CHAPTER 65
After Dongfang Yue kissed him, he remembered something he didn't want to remember.
Michael remembered her words clearly, that day, when she broke up with him.
-Flashback-
On top of the rooftop, the wind blows quietly as Michael stared at the once beautiful girl he saw in his everyday life. The one who supported him from any situation since he was 15.
"Why?" He simply asked as his tears trickled down his face.
"I need to find myself, please understand that" The Girl said coldly.
"Why do I need to understand that!? I was there for you and you were there for me, why!? We promised!" Michael yelled at her as his tears rained down on his face, his feelings were in disarray.
"I'm sorry" The girl apologized before she walk away and went to the door leading down on a staircase.
Michael knelt down on the cold hard ground. Right now, he wanted to give up on everything, he wanted to... kill himself.
"We stayed together for almost two years, and yet, you left so easily, as if everything we did was nothing for you" He muttered as he walk towards the end of the rooftop, where the safety railings stood on the cold hard floor.
He jumped on top of railings and stood on top of it before he look down on the far ground from below. If he were to fall from this height, he will surely die.
He look up towards the endless sea of clouds and thought about the good times he had with her. The time when they were smiling to each other while watching Netflix, the time when they went to the amusement park, where she devoured all the cotton candy present in the shop.
Suddenly, he thought about his single mother. Wanona Wilson.
'If I were die, what will happen to her?' He suddenly thought.
Michael shook his head and said to himself "Why are you killing yourself over a girl that doesn't care for you, Michael? If she can disregard our relationship like that, then she doesn't deserve my love. She is worthless"
He glance down the rooftop and saw the girl walking with a handsome guy while her arms were clinging on the guy's arm. She was smiling like nothing happened, like he was nothing.
Michael coldly look at them, as his eyes turned something akin to an abyss before it turned back to normal.
He made a poem that corresponds to his feelings at the moment.
"For even if my heart is barren of affections, Nothing shall forestall my return"
That day, he promised not to fall in love with someone ever again.
-Flashback End-
That's right, he promised not to fall in love ever again. Being entrance by a beauty is fine, but being in love is a completely different thing.
Dao Partners? Wifies? Lover? Who cares about those? It doesn't matter whether a person falls in love with another person, as long as they don't bother him, everything is fine.
She traded him for another guy, so what's the point of thinking about her now? She treated him with indifference, so he would do the same.
Michael was knock out from his stupor, when Daiyu patted him on his right shoulder. He turned his head towards Daiyu.
She looked quite flustered as she tried to look at him calmly.
"What?" He asked.
"D-Did you know who you just kissed!? That was Dongfang Yue, the hundred year genius! It was rumored that she learned and mastered 10 different Black Manuals" Daiyu said excitingly.
"So? Why are you making a big fuss about it?" Michael asked uncaringly.
"Don't you know? Her father is one of the three great generals of Grass City!" Daiyu said in glee.
"Why are you so excited about it?" Michael asked her in bewilderment.
"Well, I would like to know, if you like her?" She asked bashfully.
"No, not even close" Michael replied coldly.
"What!? Why!?" She was stupefied as to why this person in front of her, doesn't like Dongfang Yue. I mean, everyone will cut their own arm just to shake their hands with her, but this guy obviously doesn't care.
"Can you stop asking? It's getting annoying" Michael said with annoyance evident in his voice.
She bowed her head down in shame and apologize "Sorry"
The Waiters suddenly came out of the kitchen and carried 10 trays full of food.
"I guess it's time to eat" Michael said with a soft smile on his face.
"Un!" Jing Fei replied happily.
Daiyu softly smiled at Jing Fei before digging in.
-1 Hour Later-
After eating their fill, all of them went out of the restaurant and continued to travel to the City Lord's Mansion, where the City Lord resided.
But suddenly, a fat man appeared in front of them with a few guards behind him. He smirk at them smugly, before saying.
"You are all under arrest for killing private soldiers inside the City" The fat man said.
"Who are you?" Michael asked coldly.
"Hmph! To dare not to know my name, for that I will be taking that woman by your side for myself" The fat man said lewdly as he went towards Daiyu, but Michael stopped him in his tracks with his right hand.
