________________________________

The day passed quickly, after Shua Xie's matter was over, Shua Xie and Lou Yue went to visit the four big sects. Shua Xie became an esteemed guest to the four big sects, as did Lou Yue because Shua Xie introduced Lou Yue as her Brother.

After their business was done with the great Elders, Shua Xie and Lou Yue paid a visit to Shua Xie's inn and stayed a day there. Shua Xie will leave town with Lou Yue for Lou Yue's hometown tomorrow. Shua Xie was intent on finding out the truth about Lou Yue's mysterious birth as well as looking for some more allies.

Granny nanny Lou Yue said that she got Lou Yue in the river while she was washing clothes. Because Grandma Lou Yue had no children or grandchildren so she raised Lou Yue to be her grandson.

But not long ago when Lou Yue entered the age of 5 years his grandmother died because the village they occupied was attacked by bandits. Lou Yue had escaped from the village to the city, in the city she was forced to work as a slave from one of the merchants for her needs. But not long after the trade went bankrupt, he sold Lou Yue to a dark alliance to provide for them.

Given clearly how Lou Yue's life made Shua Xie stunned as well as stunned. Shua Xie did not expect that Lou Yue was so strong facing her bad destiny. If Shua Xie had faced him, he would not have known what to do.

Shua Xie gave Lou Yue 3 monster spirit stones to absorb as well as Shua Xie. Shua Xie wanted them to leave with a prime state and strong stamina. Moreover, the city they would come to was very far away and was also famous as the residence of bandits and criminals. Although there was Lou Yue who was stronger than him, but if only relying on Lou Yue one would not be able to win against the many enemies. After all Shua Xie did not want to trouble anyone while he was still able to take care of himself.

The day of departure arrived, Lou Yue and Shua Xie said goodbye to Tang Gou before they left. Tang Gou had also prepared some supplies and the 2 horse spirit monsters that Tang Gou had tamed.

Before Shua Xie left he had time to tell Tang Gou to report any important information regarding Lou Zo's troops if any of the inn guests had any information. Tang Gou agreed to Shua Xie's request with pleasure.

Afterwards Shua Xie and Lou Yue left the city at full speed because Shua Xie did not want to linger on the journey. What else Shua Xie was also still thinking about how his family's current state was, he didn't know whether Lou Zo would disturb his family or not. But for sure Shua Xie's feelings are always bad when remembering her family.

- Star Village - - -

Shua Xie and Lou Yue finally arrived at the Star Village when night fell, this village was not like the usual village. This village is mostly inhabited by ordinary humans who do not deepen in cultivation, only city gatekeepers and chieftains who practice cultivation. Lou Yue explained that the Star tribe only accepted ordinary human newcomers in other words not practicing cultivation.

"We didn't stop by the Star Village. Their chieftain strictly forbids accepting cultivators even if they are just resting," Lou Yue said as she stared at Shua Xie waiting for his reply.

Shua Xie stopped his horse while staring at the gate, "I wonder why Star Village doesn't accept Cultivators, do you know what the problem is?" ask Shua Xie.

Lou Yue also explained that once Bintang Village was a big city, but the glory of the city was destroyed due to the attacks of bandits and spirit mustard. That incident had happened hundreds of years ago, finally the chief of the Star Village made the foundation of the sacred formation so that the Cultivators and spirit musters would not easily enter again. Sacred formation

only high-level cultivators were able to destroy it.

Hearing his explanation made Shua Xie sigh, "Yes we have respected the rules of the chieftain, it is not good that we disturb ordinary humans." Shua Xie continued on his way in Lou Yue's tail beside him.

The spirit horses they both ran at medium speed as the horses had already started to get exhausted.

"Shua, is your residence far away?" Lou Yue broke the silence after half a minute of walking there was no conversation between the two of them.

Shua Xie jerked the horse rope, "Yes, very far away. You know this world is divided into three, the Underworld, the Middle and the Upper. My place is in the Middle world."

"really? Are the people there the same as the humans here?"

Shua Xie thought for a moment and replied, "Ehm. Do not know how in the Upper world, but from the knowledge that I know there is one more world where the world is inhabited by 3 tribes. Elves, demons and demons, but I don't know how to get into that world."

"It turns out you know a lot of things out of your head. In the world we never explained that there are three worlds."

"Hahaha .. I know all this thanks to someone. It was he who gave me all the fantasy knowledge," Shua Xie replied alluding to the Master figure he had met.

"Do you know what the piece of the artifact is actually shaped?"

"It looks like a sword, I have one piece of it. Even if it's just a cut but I know that the original shape is a sword."

