The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 10 ~ The Story of Xiao Chen

All to be honest Xiao Chen's body was tensed up by the danger. The young man must always be careful or his life will end. That was how Xiao Chen thought at that moment.

After analyzing the circumstances and arguing with the figure that gave him the danger signal, all of those oddities were finally answered as well. Apparently the dangerous figure was just a child.

Xiao Chen's tension instantly subsided, various negative emotions instantly infiltrated into his heart. The soul of the boy was very bright. If Xiao Chen ate such a pure soul, then it was possible that his cultivation would instantly increase drastically.

There was an oddity around the boy, but Xiao Chen ignored him. When the boy said he wanted to replace his brother to be brought into a collision, of course Xiao Chen ignored him.

Basic naive.

It takes equal force for a deal to be done. In that case, Xiao Chen could kidnap Li Yao due to the huge difference in strength. He didn't have to make a deal with the boy.

Overwhelmed by greed, Xiao Chen lunged forward and then strangled Li Yao's neck. Li Yao smiled, it was a smile of victory. Xiao Chen did not know the reason the boy was smiling.

The boy had no chance to defeat him. What could a brat at the Qi gathering stage do?

[Soul-Eating Demon Arts - Soul Eater]

Li Yao's soul came out from his small body. Li Yao could feel his hands and feet being supplied with hot iron, while his body and neck were tied by frozen chains.

The preparations were finished, Li Yao's already shackled soul finally entered into Xiao Chen's body. Xiao Chen's soul world was dark, hundreds of souls screamed deafeningly at Li Yao.

The sound came from under the floor. As Li Yao lowered his head, he saw hundreds of souls swimming in the bloody water. The souls tried to reach Li Yao's body which was mounted on a circular pole.

The pole slowly moved down. Before Li Yao's feet could touch the sea of blood, the entire peg and chain that bound him in an instant instantly came loose.

Xiao Chen's figure appeared, he was surprised to see Li Yao's extremely unexpected deeds.

"Who are you? Where's the little boy?" xiao Chen asked in panic.

The young man did not see a small child, he only saw a tall, stern-faced old man break away from the shackles he had created.

Li Yao's soul form was indeed a tall, stern-faced old man. A hundred years ago, it was Li Yao's form before death to pick him up.

[Arts of the Fifth Chapter Heavenly Road - Path of Light]

A gigantic sword of light appeared above Li Yao's head. Li Yao quickly grasped the sword with both hands and swung it towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen tried to avoid the slash but failed. The sword of light grew larger as it slashed at Xiao Chen's soul, as a result of which the little Xiao Chen's soul was swallowed by the slash.

That light sword slowly purified Xiao Chen's soul. At the same time, Xiao Chen's entire life story suddenly replayed in his head.

It happened without Xiao Chen willing.

***

Xiao Chen has no father. The only family and interlocutors Xiao Chen had were his mother. His mother worked as a waitress in a restaurant, from morning until evening.

When his mother came home, Xiao Chen would spend a lot of time with his mother. It was their little happiness, what a simple happiness.

Xiao Chen's mother came from a distinguished family. She was expelled for not obeying her parents' orders, they did not want her mother to give birth to Xiao Chen.

When Xiao Chen was born, both of his mother's parents immediately severed their relationship with his mother. Every time he remembered that, Xiao Chen was immediately overwhelmed with guilt.

There are many problems in their lives, but they can always overcome them. When Xiao Chen was 10 years old, he tried to find a friend on the advice of his mother.

No one wanted to be Xiao Chen's friend. A dirty and smelly boy from the slums, all the children in the city ridiculed and shunned him.

Once a child insulted Xiao Chen's mother, Xiao Chen immediately got into a fight with the child. Xiao Chen should not have done that, it was the beginning of the misfortune that befell his family.

The boy's father was a wealthy merchant. Apparently the boy complained about Xiao Chen's actions to his father. At the escort, the boy's father came to Xiao Chen's house.

The boy's father asked for compensation and medical money for his son, but Xiao Chen and his mother could not afford the compensation.

"Then let me cut off your son's hand!" said the boy's father cynically.

"Sir, please forgive my son! I will do anything to pay for the compensation" Xiao Chen's mother said in a trembling voice.

Not only was her mother's voice trembling, her mother's body was trembling as well. Xiao Chen could feel it very clearly, because he was in his mother's arms.

That day, the boy's father brought Xiao Chen's mother. Xiao Chen continued to wait for his mother's return. His mother came home when the rooster was crowing.

That morning, his mother whipped Xiao Chen's back until it bled. It was a punishment given by his mother, Xiao Chen just silently endured the pain of the lash.

"If you are insulted, even if your mother is insulted, you should never repay them if you do not have the strength," said her mother tearfully, her hands whipping Xiao Chen's back.

Since that day, every two times a week Xiao Chen's mother always went home early in the morning blind. As their lives continued to go on, Xiao Chen gave up looking for a friend and did not care about any taunts uttered by the children.

Even when the children were harassing and beating him, Xiao Chen did not retaliate at all. She did not want to be a burden to her mother. His mother had difficulty meeting their needs.

"Chen'er, if your one wish can be granted, what would you ask for?" asked his mother, after Xiao Chen had spent dinner on the table.

"I just want to live a normal life with mom" Xiao Chen replied, after thinking for a while.

A few days after that, Xiao Chen saw the corpse of his mother being paraded towards him. Xiao Chen was petrified, his ears were ringing loudly.

Xiao Chen's world had now completely collapsed.

"Your mother is disgusting! How dare he flirt and sleep with my husband! Women like that... "
