Without looking back, I headed towards Guanzhong. The reason was that the Qinglong Martial Hall, the origin and starting point of my martial arts, was located right there. I ran fiercely towards the martial hall, forgetting all the trivial matters like Zhangling Valley, the tragedy, and Luoyang. Perhaps it was because I had experienced Wangliang's death firsthand that something inside me had changed.
Whoosh!
Focusing solely on running, my lightness skill reached a speed comparable to a flying tiger, and I didn’t stop for a moment. My straw sandals broke five times, but I never felt tired. My muscles recovered their vitality almost instantly, as if regenerating.
Whirr
I leaped to the top of a mountain, just a half-day's journey from the Qinglong Martial Hall in Guanzhong. From here, I didn’t need to take the direct route through the mountain paths. Instead, moving through the main roads where people traveled would prevent unnecessary misunderstandings later. Breathing in the fresh mountain air, I gazed at the distant horizon and thought.
'What on earth was that torrential rain?'
It was strange.
It seemed artificial.
Although I couldn’t think about it due to my encounter with Wangliang, the dark clouds that enveloped me on my way to Jinlang Valley were clearly unusual. This was my eighth life, and I had never experienced such a torrential rain before. There must have been a 'reason' for such a powerful weather change.
I have a clear premise that in my reverse reincarnation, if there is a cause, the past changes.
Then what is the reason?
I thought about asking Wangliang, even if just for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea. There was no guarantee that Wangliang knew the reason, and I didn’t want to be distracted by other matters. Since I was already prepared to die, I could find out later if I wanted to.
'Ugh. There really are a lot of bandits and robbers around here...'
It was a dangerous situation.
"Help, please!"
"Ha ha ha!!"
Standing on the mountain top, I saw a few bandits wielding knives and trying to kill passersby on a quiet mountain path. They were about forty paces away, so I thought I wouldn’t be too late. I kicked a pebble with my internal energy.
Crack!
"Ah!"
The heads of two bandits shattered from the impact of the pebble. They likely died instantly from brain trauma. The remaining two bandits were taken aback and hesitated, so I kicked another pebble.
Smash!
"Kyaah!!"
The remaining bandits also fell, spilling blood and dying. I had killed four bandits in an instant, but I didn’t feel any guilt. After all, by dealing with the bandits, I had saved the lives of the passersby. However, I had always felt that this area had a lot of highwaymen and murderers.
Why are there so many bandits around here?
I muttered to myself and soon encountered a bandit preparing to rob someone in the mountains. He seemed to be operating alone and looked quite strong.
"Heh... Hand over everything you have, kid..."
The bandit bared his teeth, thinking he had found an easy target, but after a few punches from me, he knelt down, trembling.
"Ah... Young Hero... I’m sorry... Please spare my life..."
I had already killed four bandits today. While they were all deserving murderers and robbers, I felt it was awkward to keep killing them. Since I was already prepared to die, I could find out later if I wanted to.

I thought to myself and decided to help the passerby. However, I had always felt that this area had a lot of highwaymen and murderers.
