Li Hao rested for half an hour before finally rising to his feet, he examined his body which received the fist from the previous red bear and found no cuts or bruises.
"Good, my wounds and Qi have almost fully recovered..." Li Hao muttered, then turned his head eastward, "Hm, should I hunt around here so as not to lose that mark?
Li Hao paused for a moment thinking that before shaking his head slowly, there were still eleven months for him to remain here. The journey is still long, moreover he can be said to have just entered the outer region of the forest.
After spending half a day hunting down the spiritual star, Li Hao finally rested on top of one of the largest trees he could find. There, he could see the night sky illuminated by the moonlight.
Not yet able to enjoy his rest time, Li Hao sensed a number of powerful existences that were approaching him.
"Haaa... I was just trying to enjoy the night in peace, but something was bothering me." Li Hao let out a long sigh when he saw ten red bears surrounding the tree he was in, one of them had two horns and his spirit was at the six-star Golden Core, "I'll finish you all off."
After saying so, Li Hao began to coat the Night Demon sword with Qi, then jumped down while executing his technique.
......................
Through a long fight, Li Hao finally managed to kill the last red bear that had two horns. The wound was quite severe at the moment but not to the point of losing consciousness.
"Damn, it hurts so much..." Li Hao hissed in pain, then swallowed a number of pills he took out of the inventory, "But I can't complain, I've chosen this path."
Li Hao pulled the Night Demon sword from the body of the red bear that had two horns while adjusting its hunting breath.
***
Six months have passed since the attack in Luoyang. Although it had long since passed, the conversation regarding the incident was still a hot topic among the people. Li Hao's name also entered the topic because reportedly he was a young hero who was willing to risk his life to buy time as long as possible from enemies in the Nascent Soul realm. Many were grateful for his actions, including those of a sect or a large clan.
On the other hand, the Five Dragon Towers suffered a lot of losses which made them have to slightly raise the price of his items. The wealth of the five higher-ups in the Five Dragon Towers had also decreased by half, but now it had started to gradually recover.
In addition, Yang Pun still kept the secret about the incident by himself. Despite that, he had gathered a lot of solid evidence and one of them was absolute proof.
Meanwhile, Wei Han had displayed incredible talent after joining the Demon Dragon Pole sect six months ago and was considered one of the geniuses among his top disciples. He showed intelligence that was far above average, and did not experience discrimination because the people in the sect knew that Diao Chan had raised him as a younger brother
Diao Chan himself continued to train in his area, and occasionally he also checked out Wei Hai's incredible development. He currently still has the desire for his brother to admit it, but he is not obsessed like before thanks to the words thrown by Li Hao before.
Currently, Diao Chan was training his swordsmanship in the middle of the field all by himself. There was no one around because this place was his residence, he was unlike the other disciples who had to stay in the dormitory because he was the son of the sect leader.
Diao Chan then stopped swinging the sword as there were many things he was thinking about right now.
"What are you thinking? Your sword swing looks rough..."
Diao Chan flinched when he heard a voice from behind him, he turned around and found a two meter tall old man who had long dark red hair, his face was firm but now looked friendly because he was smiling gently.
"Dad...? Why is it here?"
"Well, is it wrong that your father came to see his daughter?"
"Well, not really..." Diao Chan scratched his non-itchy head.
"Are you still thinking about that young man?"
"Em, that. Sometimes I think about it, I don't know what he's doing right now..."
"Hm, I have the latest news for you about him..."
Hearing that made Diao Chan instantly excited, "What?! What do you know?"
Seeing his son was immediately excited made Diao Chan's father slightly raise his eyebrows, "The last time he was seen in the town of Awun, and he was looking for information about the Endless Forest. There was no more information about him and the possibility of him entering the forest."
"What's that idiot doing there?" Diao Chan clenched his teeth, he felt both worried and annoyed with her.
"Hm, it turns out that my son is more worried about other people than his own parents..."
After his father said so, Diao Chan slightly furrowed his brows, "What does father mean?"
"You look very worried about him, but did you ever think about your father's feelings when you secretly ran away from the sect? Hicksnake..."
Diao Chan put on a flat expression looking at his father to the point of shedding tears, his father's sentimental nature making him only able to shake his head slowly.
"Already, father. I'm sorry, too, aren't I?" Diao Chan raised his shoulder casually, yet he was made to jerk as both of his father's hands suddenly touched his shoulder, "W-what...?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Diao Chan's father immediately let go of his hand, "Ehem... By the way, what do you want to do now about that young man?"
Diao Chan was actually not too surprised to see his father's behavior, he could understand the reason for suddenly acting so.
"I have one wish, can you send one of the True Killer members to find out where he is? There's no need to bring her here if you see her, just find out her current condition..." Diao Chan started smiling as he made a pleading gesture.
"Haaa... It seemed like it would be difficult, the Core Elders would definitely disagree since the Endless Forest was a dangerous forest."
"Father can send an Immortal, right? Just let the babble of the Core Elders, after all who have full power also father..."
"You're really good at using your father's office, aren't you?" diao Chan's father let out a small snort, "Dad can promise you a wish, but on one condition you must fulfill."
"Condition...?"
"Yes, from tomorrow you should learn the 'Half Demon Form' technique'."
"Eh, don't I have to be 20 to learn it? Now that I'm 18, have you forgotten?"
"Of course I didn't forget your age, but given the incident that happened in Luoyang city six months ago. I believe that war can break out at any time, especially if the mastermind is found..."
"But, weren't there no casualties from the big sects in the incident? Uncle Jang told me that the possibility of war was small..."
"Yes, but the white flow had a greater impact due to the incident. They are now amassing power by forming alliances, and will destroy any group involved with its mastermind or even the mastermind itself."
"What if the mastermind is one part of them?"
"That's impossible, because the people who attacked Luoyang city in the incident used black and red energy."
Keep in mind, the black and white flow cultivator could be distinguished through his Qi color. For white flow cultivators, they had blue or white colored Qi, while those from the black stream had red and black colored Qi.
This phenomenon occurs because the black stream studies science that contains darkness or demons, while the white stream does not study the science that contains both existences.
Hearing the reply from his father made Diao Chan nod in understanding, he then agreed to his terms provided that his father sent one of the True Killer members right now.
"Alright, father will immediately discuss this matter to the Core Elders. Prepare yourself, because learning the Half-demon Form technique requires a strong mentality as well as persistence."
"Dad not to worry, I can definitely learn it."
Diao Chan's father gave a small nod with a faint smile, then he left there to fulfill his son's request.
