37 Arc 3-chapter 3

Xiao Ning'er was terrified, to say the least, she couldn't do anything but watch but she understood his Rage, she never knew her father sold her aunt and the way they spoke about her aunt made her disgusted.

She saw Tian's face when he left, the feeling of grief and sadness, it is the first time she saw him like that.

Xiao Tian directly teleported to his home, he never cared what others thought about him, even when his father scolded him, he never bothered to take it to his heart but he could never let someone insult her.

Cultivation is more than just strengthening your soul, it is also gaining a deep understanding of yourself. He understood he never took over Xiao Tian's body as he assumed. His assumptions were wrong in the first place, he is Xiao Tian from the very beginning, he just gained his previous life's memories at the age of 8. This revelation made him feel guilty for not being there for his mother, she is the only person that loved him regardless of everything, she even apologized to him that he may inherit her red soul realm since she doesn't know much about cultivation. At that time, he never regained his memories so, he is immature and didn't understand what she meant.

She's a commoner his father took fancy in, that's it. So, when they are speaking about her like that, he didn't care if he is going to get exposed. He's trying all this time to not kill his clan for how they treated her but she's a woman who is too good for this world. She never bore any resentment and she even made him promise her to not have resentment for the unfairness they showed. But when he gained memories, he was like entirely different person, the emotions of his previous self didn't merge even now and they'll never will. So, he has this guilt that he is not loving his mother truly or feeling any emotion towards her. So, He wanted to keep that promise to honour her but at the same time, he won't let anyone disrespect her.

Going inside his house, his focus immediately shifted to an ornament he has never seen before. He picked it up and felt light entering his body, he smiled recognising the light from Meirong but it vanished when his eyes landed on a letter, he processed it in a flash and flew into the sky.

The letter read

'Little Tian,

I know I have been spending less and less time with you these days. I guess you might have questions for me, even I want to explain to you the reason why but I don't want to drag you into my troubles. I'm happy that you trust me and I know you'll help me if I asked but I will only bring trouble to you.

You already helped me a lot, and I'm grateful for it. I am currently being hunted by enemies, by the time you read this letter I might have already died. I know how much it means to you to stay low profile. If I come to Glory city now, you may be exposed and that's not even the end of it.

So, please forgive me for leaving you alone. I hope you and Ning'er lead a happy life. In the future, you'll accomplish great things. I'm sure of it. The pendant is my parting gift

Your Loving elder sister

Lin Meirong

...

In the spirit gulf, five humanoid beasts can be seen battling against a lone woman who is showered in blood, and a hand of her is missing.

The surroundings are destroyed and caught on fire, and lightning sparks can be seen moving around in a star shape, a formation entrapping the woman.

she's healing but It is quickly interrupted as a gigantic bird type beast entered pierced the woman's back with its beak, a sickening squelch was heard as the beak covered in blood and intestines came out from another end of the body.

"Grhggg!Arghh!"

The rest of the beasts captured the woman with their appendages at the same time, a frosty voice descended from as an ice hand descended from the sky,

???: This is the end for you Meirong, I wanted to absorb Yu yan first, who would have thought that you would revive first.

Meirong: Heh~,*gurg* I guess this is the end for me. *cough*Who would have thought that the pathetic excuse of a dragon would still be a slave to that monstrosity who fears someone may surpass him. Even after all these centuries*cough* are still pathetic, Zhu long

Zhu long: How dare you disrespect my lord!!!

A huge ice spear appeared out of thin air and pierced the neck of Meirong

*GASP!!*

She desperately gasped for air but the pain overwhelmed her. Generally, spiritual gods don't need air to survive and their flesh will be reconstructed even from a small scratch so, seeing Meirong in such a Desperate state, Zhu long feared something

Zhu long: What?!! yo..you You gave up your Divine spark!!! Where is it!!! To Whom did you give it up!!

Meirong smirked at the sky as her eyes lost their soul, succumbing to her injuries.

Zhu long: No!! You can't die!!!!

Zhu long roared but knowing she already died, he retracted his law from the spirit gulf roaring in his palace which is somewhere in the divine continent.

Xiao Tian who just arrived at the Spirit gulf after tracking Meirong's soul force saw the lifeless body of her being held by demon beasts, His mind went blank seeing her dead body, as the Quetzalcoatl in the soul realm roared but his physical body showed no reaction except for the golden eyes glowing dangerously.

The pure disgust, rage, guilt,self-loathe every emotion he's been suppressing until now, released through his soul-destroying the entire spirit gulf as the space began to distort, trees and beasts getting either petrified, crushed or shredded, the demon beasts ran away feeling the terrifying aura from the spirit gulf, chaos ensued on the lands but only one spot is unchanged this whole time, that is the body of Meirong which laid lifelessly. Even the demon beasts that pinned her down died without even a fight

Xiao Tian held her body, not shedding a tear but his face contains self-loathing. His eyes are locked on to the lifeless eyes of the body he's holding, only one thought running in his mind this whole time due to chaotic situation he experienced in Clan .

Xiao Tian:'I killed her'
