Against The Gods
Chapter 39 – Blood-soaked Jasmine

Xiao Che said each word with firm determination. He did not try to comfort Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi, nor did he joke; it was absolute decisiveness that at once also forced him to reach that decision no matter what it was.

His words pierced Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi for a long time. However, soon after, Xiao Lingxi shook her head and her eyes cried staring: “Che small, you don't need to do that. I just want you to live a normal and peaceful life. It's okay as long as you can protect yourself …. When I'm free, I'll find you…. So, you can't do anything stupid or anything dangerous. “

In his eyes, he was still a man who needed his protection. After listening to his decision …. The fact that the thought was still in his mind was enough. How could he possibly be willing to let her risk her life in danger for them?

“Do not worry. Of course I will protect myself well. “Xiao Che smiled as he looked at her,” Because little grandfather and aunt are here waiting for me. Because it's…. I haven't fulfilled the promise I made to little aunt. “

“Appointment?” The bright eyes of Xiao Lingxi swayed slightly as she looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Che did not explain and walked in front of Xiao Lie. He knelt down and reached out: “Grandfather, I am your grandson, Xiao Lie, and have been under your protection for sixteen years, but now it is time for me to spread my wings. You are my grandfather so this granddaughter of yours will not continue to humiliate you by being trash forever. Before I return, you must .. take care of yourself. “

“Good…. Goody! “Xiao Lie slowly nodded his head as his voice trembled and tears appeared in both of his eyes. He advanced to help Xiao Che, took out a wooden tablet from his body and placed it in Xiao Che's hands: “Che’er, the Xiao Clan has kicked you out and there is no place for you in Floating Cloud City . Your profound vein has been broken. You have also never stepped out of Floating Cloud City in your entire life. Although I was very worried .. The look in your eyes made me feel comfortable and relieved. If you don't have a destination to visit, then grab this tablet and go to a City called ‘New Moon’, and look for a person named Sikong Han. “

“Sikong Han came to Floating Cloud City a few years ago and due to a certain situation, he became indebted to me and thus gave this tablet. As soon as you find him in New Moon City, pass this tablet to him and tell him that you are my grandson. Maybe he can arrange your residence. “

Even after saying that she “ feels comfortable” and “lega”, there is no way she can hide her worries in her gaze and expression. The granddaughter who barely had any strength or experience outside Floating Cloud City could only stay outside from now on, with no one to rely on. How could he possibly feel comfortable? How could he not be heartbroken.

Xiao Che clasped the old wooden tablet in the middle of his hand and nodded loudly. After that he said: “Before I leave, I want to salute …. Uncle Xiao. “

“En.” Xiao Lie nodded, pleased.

“Che small!” As Xiao Che turned his body, Xiao Lingxi once again grabbed him tightly with both hands, her gaze full of unwillingness to let go was all but exhausted, melting Xiao Che's heart.

He desperately yearned for him to be able to take Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie away, he did not have the ability and qualifications to do that.At least in this dark place, without daylight, they were still considered safe.

“small aunt.” Xiao Che gently held Xiao Lingxi's hand and looked at her, “I can't bear to leave you, even more than little aunt can't bear to leave me. So I'll be back as soon as possible. And at that time.I swear, I will fulfill what I said that night …. “

Xiao Lingxi slowly softened her grip while the hand of Xiao Che holding Xiao Lingxi also softened .. Then she turned her body and walked forward with slow footsteps, not turning around… It was because he was afraid once he turned around, he would become unable to leave, he would see two streams of uncontrollable tears flowing out as he twisted his body.

Grandfatherbiscuts…. Little aunt ... In three years, I will definitely be back …. Wait me!!!!

The promise…. The promise….

Xiao Lingxi looked at the silhouette of Xiao Che who was getting further and further away with blurry eyes, involuntarily muttering it in her heart, what he said that night resounded in his heart …

“If you are not my little aunt, I will definitely marry you!”

Suddenly, Xiao Lingxi covered her mouth and in a split second, tried with all her might to hold back all her tears that were rushing like a flood.

The Xiao Clan Cemetery

While standing in front of Xiao Ying's tomb, Xiao Che's gaze was fixed on the old tombstone for a long time. Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times, his eyes staring with determination as he finished.

“Uncle Xiao, the great help you have done for the Yun family, I, Yun Che, will never forget it. If that day comes, when I find out that my parents are still alive, I will try my best to find them as well as the baby they were carrying at that time. On the day when I finally gain strength, I will find the person who killed you that day and revenge for you and for grandfather! “

Xiao Che made an oath in front of Xiao Ying's grave and bowed again after waking up, before leaving with heavy footsteps.

“From now on, I am no longer Xiao Che …. My name is Yun Che! “

The best explanation was that it was the actions of someone within the Xiao Clan!

Xiao Kuangyun was also very angry with this matter, but he was only angry for a while because he only felt very sorry for losing such a obedient and capable slave. He could get such a slave anywhere he wanted. However, now he could not bring back Xiao Yulong, who currently did not resemble either humans or ghosts, either, so the choice naturally fell on the person who was second with Xiao Yulong in “evaluation” yesterday.

Youngest grandson Third Elder Xiao Ze – Xiao Chengzhi.

If this were to happen, Xiao Ze and Xiao Chengzhi would definitely be overjoyed.

However the gazes of everyone in the clan towards Xiao Ze changed. Especially Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Li; upon seeing Xiao Ze, killing intent could be seen hidden deep in their eyes.

If it was really the members of the Xiao Clan who had crippled Xiao Yulong, then Xiao Ze would be under the greatest suspicion.

