《Solitary Sovereign》3. Hope

If someone went into the dungeons under the main hall of the 8 Path Monastery, they could hear unsettling chanting as if a religious reverend was in deep meditation but this was just Yun Fei who was mumbling even though he was unconscious, he had kept repeating" I will never forget" since he had fallen unconscious 3 days ago.
As Footsteps woke him up Yun Fei was sent flying backwards hitting the wall with a dull thud.
"Wake up you demon your fate has been decided"
Yun Fei shot a hateful glare at a bald monk, who was staring at him fiercely while holding a metal pole in his hand.
"You have been sentenced to be quartered by the spirit beasts but don't worry we won't be having your precious meat go to waste, I hope I can get the pill they refine from your corpse" laughing cruelly, the monk walked away.
Three days ago Yang Shaoming had reported Yun Fei to the abbot, the abbot fearing that his monastery is being inhabited by a demonic cultivator rushed to Yun Moxie's courtyard.
He found Yun Fei hanging in a cellar but just as he moved to inspect Yun Fei he was sneak attacked by Yun Moxie by his horn sword, which flew straight at him from Yun Fei's chest.
After a fierce battle, Yun Moxie had to finally run for his life. He couldn't hope to win since he had a weaker cultivation base he had to give up his deep plans in the monastery but he couldn't take Yun Fei with him.
In the fight the abbot was injured but he also noticed that the aura around the horn sword was the same as Yun Fei, the glaring proof of his non human origins were two horn stubs hidden through basic illusion techniques which fell apart in front of the abbot's scrutiny. This convinced the abbot that Yun Fei wasn't a human and in his rage the abbot threw him into the dungeon. After much deliberation and looking at the exceptional vitality in Yun Fei's body, he was sentenced to being refined into healing pills.

Yun Fei remembered when his senior brother had visited him in the cellar denouncing him as a demon, as he felt the dried spit that Yun Shan had hawked onto him Yun Fei coughed up blood in indignation.
'Just because I am not human, just because I am different, what did I do wrong, they treat me like this. Is this how monks behave, is this what the righteous do. Even though I served the monastery, never complaining about the harassment, I won't forget, this pain, this hate, I won't forget'
Tears of blood flowed from his one eye as he started chanting to himself again.
Sun Ming heaved a long sigh to himself as he stood outside the cell Yun Fei was kept in. He felt very remorseful about what Yun Fei had been put through. He only noticed something big was happening when he felt the fluctuations in the spirit power when Yun Moxie and the abbot were fighting.
Although he was strong in the past, it just couldn't compare to his present state, his real body was buried very deep underground in pieces and most of his attention was used up in trying to keep his spirit alive somehow but he had decided today to finally leave this world and pass on right after he bequeathed his inheritance to his chosen and provide Yun Fei with a path to survival.
Yun Fei felt the light from the moon being blocked and looked up, he was confused for some time before he tried to speak but noticed that he couldn't, he couldn't even close his eye.
Sun Ming sneered down at him with a demonic light in his eyes
"Do you finally understand the result of trusting people unconditionally? Feel happy with your current situation hahahaha. When this old man roamed the cultivation world little twats like you would die before even reaching foundation establishment.
Although you were stupid, since you have finally understood. Your grandpa here will save your life this once. I can only give you a chance, if you can survive it would be your good luck and just so you can't cry that your grandpa didn't leave you anything .

I will give you these two eyes I have condensed in this body since I started raising you"
Sun Ming said as he used his fingers to gouge out the remaining eyeball of Yun Fei and replaced them with his own all the while maintaining his ghoulish smile.
Yun Fei was startled for being able to use two eyes for the first time in his life as he looked at the ghostly Sun Ming with black, empty, bleeding sockets.
"This is the gaze of an emperor. boy, these eyes have seen the vicissitudes of life".
"My second gift to you is this eye technique I personally created. So nostalgic, I can remember being chased across the stars for this technique. Why should I have given it to them, this is the technique I personally created."
"Humph!!"
"Weaklings feared my talent and decided to hunt me down. Irreconcilable. I am including this technique in your mind. You will naturally be able to think of higher stages when you have completed certain requirements".
"This is the final time I'll see you. Remember, if you don't repay your blood debts with this sect, you wouldn't be able to proceed much further in your cultivation."
" No, don't" groaned little Fei as he watched Sun Ming burst into blue flames which were created out of his own soul. He shouted hoarsely"Man Up Kid!!" and pressed his hand on Yun Fei's head making Yun Fei vanish into thin air.
Sun Ming looked towards the sky and thought to himself.
'I have really lived an eventful life, it is finally the time to return to ashes. I am somewhat satisfied' this was Sun Ming's last thought as his soul dissipated.
Yun Fei slept for a very long time before slowly waking up. He still couldn't believe everything that had happened in the last few weeks but he had to since he was still able to feel the two new eyes that he had gotten and he couldn't forget the proud and arrogant expression of Sun Ming when he was speaking about his own life.
Yun Fei looked around him and was surprised to find himself in a forest, it was very dark but he could still see clearly. He could see every leaf of a tree that was more than a 100 metres away from him. He knew that this was because of Sun Ming's two eyes and his much extolled eye technique.
Yun Fei knew that he had just been given a new lease at life, a chance to become stronger, strong enough to slaughter his way back to the monastery and to pay back all the humiliation he received there being pushed around his whole life. He knew that he would never see Sun Ming again and could never repay him for what all he had done for him since he was a little child.
After grieving for Sun Ming for some time, he decided in his heart to always remember Sun Ming and to follow his advice.
‘They treated me like a beast, a demon.
If so then a demon I shall become.’
With such a thought, Yun Fei picked up a stick to support himself and set forth with a callous heart in search of the strength to grasp his own destiny and to make his transgressors pay.
