Shallot walked a few more steps seeing Chen Kai coldly, Chen Kai couldn't do anything more than grit his teeth, he was feeling very nervous and even was sweating then he said " W-Why? Why does it matter to you if I die? You don't gain anything from keeping me alive, do you? "
Shallot frowns and stops then he turns around to face the empire and says " Look at all of them there, they are nothing more than insects, and if I wanted... " He raises his left hand surrounded by a yellow fire and points it at the Empire as he says " I could exterminate every one of them with just one simple attack, there won't be any resistance, no panic, just death, in a matter of seconds, it doesn't matter how strong they think they are, they won't be able to save themselves from me "
Chen Kai sees Shallot in horror as he thinks ' He is insane! ' Then Shallot turns to see him and says " You understand my point? " But Chen Kai doesn't say anything, so Shallot continues " Your life is on the line every day, especially, if you are weak, for me, they are weak, I could decide if they live or die, what about you? You will be like them, you will let someone decide if you live or die, or you will take control of your life and not let anyone decide for you "
" I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with this " Chen Kai responded with a nervous expression
Shallot frowns and says " You idiot, your fate has been decided by others from the start, your parents left you, that stupid brat cripple you and let you die in your family's hands, isn't she? "
" ... " Chen Kai bits his lower lip and bowed his head in shame, then Shallot continues " I will tell you the truth, your so precious bratty girl has been married for more than two years and her engagement with him started even before she crippled you, why do you think she lost all the interest she had in you? "
" ...! " Chen Kai turned pale hearing that as his heart ached at the painful truth
" Now, your parents, well... they are alive " Shallot said making Chen Kai shiver and whisper " What...? "
Then Shallot with a mocking voice said " Oh yes, they are alive, they even have another child now, he must be around 14 or 15 years old by now, he has lived the life that you wanted, he plays and smiles while he receives the love and cares from your parents every day, all since the day he was born "
" ... " Chen Kai with a frozen shocked expression begins to cry again, he isn't moving an inch, he is just crying without making any sound
Shallot makes a calm expression and continues " They haven't come back yet, which only means that you are not as important as their new son, so why they should have to hurry to come for you? Someone that has been born a cripple, why bother to waste their love on someone like you, who was destined to die anyway "
" .... " And with that, Chen Kai bowed his head as countless tears fell from his face Shallot's eyes and hair turned back to normal as he said in a cold voice " Now do you understand? For all those you care about without a reason, you are trash, disposable, something that isn't even worth mentioning or remembering, so, why do you want to take your life because of them? "
Shallot kneels in front of Chen Kai and touches his left shoulder then he says " Listen, you can only rely on yourself, you are the only thing you can't let down "
Chen Kai turns to see him with a lifeless expression and Shallot continues " You asked me what do I gain from this? I don't gain anything "
Chen Kai looked slightly confused and then Shallot made a serious face and said " We both were left by our parents, they left me to my clan to be used as a cauldron for the patriarch's sons, draining my cultivation day after day, in the most painful way possible until my spiritual veins couldn't endure it anymore and when they were about to kill me because I wasn't more useful, that bastard Fannel appeared "
Then Shallot stands and turns around saying " This is the last time I will try to help you, but if you want to kill yourself fine do it, but don't expect anyone to feel a slight bit of pity for you " Then he leaves the place flying leaving Chen Kai lying on the ground with an empty expression
A few minutes passed, and Chen Kai was still sitting on the ground with a grim expression and his face covered with dried tears, then he began to clench his fists and his grim expression changed to a cold one
-----------------------------------------------------------
A few seconds later
Shallot was flying toward the Empire after he talked with Chen Kai and just when he was about to arrive *SWOOSH* someone appeared in front of him making him stop
" Hmm?! " Shallot was slightly surprised by it, but then he frowned when he saw the one blocking his way. It was Fannel who had two fingers touching his forehead and was seeing Shallot with a serious expression
Fannel puts down his hand and says to Shallot " What the hell are you doing? You know that all of us are forbidden to use any transformation in the Lower Realm until the chosen ones have reached the goal "
" TCH! " Shallot clicks his tongue with annoyance and says " I didn't transform, old man, I just showed him a glimpse of the transformation, that's all, besides, nothing will happen "
Fannel frowns angrily and says " Nothing? You fool! You know exactly what will happen, you want to be judged? Do you seriously want to die? "
" Hmph, leave me alone old man, I don't care if he comes, instead, let him come, I wanted to challenge him anyway, so the sooner, the better " Shallot makes a cold smirk seeing Fannel
Fannel grits his teeth and yells " Do you seriously think that you can beat him?! I can't even scratch him with my full strength! Let alone you who are weaker than me! "
Shallot frowns and clenches his teeth. Fannel calms down and says coldly " I don't care what you do after this ends, you can go to challenge him If you are really that stupid, but I won't let you put in risk the boys' lives at for your reckless behavior, you know very well that the moment he appears he will judge everyone no matter who they are, and if the boys don't fill his expectations he will kill them without a second thought " Then he takes out a small bag and throws it to shallot to say " Those are for the boys gave them when you see them "
" TCH! " Shallot grabs the bag as he clicks his tongue in annoyance then passes beside Fannel who says to him " If you do it again you won't let me have any other choice than to kill you, do you understand? " Shallot stops for a second, and then he flew towards the empire again
*SIGHS* Fannel sighed and thought ' Crazy brat just let's hope he doesn't do it again, at least until they reach the target ' Then Fannel turned to see the forest where Chen Kai still was ' Whatever the reason was for using the transformation had to do with him ' Then he puts two fingers in his forehead and *SWOOSH* he disappeared
-------------------------------------------------------
In the outside of the side sect
The white tiger was looking at the sky with narrowing eyes ' There haven't been any more descends, I wonder how they can vanish their presences so fast? It seems that they have learned more than just how to open the gate to the Lower Realms without consequences, but who are they? '
Then from the forest, he saw a man walking in his direction and when he saw who he was he said " What are you doing here, brat? You have to be near your assigned"
The man looked young around Shallot's age he was quite tall (around1.85m(6.0ft)) and had short spiky black hair and mismatched eyes, one yellow and one onyx
The man smiles at the White Tiger's words and sits near him then he says " They are dead "
The white tiger sees him with narrowed eyes and says " I suspected that but, how? "
The man turned to see him but when he was about to speak *SWOOSH* Fannel appeared near them
Fannel seeing the young man there frowns and says " Courne? It seems that both of them died, how it happened "
Courne stands and with a smiling yet furious expression he says " Both of them died against the same opponent, even with their Kaio-ken boosting their strength 10 times couldn't win, stupid weak brats "
The white tiger and Fannel saw him with serious expressions then both of them turned to see each other Fannel asked Courne " The one who killed them, was from this realm, right? "
Courne sees him with a confused expression and says " That should be obvious, if not I would have killed that brat even before he could even start fighting "
" Brat? " Asked the white tiger with a confused voice
Courne smiles coldly and says " Yes, the brat could be only 20 years old but his strength was good and that cultivation technique he has worked almost as the Kaio-ken, I don't know who he is but when he ascends I will kill him "
Fannel frowns and thinks ' There is a young cultivator that strong? Besides he has a cultivation technique that allows him to multiply his strength? '
The white tiger turns to see Fannel and says " If what this brat said is true he could be one of those who had descended but such a display of power wouldn't have passed unnoticed to us "
Fannel nods and says " Indeed, the difference in the energy that cultivators transmit between the realms is too obvious, really interesting that guy is if I have to say "
Courne looks at them in confusion and thinks ' What are they talking about? Someone besides us has descended? '