However this was apparently not Xiao Kuangyun's concern. In the afternoon, Sorted by all the nobles of Floating Cloud City, the four people of the Xiao Sect brought Xiao Chengzhi with them to leave Floating Cloud City and set foot on the road towards the Xiao Sect. Actually with the Xiao Sect's ability, it was very easy for them to send some profound beasts flying. However at this time, under Master Selte Xiao's orders, they were forbidden from using flying beasts so that Xiao Kuangyun could gain experience.

After Xiao Kuangyun left, Chu Yueli also prepared to bring Xia Qingyue back to Frozen Cloud Asgard.

“Teacher.” After bidding farewell to her father and brother, Xia Qingyue returned to Chu Yueli's side.

Chu Yueli turned her body, her face as white as snow, incomparably cool and elegant: “The distance between Frozen Cloud Asgard and here is quite far away, after you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, the, You may not know when you will have the chance to return. Don't leave unfinished business that you might regret. “

“Confirm, Teacher. Qingyue had already and truly made suitable preparations, so I could follow Master and depart at any time. Although father was reluctant to part, he was always very grateful with Qingyue entering Frozen Cloud Asgard. “

Chu Yueli nodded, “Then, we can start our journey right now. Milady's always wanted to see you for years, ever since I told you to her. I believe that if she sees you, she will definitely like you. “

“Dad has helped prepare the horse. “Xia Qingyue respectfully said.

“No need.” Chu Yueli shook her head and said: “Horse is too slow. I will bring you back using the Profound Floating Technique. Also, you must be careful to feel the change in my profound energy in the midst of this technique, it will be very beneficial for your strength in the future …. Let's go; Give me your hand.”

Xia Qingyue extended her delicate white hand without hesitation. It was clear that the Profound Floating Technique Chu Yueli would quickly bring him high into the sky. This thought made a hint of excitement and hope rise in his heart.

Chu Yueli somewhat extended her cold hand to hold Xia Qingyue's hand. In an instant, the coldness of his body shifted and the great Frozen Cloud Arts began to spin rapidly …. But then Chu Yueli's entire body began to tremble. The Frozen Cloud Arts that had just activated also suddenly disappeared without a trace. He turned his body towards Xia Qingyue, his unshakable gaze finally clinging onto Xia Qingyue …. It was clear that there was some sort of extreme astonishment in his eyes, as if there were unimaginable worldly problems. “

“Teacher? What was? “Ask Xia Qingyue was worried, because of Chu Yueli's frightening and unexpected reaction.

“Must be…. This is absolutely impossible !! “

Chu Yueli puzzledly widened as she suddenly raised her other hand. After both of his hands grabbed Xia Qingyue's right wrist and the coldness on her body spread out. Chu Yueli's beautiful eyes then widened again as her entire body swayed more and more than before; on her face, there was an expression of disordered and astonished astonishment …. And joy! He decisively snatched Xia Qingyue's hand as she looked into her eyes and completely became speechless as she was so emotionally aroused.

Her expression made Xia Qingyue become even more worried: “Guru …. A... What is going on?

“Qingyue!” Chu Yueli suddenly realized her throbbing heart beat so she came to a realization. When using the Frozen Cloud Arts, one's mind would lean, bit by bit, towards a cold and desolate state. It is very difficult to be affected and get up with just momentum. Unknown how many years, his emotions are out of control: “Tell your Master, what exactly did you experience during this period of time? Did you find anyone amazing? Or was it consuming some kind of pill that went against the gods! “

“I ...” Xia Qingyue momentarily looked at him for a while.

“Overall, one only has a total of Fifty Four Profound Entrances. Ordinary people were endowed with around ten Profound Entrances while people with high innate talent were gifted with around fifteen Profound Entrances. When I first discovered you, I discovered that you had twenty-one Profound Entrances, an incredible gift that only looked one in a million! If one had even more entrances, their cultivation and their activation speed would increase. No matter what, a practitioner with twenty Profound Entrances would undoubtedly cultivate and activate their profound strength twice as fast as a practitioner born with only ten Profound Entrances. “

“It was very difficult to open Profound Entrances, as it even took a century for Milady to open seven Profound Entrances doors and reach opening thirty Profound Entrances. In the entire Blue Wind Empire, the ones who had reached the highest state in opening thirty Profound Entrances, could not possibly surpass five people! The reason why the Profound Opening Powder, the reward that the Xiao Sect gave to the Xiao Clan, could speed up that cultivation process was because it could temporarily open three to four Profound Entrances for a short period of time. However, it was only a temporary effect …. Even so, the Profound Opening Powder was still an extremely valuable medicine for the Xiao Sect. “

“But Qingyue, you ..” Chu Yueli firmly grabbed Xia Qingyue's shoulder as her beautiful eyes stared at her fieryly: “Fifty-four Profound Entrances have been fully opened! And they've all really been opened permanently …. Do you understand what this means? This means that your cultivation speed and profound activation will be almost double that of Milady! It would also become many times faster than ordinary people! Not only that, the profound skill development you practice is limitless. Whenever your profound strength makes a breakthrough, it will never meet ‘jams’! “

“When all the Profound Veins in the Fifty Four Profound Entrances have been fully opened, the, that is what the legend calls ‘Heavenly God’s Spiritual Veins’ and it is said that only the Gods of the legends possess this Profound Vein! This was unprecedented in the history of Blue Wind Empire! Qingyue …. In this period of time, what exactly have you experienced! “
