Back For My Daughter

It was almost dark and the moon was barely visible since it was heavily blanketed by eh clouds which didn't want its cool rays of light to fall upon the land.

Normally this kind of night would usually be eerie and many would be afraid to come out in spite of fear and the coldness within the atmosphere.

But right now, a figure fell on its knees with utter shock and fear in its eye.

Yes, it was EYE and not EYES, because the figure only had a single eye.

As for the other, there was nothing in the other eye socket and it was a completely pitch-black mass of mud.

And this figure's face was also wrapped in strips just like a corpse wrapped like a mummy.

And if it was any other time then anyone would be horrified to see such a figure, but right now, there was the same if not even a large amount of fear and shock on the face of this figure as he clutched his left palm near his chest where anyone's heart would be present.

"Who...who are you?"

As the words left the throat of this mummy-like figure he stared at the person standing right in front of him.

The figure resembled that of a woman.

The hair of this woman was a bit messy, and she was wearing plain trousers and a t-shirt.

Although she could be said as beautiful, but one would feel a bit eerie seeing the twisted smile on her face.

"Why don't you laugh right now huh, I remember you laughing when you killed my son in front of my eyes."

Although there was a twisted look on her face, tears could not help but stop dripping from her eyes.

In fact, one could also hear the teeth-gritting sound which came from her jaws.

It looked as if she was gnashing not just her teeth in anger but with such strength that it threatened to break her own jaws.

She had not answered the question of the caped figure but asked him a question instead.

This caused the Corpse General who was already horrified to the core to shake as if he had remembered something.

A few years ago, at the mountain region where he had arrived from and rested for all these years.

He had seen a small family of three, a father-mother and their son who was about 6 years of age.

At that time he was ordered by his master to get him a vessel since he had sensed someone who could be a good vessel for draining all the vitality.

At that time he had to snap the boy's neck since he had always done the same thing to all the vessels which he brought for his master.

At that time he didn't feel as if there was someone else who had noticed this at all.

But unaware to him in one of the corners, this woman who stood right in front of him with a twisted look on her face but an obvious pain flashing through her eyes was holding her mouth as she saw her son being killed by something which looked like a person but was definitely not a human.

After which she had fainted on the spot from the pain and sadness of losing her son, later on, she was considered someone who had lost her sense.

But that was indeed true, the psychological impact on her mind and soul after seeing her own son being killed in front of her eyes was not something anyone could see and still be fine with.

But, no one knew that although she had turned insane, one thought continued to remain in her mind.

Which was to kill this something that had taken away her son from her.

All these days when she had been in the city she could sense that there was this same feeling that she felt back when she was in the mountain that year when her son as snatched away from her by that THING.

"You..."

With a bit of shock on his face, the Corpse General stared at the woman who stood in front of him while staring with cold eyes filled with the lust of wanting him dead.

But right now, he could feel the pain coursing throughout his body.

And this time, it was not just similar to that of the fire from before, but the pain that coursed throughout his body was much more hellish than before.

As for the source of all this pain and hellish treatment.

The Corpse General glanced at his chest within which was a knife which was plucked right within.

But this knife didn't look in any way like a normal one.

That was because there were a few dharmic inscriptions written on it.

And the most shocking thing was the fact that this knife's blade had a fire burning on its edge.

As for the fire, it looked like the Fire Of Pridid which lay right just a few meters away from him, still burning his hand as if a small worm trying to eat a big leaf which was about tens of times bigger than itself.

"Haha, I knew that I won't be able to kill you, but this person has helped me quite a lot."

The woman laughed as she glanced at the silver knife which had its blade burning with a scarlet flame and was half within the Corpse General's chest and then pointed at a young man who stood a few feet behind her with a placid expression on his face.

This person was none other than Ye Qian, but right now, he was staring at the woman's back with a large amount of confusion on his face and also some amount of shock.

He had seen everything that had transpired ever since this woman arrived.

In fact, it was also a bit shocking for him to see just how she had been able to use the Fire of Pridid in such a method which should have been quite risky for a mortal.

But he was nonetheless relieved with this outcome as he looked at Yuan Meng who seemed to have started to wake up after all this long as he took steps closer to her.
