Chapter 908 - The Resolution

In the Heaven's Gate sec territory, a young man stood at the top of a hill, his yellow viper eyes staring deeply into the vast mountain shrouded in grayish smoke, his long black hair fluttering behind his back along with a cold wind that brushed against his pale overly face that looks like a corpse.

Suddenly his eyes drifted from a distance, then he slowly turn his head over his shoulder, "You shouldn't be here..." he hissed coldly.

A  young boy that look no more than eleven years old stood behind him, the boy have the same similar pale face with black irises gleaming with golden light and long hair as black as ink framing his face which was as beautiful as exquisitely carved jade, his thin red lips slightly open as he spoke calmly "It's only my consciousness..."

"An obedient child like you broke a rule? What a rare thing you do..." he sneered disdainfully then he turned his gaze back to the mountain seemingly ignoring the boy's existance.

However the young boy unperturbed instead the boy continue with an unwavering calm manner, "I made an exception just for you... Lazarus"

Lazarus scoffed without looking back at the boy, but one could sense a strange atmosphere engulf them. However it was not hostility or hatred but rather familiarity, it felt like a foreign familiarity to be precise.

"The time has come..." the boy said faintly as he looked at Lazarus back "Whatever you do she will never consent to your wishes"

Lazarus didn't care and answered nonchalantly "She will understand...he loves me"

"Yeah...she loves you....she loves as much as she hates you, you know there won't be a good ending for both of you, what you did will only hurt her more and yourself as well," the boy's voice was heavy with emotion.

"ENOUGH!" Lazarus flicked his robe angrily at the same time he glared at the young boy viciously "Don't be so hypocrite, you know you love her too, don't deny it... we both want the same things!" Lazarus growled like a beast.

The boy closed his eyes as the wave of sadness washed over him like a small boat in the ocean he felt lost and helpless, the boy took a deep breath while trying to collect his emotion, and slowly opened his eyes as his gaze collided with Lazarus Viper eyes "But she doesn't want us, at least not as bad as we were,  since the day she was born she was bonded with Lucicent... it was a fate that she accepts but you violently broke that bond out of jealousy and you took the only person that matters for her...she...she will never forget and she will never forgive!....she will never forgive us..." a deep sadness was etched into the boy's childish voice, simultaneously darkness gathered and filled the boy's eyes with pain and suffering.

Lazarus clenched his fists "is that why are you helping Lorient?" he said peevishly.

The boy shook his head wearily, "That little girl has suffered enough, her and the whole Lucient heir was suffered enough...many people have suffered because of your selfishness, how many more souls do you have to take... how many worlds do you have to destroy until you are satisfied?" An immense sense of weariness swept over him, sucking his energy like a deflated balloon.

"As much as it takes..." Lazarus' expression darkened, his lips curled into an evil smile "Don't pretend you don't understand this feeling, after all, you are 'me'....and that boy, Zhao Li Xin...soon he will understand as well"

The boy's face was covered with a mixture of fear and sadness as he blinked his eyes he returned to his dark place, the boy looked up and saw thousands of doors lined up neatly around him, he never realized how dark and lonely this place was until he met her, their meeting was a beautiful coincidence, she who has the same wavelength as him, she who has the power to see the future through dreams coincidently stumble to his place during her reading about King Lucient fate.t

The boy walked towards one of the doors, quietly he opened the door, and what greeted him behind the door was a world covered in ice, a cold empty world that even first kind couldn't live in this place, a world of emptiness that used to call as 'The Void' in this place even time stopped.

He walked into one of the dark ice caves with icicles covering the ceiling, he opened his palms and light like fireflies immediately flew and illuminated the entire cave with soft light, however, in one of the ice walls there was a silhouette of a woman trapped inside the wall ice she looks so peaceful that one could mistake she was sleeping inside the ice, the boy walked over and put his palms on the wall, the look on the boy's eyes  was dull with grief as he said brokenly "Do you hate me, Thea....?"