"What are you doing? Don't you know who I am!? I am the Chief Guard of this City, and yet you dare to touch me!?" The Chief Guard said furiously as his fats jingled inside his clothes.
"It's good that you're here, I am quite angry at myself at the moment, so you will be my punching bag" Michael said with a smirk.
"Wha-" He was cut off when he saw thousands of shadowy blades coming from every direction, where the shadows resided.
"My shadows are extremely agitated right now, and I am pretty sure you will like them" Michael said darkly as his shadow blades rose upwards and pierced the wind as they slashed so fast towards the Chief Guard, that even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator won't be able to see them.
The Shadows controlled the blades like they were like a whip. Thousands of slashes later, the Chief Guard was no more.
In his place was a puddle of blood, no organs nor limbs was in the blood, just pure red blood.
He was cutted so fast, that any solid part of his body is gone, all that left was a puddle of blood.
Michael look at the other guards with his abyss like-eyes darkly, before they were quickly killed by their own shadows. In the form of decapitation.
Right now, Daiyu is extremely scared at Michael, those shadows were like hands that drags you down towards the abyss. She just couldn't think that something like that was real.
But Jing Fei was different, she was smiling happily. She ran towards Michael and hugged him.
"Thank you for saving us again, big brother" She said her gratitude towards him innocently.
Michael petted her cute little head and smiled smiled softly at the little girl's innocence.
Michael took a glance at Daiyu and said "Let's go" He walk towards the empty street and kept walking.
Daiyu carried Jing Fei into her arms and followed Michael.

At The Place Where Michael Massacred The Two Sects.
_____________
At the place where Michael Massacred the Black and Blossom Flowers Sect, 4 men and 4 women were standing in the middle of the forest, frowning. Thousands of arms, legs, heads, organs, and puddles of blood were in the scene.
These are the Ancestors of the Black and Blossom Flowers. They traveled for two months just to see... this... this... horrifying scene.
They couldn't think that, someone was strong enough to massacre their Disciples and Elders singlehandedly.
"This is unforgivable!" One beautiful Ancestor of the Blossom Flowers Sect screamed in rage.
"In my three thousand years of life, this is the fourth time I saw something like this" The oldest Ancestor of the Black Sect said while frowning.
"Why would he do something like this?" The Second Ancestor of the Black Sect asked them.
"I don't know, but that masked Man has offended the Lightning Emperor badly" The First Ancestor of the Blossom Flowers Sect said in a calm yet furious voice.
"The Lightning Emperor was enraged by the fact, his army got annihilated by one man" The third ancestor of the Black Sect said frowning.
"Even though we are still called a "Sect" but that's in name only, we have no more disciples nor elders back in the Sect, that's why we need to hunt down the masked man to get our Disciples vengeance" The Fourth Ancestor of the Black Sect said furiously.
"Don't be hasty, we still don't know how strong he is. If he can do something like this, then maybe he is in the Ensoulment Stage" The Third Ancestor of the Black Sect theorise.
"That is almost impossible, Ensoulment Stage Cultivators are rare, in fact it's so rare that the number of Ensoulment Cultivator in the five Empires are only around 100" The Second Ancestor of the Blossom Flowers Sect denied.
"It doesn't matter whether he is an Ensoulment Stage Cultivator or a Weak one, but what does matter is how we are going to hunt him down!" The First Ancestor of the Black Sect said overbearingly while releasing the aura of a Ensoulment Stage Lvl 7 Cultivator.
All of their faces turned serious when they heard the First Ancestor's words.
Right now, the First Ancestor of the Black Sect is the strongest out of the eight of them.
The First Ancestor opened his mouth and a black beetle came out of it. It had a horn protruding from it's head, two metal like wings that shines under the scorching sun, and a shiny body being reflected by the light of the sun.
"This is the Tracking Black Beetle, I have been keeping it as my beast pet for awhile. It can track anyone who we want to meet, even if we don't know the person's name or face" The First Ancestor said.
They watch as he whispered something to the Tracking Black Beetle before he released it to skies.
"Quickly, follow it" The First Ancestor said as he jump and flew in the direction where the beetle is going.
All of them look at each other before nodding and followed suit.
