He quietly asked me if I could go out and spread rumors.
"Come on, Xie Shixiong, I don't deny it. Let the Junior Brother have some fun, so that you won't be bored."
He told me that two months ago, a disciple named Gu Nian from the academy was punished by the Master for killing a fellow disciple and was sent to Yin Wind Gorge. Coincidentally, in two months, there would be the Outer Academy Martial Arts Exhibition. That Junior Brother is exceptionally strong, a rare talent that hasn't been seen in many years. Some Elders are not pleased to see such a brilliant talent rise, as it disrupts the balance that has been maintained in the academy for years. After all, who wants to lose a piece of cake from their own mouth? I don't deny it; they just want to avoid nurturing a talent that hasn't fully matured.
"What do you mean by that?" he continued. "In life, one must learn to be low-key. When it's time to endure, one should endure. They respect me now; when the time comes, I can sigh and take my time. There's no need to rush out before my wings are fully grown; isn't that just foolish?"
However, he didn't deny that those Elders were being excessive. After all, they were all students of Mok Ming Academy; it was somewhat disgraceful to mistreat their own students.
I understood nothing about this. How could I comprehend the nature of a Heavenly Spirit Root? I had lived nearly fifty years without ever seeing one. If nothing unexpected happened, such a talent could cultivate to the Transcendence Stage. He had been stuck at the Golden Core Stage for nearly ten years without any progress. Would such a genius really fall into despair? If he were to be lured away by the Light Path, he would become a straw for them to grasp at, and then he would be an enemy of Mok Ming Academy. What kind of student would show mercy on the battlefield?
Thinking about this made both of us feel even colder. We tightened our clothes and leaned against each other for warmth. The cold wind coming from Yin Wind Gorge was truly unbearable.
Suddenly, my Junior Brother touched his face and realized he had been cut by something sharp; there was a small wound on his cheek, and a bit of blood was oozing out. It felt like it would freeze into ice.
"What on earth was that? How could it be so sharp?"
I looked over at him as he wiped his face and then glanced at my Shixiong. Only then did I notice that he had frozen in place, pointing toward the entrance of Yin Wind Gorge with his leg as if he had seen something terrifying, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How
Before the junior disciple could finish speaking, he swallowed his words back. He too had seen the scene in Yin Wind Gorge, just like his senior brother, pointing at the entrance of Yin Wind Gorge in disbelief, making a gurgling sound as if he wanted to say something.
Blood, blood
Finally, the senior brother reacted, spitting out a few hoarse words. The two of them, terrified, ran towards the depths of Yin Wind Gorge, hoping to return to the Law Enforcement Hall to report. However, they had no chance.
The brief hesitation cost them their opportunity to escape. A torrent of blood from the Convergence surged towards them like sharp arrows, carrying a chilling aura that pierced their bodies. In an instant, two skeletal remains appeared on the spot, their blood scattering with the wind and turning into ice shards that struck against the distant cliff.
Initially, even their bones were frozen at the entrance of Yin Wind Gorge, becoming two skeletons. The subsequent blood splatters struck forcefully, shattering the frozen skeletons into pieces. The two completely vanished from that realm, transforming into nothingness.
The wind carried not just dust but also blood.
The two had no chance to investigate what had happened in Yin Wind Gorge; everything was now beyond their concern. If given another chance, they would surely never return to Yin Wind Gorge for duty again.
A somewhat frail figure slowly emerged from Yin Wind Gorge, engulfed in pale pink flames. The temperature around dropped significantly; even the water flowing from the Yin River had begun to freeze. The once clear water now gradually revealed a crimson hue. In the river appeared fish about the size of a finger, yet with sharp teeth, swimming through the scarlet waters.
It wasn't until the next shift from Dongyi arrived and found no sign of the previous duty personnel that they felt something was amiss and ventured into Yin Wind Gorge to search.
When they saw ten corpses frozen solid standing by the banks of the Yin River, both of their legs trembled uncontrollably. The blood had been drained by the chilling winds; those ten dried corpses were encased in ice like evil spirits, unable to rest in peace.
In a frenzy, they ran towards the Law Enforcement Hall, desperate to relay the news. They had no idea what had truly happened there, but those corpses were dressed in academy attire—surely belonging to elders and disciples of Mok Ming Academy. It was far too terrifying.
