Chapter 382 - Peace was Never an Option I (1/2)

”Are you okay now?”

”Mm.”

The figure nodded its tiny head.

”Will you consider letting go?”

”.............no...….don't leave me too.... Please.”

A quivering child, Wang Ling was left unable to move. He sighed, looked up at the white background of this world and just the figure let it all out.

Time passed; Wang Ling simply waited for his body to regenerate. Though he's currently conscious in this mindscape doesn't mean Wang Ling could just force himself awake.

[I'll stay here, for the time being, I already trained myself to react when there's a risk to my life anyway.] No matter how trained a person was, they would not be able to protect themselves when they're asleep.

If he estimated it right, Wang Ling had been sleeping for at least a couple of days now.

Besides, for him resting in this manner would be much more beneficial. Wang Ling had noticed that every time he fights and experiences a beat down, his body experiences an increase in terms of cultivation.

Though he's not exactly sure why just yet.

Wang Ling did not know of this but the Overlord Meridians had shown its varied uses, it increases his regeneration and with the Overhaul Phoenix Rebirth body, this body grows stronger with every beat up.

Right now, after the grueling fight with the demons, he's beginning to experience another metamorphosis.

Wang Ling was growing stronger without him even knowing, but this fact would be discovered by his observant eyes soon enough. At the moment, he's just letting his body recover, he's keen on breaking through the next stage in a few days too.

[I can't dally here while I don't even know the situation of my family…. I'm also worried about the appearance of the Abyssal Demons; they might continue spreading if nothing is done. The death of the Gray Figure must be dealing with —]

Wang Ling's train of thought was suddenly cut short as he felt someone prying at his body, without a moment's notice he awakened with beastly eyes, ”The hell do you think you're doing to me?”

”Thank you for saving this village from the Beyonders. Our forces had been too stretched out lately so we failed to send out proper help to everyone below us.”

”Ah, no, my Master and I were simply passing through… you need not thank us.”

In the physical world, Leo was currently in the middle of panicking because right in front of him were people man from the Lopus Family.

Leo was currently staying in a house provided by the village that Wang Ling saved. When Leo awoke, he was already in this house, he and his Master apparently were both unconscious after fighting the Abyssal Demons.

Leo and Wang Ling had been hailed as the saviors of this small village – though the fact was that Leo was knocked out by Wang Ling.

The members of the Lopus Family arrived two days later; they were expecting a clean-up but were surprised to see the village survived.

The villagers pointed at Leo and Wang Ling as their savior bringing us to the current situation.

The Lopus Family was someone who held tremendous power around these parts. Leo had brought Wang Ling here while he was unconscious.
