After Heavenly King Flute finished speaking, he sighed at last: "If you want to speak, then speak. If you don’t want to, then go back. In these coming days, I will wait for you here."
Then he closed his eyes again.
But his hand never let go of the flute in his hand.
The mountain wind howled, making the world desolate.
The forests and valleys gave off ghostly cries and god-like wails.
After a long ti, a faint, ethereal voice ca: "Are you so certain that I have co? Why?"
Heavenly King Flute was not at all surprised by Emperor Ye’s voice, and replied calmly: "Because I ca, so, you will inevitably appear. You always want to kill !"
Sikong Ye sneered: "Ning Zai Fei, since you know I’m dying to kill you, why did you co to for the Inheritance Map?"
Heavenly King Flute replied calmly: "After all, we share the sa roots, taught by the sa school; fighting to the death in our sect for the inheritance is one thing, but outside, we share in the sa glory and disgrace."
"You and I have always been oppressed by others, bringing disgrace to our sect."
Heavenly King Flute said: "I know you want to say you’re indifferent by nature, and don’t care about this, but I do care. I don’t want to be constantly overshadowed by Ningxue Sword, Xue Fuxiao, Duan Xiyang, and others."
Sikong Ye replied calmly: "The Cloud Weapon List is a conspiracy in itself, and you care so much about the ranking within such a conspiracy? How foolish must you be?"
Heavenly King Flute said: "Although it’s a conspiracy, the world acknowledges this ranking. I take it seriously. I want to climb higher."
"It’s just a false na." Sikong Ye dismissed it contemptuously.
"But one’s life is lived for that very false na!" Heavenly King Flute’s eyes flipped, shooting forth a gleam of light: "If not for it, what reason is there to live?"
"Childish! Naive!" Sikong Ye coolly remarked.
Heavenly King Flute straightened his neck.
Looking into the void.
As if gazing at his own dreams, his eyes suddenly filled with fervor.
He said: "Say what you will, but my life is to climb to the supre heights! Then, to die on this path. That is all!"
Sikong Ye asked: "For this goal, you don’t care whom you kill?"
"Yes!"
Heavenly King Flute readily admitted: "I will kill anyone who obstructs this goal!"
"So the last ti you ca to kill ?" Sikong Ye’s voice turned cold.
This ti, Heavenly King Flute did not speak for a long ti.
Then he said: "The last ti, I was wrong."
Sikong Ye never expected this bastard to apologize, and was briefly stunned.
"At first, I didn’t know who they were targeting. It was only upon reaching Donghu that I knew it was you, and by then you were already poisoned."
Heavenly King Flute Ning Zaifei explained sowhat awkwardly: "I had no intention of dealing with you, but that night the opportunity was just too good... If I say this, will you believe ?"
Sikong Ye’s ambiguous voice admitted readily: "I believe! Because you are exactly that kind of bastard, soone you completely didn’t intend to target, yet seeing such a good opportunity, couldn’t help but stab them in the back."
Heavenly King Flute snorted, sowhat dissatisfied with this statent.
But after thinking, he said: "Yes, I am that kind of person. But that night I did hold back. If I hadn’t, could you have escaped?"
Sikong Ye laughed hoarsely: "Good senior brother, if not for the sect’s inheritance, would you have held back?"
"No matter the reason, you still have a life, don’t you?"
"But that night, without you, I could have kept my life, and returned triumphantly!"
Sikong Ye impatiently asked: "So you ca this ti to boast about how you held back that night? Are you bored?"
"You know my purpose clearly."
Heavenly King Flute said: "The sect’s inheritance, I am determined to get it!"
"Didn’t you already get the Ghost King Flute? And remodeled it into the Heavenly King Flute, surpassing your master?"
Sikong Ye rcilessly mocked: "What more do you want?"
"I want the Nightmare Divine Technique and my martial uncle’s Dragon God Spear, as well as the Kongming Sword from the grandmaster years ago."
Heavenly King Flute said calmly: "Back then, the grandmaster used the Kongming Sword to battle the Sect Leader for a day and night, was defeated and killed; though the sword is gone, the swordsmanship remains."
Sikong Ye chuckled, full of disdain: "To think you rember the grandmaster died at Zheng Yuandong’s hands, yet you and your master joined the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, taking orders from the enemy... Ning Zaifei, are you still human?"
"No!"
Heavenly King Flute Ning Zaifei said calmly: "I am not human."
"..."
The always unseen Sikong Ye almost choked on his own blood from this reaction.
Heavenly King Flute continued leisurely: "But regardless if human or not, you must strive ever higher. Sikong Ye, will you give it to ?"
Sikong Ye said: "You and I are both direct disciples, what you receive, I receive equally. I told you last ti there was none. Are you still unwilling to let it go?"
"The grandmaster would never let the sect’s ultimate skill be lost."
Heavenly King Flute said quietly: "Our master and martial uncle did not possess the Sword Bone, nor do we have the innate talent to cultivate the spear, so these things must be passed down to find the right person."
"Our master doesn’t have it, and besides, he joined the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, the grandmaster would never pass it to him; so it must be with the martial uncle."
"And your cultivation technique is the Nightmare Divine Technique."
Sikong Ye said: "How different is your Night Demon Divine Technique from my Nightmare Divine Technique?"
"But after all, it isn’t a supre technique. To reach the peak, facing the endless path, only the Kongming Sword and Dragon God Spear can achieve it."
Heavenly King Flute said: "Though the grandmaster was a free spirit, he had the heart of a Guardian. It was because he helped the Guardian accomplish such a great deed that the Sect Leader personally killed him. How could his inheritance be left to people of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect? So it must be with the martial uncle."
