《The Demon's Gate》Chapter 42: The wandering Demon God
Advertisement
Chapter 42: The wandering Demon God. It was only after flying on Little Gray for three days, that Yao Jun finally managed to return to Golden Moon Town. Standing on the back of Little Gray, Yao Jun overlooked the ruins of the town. The smell of burnt flesh and wood still lingered on the morning breeze, telling of the terrible battle that was fought here. The entire town was deserted, not a person in sight, so Yao Jun just ordered Little Gray to land at the center of the town. There were corpses everywhere, none of them still intact, no one had even bothered to clean away the corpses. Yao Jun absentmindedly cast his gaze around the center of the town. Every building was burned and razed, nothing was left whole. This meant that whoever attacked the town didn't do it to take control over the town, it was for the sole reason of destroying it. Yao Jun slowly walked forward, stepping over both bodies and ruined buildings alike. He kept walking until he found a corpse with a large hole in it's chest. He bent down and picked up a sword that was lying not far from the body. It was a completely normal sword, it was even slightly damaged by heat, parts of it had slightly melted before stiffening once more. This was the sword Yao Jun had thrown while he was fighting. This sword was a gift from his father, he was not willing to lose it. After storing away the sword, Yao Jun turned to the side and started walking again, each step slow careful. After walking for a short distance, he found two burnt corpses holding hands. One of the corpses was missing an arm, but the bodies were otherwise intact. Yao Jun didn't say anything, the tears streaming down his face the only indicator of his emotions. Blood dripped from the corners of Yao Jun's mouth as his tears fell. He had cried and screamed for two days already, the inside of his throat already bloodied. He knew that these two bodies were his parents. They were burnt black and were completely unrecognizable, but he knew. This pain in his chest could only mean that the corpses in front of him were his parents. Yao Jun bent down and tried to pick up the corpses, but once he touched them, they simply turned to ash that drifted away with the wind. «You stupid, stupid idiots.... Why wouldn't you just leave?» Yao Jun's voice came out soft like a whisper, but it was completely hoarse. He already realized that his parents could have left whenever they wanted. His father clearly had a power related to space, so they could have just left whenever they wanted. But they didn't. They waited for him, waited for a son that might never return. Yao Jun raised his head to the sky and stood there in silence, just letting his tears flow as he stared at the sky until his eyes hurt. After he finished crying, he turned around and started walking once more. This time, he returned to the house where his parents lived. He searched the entire house for anything that once belonged to his parents, anything that could be used as proof that they once lived. He found a necklace that his mother used to wear, and a robe that his father had worn while he was younger and worked for the Yao clan. The items were slightly burned, but they would still do. After finding the items, Yao Jun left the ruins of the town. He continued walking until he found a small hill with a clear view of the surrounding area. If the town was still standing, this place would surely have a beautiful view. Yao Jun kneeled down onto the ground and started digging. He had no tools, so he could only use his hands to dig. He could just have Little Thunder dig, but this was a task he wanted to complete on his own. He continued digging with his bare hands until his nails had broken off and his hands were mangled and bloody. What he was left with was two holes side by side in the ground. Each hole was almost two meters long, and around half a meter deep. He placed the necklace into one of the holes, and the robe in the other. After covering the holes once more and erecting two simple crosses out of wood, he used his own blood to write the names of his parents on the crosses. Once the simple graves were done, Yao Jun sat in front of them in silence for an entire day. After sitting in front of the graves for an entire day, Yao Jun kowtowed to each grave three times, his head hitting the ground hard enough to draw blood. Once he finished this ritual, he stood up and turned around, returning to the ruins of the town. He searched the entire town, searched every nook and cranny until he found what he was looking for. He found two corpses, one that was wearing a mostly intact red robe, and one that was wearing a mostly intact leather armor. Once he found these two piece of clothing, he stored them away and left the ruins of the town for good. Yao Jun started walking, following the road that would lead him to the closest town, Green Peak Town. He didn't stay inside the town for long. He only picked up some food that could be stored for long durations, and asked around the inn for information. It didn't take too much asking and bribing before he found someone that knew where the insignia on the leather armor and red robe was from. The insignia on the leather armor was from a known bandit group that lived in the mountains around two days march from Green Peak Town, Scavenging Wolves Bandit Group. The insignia on the red robe was from a clan located two towns over, in Fiery Clouds Town, Soaring Phoenix Clan. The Soaring Phoenix Clan was the same as the Yao and the Peng Clan, one of the largest clans on the continent. The only difference was that the Soaring Phoenix Clan also ran several academies, with the best of the students being allowed to join the clan. Once Yao Jun managed to obtain the information, he left Green Peak Town. Instead of heading to any other towns, Yao Jun used a Spatial Array in Green Peak Town to head back to the Cloud Wilderness. Normally, only someone that belonged to one of the clans in Green Peak Town could use these Spatial Arrays, but Yao Jun used the psychic powers he gained from Little Gray to insert information about himself into the minds of the people guarding the Spatial Array, making himself look like someone that was allowed to use the Spatial Array. After arriving at the other Spatial Array in Green Cloud Town, Yao Jun once more used his psychic powers to insert himself into the memories of the people that were guarding it. After doing so, he walked away from Green Cloud Town and entered the Cloud Wilderness. He knew who his enemies were, he knew that he had to kill them to avenge his parents. But he also knew that the current him was too weak, he was probably like an ant to them. That meant that he had only one other option, to amass an army for himself and swarm his enemies with a horde of death. With these thoughts keeping him awake, Yao Jun wandered deeper into the Cloud Wilderness, hunting for any Demonic beasts he could find.
