Da Hei's eyes lit up as he hurriedly said, "Brother Stone, feel free to tell me."

Liu Di took out two stones and handed them over to Da Hei. "Take these two stones and hurry to Jin Family Stronghold. Then, ask them to help you find as many of these stones as possible." Then, he took out several gold ingots and gave it to Da Hei.

Da Hei took the stones and looked left and right, then said seriously: "I will definitely find these stones, after you leave, I will rush to Jin Family Stronghold!"

This was Liu Di's idea all of a sudden. First, he had to do something for Da Hei to stop him from being depressed. The other was thinking that his opponent was too strong, and that was the strength of a country. It might not be difficult to kill a few of them, but to take revenge on them would be wishful thinking.

Although he was the first one who wanted to call her master, he gave up.

Firstly, he wasn't clear about his master's level of cultivation, but no matter how strong he was, he was only one person. While his own enemy was a country, although his master was powerful, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.

It was one thing to be a martial artist in the secular world, but there were many cultivators participating in the national war. There was definitely no lack of experts amongst them. He had already lost Ye Er, there was no need for his master to take the risk.

Secondly, Liu Di was aware of his own weakness. In his previous life, he had worked nine to five units to grind his water caltrops. He had long since lost his youthful vigor. Even when he transmigrated to this world, he had never thought of being a hero. He only wanted to spend his days as an unborn deity in this paradise.

Master was right, he was too mature and gentle, and had no ambition. Normally, it was fine, but once something happened, how could he take responsibility for it?

Liu Di made up his mind. This was a responsibility that he couldn't shirk, nor could he shirk! The road to revenge was extremely difficult, and one's life and death depended on the time taken to breathe.

Looking at Ye Er's grave, he mumbled, "It's just the only one dying."

Da Hei was confused, "Brother Stone, what did you say?"

Liu Di stood up and said, "Da Hei, I'll be leaving first. Take care!"

With that, he turned around and left, and around his body, there was a Divine Movement, instantly appearing several kilometers away. This was Liu Di purposely displaying the Divine Movement for Da Hei to see.

When Da Hei saw Liu Di's ability, he naturally no longer worried about Liu Di's safety. From afar, he shouted, "Brother Stone, you have to take care of yourself. I'll wait for your return!"

Wu Tie had already used Divine Movement four times and was now several kilometers away. Seeing that he had left Da Hei's line of sight, Liu Di stopped his cultivation and adjusted his breathing. He then started to use his spiritual energy to control the wind as he travelled.

The Divine Movement consumed a lot of soul power. Even if Liu Di's soul power was stronger than the others, he could only barely endure the soul power consumption five times in a row.

Liu Di headed east. Two days later, he arrived at the first town on the journey east: West Pass.

Liu Di estimated that they walked around a thousand miles. The town was not big, and the whole street was only long with about forty shops on both sides.

Liu Di thought that he had to buy a horse as a ride, and while he was at it, he would ask around for some information, as well as a rough route to Eastern Domain.

There were only two restaurants in the town, so Liu Di chose the one that seemed slightly bigger. He then took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. "I need to ask a few questions. If you can satisfy me with your answer, this silver ingot is yours."

The shop assistant's eyes lit up. This silver ingot was enough for him to earn money for more than half a year! He immediately patted his chest and said, "Please do not hesitate to ask, I, Xiao Liu, will tell you anything I know."

Liu Di did not waste any time: "How far is Eastern Domain to go here?"

The shop assistant said complacently: "I really don't know about this. In the past, there were a lot of customers who went to the Eastern Domain at the restaurant, so I often hear them talk about this. The Eastern Domain is about thirty thousand kilometers away from here! "

"Does this town have a map of Eastern Domain for sale?"

The shop assistant shook his head. "The journey from Eastern Domain to here is very far, but the main problem is that there are no official roads. The mountains overlap, and the wild roads between the mountains are extremely rugged and difficult to traverse. If it wasn't for an old man understanding the way, it's possible for ordinary people to wander around the mountains for a few years."

Hearing that, Liu Di became suspicious. He then asked, "When I was on my way from the west, I discovered that there was only one road within a hundred miles. Does this mean that I must pass through this town on my way to the east?"

