An Ordeal

Ruan Yu's death severed Lin Fei's last remaining attachment to the Mystic Heart Sect.

His fellow disciples and friends—Tie Xin, Xiong Tao, Long Xuan, Jia Tianbao, as well as Yan Chixia and Xia Yu—were all dead.

His master, Ruan Yu, was dead too.

Everyone Lin Fei cared about was dead.

What died along with them was Lin Fei's sense of belonging to the Mystic Heart Sect.

At that moment, Lin Fei deeply felt the cruelty of the path of cultivation.

The longer one lived, the more friends and family one would have to watch pass away.

After being hurt time and time again, perhaps his heart would grow cold and hard, eventually becoming numb.

"Senior Sister Yan, Elder Cao, I can't accompany you on your travels for now."

"I need some time to calm down. After that, I may return to the Southern Heaven Continent."

Now that Cao Jiuxi had the Yin-Yang Life-Extending Pill, he was no longer burdened by the pressure of his lifespan running out.

Traveling abroad for experience was no longer so urgent for him.

As for Yan Qingcheng—

she truly could not stop worrying about Lin Fei, afraid that he would impulsively seek revenge again.

"There is no rush to travel."

"If you wish to return to the Southern Heaven Continent, I'll accompany you. We can look after each other on the road. I happen to want to go back and take a look as well."

Lin Fei did not respond to Yan Qingcheng. He returned to his cave abode alone.

This time, he had deliberately gone to the Earth Dragon Sect's territory to draw out their Cultivators.

It was not merely to kill a few people to vent his anger. He also wanted to gauge the Earth Dragon Sect's true strength.
