I Am Overlord

Chapter 1024: Guo Po

"That's right. After drifting about for so long, it's time I go back," said Xiang Shaoyun with a steadfast look.

"I knew it. I'll go with you as well," said Zi Changhe.

"Senior brother, you should stay here. I can deal with my personal issue myself," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Are you thinking that your senior brother is too weak to be of any help to you anymore?" said Zi Changhe in a self-mocking tone.

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head and said, "I don't mean that at all. I just don't think that you should come with me and put your life at risk."

"From the moment you gave me battle techniques, I have been looking forward to doing something for you. I might still not be too strong, but I also hope to at least kill some of your weaker enemies. Can you let your senior brother fulfill this wish?" said Zi Changhe with a slightly pleading tone.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out, not knowing what to say.

"Over the years, I have cultivated in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. I have been wanting to leave and explore the world. Your senior brother also wishes to grow stronger. Going back with you will be training for me. I am not willing to stop at being a King," said Zi Changhe as he stood up, a look of great longing on his face.

Xiang Shaoyun had nothing else to say. He agreed unhesitatingly, "Fine. With you by my side, we will definitely obtain victory!"

"Don't worry. I won't drag you down," said Zi Changhe as his purple hair started whipping about.

Since Zi Changhe had such intention, Xiang Shaoyun delayed no more. He was going to set off for the Xia Hamlet right away. After giving Zi Changhe and Gong Qinyin some time to settle their affairs at the Cloud Margin Pavilion, he prepared to leave.

He was also told that Hua Cheng was going to follow Du Xuanhao as well. One could say that the Cloud Margin Pavilion had suddenly lost two of their Emperors. They were probably feeling great pain right now.

Of course, Hua Cheng and the others still kept their identities as Cloud Margin Pavilion members since they did not opt to leave officially.

Xiang Shaoyun wasn't stingy toward the Cloud Margin Pavilion either. He gave them some emperor-grade items as compensation. After fighting and killing for so many years, he had accumulated quite a treasury. Thus, the emperor-grade items he left behind really weren't much for him.

Shortly after, he departed from the Cloud Margin Pavilion with a few new additions. Chen Jiayan was planning to pay Xiang Shaoyun another visit, but at this point, Xiang Shaoyun was too busy to deal with him.

Xiang Shaoyun's only regret was not getting to meet Hua Honglou. He heard that she was already a fifth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. In the Cloud Margin Pavilion, she was among the most talented individuals. After all, Liang Zhuangmin had long left the Cloud Margin Pavilion, and nobody had arisen to fill the gap he had left.

After leaving Cloud Margin Pavilion, the group headed for the Martial Hall Palace. The Martial Hall Palace had been completely destroyed previously. However, an old man remained, persistently rebuilding the place.

The old man was none other than Elder Zhen Peng, who had once followed Xiang Shaoyun for a period of time. He was a King, so it wouldn't be that hard for him to rebuild the Martial Hall Palace. After so many years, something resembling a cultivation academy had successfully been established.

Zi Changhe said, "I returned twice over the years. Elder Zhen Peng has been putting his all into teaching the town's children. Thanks to him, Wu Town's children are stronger than the children of other towns nowadays."

Xiang Shaoyun was still filled with guilt. He had everyone wait high up in the air while he descended with Zi Changhe, Gong Qinyin, and Xia Liuhui. These were all people that had come from the Martial Hall Palace. Thus, they were melancholic to see the place rebuilt.

Currently, Elder Zhen Peng was personally instructing several late-stage Astral Realm youngsters. Elder Zhen Peng looked much sloppier than before, as though he no longer cared about his appearance. When Elder Zhen Peng sensed them arriving, emotions swirled in his eyes. He waved his hand and sent the kids away.

He then stepped forward, saluted Xiang Shaoyun, and said, "Greetings, young master."

Xiang Shaoyun stopped his bow and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Elder Zhen Peng. You have long ceased to be my follower."

Zi Changhe, Gong Qinyin, and Xia Liuhui stepped forward to greet Elder Zhen Peng one after another, and Elder Zhen Peng returned their greetings. After all these years, the anger in his heart had calmed significantly. When he saw these people again, what he felt was joy.

Xiang Shaoyun was unable to reverse time and fix all that had happened. The only thing he could do was to take his revenge before sending people over to help Elder Zhen Peng rebuild the Martial Hall Palace, allowing the Martial Hall Palace's name to once again spread throughout these lands.

After spending about half a day there, they bid farewell to Elder Zhen Peng. Along with the passage of time, many things had changed. It was not possible for everything to remain the same.

"Don't be in a rush to leave, young master. I have a child here with decent talent. I wish to introduce him to you," said Elder Zhen Peng.

He did not know how strong Xiang Shaoyun had become, but he knew that since Xiang Shaoyun dared to return for his revenge, he was probably far beyond the Skysoar Realm.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out for a bit and said, "Sure, let me take a look."

In truth, he was completely focused on his revenge and did not have the time for romance or educating disciples. But due to the guilt he felt toward Elder Zhen Peng, he couldn't bring himself to say no. Thus, he had decided to make the kid Elder Zhen Peng was about to show him strong regardless of the kid's talent.

Shortly after, Elder Zhenpeng brought over a kid of about 13 or 14 years old. The kid was somewhat shy, and was frightened when he saw so many people looking at him. He hid behind Elder Zhen Peng, confusion in his eyes.

"Po, come greet your seniors. These are all experts at the King Realm and beyond, and they are your predecessors that had come from the Martial Hall Palace," introduced Elder Zhen Peng.

"Guo Po greets the seniors," said Guo Po timidly.

Xiang Shaoyun's group looked at Guo Po. At one glance, he looked like any other kid. But the more they looked at him, the more they noticed the indescribable light coming from that kid's eyes. That was not the type of eyes you could normally see.

Xiang Shaoyun crouched down and beckoned at the kid as he said, "Come over here."

Guo Po looked at Xiang Shaoyun before looking at Elder Zhen Peng. When he saw Elder Zhen Peng nodding, he walked over. Only then did everyone notice that Guo Po did not seem capable of walking normally. He was limping and was clearly crippled.

Xiang Shaoyun raised a fist and asked, "Do you know what I have in my hand?"

"I-I don't know," said Guo Po nervously.

"Don't be afraid. If you can guess what I have in my hand, I will cure your leg and help you walk normally like the other children," Xiang Shaoyun encouraged.
