In a blink of an eye, two days have passed since Ling Chen had destroyed the Long Family as well as killing the projection of the Thunder Demi-God Ye.

During these two days, the news of what happened soon circulated throughout the entire Sun Demi-God Domain, and swiftly spread all over the Heaven Suppression Region like a storm.

Whether it was regular mortals or powerful warriors from great families, everyone became paralyzed for a long time after hearing that news.

Annihilating the Long Family, killing all the guests attending Long Bai's birthday party, killing the projection of the Thunder Demi-God Ye, being in the possession one of the Keys of the Great Luo Martial Tomb. Each one of this news was more shocking than the last.

What was even more shocking was the fact that the person behind all of these Heaven-defying feats was a young man that was disguised as the famous and amiable monk known as the Wandering Monk along with his Nine-Headed Hydra Demon beast.

Just imagine how unbeatable and dreadful Long Bai and Long Zhentian used to be or how unshakable the Long Family was for thousands of years, yet they were destroyed in one night by a nameless youth.

According to the witnesses, they were like fishes on the chopping board. They didn't even have the chance or the power fight back. Under the onslaught of the Nine-Headed Hydra, the entire Long Family disappeared in an instant.

Until three days ago, it was the original belief in this world that it was impossible for a Martial Saint to kill the Projection of a Demi-God. However, that eternal belief was broken by a nameless youth.

And even if it was remotely possible for a Martial Saint warrior to kill the Projection of a Demi-God, no Martial Saint in their right mind would dare to offend a Demi-God let alone kill their projections.

Yet that mysterious youth known as Ling Chen not only offend a Demi-God, he even killed his projection in public which was like an extreme disgrace and great humiliation for a godly being like a Demi-God who were considered as invincible beings.

It's already been two days since everything happened. Yet, everyone was still in a state of shock as they were trying to let this unbelievable news sink in.

Meanwhile, the nameless Ling Chen became famous overnight from this one battle.

His fame spread across the entire Heaven Suppression Region as he became a hot topic for many warriors and mortals alike, especially those who saw the battle with their own eyes that night.

......

White Cloud Village was a little village located in a remote region in the Sun Demi-God Domain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the great cities.

The little village was neither big nor small and had several hundred villagers. It was surrounded by hills and mountains, the scenery was breathtaking.

The village's surroundings were filled with various plants and little animals. Even the quality of the air here was fresh and fragrant beyond comparison.

"Father Monk please don't leave little Mei. Don't you like little Mei anymore? Please stay with me." At this moment, within a small house within the village, a little girl whose eyes were brimming with tears held onto the robe of a young man, preventing him from leaving the small house.

Behind the small girl was a beautiful woman who seemed to share the same sentiment as she was looking at the young man with a sense of loss and longing in her eyes. However, she didn't dare to say anything.

Even though Ling Chen had changed into his true appearance, the little girl still referred to him as father Monk.

To her, no matter what Ling Chen did or how he looked like, he will always be her father monk. The person who pulled her out from the depth of hell and showed her what being loved and cared for felt like.

Aside from her mother, he was the most important person in her life.

"Of course your father monk still loves you but I have to go. I can't stay with you." Ling Chen said with a saddened expression on his face as he bent down to caress the little girl's face and wiped away her tears.

Even though he didn't spend a lot of time with the little girl, he still developed some sort of attachment to her. Whether it was for her innocence, her strong will power, and her bravery, Ling Chen really liked her.

However, he couldn't just abandon everything and stayed with her and her mother. He had a family of his own as well as many things he needed to do.

"Then...then why don't you take me with you." Suddenly asked the little girl as her eyes were still dripping with tears.

"I can't little Mei. Father monk has many enemies and can't take you with me. Furthermore, what about your mother, she needs you. If you are gone whose gonna take care of her."

Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, little Mei cried even more. She felt confused. She didn't want to leave her mother, and she also didn't want to part way with father monk.

These two people were the two most important people in her life. She didn't want to part way with any of them. Yet, she could only stay with one.

Seeing the saddened look on Little Mei's face, Ling Chen had a perplex expression on his face. It was the first he found himself in such a situation.

At the same time, he was touched. However, he still couldn't take her and her mother with him. It was for their own good.

