Ji Dong stood to the side and calmly watched. He didn't stop Yun Tian Ji. The reason why he chose to intervene was because of the unyielding look in Yun Tian Ji's eyes when he was surrounded by the four youths. At this moment, this Ninth Water youth was brimming with a wild aura. Every punch he threw was filled with endless hatred. His eyes had even turned blood red.
Yun Tian Ji seemed to not hear his voice as he continued to crazily beat the corpse. His fists were already very slow and not as powerful as before. His tattered clothes were soaked in sweat, but he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Can whipping a corpse get rid of the pain in your heart? Although I don't know what happened to you, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that you will go crazy from hysteria before you can even get your revenge, "Ji Dong said indifferently.
Yun Tian Ji's fist that was about to fall again finally stopped in the air. His fist was already stained with blood.
However, Ji Dong didn't think that he was dirty. He took a step forward and grabbed Yun Tian Ji's hand that was raised in the air. He pulled Yun Tian Ji's body up. At the same time, he pressed his left hand and a strong third flame erupted. The corpse that had already been beaten beyond recognition was thoroughly burned into charcoal.
Ji Dong stuffed a level two Ninth Water Crystal Core into Yun Tian Ji's trembling hand. He pulled Yun Tian Ji to the side of the road and had him sit down. He didn't ask anything and only threw him a water pouch as well as the piece of cured meat that he had originally intended for Huo 'er.
Yun Tian Ji raised his head and glanced at Ji Dong. His eyes were still red and his breathing was even more intense. He held the level two Crystal Core in one hand and absorbed the magical power within it. His other hand grabbed the water pouch and gulped down large mouthfuls of water.
Ji Dong walked until he was five meters away from Yun Tian Ji and sat down. He closed his eyes and rested. He didn't say anything as he quietly waited.
Level two Magical Power was consumed quickly and recovered just as quickly. It didn't take long before Yun Tian Ji's Magical Power was basically restored. The cured meat and water were also eaten. The red in his eyes also slowly faded. He looked at the charcoal on the road in a daze.
The two of them just sat there. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ji Dong opened his eyes. He slowly stood up and asked Yun Tian Ji, "Where is the nearest city? How far is it? "
The confusion in Yun Tian Ji's eyes disappeared, and they became ice-cold again. He said, "This is what you wanted to ask me?" He finally spoke. His voice was very unique. It was slightly hoarse, but it was also filled with coldness.
Ji Dong glanced at him and said, "Then what do you want me to ask?"
Yun Tian Ji stood up, and tossed the water bag in his hand to Ji Dong. He said, "If you are willing to take me to take revenge, then my life will be yours in the future."
Ji Dong smiled faintly and said, "How do you know that I have the ability to avenge you? I don't think your enemies are just the two champions. "
Yun Tian Ji suddenly turned around and looked at Hyōhime. He said, "Although the three champions are strong, you are only level 32. Yet, you suppressed the four of them to the point that they couldn't fight back. If I still couldn't see that you are different, then I wouldn't be known as the Tianji Candidate of Tianji City."
Ji Dong looked at him with interest. He said, "Is your life very valuable? I don't think it is of any use to me. "
Yun Tian Ji said coldly, "Do you know what Tianji is?"
Ji Dong shook his head.
Yun Tianji said, "The so-called Tianji refers to prophecy. Only the people who live in Tianji City have such an ability. Every generation of Tianji City's City Lord has the title of Duke. In such a small city, this is almost unimaginable. The City Lord of Tianji City is different from other cities. It is not a hereditary title. Instead, it is a selection to choose the person who can inherit the Tianji ability."
Ji Dong smiled faintly and said, "Then you are a candidate for the Tianji City Lord?"
Yun Tian Ji nodded and said, "Yes, I am one of the candidates for the Tianji City Lord. If you help me avenge me, I will give up the chance to choose Tianji and go with you. No matter what you want me to do, I will agree."
Ji Dong said, "I don't believe in prophecy. You have to convince me first."
