Li Gang self introspected after the battle!

'I was lucky that he was injured in his foot, otherwise killing rank 3 Warrior would have been difficult! It seems Spirit Dragon Clan is hunting me down. It must be due to the fact that I ignored their majesty and entered the portal before them. But it is good that I knew about it beforehand. I was suspicious before too, but being suspicious and having a confirm judgement is like a huge difference even though it seems not much different. Now enemy is in bright, and I am in the dark, I can make use of this fact to loot them properly! If you want to kill me, then you should be prepared to loose something.'

As he was thinking these, he also took out all the possession of Long Xuan meanwhile. He looked through all space rings Long Xuan possessed, he was surprised to see that Long Xuan was too poor.

Li Gang murmured. "Why is my luck so bad here? The great Spirit Dragon Clan Warrior doesn't possess anything more valuable than this grade 4 Sword? It's a pity that I don't use sword, but it can be used to deceive others!"

What Li Gang didn't know is that those great clans and sects have hierarchical divisions and only based on their contributions, they are awarded with these Spirit Weapons and other resources.

Li Gang collected the Beastly Core, and thought. 'Removing traces is quite time taking. No one is going to find me with just these traces anyway. As long as I remove the traces of poisons in these traps and his body, it would be fine!'

Then, he started burning the body of Long Xuan, he didn't left till he watched with his own eyes his body turning to ashes. After that he removed all possible traces of poisons he has left nearby. Then he immediately started moving in the opposite direction of the River flow.

'I have been travelling through these rivers all this while, but met only few people, it is very likely that most people are teleported in the opposite direction. I have wasted a lot of time, they may have gathered their allies and may even have found the inheritance!'

As he thought of this, Li Gang continued his journey towards deep into the forest, in the direction opposite to the flow of River.

At the same time, somewhere in the Small World in a certain Cave.

Wang Xueyao looked into the void in a certain direction, and said. "Come out!"

A sudden surge of Spiritual Essence filled the cave, as a Man with immortal like temperament appeared. But, despite this, he looked at Wang Xueyao humbly and said.

"As expected of the Great ######## #######, someone like me can't comprehend you!"

Wang Xueyao looked at him and said coldly. "Have you been targeting 'him' all along?"

The man said. "What can I do? It is the order from above. We have to eliminate all the variables that may cause threat to this world."

Wang Xueyao looked at him with a frown and said. "He isn't a threat at this moment. He doesn't even possess 'Special Ability'. How did you judge him as a threat? You should be aware of that, since as an in charge to this 'place', you should be able to monitor each and every existence here, even their..." She paused and didn't continue.

The man looked at her and said with a deep and unquestionable tone. "Whether he possesses them or not, it is my duty to eliminate all the Variables, no matter how insignificant."

She suddenly changed the topic. "I don't care what hindrance you cause him, but as long as you don't go too extreme I won't care. I hope you understand what I meant, after all he is the husband I approved!"

The man was shocked and immediately sweated. "Then, if he is under your care, I wouldn't even dare to cause slightest harm to him."

Wang Xueyao rejected it immediately. "Don't think too much, he is just 'my' husband."

The man immediately understood her implication. "Okay, I understand!" Saying that, he left. Wang Xueyao looked at the void where the man disappeared and smiled coldly.

"Do you think I don't know what those 'guys' are plotting? Although these Wanderers are sent here as a threat to this world, the main reason 'they' are targeting them is for those 'fragments'."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

At the same time, in a void, a sigh of relief sounded.

"Finally got rid of her. Even though she is just a #####, she is terrifying! I couldn't even stand her murderous aura! Since she doesn't mind, then there is no need to change plans. I don't know what she is thinking, but as long as it doesn't hinder the 'bigger plan' it won't matter anyway."

18 months later, Somewhere in the Forest

5th September, Year 42020 of Elemental Era

An average size camp was formed, and the area was bustling. Many people chattering and many were excited.

In a certain tent, a young man opened his eyes. He sighed.

"I still didn't reach rank 3 peak stage, but I am only half step away. In a few weeks, I will definitely reach."

This is a camp of Azure Mountain locals. Here, Wang family, Li family, and many other small villages have set up their own camp separately, but together at the same time.

Li Yuxong came out of his tent and saw many people standing there. He looked at Li Cheng and asked.

