Chapter 44: The Destined Son-in-Law (6)
Xia Yingyue returned to the Water Cloud Sect to continue her cultivation. She took Xia Chenfeng and several other promising young talents from Green River City with her.
Fang Bubai had also chosen not to join any sect. Thanks to Su Chen's deliberate efforts, the two men—who had once clashed—now shared a bond forged in life-and-death danger. They addressed each other as brothers.
Fang Bubai asked, "Brother Mu, you're really leaving the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Su Chen nodded. "I have something I need to do outside the dynasty first. After that, I plan to join the Profound Origin Sacred Land."
In this life, Su Chen's ambitions went far beyond simply claiming Li Shenhua's inheritance. The Profound Origin Sacred Land itself was his true target.
A sacred land represented the ultimate dream for every martial prodigy in the world. If someone placed a peerless beauty on one side and the chance to enter a martial sacred land on the other, no cultivator would hesitate for even a moment. No matter how stunning the appearance, in a thousand years it would be nothing but dry bones.
Hearing Su Chen's grand aspirations, Fang Bubai felt a surge of admiration and longing. He, too, dreamed of entering a sacred land. Unfortunately, the great secret he carried meant he was destined to walk alone.
"The roads of the martial world are long. Until we meet again."
Su Chen dusted off the seat of his pants and bid Fang Bubai farewell. He was leaving Green River City, leaving the Great Yan Dynasty, to seek out the foundations he had left behind in his previous life.
