“He can notice us.” One of the figure that Manstein categorized as already dead then looked to his direction.

“Uh, from the appearance he does not seem like out of ordinary though.” Another said while still directed his eyes to Manstein.

“Isn’t that mean that this man can see something that should not be seen by most people?” it was the old woman that said such a thing.

Facing with the figure that already left this world made Manstein stared at them dumbly. He could not even utter a single word and he had to stay calm outside.

“Please don’t make it hard for him. Maybe this is the first time that he experienced this situation.” Said Ye Shui to them all.

‘Since when I started to see something like this?’ Manstein felt that the event became strange since he met with that entity. Even Ye Shui then said something about the angel.

“Hmm, sorry for asking something rude but what do Patriarch mean by an angel?” Manstein afraid that after the entity had said something about that he had seen something that should not be seen, he started to see something that supposed to be hidden.

“Tell him about it in general, son.” An old man with a grin plastered on his face appeared on the side.

“Father, it’s not like we come here to avoid the suffering that we receive in that realm but we come here to watch our descendant’s reaction to our death.” Said Ye Shui.

“It’s true for the newcomer and it’s true for us all. Other than this place, we can see everything in the world but we cannot interfere even a bit.”

-

Ye Yingyuan could feel that Manstein's eyes looked everywhere as if there was something but Ye Yingyuan only thought that he swept the people in that place.

But the problem was, Manstein also looked up and even to the place that there was nothing in that place. This made him stared at Manstein and could not help but wonder in his mind.

“Please treat him well. This is to show our sincere thank and feeling so you must seriously treat this as your repayment, understood?” Old Zhang’s sound at the people around him.

“Of course!”

Then the coffin was placed beside the hole that shaped like a rectangle, the same shape as the coffin. After that, all of the sounds that previously produced by speaking, moving and even their breathing had gone.

“Bury it.”

-

After some time had passed, the coffin was buried. Other than the members of Ye family, the rest of them all felt that their eyes now were full of water. Maybe they could not see and feel the kindness the person had given to them but the results of it were obvious.

The moment of silence continued a bit longer as Old Zhang, Ye Canghai, Ye Guhan, and Li Dian were closing the hole.

The sounds of the shovel that Old Zhang produced then stopped abruptly, marking the end of his job.

“The place where the scene of the pond makes it beautiful, such place is where your body rests Patriarch.”

Finished with the job, Old Zhang finally could say what he wants. His eyes now focused on the mound that Ye Canghai now marked with a grave. The grave itself was made from a tall stone that had been sculptured by Ye Guhan.

“Mother.” Then after that Ye Yingyuan turned his head to see his mother only to see her solemn looks.

“Don’t worry, Mother just have something to remember.” Noticed that his brother paid attention to their mother made Ye Qingcheng replied.

But that calmness and harmony were broken by a sudden shout that came from outside the city. When all of the cultivators heard that, they instantly realized that someone intentionally used their energy to send their sound across the entire city.

“Someone that has guts to do this must be really strong or a fool.” Commented Hou Fei.

‘Senior! Don’t you hear that?’ Manstein was saying his goodbye to Ye Shui when Alice interrupted. Not only he knew about the inter-realm for the dead but also knew some ancestor that also died in this world.

“Please take care of yourself and good luck in returning to your world. There is still the possibility as long as you try.” Said Ye Shui.

Manstein did not expect that after death, everyone would know about the secrets that the world contained but was forbidden to tell it to anyone that still alive. Of course, Manstein did not dare to touch a subject that he himself had never seen before, much less asking about it for the moment.

“Okay, I satisfy with this. As long as I can return then this will all worth it.”

Alice turned silent after hearing Manstein talked to someone that she could not even sense!

“Don’t forget to teach them something that you know. This will be the first interaction between the traditional and advanced world and let me tell you that we will always watch you!” it was actually the man with a large grin. His name was actually Ye Huan, Ye Shui’s father.

“It’s a pity that they can’t sense us otherwise...” Ye Shui said that while left the place.

“No, instead it’s good that they don’t sense us other than that man. Even the strongest evil bastard in the world will cower when he sees the realm we currently in.” Ye Huan replied quickly.

Then their figure disappeared. Another figure than nodded to Manstein as a reminder that even the dead still watched the living.

“What? What do you want to tell me?” Manstein finally remembered that Alice had said something.

“Humph, now you noticed. And who are you talking to? I don’t see anyone.” Said Alice that confused over the matter.

Manstein also noticed that even if Ye Shui that time came to the closest distance to his family, they would not feel his presence at all. ‘So it’s true after all. Even my device cannot detect anything.’

Then Alice told Manstein that something had happened. The sound then continued to echo throughout the city.

“Whoever holds the disciples from Seven Color Sect, come here right now!” that was the message the sound carried.

“What is this all about?” a person asked. But of course, that was the question most of them had in their mind. No matter what, there was definitely something that caused all of this to happen and they just had to find out.

“It’s them huh? I thought that they hide because it was already two months but as expected.” Li Dian then released his energy from his body. A light then enveloped the entire body before he burst out outside the city!

“Oh no, it’s them.” This time under the surveillance of the soldiers of the mayor, Li Kuang now felt something in his skin.

He went numb on the skin and then a strange line formed on his entire body.

“Tracking Dust? This must be something that only Seven Color Sect currently have.” Ye Xiaobai looked coldly at Li Kuang.

