Chapter 127 127: Seeing The World For What It Is



His body dropped to his knees unwillingly with such force that even his knees cracked as a crater developed under his feet. 

At the same time, footsteps resounded in the distance. A young man with emotionless cold eyes had arrived. 

Xu Shan finally arrived at the place. With a single wave of his hand, the flames stopped and Duan Jin dropped to his knees. 

He stepped closer to the lifeless body on the ground, revealing a frown. 

Duan Jin tried speaking to explain his side. However, to his surprise, he found out that he couldn't even open his mouth! It was as if there was a strange power stopping him from speaking. 

In disbelief, he looked at Xu Shan. His pupils trembled! There was only one person who could do something like this! His heart was filled with dread as he realized that it was Xu Shan who made him kill Duan Mu's mother!

While Duan Jin was stunned with what he thought, Xu Shan was also internally surprised that even after all this, Duan Mu hadn't gone crazy, which was against his expectations. It was as if the young man had lost his sense of self, where he didn't even want to believe that it actually happened. 

He glanced at Duan Mu and everyone else in that place. Even the guests were trembling under his gaze, even though they had nothing to do with this matter. 

However, to their surprise, Xu Shan didn't do anything. He just turned around, and walked closer to Duan Mu. 

"I won't interfere in your matter. If you want revenge, do it yourself." As he spoke, he transferred some of his aura inside the Bracelet that he had given to Duan Mu. 

The Bracelet was a cursed item, yet only a few people knew about its existence. The Bracelet had many uses. However, its most important use was to amplify the negative emotions of a person, as soon as even the slightest of Celestial Energy was used on it. 

"If you think about having your revenge, then do it. But if you don't want to, then leave with me right away."

Xu Shan also brought out a treasure Sword that he had taken from the Sky Dynasty treasury. 

He turned the blade of the Sword toward the ground, and stabbed it. Leaving the sword near Duan Mu's feet, Xu Shan walked away. 

If the young man still couldn't do it, then Xu Shan knew that he was going to be really disappointed by his performance. 

After leaving the sword, Xu Shan left... However, he didn't go too far, as if he was waiting for a nice show to commence. 

The Duan Clan Patriarch kept trying to speak while looking toward his father with a pleading gaze, hoping that he'll notice the abnormality. 

Fortunately, it worked as well. The Duan Clan Ancestor did notice something strange. Why wasn't his son speaking anything? 

However, before he could try asking his son why he did it, he felt a dark aura... An aura that he never sensed before!

The Sky was covered in clouds as the thundering roars intensified in the sky, as if Heaven was grieving. 

As Xu Shan sat on a throne in the distance, at a safe distance away from everyone else, he felt a water droplet fall over his head. However, his face had a calm smile now, since he also sensed that dark aura. 

"Let's see what you're capable of, my little toy." He snapped his fingers, casting a barrier above his head which protected him from the rain. 

The other Clan's members also stepped back, signifying that they had nothing to do with the Duan Clan. 

Xu Shan's words had already convinced them that he didn't want anything to do with the Duan Clan. 

They also stepped back, abandoning the Duan Clan. Only the Duan Clan Members were left there. 

Duan Clan Ancestor looked in the direction where he sensed that dark aura. He could only see Duan Mu there. 

The young man who previously didn't even have the slightest of aura was looking strange. Something appeared different about him as he looked at the body of his mother in the distance. 

Duan Mu's eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion as he watched his mother's body. It was as if he was finally coming to terms with the fact that this wasn't a dream. This was the reality... He wasn't hallucinating. 

Many negative thoughts filled up his head as tears kept trickling down his cheeks. It was as if his heart was slowly dying. 

The world was unfair... Everything was unfair! 

Multiple memories of his childhood flashed before his eyes. No matter what he went through, his mother was always there for him. She was the only solace he had in this dark world who kept him from breaking, no matter what the circumstances were. However, now... Even she was taken by the cruel fate!

Slowly, his multiple thoughts converged into only a single thought! Kill!

He reached out his hand, grabbing the hilt of the sword before him. He pulled out the Sword. 

The strange pendant around his neck also started shining brightly, as if reacting to his strong emotions. 

"Wait!" The Duan Clan Ancestor had a bad feeling as he watched Xu Shan stepping closer to his son. 

He stepped in the middle, to stop Xu Shan. "I'm sure my son can't be stupid enough to kill your mother! There must be something behind it! Let me talk to him! Calm your anger, young man! We are all your family! Think about your family!"

"Did you think about my family?" Duan Mu's cold response came, as if he had finally broken off all his shackles of attachment. The only link between him and the clan was his mother. 

As for why his mother was killed, he already had a reason! It was because the Duan Clan Patriarch suspected his hand behind his son's death. But since he couldn't harm him, he targeted his mother!

"Finally, you're starting to see the world for what it is..." Xu Shan rested one leg over the other, as he watched with great interest. 

At the same time, he knew that there was a large difference in strength between the two sides. Even with his cheat, Duan Mu was no match for them, so Xu Shan proved a little more help.
