After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 245 Outbound Scheme

"Master Shen, this will be your residence from now on. Please don't mind the short notice."

“Steward Ni, I am already extremely grateful that your esteemed household is willing to take in a homeless person like me. How could I dare to ask for anything else?” Shen Xu said sincerely.

"Haha, Shen Gongfeng, please stay here for now! It's getting late. I know you're seriously injured and have had a long and tiring journey, so you should rest early. I'll bring a doctor to check on your injuries tomorrow to see if they're serious."

"Then thank you very much, Butler Ni."

"No need to be so polite, Master Shen. These are all arrangements made by the master. It's better for us servants to be obedient," said Steward Ni with a kind expression.

Sensing the implication in Butler Ni's words, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. "Butler Ni, please rest assured, my life was saved by Master Lin and Miss Lin. I have nothing but gratitude for the Lin family."

"I think Master Shen may have misunderstood me, but given Master Shen's attitude, it seems that Master did not save the wrong person. I will have someone send over dinner later, because Master is back today, and Madam instructed the kitchen to prepare an exceptionally lavish meal. Master Shen is in for a treat today."

"That's truly my good fortune!"

After seeing Butler Ni off, Shen Xu couldn't wait to lie down on the not-so-soft bed, which was like paradise compared to the carriage.

The carriage was not only cramped but also very bumpy, which was torture for a wounded soldier like him who was covered in injuries.

Actually, being able to become a retainer in the Lin family was something he hadn't expected. He had originally planned to go back to his old profession after entering Fumo City, but unexpectedly, a few casual stories he told helped him find a good place to freeload.

Since the Lin family has treated him well, he plans to stay there to recover from his injuries before making any other plans. After all, he might never find such a peaceful place again once he leaves.

Moreover, he could use the Lin family's power to inquire about things outside the realm. He didn't want to stay in the Blood Central Realm for the rest of his life, or even for a year.

It's only been a few years since the Blood Fiend Palace's invasion, but his escape plan hasn't even begun yet, and his time is running out.

Since he was able to get in, he believed there must be a way to get out.

As the central world of the Blood Central Realm, he believed that the World Spirit of the Blood Central Realm must know of the existence of the True Origin Continent. As long as he could build a good relationship with the World Spirit, he could ask the World Spirit to send him back.

"Uh..." Shen Xu was suddenly dumbfounded by his own idea. He was the representative of the outside forces; to ask the World Spirit to send him back was simply wishful thinking.

Moreover, judging from the power structure of the Blood Central Realm, it's clear that the demonic beasts are the true masters of this small world, and the attitude of the Realm Spirits towards humans is hard to predict. If he were to encounter a Realm Spirit that is extremely xenophobic, he could start preparing for his fate in advance.

However, apart from the World Spirit, he couldn't think of any other way to help him escape the Blood Central Realm. Moreover, World Spirits weren't easy to find, and he didn't know if the higher-ups of the human race in this world knew anything about things outside the realm. He could try to make contact with them.

However, given the methods of the Four Directions Sword Alliance, they must know that there is a secret realm behind Shuanghe Village. He guessed that Wang Rong probably wanted them to enter the secret realm to explore.

This also explains why the jade pendant Wang Rong gave him and the pattern on his chest are somewhat similar. Both are probably array patterns that can teleport across realms. Moreover, Shen Xu thinks that the reason why the jade pendant failed on him is probably related to the array pattern on his chest.

Therefore, he could also hope that once the Four Directions Sword Alliance learned that there was a small world behind Shuanghe Village, they would spare no effort to build a gate between the two worlds, so that he could go back.

As for who will take the message out?

He was certain that the lazy crane had followed him in. Given the luck of the Qiling White Crane, it would surely survive. Moreover, it had teleportation array patterns on its body. If he could find the lazy crane, he could send the message out.

Thinking about it this way, there are actually quite a few things he can do, but right now he should focus on recovering from his injuries and find an opportunity to test his current strength level in the Blood Central Realm.

After some time, a maid brought him dinner, which was indeed very sumptuous.

Most of the dishes were meat, and all of them were made from demonic beast meat, which contained a strong amount of blood and vital energy. An ordinary person would probably not be able to handle it after just one bite, but for him, such food was a great tonic, since he had consumed a lot of blood and vital energy to heal his injuries in the past two days.

Even a storyteller like him gets to eat such good food; it must be that Master Lin has shown his kindness again.

However, the vital energy contained in the flesh of these demonic beasts reminded him that although the vital energy environment in the Blood Central Realm was not suitable for human cultivators, it did not seem to have much of an effect on demonic beasts.

Ordinary demons have a great advantage that humans cannot match: their strong ability to adapt to the environment. The physical structure of most demons means that they do not have a high demand for the purity of their vital energy, and they can also evolve corresponding organs and parts according to the environment over time.

The monsters here seem to have evolved a set of energy filters, otherwise the flesh and blood in front of him shouldn't have such pure energy, almost comparable to the energy in ordinary areas of the True Origin Continent.

After eating the monster meat, Shen Xu felt much better. To be honest, he really wanted to see the fighting style of this world and whether the ancient cultivators that Lin Zhengwei mentioned were actually connected to the True Origin Continent.

I wonder if anyone else has entered this world? If they have, where will they be? If the river in Shuanghe Village is indeed the Mojiang River, then it should fall within the Mojiang River basin.

If it's random, that's not good news. After all, most of the Blood Central Realm is under the control of demonic beasts, so it's a low-probability event that he landed in the territory controlled by the Seven Kingdoms.

……

Three days ago, on the outskirts of Shuanghe Village.

"Aunt Wang, why did you lie to us?" Bai Lu asked angrily.

Wang Rong calmly replied, "Where did I lie to you?"

"You knew perfectly well that there was a secret realm behind Shuanghe Village, so why did you still make us go there to explore? The boundary between the two is full of spatial rifts, and eventually there are even spatial turbulence everywhere. Is that something we can access right now?"

"That's why I imprinted you with interdimensional teleportation arrays. The Sword Alliance has spent so much on you, and it's disappointing that you didn't succeed in entering the secret realm."

"Can……"

“Miss!” Guan Bi shook her head at Bai Lu.

"I'm very worried about Sister Xiao Yi and Shen Xu. Does Senior Wang know about their current situation?" Ye Zhi asked, her brows furrowed with concern.

"Xiao Yi and Qi Ling Baihe should have successfully entered the secret realm, as for Shen Xu, only heaven knows."

"Aunt Wang, what do you mean?" Bai Lu immediately frowned.

"The array patterns on his body weren't successfully imprinted. Didn't he tell you?" Wang Rong couldn't help but wonder.

"What?!" the three women exclaimed in unison, shocked.
