Chapter 85 The List (II)
At the same time, the incident reminded Chen Yiming that he was no longer an insignificant small fry. He had to consider the impact brought about by his every move.
For example, although he did not deliberately cause the small-scale beast tide, the reality was that it had affected many innocent hunters who had entered the mountain range.
“I forgot to tell you that I had already broken through to the sixth transformation before I left.
At this level, staying in the wilderness was not too risky.
You don’t have to worry too much. I was just hiding and making sure that the beast tide had completely retreated. That’s why I was delayed for a few days,” Chen Yiming said sternly in front of the entire family.
Although he could not tell them the truth, he could not let his family be worried for him.
“Brother, you’re too amazing. You just broke through to the third transformation not long ago. How can your cultivation progress so quickly?” Chen Yingying opened her mouth and exclaimed.
“I used some special methods. I’ll explain them to you slowly in the future,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
“Child, why didn’t you tell us earlier? You made us worry for nothing. Your father and I aged at least five years because of this,” Mother Chen reminded him, a smile appearing on her face after she found out that her son had returned safely.
“I’m sorry,” Chen Yiming said guiltily.
He had also noticed that Father Chen and Mother Chen suddenly had a lot of white hair, but he did not have any good way to take care of them at the moment.
Father Chen and Mother Chen were different from Chen Yingying. They were both past the age of practicing martial arts, and forcefully practicing martial arts would be harmful to their bodies.
He could only wait until his martial arts realm was higher and he had a better understanding of this world before slowly thinking of a solution.
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s something that can’t wait. It has to be resolved immediately,” Father Chen said in a low voice.
Mother Chen slapped her forehead.
“Son, we spent money to buy a plot in the cemetery for you,” Mother Chen exclaimed.
“…” Chen Yiming frowned.
He was still alive but there was a plot in the cemetery for him.
“Son, you’re drenched. Hurry up and change your clothes. We’ll go out now,” Father Chen said directly.
After that, the family washed up and left the house with their umbrellas.
It was still pouring heavily.
The family got out of a taxi.
Chen Yiming opened his umbrella and looked at the cemetery dozens of meters ahead.
The raindrops falling from the sky hit the umbrella, creating a pitter-patter sound.
Dozens of new tombs could be seen clearly in the cemetery. On each of the new tombs were offerings for the dead.
There was burnt paper money, incense and candles that had been extinguished by the rain, and some fruit.
When he saw this, he instantly thought of his fate after stepping onto the path of martial arts.
Accidents were happening all the time in the wilderness. The weaker ones could escape with their lives if they were lucky, but there would come a time when they would not be able to do so.
If his strength stopped increasing, he would still be able to deal with a small-scale or even a medium-scale beast tide.
However, what if they encountered a large-scale beast tide or a super-scale beast tide? For example, a disaster that would involve the entire blue planet.
As a warrior who could use the internal force, in a disaster of that scale, he was probably not much better than those in the disciple realm. There would definitely be some creatures in existence that could kill him.
The hint of laziness he had felt after breaking through to the warrior realm instantly disappeared. He had to think of a way to find the cultivation techniques for the warrior realm. Otherwise, once the growth of his internal force stopped, he would be stuck in a situation where he could not cultivate any further.
“Come over quickly,” Father Chen shouted when he realized that Chen Yiming was still standing in a daze.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Chen Yiming pushed his complicated thoughts away and went over.
The family quickly arrived at a plot on the north side of the cemetery.
The plot was slightly more than two meters in both length and width. Other than some commonly used offerings, there was also a black and white photo in the middle of a frame.
“Is this my graduation photo from junior high?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise. He tried hard to look through his memories of the past and finally managed to identify it.
After all, when he transmigrated to this world, his body was already that of a high school student.
“You don’t like to take photos. We searched the entire house, and most of the photos are from when you were young. It wasn’t easy to find this one.” Mother Chen smiled awkwardly.
With that, she picked up the frame and pulled out the photo inside. She tore the photo into pieces.
“What should we do with this tomb?” Father Chen asked Chen Yiming.
It was awkward that the tomb for Chen Yiming existed while he was still alive and well.
The tomb was fixed here. No matter how they dealt with it, it would not be suitable.
“It’s simple. Stand further away.”
Chen Yiming waited for his parents and sister to walk more than ten meters away before he kicked the tomb.
His body was extremely strong now, far stronger than when he was at the disciple realm.
Even without using internal force, the raw strength of his muscles was already very terrifying “Bang!”
A loud sound rang out, as loud as an explosion from a landmine.
The entire tomb was shattered into pieces from the force, and a pit of rubble appeared at its original spot, sunk half a meter into the ground.
After settling the matter, Chen Yiming ignored the strange gazes from the crowd and left with his family.
It was evening.
Chen Yiming was preparing to have dinner with his family.
Suddenly, two disciples from the Tongbeiquan School and the Divine Wind Martial Arts School came looking for him. Chen Yiming didn’t want his family to get involved, so he went with the two disciples to a pavilion in the district.
The pavilion had an octagonal structure, with eight round pillars supporting the roof. There were four benches inside, and there was a magnolia tree every few meters surrounding
it.
“What’s the matter?” Chen Yiming asked, pretending not to know anything.
Zhao Yifeng and Meng Tai had died in the beast tide. Chen Yiming had seen it with his own eyes when he followed behind Liu Wanqing
Chen Yiming had yet to find out how the two martial arts schools had handled the matter.
“Tell me everything that happened this week from the beginning to the end. Start from when Liu Wanqing from the Liu clan led the team out of the city,” Xie Quan said in an arrogant tone.
This person was wearing a training robe from the Tongbeiquan School. His tall and burly figure filled out the robe, and there were two lightning tattoos on his shoulders.
“We’ve already investigated your relationship with Liu Wanqing. Don’t help her hide this matter. Otherwise, even if you’re from the Mantis Snake Sword School, we’ll still pursue the matter to the end,” Gao Xuelong added, his tone equally unfriendly, as if he was conducting an interrogation.
He was dressed in the training robes of the Divine Wind Martial Arts School. His figure was slender and well-proportioned, and he was very handsome. A long fringe covered half of his face.
“Zhao Yifeng and Meng Tai have been following Liu Wanging the entire time. Why aren’t you asking her directly but looking for me instead?” Chen Yiming brushed it off without answering the question.
The two of them were just core disciples who had been sent to question Chen Yiming. Even if their level was higher compared to Chen Yiming’s publicized level of six transformations, there was a limit to their strength. There was a high chance that they were at the same level as he was supposed to
be.
If they spoke nicely, Chen Yiming didn’t want to cause any more trouble. It wouldn’t hurt to tell them the truth.
However, the two of them were behaving arrogantly. As a warrior who could use the internal force, Chen Yiming was on the same level as their school heads. He was already being magnanimous by not defeating them with just one move.
