A Journey Against the World
Chapter 68

3 Weeks Later ....

Shua Xie pensively looked at the blue sky with a cold view, since the incident 3 weeks ago the nature of Shua Xie changed dramatically, usually he spoke very often but now Shua Xie was more silent and cold towards everyone. Until this moment Shua Xie still blamed her weak self, she felt because she was weak she could not protect the person she wanted to protect, and it made her very upset and always felt guilty.

Phoe had reminded him many times that Shu Chin's death was not his fault, all humans would arrive when he was about to die, and that it was inevitable as was the fate of every living being. Nothing is eternal in the world, in the end they will leave when the time has come.

Shua Xie understood that, but he still could not accept his own mistakes. No matter how he tried to forget the incident, it still mengiang in his head. One thing right now that was firmly planted in his heart, was revenge on Lou Zo for what he did.

"I want to be strong, no matter how! Even if it were to violate the will of the heavens I wouldn't care. Phoe, help me be strong! I want revenge on on on******** that Lou Zo!"

Phoe sighed softly, seeing the now cold and gloomy Shua Xie made the atmosphere between the two of them slightly change.

"Alright, how do we get back to Bora city and you take the examination for the selection of the future disciples of the Lightning sect. But before that we can try training for a week in the spirit monster hunting forest for your experience to increase."

"Well, as long as I can be strong. Whatever I'm going to do!" reply Shua Xie with a flat tone.

Shua Xie got up and went walking towards Feng Xian's residence, intending to leave Kekai city today. Shua Xie is already 3 weeks in the city of Keki, and 1 week away the match in the city of Bora will be held. Shua Xie had promised to attend the match, to General Xui Sukong and his wife. As proof that he would resurrect the kingdom of Heaven, Shua Xie would pull himself aside to be as strong as possible, even if he had to challenge the laws of the heavens even once.

The arrival of Shua Xie to the Feng Xian residence made the guests there surprised and immediately saluted him. As the most important figure in the attack, and managed to make all the attacking forces die, he got the title as the hero of the city of Keki. All the citizens of Kekai town respect Shua Xie as their hero, wherever Shua Xie is as long as he is in Kekai city he will always be served and respected.

It just so happened that Feng Xian was the middle of the arrival of the Tang clan Elder, the Nara clan Elder and the Mayor, so Shua Xie did not bother to visit their homes anymore if these 3 important people were already in Feng Xian's house.

"It just so happens that you guys are gathered here, so I don't have to come to your house anymore."

Shua Xie's words made the four of them confused not understand the meaning of Shua Xie's words. Feng Xian looked at Shua Xie while frowning.

"Miss, what do you mean? Do you want to talk to all of us about something?" feng Xian asked, he turned to his four comrades in turn until he finally looked at Shua Xie.

"What important business does the hero Shua want to tell us?" said Elder Nara who was as curious as Feng Xian.

"Please don't call me a hero, just call me by my name. I don't like being called a hero." Shua Xie looked at Elder Nara flatly but left a frightening impression. Elder Nara could only shudder in horror at Shua Xie's gaze, that cold and heartless look.

Elder Nara nodded in understanding, "Alright, I'm sorry if I offended Miss Shua."

Shua Xie did not care about the reaction of Elder Nara to him, want whatever the reaction of the person in front of him he would still not care, do not ask why? You know, right now Shua Xie is completely changed. His determination was already unanimous, he would become strong in any way for the sake of avenging her. The reason became cold because he did not want to have a bond with anyone so that no more people died because of it.

"I will leave the city of Kekai today as well. No need to welcome anything, I want to leave unnoticed by everyone, just you know," said Shua Xie flatly with an expressionless look, it was completely similar to Shu Chin's expression during the war.

"Go? Why?" Elder Tang could not cover his surprise.

"Where will the lady go? Should I give some bodyguards to Miss, so that Miss does not experience any obstacles during the trip?" Rong Sui offered his Cultivators to escort Shua Xie during the journey, so that Shua Xie would be spared from danger. Especially Lou Zhos soldiers.

Shua Xie looked at Rong Sui flatly, "You underestimated me?" What came out of Shua Xie's mouth just now made the 4 middle-aged men in front of him a little surprised, they had all known since Shu Chin's death, Shua Xie suddenly changed for no reason making both Rong Sui and Feng Xian confused. But hearing such a cold remark come out, it was shocking that the reason did not sound the slightest bit of respect for the old one from his words.

"That's not why I underestimated Miss. Just-just"

"What is it? I don't need any bodyguards, I'm not a weak princess! The Sky Princess must not be weak! How could he want to resurrect his clan if he alone was unable to protect himself." Shua Xie interrupted Rong Sui's speech.

