Night Without End

Chapter 1682: Chapter 665: Opening the Door

The world felt like an abyss, the night was deeply shrouded.

No daylight, the eternal theme of Yewu World. Especially after leaving the city areas, most of the wild regions are as black as ink.

Qin Ming’s heart was as gloomy as this night.

Who had set their sights on him? It’s been over twenty days, yet they haven’t given up.

That cold aura, like the shadow of a demon crawling out of Hell, lingered around him, unwilling to leave, causing his heart to tremble.

He moved away silently, not daring to use much mana.

Qin Ming was certain that he was being watched by a terrifying giant creature, and the feeling was extremely dismal.

Not long ago, he was still a renowned Great Saint, receiving various hospitality in Yao Guang City amidst constant social engagements, standing in brilliantly lit places.

Now, he was cold and lonely, the night deep and eerie, traveling alone, shrouded in the shadow of death. Life’s circumstances are unpredictable, and even his life could be overturned in an instant.

Qin Ming’s heart was heavy, the crisis behind him was like a bone-sucking infection.

In the night sky above, fierce gusts of wind howled, he "went with the flow," paying no mind to his location, not wishing to leave even a trace of Qi Mechanism, allowing himself to be carried along, floating in the thick fog.

Qin Ming couldn’t believe it, after all this, he was isolated from the outside, could the opponent still track him down?

Who knows how long it had been, the broken cloth gradually descended from above the clouds.

This was a sizeable highland, with vast stretches of barren land, not a blade of grass, indicating those areas had no Fire Springs and were in complete darkness.

Scattered firelight indicated places of life.

Qin Ming felt the desolation of autumn; in this highland, yellow leaves were already falling in the woods.

In the mountains, a few hunters came and went, medicine gatherers also appeared, occasionally Earth Light rose, illuminating the dark forest, revealing lurking beasts, Exotic Birds, and such.

Qin Ming floated down and saw a boy in shabby clothes, cautiously approaching a clump of spiritual plants.

"Roar!"

A scarlet bear, standing over three meters high, with fur like blood and a ferocious look, suddenly leapt out, swinging its sharp giant claws towards the boy’s head.

The boy was very alert, quickly rolling away, and at the same time, slashed upwards, leaving a bloody cut on the scarlet bear.

Unfortunately, the wound was not deep; although the boy was strong and the blade very sharp, the scarlet bear’s fur was resilient, as it was an altered beast.

The scarlet bear lunged forward, with a clang, swatting the long blade away with a paw, its bloody mouth filled with terrifying fangs, the foul-smelling hot breath spraying on the boy’s face.

The boy turned pale, his body trembling slightly, using all his strength to roll away, but he was still going to be killed.

Qin Ming watched him, thinking of himself.

Back in Black and White Mountain, during a snow-bound winter, he had gone into the mountains alone to hunt Blood Snakes, risking his life as well.

He flicked a finger, momentarily immobilizing the scarlet bear.

Though surprised, the boy reacted quickly, picking up the long blade, stabbing it into the bear’s mouth, and then repeatedly stabbing, finally collapsing on the ground, gasping heavily.

Overcoming his fear, he was full of joy, excitedly muttering to himself, "Father, I’ve gathered the spiritual plant, I can evolve, and it can cure your sickness."

He quickly dug up the plant, though reluctant to leave behind the massive scarlet bear, he eventually gave up, not daring to linger, turning to run out of the dense forest.

The broken cloth attached itself to him, carried along as he ran away.

In the following days, Qin Ming observed silently from the boy’s perspective, not interfering, drifting away again after a while.

However, he did not leave this highland.

He just couldn’t believe that by limiting his use of Taoist skills and blending into the ordinary, such a ghostly presence could still follow him track by track?

This highland, vast and sparsely populated, quite desolate.

Qin Ming saw the hardships on the lower levels, living here was truly not easy.

In the Night Fog, whether entering the mountains for hunting, gathering herbs, or harvesting crops ripened by Fire Springs, mutated creatures might be watching from the shadows.

Recently, Qin Ming had been with several Great Saints, standing amidst prosperity, warmly received by the high-ups of noble families, which indeed gave him an illusion.

What he saw and heard had become somewhat distorted.

Now, traveling alone, retreating as if in refuge, this experience, what met his eyes, revealed the most real appearance of the Yewu World.

"No wonder I was deluded, after leaving Ye State, I felt more carefree, because I walked with brothers with significant backgrounds," Qin Ming sighed.

He had fought his way from Ye State, struggling for survival.

Recently, he had become conceited, believing that the Yewu World was so big, everywhere could be ventured, not so dangerous.

Reflecting on recent events, even entering the Land of Fate Change to explore was under the escort of Earth Immortals, which was indeed... distorted, taking him far from his original path.

It was this that led to many misconceptions.

Qin Ming reflected, "I fought my way up from the fiercely competitive bottom of Ye State, I must not forget the past."

In fact, if it weren’t for being mistakenly assumed an affiliate of that Mysterious Family, he likely wouldn’t have received such high respect, nor the attention of various parties.

He reminded himself, everything must depend on oneself, not to be lost in the false halo of a Great Saint.

The identity was false; perhaps one day someone from that Mysterious Family would come to clarify, even punish, stripping him of everything he had.

Despite claiming no relation to that family, others might not heed his explanations at all.
