Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 258 - 258 Another encounter

258 Another encounter

When Ruruo was on the way back, she could feel that many changes had occurred, starting from the soul and the most important aspect of it was that the sword made of innate substance seemed to have undergone some change. She could feel it, some unique runes were vaguely outlined on it, due to the fact that she was going back she did not have the luxury of observing it but she could tell that the attack power had risen by a level.

In the same way, she felt eager to try the might of the sword, especially when she realized that even her soul had been strengthened by about three times. This in itself is an exaggeration as the soul takes a long time to improve, but still, it had yet to reach the threshold of breaking to another level. The issue did not bother her much, as she was not very paranoid like Wang and preferred to deal with issues before her instead. In this way, she could be said to be someone that is more focused on the situation before her. The other issues are left to fate, but this is because Wang takes time to worry about his things, making his own plans to ensure survival tomorrow.

Since the couple did not have any artifacts obtained in legitimate ways, they could only travel using their bodies. Covering vast amounts of distance in a day, being alone she was capable of moving without having to worry about things such as rest. But this time she felt uncomfortable before she detected some fluctuations appearing in her field of perception. She did not know what was happening but did not intend to find out, her top priority seemed going back and thus she wanted to take a slight detour.

Wanting to use the power of law o accelerate right from this place. she heard a voice echoing close to her ears. At this time she was dressed in a blue dress and white coat, yet it did not stop her from outlining her beauty. But due to having spent most of her time on cultivation, she did not seem to care about the sound of the person that was calling her at all. She was focused on going back to wait for Wang’s setup that would allow her to train in the hidden cave. She could feel that that place might indeed give her some inspiration and even the best way to train her soul was this place.

In that case, this is not something she cared about as her thoughts were drifting thinking about something else. But when the other party arrived and found that the person before him was in a daze, called out again.

The Ruruo that had a dazed expression recovered but instead of looking at the figure before her, rather her eyes seemed to have focused in another direction. From there he could indeed feel some aura that made her expression change several times but in the end, she seemed to have made up her mind. She took some effort to stabilize her emotions as the sword was about to leave her consciousness based on the mood she was just displaying.

The white rune mark on the sword in his consciousness seemed to have some gleam, but Ruruo did not pay attention to it. He felt some familiar aura in the distance and this seemed to have become a stimulation as some killing intent seemed to have manifested for a while before it dispersed by the time the man arrived Ruruo had disappeared but he was still shivering from the killing intent just now.

When he was panting an old woman appeared beside him, and the man with a pale face looked at her with some difficulty. “Are you her opponent?” The young man asked in some commanding tone, but the old woman did not seem to mind this, she just looked in the direction the woman left and sighed.”I doubt it, from the moment she released that killing intent, to dispersing it, I failed to even see her move. She just disappeared, it seems she is not targeting you but someone else.”

Listening to the old woman mumbling to herself the young man was almost fuming, “Of course I know he was not targetting me. That killing intent did not lock on me at all, she released it after coming from a daze when I called out to her. But that is not important, I asked whether you could handle her?”

.....

Listening to the statement by the young man, the old woman sighed, “There are only two types of people you do not meddle with when in the same realm at my level, and she seems to be one of them.” The woman said in a serious tone but the young man was very disappointed with this answer. Still, he did not lose his cool as he was curious about the two kinds of people this old woman was babbling on about.

“What kind of people are you talking about?” Hearing the young man’s question the woman’s tone become serious.

“The woman is one of them, which seems like a life and death feud, remember even in the future, to never try involving yourself in a life and death feud. Some people might take revenge very seriously and use it as fuel to continue becoming stronger until their enemies are all eradicated, but in the end, such people will live and die with their enemies. The second kind is the madmen. This kind of person is even more damaged than those seeking revenge and once anyone crosses them then, they fight to the death. Madmen are even willing to use their lives as a condition to gain whatever they want.” As she explained, suddenly she grabbed the young man and bolted through the sky at a fast speed as though escaping from something.

She felt some terror seemingly casting its gaze on their location and was forced to escape with the young man and when they were far away, she looked behind her with some horror on her face. She then thought of the things she just said and does not remember saying unwarranted to be targeted.

Ruruo kept approaching in a certain direction as guided by her perception, she ignored everything else and continued searching for hours yet she could not find the person. Even with his soul power utilized to the limit, it becomes clear that finding what he wanted might not be easy. But even with the eruption of this soul power to search for what he wanted he could only feel some frost left in place, as an indication that someone had been around.

She shook her head and smiled wryly, as he had even deviated from the original objective and now it seemed that she had developed some strong killing intent for the Ice Sect compared to the past.

“It seems that Wang was right! My mental state has not improved at all during this period it seems he is right. I should focus on improving on this.” He thought about it and decided that this time he had to deal with a lot of issues before he tried to improve his cultivation again or it might end up becoming a problem. But as she was about to leave he felt the aura gain, but this time it was faint, yet she was sure the aura was the same as before. Even though faint, it was indeed the aura he was thinking about, as it can only be released by those who practice the Ice sect arts. In that case, she had no reason to let go of the person, rather felt that it was an opportunity to exercise her muscles.

Ever since she came outside the hidden cave she was not really sure how strong she has become but could feel she needed a place to vent the energy swimming in his body. Perhaps some new discoveries could be useful to his way of the sword, as this practice continued to deepen she needed to fight against even stronger opponents.

Recently, she did not seem to have much interest in a lot of things, but the way things are happening how could she not feel that she was facing a big problem? The only way for her to feel like she was lost is if someone was slowly deciding her path. But that situation would be something to consider later, as for now dealing with the person is important.

Unlike before she could feel that there were trails left behind this time, perhaps it is just a matter of time before she could locate the other party. When she spread out her perception, she found the source of the Ice Sect arts being utilized and it seemed even more so that she was about to rush out and make a move when she sobered up and started to withdraw her perception.

That cold air seemed to slowly spread and she could tell that the person involved was extremely strong but still at the level of law. But he did not dare continue forward since he could feel that the energy from the aftermath of whatever was going on could indeed hurt her. In a way, the idea of acting as some oriole was dismissed by him.

The fact that the other party was this strong meant that going near them would become no different from committing suicide, as the strength required to pull it off was not small. Even such a level of strength when the opponent might not be threatened by her. Perhaps she could indeed afford to cause some harm but killing would be an overreach. The feeling was however somehow uncomfortable considering the fact that she came here with some objective.

“Indeed, being calm in this situation has helped me to avoid a disaster! It seems that the plans to take out the person are not something that can be rushed. I doubt that the person from the Ice sect came alone but that is not what he suspects at all. If the person came alone, then this indicates an even bigger plot underway or opportunity and risk of being discovered high. In that case, whatever is involved is something even though I want to also go ahead and check out something that feels out of place, danger might be too high.”