"What happened Uncle Cheng?"

Li Cheng replied in a solemn voice.

"The Shadow Phoenix Sect has executed Li Gang, they have sent his head to Spirit Dragon Clan, in exchange for 50 Soul Stones!"

Li Yuxong was shocked. "What?"

His eyes turned red, and subconsciously tears welled up, and even his voice cracked. He fell at his knees and said tremblingly: "How? How can Big Brother fall? I don't believe it is possible. Say Uncle Cheng, is it possible that they faked this?"

Li Cheng looked at Li Yuxong and said: "I am afraid not, young master Xong. He was brutely murdered by that bastard from Shadow Phoenix faction around 6 months ago."

There is lot of distance between their faction and Shadow Phoenix faction, an so, it took so long for the information to reach them!

Li Yuxong wiped his tears and said in a deep and firm voice. "I promise, I will avenge him. I will kill anyone who harmed him."

Li Cheng sighed. That day the entire camp was filled with serious environment, after all Li Gang was the son of the Village head.

Next day, Li Yuxong came to Li Cheng and said: "Uncle Cheng, I will leave today for a journey. I will look for opportunities on my own."

Li Cheng was shocked and immediately denied. "No, young master Xong, you can't do this. The Li family will depend on you. I can't let you do something so dangerous."

Li Yuxong said deeply. "I am not requesting you Uncle Cheng. I respect you, so please don't stop me. I have decided, I will now go on journey alone."

Li Cheng realised that Li Yuxong has made up his mind and sighed as he thought of Li Hao. 'Forgive me Senior brother Hao, I can no longer take care of him.'

He said. "Ok, but you have to be careful and return safely."

Li Yuxong nodded and immediately collected everything he would need. Then, he went to one of the tent and asked. "Is the map available?"

The man said: "Yes young master, there are still 23 pieces available."

Li Yuxong nodded and took one of them and started leaving.

As he was leaving, he heard many people's murmuring.

"Li Gang was the son of the Village head, Li Minghui. It's a pity that he didn't possess as good of a talent as Li Yuxong."

"Yes, if he had even B grade talent, may be he wouldn't have been caught."

"23"

"He was also a humble person, I hope God give his soul peace."

After living for over an year in this environment, Li Yuxong has learnt many things. Even about the true inheritance that will open within 3 years.

He looked at the map in his hand and started planning the future journey.

1 year ago, the map of the small world was somehow leaked and made available to everyone. Now, everyone knows where the camp of each factions are and even the inheritance.

The true inheritance is at the center of this small world, from where countless streams of rivers spread throughout this world like roots of a tree.

At the top of the map, camp of Spirit Dragon Clan, Shadow Phoenix Sect and Moonlight Sect is present, while at the bottom, Thunderous Peak sect and the camp of Azure Mountain faction are present. Azure Mountain faction was created 3 months after the map was leaked. But there are still over 30% of people who didn't join because they are unaware about it. Even if you get a map, if you are not aware of which location you are currently at, the map will be entirely useless to you.

There are also many regions marked here, and some dangerous regions are also marked.

The place where Li Yuxong is moving towards is one marked 23. Each region here is marked with a number. The region number 20-25 lies between Thunderous Peak Sect faction and Azure Mountain faction.

As he was moving towards his destination, he suddenly saw a young man with few people going in the same direction. Li Yuxong was shocked, and immediately yelled.

"Big brother stop!"

The party was surprised and everyone turned back to look at the source of the sound. But Li Yuxong's momentarily happiness turned into sadness as the young man turned.

There were three members in the party. A young man, and two middle aged man. One of the middle aged man was quite thin, and another one was burly.

Li Yuxong murmured. "He is not him."

He immediately apologized. "I am sorry, I mistook you to another person."

The young man looked at him and said cheerfully. "It's fine. It seems you are separated with your elder brother."

Li Yuxong responded with smile. "Yes, I am separated." He could no longer continue.

The young man introduced himself.

"Common, don't worry about it. You will soon meet. If you are going to the same direction, then would you like to come with us? I am Ren Ying, and these are our partners."

Li Yuxong also mentioned. "I am Li Yuxong, native of Azure Mountain."

The slim middle aged man also introduced. "My name is Jin Lei, and this is my partner Cao Wei. We are lone cultivators."
