I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 28: I'm outta here!

In the morning, the sky is bright.

Qingmu City, the Mo family residence.

With the death of the Mo family patriarch, the Mo family mansion is now filled with a desolate atmosphere. The Mo family patriarch is gone, and the Mo family can no longer sit on the throne of the number one family in Qingmu City.

Outside the Mo family mansion, all was silent.

But beneath this silence, many eyes were fixed on the Mo family mansion, watching intently, ready to strike at any moment.

Finally, as the rising sun peeked out from behind the clouds with its last rays of dawn, dozens of cultivators from three other locations in Qingmu City surged forth, rushing towards the Mo family mansion.

"Hahaha, the Mohists will surely be destroyed today!" "That's right! After the Mohists are destroyed, we'll each rely on our own abilities, and whoever gets what they want will keep it!"

"it is good!"

"Kill--"

After several days of preparation, the other three families in Qingmu City gathered all their forces and prepared to wipe out the most powerful family in Qingmu City in one fell swoop!

After all, the Mo family was very wealthy, and a Nascent Soul stage ancestor would leave behind a lot of things.

But now, those who guarded these treasures are long gone.

They were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts to the powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage who had killed the Mo family's patriarch!

One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.

……

Outside Aoki Castle.

In a grove of trees, Gu Heng looked at the countless surging auras rising from the city and sighed.

"The situation in Qingmu City has indeed changed."

He negotiated the price and packed his things last night, and the clinic had already become someone else's property. However, not long after he left the city this morning, the city was already in an uproar.

Although Gu Heng was a mortal, he still understood the law of the jungle among cultivators. The Mo family patriarch died so suddenly that the Mo family was not prepared. How could others let go of this opportunity to eat fat meat?

Of course, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well. When cultivators fight, it's not easy for ordinary people to escape.

Fortunately, I walked fast.

"Hmph, I should have taken action and wiped out those ants. Now, to avoid revealing his identity as a powerful figure, my master has to move to another place and continue living a mortal life..."

The silver kitten, Su Jinxi, was perched on Gu Heng's shoulder, gazing in the direction of Qingmu City, feeling quite displeased. As a tenth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator, a quick scan of her spiritual sense revealed the true nature of the cultivators in Qingmu City—not a single one was any real threat!

The three strongest among them are only at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and judging from their appearance, the Divine Transformation stage is an insurmountable barrier for them. In short, they are trash.

Even without lifting a finger, she could crush these guys to death with a mere wisp of her aura. But unfortunately, Gu Heng didn't want to reveal his identity. He descended to the mortal realm, opened a clinic, and even used rare and precious herbs to refine medicine. In order to prevent humans from being overwhelmed by the medicinal power, his method of dispersing the medicinal power was nothing short of a waste...

All of this is for the sake of four words—"experiencing life."

He really enjoyed it.

That makes sense. After all, he's already so strong, and he deserves enough praise and admiration. Maybe he's just tired of it and wants a change.

"Fine, since Master wants to leave, then let him leave. There are so many cities in this human dynasty, Master will surely find one he likes." With that thought, Su Jinxi continued to perch on Gu Heng's shoulder, wagging her paws and tail.

"Here, let's eat."

Seeing Xiao Xi moving around, Gu Heng immediately understood and took out a sugar pill from his system backpack. He had made over a hundred of these after packing his things last night. They were good for replenishing energy while traveling.

He ate one this morning and then felt like he didn't need to eat anything else today.

Su Jinxi looked at the purple round ball he handed her, stuck out her cat tongue, and rolled it up inside.

Meow!

"Hmm... This seventh-grade Qi-stabilizing and blood-condensing pill is quite potent, completely different from the ones I used to take."

Su Jinxi felt that she was living a very comfortable life.

Except that she can't transform into a human. Gu Heng seems to prefer that she stays in her demon form, and she has to behave like an ordinary kitten, at least when he's around, she has to act like a wild cat that hasn't yet developed any intelligence.

Of course, with such good pills to eat every day, not to mention her, even her cheap clan leader would have to obediently turn into a cat and tug at Gu Heng's pants every day begging for food.

There's no other reason than that they gave way to far too much.

Just as Su Jinxi was slowly refining the medicinal power, she suddenly realized that the scenery around her changed almost instantly!

How is this going?

She looked down and realized that Gu Heng was indeed walking step by step, but with each step he took, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, as if...

Gu Heng covered several miles in a single step!

……

As dusk approached and night was about to fall, Gu Heng stood halfway up a solitary mountain, looking at the dense forest before him. After thinking for a moment, he decided to start a fire here.

There was a city ten miles away, but the city gates were always closed after nightfall to prevent bandits and thieves from entering. They ignored ordinary people who had not entered the city by sunset.

Of course, cultivators are irrelevant; they have their own ways to enter the city. Those who can fly by controlling their qi simply ignore these rules and enter from the sky.

Gu Heng felt that this rule was simply an inconvenience for ordinary people.

Despite his complaints, Gu Heng decided to rest in the dense forest for the night.

He walked into the deep forest, found a clearing that was very dry, and didn't need to collect firewood. There was a huge amount in the system store, so he casually took out two or three bundles, threw them there, wiped them lightly, and set them on fire.

Flames ignited, and Gu Heng leaned against a large rock beside him, took a sugar pill, and fed it to Xiao Xi on his lap.

"Hmm... it'll take another day to get to Baidi City." Gu Heng silently took out a map.

This is a map of the Sunfire Dynasty.

Baidi City was still very, very far away from his location... but in just one day, he had already traveled half the distance.

This is all thanks to the "Swift Boots" he's wearing.

This thing is great!

Of all the items the system gave him, these Swift Boots were the most useful. They had no other function than to make him walk fast. In one day, he had already traveled over a thousand miles from Qingmu City. However, the Sun Flame Dynasty was very, very large, or rather, the world itself was very large. The distance that cultivators could travel was far greater than that of ordinary people.

Fortunately, thanks to the system's "generous gift," Gu Heng at least didn't have to spend a year and a half to get to Baidi City.

"Meow meow!"

Xiao Xi suddenly called out. Gu Heng looked to his left and saw a rustling sound coming from a dark, dense forest.

"What the hell?"

Gu Heng became alert, suddenly!

From the darkness, a giant python several meters long leaped out!
