"What, Senior, are you leaving?"
Su He was shocked upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words.
It seemed somewhat unexpected that Chu Fengmian would say he was leaving.
He couldn’t stay here forever; Chu Fengmian had much to face, the seven major sects, and Beimang Academy. He couldn’t abandon all of this.
Meeting old friends indeed brought great joy to Chu Fengmian, but he still had to leave.
Now bringing Su He to this Holy Land and teaching her the Path of Artifact Refining could already ensure she had nothing to worry about, with no dangers, allowing her to focus on cultivating in the Path of Artifact Refining.
This was already enough.
"You can cultivate diligently in the Path of Artifact Refining here and even break through your Realm. The Su family has declined, but I hope it can rise again because of you."
With a flicker of his figure, Chu Fengmian’s presence vanished from the courtyard, leaving behind only a pile of Elixir Pills and Spirit Stones beneath his feet.
These were sufficient to support Su He’s cultivation, and the materials contained in the warehouse within this courtyard were enough for her training.
What he did was enough, and where Su He would go from here depended on her own Creation.
It wasn’t until Chu Fengmian left that Su He gradually returned to her senses.
She understood in her heart that Chu Fengmian had his own matters to attend to and couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
As for her, Su He, she could only cultivate. Only when she truly became a master of Artifact Refining would she be qualified to chase after Chu Fengmian’s footsteps.
"It’s been a long time since anyone from the Su family came. Child, come here."
The Nine Dragons Cauldron in the palace slowly spoke, summoning Su He forward.
The bronze gate closed again with Chu Fengmian’s departure. Outside, no one would have imagined there was another world within the Bai Wu.
After leaving the Su family Holy Land, Chu Fengmian went to the nearest city without hesitation, using the Teleportation Array to directly leave, preparing to return to Beimang Academy.
For Chu Fengmian, the academy’s usefulness had diminished, but it was the legacy of his senior brother’s lifelong dedication, and his master, the Xuan Bei Sage, was also there.
Thus, returning to Beimang Academy was imperative for Chu Fengmian.
After taking ten days of time.
Chu Fengmian finally returned to Beimang Academy through the Teleportation Array, heading to the Northern Barrens Sanctuary and entering his own Sword Comprehension Peak.
The Sword Qi surrounding Sword Comprehension Peak detected Chu Fengmian’s aura, opened up, and created a path for him to walk through.
"Who is it? The Sword Qi of Sword Comprehension Peak actually opened?"
The change on Sword Comprehension Peak naturally didn’t escape the notice of countless disciples in the Northern Barrens Sanctuary, all itching to explore the peak.
Among the many peaks in the sanctuary, Sword Comprehension Peak had the densest Spiritual Energy, making cultivation there incredibly rapid.
Once claimed by Ye Tianjun, none dared to trespass, but after the Holy Party was destroyed by Chu Fengmian, many harbored thoughts.
After all, Ye Tianjun’s might was well-known throughout Beimang Academy, and no one dared challenge his authority.
While Chu Fengmian’s strength was formidable, claiming the top spot on the Northern Region’s Absolute List, his deterrence couldn’t match Ye Tianjun’s past influence in the hearts of many disciples.
However, the Sword Qi surrounding Sword Comprehension Peak stood firm. Disciples of the sanctuary attempting to approach were instantly obliterated by it.
Were it not for an ancient elder of the sanctuary intervening, they might have perished.
"Chu Fengmian has returned!"
Seeing the change on Sword Comprehension Peak, many sanctuary disciples realized there was only one possibility.
It meant Chu Fengmian had returned.
Only his return would trigger such a change on the peak.
"This Chu Fengmian dared to return; I thought he would die in the Ruins Heaven, but he’s back."
A former Holy Party disciple, eyes cold, flickered as he watched Chu Fengmian’s return.
"Damn it, his strength is even stronger than before, more difficult to handle."
"Apparently, Han Yueli, who usually accompanies him, didn’t return. She might have perished in Ruins Heaven."
Some disciples of the sanctuary noticed.
This time, Chu Fengmian returned alone.
Usually inseparable, Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli operated together, yet this time he came back alone.
"No matter who returns, this time it’s a path to self-destruction. This kid dares to return, seemingly forgetting the past!"
An ominous-looking Martial Artist, Ning Li, spoke angrily.
"The Holy Lord is a Ye family genius; he probably doesn’t know who’s dominant here, daring to come back after offending the Ye family. He must be tired of living!"
"A boy, slightly fortunate, became arrogant, yet to the Ye family he’s but an ant, easily crushed. Just wait; his end is near!"
Ning Li laughed coldly, his figure shifting as he left.
Chu Fengmian’s return quickly spread throughout the Northern Sanctuary, known by all in just one day.
Chu Fengmian participated in the martial arts competition, claimed first on the Northern Region’s Absolute List, killed Ye Tianjun, and gained immense opportunities in Ruins Heaven, making him jubilant.
Yet many Martial Artists looked at Sword Comprehension Peak with cold smiles.
Chu Fengmian had offended the Ye family; last time, he was spared by the Xuan Bei Sage’s protection, but he couldn’t shield him forever.
This time, the Ye family would certainly kill Chu Fengmian.
The greedy eyes of many sanctuary disciples now fixed on Sword Comprehension Peak.
Once Chu Fengmian dies, the peak becomes ownerless, open for anyone to claim.
"Master is not in the Northern Sanctuary?"
Returning to Sword Comprehension Peak, Chu Fengmian swept his Spiritual Sense across the sanctuary, not sensing the aura of the Xuan Bei Sage.
This made Chu Fengmian’s brow furrow tightly.
