Chapter 876: Chapter 32: The First Appearance of Evil Light_5
The man known as Uncle, clad in black, furrowed his brow and said, "Moon Scar, calm down. I know you were very close to Fourth Brother usually, but what’s done is done, and there’s nothing we can do. Do you think we aren’t heartbroken? All six of us have been brothers for years, the only getters in the Guild besides the Guild Master. You’ve only reached this level of strength in recent years. We six brothers have lived together for decades! We’re more heartbroken over Fourth Brother’s death than you, but Moon Scar, you have to understand, as a first-rate thief, you absolutely can’t let your emotions affect your mindset. If we hadn’t left that place just now in time, maybe the next target of the Sword of Hades would’ve been you or me, or one of us. You’re right, that youngster isn’t very old, his martial prowess couldn’t possibly be very profound, and maybe he indeed couldn’t use another sword strike. Even if he did use the Sword of Hades again, he wouldn’t possibly kill all of us, we would certainly have had the chance to fight him. But have you thought about it? If I let you go do that, it’s very likely another person would die under his sword. Do you really want to see that happen? The Ultimate Evil Hades Sword is not something we can withstand. No one can escape death under the flash of Hades. If we suffer any more losses, the strength of the Guild will inevitably be greatly reduced, how would I face your father when I return? Besides, don’t forget, our enemies weren’t just that youngster initially. That was in the Elf Forest, and if I’m not mistaken, a large force of elf reinforcements is probably on its way. Ordinary elves are nothing, but those that have reached the level of Elf Envoy, we aren’t sure we can handle them. Child, the most important thing for a thief is to stay calm and always discern the situation in front of you."
Mie Feng clenched her fists tightly, a crazed hatred appearing in her eyes as she nodded lightly and said, "Uncle, I understand, but I must avenge my Fourth Uncle. If I had killed that youngster with all my might from the start, I wouldn’t have given him the chance to use the Sword of Hades. It’s all my fault, all my fault." Tears streamed down her face, her beautiful, large eyes turning bloodshot.
The man in black gently patted Mie Feng’s shoulder and spoke softly, "Moon Scar, we have all witnessed everything you’ve done, and even we would feel ashamed of our diligence compared to you. Since its establishment, you are the only one in the Thief Guild who has achieved getter strength before the age of twenty. You have a bright future ahead of you. Don’t let hatred blind you. You know the strictest rule in our Thief Guild: we must absolutely not harm any life during our operations. Do you want to become an assassin?"
Mie Feng lowered her head, looking at her Fourth Uncle, who had turned into a mummified corpse. He had watched over her as she grew up and had taught her every skill without reserving any for himself. Her heart twisted in pain, making it difficult for her to breathe. Biting her lip, she said resentfully, "Even if I have to stop being a thief from now on, I must avenge Fourth Uncle. Uncle, please don’t try to persuade me anymore."
The man in black sighed and said, "Alright, let’s head back first. This is the territory of the Tian Yuan Clan, and we must leave quickly. We can discuss everything once we return to the Guild. I believe the Guild Master will definitely seek justice from the Assassin’s Guild. For hundreds of years the two guilds, both belonging to the Dark Forces, have not interfered with each other, but this time they disrupted our most important operation. They owe us an explanation no matter what." After speaking, he looked around, then, still reluctant to leave, Mie Feng started the movement technique and headed towards Ya Yuan Clan’s territory.
Accompanied by a group of elves, Yan Shi and his companions soon entered deeper into the Elf Forest. The further they walked, the taller the surrounding trees became, with intertwined green trees providing shade and refreshing air constantly filling everyone’s bodies. Because Xuan Yue wasn’t skilled in martial arts, Tian Ying had specifically arranged for a few female elves, skilled in martial arts, to help her fly. Experiencing the sensation of floating for the first time, Xuan Yue had already forgotten the recent events. In her heart, she kept thinking, How wonderful would it be if I could fly too!
The sounds of gurgling water suddenly reached them. Yan Li said to Moon Scar beside him, "Ah! We’re nearly at Elf Lake. That’s where the elves live, and it’s also the headquarters of the Elf Clan."
Moon Scar was taken aback and asked, "There’s a lake within the Elf Forest?"
Standing beside them, Ya Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, our home as elves is on Elf Lake! You’ll understand once you see it."
Upon hearing Ya Yuan’s words, the group moved forward with curious hearts, all wanting to see what a lake in the middle of a forest would look like.
