Reincarnation of the Hero 2

Ch.374 - Loyal Subordinate

"Before I take your soul, I would like to ask you a few things regarding the Lightning Valley and the Dark Valley!"

Xin Zan frowned, "didn't you come from there? Why are you even asking with those two places?"

"Who said I was from there? I am not from the Middle Region, but I am not from the two Valleys either."

Before Xin Zan said anything, Xiang Yang first cut in, "just answer my question! If you don't want to answer then tell me not to waste any more time taking your life!"

"Haha.you are indeed a cruel creature," Xin Zan still did not know which Xiang Yang actually came from which race.

Xin Zan said everything he knew about the Lightning Valley and the Dark Valley.

The two places were extremely mysterious to her who was from the Central Region. Both valleys felt like they had an ancient aura.

Just as the Spirit Beasts who lived there had ancient auras and forms that were arguably unusual.

Xin Zan also told me about some other things she knew.

"Is that all?"

"Yes.. I don't know much about those two places.. If you're so curious, why not just go there?" xin Zan's voice sounded increasingly weak.

"Will go there," Xiang Yang did a hand seal, "after taking your life!"

Xiang Yang also took the soul as well as the blood essence of Xin Zan, the ancestor of the Illusory Fox Clan who was a Half Immortal-level Spirit Beast.

From a distance, Xin Guo saw all what Xiang Yang was doing. He did not expect that young man would have such terrifying strength in his cultivation that was at the late stage of Mahayana.

Now he looked at Xiang Yang with fear, but his admiration for the young man was also growing.

Aside from admiring his strength, Xin Guo also admired him for having helped him avenge himself.

Xin Guo promised in his heart that he would continue to follow Xiang Yang for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Xin Na who was beside Xin Guo, only a frightened look was in her eyes when she saw Xiang Yang.

He knew exactly how powerful Xin Ji was as well as his ancestor, Xin Zan. But not only the Clan Leader and his ancestors were killed, but all of his Clan members along with all of the Fire Ape Clan members.

As long as Xin Na was never willing to comply with Xiang Yang's wishes, yet she did all Xiang Yang's orders in a forced manner.

He always cursed Xiang Yang to die in the hands of his clan members. But in fact the members of his clan who were slaughtered.

If Xin Na was still left alive after this, she would devote her life to Xiang Yang.

"If all of this soul and blood essence I made were Spirit Pills, it would be enough to make me break through to Half Immortal!" Xiang Yang smiled widely, very excited as he imagined himself rising to a different cultivation level.

"Will but I am now only a tier 8 Alchemist, in order to refine a Half Immortal-level Spirit Beast soul into a Spirit Pill, I must become a Saint-level Alchemist first!"

Saint level Alchemists were Alchemists who had already surpassed tier 9. After he took care of a few things, he would begin the training of his teacher to reach Saint level Alchemists.

Uncommanded, Xin Guo and Xin Na jumped up, landing not far from Xiang Yang, guarding their Master from any danger that might come while Xiang Yang was in a meditative state.

***

It took a whole day for Xiang Yang to recover his condition to its peak.

Xiang Yang stood up, looking at the ravaged surroundings from his fight one day ago.

Seeing that Xiang Yang had recovered, Xin Guo and Xin Na walked over to Xiang Yang then knelt down.

"Mr Xiang Yang, thank you for avenging me, from now on my life will be dedicated to you! I will devote myself completely" Xin Guo said.

The same thing was said by Xin Na. He conveyed what he had been thinking all along and finally decided to completely obey Xiang Yang, showing himself to have absolutely no doubt about his words.

"Is that so?" Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows looking at Xin Na, making the Illusory Fox tremble in fear.

Xiang Yang walked over then placed his palm on Xin Na's head.

Xin Na's body trembled increasingly uncontrollably, thinking she would also die here as it was no longer of any use to Xiang Yang.

However what happened next made Xin Na surprised. It turned out that Xiang Yang had not harmed him, instead having removed the soul seal within his body, making himself now free from Xiang Yang's control.

"T-mister.." Xin Na was speechless.

"I set you free, so you're free to make a decision, if you want to feel as free as any other Spirit Beast, then I won't ban it!"

Xin Na was speechless, staring at the expression of Xiang Yang who looked absolutely not lying.

"No Mr. Xiang Yang, if you wish, I wish to devote my life to Master," Xin Na remained firm on her stance.

Xiang Yang smiled faintly then stroked the soft fur of Xin Na's head.

"Good then. To be honest, if you had chosen your freedom, you would have instantly met the same fate as the members of your Clan." Xiang Yang smiled simply.

Xin Na was stunned with a trembling body, looking at the face of Xiang Yang who was putting on a simple smile, as if looking at a demon who was grinning widely.

He felt lucky not to have chosen the wrong choice.

"Alright, we will go to the Tree of Life first, then we will head to the Illusory Mist Forest," Xiang Yang leaped up onto Xin Na's back.

Without being ruled, Xin Na who already knew what she should do, immediately flew flying towards the Tree of Life was located.

Upon arrival at the Tree of Life, Xiang Yang plucked all the fruits of the Tree of Life that had been a thousand years old and above. While he was still hundreds of years old, Xiang Yang let him.

Not only took the Tree of Life Fruit, Xiang Yang also took all the leaves of the Tree of Life.

All parts of the Tree of Life are very useful for many different things. Especially the fruit and leaves that can be used to refine various types of pills.

The Tree of Life, which originally looked very graceful with its leaves filling every branch and twig, now looks very different after all the leaves are taken.

After all the business in the Tree of Life was done, only then did Xiang Yang set off towards the Illusory Mist Forest.