Yun Tian Ji looked at Ji Dong. His eyes suddenly became clear. Compared to the previous red eyes that were because of anger and resentment, he seemed to be a different person now. His eyes shone with a brilliance that was as bright as diamonds. The light in his eyes flickered continuously, as if it was changing colors. Ji Dong's willpower could definitely be considered firm. However, when he looked at Yun Tian Ji's eyes, he still felt dazzled. In the depths of Yun Tian Ji's eyes, he could even see a kind of vicissitude.
After a long time, Yun Tian Ji's eyes dimmed. He looked at Ji Dong. There was a strange look in his eyes. He said, "I didn't see wrong. You are indeed extraordinary. I have been running in this direction because I have predicted that a benefactor who can help me avenge will appear in this direction. Now I can be sure that you are this benefactor, Mr. Fugitive."
Ji Dong's heart trembled slightly. He said, "What did you see?"
"I saw Ao An. I saw your future blooming with blood. I saw the aura of death. I also saw the terror of your future. Unfortunately, I am still not Tianji. I can't see clearly. The only thing I can be sure of is that you are a fugitive."
Ji Dong carefully looked at Yun Tian Ji's eyes that had already returned to normal. He said, "Very good. You have already convinced me. You have made me curious about you. However, you still have to convince my two Sovereigns. In this life, there are two Sovereigns in charge of my life. One is morality, the other is conscience. They will control all my thoughts. If I break through their shackles, I will no longer be a person. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yun Tian Ji's voice became cold again. He said, "If everyone had the shackles of these two Sovereigns, then you wouldn't have met me today."
"I lived in a commoner's family in Tianji City, not far from here. When I was very young, my parents passed away one after another. It was my older sister, who was five years older than me, who brought me up. When I was young, my older sister did odd jobs for a noble family so that I could eat my fill. At that time, she was only ten years old, but she was able to support our small but warm family. Everything she did was for me. Girls of the same age as her all had a pair of delicate hands. But my older sister's hands were very rough. Even in the cold winter, she still had to wash clothes for people, just so that I could eat my fill and wear my warm clothes. When I was ten years old, my older sister used all the savings she had accumulated over the years to send me to a Magician's Academy to have my magical power tested. She knew that becoming a Yin And Yang Magician was the only chance for me to change my fate. Can you imagine how much my older sister had sacrificed in order to save up that money? From the time I could remember, my older sister's clothes never had less than five patches."
At this point, the coldness in Yun Tian Ji's eyes had completely disappeared. All that was left was a thick layer of mist. Ji Dong's emotions had also entered the story along with his hoarse voice. Ji Dong didn't interrupt him and listened quietly.
"I know my sister's pain, but I also know her hopes. I didn't let my sister down. During the innate aptitude test, I was tested to have ninety percent Yang Water. After the interview, all the tuition fees were waived. All the expenses were covered by the academy. From then on, my sister's life became a little more comfortable. Finally, she didn't have to worry about me eating my fill and wearing my warm clothes anymore."
"A few years passed. In the process of studying at the academy, I only had one thought in my heart. That was to let my sister live a good life, a happy life. So, I trained hard day and night. When I was thirteen, I successfully condensed the Yin Yang Crown. When I was fifteen, I broke through to the Double Crown, becoming the youngest Double Crown Magician in the history of our academy. Furthermore, I was chosen by the City Lord of Tianji City as a candidate for a competition to determine whether I could become the next Tianji. The City Lord opened the Eye of Tianji for me, giving me the ability to see the future. He also told me that as long as I trained hard and raised my cultivation, the Eye of Tianji would evolve on its own. I was the youngest of all the Tianji candidates, but I had the highest magic power. For this, the advanced academy that I had just entered not long ago gave me ten gold coins. I still remember how happy my sister was when she received these ten gold coins."
Yun Tian Ji's eyes became much gentler, as if he was recalling the happy life he had with his sister in the past.
"Everything went according to my plan. I wanted to become stronger and richer. My sister had worked hard for me for so many years. It was time for me to repay her. I wanted to let my sister live the life of those noble ladies. But, just as I was working hard, a few days ago, my dream was shattered."
