Chapter 63: Returning to the Clan - Part 1

After sorting his belongings, Lin Xin buried Shu Luoyi's items separately in other locations, leaving only the wooden mule's man-faced fruit and the evil technique manual, storing the remaining miscellaneous things himself.

Upon leaving the Stone Pillar Forest, he immediately saw a large fire in the distant pine forest, getting fiercer by the moment. Nearly half of the hillside's pine trees were ignited, sending flames skyward that produced copious amounts of black smoke, forming a blurred black cloud in the sky outside Peacock City.

Lin Xin did not panic, and used the blade to measure against his own arm.

"The bitter trick must be employed..." However, as a modern person, the idea of actually slicing his arm with a sword was still somewhat psychologically daunting.

But thinking about how the other two men had died, it seemed unreasonable to emerge completely unscathed himself.

With resolve, he pressed the blade against his arm and pulled it downwards fiercely.

Hiss.
