"What?" The two males in Nine Calamities' room shouted with shock.

"Master, are you really sure about what you just said?" One of the males asked.

"Yes, I am sure about what I just said" Nine Calamities replied.

"So, you mean that he is out there walking about as we speak?" The other male asked while Nine Calamities solemnly nodded his head as a response to his question.

"Wow! That's crazy" The male that spoke previously said with deep astonishment in his eyes.

He then shook his head and said, "Master, should we go look for him and bring him back here so that we can understand how he is able to walk about as a living corpse. If we can get the technique, it could be really beneficial to you, master"

"Hmm. I had quickly thought that too when I was able to understand a moment ago that he was only an animated corpse." Nine Calamities said.

Then with a determined expression appearing in his face, he said "Go out there and find him. Then when you do, bring him back here. He has so many questions that he must answer. Now, go. And gather everyone else to move with you. Bloodfang shall not escape from us. He must be brought back here for questioning"

Once he gave that command, the two males in the room said "Yes, master. Bloodfang will be brought back to you. We will surely do our best to catch him"

Then they left Nine Calamities' room and went to the higher-ups residential chamber of their bandit organization. And once they appeared there, they went into the quarters of their fellow members to tell them about what their master just found out and what he requested.

Then whey those members heard what their colleagues said, they became deeply astonished as they were when they first heard about it.

"So, Bloodfang is only a corpse?" One of the higher-up members asked the male that delivered the news to him.

"Yes, he is only a corpse. And we have been sent out by master to go capture him and bring him back" The male that entered the room to deliver the news to his colleague said.

"Alright." The person said.

He then continued, "I guess Master must want to learn the technique that he used to transform himself into a corpse from him."

"Yes, that is what he he has in mind." The male replied and then stood from the seat that he sat on to leave the room that he was in.

And not long, the news of Xiao Lin being a corpse went round the whole castle, which then caused the hearts of many of them to be rocked by this amazing discovery.

Then in a particular room, many members of the bandit organization who could be seen seated on their bunker beds, began to discuss about Xiao Lin.

"I have always suspected that Bloodfang was a corpse. But I just couldn't say. You know, from his really pale skin and the way he behaves, I have always felt that he was a corpse"

"But would he be a true corpse that resurrected by itself after he had died sometimes ago in the past, or by some power from the world?"

Haha!

One of them suddenly burst into a loud and raucous laughter.

The person that laughed then said, "So, you think it was some power of the world that brought him back from the dead? Not really as a human being like us, but as a corpse that possessed life within it?"

Immediately he asked that question, one of them nodded his head and said, "Yes, I think that it was the world that brought him back from the dead."

"But do you really think that is possible in anyway?" That same person that spoke a moment ago, asked again with a curious expression in his face.

"Yes, I think so" Another said.

He then continued, "But from the way that you spoke, it's like you doubt that the world brought him back to life. So, since you heavily doubt this, what do you think allowed him to come back to life, even if he possibly used a resurrection technique?"

"Well, I don't know what technique he used to bring himself back to life, all I know is that it is not the world that infused life into his body." The person that was asked that question gave a response.

But just before they could continue their discussion on the topic, the voice of one of the higher-ups of their bandit organization unexpectedly rang out, saying "Everyone, let's move out, as per the order of our Master, Nine Calamities."

Once the voice said that, all the bandits quickly stood to their feet and quickly went to take some things which they stowed into the spatial rings.

Then when everyone felt that they were ready, they all left the castle to go find Xiao Lin.

While Nine Calamities who didn't want to leave everything to the hands of his bandits, walked to the window of his room and opened it up.

Then once he did so, he jumped out of it and immediately shot towards the sky.

...

At the moment, Xiao Lin who felt that he had gotten to a town that was really distant from the town that Nine Calamities castle was, began to ask around from people for the best sect that was around in this place.

Then after asking around from people, he was able to know which sect was the best. And this was the Celestial Dragon Emperor sect. A sect had ranked number one for fifty years as the sect that produced the best and outstanding student cultivators.

"I will have to go to that sect then" Xiao Lin said.

He then continued, "As a sect that has produced exceptional student cultivators for fifty years, that is the best place I can think of going to."

Then after making up his mind, he left where he was and went to a wine-drinking inn to relax there.

Once he got there, he sat down calmly and didn't try to order for anything, since he wouldn't be able to consume them. However, someone came to his side and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Oh. Don't worry yourself too much about that. I only came here to relax, before setting out on my journey" Xiao Lin said.

"Okay. But are you really sure that you don't want anything?" The person before him who was a waiter asked further.

"Nah. I am fine. Thanks for thinking too much about my welfare" Xiao Lin said with a smile

"Alright" The person nodded his head and turned around to leave Xiao Lin's presence.

Then once the waiter left, someone came to seat down at the table that Xiao Lin sat at.

And immediately he sat at the table, with Xiao Lin looking up at him, he said "Hello there, I have been observing you since. And you seem really calm. Anything going on in your life that you are trying to calm to your mind to think a way or ways out of it?"

Haha!

Xiao Lin laughed upon hearing that, he then said "Nah, I am fine."

"Alright" The person seated before Xiao Lin said with a nod of his head.

He then continued, "So, let me introduce myself first to you."

Then without waiting for Xiao Lin to say anything, he said "My name's Lou Xian. And I am a rogue cultivator"

And once he said that, whilst looking at Xiao Lin, he asked, "What yours?"

Xiao Lin who had no choice than to reciprocate the action of the male seated before him, said with a smile in his face, "My name's Xuang Wen. And I am also a rogue cultivator like you."

"Oh really? That's nice! We can bond together bro. We can form like an adventuring team that will travel to many remote places of our vast cultivation world, such as ancestral legacy grounds and so on to acquire treasures, legacy arts." The person that called himself Lou Xian, said with a smile in his face.

He then continued by asking, "Or what do you think? You like the idea, right?"

"Yea, bro Xian. I like your idea. But it can't work out for me, as I am on a very different path. I have many things to settle with my time in this settle. Sorry about that, bro Xian" Xiao Lin said with an apologetic expression appearing in his face.

Haha!

"It's nothing bro. I am cool with it. However. Can you tell me what you plan on doing? I mean, the plans that you want to fulfill now that you are here in this town?" Lou Xian said.

Xiao Lin gave a smile upon hearing what Lou Xian said, he then said "I am sorry to disappoint you, bro. Xian, I can't divulge that to you."

Xiao Lin then stood to his feet and left the table that he sat at to head to the exit door of the inn.
