Chapter 964 Sadness

Author: Lil Thorny Flower
The child who was singing was about five to six years old. Her eyes shimmered with life, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. She wore an adorable yellow dress, and she swung back and forth on the park's swing as she hummed a tune.

"Do you think it was nice, Grandma?" A few more rounds of singing later, the girl stared at the crone beside her and asked.

The crone was about ninety years old, her hair pallid and wilted like hay. Her face was rough from the torment of elements, and wrinkles punctured every inch of her skin. She was blind in one eye, and the other was not better off either.

She was hunkered down behind the girl, pushing her swing. "Your singing is beautiful, Gina," she muttered.

"Really? So, who is better? Me or the boy?" the girl asked.

The mention of the boy made the crone shiver, and even her good eye twitched. "You're both good."

The girl beamed, and the swing rocked again, but the crone was taken back to a time more than ten years ago. Just like what she was doi

    Though so many were here to celebrate her birthday, the matriarch didn't even look at them. She just said coldly, "I've told you, I could do without the celebration. You're dismissed."Everyone fell into an awkward silence, but then Daniel stepped forth. "Mother, it's your ninetieth birthday today. My brothers came all the way here to celebrate it with you, so…""I've told you, no! Now get out of my sight!" the matriarch roared.Daniel wanted to say something, but the woman beside him tugged at his arm and shook her head. In the end, Daniel sighed. "Very well. We shall take our leave now." Daniel and the rest of the family left.Before they departed, the lady said, "Gina, stay with your grandmother. It's her ninetieth birthday today, so sing her Happy Birthday."The girl smartly nodded. "Yes, Mother. I'll do it right now.""Good girl. We'll have to go now. Stay with Grandma." Everyone left. In the great hall of the residence, a voice bellowed, "Daniel, it's Mother's ninetieth b

  • Revenge of the Night   Chapter 966 The Plaque

    The ancestral hall of the Greenshade clan was dim. It was a hallowed place, where the memorial tablets of the clan's ancestors stood. Besides important events of the family, the hall was always closed, and entry was barred to everyone.However, the hall opened its doors today suddenly. A burly figure stood unmoving within—he was none other than Daniel. Before him were the memorial tablets of his ancestors, kept guarded within these halls for a long time.Staring at the tablets for a long while, Daniel suddenly knelt. Loudly, he said, "Daniel Greenshade greets you, ancestors! My inability to act forced a young boy to be exiled from the family. I failed as the family head and a father, but he was still part of the bloodline."Then, a dark and murderous expression appeared on Daniel's face. "Today, before you, I swear, I shall claim the lives of my son's killers! Back then, I was weak and succumbed to the pressure of the military, the families, the sects, and the clans, all for the fat

    Nox looked at the plaque coldly, then at the entrance. He remembered those doors. He remembered how he loved to ride on the stone lions when he was a child. Yet, the memories only turned his expression dark and icy.A few moments later, he leaped and reappeared inside the estate. This place was gigantic, taking up tens of thousands of acres. This family was the top clan in Imperia, so there should be a lot of people around.However, Nox only found a deserted place. Once, servants could be seen everywhere, but now it looked like an abandoned manor. But Nox didn't care. He only came back to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. This was the only time he came back in eighteen years.Pulling his robe closer to his face, Nox leaped again, this time flying toward his grandmother's chambers. It had been eighteen years, but this place still remained the same. Nox found his way to his grandmother's chambers easily.He heard a child's voice coming from the garden. "Grandma, Mom said it's you

    It had been eighteen years. The crone never thought she would see Nox ever again. Her callused hands brushed across Nox's cheeks, as if she wanted to see her beloved grandchild through her memory.Nox looked at his beloved grandmother with reddened eyes. 'She's not as young as she once was. Her hair's all wilted.' The once-loving grandmother was now a wizened crone."Grandma, I came back because it's your birthday today." Crying, the crone pulled Nox into her embrace. "I'm glad you're finally home. It's been eighteen years. To be exact, eighteen years, three months, and eight days. My boy, tell me everything. Have you been living well? Did anyone bully you? Did you eat well?"The crone didn't care how many achievements Nox had. She only wanted to know if he had lived well all these years.Nox held her hand. "It's been well, Grandma. Don't worry about me."The matriarch cried tears of sadness. "You were only five when you left us, my boy. Five! Well? How well could it have been?"

