Chapter 1309: The Arrival of Peace

Chapter 1309: The Arrival of Peace

The scene was eerily quiet, as if life had vanished entirely; it was only Lin Nuo and Su Kexin in the whole world.

Is it all over? Has the Handa Alliance been destroyed?

He didn’t know; he just wanted to lie down peacefully.

But even if it was over, how do we go back? What about Qin Shili and the others?

Who cares?

“Senior Martial Brother, are we going back?”

Su Kexin whispered, the question a tangled web of contradictions for her.

She thought about being alone with Lin Nuo like this; once they returned, she’d have to share him with the other women.

Even if they were in the Demon Realm, if they could just hide away here, that wouldn’t be too shabby.

“If there’s a way, then we’ll go back.”

“What if there isn’t?”

“If there isn’t, then we can’t go back. It’s that simple.”

Lin Nuo replied nonchalantly.

“Of course, if we can’t go back, we won’t last long in this damned place.”

“If we find a suitable place to live, we can survive here while searching for a way back, right?”

If there was truly no way back, they might end up living their whole lives here.

Together forever, clinging to each other.

“Are you okay?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Me? I’m fine, really! Senior Martial Brother, don’t worry about me.”

“You’ve already lost consciousness before, and your wounds— you’ve bled quite a bit. I really thought you were going to die.”

“Well, if I really died, would you… be sad?”

Su Kexin’s hand that stroked Lin Nuo’s hair slowed slightly, her heart racing, genuinely fearing he’d respond with something indifferent like “whatever.”

“Of course; don’t ask such silly questions.”

Lin Nuo replied casually, thinking about how these women were always trying to wring “I love you” out of him.

He wasn’t one for melodrama, and just thinking about that made him cringe.

“Oh, good. Then I’ll die with my eyes closed.”

“No, are you a ghost? Did you kick the bucket? Or am I turning into a ghost too? What do you mean ‘die with my eyes closed’?”

Hearing Su Kexin’s words, Lin Nuo was stunned; this girl really had a way with words!

“Ah? No, I just meant I was really happy saying that! Oh, let’s not talk about it; it’s bad luck! We’ll be fine, we promised to be together for a lifetime, at least long enough to live a hundred years!”

“Nonsense. Do you remember losing consciousness before? It was just like when you first came to.”

“Losing consciousness? You mean when I attacked Aike? Hmm… actually, I was still a bit aware. I remember not wanting to just fall down, then getting back up and continuing the attack. So I was a little aware, but not completely. Ah, I can’t explain it clearly.”

“Forget it, stop talking.”

Lin Nuo interrupted the conversation. Slowly, he started to regain control of his limbs.

It seemed the side effects weren’t too severe, unlike last time, where minutes after being a real man, he was down for the count.

Looks like it was thanks to the demonic influence.

Lin Nuo bent his body, planning to stand up, but his movements were unsteady, and Su Kexin quickly supported him.

“Senior Martial Brother, don’t push yourself. You still have me. What are you planning to do now? I’ll help you.”

“No need to help, I can walk myself.”

Lin Nuo was stubborn and tried to shake off Su Kexin’s hand, but after only a few steps, he fell over.

He really looked like an old, weak, sickly person now.

Can’t walk, can’t I just fly with my sword?

Turns out, he really couldn’t.

His body was weak, and his spiritual energy was depleted; he couldn’t take off.

And Su Kexin wasn’t a demon; she couldn’t lend him her spiritual energy, or that would backfire. They had to compromise.

In the end, it was still Su Kexin who used her sword to carry him.

What a disgrace; relying on the main character to fly him around.

“Do whatever, just fly.”

Lin Nuo sat on Su Kexin’s sword, reminiscing about the time after his rebirth when he first thought about assassinating her by stepping onto her sword.

Looking back at the past and then at the present, who would have thought that the woman he once wanted to kill would end up being his future wife?

Fate sure has a funny way of playing tricks.

“Senior Martial Brother, over there…”

“Did you turn on the navigation?”

“What navigation?”

“Do you know the way, did you come here deliberately?”

Lin Nuo noticed that Su Kexin had flown back to the place where Aike had entered the Sacred Realm.

That entrance had already been sealed, but now it was wide open.

And there were many demons from the Demon Realm and saints from the Sacred Realm; it looked quite lively.

“Why did you land?”

“Ah? Senior Martial Brother, I think my spiritual energy is running low.”

“No, if that group is from the Handa Alliance, won’t we be delivering ourselves to them?”

Lin Nuo stared, shocked. It was the worst timing for a breakdown.

If they fell down, wouldn’t she just pop up and slaughter them?

The problem was, she could kill; he couldn’t. Was he supposed to pop another Fury Pill?

Before long, Lin Nuo and Su Kexin landed. Fortunately, her sword had a stabilizing landing function, so they didn’t crash down hard.

As they landed, the crowd of demons and saints got excited.

“Is that them?”

“Looks like it’s them!”

“I recognize them!”

They all rushed over, and Lin Nuo and Su Kexin thought they were here to besiege them; really, their timing was the worst.

Lin Nuo glanced at them; their clothes had the Handa Alliance insignia, they were remnants of the Handa Alliance.

What perfect timing; their leader had just been killed, and now these guys were here for revenge.

Lin Nuo reluctantly drew the Demon Sword and shouted at the crowd of demons and saints:

“The Handa Alliance has long been on its last legs! You’re still hoping to surround us? That’s just asking for trouble. I advise you all…”

“The Handa Alliance has been dissolved! We don’t need to be controlled anymore; we’ve come to thank you!”

The demons and saints grew even more agitated, tearing off the signs related to the Handa Alliance on their outfits.

They were in chaos, and Lin Nuo couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying.

Time to find an opportunity to escape.

“Hello, young humans.”

At that moment, a demon master holding a magic staff and a sacred master holding a spiritual staff approached, greeting Lin Nuo and Su Kexin politely.

“Finally, someone sensible showed up. Wait, you’re demons and saints? How did you all end up together? As far as I know, the collapse of the Handa Alliance was due to internal strife, right?”

Lin Nuo looked confused; the tides had turned, and these people were now holding a celebration together.

“Young man, many of us were forced under the Handa Alliance after they destroyed our nations. The lords of the two regions of the Handa Alliance placed curses on us to ensure our loyalty. We could not fully claim our consciousness and were easily controlled by them. But now they’re all dead, and we are completely free.”

The elegant demon master patiently explained.

“Actually, everyone is tired of war. Though we belong to two regions, we don’t wish to fight each other. The pathways should not exist, and we will completely seal them. Regarding the cracks between the realms and the human world, those were all part of Aike’s plans; we now need to seal everything.”

“Is that so? I remember that the pathways here were sealed. Now you’ve opened them again?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Not completely sealed. We can reopen them. It’s all about letting demons return to the Demon Realm and saints return to the Sacred Realm,” the demon master replied.