At this point, Yun Tian Ji's fists suddenly clenched tightly. His eyes were filled with hatred. Even Ji Dong couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw it.
"The person I killed just now was called Cai Gu. He even taught me a few basic skills. It was too difficult for commoner students like us to learn skills. I treated him like an older brother. But who knew that this guy with a human face and a beast's heart … Sister, it was me who harmed you. It was me who brought this guy home. Otherwise, you wouldn't have died. It was me who harmed you!"
At this point, Yun Tian Ji was already sobbing uncontrollably. His body was trembling, and a strong hatred seemed to surround his body with a layer of extremely cold air. His eyes, which had already returned to normal, had turned red again. "I invited Cai Lou home as a guest.
He saw my sister. Although she had to work hard every day to make a living, she was still extremely beautiful. At that time, Cai Lou didn't show anything, and I still treated him as a good friend. But who would have thought that two days later, while I was in class, he would bring the second son of the Tianji City's number one noble family, Viscount Shi, to our house. That bastard was called Shi Xiao Lei, and he was in the same school as us. He was famous for being pompous. He actually raped my sister. When I returned home, I only saw my sister sitting on the bed with her clothes in a mess, gasping for air. No matter how much I asked, my sister refused to tell me what was going on. Only later did I understand that she was afraid that I would be hurt by those people. "
"The next morning, when I finished my cultivation as usual, I saw that the table was still the same as before, with the breakfast that my sister had made for me. After eating breakfast, I was about to ask my sister about what happened the day before, but what I saw was my sister's corpse. She had already hanged herself, and didn't even leave a single word."
His lips trembled, and he had already bitten them until they bled, but he didn't even realize it. He said, "After this matter, I was greatly shocked, and madly investigated what happened that day. It was a neighbor who told me that he had seen Shi Xiao Lei and Cai Lou go to my house, and I went to the academy to find Shi Xiao Lei, pretending to be servile, but that bastard Shi Xiao Lei actually proudly told me that my sister's taste was not bad, and said that he would definitely take care of me in the future. I didn't kill him, for such a bastard, killing him would be too easy on him, how could his body, which had already been hollowed out by wine and women, be my opponent, I castrated this bastard, and even cut off the tendons of his hands and feet. You saw what happened after that, Shi Xiao Lei's brother, Shi Da Lei, brought people to kill me."
Ji Dong said, "Weren't you chosen by Tianji City's Tianji Lord? Why didn't you ask him for help? "
Yun Tian Ji laughed coldly, and said, "Do you think it is so easy to see the Tianji? The Tianji has the ability to predict the future. As the chosen one, it is impossible for him not to predict everything that has happened to me, but he did not appear, which means that he has no intention of helping me. I can only rely on myself, and at worst, I will die. In any case, that bastard Shi Xiao Lei has already been crippled, no matter how good a water or wood element magician is, at most, they can only restore the tendons of his hands and feet, but not his thing. He is destined to be a eunuch for the rest of his life. "
Ji Dong nodded at Yun Tian Ji, and said, "Let's go."
"Go where?" Yun Tian Ji looked at him, stunned.
Ji Dong said, "Tianji City, tell me, how do you want to take revenge?"
"They all deserve to die?"
Ji Dong furrowed his brows.
Yun Tian Ji snorted coldly, and said, "Every one of the Shi Clan deserves to be killed a hundred times over. You can ask around in Tianji City, if there is any falsehood in my words, my sister's soul in heaven will not be at peace."
He nodded slightly in agitation, and said, "I believe you, but there are three things that I will not kill: women and children, servants who do not help the wicked, and children."
Yun Tian Ji looked at Ji Dong, and said, "You really want to help me take revenge?"
Ji Dong said, "Not for you, but to get rid of evil. I can't care about all the injustice in the world, but if I see it, I have to care. In life, if there is no pursuit, then I can only be a walking corpse. I only want to take revenge."