    Nox only said, "It's your birthday today, Grandma. I don't want to talk about that."The crone understood that there was no agreement, so she sighed and nodded. Nox stayed with her, and a long time later, a petite figure appeared at the entrance. "Who's that, Grandma?"Gina stared at Nox unblinkingly. The crone quickly went to her and held her hand. "It's your brother, Nox.""Nox?" Gina paused, still staring at Nox. "So, he's the one you've been waiting for, Grandma?" Gina asked.Crying, the crone nodded."So, it's really him? Wow! Hey, Nox. I'm Gina," Gina said nicely. "Grandma told me you're the best brother in the world, and she's been waiting for your return. She never stops talking about you. Never stopped thinking about you, either. I often hear her cry in her sleep. See? She cried so much, she's blind in one eye."Gina pointed at the crone's blind eye. Nox felt something squeezing his heart, and he went on his knees. "I'm sorry, Grandma." Nox never knelt to anyone; not the

    After Nox made his departure, a burly, elderly Legend Realm in the great hall said, "Mr. Greenshade, someone trespassed upon the matriarch's chambers, and he's more powerful than anyone I've ever seen."Daniel asked quickly, "And the matriarch?""She is unharmed, Mr. Greenshade."Daniel heaved a long sigh of relief, and then he asked sternly, "And who's the intruder who invaded our estate?""I don't know, Mr. Greenshade, but he might be an Advanced Legend Realm or stronger…" the old man trailed off."Is that so?""Yes. I tried to stop him, but he pushed me back without even lifting a finger," the burly man said.Daniels' face fell. He knew how powerful this old man was. After all, he had been in the clan for a hundred years. The Greenshade clan might not have many members, but being the top family in years past, they now still had twelve Legend Realms hiding among them.They were in the shadows, and this was the reason the Greenshade clan was at the top of the clan rankings.

  • Revenge of the Night   Chapter 971 At the Cemetery

    "My son… is alive? And… and he came back?" Daniel stared into the sky, and his vision blurred, perhaps from excitement or perhaps from something else. A long time later, he bellowed with laughter. "I knew this family's made up of tougher stuff than anything the world has ever seen!"…The night grew older. A silhouette was in a public cemetery, knelt beside a grave. His hair billowed in the breeze, but he remained kneeling like a quiet specter. "Mom, I'm back," he said in a shaky voice.Dim moonlight shone on the silhouette. He was none other than Nox. Eighteen years ago, five-year-old Nox and his mother were exalted from the clan. From then onward, they had no one but each other.Nox's mother once worked four jobs in a day to raise him. About a year later, she fell sick due to overworking, but she pushed through just to raise him. Eventually, when Nox reached the age of seven, his mother died.Nox remembered that day like it was yesterday. His mother had died on the eve of the Ne

    "You didn't stand up for me when you kicked me and Mom out of the clan back then. You didn't even go and see her when she overworked herself to death. How dare you call yourself my father after everything you did?" Nox spat his vitriol like venom.Daniel didn't defend himself. He let Nox abuse him all he wanted in silence. A long time later, he said, "Yes, I failed as a father and husband, but it doesn't change the fact the clan's blood flows in your veins. It doesn't change the fact that you are my son!""Silence!" Nox roared and darted ahead like a meteor and then slammed his palm into Daniel's chest.Though he was the leader of his clan and the top dog of Imperia thirty years ago, Daniel didn't dodge this fatal attack. Nox's palm slammed squarely into his chest. A torrent of energy rumbled the cemetery, and dozens of trees broke in half.Even so, Daniel remained in his spot, unmoving and unbudging. The ground around him started to break, and the cracks didn't stop until a few do

