Chapter 174: Departure: Part 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Howling winds blew in from the gap of the stone hall.

Lin Sheng sat on the cold surface of the hall’s floor, his body glowing white as a gray rune slowly roused within the light.

Upon entering the dream realm, Lin Sheng did not do anything else besides sit down to meditate.

The stone hall seemed to be sealing something in it, but at that moment, he was not remotely close to Khadula. So, even if he were to unravel the secrets there, he would not be able to do anything.

Therefore, he simply used the hall as a meditation spot as he slowly waited for the next dream to come.

If he was not wrong, the change in the dream would happen in the next few days.

“If I can get stronger, my soul won’t be so burdened by Khadula, and by then, I can use him as a split body. That will increase overall security.”

Lin Sheng sighed.

He thought that he had gotten a good aide through a shortcut, but he never thought he would run into such a problem.

“Hopefully by the time I leave Xilin I can enter the next dream. That’ll increase the strength of my soul. Using this meditation method is just too slow.”

The night passed as Lin Sheng trained and meditated.

The next day, he went to look for Sarroux and the rest of the disciples, dispatching them from Huaisha to other cities.

Based on Redwin’s regulations, as long as they did not leave the Anduin province, they were free to move about.

Lin Sheng had asked Sarroux if he wanted to come along with him, but the latter declined. He wanted to be with his father, Wayne. At the same time, he planned to expand and develop the Ironfist Society in Xilin.

Lin Sheng did not say anything. He only gifted Sarroux the Bloodazure Harp and guided him on how to develop the sacred power in his body.

That way, even without the Ashen Seal or if the Ashen Seal faded from his memory, Sarroux could still use the harp to continue training his sacred powers.

The only thing was that Lin Sheng had no idea how long Sarroux would take to break through Level 4 with such a rudimentary training regime.

Based on Blackfeather City’s estimation, advancing from Level 3 to Level 4 would take two years at least, for a genius.

Now that Sarroux had the harp and probably capabilities almost akin to that of a genius, perhaps he could break through Level 4 in two years’ time.

As for the comparison with Blackfeather City’s classification and the Darksiders’ abilities, Lin Sheng had yet to create a consolidated comparison.

He would need to go against elites to find out.

Anyway, two days passed by just like that.

Within those two days, Lin Zhounian and his wife finally decided to hand over their house and shop to their grandfather and let the remaining relatives take care of him. Meanwhile, they would bring whatever savings they had along with their two children out of the country.

If it was possible, they planned to settle down as soon as possible and quickly build up a business overseas before they brought grandpa and the others out to avoid the chaos of war.

As for the Ironfist Society, Lin Sheng had handed most of the robbery money to Sarroux to use it as capital.

With the Blackfeather City’s unique combat techniques alongside Sarroux’s leadership. The Ironfist Society will still be able to grow even without Lin Sheng.

As not every gang or organization would have a Transcendent at the helm.

Lin Sheng too have left a Vault Warden behind to keep Sarroux safe.

Everything was ready by then and the third day, Lin Sheng took the black card to ascertain the authenticity of the access pass. After determining it was legitimate, he brought his parents and his sister to board the Xylondian’s cruise ship, the Ocean’s Silverstone.

The omnipotent Chen Minjia had even arranged for them two decent twin-bed rooms and gave them an emergency satellite phone number.

…

The cool sea breeze blew at Lin Sheng’s face alongside water splashes from time to time. And that felt a little itchy.

He leaned against the white railing as he pressed against the rubber lifebuoy.

It felt particularly tough and rubbery. He had no idea if it would work if thrown into the water.

*Splash!!*

A school of blue fishes darted out like an arrow out of the sea and back into it, attracting gasps from the passengers.

Lin Sheng wore a simple black t-shirt and jeans. His hair had been cut short by himself. It was not the best handiwork, but it’s the thought that counts.

While this getup was normal, it was rather underwhelming on this ship.

Among the passengers around him, the only person dressed like him were either waiters or sailors.

The real passengers are mostly in western suits and elegant dresses. Even if they were not in formal garbs, their clothes were clearly designer labels, and one could tell that just by a glance.

“What sort of ship did Sister Minjia put us on?” Lin Sheng was rather speechless, but he could understand why. Other than this rather expensive cruise ship, most other ships could not even hope to bring anyone away from the war zone.

And before they boarded, Chen Minjia too had reminded them to not cause any altercations with anyone. Things will get better once they got to Xylond.

As he pondered something, a voice suddenly came from behind.

It was a young lady.

“Can I please know where the fish-watching hall is?”

Her voice was clear and pretty, giving out the expression of someone about eighteen to nineteen years old, yet there was a sense of pretention as well.

As if the girl had been trying to keep her voice at her best.

Lin Sheng turned over and saw a trio of male and female that seemed to have come out from the banquet.

There were two ladies and a man, all of them young, probably between fifteen and nineteen.

One of the ladies were dressed in a white long gown that exposed part of her chest, her skin was eye-catchingly fair. Another one wore a purple-black tight-fitting dress, her chest and buttocks small, her face young and youthful. The girls were quite beautiful indeed.

The young man, on the other hand, had a confident, playful smile to him. While he was handsome, he gave out a slight hint of frivolity.

“I’m not a sailor, not sure where’s the place you’re looking for.” Lin Sheng answered flatly.

“What are you doing here then?”

“Looking at the sea, there are fishes jumping out of the sea from time to time.” He answered.

His identity now was just of a normal male passenger. The journey from Huaisha to Xylond’s Isaiah Harbor would take about six days, and he hoped for these six days to pass peacefully.

The moment they heard that fishes might jump out of the sea, the three young ones too excitedly stood by the side of the ship, chatting away as they enjoyed the scenery.

Due to the long journey on the cruise ship, there was nothing all too interesting, so there were plenty of entertainment facilities within the ship. Casinos, cardrooms, performance theater, concert hall, and the likes.

The three of them seemed to have come out of the concert hall after a dance and were outside to relax.

Lin Sheng, on the other hand, was outside to get some air as his parents and sister were seasick, and had yet to get used to it.

After the trio came over, a few more people appeared as they stood by the side of the ship to chat.

Humans are communal creatures, especially when there was a quiet spot to view the ocean, more and more people would appear.
