64: Ten years

Chapter 64: Ten Years of Time

After hearing Guan Xunzhi's explanation,

Xiao Lingchen immediately understood.

This guy was actually a filial son who abandoned the sword for medicine to save his father.

On this point,

Xiao Lingchen was very similar to him.

Just for this point,

Xiao Lingchen could not possibly leave him here to fend for himself.

"I can give you a ride."

"But let me be clear first, these skeleton soldiers are very strange. If I am no match for them halfway and you drag me down, I will not hesitate to abandon you."

Guan Xunzhi immediately laughed and said:

"Okay!"

"Brother Lingchen is willing to give Guan a ride, Guan is already infinitely grateful."

"If we truly encounter danger, Brother Lingchen should just leave me and go!"

Xiao Lingchen nodded.

Then, he took Guan Xunzhi and fought their way forward!

Previously, he had also thought of taking Guan Xunzhi into the Mystic Realm space of the creation cauldron, but he found that the creation cauldron and other space-type Magic Treasures like Storage Rings were all Invalidation.

Helplessly, he could only take him forward.

Spring passed and autumn came.

Xiao Lingchen took Guan Xunzhi and walked in this wasteland for three years.

At the beginning, Xiao Lingchen was still obsessed with the Supreme Opportunity in the True Martial Space.

But in this vast wasteland, besides the endless skeleton soldiers, he couldn't even see a shadow of an Opportunity!

Later, Elder Yunzhu never appeared either to take him back.

He thought Elder Yunzhu had gotten lost and wanted to go back.

But he had already lost the way back.

He could only take Guan Xunzhi and keep moving forward.

Three years of time.

The two of them traveled more than ten thousand miles without stopping.

Fortunately, the strength of those skeleton soldiers peaked at the Breaking Illusion Realm, and no stronger skeleton soldiers appeared.

The two of them were also able to keep traveling while ensuring they weren't injured by these skeleton soldiers.

In the fifth year.

The two finally left the wasteland.

In the sixth year.

The two returned to Guan Xunzhi's hometown.

However, Guan Xunzhi's hometown was already dilapidated, and his father, family, and fellow villagers had all become white bone skeletons.

Guan Xunzhi was heartbroken.

People from the neighboring town said.

Soon after he left home, his town was looted by mountain bandits.

The men were slaughtered, and the women were taken back to the mountain stronghold.

More than ten years of effort in medicine instantly turned into nothing.

Making Guan Xunzhi almost go mad.

A strange light seemed to bloom within his body.

The next day.

He reported it to the officials.

But there was no news for a long time.

The third day.

He took his sword and killed his way up the mountain.

He slaughtered all the mountain bandits on the mountain.

But he was captured by government soldiers.

Only then did he know that officials and bandits were in collusion, and the world was cold and harsh.

He bowed to Xiao Lingchen as his master.

Using terrifying talent to improve his swordsmanship.

In the seventh year.

Alone with his sword, he killed all those corrupt officials.

However, the Dynasty was corrupt, and the officialdom was rife with corruption.

He killed the corrupt officials and won the hearts of the people.

But he was wanted by the imperial court.

In the ninth year.

He was surrounded by a million soldiers and saw the person who wanted to capture him.

It was the current empress, who was also his biological younger sister from the same father and mother.

He was stunned.

Only then did he realize that the people who killed his parents back then were not mountain bandits at all.

It was clearly his sister who didn't want to be a burden to her parents!

His sister climbed to her current position by stepping on the corpses of her parents.

And she still wanted to kill him personally.

At this moment, Guan Xunzhi completely went mad.

The strange light within his body bloomed again.

His Realm soared.

He slaughtered all the million soldiers and personally killed his own biological sister.

In the tenth year.

The Dynasty was overthrown.

Guan Xunzhi returned to the town.

After paying respects to his parents.

He drank all the wine on his waist.

Then he stabbed a sword into his chest.

He took out a bone that looked like a sword and handed it to Xiao Lingchen.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Lingchen asked in horror.

Guan Xunzhi, who was lying in Xiao Lingchen's arms, said with a tragic smile:

"Master... Master, this is the Innate Sword Bone, it... it was born with Disciple..."

"Before this, it was just an ordinary bone, hidden in Disciple's body and covered in dust. Only by experiencing great joy and sorrow in life could it transform."

"Now, this Supreme Sword Bone is complete, I give it to Master."

Xiao Lingchen said angrily:

"Who wants your Sword Bone?"

"Take it back, otherwise you will die!"

Saying that, Xiao Lingchen was about to stuff the Sword Bone back into Guan Xunzhi's body.

Guan Xunzhi's mouth was overflowing with blood, and his face was pale as he said:

"It's useless, Master..."

"Once the Sword Bone leaves the body, it can never grow back."

"Originally, Disciple thought of giving the Sword Bone to Master after healing my father's stubborn illness with my essence blood."

"But I didn't expect... so much to happen and it to be delayed for so long."

"Now, Disciple's family members are all gone, and the great revenge has also been avenged, Disciple has no more attachments."

"I will give this Sword Bone to Master. After Master refines it, you will benefit infinitely, which can be considered Disciple's repayment of your kindness."

"Finally, finally, I want to say... To be able to know you, a master who is also a friend, Xunzhi has no regrets dying."

"It's just that this time, I will trouble Master again. After Disciple dies, please bury Disciple with my parents."

"Disciple... is leaving..."

The last words fell.

Guan Xunzhi also exhausted his last bit of strength and fell into Xiao Lingchen's arms.

Looking at the dead Guan Xunzhi, Xiao Lingchen felt grief from his heart.

After ten years of getting along, the two were also master and friend.

It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for him.

However.

In the end, nothing could be changed.

Xiao Lingchen buried Guan Xunzhi next to his parents' grave and lit three sticks of incense.

Suddenly.

The surrounding environment changed rapidly.

Everything returned to nothingness.

A vortex exit appeared in front of him.

Elder Yunzhu's call came from his ears:

"Lingchen, three months have passed, you can come out!"

At this moment, Xiao Lingchen woke up as if from a dream.

Only at this moment did he realize that the past ten years were just an illusion created by the True Martial Space!

He composed himself.

Xiao Lingchen walked towards the exit.

The next second.

He returned to the place that was previously filled with spiritual energy and was mysterious and profound.

In front of him were the Elders of the thirteen Sects.

Elder Yunzhu was among them.

Seeing Xiao Lingchen come out.

Elder Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood:

"Fortunately, you came out, you weren't injured, were you?"

Xiao Lingchen shook his head:

"No."

At this moment, he was completely awake. He had already left the True Martial Space.

Everything he had experienced before was just an illusion.

Elder Yunzhu grabbed Xiao Lingchen's hand and said:

"Then let's not delay, let's go back quickly!"

After saying that, Elder Yunzhu was anxious to take Xiao Lingchen away.

He had to be anxious!

Knowing that Xiao Lingchen would come out of the True Martial Space today.

The people of Tianyan Sect had been waiting outside early, wanting to punish Xiao Lingchen.

Fortunately, he had the foresight and also brought a group of people from Tai Xuan Sect.

At this moment, they were blocking the people of Tianyan Sect outside, buying them time to leave.

And just as they were about to leave.

Elder Xinghe blocked their path:

"Xiao Lingchen, you still want to leave?"

"Today, my Tianyan Sect wants you..."

However, Elder Xinghe's words were not finished.

His head had already fallen.
