Chapter 50: Departure

Inside a cave on a rock wall

Qiye put the two spirit rings into the secret realm safely, the time is pressing, although there are still many items that have not been counted one by one, but now is not the time to be obsessed with wealth.

Now, the cold banner is dead, the wolf soldiers are dead, and the cold spirit city has lost the strong man in charge, and the people must be in turmoil. And the city lords of the neighboring cities of Cold Spirit City will definitely take this opportunity to plunder and expand their occupation. During the time I was in a coma, I believe I have already moved. Soon, it will become a contest for interest among various forces.

Nanaya doesn't want to be drawn into this troubled world, so it's imperative to leave as soon as possible.

Counting the days of his own healing, seven days have passed quietly. After Qiye hurriedly cleaned up, he walked to the mouth of the cave refreshed. Seven days have passed, and the spiritual array arranged at the entrance of the cave has become thin and crumbling, like a soap bubble about to burst.

With one hand, wipe out the spirit array. Qiye walked out of the cave to investigate and there was nothing abnormal around, I don't know where I was, I could only find the general direction of Cold Spirit City, and my footsteps swept away like a gust of wind.

The strength has once again been refined to the 'first level of the battle level': with enough spiritual support, "Shadow Step" has also reached the first level: Ling Bu, peak state! The slight movement of the footsteps can generate wind under the feet, and the body is already a hundred meters away. No matter how hard a spiritual cultivator of the same level pursues it, it is extremely difficult to ride a horse, and he can only look at it from a distance.

Feeling the strong wind caressing the face, the vision turned sharply, Qiye felt a sense of comfort that I had never felt before, as if I could gallop thousands of miles with a little footsteps, and unconsciously speed up my footwork...

After half a pillar of incense, Qiye had flown out of the peaks of the mountains behind the Cold Spirit City and landed on a rock outside the woods on the outskirts of the city.

Looking from afar, at the gate of Hanling City, countless people were in a hurry, carrying large bags and small bags, and horses left the city one after another. Each of the refugees had a sad look on their faces, at a loss, and did not know what to do. The wealthy and powerful clans could join their relatives and friends, but many more civilians wandered from city to city, and the wanderers most likely ended up being captured as slaves. And if you stay, I'm afraid that in the end, you will only expose the corpses in the wilderness.

"It seems that the people in the city already know that the wolf guards are dead, and the cold spirit city is about to be in chaos. I don't know how many people will be innocently involved..."Nanaya muttered, and an indescribable guilt welled up in his heart, if it weren't for the loss of the city lord because he killed the wolf guards in order to save his life, it would not have caused turmoil in the city, and countless innocent people died tragically.

"Hmph, they're just lowly ants. In this world, the weak are not worthy of sympathy. Even if you don't kill the city lord, they will die under other strong people. Regarding the sudden naivety of the seven nights, the Great Protector retorted disapprovingly.

"Isn't there a place in this world where the weak can live?" asked Nanaya, unwilling to do so.

"Yes!" said the Great Protector lightly.

"Where?" Qiye's heart moved and his eyes lit up.

"Hell ...", the Great Protector confided calmly.

"No, I don't believe it... No matter how humble it is, there is a place for everyone in this world. Just like Grandpa Luo Mu said: Everyone is born in this world, not to be slaughtered! I believe: I will definitely find a world where everyone can live equally, there must be! If not... Then, I'll go and create one!" Hearing the words of the Great Protector, Qiye suddenly said in a firm tone. The longing in my heart gave rise to an inexplicable belief that made people admire, so that the Great Protector did not know why, and suddenly lost his mind.

"Hmph, it's up to you, a yellow-mouthed child who has not dried up! I also want to create my own space in this world of the strong..."For some reason, this time the Great Protector rarely did not ridicule, but only sarcastically and painlessly. It seems that there is a touch in his heart because of the words of Qiye just now, so that he who has always been poisonous and arrogant can't bear to blow. Moreover, when a child under the age of ten said such a thing, the Great Dharma Protector was very curious about how Qiye could achieve it.

