Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 246
Chapter 246 Life And Death Parting
“Senior, you will be fine!”
Ye Feng comforted the old man. His divine sense had already checked the old man’s injuries and found that it was very serious. Most of the Laws in his body were broken, and he could not lock his Essence. He was constantly losing his Essence. He estimated that he would not be able to last for a few days.
“What is your name!”
The old man took out a pill from his bosom and swallowed it. He felt that he had recovered quite a bit. At this moment, he sat up and asked Ye Feng.
“This brat is called Ye Feng, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy!”
Ye Feng had a good impression of the old man and answered truthfully.
“Senior, can you tell me what grievances you have with the old man in black?” Ye Feng continued.
“It’s a long story. Thirty years ago, when I passed by the Huai River, I encountered a man who raped and robbed me. He did all sorts of evil deeds. It just so happened that I met him forcing a young girl. I was furious and attacked him severely, causing him to be seriously injured. In the end, he died.”
The old man carried a trace of anger and did not regret what had happened back then.
“Is this man the son of the old man in black?”
Ye Feng probably knew.
‘”That’s right. After I killed his son, when I went on a trip back to the clan, I discovered that my three sons and daughters-in-law were all killed. Only when Ya’er was still in her infancy and placed in a bucket at the bottom of the well would she be spared a calamity.”
The old man said fiercely. The family had been annihilated. The old man was suddenly disheartened and tired of the world. He led his granddaughter around. The black-clothed old man knew that the murderer who killed his son was still alive. He kept searching for the old man’s whereabouts. After more than ten years, he finally found a trace of the old man’s whereabouts.
Ye Feng sighed. He was indignant at the actions of the black-clothed old man’s son. He did not regret that the old man’s family had been slaughtered by the slaughterers in front of him.
“Ye Feng, can you promise me one thing?”
After the old man finished speaking, he was powerless and asked Ye Feng.
“Senior, please tell me. As long as this junior is able to do so, I will definitely agree.”
Ye Feng agreed without hesitation. The old man could give up the pain of extermination and live in seclusion here with his granddaughter. It could be seen that he was very broad-minded.
“Help me take care of Ya’er. I’m going to die soon. What I’m most worried about is Ya’er.”
The old man was very sad. The one who was most reluctant to part with her was Ya’er. She had been childhood without a father or mother, and now even her closest grandfather was leaving her.
“Senior, don’t say that. You’ll be fine.”
Seeing the old man dying to leave him alone, Ye Feng felt very uncomfortable.
“Don’t comfort me. I know I can’t. I was struck by Old Demon Huang’s Heart Shattering Palm. Old Demon was also injured by me. He was crippled even if he didn’t die. It doesn’t matter if I die. The only worry is Ya’er. I hope you can agree to it.”
The old man grabbed Ye Feng’s hands and held them tightly.
‘”We only met by chance. Why do you trust me so much? Furthermore, Ya’er’s strength is not low. She is also an expert outside. There shouldn’t be any problem protecting herself. Furthermore, I’m going to Scorpion Palace. I don’t even know if I’ll survive or die.”
Ye Feng revealed an embarrassed expression.
‘”Don’t deceive yourself. First, I saw you from the first time I saw you. I saw sincerity in your eyes. Second, although Ya’er’s cultivation level is higher than yours, in a life and death duel, you can defeat her in less than a single move. Also, Ya’er is too young and innocent. In the outside world, I’m really worried that she will go astray.”
The old man was telling the truth,
Ye Feng nodded his head. Ya’er was too young. Entering the outside world, she must be very unaccustomed. Someone had to take care of her.
“But …”
Ye Feng looked at the old man with a complicated expression in his eyes.
“I beg you!”
After the old man finished speaking, he began to bow and actually asked Ye Feng.
“Senior, don’t do this. This junior will agree to it!”
Ye Feng had already said this, and there was no reason for him to refuse.
“Thank you so much. I can help you enter the Scorpion Palace. I’ll give you a favor.”
The old man saw that Ye Feng was in a dilemma, and he also saw Ye Feng’s determination to enter the Scorpion Palace. Once Ye Feng died, what ability would he use to protect Ya’er?
“Do you know where Scorpion Palace is?”
Ye Feng hurriedly asked.
“I know. Several decades ago, I had several encounters with the Scorpion Palace Master.”
The old man sighed again and sat up straight. After swallowing the pill, his expression became much better.
“Senior, can you tell me how to enter the Scorpion Palace?”
Ye Feng hurriedly asked.
“Ye Feng, I advise you to give up. Although I can let you enter the Scorpion Palace, I can’t guarantee that you will come out alive.”
The old man still hoped that Ye Feng would give up.
“Senior, there’s no need for you to persuade me. Even if the Scorpion Palace is a dragon’s pond and tiger’s den, I still have to go there. The water of the Earth Sea is related to the future fate of my clan. I don’t want my clan to be threatened at all.”
Ye Feng offended the Dongfang Clan and killed the four devils of the Xiangjiang River. This was only the first wave. Ye Feng had to be on guard. In addition, the four devils of the Xiangjiang River were members of the Evil Demon Sect. Ye Feng had to set up the clan firmly. Fortunately, he had returned in time to kill the four devils.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t persuade you anymore. The Scorpion Palace is 50,000 kilometers away from here. Without someone to guide you, even if you reach the Earth Realm, you won’t be able to find it.”
Seeing Ye Feng’s resolute expression, the old man no longer tried to persuade him.
