"Hehe …" Jiang Fei did not know what to do now that Huang Xie knew what he was up to.
If Jiang Fei were to fight Huang Xie head-on, he would not be able to defeat Huang Xie. Jiang Fei's original plan was to launch a sneak attack when Huang Xie was not paying attention. If he managed to injure Huang Xie severely, he might stand a chance.
However, now that Huang Xie knew Jiang Fei's intentions, it was impossible for Jiang Fei to launch a sneak attack.
There was no chance for him to launch a sneak attack, and he could not defeat Huang Xie head-on either. Therefore, Jiang Fei was in an awkward situation.
"Hehe, young man, did the young master ask you to kill me?" Huang Xie smiled at Jiang Fei. From his tone, he did not seem to hold a grudge against Prince Wu Geng.
"Err … Hehe …" Jiang Fei was extremely embarrassed. He did not know how to answer.
"Sigh! It's my fault for not thinking things through. For thousands of years, I've been thinking about what happened back then. I've indeed gone too far. It's only right that the young master hates me! "Huang Xie sighed.
Back then, the human race had been advancing triumphantly. Only Huang Xie knew that it was the Primordial Celestial's plan to lure the enemy in. However, the entire Heavenly Court believed that the Primordial Celestials were doomed. Moreover, King Shang had died not long ago. Everyone wanted to avenge their former master. Therefore, no one believed Huang Xie's opinion.
When the human race's attack began to weaken, Huang Xie accurately predicted that the human race was about to lose. Therefore, he took the risk and tried to use the news that Prince Wu Geng had a son to boost the morale of the human race. However, before he could see the final glory of the human race, his plan was exposed and he was killed by Prince Wu Geng.
Huang Xie felt wronged when he was killed. After all, he was dedicated to the cause of the Human Tribe. However, after thousands of years, he realized that he had been reckless. His plan was indeed a bastard. He did not know how he came up with such a suicidal plan to make the Human Tribe's leader happy. It was no wonder that Wu Geng was so insistent on killing him. No one would be able to tolerate such a thing!
"Uncle, what do you plan to do next?" Jiang Fei asked. He definitely could not kill Huang Xie now. If he had to fight, Jiang Fei would probably be the one lying on the ground.
"Me?" Huang Xie smiled bitterly. Since Jiang Fei could find him, it meant that his hiding place had been exposed. Even if Jiang Fei could not kill him, someone else would come for his life.
"Martial Uncle, you'd better leave quickly and find a secluded place to stay!" This time, he was sincere. Since the Quest was destined to fail, he did not plan to harm Huang Xie anymore. From the bottom of his heart, Jiang Fei sympathized with Huang Xie quite a bit.
"Young man, let me ask you. You have so many cauldrons with you. Do you really plan to take on the responsibility of the War of the Heavens?" Huang Xie ignored Jiang Fei's suggestion.
"Of course!" Jiang Fei replied without hesitation.
"Yes! Good job! " Huang Xie nodded. Although Prince Wu Geng had become Lu Fu and there was still a trace of his Primordial Spirit left, he was already crippled. It was impossible for him to take on the responsibility of the Heavenly Crusade. Jiang Fei, who had many Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom, was undoubtedly the best candidate for the task.
Jiang Fei was currently very weak. He was not even qualified to be cannon fodder, let alone carry the heavy burden of the Heavenly War! However, adventurers had an advantage that the aboriginals could not compare to. They had an extremely fast growth rate!
A native Overlord might need hundreds of years to obtain his own power. However, an adventurer might only need a year or even half a year to do so. Huang Xie was very optimistic about Jiang Fei's chances of obtaining the full power of an Overlord.
"Martial Uncle, you should leave quickly. I'm afraid that the Young Master will send someone else to kill you!" Jiang Fei tried to persuade Huang Xie again. He really did not want Huang Xie to die now.
"There's no need for that. I've lived for so long. I've already gotten over it. Besides, it's boring to hide in a dark cave all the time." Huang Xie shook his head.
"But …" Jiang Fei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Huang Xie.
"Alright! You can leave! "Huang Xie waved his hand.
"Sigh! Martial Uncle, take care! "Jiang Fei saw that Huang Xie refused to leave, so he had no other choice.
"Hehe, you've been calling me Martial Uncle for a long time, but I haven't given you any gifts. Now that you're leaving, I'll give you a small gift!" Just as Jiang Fei was about to leave, Huang Xie called out to him.
"Gift?" Jiang Fei was stunned. At that moment, Huang Xie was in his spiritual form. He had nothing on him. Could it be …
While Jiang Fei was still in his spiritual form, Huang Xie's body began to burn.
"Kid! Your martial uncle is penniless. I don't have anything to give you. Now that you're leaving, I can only help you complete the Young Master's Quest! "Huang Xie's spiritual form had already burned half of his spiritual form. However, he still smiled at Jiang Fei.
"Uncle …" Jiang Fei felt a lump in his throat. He was momentarily at a loss for words. Of course, he knew that Huang Xie had not died because of him calling him uncle. He had died for the entire human race. As Jiang Fei was currently the most capable candidate for the War of the Heavens, Huang Xie had sacrificed his life for the sake of the human race.
"Send my regards to my big brother! Tell him that Huang Xie has never betrayed the human race! "Huang Xie said his last words.
Very soon, Huang Xie's remnant soul was completely burned. Only a Spiritual Mark was left on the ground.
As one of the Four Sages of the Heavens, although Huang Xie had made a stupid move and ended up dying, his heart was still on the human race's side. It could be said that Huang Xie had worked hard for the human race's Heavenly Crusade. In the end, he died for the sake of the human race. Moreover, he was accused of being a traitor.
"Martial Uncle, don't worry. If I succeed in the Heavenly Crusade one day, I will definitely clear your name!" Jiang Fei swore in his heart.
After picking up Huang Xie's Spiritual Mark, Jiang Fei walked out of the cave. However, although he had completed the Quest, he did not feel happy at all.
"Master, senior Huang Xie did this as a form of relief," Akatziris said.
"Sigh! Let's go! "Jiang Fei sighed. He did not say anything else. Instead, he tore a Return Scroll.
After arriving at the nearest city, Ocean City, Jiang Fei did not return to the Emperor's Palace. Instead, he directly teleported to Dawnlight City.
After arriving at Dawnlight City, Jiang Fei went straight to the Slum's Blacksmith Shop. As expected, he saw Ou Yezi there.
At this time, Ou Yezi did not look like he was wearing golden armor. Instead, he looked like a sloppy homeless man. He was holding a chicken drumstick in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He seemed to be half-drunk.
"You're back?" Ou Yezi looked at Jiang Fei with sleepy eyes.
"Yeah!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"He's dead?" Ou Yezi sounded like he was talking about someone unrelated to him. However, Jiang Fei could keenly see the tears in his teacher's eyes.
