"That's right. It's time for me and Tina to leave," Doris replied, nodding her head.
Tina stared longingly at Ricky. She didn't want to leave, but she had no choice. Her leaving would be a good thing for both of them. After all, she could become stronger and Ricky wouldn't have to look after her next time they met.
"Now that Tina's evil spirit has been cleared, she needs to spend some time training in our ancestral land. Ricky, you must be going to the Misty South Palace soon. You can come and visit her in our clan if you want," Doris suggested when she saw how forlorn they both looked.
"I know I can, Doris. But before you leave, I want to check Tina one more time. Now that my strength and cultivation levels have improved, I can find the smallest amount of evil spirit in her," Ricky urged.
"Okay. Thank you," Doris replied.
Meanwhile, the old man and Lucas were walking. They didn't stop until they were a long distance from the Five-element Sect.
When he saw that the anger was still present on Lucas' face, the old man decided he should say something. "Young master, are you all right?" He increased the volume of his voice so that Lucas would hear him and he could bring Lucas back to reality.
Lucas shook his head several times and turned to face the old man. Without saying a word, he sat down and crossed his legs.
Lots of time passed before Lucas opened his eyes again. At that point, every trace of the anger was gone from his face. It had been replaced by resentment.
"Thank you," Lucas said to the old man as he got to his feet.
If the old man hadn't brought him back to reality, he could have lost control again. It was all Ricky's fault. Lucas had lost to him and he wasn't used to losing.
"Don't mention it. I'm glad that you are feeling better," the old man replied.
"It's crazy! I never thought that Ricky was that powerful!" Lucas exclaimed.
"Young master, the world is huge. There are more geniuses than you can imagine and a lot of them are very talented. You're going to come across many people that are more talented than you are. I hope you will keep that in mind next time and that you will keep your head on straight. This is a place where the strong rules. If you want to defeat the others, you have to be powerful. Sometimes, you're going to have to resort to using all of the resources you have or you're even going to have to set up traps,"
the old man explained.
"I understand." Lucas nodded sharply. Then, with a gleam in his eyes, he started to think about what he was going to do next.
'This doesn't make sense. I know that Doris checked for the evil spirit in Tina's body, but she said that there wasn't any. It looks like she missed that small evil spirit mass that I've found, ' Ricky thought to himself.
"Doris is supposed to be a great saint, but she missed something that was pretty obvious. This mass looks serious," Ricky told the Dragon Intent Grass, scrunching his face into a frown.
"The devil that possessed this evil spirit must have been powerful. Why else would you not be able to remove it from Tina? Now that your chromatic ancestral spirit has transformed into the bright ancestral spirit, you should be able to expel any type of evil spirit. It doesn't make any sense," the Dragon Intent Grass replied.
"I don't know what's going on either," Ricky answered, shrugging his shoulders.
Refusing to give in to resignation, Ricky tried one more time to remove the evil spirit mass from Tina's body.
He took a deep breath and tried using the bright ancestral spirit and the devouring power, but the evil spirit mass fought back.
Ricky gasped.
When his bright ancestral spirit and devouring power wrapped around it, the evil spirit mass released black light and banished them. If Ricky tried to increase his power, Tina would get hurt.
Besides, Ricky felt like the evil spirit was too strong and that it would be impossible for him to remove it even if he tried his hardest.
After all, the evil spirit mass had fooled Tina and a great saint like Doris.
If Ricky hadn't had the chromatic ancestral spirit in his possession, the evil spirit mass would have slipped by unnoticed.
'This is going to be harder to deal with than I thought!' Ricky thought, shaking his head.
Thankfully, the evil spirit mass wasn't growing stronger or causing any damage to Tina. It didn't have to be dealt with immediately.
"I guess I will have to increase my strength in order to deal with the evil spirit mass," Ricky said, frowning.
