The Most Generous Master Ever

828 The Veterans Are Not Dead

“Master?”

Unexpectedly, the blood-colored skull’s words instantly pulled the two of them back to their senses. Looking at his red eyes and lonely expression, it was not difficult to see how much this name had a heavy impact on him.

Ye Qiu was at a loss. Although he was the disciple of Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, he knew nothing about his past.

After that trip, Ye Qiu never returned to the underwater immortal palace. It was as if he had completely disappeared from this world.

!!

Back then, Ye Qiu had stayed in the lower realm for a long time. He had also tried to find him and solve the many mysteries in his heart.

But for some reason, he seemed to deliberately avoid Ye Qiu. When Ye Qiu returned to the underwater immortal palace again, the forbidden area had already disappeared into the vast deep space.

“Heavens! Did you hear how I wailed countless times in suffering? The heavens pity me, the veterans will live forever! After so many years, I dragged this incomplete body and waited bitterly on the netherworld just to see Master again.”

They both fell silent at such heavy words. At this moment, they finally realized why he was here. He had waited countless days and nights just to see that majestic figure again, the faith that he had followed his entire life. ????n????????ℯ????d.＆nbsp;????o????

This was the only path to the Netherworld. He had been guarding this place for an unknown period of time.

Perhaps it was just as he said, veterans would live forever! This shell that had fought for a person and a faith all his life finally received something worth looking forward to.

Perhaps this was the best outcome for him.

Ye Qiu didn’t know the story between them, nor did he know what they had experienced. He didn’t know anything about the times they had fought side by side. However, Ye Qiu could see the loneliness in his eyes.

Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu was a mysterious man! He represented an immortal legend. It was also because of his charisma that after so many years, there were still loyal followers in this world who were silently waiting for him to return from the darkness.

Ye Qiu fell silent. Perhaps he might not have such a loyal follower in his life who would fight for his faith.

Would there be? Ye Qiu couldn’t help but ask himself. Perhaps there would, or perhaps there wouldn’t.

After an unknown period of time, the blood-colored skull finally recovered from its grief and indignation. Dragging his incomplete body, he stared fixedly at the young man in front of him. At that moment, he seemed to have seen the high-spirited figure back then.

“Haha! The heavens have treated me well. They actually let me hear news about Master again.”

At this point, his gaze was a little absent-minded. He looked at the yellow sand and the bones stranded in the desert. They were all his former comrades. They did not withstand the wind and frost of time and were finally buried here. Only he relied on his faith to hold on.

Perhaps it was just as he had said. The heavens had not mistreated him. After countless days and nights of waiting, such news finally came. The heavens pity him. In the end, the heavens were unwilling to let this veteran be buried here with regret.

After an unknown period of time, he finally calmed down. He looked at Ye Qiu and continued, “Child, you can tell me if Master is alright now.”

This was an incomparably heavy question. Ye Qiu didn’t want to answer because this was destined to make him suffer. However, he could not refuse to answer because he had already waited for countless years. If he did not tell him, it meant that he would eventually leave this world with regret.

This was even more unacceptable to him.

Ye Qiu was hesitating. His hands were trembling. Sensing his abnormality, Ming Yue suddenly grabbed his hand and encouraged him with her eyes. She was always such a silent person. Every time Ye Qiu needed her, she would appear. She never fought for anything. She only silently accompanied and silently encouraged Ye Qiu.

However, this companionship happened to be what Ye Qiu needed.

Ye Qiu was very grateful. He looked at her pure gaze and finally made up his mind. “My master is… imprisoned in a forbidden cage. It’s dark and there’s no light. He has already passed through countless years of torture and pain.”

When this news came out of Ye Qiu’s mouth, the veteran completely lost control of his emotions. He cried. He could no longer suppress the tears in the corners of his eyes. No one could understand his feelings.

They could not understand that the relationship they had fought side by side for so many years was a romance that belonged to them alone. As time passed, the brothers who had fought side by side in the past were all buried in this yellow sand.

The man who led them and faced the darkness could not escape this forbidden cage in the end.

This outcome was the most unacceptable to the veteran in front of him.

He cried! He cried his heart out. No one could understand the heaviness in his heart. Ye Qiu and Ming Yue could only watch silently.

Their emotions seemed to have reached a resonance. It was raining heavily on the other side of the Netherworld, and there seemed to be a cry coming from the sky.

Was the heavens crying?

Ming Yue looked up at the yellow sand. She did not understand what kind of feelings could make this world so tragic. Looking back at the man in front of her, she couldn’t help but ask herself if she would firmly choose to protect him in the future when she really faced a choice. She fell silent. She was not a person who was good at expressing herself. Many things were silently hidden in her heart.

The path to immortality was uncertain. After seeing many regrets, she seemed to have become sentimental.

Ye Qiu couldn’t bear to see this veteran in front of him so sad. He continued, “Back then, when my master taught me Dao techniques, he promised me that when I grew enough to face everything, it would be his return. This is an agreement between us. I believe he won’t go back on his word. I’ve also been working hard to grow into someone he can approve of.”

Hearing this, the veteran seemed to have seen a trace of hope from despair. The excitement at that moment could no longer be hidden. He suddenly rushed in front of Ye Qiu, wanting to grab him and interrogate him. However, when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his hands were already buried in the yellow sand.

He didn’t care and only asked, “Is what you said true?”

Ye Qiu didn’t answer. He only nodded and silently circulated the Dao technique in his body. The Dao of Blood slowly circulated and a dazzling blood-colored flower bloomed in Ye Qiu’s palm.

“My master guarded bitterly in the darkness for thousands of years and finally comprehended this supreme Great Dao. I am the first practitioner and the first person to walk this path. I don’t know what the outcome will be if I walk this path to the end, but I firmly believe that at the end of the darkness is definitely a bright path.”