"Even if my current strength is insignificant, I will try to keep getting stronger and stronger...... Someday, I'll be strong enough to solve anything!" Qiye's eyes were blazing, and his tone was sonorous.

The words of the Great Protector aroused Qiye's heart of not admitting defeat, thinking that he had never despaired in the slave mine camp, let alone now. That serious look surprised the Great Dharma Protector a little by the firm faith of a child of a few years old.

At this moment, the Great Protector is already very sure: the character devoured by the Black Demon Flame, the persistence, has already taken effect. But without the impetus of Seven Nights' own perseverance and tenacious character, the same character devoured by the Black Demon Flame would not be able to fully manifest itself. Only when the two are compatible and mutually reinforcing, will the devourer itself change.

After making up his mind, Nanaya made a choice in his heart as if the dust had settled: to become stronger, strong enough to solve everything!

With this belief, Qiye's eyes suddenly became deep and firm, and his youthful face began to show fortitude. With a goal, the way forward has meaning. Now that you have a choice, let's get started.

However, wanting to be strong is not a casual phrase that you say. Qiye also began to think about how to further improve his strength through various ways. Now, Cold Spirit City can no longer stay, and must find a suitable place to go.

Sitting on the boulder, Qiye rummaged through a map in the Liubei Spirit Ring: this is a map about the Northern Tooth Empire and a corner of the Northern Regions.

The Northern Tooth Empire, with a territory of more than 49.5 million square kilometers and a population of about 2.2 billion:

The empire was divided into 48 'states', which were ruled by 48 first-class royal cities.

In each state, there are 2-3 'prefectures' ranging from the second waiting city.

There is a 'domain' in the palace, which is run by a third-class lord.

The feudal domain also had 'counties', which were ruled by fourth-class county towns.

Under the county is the 'domain', which is governed by a fifth-class castle.

On the map, Hanling Castle is located in an negligible corner of the 'Northern Sakura Domain'. The Water Ghost City, which is also adjacent to Cold Spirit City, is also a microcosm of a small area. To the south of the map, across several large and small cities, there is a city called "Baiyan City", the area on the map is far larger than the surrounding cities several times. This 'White Swallow City' is the third-class lord city in charge of the Northern Sakura Domain.

"If you go here, you should be able to find a way to get stronger..."Nanaya thought seriously as he looked at the map. Cold Spirit City is located in the corner of the polar region, and there is no particularly strong spiritual cultivation, nor does it have more cultivation resources, so it cannot satisfy its urgent desire to advance to stronger strength. Seven Nights naturally set his sights on a city with higher levels and more opportunities.

"Hehe... Naturally, in a wider area, there are more ways to become stronger, but at the same time the danger is also greater. With your kid's current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold. If you are accidentally involved in chaos, you will die and have no place to be buried. Have you thought about it?" said the Great Protector slowly and leisurely in the Heavenly Wheel, but it felt more like a reminder.

"I figured it out, as long as I can improve my strength, even if it's hell, I'll move forward!" Nanaya said very seriously. After hearing this, the Great Dharma Protector fell silent.

Qiye didn't know why the Great Protector asked such a question, and he didn't know if the Great Protector's silence was making his own calculations. But for the choice he made, Seven Nights naturally went all out and moved forward!

After making up your mind and clarifying your direction. Qiye began to prepare for the road, and now he is 9 years old. Although he is thin, he already looks like a little adult. After experiencing too much suffering, life and death, Qiye's heart has long faded from childhood, and has become tenacious and delicate as silk.

Qiye knew that if he wasn't tough enough, he probably wouldn't be able to survive now. If we weren't careful, we wouldn't know where we would have died.

Slapping his butt, jumping off the rock, Seven Nights went straight to the tea shop outside the city. This journey is not short, so it is natural to prepare a horse with good foot strength, and the tea shop that I have been to is naturally a place that can be thought of for seven nights now.

