Heavenly Opposers

Xiao sighed inwardly as he saw Xia Yunbai kneeling in front of him, complex memories flashed through his mind, they were now not as painful as they used to be in the past, moreover, he had returned to the past which essentially makes the people he killed null but that doesn't remove the fact that he had slaughtered millions to grow stronger

As of right now, he doesn't feel anything about it, as he had already processed his guilt and anger a long time ago in Ingrid, with the help of his master he had moved forward and he had accepted the part of which he was and learned to live with it, the reason he brought it out was to make Xia Yunbai listen to him

The people who follow the path of slaughter only respect or listen to one that has higher bloodlust than them, normally the people who walk the path of slaughter are the ones that don't have much talent and use the death of others to get stronger but there are rare ones who follow this path because they are fit for it

Xia Yunbai's case is special, with the inheritance and his unique bloodlust, he will go forward than others, the reason being simple, unlike others who have to slaughter others to get stronger, Xia Yunbai just has to keep trying to get himself killed, in simpler terms the more powerful his foe the more powerful he gets

And the best part is if he was able to instill fear into his enemies and get 'killed' by them, then he would be able to inherit his opponent's understandings and sometimes their skill! the previous guy who had this became the demon of the four heavens striking fear and taking the skills and talents of the one that 'killed' him'

But he was a crazy fucker, he didn't have enough as he attacked the heavenly tree and tried to instill fear into it, a bonafide madman, well long story short he was incinerated from soul to body, without anything left, it would seem that all that 'deaths' had finally caught up to him, making him go mad

'I have to be careful when I deal with him'

Xiao thought as he looked at Xia Yunbai who was now looking at him, his earlier craziness seemed to have receded as he looked ready to talk, standing up straight he looked at Xiao with a hint of respect, kid or not, anyone with such a bloodlust requires respect, as he did his eyes traveled to elder Fin as he spoke

"What about that guy"

Hearing Xia Yunbai's question Xiao looked towards elder Fin who was now passed out on the floor, Xiao's bloodlust's not something that anybody at the lower realm will be able to deal with, Xiao raised his hand as he wiped out some blood from his mouth, the usage of his bloodlust was not with sacrifices

His current body was not something capable of handling the stress of the mass release of his bloodlust, Xiao sighed inwardly as he regulated his body to heal itself faster, Xiao focused back at Xia Yunbai as he shrugged his shoulders as he spoke

"Let him be, he will wake up after some time"

"Oh, ok then"

Xia Yunbai just nodded his head at Xia's words after which his eyes focused seriously on him, he first looked a few seconds at Xiao trying to see what was so special about him but in the end, he just shook his head as he spoke in a frigid tone

"What did you mean by earlier when you said that my mother's death might have been planned?"

"It exactly as you have heard, your mother's death might be the result of somebody's plan, in fact part of the things you went through is due to someone's plan"

"Who?"

Xia Yunbai asked with gritted teeth as his eyes turned blood red again, seeing it Xiao sighed inwardly, Xia Yunbai had just accepted the words he said without proof but it was to be expected, after all even if Xia Yunbai's 15 years old, he spent most of his life within that death illusion making him as mature as a 10-year-old

Even if he's more mature, he's still just a child who just went through death for 5 years, he might have intelligence but that doesn't mean he knows how to use it, it's mainly the reason that he was played under the hand of Emperor like a toy, moreover in his illusion he just learned about bloodlust nothing more and nothing less

'He's a clean slate'

Xiao thought as he looked at Xia Yunbai gritting his teeth in anger, with focused eyes he spoke

"What makes you trust what I speak?"

Xiao asked with intrigue, hearing it Xia Yunbai raised his eyes brows in question before he spoke

"It's your bloodlust, I could see partly what type of person you are, plus what would you get by lying to me? I don't think there's much I can offer you"

'So he's not a complete idiot'

Xiao thought with a smirk before he finally rose from the boulder he sat on, with the light step he reached in front of Xia Yunbai, Xiao had to look up to Xia Yunbai due to the height difference, reaching his hand out he patted Xia Yunbai's shoulder

"I see.....since you trust me then trust me till the end, I do not need your loyalty now, right now I shall help in your revenge and after that...."

Speaking so Xiao's eyes glowed with renewed vigor as he spoke with a powerful voice

"After that become my mine, become my comrade as your fight before my side, let me be the reason for your existence after you achieve your goal"

With that Xiao spoke a bit about how things happened, he spoke about his unique ability to 'see' the future, he spoke about how the Emperor was planning to make him just a puppet and he also gave a small hint about the Heavenly Opposers and just as he had finished he was left with a stunned Xia Yunbai

"HAHAHAAA....that's it huh, so they are my enemies, the enemies I have to beat....."

With that Xia Yunbai kept laughing like a madman, thinking about the tough enemies he had to face, thinking about how he would survive, seeing it Xiao pulled Xia Yunbai to the ground as he patted his head

"Uh?!"

Xia Yunabi looked confused as he looked at Xiao who held a gentle smile on his face, he warmly patted Xia Yunbai's head as he spoke

"Don't worry, you are not alone in this, I will help you and also good job for holding till now"

And no more need to be said as Xia Yunbai broke into a fit of tears as he started to cry, Xiao didn't say anything as he patted Xia Yunbai's back in comfort, it was a weird scene where a 15 years old boy was crying to the shoulder of an 11-year-old boy but Xia Yunbai didn't seem to mind as after a long time he heard words of consolation

His fragile 10-year-old mind was finally able to relax
