In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

The sword slashed down.

Buzz————

The entire space seemed to be filled with that thick bloody aura. The scarlet sword light struck the Taotie without a doubt, cutting through the huge Taotie as easily as cutting tofu.

Before the Taotie could even roar, it was cleaved in two, crashing to the ground with a thud and falling silent.

The phantom of the Immortal-Slaying Sword has disappeared, and Ji Chao is about to burn out.

With a relaxed smile, he turned to look at the trembling Wen Ju.

"Take my child and go find my brother."

Ji Chao closed his eyes and finally turned into ashes, completely disappearing from this world.

His voice still lingers in the world.

"From now on, let the two brothers live as human beings."

---Aside---

I'm so embarrassed

Chapter 783 Knowing the Direction

The sky was so blue, as if it had lost all its white clouds.

The First Emperor, far away on his way back from Xianyang, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He rubbed his eyes and involuntarily looked westward, feeling an emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something.

Wen Ju was still standing there when suddenly his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

The sky above the rainforest had lost its blood-red hue, as if it had never existed.

Wen Ju knelt there, mouth agape, eyes vacant, watching Ji Chao's last remaining life force dissipate in the air. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry out.

The First Evolution

The Taotie's corpse lay in the distance, rotting extremely quickly; in no time, only its skeleton remained.

On the other side, there lay the unconscious elf, all her magic power plundered. Although it would be replenished quickly, Ji Chao's palm strike was extremely powerful, and the elf probably wouldn't wake up for a while.

Wen Ju lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"grown ups......"

He remained kneeling there, surrounded by the remaining corpses of the alien race, shaking his head slightly without any awareness, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He was only fully awakened by the excruciating pain in his chest and abdomen when the sky turned a bloodless red again.

"Ugh... Ugh—" He mumbled a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Being hit by a shockwave of that magnitude, how could Wen Ju, with his mortal body, possibly remain unaffected?

He was already injured, and badly injured; his internal organs were probably completely destroyed.

Wiping her mouth, Wen Ju paid no attention to the potentially fatal injury and simply stood up shakily.

"My lord... I have one last task."

"Although Wen Ju addresses you as 'My Lord,' he has not fulfilled even the slightest responsibility as a retainer. This final task..."

"Wen Ju, even if it means death, you must complete this task."

His voice was soft and trembling weakly, but it was incredibly firm.

He glanced back at the still unconscious Xiang brothers, then bent down and patted Xiang An's face: "Hey, Xiang An, wake up... huh?"

He felt that Xiang An... seemed to have shrunk quite a bit?

Wen Ju realized something, turned to look at Xiang Yu, and found that Xiang Yu had also turned into a young man.

"this......"

He suddenly understood.

"The master wants them to live in this world as real human beings..." He looked at the young Xiang Yu and young Xiang An lying in front of him, "but with these bloody memories from abroad, it is absolutely impossible for them to integrate into the newly transformed Central Plains."

He looked around and noticed that a long pole remained of the remains of Xiang An's beaker, lying some distance away.

He walked over, picked up the pole, and put the unconscious Xiang Yu and Xiang An, who were clutching his legs, into a leather bag. He then hung the bag at both ends of the pole and placed the heavy pole on his shoulder.

Carrying other heavy loads on her back, Wen Ju glanced back at the sky, ignoring the pain in her abdomen and the pain from the various wounds on her limbs, and shifted the load up a bit.

Ignoring the approaching night, Wen Ju walked eastward, stepping into the evening glow.

I will complete the task you entrusted to me, Lord Xiang Chao, I certainly will.

Moreover... a great man like Xiang Chao would never die.

He simply stepped out of time.

This road is incredibly long; it takes an unknown amount of time to travel from the southwest to the Chu region.

But Wenju insisted on going.

Perhaps, as he said, the real Wen Ju had already thrown himself into the turbulent river that day, and the Wen Ju who followed Ji Chao to the border was just a walking corpse.

Even a walking corpse has its own awareness.

I am not as great as Lord Xiang, who was willing to shoulder the safety of the entire Central Plains. I am just a lowly soldier who escaped from the battlefield by chance but still does not know how to cherish it.

That enlightenment was as bright as the moon, so dazzling that Wenju dared not look directly at it.

I dared not look directly at it, yet I felt a longing in my heart.

If sacrificing one's life to slay that Taotie here was a sign of a great man's enlightenment...

This journey is my awakening.

Wen Ju's eyes were firm as she walked steadily, one step at a time.

He was in constant, excruciating pain in his abdomen. He could feel his internal organs being crushed by the weight of the burden, and being torn apart by the injuries. But he ignored it and kept walking.

The surrounding area was swarming with mosquitoes, which bit Wen Ju relentlessly, draining his blood and exhausting his strength, but he ignored them and continued walking.

When they encountered ferocious beasts along the way, Wenju quickened his pace and led his two brothers leaping through the forest.

Aside from occasionally stopping to grab a bite to eat and a sip of water, Wenju rarely slept and never stopped moving.

The brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An remained asleep, clinging to their legs like infants in the leather pouch.

Wen Ju looked at the two brothers and sighed.

The two brothers, who were once able to chat and laugh with him, were first struck by the Taotie's roar and seriously injured. Now, the adult has used some unknown method on them, and they have not yet woken up.

After a short rest, Wenju picked up his load and continued on his way.

......

The First Emperor had not yet returned to Xianyang. Sitting in his carriage, he was restless.

Why do I feel flustered? Why do I feel uneasy?

Could it be Chao Di...?

No, no, Chao Di is incredibly resourceful, he'll definitely be fine.

Why do I feel that something has happened in the west?

Could it be that Chao Di is coming back? Is that why I have this feeling?

Yes, that must be it!

When Chaodi returns, I will definitely ask him what the situation is like outside the Great Wall, and then tell him about my great achievement of unifying the world!

When the time comes, I must give him a good thrashing. If he knows that I have unified the world, he probably won't be able to maintain that calm and collected demeanor anymore! Hahaha!

The First Emperor lifted the curtain of his carriage, looked out at the slightly gloomy sky, and thought optimistically to himself.

...Chao Di.

When will you return...?

......

I don't know how many days have passed.

Carrying the load, Wenju finally emerged from the southwestern rainforest and reached a mountain.

This is the border between the Southwest and Central Plains Grand Formation.

Compared to before, Wenju's robust body had become much thinner.

Wen Ju couldn't see the grand formation, but he seemed to hear something moving in his pocket.

He temporarily put the load on the ground, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the mechanical bird, Zhi Xiang.

"Zhi Xiang, you... um?" Zhi Xiang struggled in his hands, but what happened next astonished Wen Ju.

The tiny, exquisite mechanical bird, Zhi Xiang, slowly circled and took flight.

Moreover, as it circled, it constantly transformed and recombined, eventually becoming a mechanical bird as big as a person, with expressive eyes that seemed to possess intelligence, staring intently at Wenju.

Chapter 7814 Let's take a break, Black-faced Ghost

"Knowing the direction..."

Wen Ju looked at Zhi Xiang, which was flapping its wings and flying in the air like a real living being, and couldn't help but sigh.

Card--

Zhi Xiang is not beautiful, but she is stunning.

It made a mechanical sound, turned its head in mid-air, and flew off in one direction.

"Is this... guiding me?" Wen Ju understood Zhi Xiang's meaning and realized the true significance of Zhi Xiang.

This is a backup plan left by Ji Chao, and he has many backup plans.
