Wind Fall Village.

Numerous grave markers have been erected over the span of one night on top of the back mountain. Gu Ruoyun was standing in the gentle breeze, staring at the graves which stretched out as far as the eye could see. She then slowly murmured, "Xiao Yu, Qi Hao, and the villagers of Wind Fall Village, I've avenged you and I've brought the heads of your enemies here as well."

"Xiao Yu, the dreams you've had in this lifetime can be carried to your next lifetime. I believe that in your next life, you will become an amazing doctor."

"I have other matters to attend to so I should leave now. This place, Wind Fall Village... Perhaps I will never return to it again. Not in this lifetime."

Gu Ruoyun laughed bitterly. Aside from sorrow, she was mostly filled with regret and remorse.

So what if I've avenged them?

These simple villagers will never be able to come back!

If I had not come to this place, perhaps they would have continued to live in peace and work happily. As for the bandits' threat, perhaps they would still have their lives spared if they had suffered in silence.

However, their lives have been changed just because of my arrival.

The Lin family!

Gu Ruoyun clenched her fist tightly as a murderous intent flashed across her lowered eyes.

Even though she has taken care of the ones responsible for the villagers' deaths, the threat from the Lin family was still looming in the background! If it had not been for the Lin family's ideology in their teachings all this time, these people would not have reacted so cruelly!

Hence, the Lin family was the main culprit behind all of this!

"One day, I, Gu Ruoyun, will make the entire Lin family vanish from this world! It won't only be for Mother and Father's sake but for the sake of these innocent villagers too..."

A wave of determination flashed across her lowered eyelids. She then took one last look at the graves which stretched over the mountain as far as the eye could see before turning around and descending the mountain...

...

Celestial Mountain Forest.

This was a mountain range situated not too far away from Wind Fall Village. It was also the place where the battle between Gu Ruoyun and Lin Fen had taken place.

If one wishes to leave Wind Fall Village and head towards Main City, one would have to go through Celestial Mountain Forest.

However, an incident has occurred in the Celestial Mountain Forest. Not a soul could be found in the forest before but suddenly, this place has attracted the appearance of countless cultivators. Amongst these people were a substantial number of Martial Supreme ranked cultivators and above as well.

What on earth has happened here?

Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows as her heart filled with suspicion. After all, it's not like these cultivators have nothing better to do so why would they make a trip to a small and isolated place like the Celestial Mountain Forest? Especially after I've just killed the members of the Lin family.

Just as Gu Ruoyun was in deep thought, she heard the sound of clear and bright laughter. "I never thought that so many people would be attracted by this Divine Weapon. It looks like the Jiang family will need to take painstaking efforts this time."

Gu Ruoyun's eyes lit up when she heard that particular laughter. She then turned to look at the old man who was descending from the sky. The corners of her lips were curled into a small smile.

He's here too!

"Gu girl?" Suddenly, the old man in white robes who had descended from the sky noticed Gu Ruoyun in the crowd. He jumped slightly before bursting into laughter once again as he stepped down. "Gu girl, long time no see. Are you interested in the Divine Weapon as well?"

Gu Ruoyun smiled mildly. "Old Man Jiang, I never expected us to see each other again so soon."

This old man was the Jiang family's impressive elder whom Gu Ruoyun had met back in Cloudy Wind City when she had first entered the Northern Block Territory! Ever since Gu Ruoyun had helped to cure him of his former affliction, he had changed his manner of addressing her from Miss Gu to Gu girl.

"Old Man Jiang, is this little girl the same person that you've mentioned to me before?"
