AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic Vol 5 to 6

AZI Volume 6 Epilogue - The Seed Has Been Sown + Afterword

Along the way to the Serpent Deity Village—

"Hm?"

Long Hua and the others spotted a larger group up ahead.

Straining their eyes, they see the other group to be weapon spirits instead of practitioners.

"...?"

Noticing the smaller group that is led by Yang Hai approaching them—

"Oh?"

"What's up with the way some of those guys are dressed?"

The larger group of weapon spirits stepped forward with a look of confusion on their faces, to which, Shao Tianming states—

"They're the locals around here."

"It's a long story..."

As Gui Lian, Teng Hao, and Yang Hai begin to converse with the weapon spirits, Long Hua turns away from them, while thinking—

(Hmm, quite a bit of fodder to use. Now then, how should I leave a marker to guide those practitioners forward?)

Looking around, and detecting the scent of blood that is in the air, Long Hua uses his divine senses to look for its source, and—

"..."

Seeing several practitioner corpses lying at the center of the weapon spirits' group, Long Hua smiles faintly, as a jade slip—plundered from one of the dead practitioners' storage pouches appears in his right hand.

Holding the jade slip tightly, Long Hua carves a message onto it, and imbues Qing Ming Yang's marker onto it.

Momentarily—

"Right, let's go."

With their conversation concluded, the group begins to move again.

Situating himself at the back, and making sure that no one is watching, Long Hua shrouds the jade slip in sword Qi, and tosses it into the corpse pile.

(The seed has been sown, surnamed Qing and surnamed Lin, don't keep me waiting.)

Afterword

6/25/2023

For some reason, I feel like not much happened while I was writing this volume. Could just be because of the summer heat making me feel lightheaded while writing.

I feel like I was trying to cramp quite a bit into this volume. Hopefully, nothing seemed too off with that.

Some thoughts and reflections below:

• Gui Lian and Teng Hao were characters introduced in the third volume, mainly just simplistic mentions, along with the rest of Shen Le's office. That was mainly so that they didn't just suddenly appear in this volume.

• It's really difficult to give each character a good spotlight. Still, I think I at least did a decent job at getting the key characters pointed out.

• Much of this volume, admittedly feels like an info-dump—really more of a setup for what's to come in the next volume.

• One of the major things I wanted to settle in this volume is related to the Lord Tian She Zi subject, and that's mainly going to be related to the village in this ruin.

• Yao Ying, I feel like I did a decent job at getting her set up for future events. Still no idea how I want her and Long Hua's relationship to be like until the half-way point of the Leng Bing Realm's story.
