High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 607 - 418: Revisiting Old Haunts, Killing Intent from the Great Desert!

The golden silhouette heard these words and smirked, whether in sarcasm or in mockery.

He gently caressed the woman’s cheek, the golden silhouette slowly closed his eyes, memories of the past surfaced in his mind, images of the mountains brushed by, the expression on his face turned gentle and reminiscent.

As time passed, when the two were reunited, the original feelings had subtly changed, he himself could also feel it.

The memories of these past twenty years made his brow unceasingly furrow.

Finally, the golden silhouette reopened his eyes, his expression was complex, a mix of anger, reluctance, and a few traces of relief.

His beloved was the woman named Jingshu in the mountains.

And not Sima Jingshu.

"Jingshu loves peace and quiet, let this matter end here..."

The pallbearer showed an expression of disbelief.

"Master, the fifth madam died so unjustly, is this really the end? Are we not to avenge the fifth madam? This matter surely has something to do with that Su Mu!"

The golden silhouette snorted coldly and said blandly, "What do you intend to do then?"

Upon hearing this, the man trembled all over and hurriedly spoke, "Master, this disciple dare not, it’s just..."

"Just what? Do you want to go over now to kill that Su Mu to avenge Jingshu?"

"Huaxia is about to undergo a great change, the Western countries have been restless lately, and now even the Alien Race is beginning to grow uneasy, she, however, walked together with the people of the Dark Demon Society, what she did was excessive and met with backlash."

"That kid is currently a key focus of training for the Huaxia Military Department, if you act against him, the Military Department will go mad disregarding everything, and moreover, that kid has countless connections with Qingfeng and the Mediocre People."

"Furthermore..."

"That kid is clever, last time he borrowed the momentum of the Military Department and Qingfeng, this time his methods were even more brilliant, leaving no trace behind, the boy is at the Ye Family now, do you have any evidence to prove it was he who killed her?"

"If you act now, it will only provoke the Ye Family."

"Qing Zhi, you must remember this, though I am a Mortal Martial Saint, I am not the highest peak in this world, certain rules of the Alliance must still be obeyed..."

With these words, the four pallbearers all trembled all over, then responded solemnly, "Yes, Master."

"However..."

"Death may be excused, but a living penalty cannot be avoided. After all, Jingshu is dead, and the Military Department must pay the price, even if it’s the Military Department, some flesh must be cut off." The golden silhouette spoke calmly, but there was anger in his tone.

As he spoke, he gently sweeped over the woman’s eyes in the Purple Jade Coffin with his hand, closing her not completely shut eyes for her, then tidied up the wrinkles on her gown for the last time.

When the golden silhouette was tidying the woman’s hands placed on her abdomen, suddenly, his movements stopped abruptly.

He trembled all over, his gaze fixed on the woman’s abdomen, a terrifyingly intense brilliance erupted in his eyes.

In an instant, a terrifying force of Qi and Blood like a landslide or tsunami erupted from the golden silhouette.

Buzz!

Aguda’s and another’s faces on the mountain path changed dramatically, at this moment the two felt suffocated, unable to breathe, then their bodies knelt to the ground uncontrollably.

"This, this aura... the rumors are true, they must be true!"

Though just a stone’s throw away, the two could not hear each other’s voices.

They exchanged glances, their faces full of shock, they found at this moment the air of the entire Holy Mountain had completely solidified, wind and snow, cold wind all stagnated, all sounds disappeared, time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Above the Cloud Palace, the semi-transparent golden human form without visible facial features shook violently, and facial features started to appear, then the body silhouette completely condensed.

The phantom transformed into flesh and blood, forming into a giant like a tower.

"Master!"

After this figure descended, those carrying the coffin were filled with respect, shouting in unison.

But the towering man did not cast a glance at the four people, his gaze firmly fixed on the woman’s abdomen, he felt there was once a faint breath of life here.

It was a new life already passed!

The towering man’s eyes trembled, rage surging on his face like a storm, he spoke in a deep voice with a murderous aura, "Jingshu, why did you hide this from me..."

Hearing this sentence.

The four kneeling on the ground trembled all over, suddenly raised their heads, their faces showing indescribable fear.

"Master, this matter..."

Qing Zhi spoke with a stiff scalp.

The towering man ignored them, said nothing, picked up the woman from the coffin, and left the palace.

...

"Su Mu, you have done a favor to my Ye Family, in the future, if you have any need, you may seek out my Ye Family, I thank you on behalf of the Ye Family."

Before confinement, Ye Xuanshan personally found Su Mu and gave a deep bow.

"Patriarch of the Ye Family, there’s no need for this."

Su Mu did not stay long at the Ye Family, soon left the Imperial Capital, and on the return journey to the Southern War Zone, Su Mu got off halfway at South China Saint Martial University.

Su Mu stopped in front of the Qingfeng Martial Saint statue, there was no blood script here anymore.

Just as he was about to leave, a school mentor called out to Su Mu.

"Mister Su Mu, this is a letter left for you by that old madman... no, by Li Liangshu, he asked me to pass it to you."

"Alright, I understand."

Su Mu received the letter and like that day came to a bench in the corner of the central square, opened the letter, and was met with familiar handwriting.

The letter was filled with gratitude, and also mentioned Li Liangshu’s plans. Having avenged his great enmity, Li Liangshu returned to his hometown village intending to work at an orphanage in the town.

At the end of the letter, Li Liangshu also mentioned that maiden with the Silver Bell.

"Was it her?"

Su Mu immediately thought of the girl he encountered at Celestial Cloud Mountain, from Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu’s mouths, Su Mu later understood it was the Silver Bell Maiden who invoked a will of the Qingfeng Martial Saint to buy him time against Sima Xie.

"She must be a disciple of Qingfeng Martial Saint, I owe her and Qingfeng Martial Saint a favor, I, Su Mu, will repay it if I have the chance in the future."

Though Su Mu initially declined Qingfeng Martial Saint’s apprenticeship, having a clash of faith with Qingfeng Martial Saint, different paths cannot lead to the same goal, but he did not forget this favor.

Leaving South China Saint Martial University, revisiting an old haunt, outside the old residential community.

In the light snow, the laughter of children came from far away, a few children in down jackets were having a snowball fight under a bare old pagoda tree.

"Seems like they’ve grown a bit taller."

Seeing this, Su Mu wore a smile.

Just when Su Mu was about to leave...

Out of the blue.

His steps halted, then his right eyelid started twitching wildly, his brow seemed struck by an invisible force, the Diamond Human Form in the Sea of Consciousness began shaking violently, and his body trembled suddenly.

Su Mu closed his eyes, turned lightly on his feet, slowly rotating his body, finally slowly opening his eyes.

He gazed steadily in a certain direction.

"Northwest..."

"Great Desert..."
