After talking with Radix in the adjoining room for a while, Xia Fei returned to Cloud Night’s side.
Cloud Night was rather nervous. He knew more than anyone else that if this illness that had tormented him for three years was not cured, he would find it hard to stay alive.
Xia Fei said very grimly, “Master said that your situation is very special, and treating it will take a lot of energy.”
Cloud Night shuddered and stared at Xia Fei, waiting for the answer that would decide his fate.
After a pause, Xia Fei smiled eerily and then said softly, “You currently have two choice:
Outside, Zesyr was getting antsy. Not long after Cloud Night entered the place, a powerful spatial seal had appeared. This blocked Zesyr and Sivatu out and prevented them from knowing how the treatment was going.
After around two hours, the seal was undone.
Zesyr rushed inside. When she pushed open the door, she saw Zesyr sitting on the ground, his face pale and covered in sweat.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?!” Zesyr asked concernedly.
Cloud Night was clearly in a lot of pain. Clenching his chest with his hand, he cursed, “What trash Spiritualist! If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would’ve ended up dead!”
*Whoosh!*
Everyone paled. After all this time, Xia Fei’s master had not only failed to treat Cloud Night’s wounds but had almost taken his life.
“Patriarch, don’t speak. Eat this first.” Sivatu immediately squatted and fed a green pill to Cloud Night.
At this moment, Xia Fei frantically walked over to try and help Cloud Night up, but Cloud Night pushed him away, so all he could do was purse his lips and stand in a corner.
*Rumble!*
The moment Cloud Night recovered, he raised his hand and tore the roof off the building, showering the area in debris!
“Old man, get out here right now! I’d like to see who actually dared to impersonate a Spiritualist of Healing!” Cloud Night roared.
As a Great Soul Master, Cloud Night could easily tear off a roof, but this was the Aurora Clan’s property! Cloud Night’s actions were no different from a war declaration!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
Several dozen Soul Masters of the Venus of Eternal Night answered the summons and appeared at the Aurora Clan’s compound. Cloud Night’s eyes glinted with cold light as he shouted, “Find that Spiritualist for me, dead or alive!”
“Yes!”
“As you commanded!”
Those accompanying Cloud Night were all Venus of Eternal Night elites, and in less than a minute, the entire compound had been searched; alas, there was no sign of Xia Fei’s so-called master.
Xia Fei walked out of the room and patted the dust off his clothes. “My master is already gone. My apologies. Though he is a Spiritualist of Healing, his cultivation is only level 1.5, so even though he tried his best, he couldn’t heal your injuries.”
Xia Fei spoke very meekly, but Cloud Night was clearly throwing one of his legendary temper tantrums, clearly unwilling to be merciful. Everyone knew that the patriarch of the Venus of Eternal Night was a donkey—the most stubborn donkey! Once he got angry, even the gods would find it hard to stop
him.
“Level 1.5?!” Cloud Night glared as he pointed at Xia Fei’s nose. “A level 1.5 and he dared to try and treat me? The nerve! He almost took my life! Since your master has run away, you have to take responsibility!”
Cloud Night spread apart his arms, and the winds howled as the sky rumbled with thunder!
Severe lightning bolts cracked down with piercing howls, the blue lightning landing on Cloud Night’s arms, where it was absorbed. His two arms swiftly began to gather with a terrifying light.
This was the skill that Cloud Night had grown famous from, the Great Soul Hunter Art, the Azure Nebula Waterfall!
Cloud Night was actually using a well-known ability of his on Xia Fei, a clear indication how furious he felt.
Black clouds roiled as the blue lightning cracked down. The compound collapsed as doomsday befell it!
Cloud Night’s face turned darker and darker under the crackling blue lightning, his eyes spitting flame!
“No!” Zesyr clutched her chest and yelled, trying to stop her grandfather.
It was actually rather strange. Zesyr had been mocking Xia Fei before this, trying to get back her pride, but now, her pulse had suddenly sped up, for she did not want to see Xia Fei injured.
Nearby, Xia Fei had sent out the fiendish blade Nirvana. While Peacock Blue and Furball did not move, both growled as where they stood ready.
“Old thing, my master was already giving you a lot of respect by offering to cure you! It’s your own injuries that are too serious! After all, it’s not like Spiritualists of Healing are omnipotent. It’s just not your fate to keep living, so don’t blame my master!” Xia Fei said sternly.
If Cloud Night was a reasonable sort, he would not be called Donkey Ye. When he was angry, he did not differentiate between black and white, so Xia Fei’s words fell on deaf ears. All he wanted was to kill!
“Cut the chatter! Other people might fear Spiritualists, but not me!”
*Whoosh!*
He pushed his arms forward, and the world went black!
‘The Venus of Eternal Night! The Venus of Eternal Night had this name because when they activated their clan’s unique Great Soul Hunter Art, the world would be plunged into the utter darkness of primordial chaos!
It was a situation where one could not even see their fingers in front of their face.
Suddenly—
A blue lotus of flames bloomed in the darkness!
A dazzling blue! Intense blue lightning howled out from Cloud Night’s hand!
The dark world turned blue!
‘The Venus of Eternal Night used the color blue to commence the slaughter in the night!
