It had been nearly a month since we parted.
I slightly closed my eyes and slowly leaned back in my seat.
Thinking back on everything I had experienced during this time, and those life-and-death battles.
From the Sun Valley Grand Canyon in the Qilian Mountains, where we wiped out the Yellow Springs Valley Leng Family and killed the Snow Spirit King of the Qilian Mountains.
To Master being poisoned with Purple Ultimate Nether Saliva, our voyage to Japan, betrayal by our "compatriots," and meeting Aoi Yui.
The battle over the Abyssal Moon Soul, burning the mountains of Yamakita Town, and destroying the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect's stronghold.
The battle against Japanese monks on Mount Takao, drawing out the Corpse Demon, the "Great Tengu," then continuing to set the mountains ablaze before scattering and fleeing to Akiruno City.
I had thought that once we found the contact arranged by Mole's big brother, we would be able to return home safely.
Who would have thought that the man codenamed "Big Brother" would betray us? They laid a trap at Edo Harbor. The Saiō of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect, along with the Japanese monk Great Tengu, brought all their men to surround and eliminate us. Even that bastard Nine Corpse Daoist showed up.
We were surrounded from all sides. Brother Wang, Wang Baoguo, sacrificed himself, covering our escape with his death so that we could survive against all odds. We hid in the home of the gang member Takahashi Masahiko, but through his connections, we unexpectedly found a way to escape Japan.
Only then did we safely withdraw from Kashima Port to Busan, South Korea, where we also parted ways with Aoi Yui.
By now, Aoi Yui should still be at sea, not yet back in Japan.
It had only been a short month,
