237 Rest in Peace (2/2)

He also had the ability to make inscriptions and he could create pills. Although he was still not at a level where he could make Rainbow Pills, the ones he could make could assist him slightly.

But all of this was aided by luck. Had he not stopped by the Black Iron Fortress, he would not have been given the mission to get the Seven Star Nightflower and then stumbled upon the legacy of the Moon Prince.

If he had not gone further and further towards the center of the continent, he would not have had the opportunity to cultivate in an environment with a much denser heaven-and-earth essence, which had made it easier for him to break through.

He even had the luck of getting lost in a forest and finding Bai Tianyi. However, you win some you lose some. He had luck, but he was equally unlucky. He was currently the continent's most wanted person. Both men and beasts had a thing against him. He had no peace of mind anywhere.

But although luck had given him many chances, the reason that he had succeeded was due to his hard work and determination.

He was a very determined man. In fact, it was borderline stubbornness. He was not willing to give up on anything. He would continue until he mastered it completely.

But few would have the same experiences as Xue Wei, so chasing after him might be a suicidal idea. Especially since he had a high natural talent because of the Azure Dragon Blood that flowed in his veins.

Shaking his head, he did not think more about it. He gestured for the surviving two deathsworn to leave and then regrouped with Hei Gou, Lin Xiao and Bai Tianyi.

”Lan gave us a month,” he said seriously, while contemplating what to do. He had already finished what he wished to do.

”Do you want to visit those two friends of yours?” Hei Gou asked. ”What was their names again... Luo Zhirou and Shen Mu I think?”

”I do want to meet them.” Xue Wei nodded, but then a complicated light shone in his eyes, ”but I cannot.”

”Why not?”

”It is really quite simple,” Bai Tianyi explained. ”He just killed a majority of the Primordial Beast Hunters in the entire kingdom, alongside the king. If he were to visit them, would it not be the same as telling the world that they are traitors?”

”Not to mention that they might not want to see me anymore,” Xue Wei added. ”I was a normal human when I knew them, but now the truth ironically shows that I am indeed a beast—if only partly, but that part of me is what they hate.”

Hei Gou sighed. It was truly a shame that all it took to divide them was the fact that he was partly Azure Dragon.

”Let us just return to Lan,” Xue Wei finally decided. ”We can also learn by watching how he makes a transdimensional tunnel.”

The others had nothing to say. They had no ties to the Heping Kingdom, so for them it did not matter where they went. Hei Gou could not return to his family either. He was unaware of the fact that Chu Huiyin had visited his family and informed them that he was on a special mission.

With one last glance at the capital of the Kingdom of Heping, Xue Wei turned around. He was momentarily blinded by the sharp sunshine of the setting sun.

The clouds were painted red from the setting sun, and the pungent smell of blood was still heavy in the air. The ground beneath them was littered with corpses. No one had bothered scavenging for storage treasures or other treasures. They were not here to rob them. This was an act of vengeance. Any wealth they would earn from it would feel dirty.

Eventually, the citizens would rush out to rummage through their clothes to get a bit of their wealth. It might even erupt into fighting, but Xue Wei simply did not care.

With this bloody scene imprinted in his mind, a deep sigh escaped Xue Wei's lips. He suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

”My dear brother Haolong, do you see now? I got rid of the ones who caused your death!” he muttered to the air.

He was aware that this bloody scene was something that Tie Haolong had not wished for—he might even have been against such a devastating way of getting revenge—but Xue Wei had to act according to his beliefs. He could not bring himself to let anyone who had had something to do with Tie Haolong's death go unpunished.

”This is over,” Xue Wei said to himself, as he started flying towards the direction where Lan was waiting for them. ”All ties between myself and the Heping Kingdom have been cut. In the future, I will no longer find fault with them unless they once more cause problems for me. I hope that they will be able to survive in their own way.”

Lin Xiao and the two others could see that Xue Wei was in deep thought. It was clear that he was thinking about what had happened in the past, alongside the sudden lightheadedness he now felt and the feeling of being free of all burdens. This was an experience he had never experienced before, so he was trying hard to grasp it.

Eventually, Xue Wei smiled. ”I will let my name resound throughout the entire world. And one day I will end the war between humans and beasts here on this continent. I will make it so that no more people will suffer a fate like yours, brother. This will be your everlasting legacy!” Xue Wei said to nothing in particular, but in his mind he saw the once familiar figure of Tie Haolong smiling at him.
