Chapter 16 - Basilisk Forest (2/2)

”Sixth Sister, I'll be going to the Earthly Titan Sect.” Shin Xuanji stated his stance. Lin Feilin didn't seem too surprised as she looked towards him with a slight nod. She turned towards Yan Zaizen.

”I-I...I won't join the Earthly Titan Sect.” He hesitantly replied. In truth, it did seem great to join one of the great sects, but he also didn't want trouble to follow him. If he could join of his own merits, then great, but even then, the Earthly Titan Sect wasn't his first choice. He had a family, and if he decided to join a sect, there were things he needed to do before taking that step. He's not selfish, and he still loved his grandfather.

The reason he says this is because Yan Jinzen was likely to join the Soaring Cloud Sect while Ya Qinqan joins the Water Veil Sect. While the Water Veil Sect is neutral in regards to the Soaring Cloud Sect and Earthly Titan Sect, the Soaring Cloud Sect was still far closer to the Yan Clan than the Earthly Titan Sect. The Basilisk Forest was over ten thousand li away from the Yan Clan, and the Yan Clan had deep ties with the Soaring Cloud Sect.

He could never join the Earthly Titan Sect for fear of harming his family if he was ever forced to choose or end up disgracing his parents' memories by being branded a traitor. With those considerations, he naturally wouldn't join.

Because of Han Genji, he felt conflicted about joining the Soaring Cloud Sect as well. It just made everything a headache.

”I see. Then, we'll depart here.” Lin Feilin said. It seems she had her own considerations and plans, unwilling to have Yan Zaizen, who would need protection, and thus were willing to separate. She didn't even give them time to respond. Executing an exquisite movement-type Qi Art, she vanished.

Unprepared, Yan Zaizen stammered as he held out his hand in an attempt to stop her, but she was already gone. Although he could sense her direction with his powerful spiritual sense, he didn't chase after her. He knew that doing so wouldn't accomplish anything.

He could only sigh.

”Originally, I intended to kill you.” A frosty voice resounded in Yan Zaizen's ear causing him to turn his head. It originated from Shin Xuanji. His expression was calm, but one could see deep-seated killing intent within his black pupils. ”However, Master would be ashamed of me if I did. So I won't.” He traced Yan Zaizen with his gaze and turned away about to take his leave.

”Wait!” Yan Zaizen shouted, then added, ”Why?!”

”I will kill every last one of you.” Shin Xuanji didn't turn around, but his voice turned absolute zero and exceedingly cruel.

Despite not seeing his face, Yan Zaizen could tell he was doing everything in his power not to turn around and strike him dead. Even his body slightly trembled.

”One of me?” Yan Zaizen felt puzzled.

”Every. Last. Yan!” Every word was spoken with untold hatred and deep pain.

”...”

Shin Xuanji executed his own movement-art, vanishing as well.

Yan Zaizen felt enlightened. When he first met Shin Xuanji, he kept feeling a sensation of danger and a hint of killing intent. Even the look in Han Genji's eyes when he was informed of his name, and how Shin Xuanji was willing to join the Earthly Titan Sect so decisively. A death grudge seemed to be formed between Shin Xuanji and the Yan Clan. Something that would require the entire clan's annihilation to correct and Han Genji knew about it.

He took a deep breath, looking at where Shin Xuanji left. It seems this Eighth Brother of his, the next time they meet, would likely end in one of their deaths.

”As long as I'm alive, I'll never let that happen.” He quietly stated, swearing an oath to himself.
