872 A Gif (2/2)

”Alright! You should go!” Huang Xie waved his hand.

”Ahh! Uncle, please take care of yourself!” Jiang Fei had no choice but to leave since Huang Xie was not going to accept his advice.

”Hehe, you keep calling me your uncle, but I have nothing to give you. Now that you are leaving, I would like to give you a simple gift!” Just as Jiang Fei was able to leave, Huang Xie stopped him.

”A gift?” Jiang Fei was stunned. Huang Xie was in his spirit form, and he did not have any belongings. Could he mean something else?

While Jiang Fei was still in a dazed state, Huang Xie's body began to catch fire.

”Young fellow! I have nothing valuable to give you. Now that you are leaving, I would like to help you in completing the Lord's quest!” Huang Xie's body was already burned halfway through. However, he still kept a smile on his face when he looked at Jiang Fei.

”Uncle…” Jiang Fei felt something in his throat. He was suddenly unable to say anything. Of course, he knew that Huang Xie did not choose to die because of their relationship. However, Huang Xie was sacrificing his own life for the entire Human race. As Jiang Fei was the best candidate for the Quest Against the Heavens, Huang Xie decided to give up his life so that Jiang Fei could progress on behalf of the entire Human race.

”Please send my regards to my big brother! Tell him that I had never wanted to betray the Human race!” Huang Xie said his final words.

Very soon, Huang Xie's spirit was completely burned away. The only thing that remained was a piece of his Soul Mark.

As one of the previous Four Sages of the Heavens, Huang Xie cared deeply about the Human race. Although he had made a grave mistake, he had spent his entire life trying to make the Human race great. In the end, he still died for the Human race's sake, and yet he had to bear the bad reputation of a traitor.

”Uncle, don't worry. If I succeed in the Quest Against the Heavens, I will surely make your intentions known!” Jiang Fei promised in his heart.

After picking up Huang Xie's Soul Mark, Jiang Fei walked out of the cave. Although he had completed his quest, he did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

”Master, consider Huang Xie as being set free from his misery,” Akatziris said.

”Ah! Let's go!” Jiang Fei sighed. He immediately activated the Return Scroll.

After returning to the city, Jiang Fei did not return to the Emperor Poseidon's Palace. Instead, he directly teleported to Dawnlight City.

After reaching Dawnlight City, Jiang Fei headed straight to the run-down blacksmith's workshop. Indeed, that was where he found Ou Yezi.

Ou Yezi was not dressed in his golden armor. Instead, he looked like a homeless person with scrappy clothing. He was holding a piece of chicken in one hand and a bottle of alcohol in the other. He seemed very tipsy.

”Are you back?” Ou Yezi glanced at Jiang Fei.

”Yeah!” Jiang Fei nodded.

”Is he dead?” Ou Yezi sounded as if he was asking about someone completely unrelated. However, Jiang Fei could notice tears forming in his eyes.