‘Ch, my bad memories. The sect that became the target for his ambition, if only I didn’t go to that bamboo forest...’

Usually, Tracking Dust was used when someone wanted to track something or someone. But other than that, it was used in the forging of the weapons. That was why Ye Xiaobai could recognize this material.

“Cousin, what should we do? Now that they come here and recognize the target already, they must be planning something else if they still not act.” Ye Yingyuan frowned.

“You all stay here.” Ye Canghai said while he moved closer. But suddenly, his sleeves were held by the white hands that belonged to no other than his wife.

“You should not involve in this matter, too much factor to count.” Yu Feng looked at him, trying to convince him not to go away. Ye Canghai became confused because when she got to do this, anything was possible.

“In the end, we will be involved no matter what. Besides, they strike us first and we already have the proof.” Ye Canghai reassured his wife that it would be fine.

“Father!” both Ye Qingcheng and Ye Yingyuan also came to their father’s side, also had a bit of worry in their heart.

“It’s fine. Besides, where is he?” despite using his nascent energy to scan the area, Ye Canghai could not feel the presence of Manstein after the burial was done. But as he expected, Ye Yingyuan could not even know where much less Ye Canghai.

“Is Uncle looking for me?” a sound that came from behind made all of them stared at the figure that appeared in front of them.

“Yes, he is. Just look at him, Senior.” Alice then using her technique, materialized herself to her physical form.

“Oh, come on. What can we do if we cannot overcome this obstacle?” Manstein found it quite problematic to leave the matter without a solution at all. But at the same time, the clash with every power on the continent would cause the disastrous effect to the people that even did not involve themselves.

Like the saying, ‘Flourish, people suffer. Perish, people suffer.’

“Like I told you before, this time’s competition will full of the fierce contestant as well as the more deadly opponent that will try to do any things necessary to obtain what they want.” Alice then started to explain the situation that she had heard from Hou Fei and Wu Qing.

‘The fluctuation of that energy is getting stronger. But Senior also radiated such energy from his soul, does he absorb all the energies in this world in its essence?’

Alice remembered that the Soul Transfer method was actually not suitable for its name and even Wang Yu stated to change its name. Wang Yu commented that if that method was turned into soul technique then it could even rival legendary technique that only...the existence like the high heavens would have.

“...so do you still want to do it?” despite knowing the answer, Alice still asked about it. Ye Canghai then looked at her with respect.

“Of course I will do it. Not only they keep provoking us, they even dare to lay their hands on the citizens as well by using them as a tool!” this time, a hint of anger could be heard in his tone. The case where the kidnapping of some of the people made Li Dian investigated it for the time being.

It turned out that the cause of that came from someone from Seven Color Sect.

“Please go to your house. We will make sure that anyone who closed their doors will not be subjected to the threat.” Ye Guhan drove the citizen away from the place. He had to do this because the conflict of the cultivators could spread to anyone.

“Now, one of the formation has been prepared.” Wang Yu then appeared with his new body. The body had the same feature when Manstein first met him with only his soul.

“If not for my Senior here, you can forget about having your body return.” Alice grinned when she saw Wang Yu appeared with his new body.

Wang Yu turned pale after hearing that. Indeed, if not for Manstein who could pull the trick to activate the medallion which Alice resides then he could only ditch himself in the world without a body for a little longer.

“Thanks to that. But for the purpose of opening the Universe Gate, we have to go to the center of the continent to gather all the remaining material.” Wang Yu reminded Alice.

“Before that, why don’t we discuss this with the people in this city and all of the involved Ye family?” Manstein wanted to propose something in his mind.

The previously mute Ye Yingyuan then asked, “What is the meaning of that, Elder Brother? Is it something dangerous?”

Even Ye Xiaobai then also asked, “Maybe it is to bring the citizen out of the continent?”

This made all of the members of Ye family gasped in shock. Leaving the continent? Is it possible?

Manstein nodded. Because the Intelligence Assistance Device had shown him the countless projects, measurements and even gadgets, plant cultivation and weapon forging improvement, he could pick an artifact that would bring them away from harm. But this was all became the theory and the results were not in the memory of the device.

“Yes, the only problem is if they are willing to leave their birthplace just like this,” Alice said with a concern.

Meanwhile outside Xuan City.

“So what makes you think that I’m the one who hold your sect disciples?” Li Dian asked politely for formality. But the opposite party answered in a cold tone which made Li Dian wonder why they send such a person.

“Because they are here two months ago and even our probing method was not able to locate them. But when we used our method that involved Tracking Dust, we found something interesting.”

The man then continued, with a signal in his hands. Then a hundred of the disciple appeared. Their cultivation was at the peak of Qi Condensation stage and late stage Foundation Establishment stage which was the standard for the sects in the continent.

“They are still young.” Li Dian commented. He did not want to let these young generations to be killed because the war a century ago still left the world a large scar.

“So do you hesitate or have a pity?” the man said coldly as if to enjoy the lament from Li Dian.

“Well, I don’t care either. Better explain it with your strength! All of you, try to attack him to see what tricks he has.” The man just ordered the disciple to attack Li Dian like some cliche villain.

“If you attack me, then you cannot see the true face this man has for you.” Li Dian countered that with his mouth instead. ‘First, that war really is terrible. Judging from his skin and bones, he must be some young master who only sees the world as it is.’

If the younger generation could see the scene of the war a hundred years ago, they would not act like some people that only knew to slander their power everywhere they go.
