On the way to ScarletDragonMountain Range

Jasmine took his time walking through the forest, rivers, and high mountains, enjoying nature and killing beasts and monsters.

It had already been ten days since the destruction of the Biao Clan, and this news simply blew up the Blue Wind Empire. Many rumors spread about the "Punisher", "Messenger of Heaven", "God of Mercy" and these are just flowers, giving him all different names.

The people he saved spoke of him as if he were the god of the whole world. They even began to pray before eating, remembering him, although people did not see his appearance.

The Imperial Family issued a decree to find this person that destroyed the Biao Clan and reward him, but Jasmine would be an idiot if he accepted the reward.

The other four sects did not show any interest in him, only issuing a decree that they welcome the visitor who killed all the members of the Biao Clan.

Even the Heavenly Sword Realm had spread rumors that they would be happy if the "savior" of lives became their elder.

Jasmine only grunted at all this news and left the city.

SHSHSHSSSS!

Jasmine disappeared from the place where a large snake with a length of ten meters and a girth like two people attacked.

He reappeared as if out of thin air next to the stunned snake, chopping off its head with his giant sword - the Sword of Hades.

System: Congratulations! You have leveled up!

"Ugh…" Jasmine sighed. He hasn't leveled up in over six months. To do this, he needs opponents an order of magnitude, or even more, stronger than him. And since there were not enough monsters near Floating Cloud City, he came here.

Level 8 True Profound Realm!

Jasmine smiled. He was pleased with his progress.

Floating Cloud City.

"Father, did you know anything about him?" Xia Qingyue asked with a cold and emotionless voice as she entered Xia Hongyi's office.

Xia Hongyi looked at his daughter with a strange look, who was so beautiful that he had to answer people of high status hundreds of times every day: My daughter is busy and already engaged. I beg your pardon.

He was glad when Xia Qingyue agreed to marry Xiao Che more than a year ago, because this wedding of Xia Hongyi and Xiao Ying had been discussed for a long time and he did not want to take back his words.

Xiao Ying was the son of Xiao Le. He was considered the number one genius of his generation in Floating Cloud City and was the one who saved Xia Qingyue as a child. For this reason, Xia Hongyi betrothed his daughter to her savior's son.

But, with the appearance of that mysterious boy six months ago, his daughter has changed. If earlier she practically did not leave her room and constantly developed, then after the arrival of the "prince", as Xia Hongyi called Jasmine to himself, Xia Qingyue began to go out almost every day and walk around the clan, as if looking for someone.

And if at first he did not attach any importance to this, then soon Xia Hongyi saw his daughter watching Jasmine from afar, while he, in turn, either read a book or sat and meditated.

Xia Hongyi felt uneasy. He wanted to stop the meetings between his daughter and that boy since he could see where it was going, but thinking that Xia Qingyue was showing interest in someone for the first time, he changed his mind about getting involved.

A few weeks ago, Jasmine disappeared, leaving behind expensive pills that Xia Hongyi gave to his daughter. From that day on, Xia Qingyue was not herself, and an unstable ice aura was emitted from her room.

On the third day, Xia Hongyi approached his daughter and said that he would look for Jasmine. At that moment, he saw Xia Qingyue's hopeful face that he had never seen before.

Here, to this day, his people are combing every corner of the surrounding territories, but to no avail.

"Sorry, my daughter, but nothing. Xia Hongyi stood up from his chair and stroked his daughter's hair. Although her face was devoid of emotion, like ice, he, like her father, saw in her a hint of concern.

"…and about a person who usually wears a hood and has red eyes?" Xia Qingyue whispered with smoldering hope.

Xia Hongyi narrowed his eyes. He understood that the person who massacred Floating Cloud City and Jasmine were the same practitioner. But he didn't know whether to tell his daughter about the news he had received or not...

Looking into Xia Qingyue's eyes that were losing hope, Xia Hongyi made up his mind.

"Yes, we found it… a trace.

- Truth? Where? Xia Qingyue smiled at first, but then became embarrassed, and then again acquired a cold disposition.

"Cian Forest City and this person…destroyed the Biao Clan." Xia Hongyi said in a trembling voice. He didn't know if Jasmine had destroyed the clan or if a hidden expert had helped him, but that was already terrifying. The Biao Clan Ancestor was at the peak of the Heavenly Profound Realm, half a step into the Emperor Profound Realm. You could imagine how strong this man is.

— Ah! Qingyue widened her eyes in surprise. She knew about the vile Biao clan, because their Master had already visited her father more than once with a request to take her as his wife. And Qingyue would have been taken away long ago if not for the protection of Frozen Cloud Palace.

"Father, can we go to Cian?"

Hongyi looked at his daughter with narrowed eyes, causing Qingyue to look away. He sighed and said.

"My daughter, you are a disciple of Frozen Cloud Palace. They let you get married, but I don't think they will let you be with a man... before it's too late, forget about him. Hongyi hated to say this, but he should have done it like her father. If things go any further and his daughter falls in love with that boy, it will only hurt her.

"Jasmine… he's not an ordinary child." Hongyi turned and sat down at the paperwork again, ignoring his frozen daughter. He knew that she was in shock and did not interfere with her. Hongyi himself remembered talking to Jasmine. This boy gave him the feeling that he was far from being a child…

Xia Qingyue bit her lip and left the room. Each step towards his bedroom became more and more difficult. Feeling some moisture on her cheek, she touched her face…

"Tears…" Qingyue whispered. After taking a breath and strengthening her heart, her gaze became emotionless again, and her aura gave off a chill, but she did not notice that her strength had increased…