‘The moment the blue lightning appeared, one’s life was over!
*Rumble!*
Thunder boomed as the blue lotus’s petals scattered, surrounding Xia Fei.
One second later, they came together; even a god would find it difficult to avoid this lethal lightning!
As expected of the mighty soul art of the Venus of Eternal Night. If this attack hit Xia Fei, he would be obliterated in both body and soul!
*Whoosh whoosh!*
At this moment, a powerful energy emerged from Xia Fei’s body.
Cloud Night’s Great Soul Hunter Art had left only two colors in the world: black and blue.
However, when this power appeared, a rainbow tornado swiftly emerged in the darkness. Not only did it protect Xia Fei, it even slowly scattered the darkness Cloud Night had laid down!
‘Those within felt like they were in a dream. Rather than a clash of experts, they felt like they were in an observatory, witnessing a calamity take place in the depths of the universe!
Cloud Night’s blue lightning was brimming with intimidating power!
On the other end, the rainbow light was more talented and possessed a strange aura!
“Watch closely! This is our clan’s Great Soul Hunter Art, Aurora Horizon! The patriarch is here!” Radix shouted excitedly in Xia Fei’s ear. “When your cultivation reaches the absolute limit, soul arts no longer display your power but rather the miraculous power akin to nature! Look at this light; doesn’t it
resemble the polar aurora?”
Radix was clearly very confident in the Great Soul Hunter Art of the Aurora Clan. The moment this Aurora Horizon appeared, Radix was certain that an expert who could unleash an aurora had arrived, and thus, nobody could harm Xia Fei anymore!
Sure enough—
While Cloud Night scowled, his darkness and blue lightning were pushed back and scattered, pushed away by that rainbow light.
“Wistful Heizus, are you trying to make an enemy out of my Venus of Eternal Night?!” Cloud Night demanded coldly, his face pale.
He had placed his hands behind him as though he no longer planned on continuing the attack, but his killing intent was still there.
“The Wists doesn’t want to make an enemy of anyone, and neither does my Aurora Clan.” Wistful Heizus’s voice came from the distance, polite and steady.
“Still, this is the Aurora Clan’s territory. For what reason has the Venus of Eternal Night attempted to kill another?” asked Wistful Heizus.
“What reason?! Your clan’s Xia Fei tricked me! He said that he’d get his master to treat me, but not only did the treatment fail to have an effect, he even caused my injuries to flare up! If I had been a little slower to realize it, I would’ve died at the hands of your Aurora Clan!” Cloud Night shouted.
At this time, the two peak Great Soul Hunter Arts were starting to retreat. Darkness and blue lightning lurked behind Cloud Night, while a rainbow aurora shone behind Xia Fei.
Wistful Heizus emerged from the aurora and bowed to Cloud Night. Cloud Night snorted coldly and looked away, his attitude extremely rude.
Wistful Heizus turned to Xia Fei and frowned. “Was it really as the Venus of Eternal Night patriarch said?”
Xia Fei smiled and replied, “Elder Night, we said that we’d try to treat your illness, but when was it said that we’d definitely be able to cure it?”
“You!” Cloud Night went pale as he glared viciously at Xia Fei.
“It’s truly never been said that you could cure me, but were you allowed to collude with your master to try and hurt this old man?!” Cloud Night shouted.
“Hurt you? What good would killing you do to us?” Xia Fei countered.
“Then how do you explain my injuries flaring up?! They’re even worse than usual!” Cloud Night shot back.
Xia Fei laughed and shook his head. “Senior, how come you couldn’t even endure the pain of treatment? Soul injuries aren’t ordinary injuries. Since it’s unable to be cured, there will naturally be a harsh backlash. That’s to be expected.”
“Nonsense! When has treating an injury ever resulted in the injury getting worse?!”
Xia Fei admitted frankly, “There’s nothing to be done. The person who injured you is just too formidable, surpassing the ability of my master to treat.”
In the middle of this stalemate, Zesyr somehow mustered up the courage to say, “Grandpa, treatment has always been very painful. Also, we truly didn’t say anything about Xia Fei curing you for sure. We can’t blame him for this.”
Cloud Night was so angry that he could not be bothered to listen. He glared at Zesyr and said viciously, “You’re a girl, what do you know?! Xia Fei was trying to get me killed!”
Zesyr, who had never seen her grandfather in such a state before, froze. A moment later, a tear slid down her cheek.
She turned around and ran off.
At this moment, Cloud Night felt regret for treating his granddaughter so harshly, but this was just how he behaved when the anger got to his head.
“Hmph! I’m not finished with you yet!” roared Cloud Night. He tumed to chase Zesyr, but after running two steps, he stopped and said coldly, “According to the Chaos Pact, it should be the Venus of Eternal Night and Aurora Clan’s turn this year to get married, but you should stop thinking about that right
now! As long as I’m alive, our clans will be enemies!”
Cloud Night left.
“Haaa….” Wistful Heizus furrowed his brows and sighed. He told Xia Fei, “I was originally going to tell you that our clan managed to keep its second-tier spot, but this ended up happening. Our Aurora Clan has never had many friends, and now, it seems like we have one less..”
