After scaring away three or four people in a row, he finally found Uncle Wu’s family thanks to the trembling answer of a person. He handed Uncle Wu’s body over to his family members then turned around and left, not caring about these frightened, shocked and also sorrowful people anymore.
After returning home, he cleaned up the bloodstains on his body right away and changed into his only other set of clothes. Bai Yunfei then took a final look at this house where he had been living for eighteen years and walked out determinedly…
… … … …
Under the dim moonlight, in a remote grove outside Luoshi City, Bai Yunfei was kneeling before his mother’s and his grandfather’s graves, saying something in a low voice.
“… …”
“Then, I was helped by that Zheng Kai and left that place…”
“Mom… Now I already understand. If I don’t want to be bullied and humiliated, if I don’t want to be treated like an ant, if I want to live freely, I must have great power… so great that nobody would dare to provoke me!”
“Mom, grandpa said I had to live with a clear conscience…”
“Uncle Wu died to save me. I… I want to avenge him! I’ll definitely make that Zhang Yang pay the price for what he’s done! For Uncle Wu, for his granddaughter Xiao Yu’er and for myself too!”
“Now I have obtained a special kind of power. I feel that, if I research it carefully and put it to good use, I can definitely become powerful…”
Bai Yunfei wiped the tears from his face. Just when he wanted to stand up, an aged voice suddenly rang out behind him:
“Do you want power?”
“Who?” The sudden appearance of the voice frightened Bai Yunfei. He swiftly grabbed the brick beside him then turned around to face the person behind him.
“Oh? Your soulforce has already started to awaken? Though it’s still very weak…” That voice was heard, slightly surprised. That person then continued laughingly: “Ha ha, don’t be afraid, little friend. I won’t harm you.”
Making use of the moonlight, Bai Yunfei saw a kind-looking old man dressed in a gray robe walk up to him. His tone was friendly and he was sizing him up with a smile.
“Who are you? What do you want to do?” Bai Yunfei immediately asked the two most important questions. Seeing that this man seemed to have no ill intentions, he relaxed a bit but he was still holding the brick tightly in his hand.
“I more or less understood what you said just now. Considering that your soulforce has started to awaken, perhaps it is the special power you mentioned, right?”
“However, I can tell you that it’s impossible to get your revenge with this tiny amount of power. You’re not even a soul cultivator at the moment. Even though that Zhang Yang brat is merely at the middle Soul Personage stage, he’s far from someone you can deal with too.”
“What I want to tell you is… I can make you become more powerful and make it possible for you to get your revenge as you wish, are you willing to accept?”
Originally, the old man thought that, after hearing him say these words, the little fellow in front of him would definitely be overjoyed and urgently ask him how to become powerful, but…
“How can I believe you?”
“Er…”The old man was stupefied for a short while then said with resignation: “Do you have anything valuable enough for me to fool you? Alright, then I’ll just make you believe me…”
As soon as the old man finished talking, Bai Yunfei suddenly felt his surroundings light up. A heat wave then hit him in the face — a large area of raging flames had unexpectedly appeared in an instant around him and the old man!!
Furthermore, these flames were floating in the air instead of burning on the ground!!
Under the shining of the flames, the old man smilingly pointed at a boulder about the size of a water tank not far from him. Amidst soft rumblings, that boulder unexpectedly slowly moved up into the air from inside the earth. The old man moved his five fingers slightly. Crunching sounds were heard as the boulder shattered immediately into dozens of pieces, which then fell down from the air…
Bai Yunfei watched everything in front of him in astonishment. Suddenly his head felt dizzy for a short period of time. When he had regained composure, he discovered that… he was floating in the air!!
All of these happening continuously confused Bai Yunfei’s mind somewhat. He looked in stupefaction at the old man on the ground, who was still smilingly gazing at him.
Seeing the astonished expression on his face, only now did the old man give a satisfied smile. With a wave of his hand, Bai Yunfei slowly fell to the ground. The flames around also shrunk gradually, but they did not disappear completely. They turned into a washbasin-sized fireball which floated on one side. The old man seemed to keep it especially for lighting.
“How was it? Sonny, you believe me now, right? I’ll say it again. I can make you become powerful and help you get your revenge. Are you willing to accept?”
Bai Yunfei lowered his head silently for a long time then gazed at the old man for a
