"When will the injustice be repaid?" Duan Jian muttered in a low voice, his voice broken by the sound of rain. He loosened his wrist and moved the sword away from Sikong Hongyue.
A trace of clarity flashed through Duan Jian's eyes. He took a deep breath, feeling the resentment that had accumulated in his chest for many years, and slowly expelled it from his body. He nodded without looking at the two people on the ground. He turned around, holding the knife, and walked step by step towards Nie Li, who was standing under the eaves not far away.
The crowd automatically made a way for him. Duan Jian walked up to Nie Li, bent his knees, and knelt directly in the muddy water on the ground. He lowered his head and said in a deep and firm voice without any reluctance, "Master."
Nie Li looked down at him for a while, then stretched out his right hand, pressed it on his soaked shoulder, and patted him hard. "I didn't expect you to let go of your obsession," Nie Li's voice was very steady and could be heard clearly in this quiet square, "Well done, Duan Jian."
Duan Jian hummed and stood up. Shen Fei next to him looked at this scene, nodded slightly, and followed Nie Li's words and said, "Good job. It's almost done, you can go back."
At this time, a man walked out from the crowd of onlookers. The man was wearing a dark blue brocade robe with a white fur collar around the collar. He had a slender figure and looked a bit calm as a child of aristocratic family. He was Li Heng from the Divine Flame Family. He walked quickly to Nie Li, stopped, slightly arched his hands, and said with a polite smile on his face, "Master, you still remember me."
Nie Li looked at his face and nodded immediately, with a very certain tone. "Of course, Mr. Li Heng."
Nie Li looked at him and asked, "But how did you recognize me?"
Seeing him asking this question, Li Heng put down his hand and his eyes fell on Nie Li. He pointed at Nie Li's back and stated the facts in a calm tone. "To be honest, I wasn't sure at first, but the extraordinary temperament of the young master is really outstanding. And he also carries Black Flame Sword..."
Li Heng was a little dumbfounded when he heard the second half of the sentence. He waved his hand and interrupted him, "Just say Black Flame Sword..." He smiled, and the expression on his face became solemn. He clasped his fists again and said, "Thanks to the father-in-law for this time." Please help me. Otherwise, my father will be in danger." He pointed at Li Xiao who was being helped up by Clan Member, and then made an invitation gesture, "If you don't mind, how about coming to talk to us Divine Flame Family?"
Nie Li heard this and didn't think much. He shook his head and refused. "It's such a pity. We have urgent matters and must leave."
Li Heng Hearing this answer, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He hummed slightly and looked around the square washed by the rain.
He saw the heads of the Thirteen Families family and elites from all races gathered here, and another thought suddenly came to his mind.
He looked at Nie Li, with a hint of probing and heartfelt emotion in his tone. "Black Prison World has so many human families, and they are all very powerful. If we can win them over..."
He seemed to be talking to himself or to Nie Li.
Nie Li looked at his appearance, suddenly took half a step forward, lowered his voice, and said something that made Li Heng stunned for a moment, "Actually, I am not from Black Prison World."
Li Heng's eyes widened instantly, with disbelief written on his face, "Oh! Really? No wonder you can take out so many Elixir."
He finally came to his senses. No wonder this man always had an indescribable calmness and could easily take out so many precious materials.
Nie Li looked at his reaction and knew that his words had an effect, and continued, "If you are interested in leaving Black Prison World, I will send someone to pick you up in a few days."
The shock in Li Heng's heart could no longer be described in words. He stood up straight. He was so excited that even his voice was trembling. "That would be great. If we can really get out of Black Prison World, our twelve aristocratic families would be grateful." He cupped his fists hard and bent down deeply.
Throughout Black Prison World, they tried their best to find a way out, and were even threatened by Sikong Yi with poisonous elixirs. Unexpectedly, the real way out was here.
Nie Li didn't stay any longer, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then go ahead and say goodbye!"
"Master Nie, walk slowly!" Li Heng kept holding his fists and watched Nie Li turn around and leave with the others.
Nie Li walked at the front, Shen Fei and Xiao Ning'er followed side by side on the left, and Duan Jian walked at the back holding a knife. They passed through the chaotic crowd and walked towards the shimmering portal at the edge of the square.
Arriving in front of the portal, Radiance Stone's light dispersed the surrounding darkness. Nie Li was the first to step into the light curtain, and his figure disappeared instantly. Shen Fei glanced at Xiao Ning'er, and the two of them stepped into Teleportation Array one after another.
Duan Jian walked last. He stopped in front of the portal. He turned around and looked back at the familiar Black Prison World.
The cold gleam emitted by Radiant Ore, the forever gray-brown sky, those muddy roads, and the wreckage of the Silver Wing Family. All of these looked so desolate in the rain.
He thought in his heart that he had lost everything on this land, but it was also this land that turned this piece of scrap metal into real steel.
He took a deep breath, as if he was sucking all the depression of the past ten years into his lungs, and then spit it out heavily.
"It's all over." He lowered his head and said softly to himself.
The voice was very soft, dissipated in the sound of rain and the hum of Teleportation Array's operation, as if all the unhappiness in the past had vanished into thin air after this sigh. He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he knew one thing, this was what he wanted to do now.
Then, he raised his head, his eyes became firm, he raised his feet, and stepped into the portal.
