Ye Tian Yun closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat.
'Shit… it was all because of me…'
A huge wave of guilt suddenly overwhelmed him.
The Heavenly Oracle Sect came from Qin Wentian.
But Qin Wentian was now dead.
And the person who killed him was Ye Tian Yun.
'Damn it…'
Instead of saving Zheng Clan, Ye Tian Yun triggered their demise.
'What in the world have I done…'
Ye Tian Yun regretted his decision to kill Qin Wentian.
'Even if Qin Wentian had survived and told the Heavenly Oracle Sect about everything, at least the Zheng Clan wouldn't have to die….'
"Some things are… unavoidable…."
A voice replied in his consciousness.
It was Wang Yao.
"Ye Tian Yun, you don't have to blame yourself for this. This is a cultivation world. Life and death are but a part of one's daily life."
"You killed Qin Wentian, and that was the right thing to do. You killed him because you had to. Whatever happened to the Zheng Clan was not your fault. The reason all this happened is that the Heavenly Oracle Sect decided to destroy the Zheng Clan as an excuse."
"Everyone in the Silver Mist City had seen the Sword Domain. This meant that there was a Sword Saint involved in this."
"Now, how could a clan with peak cultivators being in the Core Formation Realm know who that Sword Saint was?"
"The people from the Heavenly Oracle Sect were just looking for someone to release their frustration. Zheng CLan became the unfortunate target."
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and closed Wang Yao in his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes and stared in front of him at Zheng Xiang.
The latter was distraught and had lost the emotions in his eyes.
'What have I done….'
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and rubbed his face.
The three remained silent for a long time, with Bai Qing'er occasionally patting on Zheng Xiang.
After about what seemed to be an hour, Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zheng, I don't know what to say… but… I know who could have killed Qin Wentian."
"Hm?" Zheng Xiang raised his head, "Who?"
"It was a friend," Ye Tian Yun lied, "If you blame him, I can bring him to you."
"No," Zheng Xiang shook his head, "Why should I blame him? It was the Heavenly Oracle Sect who should be blamed. My father was a middle-aged man who had experienced the cultivation world for almost his whole life. And he had been the Clan Leader for almost two decades. How could he not understand the severity of the situation when the Heavenly Oracle Sect knocked on the door?"
"He definitely did not act rashly. He knew when to be humble. Still, those bastards chose to skin him alive and make him watch the death of everyone in my clan… how could I blame someone else for this?"
"It was the Heavenly Oracle Sect."
Ye Tian Yun lowered his gaze and stared at the floor.
After a minute of silence, Ye Tian Yun asked, "Zheng Xiang, do you wish to get revenge?"
Zheng Xiang smiled, "What kind of question is this, Brother Fang? Do you think I will be able to forget what those people did to me? Why do you think I came to you?"
Ye Tian Yun raised his head and looked directly at Zheng Xiang, "Alright. I will give you a chance to get your revenge."
Zheng Xiang smiled, "there is no free food in this world, Brother Fang. I will owe you everything if you can help me destroy the Heavenly Oracle Sect."
Ye Tian YUn smiled.
Just then, a green light blinked above Zheng Xiang.
Ye Tian Yun was surprised with an unexpected prompt that appeared in front of him.
[Zheng Xiang. 6 Star Favourabiulity. Feels indebted to you, will not betray you.](Fang Chen)
'Not many details in this one….'
Ye Tian Yun stared into Zheng Xiang's eyes for a moment and replied, "Brother Zheng, we will get to the Heavenly Oracle Sect. But it might take a few years. Currently, you don't even qualify to breathe in the Middle Heavens, and your enemy is one of the most powerful sects of Middle Heavens."
Zheng Xiang nodded his head, "Brother Fang, the axe might forget, but the tree will always remember. I understand that I am too weak right now, but I will persevere and persist."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright then. I will give you a chance. It will depend on you how far you are willing to go."
Zheng Xiang nodded while clenching his fists and jaw.
"Wait."
Bai Qing'er's voice resounded.
"What do you mean, Brother Fang?" She asked, "I know you're the Young Master of Fang Clan, and the Fang Clan is one of the most powerful clans of the Xin Kingdom. But they are nothing when compared to the enemy. How will we succeed?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Don't worry too much. And I never said I was relying on Fang Clan regarding my claim. I was relying on my own."
Both Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er were confused by this.
"Brother Fang…" Zheng Xiang pursed his lips and said, "Why are you burdening yourself? I will be honest, the reason why I came here was because of your backing. You gave me those resources, and I was able to increase my cultivation."
"I know I am selfish here, but Brother Fang, I don't want to burden you. I thought… Fang Clan might have some extra resources to help me."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Don't worry. I never thought of you as someone selfish. And I remember what you told me about your bloodline, but I still called you here before you even knew about the Zheng Clan's fate."
"You would have come to me anyway, and now you have reason and a goal."
"Zheng Xiang, I will help you on your path to avenge your clan, but when the time comes, I hope you're there for me."
Zheng Xiang took a deep breath and replied, "Brother Fang, trust me, even if we are the only two in the whole world and I have to kill you to survive, I will still not betray" ou."
