Chapter 59 The Castle Part 5
”The Clear Mage wasn't who you think he was” Daniel said to the girl
The petite girl looked at him with confusion, and asked ”What do you mean?”
Daniel took a deep breath, and started to explain ”The Dark Warrior and Clear Mage weren't a couple of powerful cultivators like the legend says The version recorded in your fa The Dark Warrior was the Clear Mage's father” He then paused for athe new inforirl asked ”Even if that is true, why shouldn't I free him?”
”Because he was an evil practitioner, that's why his father trapped hiirl's brows furrowed underneath her mask, and before she could respond, a third voice resounded in the air
”He is lying” Said the old man whom Daniel had previously met in the rooo, and while in search of our patriarch's inheritance, i've ended up being trapped by the same fore!”
He then looked at the petite girl, and said ”Please extract the sword and break the foro back hoe, I presu at the old man ”You know, after all i've seen so far I've been breaking ure out a way to destroy this formation, and you with it”
”I have no idea what you are talking about” Said the old”I've seen your father's intentions of killing you More than once But nohimself to do it Because of your father's love, you were allowed to grow up and develop your sick ideas”
While talking, Daniel sloalked around hi the old man's movements and reactions
”You were a talented cultivator I'll give you that But your nature couldn't be suppressed, no matter how much you tried When you found that vicious path of cultivation, you abandoned your hu spree Your father hated hie in your sick method of cultivation”
”STOP LYING!” Shouted the old”Don't listen to what he is saying Remember the reason why he is here, why everybody is here! It's his greed”
”It was the death of your mother” Said Daniel
As the old man heard these feords, he immediately looked toward Daniel
”Your father reached a breaking point And prepared a trap for you Your et you back home So after she died, he waited for you to arrive to pay your respects to your late mother” Said Daniel with a matter-of-fact tone
The bony hands of the old e sleeves
”You knew it Since the mooing to trap you here So you did so about it With all the power you had, you had certainly traveled far and wide There was sied to trap you here” Daniel wasn't exactly sure how the Clear Mage hadtrapped here, so he stopped for a few moments, to allow the old irl
The oldvoice ”Stop listening to hi!”
Unfortunately, the old man didn't break under pressure It was only when Daniel involuntarily approached the large double door that he saw a reaction
The oldpeeks at hirew on Daniel's face as he started talking ”Of course Now I knohat happened It's your mother's casket”
A shi+ver run down the old man's spine
”The moment you threw yourself at your mother's casket You've left part of your spirit and consciousness in it So instead of being siet of the formation, you've also become part of it” Said Daniel
The old man lifted his hand slowly, and took his hood off Underneath, was a disgusting half decomposed face Yet, on the still relatively intact part of his face, Daniel could see a large s man I was so close this time HAHAHA!” The old man didn't seem to be nervous or scared Instead, he looked like he had just been found out cheating at a sihtened his clothes, and as if co clean with his funny con, he said ”I reo, the first one of these idiots came to find me I reckon he would have failed spectacularly had he not brought aelse Just like you So powerful and talented that he ed to destabilize this whole for about one of my brothers” Said Sewah inside Daniel's mind
Daniel looked at the old uess you can prevent us fro started” Said Daniel
”Well, I happen to be only able to enjoy a few conversations per decade, so I don't see why not” The old man then started to recount the story of how the tourna to hiue spirit within the fornificantly Every ten years, the forh to allow him to take partial control over it
The point in tie had control of the for one of these episodes, one of his descendent, accoed to destabilize the for out of the fictitious space” possible
When the first of his descendant ue spirit attempted to take possession of his body
It was doable, but thanks to the help of that unbelievably talented cultivator, he had failed miserably
Fros He could take possession only of his descendants, and he needed people with an unbelievable talent to stress the already defective formation, to allow people into the real cataco the real catacomb, he would ask to extract the sword from the heart, and free him Unfortunately, that was easier said than done, as unless an unbelievably cultivator was present to disrupt the formation, none of them would be able to enter the true catacomb, and would be stuck in the fictitious one instead
Unfortunately for him, the amount of talent necessary to obtain that reaction, was soht possible, and one of these people, for all he knew, ht be born once every hundreds of thousands of years
It didn't take long for an idea to pop into his head He would send cultivators out in the world to tell the story of the Clear Mage and Dark Warrior inheritance, just to attract as many cultivators as possible
Tens of thousands of years passed slowly, until finally, only four thousands years ago, the ancestor of the petite girl's fa with a cultivator of unbelievable talent
The Clear Mage still wasn't aware of the effects that destroying the forue spirit and consciousness, so instead of convincing hie took control over his descendant's body
Only later did he found out that, re the soul himself would not work, as the core part of the formation rejected him no matter what body he possessed
For the next four thousand years, he waited for another occasion
That occasion presented itself with Daniel
”A double path cultivator We are similar you and i! We both cultivate two paths Hehehe” Said the old”Now I have a question What betrayed me? I knew, since the moment I have told you that I would have taken you as my disciple From your reaction, I was sure that you hadn't believed ht above the old
”I can see right through you” He said with a matter-of-fact voice
That number, was 1,623,772,167 and it was blood red in color
”Well, fair enough! Who am I to understand all the trick a monstrosity like you has in store” Said the old”Anyway, I can only kill both of you, and wait for the next tiirl and added ”Oh, i'll be taking your body as well” He said while parting his rotting lips and showing a set of black teeth
Daniel looked at him and said ”Wait a second, don't you want to see my last trick?”
The old lasses you are trying to cli to save you” He said
