Fortune

Inside Ye Shie spiritual mind, a huge divine crystal hovering in the middle of it, while a middle-aged handsome old man, with a fierce and domineering aura stood in front of it.

Earlier, after being shot at by the divine crystal, Ye Shie was forceful, summoned in his spiritual mind.

"Kugh! It seems that my escape has failed" the man mumbled himself while looking at his weak spiritual body.

Then he looked at Yie Shie's spiritual body, which is in a form of a blue tiny flame.

The man after looking at Yie Shie, released a terrifying pressure, which causes this tiny flame to almost flicker out of its existence.

Looking at Yie Shie's body outside, he screamed while holding his head, in deep pain as if someone has put a ton of weight in his mind causing his mind to be slowly leading towards destruction.

Inside the spiritual head, the man was astonished 'it seems that the divine crystal chose him for a reason, huh, It seems like my plan to posses him failed.' the man was slightly dejected from failing again and again since he got the crystal.

After a while of contemplation, the man walked towards the weak soul flame, then he spoke

"Kid! I'll gift you with something, but first you need to promise me something." the man proposed

The soul flame looked upwards as if looking towards that man "w-what is it?" the soul flame spoke while withstanding the pressure the man produces.

"Hoh! you can still speak huh? It seems that I only have a trillionth of what left of me now huh," The man mumbled then he said "I'll give you my experience, all of it, my battle experience, my cultivation experience, all of it can be yours, as long as after you've reached 'that place' and obtained a very powerful cultivation base, you need to revive my wife, Xiao Fei in the Dragon God Continent" the man went silent as if remembering the moments their happy moments together, after a while "I need you to promise me this."

The man was ready to forcefully invoke a heavenly soul oath, with all of what's left in his powers, if Ye Shie disagrees, 'This is my only chance, to at least let her live happily. It's because of me she died, it's because of me...' dejectedly he prepared himself.

A heavenly Soul Oath is an oath in which, both parties have to fulfill what was promised, if one party doesn't then the heavens will destroy their soul, shattering it to pieces.

Ye Shie after considering his situation ' If I don't agree, this uncle might be mad at me and will continue to exert more pressure...I don't want that' He thought 'and besides, everybody's gone anyways, what more can I lose' thinking up to this point he became sad.

"Alright uncle, I will" the soul flame spoke

"Good then calm your mind and don't object" the man relieved at his decision replied.

Then a golden light formed above his head like a sun, afterwards the light slowly dimmed and formed a seal on top of his spiritual mind, like a star in the sky, a lonely and desolate star.

Ye Shie was relieved that the pressure the man released was finally gone, and the man after seeing that the oath has been formed, sighed in relief too.

Then the man spake, "In my final gift after I disappear from this world" the man spoke gloomily " I'll help you with your situation right now, you just relax, I'll help you. Count this as my final gift for you." he suggested

Ye Shie, contemplated for a bit, tired at what happened today, after losing his mother, and his village, agreed.

Then the flickering man touched the tiny soul flame.

Outside, Fang Empire, Of the once South Autumn Village,

13 figures all wearing black leather armor, are rushing towards a kid, the kid wearing a hunting suit, with a bow and quiver in his back, eyes golden as if possessed, unaware of his surroundings.

Then the golden eyes returned to their previous color.

"Oh! A divine body, so that's why" the kid mumbled, "Hahahaha! With this, Xiao Fei's chances of revival increases" the kid laughed as if unaware of the 13 figures drawing closer towards him.

Then after those 13 figures reached 100 meters range of the kid, the kid moved, he picked up "What!? A peak mortal dao in archery?" The kid exclaimed shocked by this discovery, then he laughed again "Hahahahahaha!! Xiao Fei you will be revived again my love, sorry for not being there with you" the kid said dejectedly

The 13 figures, after seeing the kid laughed and talked to himself, showed pity towards the kid, thinking he became insane, then they saw the kid nocked the arrow on the bow, and that was the final sight they saw before they all were pierced in the head.

---

Unknown to everyone, after the kid drew the arrow, two figures appeared above the crater, and seeing the situation below caused a grim expression on their faces.

"Principal Hao, go save the kid, I'll scan the surroundings," the middle-aged man said to the white-robed elderly next to him.

"..." the white-robed elderly, eyes shocked at was he was seeing, remained silent.

"Principal Hao?" seeing the shocked expression of this elderly, who always maintained a calm expression, even if heaven and earth were to fall apart.

Looking at the scene below, the once calm expression on his face, was changed by disbelief and shock.

14 figures, 1 standing while his hands were bleeding, 13 corpses, all with an arrow in the head.

Both of them rushed towards the kid, then the first to break the silence was Principal Hao, he said "Xiao kid, this kid is mine, don't argue with this old bones of mine." he said to the other man.

"Principal Hao...hehe how about if I give you the 6th tier spirit pill, will you give this kid to the Xiao Clan?" the Xiao City lord bargained.

"No!" Principal Hao objected, determined at keeping this kid at his side.

The Xiao City Lord, seeing the determined look of Principal Hao sighed, 'Damn it! I should've come alone!' the Xiao City Lord sighed, dejected by the situation.

Principal Hao, upon seeing the city lord conceded, smiled showing his pearly white teeth.

"Alright, since this kid was found by the both of us, how about I'll let you take care of him till he is 15, afterward bring him to the Heavenly Star Academy, for me to apprentice with" Principal Hao chuckled giving the City Lord some face.

Hearing the old man's suggestion, the City Lord's eyes beamed, nodding his head energetically, as if a kid hearing that his grandpa will buy him candy.

"Ehem" Principal Hao, coughed upon seeing the City Lord's reaction.

Hearing the cough, the city lord woke up from his stupor and remembering his previous action made him smile apologetically.