The shop assistant nodded, "The words of the guest are not wrong. From the west to the east, our town must pass through. Within a circumference of a few hundred kilometers, there are no paths at all. "

Liu Di became even more suspicious, "Buddy, three years ago during the winter, there was a group of people. About a hundred people passed by from east to west, do you remember?"

"Three years ago?" The clerk thought for a moment. "Not really. But that's impossible, even though there are occasional caravans passing by, the maximum was around thirty people. If there were a hundred people, it would be extremely rare, and I would definitely remember them. "I remember that four years ago, there was a group of about a hundred people that passed by our town. However, they seemed to have come from the west.

Liu Di's heart skipped a beat, even Blacksmith Uncle and the rest.

"Thank you." Liu Di handed the silver to the shop assistant, and then took out 100 silver and gave it to the shop assistant: "I still need you to do me a favor. I need a horse to ride on. "Here's a hundred liang, I'll be thanking you for the rest of the horse."

The shop assistant was overjoyed. A better horse would cost around thirty taels! He hurriedly agreed and turned around to greet the shopkeeper, then went to look for a horse.

After sending the shop assistant away, Liu Di fell into deep thought.

There were too many suspicious points about this matter. Firstly, the pirates came from the east and headed to Peach Village. Of course, there was a chance that the fellow might have remembered incorrectly or that the pirates might have found a way around it. Although there was nowhere to go, it was still okay to climb over mountains and wade through water.

Secondly, Eastern Domain was thirty thousand miles away from Peach Village, and the pirates were scurrying deeper into the empire just to kill a few women and children. This was too bizarre, and the cost was too high, so it was not worth it at all. No matter how hard Blacksmith Uncle and the rest tried to make the pirates want to take revenge, they wouldn't act without thinking of the consequences.

Thirdly, and also the most important point of all, it was basically certain that the pirates did not do it. Even if it really was the pirates, it would definitely not be the Eastern Domain pirates.

The journey then depended entirely on the speed of the horses. A better horse could only run six hours a day, or else the horse would not be able to keep up. In this way, he would only be able to run three hundred li. As a modern man, Liu Di knew that traveling a thousand miles in a day was just a metaphor.

What was mentioned above was still a straight road, but between the east and the west were lofty mountains and lofty ridges; the road was bumpy. Especially if it was a group of people and horses, their speed would be affected. Even if it was the most optimistic estimation, being able to travel a hundred miles in a day was already quite impressive.

If this was to be counted, from the Peach Village to the Eastern Domain, it should at least be around ten months or so. Blacksmith Uncle and the rest would only be able to arrive at the Eastern Domain Battlefield ten months later. They only have a few hundred people, so even if they managed to accomplish a great deed, it would take them at least half a year to get their revenge on the pirates.

Then, the pirates arrived at Peach Village for revenge. This period of time was also ten months.

The time difference between these two periods is at least two years. It was only a little more than a year since Blacksmith Uncle and the others had set out to exterminate the village. If he were to calculate it this way, there was no way that it was done by the pirates with Eastern Domain.

When Liu Di thought of this, he immediately felt relieved.

Although he could go to Eastern Domain and find Blacksmith Uncle and the others, they could still discuss it together. However, even as a Spirit Master, he could only hold the slight advantage in his journey. This trip had taken too long, and three years had already passed since the tragedy of Peach Village.

Liu Di made up his mind. He only needed to wait for the worker to bring the horse to him and then go back to discuss it with Da Hei.

As for Da Hei, after Liu Di left, he prepared a bit before heading to Jin Family Stronghold. Although he was already familiar with this road, there was no proper official road, it was a nameless mountain road full of mountains and rivers. On the fourth night, Da Hei arrived at Jin Family Stronghold.

The villagers of Jin Family Stronghold had a very good impression of this tough youth. Everyone was also eager to help, and they didn't care how little the money was paid.

Thus, Da Hei settled down under the Jin Family Stronghold. Every day, he would follow the crowd and search the entire mountain for ores. Every day, Brother Stone would talk about when he would be able to come back.

However, what he did not know was that his Brother Stone had actually gone back long ago. If nothing went wrong, he should have been able to see him the day he arrived at Jin Family Stronghold.
