As everyone settled in Le Chang sat quietly on a large rock, from which he had a complete view of where they were camped.

He was in the lotus position, quietly eating some fruits.

"Eh… Excuse me."

"Mm… have a seat." - Le Chang.

Wuhan Xie and Lian Mei calmly climbed the rock until they reached his side.

The silence was disturbing.

"Let's spend the night here ... In the morning we'll take a direct route to Turtle City, I don't think we'll find any more danger from now on. If we go here we should save a day trip." Said Le Chang pointing to a map in his hand.

"Great, it's better this way, we have a lot of injuries and some need urgent care…" - Lian Mei.

"L… Le Chang and you? Any injuries?" - Wuhan Xie.

"No, I'm fine. After they escaped I managed to create a distraction and ran away, it was not difficult. I came out with few injuries and spent a day looking for you, so it took me too long." He said calmly.

The two looked at each other, they knew they were only half-truths, but decided not to go deep into the subject. The important thing is that the group was saved and Le Chang was alive.

"Go to sleep, I'll be on guard." - Le Chang.

"We…" - Lian Mei

Le Chang didn't let Lian Mei finish and said again, "Rest a.s.sured, I'll take a look at the Storage Rings I got from the four… Let's see if you have any information." - Le Chang.

"Alright… Anything calls us." - Wuhan Xie.

"No problem…" - Le Chang. ********************************

"Let's see what we have here ..." He said with four rings on his palm.

He first looked at the rings of the three men who came with Zhu Han, on their rings there was a large sum of gold coins, silver weapons, bronze, and some other Devil Growers items, but nothing of value.

Zhu Han's ring was different, he was the leader of the group, his wealth was greater.

There were thousands of gold coins, he had a lot of silver weapons, pills, Tier 3 Magic Crystals and even a Tier 4 Magic Crystal.

The latter was a treasure.

But what most caught Le Chang's attention was a shabby little book.

Opening it quietly he realized he was the list of his clients.

It was extremely detailed, such as the client's name, number of slaves, the amount paid for each and a slight description of each client, such as his or her cultivation, family, etc…

"Interesting… This is like a catalog of the most wicked people in this realm." - Seiryuu.

"Really… I don't know anyone from this book, but I'll keep it with me, I'm sure to make good use of it." Le Chang said as a light golden bolt pa.s.sed through his eyes.

After a look at the book, he kept it in his ring as well as the most precious things.

The rest, Devil Cultivation items, he burned them. They would have no use for him since his body was not one with the Devil Qi, but rather like the much more powerful Yin Energy itself.

If he cultivates devil techniques of these World Sects it would be the same as destroying the purity of the Yin Energy in his body.

Le Chang kept only weapons, normal pills and Magic Crystals.

After a quick inventory, he found that he had a small fortune, he had at least twice as much wealth as his Le Clan possessed.

Putting it all away, he began to cultivate, obviously not bringing all his strength into cultivation as there were people around.

Even suppressing its absorption speed as much as possible, people could still feel Qi in the air moving toward Le Chang.

Everyone thought: "Monster"

It was as if Qi loved him and missed him the way she ran toward him.

The night went on quietly, the better off took care of the most injured and cultivated.

*************************************

In the morning.

Le Chang was still on the stone in cultivation, yet his Divine Sense scanned every inch of the area for something.

After seeing Wuhan Xie and Lian Mei coming out of their tents and coming toward him, he calmly opened his eyes.

"Come on, let's have something with everyone." - Wuhan Xie.

"Sure, let's go." - Le Chang.

The three of them went to a large bonfire where hundreds of young people were standing around it.

Everyone was extremely tired, walking all day, and still having to do it injured, was no easy task.

Many here were beloved and beloved children, had never encountered a hindrance in their lives, never felt the fear of death.

The situation broke the pride and pride of many, made them recognize that there were people out there who were extremely powerful and careless about their lives.

Everyone ate in silence, the air was heavy. Some had lost important friends or were among the seriously injured.

This event would be marked in the minds and hearts of all, was a sample of how ruthless would be the path they chose.

Le Chang watched everyone's face as he ate calmly.

Using his mind he talked to Seiryuu and Gao Yao.

"I can't blame them… When I was hated for having my [Qi Channels] and [Meridians] broken, I often thought of giving up…" - Le Chang.

"It's complicated ... The Martial Path is relentless, it does not pity anyone. Only the strong survive and the weak are food for the rise of the powerful." - Gao Yao.

"Thousands dream of the top, but few reach it…" - Seiryuu.

"Well… we still have a long journey anyway, we better start walking." - Le Chang.

**************************************

At dusk, they finally reached the gates of Turtle City.

The gates were imposing, made of pure steel. The walls were huge, you could ride a carriage over it, and there was still room. They were thus designed to protect against attacks not only from humans but from Magic Beasts as well.

The arrival of nearly three hundred people caused a stir among the city guard.

Quickly dozens of heavily armed soldiers emerged from the walls and surrounded the group.

"I am Commander Me Long… who are you?" He said calmly.

Le Chang stepped forward and removed the locket that held him as a Disciple of the Purple Flame Cult.

"I am Le Chang, we are all Disciples of the Purple Flame Sect. We have been ambushed and have several injuries among us, we need urgent treatment." He said quietly.

Seeing the locket Me Long immediately acted telling his guards to relax. The Purple Flame Sect was a powerful Holy Continent Sect, it was an honor for them that their City was the meeting place for so many people.

"Quick, help them with the wounded. Call the guard doctors and tell them to help them ..." ordered Me Long.

"There are still two days left for the Cult Elders to arrive, would the Lord know where we can rest? We came from a long journey here." - Wuhan Xie.

"Sure… Sure… Please follow me." - Long me.

Being called Lord for such beauty made him very happy.

He led the whole group to a place reserved by the Purple Flame Cult, where everyone could bathe, eat, and treat the wounded more easily.

Upon entering, they saw that there were already nearly two hundred people inside when they saw the pitiful state of the people who entered some began to laugh.

Until a tall, blond young man wearing a golden cloak stood up and said, "Here beggars are not allowed, get out of here."

Some other people smiled, what did these deplorable people do here at the Purple Flame Sect's quarters?

Le Chang came out of the crowd and said, "We are Disciples too, we came here to settle down"

"Since when does the Purple Flame Sect accept beggars? Get out of here." Said the young man removing a double-edged sword, it was made entirely of gold. Together he released his cultivation.

"10th Grade Dao Integration" murmured Le Chang.

A mocking smile pa.s.sed the young man's lips, he was the strongest person among them.

His name was Bae Hong, son of Lord Bae City, a first-cla.s.s city.

Pride was stamped on his face, after releasing his aura he turned his back thinking that they would understand the message and run in fear of it.