    If the altar was not unsealed, Nox wouldn't have enough power to handle the path of the martial and the path of the ancient divine. Even if he was only facing the leader of the path of the martial, he only had a sixty-forty chance of winning, and that wasn't enough to turn things around."We need to do this. At this point, we have no choice. We'll do everything we can and leave everything to fate. We must unseal the altar. Even if someone tries to disturb us, any powerup is good news for us," said Aphrodite."Fine, then we'll unseal the altar. You stay here as well. I think there's going to be a lot of this energy. I'll reach my limit very fast. You can use the energy to train as well. Queenie, you're a phoenix. If someone tries to disturb us, devour all the energy," said Nox."But I'm at my bottleneck. Devouring it won't do me any good. It's a waste." Queenie frowned."Better than letting the enemy take it. At worst, you can use them as energy bombs." Nineve curled her lips.Quee

  • Revenge of the Night   Chapter 2429 Dilemma

    "Will you shut up already? There's plenty of energy here. The Sea of the Fire God has a whole reserve for you." Nox sent Kirin flying away with a kick. The guy just wanted to take advantage of the situation.Replenishing spiritual energy and devouring it were different things. No matter the quality, replenishment would eventually fill up the user's tanks. Power level, however, was different. Lower-level spiritual energy couldn't be absorbed and refined, but higher-level energy was limited. There was no place to house a large amount of it.The fact that Fiery Ignis knew a place like that was a great help for Nox."Come with me." Fiery Ignis led everyone through the Altar and down to the underground. At the deepest depths was a cavern, where water and fire fused like they were perfect for each other. Weaker ones would die here if they stayed long enough, let alone pass through it.Nox used his Saint power to protect everyone as he went down as per Fiery Ignis' orders. After going thr

    "The path of the martial would never destroy the Temple of Fire, but Nox forced their hand. Even though you think this is bad enough, something worse is coming," said Aphrodite.Nox first thought of Faeast, after which he remembered the path of the sword. His guesses were correct. Aphrodite explained, "They will attack Faeast, but we can't get distracted now. People will die, but they can't kill everyone. A few deaths for a long-lasting peace is worth it. What we need to do now is raze Mystia to the ground."For that, we need the path of the sword," said Aphrodite. What came next was simple. Their destination was the path of the sword's grounds."Path of the sword? We can do that, but give me some time. I need to take the Altar off the formation and bring it with me," said Fiery Ignis."Of course, but make it quick. They won't hesitate to attack the path of the sword," said Nox solemnly.Fiery Ignis laughed. "They're not as simple as they look, Nox. The path of the martial might o

    "Carrying out orders? No beef with the Temple of Fire, you say?" Nox laughed. "But I have a beef with you! Naturally, I will kill you!"Nox swung his hand, and the Minor Saints exploded. Their souls flew out, and they cursed Nox as much as they could. "You're cursing me? Fine, guess you want a slow and painful death, then."They could've died a quick death, but once Nox used his Blazing Holy Eyes, they had to suffer a slow burn. The Minor Saints' screams filled the air. The survivors gleaned grim satisfaction from the enemies' suffering.Nox descended on the altar. The Temple of Fire was only standing thanks to this ancient artifact. It'd have fallen a long time ago otherwise."Mr. Nox!" The Temple of Fire survivors saw Nox as chief of them all, second only to the temple lord."Sorry, I was late." Nox nodded. He came in the nick of time. If he'd been a moment later, these people would be dead.Fiery Ignis wasn't in good shape either, but the Altar was more important. He extracted

