邪神之道 B1

An Explosion of Worries

"Hmph."

Seeing Ye Gui Feng running away so quickly Long Huangrong stores away her flintlock pistol.

"Damn San Xiao... What are you up to trying to comfort me huh? Hmph."

Long Huangrong puffs her cheeks. There was no way for one to tell what kind of face she is currently making under the cover of the night's shade.

Meanwhile Ye Gui Feng continues to run until he eventually stops in front of a tree that he uses as support. His breathing is erratic as he pants in pain with his entire body soaked up in sweat.

The moment that that bullet flew by his head Ye Gui Feng almost saw his entire life flash before his eyes.

"That bitch is insane...!"

Ye Gui Feng turns around and presses his back against the trunk of the tree and slides down to a sitting position.

"Seriously I nearly had my head blown off... I-I... Uuu..."

This time tears finally leaked out of his eyes as Ye Gui Feng legitimately cries in sorrow.

"Heaven why must you treat me so!? What did I do to offend you!?"

Ye Gui Feng screams towards the night time skies loudly in outrage.

"Don't tell me that it was because I attempted to make a move on the main heroine that the heavens became unhappy with me and decided to have a bullet go by my head... If that's the case this is just... So unreasonable! I was just trying to be a good person!"

Ye Gui Feng feels like he had been accused of a just act. This was far too unreasonable.

With tears coming out of his eyes Ye Gui Feng pulls out the Chrysanthemum of the Bloody Moon.

"Ah Xiao Ju Hong I nearly lost my life today. That bitch really does want me dead. At this rate won't I be bullied to death?"

Ye Gui Feng gently pets the florets of the chrysanthemum lovingly like a pet while talking out his sorrows with tears in his eyes that refused to stop flowing.

The sense of comfort that the red chrysanthemum bring to Ye Gui Feng makes him extremely happy to have it nearby.

"No, this can't continue. I need to find a way to distant myself from here. The closer that I am to her the easier it will be for me to die..."

Ye Gui Feng sighs heavily while trying to think of an idea but he came up with none.

"Hm?"

Just as Ye Gui Feng is thinking of which route to take a thin beam of light comes out of the chrysanthemum. It seems to be pointing towards somewhere.

"Is it trying to take me somewhere?"

Ye Gui Feng tilts his head while putting on a puzzled expression on his face. Although there was a sense of fear Ye Gui Feng decided to follow this beam of light in the end.

From what Ye Gui Feng had read about this red chrysanthemum it will aid its master in many different ways. One of them is giving guidance when one is lost much like in this situation.

.....................................................................................................................

Long Huangrong returns back to camp and prepares to tell everyone that it was time to move on.

"Where's that San Xiao?"

"He didn't come back with you?"

Elder Shu looks back at Long Huangrong with surprise.

"No."

"..."

Anxiousness, worry, fear, dread, all kinds of emotions well up within Elder Shu's heart as his eyes instantly turn bloodshot! Seemingly older as his face pales Elder Shu stumbles as he takes a few steps back.

"Th-This..."

"Don't tell me he ran off to somewhere else after I sent a bullet towards him..."

"Y-Y-You... Argh!"

As much as Elder Shu wanted to reprimand Long Huangrong while holding up a trembling finger he couldn't as Long Huangrong is after all the sect master's daughter.

"Damn San Xiao me beating you is giving you face and you actually ran off?"

Biting the bottom of her lips worry can be seen in Long Huangrong's eyes.

"Scatter! Look for that damnable Ye Gui Feng! We're not leaving until we find him!"

All the disciples along with the remaining elders are all puzzled by the sudden order. It was only just one disciple so why the need to be so anxious?

"Quickly!"

Every single person reluctantly complied with this order upon seeing the seriousness on Long Huangrong's face. Immediately every single person scattered outwards to look for Ye Gui Feng.

As the remaining forces of the Burial Grounds Sect are out looking for him Ye Gui Feng continues to follow after the direction that the chrysanthemum is showing him towards.

"Will there be some kind of powerful magic treasure up ahead?"

Ye Gui Feng licks his lips in excitement while moving along ignorant of the fact that both Long Huangrong and Elder Shu are both out here anxiously going all out to search for his whereabouts.

The thought of Xie Mo Xin returning in the future to decimate the Burial Grounds Sect for not taking care of his disciple made Elder Shu almost vomit blood.

"Ah if that old devil comes back we're finished! No one can escape from his grasp!"

Long Huangrong doesn't know about the matter that concerns Xie Mo Xin but she knew that this is her fault.

"Damnable San Xiao. You told me to not blame myself and now look at what you've done! When I find you I'll... I'll step on you a few times!"

Feng Jian Yun who had been one of the few to set out to look for Ye Gui Feng with absolute seriousness is also anxious despite not knowing the bigger picture.

Ye Gui Feng is considered Feng Jian Yun's first friend here in the sect so Feng Jian Yun is naturally concerned about his wellbeing.

"Be safe now Junior Brother Ye."

Time passes as an entire day goes by to which everyone returns back to camp exhausted.

"Princess we must move on. At this rate the Nine Dragons' Vault will..."

"...Tch I know dammit..."

Elder Shu shakes his head and sighs. The future suddenly looks so dark...

At this time Elder Shu is deeply regretting his decisions in sending Ye Gui Feng to Long Huangrong as the delivery boy for the report.

Had it been someone else other than Ye Gui Feng then they could have just left them had they not returned.

But there was no medicine for regrets in this world. Once Xie Mo Xin's wrath comes crashing down none of them will be able to escape.

"*Sigh* heavens please make sure that he is safe otherwise... *Sigh*"

Elder Shu looks to have instantly aged by ten years as he sighs heavily twice. Out of everyone here he is the most anxious about Ye Gui Feng's disappearance.

Ye Gui Feng was meant to be under his supervision so should Xie Mo Xin find out Elder Shu will surely be the one to suffer the brunt of Xie Mo Xin's wrath.