What Shua Xie said was indeed true, but now was not the time to show who was strong and who was weak for Rong Sui, however Shua Xie had targeted the Upper world, surely there will be many more troops coming to him and obviously Rong Sui does not want anything to happen to Shua Xie. She had considered Shua Xie like her own daughter despite Shua Xie's unfavorable attitude towards her.

"But-" had not had time to continue his words yet, Feng Xian directly patted Rong Sui on the shoulder then shook his head. Feng Xian asked her not to go against Shua Xie's words anymore, so Shua Xie might get angry at being forced.

Rong Sui looked at Feng Xian then sighed heavily, he understood the intent of Feng Xian's gaze towards him. He knew it was not good to force someone like Shua Xie to start a fire even bigger, now Shua Xie is being enveloped in a sense of resentment is not good looking for trouble with him, he said, there he can be an impingement of Shua Xie. But letting Shua Xie himself out there certainly makes him unsettled, for how he knows the current status of Shua Xie is the number 1 fugitive of the Upper world, too, there will be a lot of bad things going after him.

"Thank you for caring about me, but you don't have to worry about me. I will not be caught by them, their arrival to me just invites their death faster." Shua Xie assures that she currently does not need anyone's protection given that Phoe is nearby and will always protect her.

"All right, but just one person. I don't want many of your citizens to know that I'm leaving Kekai city. They're hampering my journey."

"No problem, I'm happy with one" replied Rong Sui directly with a smile.

Shua Xie immediately stepped away from the Feng Xian residence without saying another word, followed by a man in his 20s chasing after him from behind, the man was a surrogate Cultivator Rong Sui escorting him all the way to the city gate of Kekai.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of the gate, Shua Xie stopped his steps and turned back to look at the man who was following him.

"It's enough to get here, now you can go back," said Shua Xie commanding the man in yellow to return to Kekai city again.

The man nodded then saluted Shua Xie, "Thank you, since your city of Keki has been as safe as it is now. I hope your journey is not much of an obstacle" said the man after that he immediately left Shua Xie.

Shua Xie did not respond to the man's remark, he was spoiling something inside his shirt pocket that was 4 tokens from the Keki city belonging to Rong Sui, Elder Tang, Elder Nara, and Feng Xian. The use of the token was the same as the token belonging to the 4 sects of Silver city, Shua Xie could at any time call them if he needed help.

"Okay, see you in Kekai. If I'm strong enough I'll come back."

"Hey are you sure this is the way out of this forest? It's been more than four days we walked but still can't get out" asked one middle-aged man in red on 2 of his friends.

2 his friend looked at him a little annoyed, because this one friend always complained all the way about what this is the right way out is not it? It was really noisy, but he himself did nothing but complain.

"Once again you ask you better find your own way, dizzy I hear you complain all the time. You don't think we're the same as you?"

"Yes, you know just complaining." His friend added again.

The red-clothed man scowled angrily at the expression of his friend, especially when his friend scolded him just because he asked.

"I'm just asking? Why are you so upset!" reply with the look of his face bent, making 2 friends look at him again upset.

"Why are we upset? Once you ask don't follow us again!" The more upset his other friend because of his joking question.

these 3 men have been lost for 4 days in the forest of Kukuzu, they are 3 men from the kingdom of Bora where they are a noble of the kingdom of Bora. these 3 men were cousins and in-laws of Xui Sukong's wife. The three of them had originally intended to hunt with the noble family of Bora when the hunting festival was held, but the three of them split from the entourage and stray in the forest. These 3 noble men were not Cultivators, but only noble merchants.

The three of them continued walking through the forest until they soon saw a girl who was fighting against a Black Bear spirit monster. These 3 men were surprised to see the fight and chose to peek at the fight from behind the bushes.

"Well! That girl is fighting the Black bear! It's great!" Praise the man in red with a surprised face.

"He's a Cultivator? Must be hunting in the woods. How do we ask for his help out of the forest, with which we can return safely." Proposed another friend excited. 2 his friend nodded happily, because the misery they suffered for 4 days will disappear, they admitted for 4 days really suffered, really suffered, being chased continuously by spirit monsters and unable to live quietly, as ordinary humans they could do nothing but run and run to save themselves.

the 3 men waited until the girl finished fighting, it didn't take long for the girl to finish fighting the Black bear, who won? Of course the girl was wearing jet black. After the girl wiped the bear clean and took out her monster spirit core, the 3 men walked up to her with a slightly scared look on their face, after seeing the girl's fighting strength they were not sure if the girl was still human what a monster? Because the girl fought very fast and without any weapons at all.

The girl immediately turned to the backwoods when she sensed that there were 3 ordinary humans approaching her. The three men were surprised when they saw the girl's face was so beautiful, but it was not her face that captivated them but because it was very familiar to them.

"Daughter of Xui Sha?"

The girl frowned confusedly, "Xui Sha I'm Shua Xie not Xui Sha."
