The night was not over yet. Only, the bright moon had already moved from one side of the sky to the other. Even the insects in the grass were making much less noise than earlier, as if they had fallen asleep because of being unable to endure the loneliness of the late night.
Bai Yunfei went out of Luoshi City right after bidding farewell to the two girls.
In front of Uncle Wu’s grave…
“Uncle Wu, I have fulfilled my promise to you. I already killed Zhang Yang with my own hands. Now you and Xiao Yu’er can rest in peace in the nether world…”
“Uncle Wu, later I probably won’t be able to come see you again. I have no intention of staying in Luoshi City and even in Qingyun Province. I want to leave this place to look for the path of my own life.
“I have decided the destination. Hopefully I can live the kind of life I want to live at that place…
“Uncle Wu, though we only spent half a day together, you gave me a warm feeling similar to what my grandpa had given me. In the end, you even died to save me… I will engrave the words said by both my grandpa and you in my heart!”
Bai Yunfei kowtowed three times respectfully to Uncle Wu’s grave. When he stood up, the sorrow on his face gradually faded away, replaced with an unparalleled determination!
“I’m leaving now, Uncle Wu. No matter what problems I will have to face in the future, I will definitely live free and with a clear conscience!”
The moment Bai Yunfei turned around and left, a subtle change suddenly occurred in his body. His body, which had always been slightly bent unconsciously, was now perfectly upright. That trace of confusion and sadness in his eyes had disappeared. Now his clear eyes were filled with confidence and resolution.
With the death of Zhang Yang, Bai Yunfei had taken his revenge and his state of mind had changed quietly again. He was already no longer that lowly and weak coolie who had struggled for survival by moving rice sacks in a rice store. Instead, he was now a powerful soul cultivator who could fight for his ideals!
An invisible aura was emitted from his body. Within this small area, the remaining several insects which were crying suddenly became quiet. Even the moonlight in the surroundings seemed to ripple because of Bai Yunfei’s aura.
“I broke through… The Soul Warrior stage!” As Bai Yunfei felt the surging soulforce in his body, he was somewhat stupefied. He raised his right hand, holding it before his eyes, and clenched it with force. It seemed he was making sure if this feeling was real or not, “For the last two days, no matter how I have practiced, my soulforce hasn’t increased at all. I also guessed that this was the sign of me being about to break through to the Soul Warrior stage. Originally I planned to go to Li Chengfeng’s place then use the Upgrade Technique under his protection to break through this final barrier. Who would have thought I would have a breakthrough in this way?!
“Looks like in additional to the increase of soulforce, a stage breakthrough is closely related to the state of mind as well. It’s good that I understand this now. Later it would save me many detours…”
Bai Yunfei walked up a hillside, turned to take a look at Luoshi City, which was still shrouded in the darkness of the night, then turned around and went in the other direction.
“Luoshi City is about to be thrown into chaos. I can’t let the Zhang family discover my whereabouts. After saying goodbye to mom and grandpa again, I’ll leave immediately…”
