor's Xia blade was against Yunyang, it was actually meant for Shen Lian to see. There was a slight hint offor visiting.

Shen Lian then rode on black tiger and simply said, ”Let's go.”

Emperor Xia communicated with Shen Lian through telepathy, and finally gave up the intention to engage Shen Lian in a combat. From this, Shen Lian could speculate that Emperor Xia's Dao of the Demonic Blade was incomplete, which was still why he did not want to combat Shen Lian at this time.

While Shen Lian left the Xia troops, it was also to give Emperor Xia some space. However, for the rest of the clan in the Eastern Barbarian, they were in for trouble.

But all of these had nothing to do with Shen Lian. He was solely a free man in this world. To be able to take care of the matter that mattered to him, he had nothing to be ashamed of.

The Eastern Barbarians had high mountains and lofty hills. There were flourishing woods and tall bamboo bushes. There were even countless tribes, both big and small.

Excluding the Youshi Tribe, there were other big, strong tribes such as Gaoyao [2] and Boyi.

Shen Lian rode on Xiao Hei. Along the way, he discreetly observed the sceneries of these tribes. Some of it was primal and there were some that were new and strange. For example, for the tribes here, almost everyone knew either witchcraft, Dao techniques, or some other bizarre abilities. There was quite an atmosphere where all the people cultivated. Yinshang departed from the Eastern Barbarians and completely took on the path of the Qi cultivator. Perhaps it was because of the origins here.

Compared to the earth where Qing Xuan was, the general level of cultivation level of the Eastern Barbarians and the Xia Kingdom was relatively high. Nonetheless, no matter where the world was, it was not easy to attain longevity and not to mention the state of heavenly immortals.

As for the Taiyi state, that was already not a state that could be reached by a chance or natural gift. It involved many other factors. Looking to the long river of time, there was a limited number of figures like such.

Without realizing it, Shen Lian had already entered deeply into the Eastern Barbarians. With his supernatural powers, he would naturally not startle the powerhouses of the Eastern Barbarian easily. On this day, he reached a nearby small tribe.

It was not that he came to this place on a whim. Rather, he saw that there was dense demonic Qi on the peak of the opposite mountain. Even during daytime, this black air could be seen circulating the mountain head and lingered there for a long time. There was definitely a formidable demon being entrenched in this area.
