The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 103 - Wu Guang's Tomb
The next morning Xiang Yi Bai took him to a separate place within the Gorge of Regret, a place that Xue Zhan had never thought of for a second.
At the base of the Gorge of Regret there is a hidden place in the form of ice caves protected by a group of white dragons created by Xiang Yi Bai. The cemetery looked beautiful by ice carvings that never melted even though the air was so hot at the bottom of the gorge. After becoming Xiang Yi Bai's disciple, Xue Zhan asked to visit the grave of the man's good friend and Xiang Yi Bai agreed.
The coldness in the cave made Xue Zhan feel frozen, to reach the place where Xiang Yi Bai's friend was buried required a long distance and winding.
Until they finally reached the deepest part of the Ice Cave, Xue Zhan was stunned to see the only tomb with a memorial stone made of clear ice crystals. Engraved someone's name there, Wu Guang.
Xiang Yi Bai let out a voice.
"If he's still alive, you can call him Uncle Master. Unfortunately he's quiet in nature there."
Xue Zhan bent his knees. "Uncle Master, my name is Xue Zhan, today I have become Master Xiang Yi Bai's student. Although we have never met each other face to face but from Teacher Xiang's story you must be a very good person."
He put his forehead up in the snow. "Rest in peace, Uncle Master."
Then Xiang Yi Bai spoke, "After becoming my disciple you will inherit the knowledge and become the sole successor of the Thousand Tree Mountain School. You must be prepared to bear this responsibility. Otherwise, that Uncle Master you said well would have scraped his grave to bury you."
"Well, I'll try my best!" Xue Zhan was really nervous before Wu Guang's tomb, there was an aura of its own that he could not ignore. Xiang Yi Bai laughed for a moment, his angry faces disappearing while they were at the tomb of his best friend.
"Is losing a friend that painful?"
Unexpectedly the sudden question made Xiang Yi Bai's countenance a little serious, he stared at Xue Zhan's after-goals until the young man started to think he was wrongly asked and straightened out.
"Forget my question, Master. I'm flabbergasted."
Xiang Yi Bai threw a glance at Wu Guang's tombstone while saying. "Losing the only person you trust is a painful blow to anyone."
Within a few seconds Xue Zhan's turn turned serious, considering that someone who was last so angry with him and at the same time wanted him to stay alive. Last time, he said Xue Zhan was the only person he trusted the most.
What happened to Jiazhen Yan after learning of his death? Seeing Xiang Yi Bai slump like this, he was worried that the demon also felt the same way and blamed himself. The shadow when he saw Jiazhen Yan wielding a sword full of blood and hollow eyes flashed.
"When you're with people you trust, you love the world and the rest. On the contrary, when you lose them, you curse the whole earth because of your suffering. Life is the same as the weather, it can be predicted, but often get different results. I once thought I would spend the rest of my life quietly in the Thousand Tree Mountain, but fate says otherwise."
His tone sounded slurred. "I instead spent the rest of my life in the abyss like a kingpin and mourned the death of my comrade while drinking wine. The only thing not taken from me is sanity."
Xue Zhan only wanted to encourage the man not to constantly grieve, since he brought up his past, Xiang Yi Bai was rarely angry. Just thinking of comforting him, Xue Zhan instantly unbundled the intention. It was basically Xiang Yi Bai, there was no day without being bullied.
"But now the tip of my sanity wick is on fire when this rotten boy comes along. Hey, Wu Guang. You see how stupid my new student is. Shrimp is smarter than him. Mastering just one movement is not capable."
Xue Zhan held the half-dead hunk, it was possible that Xiang Yi Bai mocked him in front of Wu Guang's tomb.
"But you have a resemblance, seeing this child's stupid face reminds me of you."
Xiang Yi Bai turned his head towards Xue Zhan and almost chuckled at the annoyed face of his disciple. He held onto Xue Zhan's head and forced him down.
"That's ... Guru-" he said. "Teacher didn't tell me exactly what moves I learned this week."
"Oh! Want to know the name of the movement?"
Xue Zhan replied enthusiastically. "Sure!"
"The Movement to Catch Rabbits!" slab answer.
Xue Zhan's mouth opened, Xiang Yi Bai wasn't joking. If you remember how he moves it is like he is catching something.
Just catching a rabbit has its movements and has to be trained thousands of times? Xue Zhan could faint.
"Well, well, I told you you'd die twice. Be stubborn!"
Today Xue Zhan had only been overturned once, there were still 19 remaining times. Hope his face doesn't turn into a duck.
Xue Zhan grimaced, they came out of the Ice Cave. The ice door closed on its own. Xiang Yi Bai stared at the door and turned towards Xue Zhan beside him. "You asked me if losing a friend was that painful? Why don't you imagine when your closest friend went through what you're going through right now?"
Then Xiang Yi Bai left earlier than him, leaving Xue Zhan in silence.

The roar of breath was chasing each other with the footsteps of a man in a jungle, a heavy weapon in his hand against the trees. The fight on that bloody night was fierce. Someone in the Ghost Jade Tower clothes darted down from the tree branch and pierced the opponent's heart into the.
The two stood side by side, Ghost Gnawed opened their eyes wide and as soon as a lot of black blood came out of his mouth. Someone in the Ghost Jade Tower clothes pulled back his sword. A red flash appeared behind the eye hole of the mask, the Ghosts of Gnawing.
A mysterious person who used the name Ghost Jade Tower and created chaos in Diqiu Empire had come to find the Ghost Blower hiding in the secret headquarters. He took his life without mercy. Yet in the seconds before his death the Ghosts of the Warden spoke.
"Who are you really?!"
"Substantial Laws of the Sky."
Penggerogot's ghost collapsed as well as convulsing, not expecting this would be the end of his life. The figure opened the mask slowly, Ghost Gnawed looking at the face in shock.
"You—?!" he strangled her until not how long her life was gone.
A paper engraved with the blood of the Ghost Borer was lying on top of the man's corpse.
The morning leading up to the Ghosts of the North and the Ghosts of Eleven Fingers came in a hurry before finding one of their comrades had become a cold corpse and was killed sadistically, the, they were shocked half to death and trembled as they read the paper left on their friend's corpse containing a threatening sentence,
'Next is You!'
