Chapter 377: Her Enemies. The Past. Her Hatred.
Soon, the sky distorted slightly, and a big mountain was shown with a great building on top.
"Apart from you, I have come to have 3 disciples. Two are dead, do you want to know where the other one is?" She asked with a smile and stared at the big mountain in the illusory image in front of her.
Tang Yin also looked at it and felt a strange feeling coming from that place...
He knew where that was.
He had recently been nearby, so he could easily notice it.
'It's the central region, the place where I felt that powerful presence from.' Tang Yin thought as he frowned.
With everything his master had said, he understood that her third disciple was in that place. Therefore, he answered that, and she nodded.
"Yes, my third disciple, although some believe him to be dead, is actually also one of my greatest enemies. He is the current disciple of the most powerful being in the Central Region, the disciple of One God. And he stands in that castle as the Heir of the Central Region." She said and then waved her hand again so that the illusory image dispersed into the clouds.
"Perhaps you don't know about this because it is history of the past. But our northwest region was the most powerful in the entire continent. My father, the Lightning God, was so powerful that no one could match him. But my father was not invincible and was banished by the Central Region. Five Gods joined with a Legendary Divine Beast to assassinate him, back then."
"God of Alchemy. God of the Sun. Supreme God, those three were the main force and my father died at the hands of the Sun God. Subsequently, the Lightning Divine Sect suffered catastrophe after catastrophe until it finally ended up becoming a small Red Thunder Sect.
With the help of the Heavenly Hammer God at the time, the Central Region was locked inside his shell, for they realized that he was as powerful as the Lightning God himself."
"So, that's how we got here."
"But, over the years, my family was exterminated by the Sun God. My first and second disciples were wiped out by him, but the third disciple I had, was so talented that he got out of my hands and his arrogance and greed led him to oppose me, to go to the central region, killing several of the spiritual Supremes that the sect had at that time before he left."
Shi Yue talked nonstop as she walked for a long while, and she told Tang Yin various secrets until she reached this point and stopped.
Tang Yin frowned and smiled, "Aren't you afraid I'll slip out of your hands just like that last disciple?" He asked smiling, and she looked at him but shook her head soon after.
"Your soul is purer than you think, Tang Yin. Besides, there's something in me that tells me you can never betray me." She said with a somewhat mysterious smile, leaving Tang Yin a bit stunned by this.
Still, he didn't give the matter much thought, and she spoke again.
"Tang Yin, my fear is not that you will betray me. My fear is that those guys won't let you mature. Now that they know who my disciple is, they will try to make your life miserable."
"Of course, this could have been avoided if I had not revealed you as my successor, after all, you are the only successor I have ever had in my entire life. Even my three past disciples were only disciples willing to become the Masters of this little Sect." She spoke.
Tang Yin felt stunned by that, 'Why did she give me the status of heir? Has she been able to see through me and know how special I am?' He thought somewhat doubtfully but thought that was likely.
His master is smarter and more capable than he thought and always surprised him.
"But in your case, you are different. You are not someone who can be tied to a region and I can't see what your future destiny is, but I am sure that if I allow you to live in this place as if it were your home, you will be able to mature faster. That is why I am granting you this whole region." She spoke.
But before he could answer her, she pulled out a small token and handed it to him.
"Therefore, have this." She spoke.
Tang Yin frowned at the sight of it.
He didn't recognize it and didn't understand what its value was.
But its mechanism...
Why was it so familiar to him?
"If we are ever attacked, they will attack us with all their might. Not only will a god come at that time, therefore, no matter what, you must leave the northwest region. Even if it ends up falling into traitorous hands, run west and don't look back.
Once you're there, this token will save your life and you can mature." She said and then took out another token, but this one was a spiritual token, which was Shi Yue's Spirit Ship Core Key.
"It's yours, with my spirit ship you will be able to get there before any God can reach you. You will understand later." She said and then sighed slightly, looking away from Tang Yin.
"Never forget your enemies, Tang Yin. And I'm sorry for making my enemies your enemies, even so, I'm sure you will live a long life." She spoke.
Tang Yin felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't reject any of the things she was giving him.
"Master, you seem to have seen through me very well." He said smiling and immediately grabbed her hand and turned her to stare at him.
This was the first time he had ever done this with his master, but he couldn't help it.
That back...
It gave him the feeling of intense loneliness and sadness, there was a strange aura about her that didn't make him feel at ease.
Therefore, he brought his hand to her face and stared at it caressing it a little.
"But you haven't seen through me entirely. I don't need this to run away. A God? Heh, I get an idea of the power of these so-called gods you fear, but what if I told you that I fear none of them? Your enemy is 5 Gods? Well, why don't you leave it up to me?
You have taught me many things and now I think I can understand them more deeply. Therefore, I no longer need to run away. I already did that a lot in the past." He said, leaving Shi Yue stunned who did not expect this...
