"Half a year...enough..."

Outside the secret realm, Chen Ming was walking alone on the road, quietly heading out of the city.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, his whole body was cracked, and his whole body was covered with dense wounds. At first glance, it looked numb, as if it would split at any time.

Bits of golden Buddha's blood flowed in his body, and bits and pieces of golden light were spread. It was the divine essence of Buddha's blood. If it was used to baptize mortals, it could enhance the bones. It was a peerless treasure.

But at this moment, on Chen Ming's body, the precious Buddha's blood was flowing everywhere, and bits and pieces of divine light spread, almost completely covering the place, faintly drawing out a piece of vitality, making the area more vibrant.

The spread of such a huge amount of Buddha's blood also shows to some extent that Chen Ming's state has reached a limit at this moment, so much so that he cannot even control his own blood.

Like spring water, there is no way to stop it.

What caused all this was none other than the thing he held in his hand.

A hideous human head.

The human head was hideous, with a little residual blood on it, which looked crimson. It had not dried up yet and looked very fresh.

"Did you kill King Dongyang?"

In the distance, a voice sounded.

Chen Ming looked up and saw a young girl standing quietly at the city gate in the distance.

Shao Ling stood quietly at the city gate, still dressed as she was in the secret realm before, but her demeanor changed a bit at this moment.

There was some worry on her face, looking at Chen Ming's body covered in blood and the human head, her face turned pale for a moment.

"Well, I killed..."

Chen Ming nodded, then smiled: "I'm leaving soon. Before I leave, let's do something else."

"If His Highness Qing finds out, he will never be happy..."

Shao Ling looked at Chen Ming's appearance at this moment, her face was pale and she could not bear it.

She did not know the content of the previous conversation between Chen Ming and Xu Qing, nor did she know Chen Ming's physical condition.

But even so, looking at Chen Ming's appearance at this moment, she also knew that he was in a very bad state at the moment and had fallen into an extreme.

"Your injury is very serious. If you don't receive treatment, I'm afraid it won't end well..."

Looking at Chen Ming, Shao Ling said this, and finally took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Come with me..."

"what are you up to?"

Chen Ming was surprised and asked.

"I'll take you away."

Shao Ling said: "Your scars are serious and very conspicuous. If you don't leave as soon as possible, it will be very dangerous if you meet other princes..."

"I know a way that can take you away."

Chen Ming was silent for a while, then smiled, shook his head and said, "No need."

"I killed King Dongyang, and now I am afraid that I have become a thorn in the side of your Tianhuo clan. If you help me, if you are discovered, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but you will also implicate your elders."

"It's not worth taking this risk for me."

He was covered in blood and said calmly: "Go back and take good care of yourself."

After the words fell, he turned around calmly, stepped out and walked out, and soon his figure disappeared from where he was.

Shao Ling stared at Chen Ming's disappearing figure in shock. She stood there in silence for a long time before turning and leaving.

Because he moved quickly enough and had prepared for a long time in advance, Chen Ming left smoothly this time and no one caught up with him on the way.

Perhaps after some time, people in the royal city will discover the fall of King Dongyang and Chen Ming's actions.

But by then, it was no longer any of Chen Ming's business here.

"That's all we can do here, and the next thing is the other side."

While walking in the wild, Chen Ming turned around and looked at the city behind him, feeling the profound atmosphere inside and thinking to himself.

King Dongyang was shot to death, and the wounds on his body further opened up. At this moment, it was beyond saving, reaching an extreme level.

Chen Ming used a secret method to lock up the essence and blood all over his body, and barely managed to condense the body that was about to crack, preventing it from disintegrating directly, but he could only temporarily suppress this trend.

In half a year at most, his body will collapse.

Of course, Chen Ming didn't care about this.

But before his body collapsed, he still had some things to do.

"Tianfeng..."

After thinking this, he raised his head and looked into the distance.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, more than four months later, Chen Ming came to the foot of a high mountain.

This mountain peak is tall and majestic, with a layer of silver on it, which looks very unique.

After walking all the way from the outside world, Chen Ming walked straight to this mountain peak with a sigh on his face: "I'm back..."

This is the Tianfeng Mountain where his body has lived for twenty years, and it is also the headquarters of the Tianfeng Sect, one of the martial arts holy places in the Central Region.

The journey of Chen Ming and Xu Qing also started from here and finally reached the present.

Now, more than a year has passed since I left.

"It seems there have been a lot of changes..."

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Chen Ming murmured to himself.

The scenery in front of me is still Tianfeng Mountain in the past, but it looks slightly different. There seem to be more traps and the like covering the surrounding area.

Following a familiar path, Chen Ming walked to the side and looked in front of him.

In front of him is a house that he is very familiar with. The house consists of a large courtyard and two houses, one large and one small. Although it does not look luxurious, it still has a unique tranquility.

Walking quietly among them, looking at this house, Chen Ming looked at it quietly.

"It's still the same..."

He murmured to himself.

The house in front of him is the courtyard where he once lived.

This courtyard was assigned to him by Tianfeng when he was promoted to an outer disciple.

After that, although Xu Qing was promoted to an inner disciple in the Tianfeng Sect and almost became a true disciple, the courtyard has never been changed and he has been living here untouched.

Following the memories of the past, Chen Ming walked all the way forward.

He walked through the long courtyard and walked directly to the house.

In the house, there was someone waiting inside. With Chen Ming's arrival, he seemed to notice something and rushed out with an angry shout.

"who!!"

The sound was thick and powerful, and internal energy had been used in it. It spread hundreds of meters around in an instant, startling a crowd of birds and beasts.

Then a person rushed out and looked at Chen Ming, stunned.

"Brother Liu..."

The figure was wearing a black robe and looked very young. His whole body had a gloomy temperament. Even if he stood still, he could make people feel a sense of depression and heavy pressure.

"Brother Zhao Ji, long time no see."

Looking at this person, Chen Ming smiled, then opened his mouth and said the other person's name in one breath.

The person in front of him was none other than Zhao Ji, who had had several contacts with Chen Ming in the past.

However, compared with the past, Zhao Ji at this moment is obviously different from what he used to be.

He has a strong aura, boundless internal strength, and a vague aura of blood. In terms of cultivation alone, he is not much weaker than Xu Qing, which makes Chen Ming feel a little afraid to see it now.

Confidence.

"You...have practiced the two martial arts I gave you to perfection?"

Looking at Zhao Ji, Chen Ming was stunned. After a while, he hesitated and asked.

"but."

Looking at Chen Ming, Xu Qing hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "That day, after the eldest brother left, I practiced hard every day, and now I am an inner disciple of Tianfeng."

"Inner disciples..."

Chen Ming murmured to himself, then looked at Zhao Ji, couldn't help but smile, and finally said: "Yes, he is much better than me before."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

Isn't it...

When Chen Ming left Tianfeng, he was just an outer disciple.

If the rules of the Tianfeng Sect were followed in the past, when Chen Ming met Zhao Ji now, he would have called him "Senior Brother Zhao" in turn.
