"Looks like I need to make a quick trip back to my place. You... did you say your na was Yang Chen? We shall et again".
Chen Xuan’s face was unusually serious. He did not waste ti even for a second, after saying that, he hurriedly disappeared as if he had never been there.
Now left alone, Yang Chen couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh. It was sothing that had been on his mind and he knew it wasn’t far off. But it looked like the side the ring belonged to finally found him.
"Who knew that demonic cultivator would be from the sa side as that ring" Even Amon had an uncharacteristic gloomy face.
"Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later"
Yang Chen didn’t seem all that fazed. He had already co to terms with what was going to happen. He would struggle to his last breath; however, if even then nothing changes, then he could only count it as fate.
"Oh?" His thoughts were disrupted by a sudden repelling force that was trying to kick him out of this place.
"Looks like the ancient domain is about to close".
He quickly located Tang Xun’er, and together they exited the ancient domain.

Back at the Ancient Ruins, a commotion had erupted. News about the ancient domain and inheritance of the ancient sect had already spread far and wide. News brought excitent, excitent evoked greed, and greed fanned jealousy.
A chaotic battle erupted all across the ruins. Practitioners who were unable to enter the ancient domain started attacking those who ca out of it. Stealing beca the norm.
Of course, not everyone was foolish enough to challenge the might of the major sects. As such, they could only target the ones who had no affiliation or ca from weak factions.
Amidst the chaos, the news of three of the elders of the major sects getting defeated by a younger generation mber spread like a wildfire.
Everybody wanted to see this person who had the strength and audacity to challenge the major sect. So wanted to fish for opportunities.
Unfortunately for them, the person had hidden his identity and was very difficult to find. By the ti the last of the practitioners got out of the ancient domain, everyone started realising that the person they were waiting for had already left.
.
Far south of the ruins where the desert ends, a small town could be seen. Inside the town, two people appeared walking side by side.
Four days had passed since they got out of the ancient ruins. Yang Chen stopped his steps before turning around "I guess our partnership ends here. The deal for returning your hairclip was to get help in manoeuvring the ancient sect. Since our objective has been t, let us part here".
This was farewell.
"What are you doing? Did you forget about our original plan? I told you to make an impression on her so that she is unable to forget about you" Amon, who didn’t expect Yang Chen to say those words, made a ruckus.
"You didn’t explain why I need to do that"...
"That... I cannot reveal you now. If I tell you, things won’t happen the way they need to be. However, you need to trust on this matter. This is extrely important for your future. If you let go of this opportunity, it won’t co in a hundred; no, even in a thousand lifetis".
Hearing Amon blow things out of proportion, Yang Chen couldn’t help but arch his brows.
"Why is she so important? It is true that she is beautiful, unimaginable so that it does not feel real. However, you should know that I am not interested in her beauty. If you don’t tell , I won’t do it. Tricking that gullible girl is weighing on my heart. I would rather deceive so evil people than her"...
"That... as I said earlier, I can’t say it, but it is for your own benefit".
While Yang Chen was busy quarrelling with Amon, Tang Xun’er seed to have co to her own decision.
"Yang Chen... I know our agreent was to work together only until the ancient sect. However, I have yet to properly thank you for saving my life. Not only that ti, but ti and ti again. Would you be willing to head with to the capital? My folks will reward you properly".
The two who were quarrelling suddenly stopped their banter and blinked absentmindedly. The next second, Amon arched back laughing out loud while Yang Chen was tongue tied.
Capital... that was also the destination he was headed for. Who knew that the girl would also be heading in the sa direction?
This was unexpected; here he was trying to distance himself as much as he could from the girl, yet it was as if the very destiny was working against him.
Since there was no reason to say no, Yang Chen nodded his head.
"I was heading for the Capital anyway".
"Oh!" Tang Xun’er nodded her head, clearly delighted by the news, "I didn’t know you were also heading for the capital. Do you perhaps have so work there?"
Yang Chen stared ahead before shrugging his shoulders "I’m thinking of leaving the empire. You see, I am a wanted man. If I stay here, I will only be dragged into a conflict that I am still not strong enough to face".
"What?" The girl was shocked, this was the first ti she had heard anything about that.
"Yang Chen... I finally seem to rember where I heard this na before" Yun suddenly interjected, making a face of realisation.
"You... you are being hunted by the Yan clan, aren’t you?"...
"What do you an, Yun? Why is Yang Chen being hunted by them?"
The demonic spirit made a mocking grin "This guy, do you know what he did?"
"He killed the son of the patriarch of the Yan Clan, severely wounded one of their hall masters and killed nurous of their disciples. His photo is totally on the list of wanted criminals issued by the Five Clans. No wonder he wants to leave the empire"...
