CHAPTER 743 SCAR'S DETERMINATION
"Any plan?" the chief of the Sky Manor repeated. That was not what she expected Ricky to ask.
She was the only one left of the Sky Manor. She was an innate spiritual king. With Ricky's help, she
would be able to rebuild the Sky Manor in the Realm of Wildness.
However, power did not attract her at all and the object she had been guarding was now in its rightful
place. She didn't quite care whether the Sky Manor could be rebuilt.
"Ricky, you have the Misty South Palace, right? I want to join the Misty South Palace. And then, we'll
decide what to do later," she answered after some thought. She really should have thought more about
this since it concerned her future, but she couldn't think right at that moment.
"Chief, you are joining the Misty South Palace? You are absolutely welcomed there. But what about the
Sky Manor?" Ricky asked in surprise when he heard what she said. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"That thing we were guarding is now in its rightful place. I don't think there is still a meaning for the
existence of the Sky Manor. And you know I am not interested in power. If there is anyone in our
generation besides Kristen and me, I would not take the position as the chief of the Sky Manor."
Ricky marveled at her words. "If so, the Misty South Palace will welcome you. But I assure you, if you
want to rebuild the Sky Manor, I will help you with all I have."
"I'll thank you in advance." The chief of the Sky Manor smiled warmly at Ricky.
"And you don't have to call me chief anymore. My name is Karen Tang, and you can call me Karen."
"Okay, Karen." Ricky smiled.
After their conversation, Karen Tang went ahead and packed all the important things she would need
and headed towards the Misty South Palace with Ricky.
She did not bring much—besides those memorial tablets of her ancestors, there was nothing important
left.
… The lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness and the chief of the Casting Guild kept what happened
inside the Sky Manor a secret. Therefore, everyone else inside the Realm of Wildness was confused
when the Celestial Army suddenly disappeared.
Confusion easily gave way to excitement and relief. After all, when the Celestial Army was still in the
picture, they all felt tense like a huge beast was breathing down their necks. But now that the Celestial
Army had left, they were able to breathe easily again.
Those who personally knew Ricky and had competed with him were all the more shocked when they
saw how much he had improved. Within two years, there was such a huge gap between their strength
and that of Ricky.
There was no doubt that the gap would keep getting wider.
Returning to the Misty South Palace, Ricky met some of his friends, such as Edgar and Agnes.
However, when they saw that Ricky was now an innate spiritual king, they felt hesitant and unsure of
how to act around him.
Of course, Ricky told them to be confident.
Ricky did not hide anything from Elder Evan and others in the Misty South Palace. He delivered his
cultivation resources. Although those cultivation resources meant nothing to Ricky, they were all
precious to Elder Evan and the others.
With these resources, Elder Evan could easily live a hundred years more.
And within a hundred years, Ricky would definitely be able to help Elder Evan and the rest as they
taught others about the level of innate spirit.
People of the Misty South Palace were all truly excited as the chief of the Sky Manor joined them. They
were honored that a spiritual king had joined their ranks.
As all these festivities happened, Ricky pulled Scar aside and discussed with him in private.
"Scar, I plan to move the Misty South Palace to the Oriental Realm, just where the Saber Hall is."
"To be honest, I have already taken the Saber Hall as a base for the rising of the Misty South Palace.
Ricky, If you asked me in the past, I would immediately protest, even with the bonding contract
between us. But now, I have to admit, you have really impressed me," Scar admitted as he looked
searchingly at Ricky.
"So, there is no more Saber Hall, but only Misty South Palace. Or we could say that the Saber Hall is
now a part of the Misty South Palace."
"Oh? Scar, you have really surprised me," Ricky answered with his eyebrows raised up in wonderment.
Truly, he had expected Scar to raise more of a fuss.
"It's no big deal. Your strength, your talent, and your characteristics made me realize that you are
someone worthy to follow," Scar told Ricky in affirmation. And every word that he said was true and not
merely lip service.
"Therefore, I will call you Master Ricky."
Ricky's talent, his rapid progress, and his impressive achievement had convinced Scar that he would
be a prodigy that was more exceptional than Jasper. He would surely become a spiritual emperor.
He believed that it was more important for someone to be concerned in providing timely help than
preoccupied with adding brilliance to oneself.
Therefore, he decided to follow Ricky. It eclipsed any decision he might have made in his life, but he
knew that this decision would benefit his road of martial arts in the future.
And honestly, he did not just claim it. He really meant every word he had uttered. As a completed
spiritual king, he had to be responsible for his promise. If he betrayed his promise, it would be like he
betrayed his true self.
When he heard Scar's sincere words, Ricky's eyebrows jumped in surprise. He thought that it would
happen one day but he thought it would probably happen when he was stronger than Scar. He didn't
expect the day would arrive so soon.
Ricky marveled at how Scar matured and how wisely he made his decisions.
"Scar, thank you for trusting me. I will move the Misty South Palace to the Saber Hall.
But the Misty South Palace will stay a part of the Saber Hall, because there are many people out there
that are still trying to kill me."
"I understand, Master Ricky." Scar nodded knowingly. Without any need for explanation, he had
realized Ricky's cause of concern.
"Ha-ha, Master Ricky sounds strange. I am not a master. Please call me Ricky, all of you are like
brothers to me." Ricky smiled.
"Okay, I will just call you Ricky," Scar agreed without hesitation. He knew Ricky wouldn't pretend to be
modest.
"So, I need you to take them back to the Saber Hall. I have already made my appearance here. Those
forces including Luxurious Chamber of Commerce will find out in no time," Ricky said.
"So what are you planning to do?" Scar asked.
"The fight over the Sense of Realm is about to come. Before that, I have to reach the level of an upper
spiritual king. Therefore, I will need to find my opportunity." Ricky wondered what he would do to hasten
his training. He had no doubt that he would succeed but he needed to plan so his efforts would not be
wasted.
"Scar, after you are done with the preparations for Misty South Palace, you should start cultivation as
soon as possible. The Sense of Realm is also an opportunity for you."
"I know. Take care of yourself. As long as you are not attacked by a spiritual emperor, I believe you can
always escape," Scar warned Ricky. He knew Ricky had a zone and could take care of himself, but he
was still concerned.
"I'll be careful. Well then, let us go our own ways now. See you at the fight over the Sense of Realm.
Please take care of those in the Misty South Palace," Ricky reminded Scar, though he had no doubts
that Scar would keep his word.
"You don't have to worry. None of them will get hurt as long as I'm still alive," Scar reassured him
confidently.
