Karmic Adversity

Sword-infused wind clashed against the storm.

The yellow sand storm swept the severed limbs and body pieces up and away.

Gu Qing Shan put his sword away and spoke to the tree with the green glow: "I'm sorry for dirtying your place"

The tree responded: 「 It's fine, it's fine; nothing but a little smudge 」

Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Then I'll be on my way"

「 Hm, see you again, feel free to visit whenever you have time 」

"Yes, see you"

Gu Qing Shan once again leapt to the sky.

He checked the direction and continued flying towards the black market.

This time, he didn't run into anyone else and simply disappeared into the sand storm as he left the area of the tree.

After he left.

A small black scorpion jumped out from underneath the sand, whispering something to the tree

--------this was the same little scorpion that watched Gu Qing Shan in secret when he was resting before.
