As the memories flooded through shabby man's, head more vividly. He slowly closed his eyes.
"It's a second chance, I can't waste it on you. You're unworthy" He said softly to himself as he slowly stepped backwards and then jumped off the mountain.
The leader of the Ghost sect Disciples gasped at the sight "He actually jumped!"
He rushed to the mountain edge to have a closer look but he couldn't see anyone flying down. "What's this? Where is he? How did he disappear?"
The leader looked around " Is he plotting something again?"
Then another group of ghost Sect Disciples arrived at the scene. the leader had signaled for backup, But it happened that they were too late.
"Young Master, What happened?" They asked as they approached him "Where's The Demon Patriarch? did you catch him?"
Their leader, Young Master Ryu, sighed. "It's too late to discuss now, I think he jumped off the cliff. We should go and quickly search the whole forest tonight! We must find him!"
He urged them as they all obeyed his words and made their way down the mountain.
The disciples of the Ghost sect had spent their time searching the whole of the forest and hoping to find him.
*****
With the chirping of the bird early the next morning, It was hard for Ares to catch some sleep.
And not to mention the place he was laying on. it was so uncomfortable that he was certain his whole body would ache when he gets up.
But the chirping of the bird was too much that he couldn't help but slowly flip open his eyes with a soft groan.
He was in the Forest. Ares could easily tell that as he sat up and looked around. There was natural trees and bushes at the scenery along with the flowers, He couldn't help but question himself.
"Why am I here?" He rubbed a hand against his eyes as he looked around. "In the forest?"
Ares Looked around himself. He was still in rags, messy long hair and blood stains which were all over him.
"Oh, I forgot that I was given another chance at life" He sighed as he looked at where he lay. It was on the bare group, close to a tall apple tree.
"Why am I even here? Did I jump and get myself here?" He Causally got up to his feet and looked around. "Maybe"
"Ah! Young Master you're finally awake!"
He Stiffened on hearing a sharp squeaky voice. "What's that?"
Following the trace of where this voice had come from, He had immediately turned. Only to see a red little fox running down the apple tree and approaching him.
Ares paused, looking at it "Who are you?" He was confused for awhile.
"Hey! Young Master don't tell me you forgot me like that after a thousand years?!" The fox sat before him and looked up at him.
Ares stared at him for awhile. He had to crack his brain cell for awhile before he remembered " oh! You're that fox pet which belonged to my Evil MC!" He snapped a finger With a smile.
The fox frowned as he stared at Ares "Young Master? what do mean Pet? I'm literally your only best friend! Not a pet!" It Snapped.
"Oh that's right " Ares nodded. He recalled that the Fox didn't like being referred to as a pet.And it was The Evil MC's only close one. So they can be seen as friends.
"But, why am I here?" Ares asked.
"Well Young Master! You can't imagine how happy I was when I felt your power roaming in this world again! I always Knew that you weren't dead for good!"
"And when I felt that energy last night, I had instantly journeyed my way here as soon as possible to see you first! But when I arrived, I met you jumping off the cliff so I quickly saved you"
"It happened that those righteous sects were After you so I used a spell and made you non-existent in their view.. That way those weak cultivators couldn't see you or even find you!"
Ares smiled" That's Smart of you..I guess I didn't create your character for nothing ".
"Huh? what do you mean?" Asked the Fox.
"Nothing " He said looking around. "I guess it's nice to be back "
"You've been sealed off for a thousand years now! How have you been? " The fox questioned as he shrugged.
"I don't know how I've been"
"Oh. Maybe you were numb? and you even took a new body! A blind beggar's body "The fox expressed
"Oh, Is that why I went blind for awhile there? and also lost my powers? why?" He stared at the smart fox for answers.
The fox served as a special adviser to the Evil MC as well and the fox was very smart as well! But Ares guessed the only thing this fox didn't know was that he had actually transmigrated in place of the Main character.
"You ended up in the body of a blind mortal. Clashing your almighty powerful soul power with that of an ordinary mortal. So of course there'll be a malfunction!"
