"What, thinking of causing trouble now that our Sect Leader isn’t around?"

The clouds dispersed and the fog cleared.
The martial artist, whose cultivation was already that of a high-ranking expert in Jianghu, had the murderous intent on his face immediately congeal, leaving only a stunned expression.
A mountain hundreds of feet tall rose abruptly into the sky, and beneath the massive peak, a towering Vajra phantom shouldered the mountain range, striding forward with a heroic and powerful presence, like a divine punishment from the heavens.
The monk in grey robes gazed ahead at the small village.
He possessed telepathy and had learned much from the elder in the blue robe, including the relationship between Four Symbols Pavilion and Pharmacist Valley. Pharmacist Valley, being a subordinate of Four Symbols Pavilion, conducted human experiments with medicine and refined people into pills, causing untold loss of life.
These lives, these corpses, these sentient beings, all were atop the solitary peak of the Inner Valley of Pharmacist Valley!
Then, let this sin be consumed by Four Symbols Pavilion, one by one!
"How does the master intend to bring salvation to all beings?!"
"Eliminating evil and leading the righteous, using myself as a raft, to cross the sea of suffering!"

"What a spirit!"
"If the secular world is indeed a sea of suffering, and you intend to save all beings, why not persuade them to turn back to the shore?"
"In the sea of suffering, there is no shore to return to."
"Such compassion, such resolve!"
"If the master can act thus, he will not only live up to his Dharma name of Ci, but also walk the earth as a Wrathful King of Light!"
Yuan Ci opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"This monk’s name is Yuan Ci."
He brought his hands together in a sudden prayer gesture.
"Today, I specifically come to liberate all of you, benefactors!"
The Vajra phantom behind him suddenly bellowed angrily, and the colossal peak that had buried who knows how many souls inverted and smashed down towards the location of the Four Symbols Pavilion’s branch, causing a deafening explosion. After a moment of deadly silence, a violent blast swept in all directions from the fallen peak within the Inner Valley of Medicine King Valley.
The young man had waited many hours, and as the sky darkened and then brightened again, he barely managed to dispel the effects of the medicine. He leaned on the doorway to step out, only to see the huge mountain range now settled upon what was formerly the location of the Four Symbols Pavilion’s branch, while even the innkeeper lay dead beside him, slain by shock and fear.
Yet he himself had suffered no harm. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, sitting in a daze for a long while before suddenly bursting into loud sobs.
The Four Symbols Pavilion’s branch.
From this day forward, annihilated.

Three days later, in Fufeng City.
A tall man with a young boy emerged from the city gates. The man was dressed in grey clothes, had a calm face but was devoid of hair, while the boy was shrouded in a cloak, emanating the scent of medicine that attracted sidelong glances. Though he stood upright, he walked very slowly.
Stepping out of the city gate, the man glanced at the boy and said gently:
"You could stay in Fufeng..."
"Are you really leaving?"
The boy nodded slightly, not looking back at Xiong Wu City where many memories lay. He replied quietly:
"Mhm."
"I will return one day."
"Next time, I won’t be a burden anymore."
As he lifted his gaze, the clear morning sunlight gleamed on the boy’s black eyes that, though still pure, had become as tough as well-tempered steel, firm and serene.
He turned around and left.
In the Academy.
Xue Qinshuang suddenly opened her eyes.
The girl’s black hair, which previously hung down at her temples, had now become lopsided; the other side seemed as if it had been cut with a sharp blade. She felt something, looked towards a certain direction, furrowed her brows slightly, pushed open the door, and saw a letter on the ground.
She unfolded it and as her gaze swept over the written words, her eyes widened, and suddenly she let out a laugh.
Though she was laughing, there seemed to be a glimmer of tears in her eyes.
While tear stains were present, her expression was filled with satisfaction.
Her right hand tightly gripped the letter as she gently uttered the name for the first time.
"Anfeng..."
