The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Right. I'll be leaving now." The fairy nodded. It was true that she was paying a hefty amount of prospects just by staying here. She was not from this Dark Train, so she was actually forbidden in this place, "But I will be looking forward for that battle."

After saying that, she disappeared instantly. The old man was left and looked at a distant horizon, "Yeah, me too. That battle will be the grandest of all ages."

Jin Rou was traveling in an unknown desert. Sylvianna told him she was exhausted so she decided to return to her personal space. Now, Jin Rou was trying to find a way out of this large desert.

The desert's sand was color gray. Usually, it should be golden or whitish, but here the color was different. Three suns were at the sky making the area hotter.

He successfully arrived in Mortalis. Han Li was very familiar with this energy and this could only be found in Mortalis.

Several hours passed, he saw some carriages traveling to a certain direction. Since their speed was a bit slow, he decided to walk over to them and asked, "Hi, friends. Can you take me with you? I'm lost and I don't know where to start."

A middle-aged man with a beard observed Jin Rou and said, "You are new here?"

"Yes, I experimented some warps and accidentally got here." Jin Rou wryly smiled. He was getting adept in inventing reasons, "I will appreciate it if you can take me with you."

"Of course, we can. However, we will charge you since nothing is free in this world." The middle-aged man said.

"This..." Jin Rou's mouth twitched. He didn't have any money in his possession so how could he pay?, "Can you just put it on my tab and I'll pay you later? Honestly speaking, I lost my money on the way."

"That's too bad, then. We cannot take you." The middle-aged man shook his head. He was firm with his principles, "You can try the group of carriages after us. The distance might be a few hours away from us."

"I see." Jin Rou didn't want to push further when he heard a voice inside the carriage, "Old man, let the guy hop in. I will be paying for him."

"Oh? How generous of you." The middle-aged man raised his brow and nodded at Jin Rou, "You heard that man, right? Come and hop in. We will be going now."

Jin Rou smiled and entered the carriage. There were many packs of sacks inside and by observing it, Jin Rou assumed it was some kind of metals. There were three people inside. And only one man there was. Well, it was two now.

"Thank you for that." Jin Rou talked to the man who probably paid for his fee.

"No problem." The man was wearing a mask and brown coat so he couldn't be distinguished. But in Jin Rou's eyes, he was already been seen through, "We are fellow cultivators, we have to help each other."

"Indeed. But, can you tell me what is this place? I'm ready unfamiliar with this." Jin Rou asked wryly.

"Hmm, this place is called Sharan Desert. It is located here at the Southern King Region..." The masked man explained.

It turned out that this Sharan Desert was part of the Southern King Region, and Han Li was very familiar with this region. He went here multiple times for something in the past.

Mortalis was divided into 5 regions. Southern King Region, Northern Queen Region, Western Emperor Region, Eastern Empress Region and lastly, the Central God Region. Each region was bigger than Thousand Realms and Dark Train combined, so you could imagine how large it was.

Traveling it by foot was impossible too since even if you travel at the speed of light, it would take you several years before reaching the border. Thus, usually warps were very vital here.

Jin Rou's destination was the Central God Region, but it was no rush. He would take his time getting used to this world first before anything else. Since he knew that he was in this region, he already made plans of what to do. After all, he was too familiar with all the places here except the desert. Perhaps Han Li didn't give a damn about the desert in the past thus he didn't explore it.

"If you don't have somewhere to stay on, you can come with me temporarily." The masked man thought that Jin Rou was worried about his situation thus he offered his good will, "You can pay me back whenever you have the means to do so."

Jin Rou could not sense any malice from the other party and nodded, "Thanks in advance, then."

"I will be going to Blue Hymn Sect to accomplish their single request there." After getting out of the carriage, they finally reached their destination, "After that, I will be going for my official reason why I'm here. You can follow me."

The Hymn Town. It was a town under the jurisdiction of Blue Hymn Sect, a third-rate sect in the Southern King Region.

"A request?" Jin Rou was curious.

"The Blue Hymn Sect is requesting for help against the Beast Rampage going on in their vicinity." The masked man said, "And I was tasked to go there. The sect has already paid for the fee so it will be a shame if our organization doesn't hold the end of our deal."

Jin Rou didn't pry further and asked, "What is your name, by the way?"

"You can call me Linggu." Linggu responded, "And what should I call this brother?"

"Just Jin will do." Jin Rou answered. He was rarely polite towards other people these days, but this masked man earned it for himself.

"Brother Jin, then." Linggu nodded. He was also respectful of the privacy of Jin Rou as he didn't ask anything regarding his background. He was probably well raised by his family.

After walking for an hour, they finally reached the Blue Hymn Sect.
