Chapter 825 Farewell

Chapter 825: Chapter 825 Farewell

This feeling, it was as if I were lost in a grand dream of spring and autumn.

The room lacked enough chairs, prompting Housekeeper Zhai to instruct the servants to bring some more.

After that, everyone took their seats.

Jing Yan and Gao Feng sat side by side at the head of the table. Jing Yan had wanted Yan Zhuang and Gao Hui to sit there, but they firmly declined.

As for the siblings Yan Qingbi, they clearly did not qualify to sit here and could only stand on the periphery.

What followed was casual conversation.

Hall Master Jing Yan did not govern Green Field County, but Prince Zhao Kun still briefed him on the general situation of the county.

As for the clan leaders of those families, each of them exhibited an extraordinary ability to flatter without a hint of embarrassment or shame.

These people sat for nearly four hours before they eventually excused themselves.

Jing Yan also made it clear to Prince Zhao Kun that he would be leaving Green Field County in a few days and would not notify him specially, nor would he require a send-off.

After Zhao Kun and the others left, Yan Zhuang and his wife could not relax at all. Though Gao Feng was their niece, and both she and Jing Yan were unpretentious, they were still extremely cautious.

As for Yan Qingbi and Yan Kuan, they were even more overwhelmed; their attitudes of reverence now starkly different from before, they dared not even call her "cousin."

Jing Yan and Gao Feng stayed at the Yan’s for two days before bidding farewell to Yan Zhuang and Gao Hui.

Of course, Jing Yan also left behind numerous resources needed by the Yan family. While ordinary Spirit Stones and other common resources were not lacking in the Yan household, what Jing Yan gave them was something they couldn’t buy with Spirit Stones.

This was his way of repaying them for their care of Gao Feng and her brother, Gao Zhan.

"Little Feng has left!"

"Yes, who would have thought that Little Feng could have been associated with Lord Jing Yan..."

"You’re right! Thankfully, Little Feng didn’t listen to you back then and marry that son from the Zhu family."

"..." Yan Zhuang and his wife watched as Jing Yan and the others departed.

After leaving Green Field County, Jing Yan and Gao Feng began their journey back to Donglin City.

The deadline of a year agreed upon with Guardian Chen Long was drawing closer.

Upon returning to Donglin City, Jing Yan spent more than two months with Gao Feng before he inevitably had to leave her.

He also said goodbye to his father, Jing Lunnan. Jing Lunnan knew that Jing Yan was entering the Despair Abyss and wanted to accompany him, but in the end, Jing Yan persuaded him to stay in Donglin City.

Though Jing Lunnan was a practitioner of the Dao Emperor Realm, such Cultivation was still relatively dangerous in the Despair Abyss. It would be alright if he only stayed in the Buffer Zone, but Jing Yan needed to venture deep into the Despair Abyss, in the area inhabited by the Divine Race.

Jing Lunnan knew this too, so he accepted Jing Yan’s decision, knowing that if he accompanied Jing Yan into the Despair Abyss, he might distract him and become a burden.

A few days later, Jing Yan arrived in Pill Country and said goodbye to the Pill Spirit City Lord, Hu Donghe, while also visiting Jing Chenxing and Jing Qingyan.

Finally, Jing Yan returned to the Holy City.

At the Splendid Dojo, Jing Yan still had some instructions to give. Though he was about to leave the Heavenly Origin Continent, the Splendid Dojo still needed to operate, and the Glory Alliance could not be disbanded.

With the support of the Saint Master and the Hall Masters, the operation of the dojo and the alliance should not be too problematic.

After explaining everything necessary, Jing Yan entered the Holy Palace to see Saint Master Shen Chong.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, when are you planning to depart for the Despair Abyss?" Only Shen Chong, Chang Huan, and Jing Yan were present in the Holy Hall.

"I plan to leave tomorrow!" Jing Yan stated.

"Hmm, a day earlier or later doesn’t make much difference. However, Hall Master Jing Yan, although you are a practitioner of the Saint Realm, you still need to be careful in the Despair Abyss. The Divine Race in the Despair Abyss includes some Saint Realm practitioners. We human Saint Realm practitioners must leave the Heavenly Origin Continent, but the Saint Realm of the Despair Abyss doesn’t have this restriction." Shen Chong said solemnly.

"I understand." Jing Yan smiled, "If I encounter Saint Realm practitioners of the Divine Race and can’t defeat them, I can still run. My speed is so fast that even Saint Realm practitioners of the Divine Race would find it hard to catch me."

Senior Ling Luo had once slain many Divine Race Saint Realm practitioners; Sky Wings were absolutely essential. If it weren’t for being tricked into being surrounded by Saint Realm practitioners of the Divine Race, Senior Ling Luo might not have died.

Moreover, currently, in the Despair Abyss, the number of Saint Realm practitioners is definitely not as many as before the Great War with Human Gods. Jing Yan being cautious should not be a big problem.

"Hmm, I know you understand." Shen Chong smiled, acknowledging Jing Yan’s extreme speed.

"By the way, once you enter the buffer zone of the Despair Abyss, you should visit Mr. Zhong in the Abyss Market. Mr. Zhong has substantial energy and knows things ordinary people don’t. Perhaps from him, you can get information about Bai Xue." Shen Chong then mentioned.

He knew about Bai Xue too.

When Jing Yan was once deep in the Death Abyss, everyone thought he had died. Bai Xue, a woman, went into the Despair Abyss alone—such courage was rare indeed.

"Mr. Zhong..." Jing Yan squinted his eyes.

Last time Jing Yan entered the Despair Abyss, he was being pursued by the Gai Family, so he had to hide in the Despair Abyss. Jing Yan had visited the Abyss Market then.

He did not know how Ancient Family Ancestor Gu Wanquan had found him in the vast buffer zone of the Despair Abyss. But later, Jing Yan guessed that Gu Wanquan might have used Mr. Zhong from the Abyss Market to ascertain his general location.

"Sure, I’ll visit him!" Jing Yan nodded affirmatively, squinting.

"Oh, once you leave, we might rarely meet again. I am the Saint Master of the Heavenly Origin Continent, and it isn’t convenient for me to frequently enter the buffer zone of the Despair Abyss." Shen Chong felt somewhat emotional.

"Heh, there will always be a day when we meet again." Jing Yan chuckled.

This statement might not be fully understood by Shen Chong, and Jing Yan did not elaborate further. What was in his heart was that once his Martial Arts Cultivation could compare to Guardian Chen Long, he would be able to return to the Heavenly Origin Continent.

In this world, Martial Force rules supreme. With enough power, there’s sufficient say.

This holds true for humans, for the Divine Race, and for Guardian Chen Long too.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, you must survive! I won’t say more!" The Grand Steward, Chang Huan, looked at Jing Yan earnestly.

"Ah, Grand Steward, take care as well!" Jing Yan replied in a deliberately light tone.

...

The next day, Jing Yan left the Holy City alone and flew rapidly towards the Despair Abyss.

Just one day later, he entered the buffer zone of the Despair Abyss, a region where even the air seemed dark red.

Standing in the upper airspace at the border, Jing Yan turned around and looked deeply at the Heavenly Origin Continent once more.

"Feng’er, I will return!" Jing Yan clenched his hand, took a deep breath, and silently turned his thoughts inward.
