155: Farewell

The farce ended, but the excitement did not.

Two clowns could not stop the people's enthusiasm.

Gu Qingyun continued to drink with Liu Jiangyi, and the lively atmosphere continued.

It wasn't until late at night that the drinking party finally ended.

...

At the mountain gate.

Dai Liu and the others reluctantly looked at Liu Jiangyi.

“Brother Liu, are you really leaving?”

“If you don't leave, I can apply to have you exceptionally become an Elder of the Immortal Sword Sect.”

“That's right.” Gu Qingyun also said reluctantly, “You're leaving just like that, I really can't bear it. Why don't you stay at the Immortal Sword Sect?”

“You and I, brothers, drinking and chatting, how carefree that would be!”

To be honest, Liu Jiangyi really wanted to stay at the Immortal Sword Sect now.

But he couldn't do that.

Ya Ya was still waiting for him in Hantie City.

His son was also still in City 39.

Liu Jiangyi had too many ties; he couldn't abandon them and stay at the Immortal Sword Sect himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiangyi said with a bitter smile, “Everyone, it's not that I, Liu Jiangyi, am unwilling to stay, it's that I cannot stay.”

“I still have unfinished business to attend to. I will definitely return someday.”

“Liu Jiangyi?” Gu Qingyun was stunned.

Dai Liu and the others were also stunned.

“You… you're not called Liu Shan?”

Liu Jiangyi reached out and touched his face, and his disguise immediately came off.

Dai Liu and the others were immediately shocked!

“You… you used a disguise!?”

“No wonder! No wonder you're so powerful; it turns out you're not even in your twenties?”

“But to achieve such accomplishments at around forty is equally Heaven-Defying!”

“Liu… no, Brother Liu, what exactly is going on?” Gu Qingyun was dumbfounded.

If Liu Jiangyi had suddenly done this before, the people of the Immortal Sword Sect would have definitely been on high alert.

But Liu Jiangyi had done too much.

Even if Liu Jiangyi used a disguise, they couldn't possibly attack him.

Liu Jiangyi said with a bitter smile, “To be frank, I am actually not from Hantie City, but from the Lower City they speak of.”

“You are from another world!?” Gu Qingyun was shocked.

“That's right, and it's precisely because of this that I asked you if the Immortal Sword Sect also enslaved other worlds.”

“My purpose in coming to Hantie City this time is to return to my world through Hantie City's teleportation array.”

“If fate allows, I will definitely return to the Immortal Sword Sect, but in that world, I still have my ties. I cannot abandon them and stay here. I hope you all understand.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

“Alas, for a person from the Lower City to develop to this extent, we can't imagine how much suffering you've endured.”

“We also deeply resent Hantie City's actions, but we… are powerless.”

“You are the benefactor of our Immortal Sword Sect. Whether you are Brother Liu or Brother Liu, the Immortal Sword Sect will always be your home!”

“Exactly!” Gu Qingyun once again put his arm around Liu Jiangyi's shoulder and laughed heartily, “No matter what, you are my brother, Gu Qingyun, and my benefactor, Gu Qingyun. My life, Gu Qingyun, will always be yours!”

Everyone's words deeply moved Liu Jiangyi.

Since coming to this Dimensional Trial Grounds, Liu Jiangyi had never felt such a sense of returning home.

Liu Jiangyi nodded heavily, “Of course, no matter what, the Immortal Sword Sect is my home. I will not forget this place, and I will definitely return.”

“Brother Gu, don't rush into Zhu Xia's matter for now.”

“You haven't Cultivated all these years, while Zhu Xia has been constantly progressing. If you rashly go to find her now, it wouldn't be a wise choice.”

“Don't worry.” Gu Qingyun nodded, “After so many years of tempering, I am no longer that hot-headed youth.”

“I will make thorough preparations before going to find her and completely resolve my inner turmoil.”

“Mm! I believe you!” Liu Jiangyi nodded heavily, saying reluctantly, “Even after a long journey, there comes a time for farewell.”

“Let's part ways here, everyone. Liu Jiangyi… bids farewell!”

“Wait!”

At this moment, Dai Liu took out a qiankun bag, stepped forward, and then took out a light green pearl, handing it to Liu Jiangyi.

“This is?”

“This is a qiankun pearl.”

Liu Jiangyi was immediately overjoyed, “You… how did you know I wanted this item?”

Dai Liu smiled, “You are from another world, but it's impossible to return through Hantie City's official teleportation array.”

“With your strength, I imagine you must have already found a way to return, so I thought this qiankun pearl might be able to help you.”

Liu Jiangyi said excitedly, “It can! Of course it can!”

“I have already prepared everything; all I'm missing now is this qiankun pearl!”

Dai Liu handed the qiankun pearl to Liu Jiangyi, “Take it. The Immortal Sword Sect is your home, and the Immortal Sword Sect can still provide these trivial aids.”

“This time, the Sect Master and the Grand Elders are all in seclusion, otherwise I would definitely have taken you to meet them.”

“As for Elder Ouyang's matter, you don't need to worry about it. The Sect Master has already located his whereabouts. Once the Sect Master and the Grand Elders come out of seclusion, they will personally kill him to avenge you!”

“Thank you!”

Liu Jiangyi accepted the qiankun pearl, clasped his hands in a bow to Dai Liu, and then turned and left.

It wasn't until Liu Jiangyi's figure had disappeared for a long time that the Elders finally left.

Eventually, only Dai Liu and Gu Qingyun remained at the mountain gate.

“Alas, this Liu Jiangyi is no Mortal, but unfortunately… my Immortal Sword Sect cannot keep him,” Dai Liu sighed, shaking his head.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

Gu Qingyun, however, laughed heartily and freely, “It doesn't matter. Even if my Immortal Sword Sect cannot keep Brother Liu, with his talent, he is destined to stand proudly on Hongyuan Planet.”

“I believe that one day, the Immortal Sword Sect will stand at the pinnacle of the world because of Brother Liu!”

“And what we need to do is to Cultivate diligently and meet him… at the peak!”

Dai Liu's body trembled, and he finally showed a relieved smile.

He bowed to Gu Qingyun, “Grand Elder… you are absolutely right!”

...

On the other side.

Liu Jiangyi hurriedly ran down the mountain, then patted the qiankun bag Dai Liu had given him at his waist, and a carriage pulled by a Blue Flame Horse appeared beside him.

Liu Jiangyi jumped into the carriage and, under the cover of night, rushed at full speed towards Hantie City.

...

Hantie City, hotel.

Liu Jiangyi tiptoed as he opened the door, inside was a distinct snoring sound.

Liu Jiangyi walked in.

His old face immediately flushed red!

He saw that Ya Ya, this girl, was actually sleeping sprawled out, and… her clothes were on the floor!

“You!”

“Ah!!!”

Ya Ya woke up with a start, covering herself and burrowing under the covers.

“You… are you sick! Coming in without knocking?”

“Uh…” Liu Jiangyi's old face turned red, and he chuckled awkwardly, “Cough cough, it's not like we haven't seen each other before, it's fine.”

“You! Get out!”

Ya Ya roared in anger.

Liu Jiangyi quickly ran out.

Five minutes later.

Ya Ya stormed out, fuming. She came barefoot in front of Liu Jiangyi and, without a word, slapped him hard.

Slap!

“You pervert!”
