Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: It’s Not Your Fault

Yu Yan looked at that familiar face, yet she felt an unparalleled sense of strangeness.

It was the face of the man who had saved her from a fiery pit, shielded her from the storms, raised her, and had been like a father and a teacher to her.

To Yu Yan, he was someone she could entrust her life to, someone whose mere word, even if it meant sacrificing her own life, would be enough for her.

Yu Yan had thought that this person could never deceive her, that he would always be her support. But now, seeing him, Yu Yan already knew that he was no longer the man she had imagined.

The man who should have been dead was now standing here, and everything was clear.

“Master, why?” Yu Yan, surprisingly, was not angry, but just calmly looked at him and asked.

“The Yu Family needs a successor, and the Sinister Path needs a leader. Lang Ya is not up to the task, so I chose you,” the man said indifferently.

“Why?” Yu Yan still repeated these three words.

“Lang Ya, no matter how inadequate, is my only bloodline; you shouldn’t have killed him. But this is not your fault, it’s mine, for letting it come to this,” the man continued.

Yu Yan, with a miserable smile, said, “I thought you understood me, Master. It seems I was wrong. It’s just as well. I owe you my life; now, I will give it back to you.”

“Travel well.” The man drew that eerie weapon, piercing through Yu Yan’s heart from front to back; blood gushed out instantly.

Yu Yan was an Immortal from the Heavenly Law Realm. Normally, such wounds would quickly stop bleeding on their own, but the blood from this wound not only didn’t stop, it flowed even more fiercely.

Yu Yan staggered, unable to stand steadily, and fell backward into Jade Refinement Mountain.

“Master… you really didn’t die…” Yu Langya saw the man walking toward the Heavenly Refining Jade Furnace and said joyfully.

Many years of habit made him use the term “Master” rather than a closer term.

Yu Xuanji glanced at Yu Langya inside the Heavenly Refining Jade Furnace and sighed lightly, “After all these years, you still haven’t progressed at all. I gave you resources ten times more than what Yu Yan had, helped you so much, yet you are still far inferior to Yu Yan, not even having reached the Heavenly Law Realm. This situation is also difficult for you; it’s not your fault, I should have made you stronger.”

“Father.” Yu Langya bowed his head in shame.

Yu Xuanji waved his hand, and the lid of the Heavenly Refining Jade Furnace was forcibly lifted by an invisible force, releasing Yu Langya and several other Immortals who had been trapped inside.

“Sect Master, it’s great that you’re still alive. We pledge to follow you to the death and rejuvenate the Sinister Path with you…” As soon as a few people emerged, they hastily saluted Yu Xuanji.

“These years must have been hard on you,” Yu Xuanji sighed.

“As long as we can follow you, Sect Master, we are willing to do anything. If it weren’t for that wretched woman Yu Yan, we would never have left the Sinister Path. Now that you are back, that’s all that matter…” Before one of them could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed, and the bizarre, foot-long weapon in Yu Xuanji’s hand pierced from his left ear and went out the right, instantly killing him.

After pulling out the weapon, blood and brain matter spewed from the man’s eyes as he fell dead straight to the ground.

“Sect Master… why… if there was anything we did wrong… we can make amends…” The remaining Immortals were terrified and retreated.

“It’s not your fault; it is all my mistake. I shouldn’t let you see me, shouldn’t let you know that I am still alive in this world. All this is my fault, it has nothing to do with you; you’ve all done very well,” Yu Xuanji said, his figure flickering, already in front of another Immortal, stabbing that Immortal’s head with the strange weapon.

The remaining Immortals were terrified, desperately turning to flee.

The Earth Law Realm Immortals, killed right before him, couldn’t even react, which was truly terrifying.

They wanted to escape, but where could they escape to? Yu Xuanji was like an omnipresent ghost, appearing next to each desperately fleeing Immortal, the strange weapon in his hand piercing their heads with deadly accuracy each time.

Powerful Immortals, in front of Yu Xuanji, were like chickens and dogs, unable to escape their fate of being killed in one strike.

In the blink of an eye, five of the six Immortals had been killed, brains pierced and dead where they fell. Only one was so terrified he didn’t dare try to flee. Seeing Yu Xuanji appear in front of him, he knelt down and kowtowed desperately, tears and snot flowing: “Sect Master, spare my life… I am Xu Youqi… you personally raised me… I respect you like a father… whoever you want me to kill, I will kill… whatever you want me to do, I will do… Please, spare my life… I will definitely not speak of today’s events… yes yes… I have never seen you… really, I have never seen you…”

Yu Xuanji squatted down, touching the man’s head, and sighed, “Youqi, I remember when I first brought you into the Sinister Path, you were just at the Crystal Base Level, and now so many years have passed, and you have even become Immortal.”

“If it were not for Sect Master’s cultivation, I wouldn’t have reached this day either, everything I have is given by you, Sect Master. You are like a father and a brother to me, I will respect you as I do Lang Ya, you can consider me your own son…” Xu Youqi hurriedly said, his face still covered in tears and snot, yet he forced a smile.

Yu Xuanji, however, extended a finger to seal his lips: “Don’t say that, you reached today because of your own abilities and ambitions, it doesn’t have much to do with me. Truthfully, I am sorry, with your talent and abilities, if you could live for a few more decades, maybe you might have had a chance to enter the Heavenly Law Realm, which would have been far better than Lang Ya…”

“Sect Master… spare me… please… spare me… I really can do anything for you… I truly…” Xu Youqi’s face turned pale with terror, his body shaking uncontrollably, but he didn’t dare confront Yu Xuanji, his body seeming to spasm, shaking, but unable to move.

“My child… I’m sorry… don’t look… it’ll be over quickly… it’ll be over soon… there won’t be any pain…” Yu Xuanji covered Xu Youqi’s eyes.

“Sect Master… please… don’t kill me… I am willing to do… anything…” as Xu Youqi spoke his last word, his head was pierced by the strange weapon, his body immediately stopped shaking, eyes wide open, falling straight to the ground, red and white matter spilling from the hole in his skull.
