Chapter 716: Future

Sage had decided on a course of action some time ago and he planned to follow it through. While he was tempted to change his plan to spend time at the Holy Flame Sect, he resisted that urge. He met back up with Ling later that day and they spent a few weeks in the Sect as hed originally planned. Since they wouldnt return for years they had many things to see, people to visit, and parties to attend. The two of them had also placed those closest to them into difficult positions when they offered them an opportunity. At the offer to leave the Sect for an unknown number of years, most they asked were undecided.

They werent expecting anyone to take them up on the offer, but they still couldnt resist asking. Surprisingly, there were a few who accepted. Lings uncle, Yuhan, wasnt willing to be apart from his only family again for such a long time so he left with them. He also brought along his personal disciple, Tan Shun, a gentle girl that had grown more mature since Sage last saw her, but she still seemed to enjoy the gruff abuse of the Beast Tamer. Also, Ling brought along her secretary Wen Wen. Others were tempted, but they didnt wish to separate from their friends and family. Sages three friends were Elders in the Sect, and their ties were too deep to give up just to go along with him. It was a similar situation with Lings friends. They all had fond memories of each other and had spent good times together in the past, but they werent as inseparable as they once had been when they were younger. Sage felt it was somewhat telling that the three women from the Tiankong Clan had been Lings bridesmaids. She was closer to them than her old friends now after working together so many years. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

With their business settled, Sage met with Peak Master Zhen again and they established more methods of contact. Sage got the impression that she thought he was going on the run again.

She is quite well informed of what goes on in the Sect, but shes got the wrong idea.

With matters settled at the Holy Flame Sect, they boarded up the Wan Manor and everyone entered the Universe Ring which Elder Manji carried back to the Dou Kingdom. Sage had been tight-lipped about their plans for the future, and when they asked he didnt tell them where Manji was carrying them to. The Tiankong siblings were expecting some great surprise, only to find out that when they stopped they were already back at the Mount Song Sword Sect and had returned to where their own clan was waiting.

He didnt care if they didnt get a chance to use the Pool of Eternal Tears for hundreds of years after this. The earlier they could advance the greater their lifespan would become. It would also help his peace of mind if he didnt have to worry as much about their safety. If his enemies found they couldnt hurt him, there was always the chance theyd go after those he cared for instead.

Ling and Jiao were led into the temple-like building where the large ice statue of the two lovers, Hong Ri and Hei Yue. They stopped in place, admiring the twenty foot tall statue for a while. At a cursory look, the two seemed to be holding each other lovingly, but looking closer there was a distinctly desolate and sad look in their eyes. The story of two people who did all they could to be together, but the whole world was arrayed against them. Jiao covered her face, trying to hide the emotion it stirred in her, while Ling merely let out a loud and sad sigh.

They walked forward and entered the Pool of Eternal Tears.

Sage had to watch from afar, as the Mount Song Sword Sect had already set up a very powerful defensive array around the central room of this building. He could only look into the room from the hallway, as theyd created strict rules to keep anyone from ruining their carefully planned schedule. A single problem could create a problem that spanned decades, so it was better to be safe than sorry. Sage certainly didnt blame them for their strictness.

A few days later, the light from the Pool of Eternal Tears had dimmed once again and the three of them left the way they came.
