Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao could clearly sense the intense death aura emanating from the old man.
He was like an incense stick that had burned to its last bit, barely holding on to the last spark of flame to burn the small wooden stick at the bottom, which was also burning to ashes and about to vanish.
"Junior Shang Xiye greets Ancestor!"
"Junior Xiao Chen greets Ancestor!"
Although this old man was not from the Dan Sect or the Han Yu Sect, his long lifespan was enough to warrant such a title from them.
Seeing that Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao had both paid their respects, Ji Fengming also put away his joking expression and respectfully greeted the old man.
The patriarch of the Mi family raised his eyes and carefully examined the three of them. His gaze first settled on Shang Xiye, and he said, "You are blessed with immortal destiny and have the great opportunity to be reborn from the brink of death. You are a child with a great background and great fortune. The future of the Danling Continent depends on you."
Shang Xiye seemed to understand but not quite, but noticing that the Mi family patriarch was breathing rapidly and hadn't finished speaking, she didn't interrupt rashly and nodded in acknowledgment.
The Mi family patriarch then turned to Black Owl and said, "You are also a person with great opportunities. You live and die, and you live towards death. Like a sword drawn from its sheath, you are incomparably sharp. You also know how to hide your talents. Good."
Black Owl nodded in acknowledgment, showing great respect to the Mi family patriarch.
The Mi family patriarch turned to Ji Fengming again, his gaze becoming more benevolent. He merely smiled slightly and said nothing before turning back to Shang Xiye and saying, "In this world, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. That child took away the Demon God's will of light, which means that the Demon God's will of light also chose him."
Good and evil in the world are not simply black and white.
Even though the daytime is bright, it cannot tolerate the slightest mistake; to go to extremes is also a vice.
Although the night is dark, it also encompasses everything and gives people a chance to breathe, which is a great blessing.
Moreover, the demon god's will of light is ultimately based on light, and that child is still young. If properly guided, even a demon can find a way.
"Ancestor's words have enlightened me greatly. I have learned a lot." Shang Xiye breathed a long sigh of relief. The huge weight on his heart was instantly lifted, and he felt much more relaxed.
Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming were also deeply troubled: ever since they learned that Ji Fenghua had escaped from the Hidden Sect and used demonic methods to send them a message, they had been feeling very heavy-hearted.
They all knew that Feng Hua's transformation into a demon was likely a fact, and not just any ordinary demon.
But they have never mentioned it, and have avoided mentioning it altogether.
Because none of them wanted to face it, much less kill Fenghua.
The words of the Mi family patriarch pointed them in the right direction and gave them and Feng Hua a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that they understood immediately, the Mi family patriarch nodded with satisfaction. He took out three dark green jade slips from his sleeve and handed them to Shang Xiye, Hei Xiao, and Ji Fengming respectively: "These are my divided soul jade slips. They contain a trace of my killing intent. They can be used to unleash my three most powerful killing moves at the most critical moment. They may be of assistance to you in the future."
"Grand Ancestor, you're so generous! This is a really good thing!" Ji Fengming happily accepted the jade slip, then eagerly approached like a monkey, grinning, and said, "Look, my brother went missing in your Hidden Sect. Shouldn't you give me two more pieces? One for Fenghua as a sign of your affection for him, and the other as compensation for your Hidden Sect's poor treatment of Fenghua?"
"Little rascal, do you think this is a cabbage?" The Mi family patriarch wasn't angry, and smiled as he lightly flicked Ji Fengming's forehead with his finger.
