Towards Eternity
Ch 514's. Towards the Capital
Hearing what Qian Yu said, Weng Lou remained silent for a while and gazed towards the outside of the cave.
There is darkness out there, which indicates that it is not morning yet because the sun has not yet risen. The black smoke that gathered in his palm spun for a while, before then immediately being pulled back into Weng Lou's body.
Weng Lou stood up from his place. When he touched the edge of the large bucket he was in, the edge of the bucket was instantly crushed, like he had just received an incredible force from Weng Lou's hand. Weng Lou pensively looked at that and stared silently at his hand that had just crushed the rim of the bucket.
He clenched his hands and felt a power flowing within his body.
"It seems like my physical strength has increased a lot. I even accidentally smashed the rim of the bucket," Weng Lou said without any expression.
Unwilling to damage the bucket any further, Weng Lou chose not to use his hands and immediately jumped out. But what happened then immediately made him take a cold breath
*Shelf!*
The bottom of the bucket was instantly shattered due to the force it exuded. The bucket, however, was now broken and could no longer be used. Weng Lou could only sigh because of that. The bucket was the only big bucket he had, it seemed like he would have to find a replacement in the capital later.
Weng Lou swung his hand in the air and a smaller bucket with clean water appeared before him. He immediately washed his entire body with that clean water, and cleaned the dirt all over his body.
After finishing cleaning himself, Weng Lou then put on his clothes. He chose to wear a dark blue shirt with no arms, and tied his black hair back.
At this moment, Weng Lou looked much different from before he absorbed Kirin's blood essence. Its height increased by almost 10 cm, and its body was slightly larger and contained than before, probably due to the bulging muscles in its body.
Weng Lou now looks like a 17-year-old young man, but he will only be 16 in a few months.
"After my bones were crushed and restored continuously, I could feel an immense power within my body. It was as if, if I wasn't careful, then I would destroy whatever was around me."
Ye Lao spoke to Weng Lou, "Well, that would be a problem. But save your worries first. You don't have to hold back when you execute our plans later."
What Ye Lao said was indeed true, he did not need to hold back his strength in their plans later on, but still it would be a big deal. He was unwilling to destroy everything just because of a slight touch from him.
Closing his eyes, Weng Lou then took a deep breath. He could sense that power, and try to control it.
"Come, you can learn to control it on our journey. The journey from here to the capital will take a few hours, and obviously flying is not our best option. So we can only walk on foot" said Ye Lao who walked out of the cave.
Weng Lou opened his eyes, "Alright. At least the power I'm putting out isn't that great, so it should be fine."
"Okay, then.you, get up quickly. We'll use you as our mount." Qian Yu spoke to Kirin who was with him.
The Kirin without saying a single word broke, immediately got up to his feet and walked out of the cave. He lowered his body and allowed all of them to rise above his body.
"Hm, it was a good decision not to kill him. This thing is supposed to be very fast like a horse, we can save time faster by riding it."
With the direction from Qian Yu, Kirin began to move and went in one direction, where the capital of the Fanrong Empire was located.

In front of an enormous and tall great wall, the group of former slaves led by Liu Ning walked closer towards a large gate located on the great wall.
This great wall was a barrier created by Emperor Shengshi Huangdi to prevent the escape of slaves who had been put into the Slums. There were a total of 4 gates that belonged to the great wall surrounding this Slum Region, each of which was located in 4 winds.
The group led by Liu Ning was currently at the gate located south of the Slums Region.
After walking for approximately 3 hours from City 1, Liu Ning's group had arrived at this gate. As they approached the gate, the condition of the place was in a state of ravage.
The bodies of the soldiers who were supposed to be in charge of guarding the gate were currently lying on the ground in lifeless condition.
They were all seen to have died from being hit by an impromptu attack that even left them unable to react. The bewildered faces of the soldiers who had now died on the ground, they clearly did not think that they would die today just like that, without knowing what had killed them.
Among Liu Ning's group, Du Zhe's figure who was on top of the Black Ape Fighter's body approached one of the soldiers' bodies and checked the condition of his body. There was not a single trace of attack from the soldier's body, which even made the Black Ape Fighter who was carrying Du Zhe handsome seriously.
"This must have been your teacher. From what I see, it's like he used some kind of attack from Qi or something that instantly stopped the beating of the hearts of these soldiers" the Black Ape Fighter explained to Du Zhe.
Du Zhe couldn't help but praise his teacher, he was curious how strong his teacher was that he could even kill without touching his opponent.
The Black Ape Fighter laughed softly knowing the admiration of the boy who was with him, "You don't need to worry, boy. With the guidance of your monster master, you will definitely be able to become as strong as him within a few years."
"En! I will definitely train hard and make the teacher proud of me!" Du Zhe nodded with a wide smile.
Meanwhile at Liu Ning's group place, the handsome Li Min approached Liu Ning and gave a report to him.
"Report Princess, like her this gate has been attacked with immense force. The gate that separates the Slums seems to have been pierced by a giant creature," Li Min said respectfully.
Liu Ning nodded in understanding, he could also see that. In front of his eyes, the once-tall gate towered to nearly 40 meters, had now been broken and shattered. Anyone who saw it must have thought of what Li Min had said.
Only, is there really such a large living creature in this world? They were all unsure, but the one thing they could think of was, this matter had something to do with Weng Lou who had moved first towards the capital of the Fanrong Empire.
Liu Ning then turned around and looked at the troops that had come with her. "We must not waste time! Everyone, let's continue our journey! Our heroes have all opened a path for us, we must not waste it!"
After hearing Liu Ning's orders, they all started moving through the gate, and continued on towards the Imperial capital. According to Liu Ning's prediction, they were all supposed to arrive later in the afternoon.
