Chapter 177: Say Everything You Have in Mind, I’m Listening (1/2)
Bai Xiaofei was slightly stunned when he saw the solemn look in Revelation’s eyes. He had not heard of Dark Death, but he could see from Revelation’s eyes that this term represented something important.
“Dark Death is the most mysterious organization on the continent and is also the biggest tumor plaguing it.” Revelation slowly explained, a trace of anger creeping onto his face. The more he talked, the more agitated he became. “They operate in an extremely secretive manner, and may be hidden anywhere around us. Even a neighbor who has been living next door for many years may be one of them. The moment their services are required, these hidden members will transform into wolves, killing all they need to kill.
“Over the years, any appearance of Dark Death has been followed by bloodshed. Each time they appear, people with considerable status die. Many people want to eliminate them, but nobody can. The melee combat technique you had demonstrated, the clean killing method, is a combat technique commonly used by the Dark Death members.”
Revelation stopped his explanation and fixed his gaze on Bai Xiaofei. As of this moment, Bai Xiaofei’s mind went completely blank.
After regaining it, he gulped and asked while staring blankly at Revelation, “Master, not even your Heavenly Secret Disk can locate them?”
It had been a while since he had first met Revelation. Through hearsay, he had gained an understanding of how powerful Revelation’s fortune telling ability was and now knew more about him.
“Nope. I tried many times, and every time I tried seeing anything related to the Dark Death, an incorporeal power would cut me off. A huge amount of origin energy is required to fight that power. With my strength, I can’t break through it.”
An intense self-blame was present in Revelation’s voice. It was as if he had recalled something painful.
“Master, can you wait?” Looking at the pain Revelation was in, Bai Xiaofei made a sudden request, stunning Revelation.
“Wait? What am I waiting for?” Revelation raised his head and looked at Bai Xiaofei with doubt in his eyes.
“I promise you that one day, I will find out everything about the Dark Death. Whatever they had done to you in the past, I will use my identity as your disciple and avenge you.”
For some reason, Bai Xiaofei had suddenly grown emotional, and he had made a vow that shocked even himself. On the other hand, after hearing his completely unreliable words, Revelation sank into a long silence.
“I have already waited for more than a century. Another century of waiting is nothing,” Revelation said with a laugh. He then picked up the cup of wine in front of him and downed it. “I had never noticed in the past that the wine of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant is actually this fine!”
Revelation was now intoxicated, not from the wine, but from his emotions. Over the years, this was the most pleasant drink he had had. This was also the only time Bai Xiaofei had ever become drunk since entering Starnet Academy. While they were drinking, Rui Mengqi arrived with some medicine. When she discovered Bai Xiaofei was fine, she placed down the medicine then silently left the room.
As of this moment, this room belonged to the master and disciple pair alone. By the time they staggered out of the restaurant, the sky was already dark. Revelation was as graceful as ever, and stepping onto his golden arrow, he flew away.
He was supposed to stay until Bai Xiaofei’s New Student Tournament was over. Unfortunately, he had suddenly received a message from the Revelation Pavilion that forced him to leave at an earlier date. Naturally, he did not forget to make Bai Xiaofei promise that he would be the New Student Tournament’s champion before leaving.
Of course, Bai Xiaofei was definitely planning to become the champion. After all, several billion Amethyst Coins were on the line here. How could he allow that much money escape him?
