Chapter 26 - Complicated

Wang sat down in the room, observing the snow on the outside, his body was exhausted as he had been practicing outside. It had been close to a week since they dealt with the uninvited fellows but this has not affected his life at all. 

Checking on the water that Ago was continuously pouring on the huge barrel, with medical materials, he sighed and checked his attribute panel, only to see that some changes had occurred there.

The weather today seemed very off, other than being cold due to the snowfall, the clouds in the sky were dark from time to time some lightning could be seen in the sky illuminating the dark clouds. It seemed to have been like this for almost half the day. Wang could not help but feel some sense of gloom from it. 

As he was lost in thought he heard a voice that pulled him back. "The medical liquid should be ready."

Wang looked into the huge barrel and ordered Ago to retreat, as he put his hand in the hot medical liquid. In the end, he could only climb in the barrel and started to absorb the medical power from the liquid. The exhaustion seemed to be swept away but it was only a temporary feeling as the rest of time his body felt as though it was being burned, but surprisingly, the heat seemed to be strengthening it rather than causing injuries.

The situation in the sky seemed to make Wang very uneasy, but some distance from Ziyu city, a figure was currently dressed in night clothes, hiding behind a huge branch. The long hair behind her seemed to reveal that she was a woman easily. The sword hanging at her waist seemed like a normal one that could be obtained in any city weapon shop.

The woman seemed solemn, as she observed the situation in the distance, and like Wang, she could look at the sky from time to time feeling the gloomy atmosphere. The way the woman was hidden beside the tree made it very hard to be discovered. Even though others might just pass by her without realizing it, the swaying tree branches seemed to help her blend in this place perfectly.

She suddenly looked forward, and her eyes narrowed slightly, 

"Here they come!"

She did not want to come and participate in whatever this was, but it seemed that this was in line with her master's plans. The others have also spread in the forest, apparently, only those that have reached the level of grandmaster could participate in this event whatever it is that the event was. But she could feel a threat from whatever was coming in this direction and surprisingly was heading directly in her direction.

Feeling this situation, the woman narrowed her s eyes slightly as if he had discovered something approaching she unsheathed the sword and held it by her right hand. Internal energy was also circulating in her body. 

She was just waiting, waiting for the moment the creature entered his line of sight before she could attack. 

  "It's now!" And evidently, it did not take long for her to make her move. 

With a flash of coldness in her eyes, she held the sword tightly as she darted towards the figure, in a flash, she was before the creature that seemed to have human features but the ferocious nature resembled bests, especially the red eyes.

And the moment she saw it she did not panic, but rather some realization seemed to have come to her. 

She knew it was an urgent situation and thus her attacks did not stop rather landed on the creature, but she could hear the sound of metal colliding with each other. 

"Ugrrr!"

The next moment, only some roar could be heard from the creature, indicating that she had only at best managed to irritate it.

The woman retreated fast and kept watching it coldly from a distance. She secretly thought, "Indeed, this group was indeed active even at this period. Perhaps I never heard about it at that time because someone was suppressing them. Five major cities... I see no wonder no one from the major clans seems to be willing to come and put up their businesses in these cities. The rulers of this place are indeed not foolish. Give out five cities and even allow them jurisdiction of the cities as long as they stop the invasion of these creatures." The woman seemed to have discovered something and her eyes focused on the creature staring at her like prey.

Regardless of how she thought about this issue, she had to deal with this creature. Considering the speed she had it was indeed possible to retreat as long as she was not careless. The sword attack proved not possible to cause harm without adding some other means.

The woman frowned then without thinking much, her figure seemed to have blurred again, using the trees as cover to attack the creature again. This time she did not go ahead to probe but wanted to try out her grandmaster power.

"No wonder that crazy woman wanted us to come and experience this first, this creature has yet to attain the strength of a grandmaster only the physique is stronger. In a way, it seems they let them purposely approach us. In the same way, perhaps the master's hurried to leave at that time has something to do with them. " As Ruruo thought of this she was already swinging her sword and it did not have the same attack power as before, but some unique force was moving around the sword, it was sword force. 

The moment it came into contact with the creature it left a huge wound on its body, blood was trickling down but he realized that in the red there was some black. The blood was indeed not something that normal creatures could have.

"Capturing mortals and using them to create these creatures is indeed something that I only heard of. But the Ice Sect was not some good thing either, the things they did in that time seemed to overshadow even these cultists." When Ruruo thought about the ice sect she had some strong resentment but in the end, could only sigh.

Since some things in her life had yet to happen, she did not even understand how she managed to pass her soul o her past self after her demise in the future. 

The events that followed are the memories from her future slowly unfolded but she was afraid of some things repeating themselves so he took the initiative to alter most of her experiences in this world. The first thing was the marriage to Wang, she thought he was not someone that would be concerned about martial arts and later she thought his talent was not bad and kept him around out of curiosity to see how far he might go.

In a way, she already considered him her husband after all she is still a woman raised in this conservative world and he has already eaten the forbidden fruit, how could she let him off just like that? In her vocabulary nothing can be that easy, so she has used her strength to force him to stay, and it is no wonder that the crazy woman kept saying that she should try to win Wang's heart.

But this is not possible when both of them are usually spending their time practicing martial arts, each with their own goals. In truth, Wang is not motivated to go around looking for another place to stay even though he has enough resources to purchase his own place in the city.  This can be blamed for a lot of reasons but the most important one is the fact that he is afraid of bringing too much attention to himself. 

In the period Wang has stayed in this world, the sense of security from his previous life seemed to have already left him. Whether it is buying a house or other means, he did not believe them. The only thing that mattered is having enough strength to feel safe in any place so he was more obsessed with martial arts compared to other people in this world. He understood some truth and the experiences he has had seem to have allowed him to confidently prove this thought process that without enough strength everything else is false.

In the city, even though everything was calm, some people did not seem to feel that the situation was good for them. They had lost some important items and even the way to track the ones that took them. But at the moment a young man seemed to be tied to some underground wooden pole, with bloody wounds all over his body. The man however had passed out, however, his face was showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The person in charge of making sure the youth did not die before they wanted to understand some crucial information from him.