Ling Chen had already long realized that he would never have a peaceful life. The moment he was born, he was destined to embark on a path of endless slaughter.

"But I don't want to leave any of you." Little Mei said as she continued crying.

Ling Chen had never seen little Mei cried before. Even when she was suffering outside, Ling Chen had the feeling that she rarely cried.

Despite her small age, she had a will of steel. However, she was crying like a little baby today after knowing that Ling Chen was leaving. This alone showed how much she cared about Ling Chen.

"Alright little Mei, I'm gonna make you a deal." As Ling Chen said that, two huge tree leaves appeared in his hands.

One was of them was as dark as the darkest night while the other one looked as though it was made from pure gold.

The dark tree leaf was giving off an extremely evil energy while the golden one gave off a holy feeling and was filled with life energy.

"Give me your hand" Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, Little Mei suddenly extended her little hands to Ling Chen without asking any questions.

Ling Chen then used a fingernail to cut little Mei's palms. Without any hesitation, he dropped little Mei's blood into the two tree leaves.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the two tree leaves shone brightly and turned into a dark and golden light as they disappeared from Ling Chen's hand and entered little Mei's body.

In the next second, two small tattoos appeared on the back of little Mei's hands. One was black leaf as dark as an ink while the other one was a golden leaf.

After that, Ling Chen took out a spatial ring from his pocket and gave it to Little Mei.

"This inter-spatial ring has a lot of treasures, spiritual fruits, and battle techniques inside, enough for you to break through the Ninth Tribulation Martial Saint Realm."

"However, I put three restrictions inside. You will only be able to break the first one when you break through the Martial Warrior realm, the second one Martial Lord Realm, and the last one Martial Sovereign realm."

"After you become very powerful and if you still want to see your big brother Ling Chen, come look for me."

"These two tattoos will not only help you in your cultivation, but they are also the key to find me in the future. Right now, you are still too weak, when you start to get stronger, you'll understand their wondrous use." Ling Chen said with a serious look on his face.

"How strong I need to be to look for you." Little Mei asked as he was looking at the inter-spatial ring in her hand. Even though she was just ten years old, she was very smart. She understood certain things.

Upon hearing Little Mei's question, Ling Chen's mouth curved upward into a mysterious smile as he said " Martial God Realm."

Even though Little Mei didn't know what realm was the Martial God Realm, she still looked at Ling Chen and answered with a determined look on her face." I will look for you."

"Hahaha! Ok then, I will be waiting for you wherever I might be at that time." Ling Chen said with a light smile as he was looking at the look of determination in little Mei's eyes.

" You two come in." He added as he looked outside.

Before his voiced faded, two middle-aged men entered the room. With one look, one could tell that they were twins as they both looked exactly the same.

These two were none other than the two Powerful Winged-Tiger demon beasts that were pulling Long Zhentian's carriage.

Before handing over Long Zhentian to little Mei's mother for her revenge, he had forced him to break the contract with the two demon beasts because once the master of a demon beast died, the demon beasts also died.

Furthermore, the Long Zhentian he had handed over the little Mei's mother was a weak old man. Ling Chen had absorbed his life force and broke his dantians before he gave him to little Mei's mother.

"From now, she will be your master. Now go make a master and slave with her. Whether you leave this damn place and go to even a higher place all depend on her." Ling Chen said in a commanding tone.

"Thank you for your grace young Master. We will protect the master with our lives." Simultaneously answered the two demon beasts in unison.

After which the two of them proceeded to make the contract with Little Mei. At the same time, Ling Chen gave both of them a dark leaf.

Not only the dark leaf will help them in their cultivation, but it was also a way for Ling Chen to assure that they would never disobey little Mei and would serve her wholeheartedly.

Just like the Fruits of Creation, the tree leaves had his soul imprint on them. In fact, the entire dark tree located in his sea of consciousness was like his nascent soul.

"Little Mei, this is all I can do you for you. Whether you choose to remain a regular mortal or become a powerful warrior, it's all up to you."

"You should also know that mortals have their own happiness while warriors have their own pain. Don't think that you will find happiness after become a powerful warrior."

"The paths of a warrior is filled with danger, suffering, deceit, betrayal, and slaughter, so Think carefully before you choose."

"This is my last advice for you." Having said that, Ling Chen suddenly walked out the door without saying goodbye. historical
