Chapter 43: The Martial World
Li Fan had been cultivating for a long time, and even after nightfall, he continued his cultivation.
However, a calm had settled within him; the soul of the Jiao Long and the Demon Core assisted him in refining his Martial Spirit, but Li Fan would still need time to digest all this.
Wen Ruyu had been sitting nearby guarding him. At this moment, he opened his eyes and withdrew the Sword Intent surrounding Fulong Manor, and everything seemed to return to normal.
Li Hongyi saw this and knew that all was settled. He said to Wen Ruyu, "Senior, I’m going out for a moment. If Li Fan wakes up and asks, just tell him I’m out looking for my father."
Wen Ruyu glanced at Li Hongyi and nodded, "Alright."
"Thank you, Senior." With that, Li Hongyi headed outside Fulong Manor, while Liu Ji still remained by Li Fan’s side, or perhaps she was guarding something other than Li Fan.
Li Hongyi left Fulong Manor, and the night in Lin’an County was as quiet as ever. The demons had disappeared as if retreating overnight, yet the people were still anxious, with no one daring to venture out.
She recalled Wen Ruyu’s words in her mind, full of talk about righteousness and morality, but behind it all were acts of devouring others.
The entire demonic chaos, it turned out, was just a pretext to deal with Li Mountain, costing countless innocent lives in Lin’an County.
Smiting demons, at this moment, sounded especially ironic.
Li Hongyi’s heart was conflicted. Returning home, she found her father absent, which filled her with unease.
