CHAPTER 1229: CHAPTER 1227: I BELIEVE (5 UPDATES)

On the latest Lingji Token’s List of Exceptional People in the Black God Mountain Region, Di Qiong has surprisingly risen to third place!!! And Wen Rou has entered the top fifteen!

However, the Five Great First-Order Forces have been repeatedly defeated by Di Qiong and Wen Rou. Recently, they have become quite serious and cautious.

Lately, there have been very few martial cultivators from the Five Great First-Order Forces sent to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and when they do come, they join forces, and every one of them is quite formidable.

As a result, Di Qiong and Wen Rou have been hitting a wall these past few days, finding it difficult to inflict any casualties on the Five Great First-Order Forces.

This is exactly why Wen Rou said those three words, "You should go."

Where should Di Qiong go?

Four months ago.

That was the most dangerous encounter the two women had faced, during a pursuit of a group from the Feng Family. Unexpectedly, one among them was a highly positioned young member of the Feng Family, accompanied by a devotee of the Feng Family.

The two women were in a life-and-death situation when a middle-aged woman suddenly descended from the sky, saving them both.

After rescuing Di Qiong and Wen Rou, the middle-aged woman wanted Di Qiong to follow her, claiming she wanted to take Di Qiong as her apprentice.

The middle-aged woman was very unique and mysterious, her true strength was unclear to Di Qiong and Wen Rou, only that she was incredibly powerful.

Additionally, the woman seemed to hold the Feng Family and even the entire War Ancient Sky in distaste.

She must have a significant background.

Ultimately, Di Qiong refused!!!

Because she wanted revenge, to avenge Su Chen.

The middle-aged woman did not force Di Qiong, but gave her a token, telling Di Qiong that whenever she realized her decision, she could shatter the token and the woman would appear.

"Qiong’er, you should know, in the past year, we’ve made the Xuu Family, Feng Family, and other Five Great First-Order Forces quite cautious enough. Recently, we haven’t had any success, which proves it." Wen Rou said quietly.

"Then we leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains." Di Qiong said coldly, "Once we’re out, we head to the Xuu Family and so on..."

"Qiong’er, you know that’s unrealistic; the two of us combined aren’t a match for any elder within the Five Great First-Order Forces." Wen Rou sighed.

"I’m not afraid to die." Di Qiong was in tears, "He’s gone, if not for revenge, I wouldn’t even want to live alone. This past year, I’ve been in agony every moment."

"Qiong’er, I know you’re not afraid to die, but what’s the point in dying now? Whether it’s the Xuu Family, the Feng Family, or the Xing Family, they’re all fine, especially Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, and Xing Gu, they’re living well. In the end, have we really avenged? If you truly want revenge, to one day kill Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, Xing Gu yourself, to overthrow the Xuu Family, Feng Family, Xing Family yourself, the only thing you need to do is increase your strength."

Di Qiong’s beautiful eyes flickered and she was silent.

Wen Rou continued, "And the only way you can rapidly increase your strength is to apprentice under that middle-aged woman. You yourself said, that middle-aged woman is extremely, extremely powerful."

"If I leave, what about you?" Di Qiong was persuaded, but still worried about Wen Rou.

"I will also find a power to join. Although I’m not as strong as you, nor as talented, I’m still okay. After all, I’m also highly ranked on the List of Exceptional People, any power in War Ancient Sky Realm can accept me." Wen Rou said quietly, "When you have gained enough strength, return and together, we’ll avenge him."

"Wen Rou, I’ve always wanted to ask you, why do you accompany me in avenging our master?" Di Qiong bit her lip and asked, "You and the master don’t seem to have much connection."

Indeed, at the beginning, Su Chen and Wen Rou’s relationship was a transaction; he would protect her, and the reward was the Ancestral Reversion Pill.

In the end, not long after, Su Chen died in the Thunder Spirit Mountains, and even when Su Chen died, Wen Rou was never protected by Su Chen.

Ultimately, Wen Rou actually suffered a loss.

After news of Su Chen’s death spread, Wen Rou could have easily left and severed all ties with him, which would have been the best choice.

Yet, Wen Rou stayed with Di Qiong in the Hundred Thousand Mountains avenging Su Chen, facing life and death dangers numerous times.

Di Qiong had never asked Wen Rou, why?

"Well, I don’t have much to do anyway." Wen Rou smiled, "I consider you a friend. Just think of it as keeping you company."

"Wen Rou, I... I’m reluctant to leave you." Di Qiong suddenly hugged Wen Rou tightly. Over the past year, their bond had become extremely deep.

"Qiong’er, work hard. You can do it. You can definitely become a Supreme Expert." Wen Rou’s beautiful eyes glistened with tears, but she quickly concealed them.

"Wen Rou, promise me, you will live well." Di Qiong’s voice trembled, "And, be sure to check for any news of the master. I believe he’s not dead!!! The master definitely won’t die!"

"Alright!" Wen Rou sighed, is Su Chen really alive? She was very rational. Rationality said, impossible. So many had witnessed it, and there was an Earth Level Formation Burst Sphere, how could he survive? Moreover, even if alive, after a year, there would have been news.

But Wen Rou couldn’t say that; maybe giving Di Qiong a glimmer of hope would motivate her to go on living.

"I’m leaving." The next moment, Di Qiong released Wen Rou and walked out of the cave.

Wen Rou did not follow.

Di Qiong, leaving the cave, shattered the Jade Pendant.

Soon, a middle-aged woman appeared, breaking through space!!!

Without any superfluous words, the middle-aged woman merely smiled, appreciatively glaring at Di Qiong, and then together, they left.

After Di Qiong had left, Wen Rou stepped out of the cave, glanced at it, and sighed, "The Black God Mountain Region is no longer suitable. I’ll head to Scarlet Balance Prefecture!"

Scarlet Balance Prefecture is also a region within the War Ancient Sky, larger than Black God Mountain, and overall stronger because the Sword Emperor Palace is located in Scarlet Balance Prefecture.

Wen Rou chose to go to Scarlet Balance Prefecture for a reason, because within it, there is no Xuu Family, Feng Family, Xing Family, Qiu Family, Azure Underworld Sect, or Pang Family, nor Yanxu Palace.

Thirteen days later.

Wen Rou left the Black God Mountain Region.

Also on this day.

Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Inside the Lei Ling Ruins.

In an Instant.

Within the Illusion Array, Su Chen opened his eyes!

And let out a breath of turbid air.

He had reached the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Dominion Realm.

From the Fifth Level of the Origin Domination Realm to the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Dominion Realm, he had broken through over a dozen Minor Realms.

However, this was only a minor achievement.

The greatest achievement was that the "Divine Demon Body Refinement" had broken through to the Fourth Level!!!
