Chapter 162 The imperial ambition to travel to an unknown land!
Like the verdict of the god of death, Huang Tu Baiye's cold words were like a heavy hammer hitting Su Xiaoli who walked out of the hut in a daze.
It extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart, and made despair spread all over her pale face.
She knelt helplessly on the ground, looking at Huang Tu Baiye's receding back in confusion.
"How could this happen? Is there really no other way?"
"Please tell me!"
Her voice was hoarse, tears blurred her vision, and she watched Huang Tu's hegemony completely fade away before she lowered her head in despair.
Su Xiaoli lowered her head with a dead look on her face. After an unknown amount of time, a strange look appeared in her eyes.
For her, with this incident, royal power and wealth have become everything in her life.
For him, it doesn't matter even if I have to betray the world.
"I still have a chance, the Chaos Dragon Ball! As long as I get the Chaos Dragon Ball that Rose mentioned..."
"The life and death of others in this world has nothing to do with me. I just want him to be alive!"
Su Xiaoli looked towards the thatched cottage and whispered, the look in her eyes becoming more and more determined. At the same time, wisps of black air drilled into her body from the ground.
…………
On the other side, in a blue sea area that is unknown how far away from the human race’s Kyushu land.
At this moment, a blazing fireball fell from a height of ten thousand meters and hit the center of a small island.
boom!
With a loud bang, a bottomless pit appeared in the center of the island.
In an instant, countless smoke and dust rose up, and horrible cracks spread in all directions along the edge of the giant pit.
As the smoke dissipated, a sleepy golden figure revealed its face in the center of the deep pit.
It was the long-lost Reina!
"The meteorite should have fallen here. Wait...why is there a person here?"
………………
Tianji Tower!
Looking at the three large characters written in a flamboyant style above his head, Huangtu Baiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
Exhaling lightly, Huangtu Baiye wrapped the cloak tightly around himself to hide his figure, and walked towards Tianji Tower with a normal expression.
What I saw was an old man lying on a recliner, bored, and a waiter wearing linen clothes.
"Sir, what do you need?"
The sharp-eyed waiter walked forward with a smile the moment Huangtu Baiye came in.
Huangtu Baiye glanced at him, and a flash of golden light flashed under his cloak.
"I want to see old man Tianji!"
The waiter noticed that Jin Guang looked normal, rubbing his hands and smiling:
"The host is not someone who can be moved by money. Sir, why don't you go to the second floor? The information there is enough to meet 99% of the needs in the world."
“The second floor isn’t enough!”
Listening to the waiter's explanation, Huangtu Baiye shook his head.
"This..." Looking at Huang Tubaiye's determined face, the waiter was about to frown and reject his request when he was interrupted by an old voice beside him.
"Let him go up, the host said he wants to see him!"
The old man sitting on the recliner opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the waiter.
"Sir, please come this way."
The waiter's face changed when he received the order. He bowed respectfully and led Huangtu Baiye upstairs.
Soon, the two arrived at the junction of the second and third floors.
"Sir, the host only lets you go up!"
The waiter bowed, explained, and then left.
"Yeah." Huangtu Baiye nodded and walked into the spiral staircase.
tread!tread!tread!
With the gait of a dragon and a tiger, the imperial plan approached the third floor in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, an old voice came from above.
"You are here, boy from the Huangtu family. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
As the voice fell, Huangtu Baiye had already stepped into the third floor.
What I see is a futon and a wooden table.
The voice that just came out came from the old man who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion.
The old man was dressed in a green shirt, his eyes were closed, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning on a wooden stick.
"You knew I would come?" Huangtu Baiye looked puzzled.
"It told me." The old man pointed to the sky in a mysterious manner.
Huangtu Baiye looked in the direction of the voice and muttered to himself while looking at the sky.
"The Way of Heaven? Did it tell you why I came?"
"Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. We mortals can only barely glimpse a corner of it. I can only tell you that going north may not be a dead end!"
[The saying "Heaven is not benevolent and treats all things as straw dogs" comes from the Tao Te Ching, which means that God treats everyone the same, not being particularly good to anyone, nor being particularly bad to anyone, and letting everything develop naturally. It is used here only to meet the style of Tianji Lao Ren, so don't over-interpret it.]
"north?"
Huangtu Baiye looked towards the north with a blank look in his eyes.
"Where... can I find the meaning of my life?"
"I don't know, I can't say. It's all up to you to decide."
Old man Tianji hummed softly and disappeared on the third floor.
All that was left was the imperial ambition to think about.
…………
A month later, Dingyuan City, the northernmost city of Jizhou, one of the nine states of the human race.
"Shut up!"
Huangtu Baiye, covered in dust, suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped at the entrance of Dingyuan City.
He turned around and took one last lingering look at Dingyuan City. Then he plunged into the jungle without hesitation and completely left the human race's Kyushu land.
Walking in the vast ancient forest.
From time to time, the information about the human race outside the Nine Provinces that he had learned in recent months flashed through Huangtu Baiye's mind.
The world is divided into four continents, and the nine continents of the human race are located in the eastern part of the world, Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The Dongsheng Shenzhou is divided into twelve states, and the human race rules over 80% of the territory, making it the place with the strongest human influence in the world.
The Jizhou area, where the emperor's ambitions started, was located in the north of the Dongsheng Shenzhou, and was divided into two parts by the thousands of miles of Qilian Mountains from the northern region of Uttarakuru.
“I hope this trip goes well.”
Looking at the continuous trees in the distance, Huangtu Baiye knew that he had arrived at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. After letting his horse run, he rushed into the mountains with an iron sword in hand.
…………
A few months later, a roar that reached the sky, mixed with endless waves of sound, spread in all directions of the Qilian Mountains.
"Hey, where did this human come from? How dare you trespass into my demon clan's territory? You are really courting death."
A purple lion with wings looked at the embarrassed Huang Tu Baiye with murderous intent on its face. Magical power surged in its body, and it could launch a fatal attack at any time.
Huang Tu Baiye, who was targeted by the Purple Lion King, showed no fear on his pale face. He held the iron sword in his hand with an indifferent tone.
"I'm just borrowing it, I'll be leaving soon!"
"Humph, you come as you please, and leave as you please. How can the Qilian clan keep its dignity?"
The purple demon king opened his bloody mouth and looked coldly at Huangtu Baiye.
Seeing his appearance, Huangtu Baiye frowned and held the iron sword in his hand, the sword making a long hum.
"Then we can only do it once!"
.........
Three days later, in Uttarakuru, on the beach outside an assassin training base in Xuanwu Kingdom.
An unconscious figure covered in wounds was pushed to the shore by the waves.
