The second year of Yuanxing, March 6th.
The "Mirage" left the Extre Abyss.
This ti, the "Mirage" had a new group on board, representatives of the Northern Barbarian Seventeen Clans.
They were to be taken to Lanling City, where a public surrender ceremony would be held!
Inside the cabin, Chaganbayar and Sangji shared a room.
Sangji sat cross-legged, circulating the Innate Qi in his body, familiarizing himself with this new energy.
Chaganbayar sat in a chair, his expression shifting between dark and light.
This journey to the Northern Barbarians was both a blessing and a curse for him.
The good news was that the Forget River Taoism had not been devoured by the Ninth Grade Beast beneath the Extre Abyss.
The bad news was that Forget River Taoism was now in Li Fei's hands.
Chaganbayar had guessed that Li Fei would not use this Taoism for a breakthrough, as he had a better option.
But just because Li Fei wouldn't use it, doesn't an others wouldn't.
The Da Lan Dynasty still had several top-level True Masters in the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection Realm, and Li Fei might give it to them, thus adding a Peak Strong Person to the Da Lan Dynasty.
In short, Chaganbayar's hope of reclaiming his Taoism was slim.
What he needed to worry about now was not how to regain the Taoism, but how to hide himself.
Though he was confident no one could see through him directly, the sudden appearance of Forget River Taoism above the Extre Abyss was too suspicious!
Would Li Fei make any connections because of this?
Would his previous behavior on deck draw attention from the other party?
The more Chaganbayar thought, the more dangerous it seed.
He couldn't just sit and wait, he had to do sothing!
After a mont, Chaganbayar had a plan in mind.
"Sangji."
He suddenly called out.
Sangji, who was ditating, slowly opened his eyes: "What's up?"
Chaganbayar: "After this, what are your plans for the future?"
Sangji was stunned, a hint of confusion on his face:
"I... I want to travel the world of the Central Plains."
Chaganbayar shook his head.
Sangji looked at him: "What about you, what are your plans?"
Chaganbayar: "This ti, both of us contributed to the Da Lan Dynasty at the Desolate God Alliance, and we've earned rits. When we return, we'll surely be rewarded. The rewards may not only be cultivation resources but also our future!"
"Future?"
Sangji hadn't gone to battle for rewards, so he hadn't considered this at all.
Chaganbayar looked into his eyes: "Sangji, have you ever thought that the higher our status in the Da Lan Dynasty, the more we can help the Grassland people!"
Sangji's eyes widened in surprise.
"Right now, only a part of the Grassland people have surrendered to the Da Lan Dynasty, and many tribes are still opposing it. But you and I both know that the Grassland Royal Court will eventually be defeated by the Da Lan Dynasty, and then all Grassland people will beco its citizens."
Chaganbayar spoke eloquently, "But as you've seen along the way, not all Central Plains people are friendly to us."
"..."
Sangji was silent.
These days of interaction with a group of Da Lan Dynasty prodigies had left a deep impression on him.
"Sangji, I think if one day I can stand in a high enough position, I can change the views of so Central Plains people. When Grasslanders face injustice, I can help!"
Chaganbayar's expression was serious.
For the first ti, Sangji saw sothing in his friend that could be called an ideal.
And this ideal seed very noble to him!
Sangji looked at Chaganbayar with admiration:
"So you were so eager on deck to gain the favor of Duke Jing'an?"
Chaganbayar nodded: "Partly because of that, and partly because I truly admire him!"
Sangji was enlightened and secretly ashad of his previous suspicions.
"Sangji, would you be willing to join ?"
Chaganbayar asked the crucial question.
Sangji looked him in the eye with determination: "I am willing! I will join you in striving for the suffering Grassland people!"
"Good!"
Chaganbayar extended his hand, making a fist.
Sangji also extended his hand, clenching his fist.
The fists of the two Grassland youths t.
Chaganbayar's lips curled upwards.
Having spent so much ti with Sangji, he had long understood his temperant.
If he had talked about riches and high positions, Sangji wouldn't have agreed, and their relationship would have beco distant.
But by using this approach, he easily tied Sangji to himself.
...
In another room on the "Mirage".
Li Fei and Ji Yiheng sat opposite each other, a swirling glow between them, and the faint sound of flowing river water in the air.
"I'm already on the path to the peak, I can't turn back now."
Ji Yiheng said to Li Fei.
Upon returning to the "Mirage", Li Fei imdiately sought out Ji Yiheng to ask if he could use the Forget River Taoism to reach the peak.
Having made a vow with the Void Pool Clam, Li Fei certainly wouldn't give the Taoism to anyone else, otherwise his Qi fortune, realm, and even his path to Tao would be affected!
But it didn't stop him from gaining a better understanding of the process of reaching the peak from different perspectives.
"I actually failed to break through before, but by a stroke of luck, I didn't fall directly into the abyss from the 'cliff', but stayed where I was."
Ji Yiheng explained to Li Fei, "Now I am just a step away from condensing the Taoism, and unless there is a Taoism that completely matches my own path, I cannot simply use it to reach the peak."
Li Fei nodded.
He had anticipated this beforehand.
