When the last drop of tear fell, Dark Fang heart which has turned grey felt some red being pumped into his heart, the heart was trying to convey an message to its master. "Don"t give up yet, there"s still someone for you to protect in this lifetime."
That"s right, there is still that someone who is waiting for me to serve under him as his right hand man. Wait for me, give me eight years of time to breakthrough past the Demon Saint realm and I will be there. Dark Fang vowed to himself as blood seeped out from his mouth.
Nightin continued to travel deeper into the pitch blackness, the sound of water which fell from the top and silence devoured by the shadows were his companions.
What exactly happened to that man? Why am I unable to sense his aura anymore? Nightin questioned within his mind as he quickened his footsteps, his fingers wrapped tightly around the hilt of his sword.
"Avoid the path which leads into the darkness, the blossom light here awaits your arrival." A tempting voice faded into Nightin"s head all of a sudden.
Shaking his head, he ventured deeper into the cave, but a glow of light caught his attention with its dazzling brightness, the glow was of a Sakura colour and it gave off a heavenly scent.
Nightin was rash and stepped forward, but he stopped himself after taking one step out, for a portal glowing with darkness suddenly appeared beside the one from before.
"Master... Is that you...?" A pitiful voice called out from the black portal.
"The Blossom light will lead you to glory as we strive for longevity that matches the heavens!" A voice filled with dominance mentioned.
That voice, could it be? How could Nightin forget that person, he was one of the few who was part of his Samsara cycle after all.
Nightin was about to step into the Blossom portal after trying to resist the cry of an acquaintance, but a man suddenly appeared and stopped him, the man who exceeds the Sword Ancestor realm.
Being stopped, Nightin mocked himself, did I just attempt to ditch my friend just for strength? Then for what point do I cultivate if I had done that?
"Senior, is that you?" Nightin asked politely, but still kept his spirit barrier activated and his sword unsheathed.
"You recognise me? I believe that I look much younger in my current state, how did you manage to identify me?" The man questioned back as a terrifying aura was released from his body.
For someone of his caliber and strength, it isn"t an honourable thing to change his appearance, the only explanation for this would be a total breakthrough.
Having stepped into the seventh stage of Sword Ancestor realm himself, Nightin could detect the true strength of the man ahead of him.
What is the Sword Ancestor realm? It"s nothing but the being able to touch the tallest buildings, the sky? The sun and moon? The stars? I"m sorry, but you aren"t even close to approaching them.
The man said no more, his aura was more than enough to explain everything, but this changed when a middle aged woman stepped out from the portal.
She was wearing a tight fitting robe which showed off her curves, but the dangerous aura she was giving off would make men shun from her.
It may be a delicacy to enjoy such a woman, but what would be the point if they lose their manhood?
The Sword Sage standing there said in a tranquil voice "Blossom, to think that you would actually prey on him of all people."
The s.e.xy woman, who goes by the name Blossom chuckled as she stated "I don"t think that there"s a problem to that."
The Sword Sage still kept his eyes veiled off from the outside world up until now, but he decided to himself, if things really take a turn for the worse, I"m afraid that I"ll have to turn serious for once.
"Blossom, I"m unable to let you know of his true ident.i.ty, but if you respect me and decide not to probe any further, I"ll let this matter slide regardless of the consequences." The Sword Sage threatened as his sword aura rampaged around him, blades of spirit energy were formed as they pointed their tips at Blossom.
Blossom didn"t back down as black roses started to form behind her. "Don"t tell me that he"s actually him." She asked, the question and answer which should have been lost in the pa.s.sage of time.
"Blossom, why must you be this foolish? That isn"t a name that you should mention. On account of our friends.h.i.+p for the past thousand years, I"ll let this matter slide as long as you leave right now." The Sword Sage stated, but a thin strand of worry was audible from his voice.
"If that"s truly the case, I"ll be taking my leave first." Blossom said casually as she stretched her back and formed a perfect arc before walking back towards the portal.
Before she left and was about to say something, the Sword Sage said again "I just need eight years more, just wait for me till then."
Blossom stepped into the portal, her face and demure was calm, but the tears streaking down her face soon broke her apart as she cried in joy. He"ll finally be back, finally, after all these years.
The Sword Sage then turned and looked at Nightin, "you may step into that black portal if you wish to, an acquaintance of yours awaits your uninvited arrival there."
Before Nightin could ask any questions about his true ident.i.ty this time, the Sword Sage had already vanished.
"I"m sorry, but I will have to yield to the cry from the black portal this time around." Nightin murmured with his eyes closed, bowed down and even retracted his spirit barrier. He wasn"t sure if the woman named Blossom could hear him, but it doesn"t matter as he is sincere about the apology.
"Young fella, are you sure about this? You will regret it the day you figure out our true ident.i.ty..." The voice trailed off and vanished as the portal closed with a vzzt, if it weren"t for his robe sticking closely to his skin, he would have suspected that it was just an illusion.
But still, is the Blossom light an ent.i.ty or a entire organization? Her appearance might not be everything to that.
Haish, it"s still outside of my current access to such info. Nightin thought to himself as he stepped forward, into the black portal which leads to an unknown location.
