The Old Emperor recovers and dismisses his ministers, secretly planning with his son, Jing Kang. Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng, feeling suspicious, decide to leave for the Teta Desert. However, the Old Emperor summons them, expressing his gratitude for saving his life. He rewards Qin Qingfeng with taxes from a frontier city and offers Chen Yang a reward, which Chen Yang declines, opting instead for the terms previously agreed upon with Jing Kang. The Old Emperor accepts this and bestows upon Chen Yang a Royal Token of the Great Jing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Since the Old Emperor had spoken, he naturally wouldn’t refuse and immediately chose to accept the token.

"Hmm, well, I’ve called you here for just these matters." After rewarding Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng, the Old Emperor looked at Jing Kang: "Kang’er, take Elder Qin, friend Chen Yang, and the others to rest first. My body has just recovered and needs nurturing."

"Yes, Father Emperor." Jing Kang promptly nodded.

"Your Majesty, I take my leave."

...

Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng also gave a slight bow and then left the Imperial Palace.

After leaving the palace, the group returned together to the Eastern Palace.

By the time they reached the Eastern Palace, it was already midnight.

Jing Kang initially wanted to entertain Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng and the others.

However, Chen Yang had no time for this.

Upon returning to the Eastern Palace, he immediately approached Jing Kang with his intention to leave.

This time, his destination was still the Teta Desert, not the Great Jing Dynasty.

Moreover, he sensed that even though the Old Emperor had recovered, the Great Jing Dynasty was still turbulent.

He did not want to become involved in crises unrelated to him, so naturally, he chose to leave first.

Jing Kang was very surprised to hear Chen Yang say he was leaving.

"Brother Chen Yang, why are you leaving so urgently?" Jing Kang asked in confusion.

Chen Yang explained with a smile: "Jing Kang, my original destination wasn’t the Great Jing Dynasty; what happened before was merely unexpected."

"Now that the unexpected matters have been resolved, I should naturally leave, plus I can’t assist you any further."

"With your father here, the Great Jing Dynasty still remains the Great Jing Dynasty."

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Jing Kang fell silent.

"Well, although the Mystic Realm is vast, there will ultimately be chances to meet again. Mountains and rivers are long, until next time." Chen Yang cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Jing Kang originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but seeing Chen Yang determined to leave, he couldn’t say more and had to nod in agreement.

"Alright, Brother Chen Yang, I wish you smooth travels. If you ever encounter trouble and need help from the Great Jing Royal Family, you’re always welcome to find me, and I will do my utmost to assist you." Jing Kang said solemnly.

"Rest assured, I will." Chen Yang nodded and agreed.

"By the way, here’s the cultivation technique I promised you earlier. I’ll give it to you now." Jing Kang then took out the Mixed Element Skill from his storage space.

This was a high-grade mystic tier cultivation technique, a royal collection.

Very powerful.

Chen Yang did not refuse and accepted it directly.

Since this had been agreed upon earlier, Chen Yang would naturally not refuse.

"Hmm, I’m leaving now, until we meet again." Chen Yang cupped his hands to bid farewell once more.

"Until we meet again."

Jing Kang also cupped his hands.

Then he instructed the eunuch to escort Chen Yang out of the Imperial Palace, then out of the Capital altogether.

At this time, the Capital was under the veil of night, appearing calm and plain on the surface when, in reality, it was surging beneath.

The Old Emperor had evidently become aware of the actions of the Python King and others, yet didn’t immediately call them to account merely because his health hadn’t stabilized.

Moreover, most of the capital’s deployments were controlled by the Python King.

The Old Emperor surely needed to first recover his health and reclaim control of the capital before dealing with the Prime Minister, the Python King, and others.

Chen Yang understood all this clearly.

In the upcoming days, the capital of the Great Jing Dynasty was bound to undergo a major reckoning.

A massive storm would ensue, possibly sweeping through the entirety of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Chen Yang did not wish to be entangled in it, thus he chose to leave early.

After being escorted out of the Capital by the old eunuch, Chen Yang and Tu Qi immediately headed swiftly toward the northwest of the Great Jing Dynasty.

According to the map, the direction they were heading toward was the Teta Desert...

As Chen Yang and Tu Qi sped away, neither of them noticed a shadow appearing as they departed.

In the woods not far from the Capital, a dark figure emerged.

The figure watched the direction Chen Yang and Tu Qi were heading, emitting a series of chilling laughter, the sound piercingly sharp.

If the Python King were present, he would have immediately recognized the sound.

Isn’t this voice the Ghost Doctor?

...

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

This day, Chen Yang and Tu Qi never stopped, constantly traveling.

The entire journey from the Capital led them to the edge of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Another twenty miles ahead, they’d officially leave the territory of the Great Jing Dynasty.

And then enter the Tercan Empire.

The royal family of this nation reportedly differed from that of the Great Jing Dynasty, precisely how they differed, others hadn’t elaborated.

Chen Yang didn’t ask for details either.

Once they reached there, everything would become clear.

"Brother Chen Yang, there’s a village ahead, how about we go down and take a break? We’ve been flying all day and my stomach is also growling." Tu Qi suddenly turned to Chen Yang as night descended.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang thought for a bit and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let’s go down for a break, I can also check the map to decide our route upon entering the Tercan Empire."

"Great, let’s go." Tu Qi grinned and immediately descended toward the village nestled in the mountains along with Chen Yang.

Upon landing in the village, both immediately sensed a strange aura.

"Brother Chen Yang, this village seems peculiar. The houses and all are quite new, and the yards are clean, yet not a single sound can be heard." Tu Qi stood at the village entrance, observing the darkness within each household, remarked.

Chen Yang’s brows furrowed slightly: "Indeed, something is amiss."

"So, are we going in?" Tu Qi asked.

"Let’s go in and check." Chen Yang thought it over and decided to enter.

For, despite sensing something odd, he did not feel any immediate danger, so he chose to investigate.

Thus, the two entered the village from the entrance.

As soon as they stepped into the village, a strong scent of blood immediately wafted to them.

The two halted abruptly, instantly realizing something was wrong.

But before they could react, they both simultaneously felt something appear behind them.

Their eyes shot back as they turned around.

Behold, an elder with a visage like a ghastly demon, his body consumed by dark flames, was hobbling toward them with a cane.

The elder donned a black robe, but it was splattered with copious fresh blood, making him appear sinister and enchanting.

Is this not the Ghost Doctor, if not, then who is?

"Haha, I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time; finally, you’re here." The Ghost Doctor laughed chillingly.

"Waiting for us? Do you know we were coming?" Chen Yang and Tu Qi were bewildered, asking.

"Haha, not only did I know you were coming, but also where you’re coming from and where you’re headed."

The Ghost Doctor continued to laugh, the dark enchanting flames on his body flaring vigorously in sync with his laughter.

Chen Yang found these words increasingly surprising.

But with a little thought, he quickly understood.

When he left Cangnan Academy, he often felt something trailing behind him; could it have been this ghastly thing here?
