Mo Daozi reached out and helped Qin Chu up, "Don't rush. Let's go back to the Sect and take a look, get some resources. You must be well prepared before going out."
Mo Daozi thought of everything he could and left after giving some instructions.
"There's one more thing. The old man who raised you isn't an ordinary person. He's very famous outside, nicknamed the 'Black Prison Master'. Some low-level Cultivators don't know this name, but Advanced Cultivators do, and they turn pale at the mention of it. He's bloodthirsty and loves killing!" Mo Daozi dropped another sentence after walking to the door.
Bloodthirsty, loves killing, turns people pale at the mention of him! Is that the old man?
Qin Chu was greatly shocked internally. He knew the old man wasn't an ordinary person, that he was a King Realm Cultivator, but he never expected him to be so fearsome that people turned pale at his name.
It was a while after Old Man Mo left before Qin Chu calmed down. The old man had raised him for fourteen years, a great kindness. No matter who the old man was, if he had the chance, he would go to the old man and fulfill his filial duties.
After staying at the Wolf King Hall's Sect gate for a day, Qin Chu left with Mo Daozi and the others from the Azure Cloud Sect.
Before leaving, Qin Chu bid farewell to Qian Lingtian and Qian Lingwu. He told Qian Lingwu that he would visit her in the Great Qian Imperial Capital later.
After arriving in the Azure Cloud Sect's territory with Mo Daozi and his group, Qin Chu separated from the Azure Cloud Sect's people. He wanted to go back to the place he used to live, to see if the old man had returned, and to see if his grave had changed.
Watching Qin Chu leave, Mo Daozi sighed.
"Mo Taishang, is he leaving?" Luo Zhen asked, looking at Mo Daozi.
"Yes! He has his own things to do, which cannot be stopped, and cannot be prevented. A grown eagle must spread its wings and fly high." Mo Daozi was still a bit emotional.
Ling Yunzi, Luo Zhen, and Lu Yuan all remained silent. The three of them knew Qin Chu's situation and that he was looking for his origins, so there was no stopping him.
Qin Chu returned to the deep mountains, to the valley where he once lived!
Looking at his grave, which was already overgrown with weeds, Qin Chu cleaned it up, then wiped the tombstone, and finally took out a jar of wine.
"Sixteen years ago, I lay here. No matter how long it's been, I did lie down, so this cup is for my resurrected self!" Qin Chu poured some wine in front of the tombstone, then took a big gulp himself, and then raised the wine jar to the sky.
One cup for myself, one cup for tomorrow!
Seeing that his sign, 'I am Qin Chu, I am still alive,' was still intact, Qin Chu turned and left.
Returning to the wooden house, Qin Chu looked around and was somewhat disappointed. Everything was as he had left it last time; the old man had not returned.
After tidying up, Qin Chu settled down. Two years of Sect life had been spent in intense Cultivation, so it was a rare chance to be quiet.
After staying in the mountains for seven days, Qin Chu left. Before leaving, he left a letter for the old man on the table in the wooden house, stating that he would be leaving Nanyan State to search for clues about his origins.
After a few days, Qin Chu returned to the Azure Cloud Sect, to the handyman's courtyard on Bamboo Peak.
After resting for a day by the cliff, Qin Chu asked Er Pang to call Bai Yu.
"You're back!" Bai Yu was very happy to see Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stepped forward and embraced Bai Yu, "Brother, take good care of yourself from now on, and also look after Er Pang."
"Boss, what do you mean?" Er Pang's eyes were full of shock, because Qin Chu's words were very abrupt, implying that he would no longer be responsible for him.
"I'm leaving. I'm going to find my Family. I don't know when I'll be back. In the Azure Cloud Sect, you two are my brothers, and I hope everything goes well for you both," Qin Chu said, looking at Bai Yu and Er Pang.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let Er Pang be bullied. Even if I leave, I'll come back often," Bai Yu said.
"Are you leaving too?" Qin Chu looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled, "I joined the Azure Cloud Sect by secretly running away from home. At that time, I had some conflicts with my Family. They didn't find me before because my Family and the Azure Cloud Sect were not on good terms, and my Family's influence couldn't reach the Azure Cloud Sect. But now it's different. Many Disciples from the Bai Family have joined the Azure Cloud Sect, so how can I still hide!"
As Bai Yu spoke, Qin Chu understood. Bai Yu's Family was a top Family in the Qian Dynasty, with hereditary royalty. This time, the Bai Family had gone to war with Emperor Qian. After the cooperation between the Qian Dynasty and the Azure Cloud Sect, the Bai Family sent its Family Disciples to the Azure Cloud Sect, and as a result, Bai Yu, who had run away two years ago, was discovered.
"Your Family found you. Is the situation serious?" Qin Chu asked.
"Not serious. I haven't committed any major mistakes, and besides, I'm a direct descendant of the Family, so it's nothing. If I'm not in the Azure Cloud Sect when you return, then come find me at the Bai Family," Bai Yu said to Qin Chu.
After chatting with Bai Yu and Er Pang for a while, Qin Chu went to see Lu Yuan, then visited Liu Xue in the main peak's core courtyard, paid his respects to Luo Zhen, and left a bundle of Heavenly Fragrance Grass for Luo Zhen before departing.
He didn't bid farewell to Mo Daozi and Ling Yunzi, not because Qin Chu was heartless, but because he didn't want Mo Daozi to feel sad.
Leaving the Azure Cloud Sect, Qin Chu hired a beast carriage and headed towards Heavenly Fragrance Town. He naturally wanted to inform Zihuan that he was leaving Nanyan State, and also wanted to see Qian Lingwu again. In addition, he still needed to go to the Great Qian Imperial Capital to find a map.
Heavenly Fragrance Valley was no longer under blockade. The Blood Saber Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion no longer existed. The Azure Cloud Sect and the Qian Dynasty knew what was inside; it was King Realm Cultivators willing to fight with them, so they didn't have any designs on Heavenly Fragrance Valley.
When Qin Chu arrived, Zihuan was very happy. She told Qin Chu that she had made great progress recently and was about to Breakthrough.
Qin Chu told Zihuan about the larger situation outside and also about his impending departure.
"Can you wait a few days? I'll go with you after my Breakthrough," Zihuan said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Zihuan, your transformation time is relatively short. Settle down first, and improve yourself steadily. I'll go out and scout for information first," Qin Chu said with a smile. He didn't want his own affairs to affect Zihuan, for everyone has their own life!
After some thought, Zihuan nodded. Her transformation time was short, and she indeed needed to consolidate and improve.
After accompanying Zihuan for two days, Qin Chu was about to leave.
Zihuan saw Qin Chu off outside Heavenly Fragrance Valley, "Tell the Qian Dynasty and the Azure Cloud Sect that they can enter and collect one bundle of Heavenly Fragrance Grass each year, and the quantity must not be exceeded."
Qin Chu nodded. He felt this was the best approach, avoiding conflicts over resources. That Qian Lingtian was not someone to be trifled with, and Zihuan couldn't outwit him. In terms of strength, Zihuan also had a gap compared to Qian Lingtian.
Leaving Heavenly Fragrance Valley, Qin Chu hurried towards the Great Qian Imperial Capital. After seeing Qian Lingwu, he could set off and begin a new journey. He had to find out his origins and what holy blood he possessed.