    William could finally relax a little with Nox in the mix. He told Nox that the remnants of the enemies' temples attacked him because he was friends with the guy. His pavilion was destroyed, and his mentor died in battle. A lot of his fellow students died as well.Fortunately, the Temple of Fire saved him. Before he could even take revenge, the enemies attacked the Temple of Fire. Fortunately, Nox appeared in his darkest hour.Nox cursed, "The bastard! William and I aren't even that close! Why'd you attack him? You're not leaving here alive!"Furious, Nox put the island on lockdown. No one was going to leave this place alive. Thanks to the team's efforts, a group of survivors were saved. The remnants were all cleaned up, and Aphrodite was scouring the leaders' minds with her soul technique for intel.At the same time, Kirin had arrived at the island's center and fought the leader of the invaders. The path of the martial sent out a dozen Saints to destroy the Temple of Fire. Most of

    The mocked god was furious, and he wanted to see who the bastard was. However, when he realized who it was, he froze. The woman was the mistress of the Byrds. Then, his eyes shone. This woman was a prodigy among prodigies."Save me, Celestial Goddess! I'll give you everything I have," pleaded the god. He would be her slave if it came to it. The other cultivators asked for Katherine's help as well."The decision lies not with me." Katherine shook her head and looked at Nox.The cultivators were stunned, and they turned their attention to Nox. They thought the young man was unimpressive, and they wondered why Katherine would listen to him.The god of thievery threatened, "I don't care who you are, boy. Tell Celestial Goddess to help us, or I will kill you!"Bloodlust filled Nox's eyes. "You don't care who I am? How dare you! Open your eyes and take a good look. I know you know me."The god of thievery cursed and pushed through the pain of the flames. He focused on Nox's face, and w

    Nox unleashed his divine sense and noticed the Temple of Fire standing in the distance. It was in shambles. Mystia's factions had attacked it. "Get to the temple right away, Kirin. I'll stay here and contact my mentors. We'll regroup in a minute," Nox ordered. He sensed cultivators fighting in the distance."Thought you'd never ask. Finally, you're not asking me to act as a guard." The trip to Celestial Domain annoyed Kirin to no end. He almost got killed without a fight, and now he wanted to fight as much as he wanted to.Kirin activated his bloodline and hurtled ahead like a meteor. Nox cast a secret art and sealed his message in talismans, then he sent them flying in all directions. Nox then kept everyone covered with his Saint power and flew ahead to where Kirin was.They flew out of the Sea of the Fire God, and they saw the Temple of Fire. It was located on an island. It was obvious the island used to have a lot of grand buildings, but now it was ravaged by the fires of war, an

    If modern language wasn't of any use, Kirin tried ancient Faeastian, but the scorpion only shivered. Left with no choice, Kirin spoke in beast tongue, even though he didn't like it. The scorpion finally gave a response.Aphrodite noticed this, and she could guess the answer. If the mystery person knew Kirin would be here, they must've cleaned up their tracks. As she expected, a short while later, Kirin smacked the scorpion angrily."No wonder it's so stupid. Someone tampered with its brain. It's useless!" Not even the best soul technique users could change memories that easily. Even if they did it, it would hurt the brain of the target.Not everyone had Aphrodite's patience. The mystery person wasn't going to waste their time on a mere beast. They destroyed most of its nerves. The scorpion only survived this long thanks to its power.A while later, Nox unraveled the runes, and the formation was activated. The golden gates leading to Mystia were opened. "Done. You can come in now. K

    "They still have saint power in their bodies, and their insides are intact. So are their bodies. Someone destroyed their souls immediately. They couldn't even cast their spells, so that would explain why there are remnants of their energy inside them," said Nox.Everyone was horrified. That meant this mystery person was incredibly powerful. Queenie asked quietly, "Can you deal with them if you run into them, Nono?"Nox frowned. "If my divine sense can't see them, they might be able to stage an ambush and injure me. Even if we get into a fight, they would be a formidable foe. This person alone can keep me busy." He looked solemn.Everyone, however, heaved a sigh of relief. Nox pointed at the pile of bodies on the ground. "What? You think the enemy could kill me as easily as they did these people?"Everyone but Kirin was wondering who the mystery person was. He cursed, "Damn that bastard. I can't believe they set me up! They'd better pray I never find out who they are, or else!"Tho
