Chapter 385: Destiny Pattern (I)
Lin Zheyu stayed in Guanghua City for about half a month.
After some time, he realized that there was not much difference between the main sect and the eight branches. The treatment of inner sect disciples was slightly better in the main sect, but for true disciples, it was about the same. As long as one displayed sufficiently strong natural talent and aptitude, it did not really matter where one was.
"Junior Brother, won’t you stay a few more days?" Liang En urged outside Guanghua City.
Liang En had a good temperament and was deeply devoted to martial cultivation, though somewhat simple-minded. Over the past dozen days, Lin Zheyu had formed a solid friendship with him.
"No, I am more comfortable staying at Azure Tide Pavilion. You can come find me there when you have time. It would be best if you brought Senior Sister Baoyu along. Anyhow, it’s getting late. Senior Brother, we will meet again." Lin Zheyu waved with a smile and turned to dash into the forest.
Finding a deserted place, Lin Zheyu changed his clothes, and his figure gradually shifted until he became an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
"I will wander around and see if I can find a few powerful demon puppets to test my abilities."
Lin Zheyu grinned, a simple and honest smile appearing on his middle-aged face.
He determined the direction and headed toward Wuling City.

In the deep mountains, hunters and herb gatherers were rarely seen. Instead, small squads of three or more martial artists and soldiers occasionally appeared. They had come to search for the traces of demon puppets and eliminate them.
The nearby space-time nodes have not been opened. Where did so many demon puppets come from? Lin Zheyu wondered.
