The barbarian's eyes kept looking at Jiang Ning and the others from behind until they disappeared.
It was only then that the barbarian walked out of the bush. Thick hair had grown all over his body and had been left untended for years.
"A barbarian?" He laughed as he lowered his head to look at himself and grabbed his hair and beard. "I can't believe someone called me that. He didn't expect anyone to come since no ordinary people could enter.
"I finally get to see the light of the day," sighed the barbarian deeply. "How dare that asshole come back? Times are going to get chaotic again." Jiang Ning and the others left the primeval forest.
He turned to look at the dark and dense forest worriedly.
Who was that barbarian? Jiang Ning could sense he was no ordinary man.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Also, did that coffin in the ancient castle belong to the barbarian?
"Let's head back for treatment first," said Jiang Ning.
He looked at the forest deeply before he ignored the barbarian and left with Brother Gou and the others.
It was enough that Jiang Ning had confirmed the markings in the manual were a map. He didn't want any other unnecessary sacrifices.
Very quickly, Jiang Ning took care of their injuries before boarding the flight back to Donghai.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the forest, the barbarian headed back to the ancient castle. He walked underground and looked at his coffin with a concerned look on his face.
He didn't know how much time had gone by. His slumber seemed particularly long.
"It's time for it to start again," he muttered. "I wonder how many people will die this time."
He reached his hand to touch the coffin gently with a look of self-deprecation.
"This coffin probably won't go to waste." He laughed the moment he finished his sentence.
He bent over, retrieved something from the coffin, and stuffed it in his chest before he strode off without hesitation from this huge ancient castle.
Meanwhile, in a secluded place.
Even Mr Lang didn't know where he was.
He was gravely injured.
It was already very impressive that he was capable of surviving the amount of explosives that Brother Gou and the others had ambushed him with before Fang Qiu came with his men to hunt him down. Mr Lang never felt so indignant in his life, and he had lived a very long life now.
"This world has certainly changed, but it is still equally dangerous." He deeply inhaled before he took care of his injuries.
It was an astounding feat that Mr Lang was capable of escaping in one piece under those circumstances.
"Cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently several times. After recuperating for a few days, he was now able to move.
He raised his head to look into the distance sternly.
"Those old geezers in the western region must know I'm back." Mr Lang gritted his teeth. "If I have to activate it, then let's do it."
"Everyone will have to pray they have the good fortune of surviving. In any case, I don't care how chaotic the world ends up becoming!" A fierce look flashed in Mr Lang's eyes.
He didn't expect the world to change so immensely or for someone as powerful as Jiang Ning to appear under such conditions.
If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, he was done for if Jiang Ning caught up with him.
"I can't believe how powerful the Extreme Fist Technique actually is. Why didn't we figure it out back in the day?"
He sneered without genuinely taking it to heart.
The location documented in the
manual was more important to them. Once he got there, they could gain true enlightenment in martial arts and get to the place they
wanted to go so as to gain the thing
they held most dear.
Mr Lang tossed aside all
l.ne
distractions and slowly closed his eyes. Now was not the time to think about this. It would be a battle between masters when the doors to the passageway were opened, and Jiang Ning had no right to interfere.
What he wanted to do was to enter that place and get the very thing that would be able to save the person he wanted to save.
