Today was truly his lucky day. Zhao Si had come to him, offering experience—this was an absolute blast. Just as Wu Tian was relishing his good fortune, Zhao Si's body rapidly disappeared, just like the bodies in a game, vanishing without a trace in a mere blink of an eye. Xiao Hui stared at the scene in disbelief. Zhao Si had been lightly struck by the young master, without even a punch landing, and yet he died. What's more, his body had vanished—it was utterly shocking. "Haha! Xiao Hui, today is a great day! We’ll never suffer again, the young master is back on the road to the peak of life!" Wu Tian tightly hugged Xiao Hui and laughed heartily. Xiao Hui's face turned slightly red. The young master had never acted so intimately before. What was going on today? Feeling a little shy, Xiao Hui thought about Zhao Si’s death and, worried, asked, “Young master, Zhao Si is dead. What if Qin Long comes after you?” Wu Tian glanced at the spot where Zhao Si’s body had vanished, his eyes cold. "That bastard deserved to die for bullying you! I’ve already dealt with his body, no one will ever know. Even if Qin Long finds out, so what? If he dares to cause trouble, I’ll just instant-kill him!" Feeling the confidence and superiority emanating from Wu Tian, Xiao Hui's heart swelled with happiness. The self-assured young master she once knew was back! "By the way, Xiao Hui," Wu Tian said seriously, "I need you to keep today’s events to yourself. My meridians were severed, my dantian shattered, and my master died because of someone’s doing. I have a feeling that it was someone from Qi Tian Sect. If they find out I can still cultivate, they’ll strike again. Until I become strong enough, it’s best to keep my ability to cultivate a secret." Xiao Hui nodded heavily. "Young master, I won’t tell anyone." "Also, I need you to leave Qi Tian Sect for a while." Xiao Hui’s face changed, her big eyes grew teary, and she pouted at Wu Tian. "Young master, are you... are you going to leave me behind? I’ve always taken care of you since we were little. Do you not want me anymore?" Wu Tian was speechless for a moment, then quickly explained, "Xiao Hui, don’t think like that. I’m just worried about your safety. My strength isn’t enough to protect you yet. I need to focus on training, and once I’m strong enough, I’ll bring you back. Can you wait for me?" Xiao Hui’s expression softened, and she sniffled, "Young master, I knew you wouldn’t leave me. I believe you’ll become strong again. I’ll wait for you to return!" Wu Tian gently patted Xiao Hui’s soft, black hair, his voice firm. "Xiao Hui, don’t worry. I’ll be back to bring you home soon. Take this two hundred silver and go hide for a while. Here are two Spirit Orbs. The closer you are to them, the brighter they’ll glow, and then I’ll be able to find you." "Young master, I’ll wait for you!" Xiao Hui’s voice was full of emotion. "Xiao Hui, I’ll definitely come find you!" Wu Tian replied with certainty. After giving Xiao Hui the silver and Spirit Orbs, she left Qi Tian Sect that very night. Wu Tian let out a sigh of relief as she departed. "Level up, I need to level up quickly. If Qin Long finds out I killed Zhao Si, he’ll definitely come for revenge. With my current strength, even with the instant-kill system, I wouldn’t stand a chance. I have to level up fast!" Wu Tian was consumed by thoughts of leveling up. Suddenly, an idea struck him. The Miasma Forest to the west of Pingyang City—an ideal place for leveling. This forest was one of the three most dangerous places in the Crazy Martial Empire. It was inhabited by countless beasts, and the deeper you went, the stronger the monsters. However, the Miasma Forest was also an adventurer’s paradise. The forest was rich in spiritual energy, home to rare beasts, precious herbs, spiritual treasures, and ancient ruins. "This is it, this is where I, Wu Tian, will rise to the peak! Leveling, here I come!" Wu Tian stood at the edge of the Miasma Forest, shouting with great enthusiasm. Nearby adventurers saw the wild-eyed Wu Tian and gave him scornful looks. Wu Tian ignored them and plunged into the forest. Monsters in the Miasma Forest were ranked from level 1 to level 9, but on the outskirts, there were very few high-level monsters—most were low-level or rankless wild beasts. For now, Wu Tian could only survive by hunting these weaker creatures. *Ding!* "Congratulations to player Wu Tian for killing 'Wild Boar', gaining 20 experience points." "Congratulations to player Wu Tian for killing 'Man-Eating Flower', gaining 30 experience points." … While Wu Tian was relentlessly killing wild beasts, in the inner courtyard of Qi Tian Sect, inside a quiet building. "Report, young master. Zhao Si has been missing for an entire day." A servant reported to Qin Long. Qin Long frowned slightly. "How did that guy just vanish into thin air?" "I investigated earlier. Someone from the outer court saw Zhao Si enter Wu Tian’s dilapidated hut, and after that, no one saw him again." "Wu Tian? You’re saying Zhao Si disappeared after entering Wu Tian’s broken hut?" Qin Long squinted, his eyes narrowing. "According to my analysis, Zhao Si’s disappearance is definitely related to Wu Tian." "How did Zhao Si disappear in Wu Tian’s filthy hut? I’m in the middle of a breakthrough right now. After two more days, I’ll go check on that useless Wu Tian. That guy I knocked out a while ago, I bet he’s itching again." Qin Long sneered as he mentioned Wu Tian. "Young master, what about Zhao Si?" the servant asked. "You two go look around. No one just disappears without a trace. There must be some clue." Qin Long waved his hand dismissively. "Understood, young master!" After the servant left, a disdainful smile curled on Qin Long’s lips. "I haven’t had the chance to have some fun with that useless genius. I’ll go play with him soon."
