Sitting on Pan-Pan's back like Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu lowered his head to look at the departing Xia Guang.
"He's leaving just like that? His opponent is obviously not his match, and now that he's gone, his injuries will only worsen. "
Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips, "Doesn't he want revenge wholeheartedly? From the looks of it, in his heart, upholding his principles is more important than avenging his kin? "
"Not necessarily." Yan Zhaoge crossed his arms before his chest, "He still has not completely lost all hope. While I have not heard of any other places in the vicinity that are proficient in pill concoction other than Bright Origin Pavilion, it is not that there is no hope at all."
"When one has not truly fallen into despair, many beliefs will not truly be shaken. This can be said to be due to his firm will and also his hope for a fluke."
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual, "At the final juncture, it may seem very easy for people to break through their original bottom line. Still, bottom lines are things that are the toughest at the start. After breaking through once, they will often be broken again and again."
Scratching his head, Ah Hu asked, "Young Master, what do we do now? Continue observing? "
"There is no need." Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "I am only observing him to understand him. After all, I did not know him before."
In the secular world, when there were disasters and wars and the common people had no way of making a living, when people were in dire straits, they would even sell their children or exchange their children for food.
Still, a situation where all hope was completely lost was already an unusual situation for ordinary people in the first place.
It naturally happened, something that could not be helped.
Still, intentionally forcing someone into dire straits where there was no way out and still asking him to uphold his humanity, morals and beliefs, this sort of forceful interrogation was already a form of inhumanity in itself.
While those who would rather die than submit under such circumstances were worthy of respect, intentionally creating such a situation was equivalent to purposely depriving the other party of his life.
While Yan Zhaoge did not care about taking someone's life, he did not intend to kill Xia Guang.
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest smile, "I can't tell anything else, but I can tell one thing. Don't talk about that one eye of his. Otherwise, even a benefactor might become an enemy."
The Xia Guang before him had a fiery temper in the first place, easily exploding at the slightest provocation.
If others mocked his one eye, he would immediately explode.
It was the Pavilion Lord of Bright Origin Pavilion who had first apologized earlier. Otherwise, Xia Guang's sabre would probably not have been merciful.
Even if he did not touch anyone else, nor did he want the Clear Radiance Pill, Xia Guang would still slaughter that martial practitioner of Bright Origin Pavilion who had mocked him for having only one eye before leaving.
While he had left Bright Origin Pavilion now, Xia Guang was still feeling exceptionally displeased as he resembled an irascible lion.
He stood in the dense forest of the Mianshan Mountains, gazing at the vast world in the distance. The irritation in his heart finally eased.
Calming himself, Xia Guang could not help but smile bitterly, "In the end, I still did not obtain the pill. What should I do now?"
He raised his hand to wipe away the blood that flowed out from the corner of his mouth once again. He felt depressed in his heart. "I can't even handle my own affairs right now. How am I supposed to find Big Brother and Big Sister? How am I supposed to avenge everyone?"
It was a simple three-step plan, but the first step had hit a wall.
Feeling despondent, Xia Guang unconsciously looked back in the direction of Bright Origin Pavilion before immediately shaking his head and continuing on his way.
He planned to walk a little further and find someone to ask if there were any other elixirs nearby that could heal his injuries.
After walking for a while, Xia Guang suddenly heard a tragic cry resound from above.
Raising his head, his eyes immediately widened.
That Three Foot Mountain Elder who had just escaped from him had shockingly appeared in the air.
What shocked Xia Guang even more was that a sword-light flashed past, the head of that Three Foot Mountain Elder instantly flying into the air.
He hurriedly looked in the direction from which the sword-light had originated. He saw a massive bear with black and white fur and two large black eye circles treading on the air as it hovered in the horizon.
On the back of that beast, a white-clothed, blue-robed youth extended a hand, his index and middle fingers forming a sword as a sharp sword-light flickered on his fingertips.
Looking at the scene before him, Xia Guang's first feeling was not one of satisfaction or venting his hatred, but one of loss.
The foe whom he had just fought to the death with all his might yet still managed to escape had died so easily at the hands of another …
He unconsciously moved forward, seeing that the corpse of that Three Foot Mountain Elder that had already been separated from his body was currently falling from the sky.
If an ordinary person were to fall from such a high place, they would probably be badly mangled.
However, even if that Three Foot Mountain Elder had been heavily injured, his fleshly body had still been extremely tough.
Now that he was devoid of life, he fell to the ground but did not shatter as he just rolled about amidst the dust.
The horrified expression of having died with everlasting regret could still be seen on that head.
Xia Guang stared at that head for a while before he suddenly laughed uproariously, laughing so hard that he rocked back and forth.
Still, after laughing, he turned to crying.
Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan's head lightly as Pan-Pan landed on the ground.
Xia Guang was shocked as he gradually stopped crying, raising his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, "You … you are …"
Yan Zhaoge answered calmly, "I am surnamed Yan, Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge."
"Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge?" Xia Guang was even more shocked as he was dazed for a moment before he suddenly bowed deeply towards Yan Zhaoge, "I am surnamed Xia, also of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, a disciple of the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range's Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family."
"Those of Three Foot Mountain killed my entire family. While I wanted to exact revenge, I lacked the strength to do so. I thank Young Master Yan for avenging me!"
Yan Zhaoge appraised Xia Guang all over.
Due to that battle earlier, his external appearance had already turned from that of a youth in his prime to that of white hair as he looked like he was already about to enter old age.
Unlike many martial practitioners who could change their external appearance as they wished.
The changes in Xia Guang's external appearance reflected the changes in his longevity.
The first time Yan Zhaoge had seen him, Xia Guang had been extremely young in terms of the longevity of a Martial Saint as he had truly been like a youth.
Now, in terms of his longevity, he was truly about to enter old age.
"I once passed by the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range on my way to the cave manor of the Daoist temple. I have heard of your family's matters," Yan Zhaoge said candidly, "It is just that I did not know that there was still an orphan of the Xia Family remaining in this world at the time."
Hearing his words, sorrow arose within Xia Guang's heart once more as he thought of his deceased family.
"I encountered quite a few Three Foot Mountain martial practitioners in the cave manor of the Daoist temple. This person was just one of them." Yan Zhaoge's gaze swept across the ground, towards that Three Foot Mountain Elder whose head had been separated from his body, "They must be the murderers who destroyed your Xia Family?"
Xia Guang instantly ground his teeth, "Definitely! Back then, that Chief of Three Foot Mountain personally led people in slaughtering my entire Xia Family! "
"They have already been slaughtered by me," Yan Zhaoge said mildly.
Xia Guang was instantly taken aback upon hearing his words.
Yan Zhaoge continued, "Still, you need not thank me. I killed them because they competed with me for the treasures in the cave manor of the Daoist temple."
"Then … I still have to thank you!" Xia Guang regained his wits, saying rather emotionally.
His hands behind his back, Yan Zhaoge looked at Xia Guang, "What do you intend to do now then? The ones who destroyed your Xia Family and entered the cave manor of the Daoist temple were not all of Three Foot Mountain. They still have many disciples in the Green Peak High Plains. "