"When will you return to Middle-earth?" Lou Yue looked at Shua Xie's face from the side. Shua Xie's long hair seemed to be drowned out by the wind.

"So soon, I'm worried about my family there. I'm afraid that Lou Zo will hold my family and make it bait for me" Shua Xie replied, her eyes still focused on looking ahead.

Lou Yue's expression turned moody, "Ehm."

Shua Xie turned to look at Lou Yue while surprising her forehead, "Of course! I'll take you with me if you want. We're both one clan, there's no way that I'll just leave you. But if you don't want to come along I won't make a move either" Shua Xie replied with a serious glare. After that, he focused on looking ahead.

"Shua has something I want to tell you."

"What?"

Lou Yue sighed, "Actually I have something."

"Something what?" shua Xie asked still focused on looking ahead.

"Actually I have-"

"Lou Yue look ahead! There's someone in there!" shua Xie shouted loudly interrupting Lou Yue's words. Shua Xie saw a group of spirit monsters attacking a young man.

'Maybe it's not time for me to tell him.'

Shua Xie pulled one of his swords from the scabbard. Then he stood on the back of a horse that continued to run very fast towards the moster spirit.

"Hey horse, you save that man and take him away from me. I will kill that spirit monster!" pinta Shua Xie on his horse, the horse retorted with his voice.

After getting closer Shua Xie jumped into the air while swinging his sword upwards and came out a red colored light from Shua Xie's sword forming a giant sword spirit that cut the spirit muster.

"Little Holy Sword!"

On the other hand Shua Xie's horse ran to save the young man who had been chased earlier and took him away from the battle area. At the back, Lou Yue had already taken out her weapon that was a spear. Lou Yue poured her spirit power into her spear and then stabbed one by one the other spirit mustard. All of the impaled monsters instantly dried into bones, Lou Yue's spear sucked up all of the monster's spirit energy and transferred it to Lou Yue's dantian.

One by one the spirit monsters died so quickly in Lou Yue's spear. Shua Xie saw that Lou Yue's spear was shocked, he knew that. The skill of absorbing the essence of life, it was born in the demon city. Shua Xie did not know where Lou Yue learned that dangerous skill.

Being too surprised to see Lou Yue's style without being aware of the giant bear spirit monster galloping from behind Shua Xie. Lou Yue saw that directly raising her spear towards Shua Xie.

Shua Xie was only speechless as the spear shot extremely fast past the side of his face. Her hair was hit by the wind of Lou Yue's spear.

Suddenly Lou Yue had already disappeared from her horse and appeared suddenly beside Shua Xie precisely where her spear was hovering. Lou Yue immediately clasped her spear then swung it vertically and came out a pitch-black light that swept over the corpse of the bear spirit's Moster.

"That's fast," muttered Shua Xie in amazement.

After slashing the spirit mustard, Lou Yue immediately flung the tombok towards the back very quickly. After his spear shot Lou Yue immediately grasped Shua Xie's right hand and then moved very quickly to the place where the spear floated.

The sound of a large object falling down made the ground around vibrate. The giant bear spirit beast died in a single slash in its stomach. At the same time Lou Yue and Shua Xie had already moved. All of those events happened within 5 seconds, from displacement, slashing and then moving again.

Lou Yue let go of her grasp, "You take the young man to a safer place, let me block them all," said Lou Yue.

Shua Xie gasped, "Once again such words! Everyone I left never came back. Promise me not to die silly here!" pinta Shua Xie replied a nod by Lou Yue.

Dozens of spirit monsters were getting closer to Lou Yue and Shua Xie. Shua Xie jumped backwards leaving Lou Yue, actually he did not want to leave because Shua Xie also wanted to help. But considering the young man who had to be helped forced him to retreat from the fighting area.

Lou Yue flipped again her spear quickly then appeared suddenly in the place where her spear was hovering. The teleportation technique he used was truly shocking, in a matter of 0.3 seconds he had already moved places quickly.

Lou Yue stabbed 2 spirit monsters at once with her spear and within a matter of 10 seconds the spirit monsters dried leaving behind their bones.

At the same time Shua Xie ran as fast as he could towards his horse, when it was near he jumped up on the horse and rode it as fast as possible away from Lou Yue.

The young man who was being helped was already half conscious on the horse. When the horse was quite far away Shua Xie finally asked the young man's origin.

"Uhuk! Uhuk! I live in the Bintang village," the young man replied with a cough of blood.

"Good not far from here," Shua Xie muttered as he jerked the horse rope.

"What's your friend gonna be okay?"

"Let's just calm he's a strong man! He won't die that easily" Shua Xie replied, eyes still staring forward with a serious look.
