邪神之道 B1

Arrival at the Heavenly Demon Sect

"Many thanks ancestor."

Before the vortex that shows an image to the past vanishes Yao Xieshen clasps his hands and bowed to the Yao family ancestor, Yao Zhen Tian.

Yao Xieshen can feel the blood in his body boiling under the presence of the Yao family ancestor's gaze.

The figure of Yao Zhen Tian within the vortex nods as the rift vanishes.

Xie Mo Xin teleports to stand by his disciple's side.

Turning to his master with the face of Ye Gui Feng he opens his mouth to speak.

"Master I-"

Xie Mo Xin shakes his head before grabbing Ye Gui Feng.

"Say no more. You've done well to endure and even managed to destroy the cloud. You are now truly my Legacy Disciple."

Xie Mo Xin turns around to address those of the Burial Grounds Sect.

"My sincere thanks to you all for taking care of my disciple. In another month's time I shall have someone sent to invite you all to the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Master what about Patriarch Wei-"

Without waiting for Ye Gui Feng to finish speaking Xie Mo Xin grabs him by the shoulder and teleports away.

"..."

Wei Hailan looks at the spot that Xie Mo Xin had just been before she lets out a sigh.

"In the end you are fearful of coming to find me. So be it."

.....................................................................................................................

Getting 20,000 meters away from the battlefield Xie Mo Xin and Ye Gui Feng reappears at the top of a cliff.

As Xie Mo Xin sat down by a rock Ye Gui Feng blinks his eyes in confusion.

"Master, Patriarch We-"

"Enough."

"Hm?"

Sighing bitterly Xie Mo Xin takes off his hood. Beneath the hood his hair is completely white and his face a wrinkled mess. A long white beard grows out from the side and covers his mouth.

"I can't possibly face her with a face like this... She looks like she's still somewhere around her late twenties while I am but just a dried up old sack..."

Xie Mo Xin looks down on his wrinkled hands as he recalls the promise that he had made so many years ago.

The reason behind Xie Mo Xin wearing such an obscuring outfit is because he didn't want anyone to see his face that's been damaged by age. He wanted to make himself look stronger in front of others so that he can deter his enemies.

"..."

Ye Gui Feng didn't really know what to say as he stands in place. Although he didn't know what to say he felt like he needed to say something as he takes a step forward.

"Patriarch Wei has waited for you all this time. She even brought you up when she told me that you were alive. She still remembers that promise. Even if you no longer look as young as you did when you made that promise...!"

Ye Gui Feng clenches his fists as he raises his voice.

"Master you've made her wait for so many years! At the very least you should answer her hopes! You may have failed at reaching immortality but so what!? At the very least act like a man to the end and stand up straight in front of her!"
