Finally, the time for him to learn of all the questions he was curious about could be answered at this very moment. He felt fidgety from his anticipation. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he looked towards Lin Feilin.
”Who is Han Genji?” His first question was one he had the most out of all else. Who was this master of his? He only had two meetings with him, one where he was drenched in blood, and the other where Han Genji was drenched in blood.
”Han Genji is my and your Master.” She said, her tone still icy-cold. She added, ”He was born in the Vanishing Fiend Sect's Han Clan to the Ji Family-line.”
Vanishing Fiend Sect?! So it made sense that he had connections with both the Vanishing Fiend Sect and the Earthly Titan Sect so that his disciples could join either or.
He hesitated for a while but asked with a hint of nervousness, ”Is he still alive?”
”Yes. He's been captured by the Soaring Cloud Sect and will be sentenced to death soon.” She stated, her voice may seem cold, but at the moment she said the word 'death,' he could see her lips quiver slightly. However, she composed herself quickly, not revealing anything after.
”I see…” Yan Zaizen wasn't a fool who thought he could stop the Soaring Cloud Sect's execution. If his master's allies don't appear, then it's likely his death was all but dated. ”Then, what's Eighth Brother's story?” This was the second most important matter to him. Shin Xuanji declared the eradication of the Yan Family, but Yan Zaizen didn't know a single thing about him.
Lin Feilin looked towards Yan Zaizen, her eyes obviously filled with a complexity. ”Shin Xuanji belonged to the Shin Clan, one of the Clan's directly under the Yan Clan about fifteen years ago. They, who were found guilty of treason, suffered complete annihilation by the Yan Clan.”
What?!
If Shin Xuanji's Clan was eradicated by the Yan Clan, then all of his former actions made sense. Unfortunately, Yan Zaizen was no more than one year old at the time and didn't remember a single thing about those days. However, his grandfather was still the clan leader at the time, which meant that he gave the order of extermination. Considering it more, if they were charged with treason, then their eradication was warranted. He was not a soft-hearted person, and you reap what you sow.
Traitors should be swiftly eliminated.
Seeing Yan Zaizen's thoughts in her eyes, Lin Feilin couldn't help but slightly shake her head and only said a few more words. ”It's more complicated than you think and more complicated than I can explain.” After those words, she wouldn't answer anything about the Shin Clan's circumstances, and likely it was because she didn't want to speculate or simply doesn't wish to say something unnecessary.
”What is Master's grudge against the Soaring Cloud Sect?” He remembered when he first met Han Genji, he said something about being chased about by the Soaring Cloud Sect, and that he was simply unwilling to let them leave with their lives because of it. There had to be a story behind that.
”The civil war, that occurred in the Vanishing Fiend Sect, left the Vanishing Fiend Sect weakened. However, Master was one of their prominent talents and thus a variable the enemies of the sect would love to eliminate. The Soaring Cloud Sect saw an opportunity to kill him, took it, but ended up killing his wife instead.” Her words were clear and explained the story thoroughly. She took a brief pause then continued, ”Master desired revenge. However, the weakened Vanishing Fiend Sect abandoned him. He took matters into his own hands and slaughtered countless Soaring Cloud Sect cultivators. After he broke through the Origin Core Realm, they were even more hell-bent on killing him. However, they'll probably subject him to many unique tortures before doing so.”
Han Genji's story was genuinely tragic. He was talented in a weakened sect; the enemy took advantage of that, and he lost his lover. His sect abandoned him so decisively and then left him to his own devices. Then, he ended up being captured by those very enemies who executed his lover.
Yan Zaizen's fist clenched, his feelings were so complex. Should he be angry, fueled by the desire for revenge? Should he be indifferent, ignoring these matters that don't really concern him? Or something else? He just didn't know. He did know that no matter what he felt and, at this moment, he didn't have any power to decide things.
Lin Feilin's eyes lit up. She reminded, ”You weren't close to Master. You have no obligation to be drawn into his death grudge for someone you barely knew. It is his true disciples' responsibility.” Her words were harsh but also somewhat true.