Meanwhile, in a small room, Guan Men Niang read a small paper after he finished he wiped his eyes and then burned it with a candle, he smiled in relief after the paper was completely burned. Guan Men Niang's little face beamed with joy she felt the heavyweight on her shoulders instantly dissipate, it turned out that her brother was safe and she was placed in a place that Wei Zu Tian could never reach, her brother was in the Hei Shen sect!

The letter depicted Guan Yi Jue's birthmark on his arm, only Guan Men Niang gave only a glimpse of his sister's birthmark because he asked Wu San Bo to find his whereabouts who thought Wu San Bo would find him so soon, ah not Wu San Bo but Madam Luo Ri Yi who found her sister and also released him from the dungeon, Guan Men Niang was also very surprised to know that her brother's poison had been cured and he even started cultivating with Master Shin Jiu, Madam Luo's disciple.

Knowing this, Guan Men Niang was exuberant she didn't even know how to express her feeling right now, not only was her brother safe he was also free from the cold poison and started to learn cultivation with Master Shin Jiu who was the same age range as his brother, perhaps one day  Guan Yi Jue will be accepted as one of Hei Shen sect members if that happened her brother future would be limitless, even without her Guan Yi Jue would be fine.

"Father, mother, did you know? Yi Jue, my Bao-Bao is fine now, he was protected by the strongest sect in the world, not only strong they were also kind and trustworthy you all can rest in peace now...thankfully my patient is not in vain, everything will be fine now..." a bittersweet smile bloom on Guan Men Niang beautiful face.

As soon as guan Men Niang lifted her small oval face, and her eyes shone with determination, Guan Men Niang was determined to help the Hei Shen sect as much as she could, it doesn't matter if she had to sacrifice her life, at least this way she could repay a little bit of the Hei Shen sect's kindness has given to her and her brother.

Guan Men Niang clenched her fists, she got up from her seat then she walk to the door and came out of her room then she headed to the dining area restricted only for Wei Zu Tian female concubine only, well actually their position is much lower than the concubine because they are nothing more than Wei Zu Tian's toys which can be thrown away anytime Wei Zu Tian wanted to.

Guan Men Niang usually didn't get along with all these women, because Guan Men Niangdidn't share the same feeling as them.

In the beginning, they were all like her when they were first brought here they were stressed, sad, and angry towards Wei Zu Tian but as time went on they started to sympathize with Wei Zu Tian later they gradually developed tender feelings for him, Guan Men Niang didn't understand how they could felt that way to someone who treats them like a mere object, besides it's not like Wei Zu Tian treats them better than her, oh no, never!

After spending years with Wei Zu Tian, she was certain that Wei Zu Tian didn't know what feeling is, he had no empathy for others, he never show remorse or guilt, let alone love. His feeling towards them is nothing more than like a child's fondness for his favorite toy, he just gets excited for the first time he has it after he played it to his heart content he will get bored and later he went off searching for a new toy while forgotten if not discarded the old toys.

Even now Guan Men Niang doesn't know why Wei Zu Tian hasn't killed her after all this time, is it because Wei Zu Tian knows that her heart never changes, no matter how long Wei Zu Tian has kept her in captivity Guan Men Niang hatred to Wei Zu Tian never changes a bit.

It seems Wei Zu Tian always longing for something he could have like Zhao Li Xin and Luo Ri Yi.

The room where the concubines ate was a round table containing six to seven people per table, there were dozens of round tables in the room with maids coming and going while serving dishes and drinks while women in skimpy hanfu showed their chest and their slit skirts showing their fair - beautiful legs, they all ate while laughing and talking loudly rather than concubines they were more like prostitutes in a cheap brothel the atmosphere does feel similar too, these poor women had forgotten who they were and molded themselves into the kind of woman Wei Zu Tian wanted, Guan Men Niang's forehead wrinkled even after so long she still not used to this atmosphere.