In the next day, Ye Feng did not leave. He stayed here while Ya’er stayed by her grandfather’s side, and her tears never stopped.
“Ya’er, don’t you always yearn for the outside world? Follow Ye Feng in the future and ask him to take you out of here. If anything happens to you, you must listen to Ye Feng’s arrangements. You are not allowed to be willful. Do you understand?”
The old man said to Ya’er with a sincere tone.
“I don’t, I won’t leave. I want to be with Grandpa.”
Ya’er’s heart was torn apart. In a day, she saw her grandfather lose a lot of weight, his face getting paler and paler, and his vitality rapidly fading away.
“Silly child, you have also grown up. It is impossible for you to accompany Grandpa for the rest of your life. Be obedient and stop crying. Promise Grandpa that you will listen to Ye Feng’s words in the future.”
The old man wiped away Ya’er’s tears. He couldn’t bear it for a while. After more than ten years of dependence, they suddenly separated. It was very uncomfortable. Ye Feng stood at the side and watched everything quietly. He was infected by the two’s affection, and his eyes were a little wet.
“Ya’er, be good. Ya’er listens to Grandpa the most, but Ya’er, don’t leave Grandpa.”
Ya’er sobbed as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.
“Good child, Grandpa can’t accompany you for the rest of your life. Grandpa is tired and needs to rest for a period of time. When you miss Grandpa, come back and take a look.”
The old man actually wanted Ye Feng to leave with Ya’er right now. He didn’t want Ya’er to see the scene of life and death parting. He also left a thought for Ya’er to prove that his grandfather was still alive.
Ye Feng understood the old man’s difficulties very well. If Ya’er knew that her grandfather was dead, she would definitely stay here and refuse to leave. She stood up and held Ya’er’s hand, wanting to take Ya’er away.
“Ya’er, your grandfather is not feeling well. He needs to rest for a while. Big brother will take you out to see the outside world first. When your grandfather recovers, he will naturally come to us.”
Ye Feng said in a comforting tone.
“Really? Grandpa, will you really come looking for Ya’er?”
Ya’er actually believed it. She believed that her grandfather would definitely recover.
“Yes, Grandpa promises you. When Grandpa recovers, I will definitely go find you.”
The old man held Ya’er’s small hand and said solemnly.
“Ye Feng, I’ll leave Ya’er to you. No matter what, I must let Ya’er grow up happily!”
The old man let go of Ya’er’s small hand and instructed Ye Feng.
“Senior, don’t worry. As long as I, Ye Feng, am still alive, I will never let Ya’er suffer any harm.”
Ye Feng’s words came from the bottom of his heart, and there was absolutely no trace of agreement in his tone.
“I believe you. From the first time I saw you, I believed you. In the future, your achievements will definitely be higher than mine. Ya’er, please.”
At his realm, he could already see through some destiny. Otherwise, he would entrust Ya’er to Ye Feng without meeting him.
“This junior will definitely do my best!”
“This is a token to enter the Scorpion Palace. I met the Scorpion Palace Master a few times back. There were some things that happened. You don’t need to know the specifics. If he sees this jade token, he will definitely let you in. As for whether you can come out alive or not, I don’t dare guarantee that you will do it yourself.”
The old man took out a jade token from his bosom. Ye Feng took it and found that there was a trace of cold air on it. The jade token was broken. Only half of it was broken. The other half had gone somewhere.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Ye Feng said gratefully. If he hadn’t met them and given Ye Feng another year, he probably wouldn’t have been able to find the entrance to the Scorpion Palace.
Never would he have imagined that the entrance to the Scorpion Palace would no longer be on the ground, and in the void, this was what the old man had told Ye Feng.
“Alright, you guys leave quickly. I need to rest for a while!”
The old man waved his hand and told Ye Feng to leave this place quickly.
“Senior, take care!”
Ye Feng clasped his fist. Although he knew that the old man would soon be dead, Ye Feng still acted so that Ya’er would not suspect him.
“Grandfather, Ya’er is waiting for you to find me.”
Ya’er forced a smile, her tears still hanging on her long eyelashes.
“Yes, Grandpa will definitely go back to find you. Don’t worry, don’t forget to cultivate in the future.”
The old man was reluctant to part with Ya’er, his eyes filled with reluctance as he watched Ya’er disappear from the door.
The moment Ya’er turned around, tears fell from Ya’er’s face like a dam that had collapsed.
After the two of them left the cave, Ye Feng slowly closed the boulder. The sky had already cleared up, and there were no clouds within ten thousand kilometers.
“Big brother, is my grandfather going to die?”
Ya’er suddenly burst into tears. Just now, she had been pretending and knew that her grandfather was about to die. She was afraid that she would be sad, so she let her leave.
“No, your grandfather won’t die. He’s just tired and needs a rest.”
Ye Feng felt very painful in his heart. Seeing Ya’er’s painful appearance, Ye Feng picked her up and rushed into the distance.
For a day, Ya’er didn’t say anything. She was silent. The outside world actually didn’t attract him at all. Sometimes, when she remembered, her tears would still fall down her cheeks.
Ye Feng sighed, picked up the roasted beast meat and gave it to Ya’er.
“Ya’er, don’t be sad. It’s normal for people to die of illness and old age. No one can avoid this. Your grandfather is strong and will definitely recover. Don’t worry.”
Ye Feng comforted.
“Big brother, stop comforting me. I know that you are all doing this for my own good.”
Ya’er put away her sadness and diluted her emotions in a day.
