Ding Mei took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yang. "Actually, there's another reason why I left Monarch City. They looked down on me. After the Alchemy Guild found out about my identity, they secretly took back my alchemist identity. The Jing Clan also kicked me out. The righteous path can't tolerate me. As for the evil path, I want to kill them all …"
Zhou Yang finally opened his eyes and looked at Ding Mei.
"Zhou Yang, we're very similar. The righteous path can't tolerate you and the evil path can't tolerate you either. However, you're lucky that you have someone behind you. As for me … who will protect someone like me …" Ding Mei shook her head and turned to leave.
"Me!"
That one word caused Ding Mei's entire body to tremble and her footsteps to stop.
Field Mouse and Magpie Lady also looked at Zhou Yang in surprise. They knew Zhou Yang. He wasn't a sentimental person and he wasn't a compassionate person. But why did he make an exception for Ding Mei …
"Thank you, Zhou Yang. However, we're not the same kind of people." Ding Mei shook her head.
"Wrong. We're the same kind of people. Plus, I've never pitied you. There are countless people in this world who have suffered. There are many who are more miserable than you. I can't even take care of myself. I don't have time to pity you …"
"Then why did you give me the Star Crystal?"
"Because I think you're a good alchemist and a good martial artist. As long as you're willing to follow me and take me as your master, in the future, whether it's the righteous path or the evil path, they won't be able to tolerate you."
Ding Mei was stunned. She turned to look at Zhou Yang.
As long as you can't tolerate them, they won't tolerate you …
What kind of heroic spirit was that?
"Why do you say that?" Ding Mei looked at Zhou Yang.
"Because I'm living a better life than you. One month. Follow me for one month. If you think I'm boasting, you can leave." Zhou Yang smiled.
"One month …" Ding Mei frowned.
"Miss Ding, opportunities in this world are fleeting. Zhou Yang is your opportunity," Field Mouse also looked at Ding Mei.
Ding Mei thought for a while. She looked at Magpie Lady and then at Field Mouse. Then, she walked in front of Zhou Yang and said, "Okay, I'll follow you for one month. But unless you surpass me in alchemy, don't think about becoming my disciple."
"You will become my disciple."
Zhou Yang smiled and began to meditate again. Ding Mei sat to the side and stared at Zhou Yang without blinking.
Time passed quickly. The next night, the three of them had recovered a little from their injuries. Zhou Yang knew that it was time to part ways with Vole.
Under the waning moon, the strong wind was chilly!
"Do you have any plans?" Zhou Yang asked, looking at the waning moon in the sky.
"Plan? Now that the Snake King has been dealt with, I am the Yao King of this area. I might stay here for a while, but not too long, "said Field Mouse with a smile.
"Why isn't he following Black Demon King?" asked Zhou Yang curiously.
Vole shook his head: "He didn't even take the Black Water Mystical Snake King with him, do you think he would want a half-demon like me?"
"They left?"
"That's right. After the battle at the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect, Black Demon King brought his direct descendants and left the south. I'm guessing they went to the triangular belt …"
The triangular belt was the only border between the three kingdoms. It was adjacent to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and was a lawless area. Many experts were gathered there, preparing to pass through the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the Land of Chaos. It was extremely dangerous …
"Now that I think about it, I was still too naive. I thought they were just ordinary demons, but after knowing the Snake King's True Body, I realized that they were far more mysterious than I thought," said Field Mouse with a sigh.
"Would you believe me if I said I know some of their origins?" asked Zhou Yang with a smile.
"I would. They seem to be paying special attention to you."
Zhou Yang thought about it and told Field Mouse about the Black Scale Cave.
"So they are demons that were sealed. No wonder they suddenly appeared here and subdued all the demons and evil sects in the vicinity of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect and the Crushed Stone Plains in such a short time …"
"Do you know what their goal is?" asked Zhou Yang.
"I know that they have been asking us to find some antiques. They seem to be using them to recover their strength. It's strange that many of those antiques are useless to us, but they can use them to recover their strength …"
Zhou Yang nodded. Black Demon King, Famish Demon, and Perverted Demon had been sealed for so many years, so their strength had naturally declined. The true strength of these demons was probably far greater than what they had shown at the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect.
The same went for Black Cat.
"How much do you know about the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect?"
Field Mouse frowned and said after a while, "There are two goals. The first is for Qing Huo. They value Qing Huo very much, and the condition for Qing Huo to join them is to destroy the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. The second goal might be the Seven Star Ancient Sword …"
"I'm afraid it's not just that. There should be royalty too."
"Royalty …" Vole thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I remember now. The Tiger King once said that someone had given them countless cultivation resources and asked them to destroy the Tiangang Sword Sect. I thought it was also Qing Huo, but now it seems that it should be the royalty."
"Looks like Black Demon King got a bargain …"
Zhou Yang smiled. He guessed that Black Demon King had attacked the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect because of Qing Huo, and the deal with the royalty was just in passing. Since they were going to be destroyed, they naturally wouldn't mind an additional reward.
"This royalty is really killing the donkey when it's no longer of use. In the past, they relied on the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect to conquer the world, but now they are a thorn in their side," said Field Mouse with a smile.
"It's been like this since ancient times. There's nothing strange about it." Zhou Yang sighed. This time, the royalty could be said to have succeeded. Qingyun was dead, the Seven Star Ancient Sword was destroyed, and the Third Prince had dismembered the five peaks from the inside. Now, the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect was like a broken temple in a storm. It could collapse at any time!
"Zhou Yang, I know about your situation and won't persuade you. I just hope that you won't be alone. If there's anything I can help with, tell me. You and I are brothers," said Field Mouse as he looked at Zhou Yang.
"I will. One day, we brothers will fight together. When that time comes, it won't just be you and me." Zhou Yang smiled as Guo Dazhuang's figure appeared in his mind. He really looked forward to meeting Guo Dazhuang again.
"I'll wait for that day."
With that said, Field Mouse took out a fiery-red Blood Core and said, "This is the 400-year-old Blood Core that Snake King obtained from the Gu King's legacy ruins."
"You need it more than I do." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Brother, my harvest this time is much greater than yours. Not to mention such a large territory, just Snake King's storage ring is enough for me to cultivate for a long time. If you don't take anything, I will feel guilty."
"Haha …"
Zhou Yang laughed out loud and no longer acted pretentiously. After putting away the Blood Core, the two turned around and separated.
