“Really? You won’t go back on your word?”
The young girl looked at Jack and asked with doubts plastering on favonovel.com face.
“Don’t worry. You have my word!”
Jack shot favonovel.com a soft smile, favonovel.com then flipped his palm and took out a healing pill, throwing it to the young girl. “You’re injured, so take this healing pill. I made it myself.”
“Humph, what if you are lying to me and this is some poisonous pill?”
The girl snorted coldly, and favonovel.com eyes showed a hint of defensiveness.
“Heh? Now that you’re badly injured, if I want to kill you, I could just do it right now. Why would I waste this so-called poison pill of mine? Isn’t that unnecessary?”
Jack chuckled; favonovel.com did not know whether to cry or to laugh at the girl’s way of thinking.
The young girl frowned, and only then swallowed the pill reluctantly.
“Let me tell you this, I belong to one of the Nine Armies. Outside this forest, there are nine fortresses nearby, which are the Nine Armies. The martial practitioners of these Nine Armies will come to this forest to look for spirited grasses and resources for training and cultivation when they are free! So, at first, I thought that you were people from one of these Nine Armies, but apparently, I’ve thought it wrong!” The young girl looked at Jack and explained.
Jack suddenly understood the whole situation. It turned out that outside this forest, there were nine fortresses called the Nine Armies. The martial status of this young lady before favonovel.com was already so high at such a young age. He wondered how many people and how many more strong fighters were in these fortresses.
“Then what about the Alliance Guard you have mentioned just now? What is that?”
Jack thought about it before asking the young girl again.
“Oh, it’s just a group of prideful people who likes to boast about themselves!”
A bitter smile crept onto the girl’s face. She walked to the bluestone at the side and plopped favonovel.com butt on it. “I’m not sure how many years ago, this piece of land and the abandoned land were one big land. But, not sure what happened, the Chi energy was getting lesser and thinner every day. If that situation continued, it’d become more and more difficult to break into the ultimate god realm, let alone the soul-penetrating realm.”
“Then what happened?”
Jack and the others took a sharp intake of breath upon hearing the story. They should be able to find out about the past of this place from this young girl.
The young girl eyed at Jack, then continued, “There was a great elite fighter who was about to die, and just before that fighter died, favonovel.com cropped out a small partition out of this big land, and inside that small partition, the Chi energy is richer and denser than the outside.” The girl paused for a moment and added, “Oh right. By the way, if you could find and enter this place, meaning that you’ve found the seven stone balls, right? Oh. I might as well tell you the rest. Those seven stone balls are constantly absorbing Chi energy, and those absorbed Chi energies will flow into this forest. So, over the years, this place was full of chi energy, and we, the people in this place, could have rich Chi energy as well as an abundance of third and fourth-grade spirited grasses for training and martial cultivation!”
Shock and surprise thundered down on Jack and the others upon hearing the truth. They truly did not expect the reason for the Chi energy being so thin outside the partition was because this small partition was stealing the Chi energy from the outside! And this led to fewer and fewer people being able to cultivate and train themselves!
Moreover, if this continued, there was no way for the people outside to pass on their heritage!
The crowd’s expressions turned unsightly. If they did not find the seven stone balls and found the way to enter into the place they were, none of them the outsiders, would be able to break into the ultimate god realm!
The young girl flashed a bitter smile when favonovel.com noticed the gloominess on Jack and the others’ faces. “Sigh! It can’t be helped. Humans are selfish. Otherwise, how could your world be called the abandoned world?”