Due to the departure of a large number of refugees, the once bustling tea shops are now crowded and empty. Xiao Er of the tea shop quickly packed his bags at the back curtain and stuffed them to the brim. When he was busy working, he saw someone walking into the tea shop, so he stopped his work and stepped forward to greet him.

"This young master, this shop is no longer in business?"

"I don't drink tea, I just prepare a fast horse, a few clothes and dry food. Qiye said calmly, then stretched out his hand, and turned the back of his hand upside down and handed over two gold coins to the tea hand.

"Is that enough?" asked Nanaya tentatively.

"Enough, enough, enough..."Cha Xiaoer was slightly stunned and then came in surprise, and then quickly and very vaguely took the gold coin, and nodded hurriedly. I didn't expect to meet such a rich man again when the war was in chaos.

"Young master, are you alone?" While taking the gold coin, Cha Xiaoer asked more casually.

"You don't need to know this, go ahead and prepare. Qiye said with a grim look in his eyes.

"Okay, the little one will go and prepare for the young master immediately, you wait a while. Cha Xiaoer was stunned by Qiye's staring for a while, and retreated resignedly.

A moment later, Seven Nights came to the pergola behind the tea shop. Cha Xiaoer hurriedly handed over the two bags that had been prepared: one was filled with a few travel clothes, and the other was full of steamed buns and jerky. Under the pergola, there is also a sturdy and tall jujube horse with a black-brown mane.

After looking at the jujube red horse for a while, Qiye nodded with satisfaction. I didn't know anything about horses, but with the experience of Hanqi and others, I could naturally see the advantages and disadvantages of horses, and I took over the burden of tea second-hand.

Without saying a word, he jumped on his feet and easily climbed onto the back of the tall horse. Seven nights on horseback, although the figure does not look like a horse is very coordinated. After just turning on the horse's back and shaking his body slightly a few times, Qiye quickly stabilized his position. Although he had never ridden a horse, he quickly mastered the physical coordination of riding a horse thanks to his strong physical adaptability.

"Okay, thank you. After walking around the pergola courtyard and basically mastering the skills of horseback riding, Qiye thanked Cha Xiaoer briefly, and then rode away quickly with a whip.

"Young master go slowly..."Looking at the figure that was blowing away from the dust, the corner of Cha Xiaoer's mouth showed a strange smile.

Galloping all the way, seven nights through the woods and fields, jujube red horses tirelessly carry seven nights, running towards the continuous mountains. After walking through the ruined villages of the plains until nightfall, you enter a large mountain.

After a day's rush, the jujube red horse slowed down at this moment, and it looked very tired. It didn't take long, for some reason, to become a little worse for the red horse: it was constantly panting, white foam was flowing from its mouth, and the horse's hooves were becoming more and more unable to lift. Just when Qiye felt that the symptoms of the jujube red horse were getting worse and worse, there was a "bang", and the jujube red horse collapsed to the ground weakly.

"What's going on?" "The moment the horse fell, Nanaya jumped off the horse alertly. Looking at the horse that had fallen after only one day of running, I felt that something was wrong. But now that night had fallen, and it was pitch black, I had to give up my journey for the time being. I have seen the symptoms of the horse, but I once saw the horse herd in the army in the camp and how to heal the horse.

Searching for the experience and memory that the Black Demon Flame had devoured, learning the appearance of the stable, Qiye stepped forward to look at the mouth of the red horse, looked at the snort, and after checking it, he still didn't understand the reason, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, it was really interlaced like a mountain!

When I was thinking about it for seven nights, I vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance. There was silence in the mountains, and the sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer. After a while, Qiye faintly saw in the darkness in the distance with his spiritual pupils, someone holding a torch that seemed to be bright and dark, and was riding a horse towards this side. Although he didn't see his appearance, he was very happy to finally find someone who could help him.
