Open up and break into another world

The Barbaric Sect was as peaceful and serene as ever.

And the disciples living in the Barbaric Sect were mostly quite happy — although there was competition within the Barbaric Sect, it wasn't as blatant and bloody as in other factions.

Gu Hanmo sat blankly by the windowsill, staring out the window in a daze.

In the past few months, Gu Hanmo had lost count of how many times she had sat there foolishly.

The other disciples in the sect thought that Gu Hanmo, with her noble status, must be living a very happy life. Only Gu Hanmo herself knew how lonely and helpless she had been these past few months!

"I wonder how Xu Ming is doing in the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain…"

Gu Hanmo had never been to the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain, but in her mind, it was a place rife with demons and dangers.

"Xu Ming, you must come back safe and sound!"

Fortunately, before Xu Ming left, he left Gu Hanmo a communication treasure worth ten million Grade-2 Guadian.

Although this communication treasure could only transmit simple signals of "Danger" and "Safe," it allowed Gu Hanmo and Xu Ming to stay in contact — every time Gu Hanmo sent a message, it was "Safe"; and every time Xu Ming replied, it was also "Safe."

Yet, even so, Gu Hanmo couldn't help but worry.

After all, that was the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain, a place teeming with demons! Xu Ming's strength when he left was probably only average in the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain, so how could Gu Hanmo not worry?

But in reality, Gu Hanmo's worries were completely unnecessary!

To be precise, Gu Hanmo was worrying about the wrong person — she didn't need to worry about Xu Ming at all; instead, she should be worrying about the "demons" in the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain!

Gu Hanmo had no idea what kind of chaos Xu Ming had stirred up in the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain! In fact, the entire Dao-Seeking Demon Domain would cease to exist because of Xu Ming!

And at this moment, Gu Hanmo was still worrying about Xu Ming?

Couldn't she have a little sympathy!? Couldn't she pity the others a little?

Oh, right, Gu Hanmo still didn't know about Xu Ming's "glorious deeds" in the Dao-Seeking Demon Domain.

Suddenly, Gu Hanmo felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"This is…?"

Through this sensation, a figure that Gu Hanmo had been longing for suddenly flashed in her mind — Xu Ming!

"Xu Ming is back?" Gu Hanmo was a little surprised — after all, it had only been a few months since Xu Ming left!

Gu Hanmo had originally thought that Xu Ming's departure would last for years, or even decades! After all, Ao Wanya's strength was too terrifying; Xu Ming shouldn't return until he had enough confidence to deal with him!

"Could it be that I'm sensing it wrong?" Gu Hanmo and Xu Ming had a very tacit telepathic connection.

For example, they could both know what the other was thinking; also, when the two were relatively close, they could sense each other's presence.

But this time, Gu Hanmo couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about her own perception.

"Or is it that Xu Ming secretly came back to see me?"

Regardless, Gu Hanmo immediately rushed out.

But when she rushed to the side of the Ten Thousand Steps, she suddenly froze.

Wasn't the person she had been thinking about day and night right below the Ten Thousand Steps?

Xu Ming, of course, also noticed Gu Hanmo's sudden appearance. The two of them stood facing each other across the Ten Thousand Steps, not knowing what to say for a long time.

But for them, were words even necessary?

As long as they saw each other's eyes, they would understand everything!

"Eh? Brother Ming, what's wrong?" Hei Da, Xing Wu, and the others noticed that Xu Ming had suddenly frozen and couldn't help but ask curiously.

But in the next instant, they saw Brother Ming disappear before their eyes!

"Where's Brother Ming? Where did he go?"

Soon, Hei Da and the others found Xu Ming's figure at the top of the Ten Thousand Steps.

Xu Ming stood quietly in front of Gu Hanmo; at this moment, even the dense demonic aura on his body seemed to become incredibly docile.

"I'm back!" After a long while, Xu Ming finally uttered four words.

The two remained silent, simply embracing each other tightly as if no one else was around.

"Xu Ming, he…"

"Brother Ming, he…"

This scene, falling into the eyes of Xing Wu and Shen Bing, immediately dimmed.

"So, Xu Ming already has someone he loves…" Xing Wu thought to herself, "No wonder he has always been indifferent to my hints, and even avoiding me a little…"

"Sister Xing Wu!" Shen Bing quietly transmitted her voice.

Because they both liked Xu Ming, Xing Wu and Shen Bing, two female martial artists whose strength and status differed greatly, had unknowingly formed a sisterhood in private.

"Little Bing, don't be too sad!" Although Xing Wu herself was terribly sad, she still comforted Shen Bing.

"Sad?" Shen Bing was stunned, "Why should I be sad?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Eh?" This time, it was Xing Wu's turn to be stunned.

"It's normal for someone as outstanding as Brother Ming to have someone he loves, isn't it?" Shen Bing said matter-of-factly, "Besides, who says that a loved one can only be one? It can also be two, three, ten, a hundred…"

"Uh…" Xing Wu suddenly realized that what Shen Bing said made a lot of sense.

After a long time, Xu Ming and Gu Hanmo separated from their embrace, but their hands were still holding each other.

"Everyone, come up!" Xu Ming greeted towards the bottom of the Ten Thousand Steps.

At this time, some people in the Barbaric Sect also noticed that Xu Ming had returned.

The news immediately spread!

Instantly, the Barbaric Sect exploded!

…

Wanya Pavilion.

Pavilion Master Ao Wanya had no idea that Xu Ming had already returned.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being.

Because, at this time, Ao Wanya was in secluded cultivation, striving to reach the Dao Lord level!

"Still a little short!"

After another round of cultivation, the sweat on Ao Wanya's body was even more than after a life-and-death battle, which shows how difficult the cultivation was!

"It's really too difficult to plant the 'seed of the Dao'! When will I ever reach the Dao Lord level!" Ao Wanya sighed.

"Don't rush!" At this time, a golden little mouse next to Ao Wanya's feet actually spoke, "Your understanding of the Heavenly Dao of Gold is still very good! With my careful guidance, breaking through to the Dao Lord level is only a matter of time!"

If there were people present who knew a lot about the knowledge of demon beasts, they would definitely recognize that this golden little mouse was the extremely rare and uncommon Gold-Devouring Rat among the rat-type demon beasts.

However, this Gold-Devouring Rat in front of them was no ordinary rat — this was a Dao Lord level Gold-Devouring Rat!

"After you break through to the Dao Lord level, don't forget to help me with something!" The Gold-Devouring Rat continued, "This matter is related to a big secret! Of course, after it's done, you're guaranteed to have great benefits!"

"Won't forget, won't forget!" Ao Wanya said repeatedly.

"Hmph!" The Gold-Devouring Rat snorted very humanly, "I'll measure whether you dare to forget!"
