Chapter 931: Chapter 129: Once in the Martial World, Time Rushes By (End of Volume)

Afraid of being tossed out by the roaring gale.

Boom!!!!

But after just a dozen breaths, the endless clouds dispersed.

The view before everyone suddenly opened up wide; clouds rolled and flowed, the boundless clouds lay below, shining with sunlight, with golden ripples like gentle waves, leaving everyone momentarily spellbound, watching these changing clouds, unable to speak.

What grandeur.

In the Murong Family, the zither sound ceased, Murong Qiushui pressed his palm against the zither strings, gazing at the mountain, with winds and clouds rising, seeming as if a dragon shadow accompanying thunder was soaring into the sky, lost in thought for a long time, the lingering sound of the zither slowly dissipating.

Murong Longtu said, “The child has to leave, but there’s nothing I can do.”

Murong Longtu was left with only the power of One Sword, and since Whale Hunter was also heading there, he didn’t go to the Western Regions with Li Guanyi this time, but stayed in Jiangnan.

There’s another reason too.

When Sword Madman Murong Longtu leaves Jiangnan, everyone will immediately focus on Li Guanyi’s movements, realizing Li Guanyi isn’t in Jiangnan, which might not be beneficial for Li Guanyi’s journey this time.

This second reason was used by Li Guanyi to persuade Murong Longtu.

He hopes the elder can enjoy his later years in peace in Jiangnan.

Murong Qiushui’s slender fingers pressed against the zither strings, the zither sound crisp like a Bright Pearl dropping onto a jade platter, muttering to himself, “Guanyi grew up by my side since childhood, back when he didn’t have such strong martial skills, didn’t have such abilities, he was often by my side.”

“At that time, taking care of him kept me in a frantic mess.”

“Back then, I wasn’t very old either, constantly exasperated by him.”

“Sometimes, he’d catch a cold and fever, needing someone to hold his hand and stay by his side to fall asleep; if he woke up and found no one there, he’d cry and fuss.”

“Made my head ache.”

“Always thought, once he grew up, everything would be fine.”

“Now, he’s grown up, possesses good martial skills, and more people surround him. Yet, he spends less time by my side.”

“Makes one somewhat nostalgic for when he was still little.”

Murong Qiushui looked at the sky, lost in thought for a long time, and said, “Indeed, he grew up in the blink of an eye; words like these only make sense in hindsight, this decade really passed like a blur.”

Murong Longtu said, “Can’t bear to part with the child?”

Murong Qiushui laughed, a sly smile, and said, “Grandfather, we are children of the Martial World; farewells are just a habitual thing, merely expressing emotions for a moment, who really can’t bear it.”

Murong Longtu looked at her, gentle and kind.

That cunning and composed aunt in front of Li Guanyi had her smile gradually fall apart as she watched Li Guanyi and the others depart, showing not a single trace of her sorrow as she lowered her head, her pale palm pressing against the zither strings.

She murmured softly, “I don’t want him to leave.”

“Yet I can’t stop him.”

“Truly complicated.”

The zither sound snapped and ceased.

She choked up and said, “Really, I can’t bear it.”

…

The Ancient Red Dragon soared skyward, surrounding winds swirling around, leaving the Jiangnan region at an exaggerated speed, everyone watched in astonishment, Li Guanyi lowered his gaze and looked down, the zither sound lost in the winds, quickly dissipating.

Li Guanyi lowered his gaze for a long time, then shifted his focus toward the farther heavens.

Mr. Lei murmured, “I want to write a book to tell later disciples, having such a fate makes it worth even if I die.”

The Ancient Red Dragon deliberately rushed into the wind, the gale filling everyone’s sleeves, feeling like it was about to sweep them off, frightened them, making them hold tightly onto the Scale Armor, scared of falling and shattering, their bodies stiffening.

Li Guanyi and Shaking Light sat on the dragon’s head, specially permitted by the Ancient Red Dragon.

The dragon whiskers gently raised, Li Guanyi sat cross-legged, the silver-haired girl faced the wind, with her temples and forehead’s silver hair blown back, brushing against Li Guanyi’s cheek, revealing her smooth forehead and an exquisite face unlike the worldly.

Shaking Light opened her mouth, the wind filling her, her cheeks slightly puffing up, blowing the wind making a low sound:

“Ah ah ah ah ah…”

This sound was quiet, not able to carry far and was scattered by the wind.

Only Li Guanyi heard it.

Li Guanyi couldn’t help but chuckle softly, protectively keeping Shaking Light from falling, this time, riding the Red Dragon, it was just them, along with two non-members, the old Siming and Whale Hunter, choosing their own path.

Whale Hunter and the Ancient Red Dragon didn’t get along; the Ancient Red Dragon allowed Li Guanyi to ride due to their alliance, let Mr. Lei and others ride because, to the eyes of the Ancient Red Dragon of eight thousand years, Mr. Lei, Nangong Wumeng, and others were just fleeting beings in the clouds’ glow.

Whale Hunter was different; though the Ancient Red Dragon was stronger, they were nearly on the same level.

Whale Hunter had a long lifespan.

No alliance with the Ancient Red Dragon.

With its nature and dignity, the Ancient Red Dragon couldn’t allow such a peer to tread upon it, Whale Hunter failed to convince it, attempted to sway Shaking Light, hoping the silver-haired girl would go with them.

After Shaking Light refused, Whale Hunter came multiple times and even threatened Li Guanyi in secret, which Shaking Light discovered; perhaps part of her emotions were recovered due to Li Guanyi having previously opened part of the formation.

Shaking Light seemed to have a slight ripple of anger.
