I lowered my head and quietly said:

"Elder Ancestor, if I die today and the Winged Snake Clan survives, find a way to make Ninth Lord forget about me. Our fate ends here."

Before leaving Chang Family Village, I looked back and whispered:

"If I can make it back alive, I will kneel down and apologize to each of you, but today you must allow me to face this alone. Ninth Lord, wait for my return, and then you can break my legs if you like; once again, I'm going to disobey."

After finishing my words, I left Chang Family Village. I knew that as soon as I left the Taiyin Mountain Range, that old man would leave it as well.

He had traversed mountains and rivers just to find me.

After my orifices had been sealed, my physical condition was greatly diminished, and my walking speed had slowed considerably. My entire body needed to adapt to the state without the orifices.

I walked for a day and a night before I finally descended the mountain.
