Open up and break into another world

Having comprehended nine strands of Intent, Xu Ming’s true strength undoubtedly soared. If he casually activated some new features from Version 2.0 of the External Cheat System, Xu Ming would probably be a formidable existence even among those at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm!

Of course, the gap between him and Ao Wanya was still immeasurably vast!

“I wonder if Ao Wanya has left…”

If Ao Wanya hadn't left, Xu Ming wouldn't dare show his face and would have to continue staying put.

“Little Cheat, how many Cheat Points to scout Ao Wanya’s location?”

“Thirty thousand Level-3 Cheat Points!”

“That’s expensive!” Xu Ming cursed inwardly—a master's worth was indeed high; merely scouting his location cost so many Cheat Points.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and decided to try a different scouting method: “Little Cheat, how many Cheat Points to scout for any traces of Ao Wanya within a thousand miles?”

“One thousand Level-3 Cheat Points!”

“That price is acceptable!—Help me scout!”

Immediately, the scouting results came back: “Scouting complete. No traces of Ao Wanya within a thousand miles!”

“None!?” Xu Ming was overjoyed.

A thousand miles was already a very large area.

After running for thousands of miles, Ao Wanya still hadn't caught up, and Xu Ming was truly relieved.

“It seems that Ao Wanya has really left! However, his patience is a bit lacking; he only guarded me for a day and couldn't wait any longer; I originally thought he would at least guard me for ten days or half a month!”

Xu Ming was only gloating now that he had escaped.

Afterward, Xu Ming detoured slightly and chose another route back to the Savage Sect.

Xu Ming was so cautious because he was worried that Ao Wanya would lie in wait for him on the road.

…

Inside the Savage Sect.

The atmosphere was unusually heavy.

On ordinary days, the Savage Sect was usually very lively, and laughter could be heard everywhere. But now, the entire Savage Sect was shrouded in an atmosphere of deathly stillness, and not even a smile could be found.

Gu Kongshan’s residence.

Gu Kongshan lay on the bed, his face devoid of color, still unconscious.

Gu Hanmo sat blankly beside him, her lively, expressive eyes now completely empty and lifeless.

Gu Hanmo wasn't too worried about her father, Gu Kongshan. Although Gu Kongshan was currently unconscious, he would definitely be fine after a few days; moreover, with the powerful physique of a Spirit Realm cultivator, there was no need to worry about any sequelae.

“Xu Ming, how are you now…”

Gu Hanmo was truly worried about Xu Ming, of course.

Could Xu Ming escape?—Reason told Gu Hanmo that it was impossible! After all, Ao Wanya was too strong; in front of Ao Wanya, they were all ants!

“Ao Wanya probably won't kill Xu Ming, but will use more cruel methods to torture him for a long time…” Gu Hanmo was anxious and helpless; she was too weak!

But gradually, Gu Hanmo's eyes became firm: “After Dad recovers, if Xu Ming still hasn't been able to escape, then I will go to…that place!—Xu Ming, endure it, I will definitely rescue you from Ao Wanya's hands! I swear!”

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in her ear: “Hanmo.”

Gu Hanmo's eyes remained empty, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The gentle voice sounded again: “Hanmo.”

“Huh?” This time, Gu Hanmo finally reacted a little, “Could it be a hallucination?”

In the past few days, Gu Hanmo had hallucinated Xu Ming's voice countless times. But every time she got up happily to see if Xu Ming had really returned, she was met with disappointment.

Gradually, disappointment piled up into despair.

This time, Gu Hanmo thought she was hallucinating again.

However, when that familiar and gentle voice sounded for the second time, Gu Hanmo couldn't help but move.

Immediately afterward, the various wonderful changes occurred in Gu Hanmo's empty eyes in an instant.

First, a daze—obviously, she didn't expect to actually see Xu Ming's figure.

Then, joy.

But immediately afterward, it turned into disbelief—how could Xu Ming possibly return?

However, in the end, Gu Hanmo still held a glimmer of hope and tremblingly stretched out her right hand, trying to touch this “illusion of Xu Ming.”

This touch…

“Huh!?” Gu Hanmo was stunned, “Why can I touch him? Could it be…”

Gu Hanmo's empty eyes suddenly filled with light.

“Xu Ming!!”

At this moment, Gu Hanmo no longer cared about her reserve and directly pounced on him.

“Xu Ming!!”

The newest novel is at 69shuba!

Tears couldn't help but flow down.

Xu Ming hugged Gu Hanmo and gently patted her back, without saying a word.

Gu Hanmo's body was very soft, and it was comfortable to hug her. But at this moment, Xu Ming's mind was obviously not on this soft and fragrant jade.

After a long while.

Gu Hanmo released the hug, held Xu Ming's face, and carefully looked at him, afraid that everything in front of her was an illusion.

“How did you come back?” Gu Hanmo asked.

“Luck! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back so quickly.”

If he had been taken back to Wanya Pavilion by Ao Wanya, it would have taken Xu Ming a lot more effort to escape. Yu Mo and the others' sneak attack on Ao Wanya gave Xu Ming a chance to escape.

Gu Hanmo didn't ask much, because she already sensed everything.

“How is the Sect Master?”

“His energy is overdrawn, and it will probably take some time before he can wake up,” Gu Hanmo said.

Xu Ming directly threw a Revitalization Technique over.

Immediately, green light surrounded Gu Kongshan.

However, Gu Kongshan was now a Spirit Realm cultivator, and the healing effect of the Revitalization Technique was obviously very ordinary.

But even if it was ordinary, it still had some effect!

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Kongshan opened his eyes weakly; the first thing he saw was Xu Ming.

However, at this time, Gu Kongshan didn't have the strength to say much, and only weakly uttered four words: “Good to be back…”

“Sect Master, I'm fine, you should rest well!”

Gu Kongshan slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully. Now that Xu Ming had returned, he was relieved.

Xu Ming also instructed Little Cheat to add a bunch of Revitalization Techniques to Gu Kongshan, the effects of which would last until tomorrow.

Then, Xu Ming said to Gu Hanmo: “I'm going to a place where you won't be able to contact me for the time being. But don't be nervous, I'll be out soon.”

“Where are you going?” Gu Hanmo asked nervously.

Xu Ming said: “I'll tell you when I get back—don't worry, there's no danger! On the contrary, for me, that's the safest place!”

The place Xu Ming was going to was naturally the Misty Rain Battleship!

He couldn't wait to go in and find out whether Little Yellow could beat Ao Wanya.

If it could, then if Ao Wanya came to the Savage Sect again, Xu Ming would directly lead him to the Misty Rain Battleship.
