The very next day, as usual, Alyssa turned up right outside of the Hong clan, much to everyone's displeasure.
" how dare you look at me like that, Die" Alyssa then shot a concentrated beam of fire at the two guards that were patrolling the clan.
The guards immediately panicked, there was no way for them to be able to withstand an attack at the second realm, their fate was sealed the moment they 'looked' at her.
" How dare those stupid men look at me like that, they deserved it" Alyssa thought.
That was ironic because the two guards didn't even notice her presence until she shouted in her obnoxiously loud and high pitched voice.
I've had enough of The Hong clans shenanigans, they have disregarded my status and disrespected me for too long.
Alyssa then gathered her realm 2 purity qi in her vocal cords before booming out with a even louder voice " Hong clan head, get the hell over here or I'll raise your clan to the ground.
" you're quite presumptuous for someone who's not even strong enough to beat one of our elders" The clan head spoke with authority to Alyssa, all of the elders from the clan surrounded her.
" How dare you act so arrogant in front of me, do you know who I am?" Alyssa spoke
proudly.
" just because you have an elder from the Wang clan backing you doesn't mean you can waltz around wherever you like and annoy everyone" The clan head said to Alyssa angrily.
Then within seconds, Alyssa was surrounded by elders. " did your father not tell you than now we have his permission to throw you out"
The clan head chuckled
" What, no how dare you, You're just the same as your blood sucking commoner wife, she died a useless death, with a useless husband and I hope you go to hell together with your trashy wife!" Alyssa said whilst giving the clan head a death stare.
Meanwhile the clan head completely froze, his eyes became hollow as his consciousness started to fade, he was on the brink of insanity already and now that Alyssa had insulted his wife whom he still loved, he simply couldn't retain rationality.
His entire world was spinning, his anger overwhelmed him.
He had spent years upon years with his wife, upon her death he was heartbroken, whilst from the outside it may have looked like he had gotten over it, he didn't, he would never get over it.
He dashed towards the terrified Alyssa, she was petrified by the clan heads emotionless stare, it was like he was looking at somthing dead.
She turned to run immediately, but how could she run from the clan head, within seconds, her head went flying off her body.
She was gone, dead forever.
" W- what have I done" the clan head stammered as he gazed at his hands, he had doomed their clan to death, the Wang clan was surely going to get revenge.
" hide her corpse, tell everyone to shut the hell up" the clan head ordered all of the elders.
" I knew this would happen" The grand elder voiced his thoughts out loud.
" If the Wang clan doesn't find out, we will live, move all of our main clan members away, if the wang clan comes, I will face them alone." the clan head announced.
With extreme haste, the elders evacuated all of the main clan members out secretly. This whole process took 3 hours, meanwhile the clan head stood reminiscing about his life, and how things went wrong.
" Dad, are you okay?" came a voice from beside the clan head.
" not now Richie, go back and cultivate, if you manage to reach the 6th sub realm by next year, I'll give you a very special present" Richie's father told Richie.
After Richie left, his father pulled out a picture from his pocket, it was barely intact, rotting all around, it depicted Richie's father with his mother, back when they were younger, sitting on the grass, with a beautiful shining sun behind them.
" I'm sorry I couldn't protect you" Mark said as tears started to form in his eyes.
" Sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry, maybe in the next life" tears were streaming down Mark's eyes, the nearby area was devoid of life after Alyssa died.
" Why, why, WHY" Mark screamed in fury, cursing the world and everything in it, he banged his fists against the withered grass of the Hong clan, his home, he loved it, he wouldn't let the Wang clan destroy it, not after what they had done.
Minutes went by, Mark had his head on the floor, everything was gone, the only thing left was his son. Later on, he would teach his son various survival lessons, to help him when he needed it most.
However unbeknownst to him, somthing was watching, it was listening to his thoughts and feelings.
It listened to Mark's emotions, It felt his pain, it mourned. What was listening? The origin was listening.
Rain poured down heavily that day, it later on became known as 'the great flood' Rain poured relentlessly everywhere, Not just in the Xinjiang Empire, The entire planet was bombarded by rain that day. trillions died that day.
The entire planet felt Mark's sadness, even the most cheerful people were down on that day.
Though Mark still had his head rooted to the floor.
Regret
Maybe in the next life
The third life.
Perhaps.
