Chapter 3 Apprenticeship
Night Star opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eyes was not the ruins of Donglai Town, but a chaotic battlefield. It was as if he stood up and looked around him, but as soon as he tried to move, he realized that he couldn't. And he was now actually a baby, lying in a closed metal capsule.
"There are traitors in the Guardian Alliance, they have united with the Styx Army, and we were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses."
"How many troops do we have left?"
"It's less than half of what it used to be, the traitors of the Guardian Alliance know us too well, it's very bad for us, it's so far away from the family power, I'm afraid it's too late to support."
"What the hell are they trying to do".
"They are coming for the young master."
"We swear to protect the young master to the death, general, take the young master to break through."
"I'm afraid it's too late, I'll open the space barrier and let the young master leave, I need time."
"Everyone, hold the camp and buy time for the young master".
Night Star listened quietly to all this in the metal capsule, he wanted to know who these people were, who he was, he wanted to ask them, but he couldn't open his mouth.
The shouts of the battle outside did not stop, the battle became more and more intense, and you could clearly see those enemies, the green-faced fangs were like thousand-year-old zombies, these shriveled zombies pounced desperately, and then blew themselves up. But no one took a step back, fell upside down and got up on the stand, and the battle was worthy of tragedy and madness.
As the minutes ticked by, the soldiers fell one by one, and Night Star felt that time was passing very slowly, and every minute was torment. The space slowly cracked a crack, and finally slowly formed a pitch-black wormhole.
"Quick, push the young master into the wormhole."
Through the transparent hatch, Nightstar could clearly see two men in metal armor running over, and their faces were covered by metal armor. Night Star was slowly pushed into the wormhole.
But just as Night Star was about to fully enter the wormhole, the enemy pounced. Then there was a flash of light, and there was a bang.
Nightstar sat up from the ground in fright, gasping for breath.
"Who the hell are you, and who am I?".
"Master, you dreamed of them again, this time you can see clearly that they are not", Xiao Sang asked with concern.
"No", Night Star looked up and realized that this was no longer Donglai Town. "Where is this".
"This is a hundred miles away from Donglai Town." It was a man in a white robe who spoke and was one of the people who was fighting in Donglai Town.
Night Star turned his head, only to realize that there were other people around him, including the mayor's two granddaughters. They were far away. Night Xingchen looked at the person who spoke vigilantly, he knew very well in his heart the strength of the person in front of him, and it was not enough to destroy him a hundred times.
Kong Mingjie looked at the vigilant night star, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Hehehe! Don't be nervous, if I want to kill you, I don't have to wait until now." You're hungry." Saying that, Kong Mingjie put the roasted rabbit leg in front of the night star.
"Nope". Night Xingchen wanted to refuse, but his stomach rumbled very unhappily. "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, tell me what you want to do."
Faced with Ye Xingchen's single knife straight in, Kong Mingjie did not feel embarrassed, but felt that Ye Xingchen was very straightforward. "Little brother, what are you going to do next?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Well, if you don't have a place to go, why don't you follow me later, I happen to lack an apprentice."
"Be your apprentice! uh! I'm not interested."
"Don't you want to get rid of your strange abilities."
This is said to the itch of the night star. Night Star suddenly became interested.
"I checked your body and found a strange curse mark in your body, it should be caused by that thing, I can help you seal it up."
"You're telling the truth". Ye Xingchen looked at Kong Mingjie's serious expression and didn't look like he was lying, and this person's strength was indeed terrifying.
"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship."
Kong Mingjie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he didn't expect Ye Xingchen to be so crisp and unobtrusive.
"This is a Heavenly Fortune Rune Stone that can suppress your strange abilities."
Night Star took the rune stone, "Master, when will you help me seal this ability?"
"Hahaha! Don't be in a hurry, you take a short rest first, and we will go back to the sect in a while, and wait until the sect is talking."
Nightstar sat on a huge sword and watched the rapidly regressing scene around him. Kong Mingjie stood at the front and controlled the flying sword, while the mayor's two granddaughters sat in the back, and they still did not come out of the fear of the destruction of Donglai Town. And the two of them still have a fear of Night Star, after all, Night Star's prestige is well-known in Donglai Town.
"Master, how long is it until you get to the sect?"
"Come on, climb over the hill in front of you and you'll be there."
Soon, Night Star and his party came to the barren mountain that was towering into the clouds.
I saw that Kong Mingjie took out a token, and then, the surrounding space distorted, and a hole appeared.
Kong Mingjie saw the puzzled crowd and explained: "There is a large enchantment array around here, and you must hold a token to enter."
"What about the lack of tokens?", Nightstar asked curiously.
"Then you'll be trapped in the big array, and you'll never think about it. Let's go, let's go in".
Entering the sect, Kong Mingjie recruited a deacon, pointed to the mayor's two granddaughters and said, "They are now outer disciples, arrange for them", and left with Ye Xingchen after speaking.
Kong Mingjie said to the night star: "I will take you to see my master, that is, your grandfather."
"Oh". Night Star didn't say much. Xiao Sang stood on the shoulders of the night stars, and there was no noise in the past.
It didn't take long for Ye Xingchen to follow Kong Mingjie to a large hall, and on the hall sat an old man with white hair and fairy wind bones, this person was Kong Mingjie's master Kong Xinde.
"The apprentice is back".
"Yes, the apprentice is back."
"How's it going?"
"Let him run".
"That ghoul sect's remnants are not as strong as you, how could they let him run away."
"That guy is too cunning and uses others as a threat, I can't do it, and I almost die first."
"Forget it, it's good that you can come back safely. Hey, who's that little guy?"
"Oh, this is my new apprentice."
"Apprentice, I remember that you never wanted to accept apprentices, didn't Han Yu's little guy want to worship you as a teacher, you still refused, why do you think of accepting apprentices now."
"Han Yu's roots are okay, and he can barely be a registered disciple, but these family forces in the sect are complicated, and the disciples don't want to get involved in these fearless battles, and Xingchen can't come to see the ancestor and grandfather."
"The apprentice grandson visits the grandfather".
"Huh, this little guy is a natural god, a legendary god." Kong Xinde's eyes were burning.
"Yes, a divine body that has not come out for 100,000 years, a rare physique, master, you are looking at his root bones."
"This, this, this." Kong Xinde has been doing this for a long time before he popped out a sentence: "Tianling Root".
"Yes, that's right".
Kong Xinde exclaimed for a long time: "This physique and this spiritual root are in one person at the same time, this is too against the sky, this is really God bless my Tianyuan Sect, with him, our Tianyuan Sect is just around the corner."
"But". Kong Mingjie spoke a little slurred.
"But what". Kong Xinde was a little puzzled.
"Master, you're looking inside him."
Kong Xinde grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand and probed carefully. Kong Xinde's divine consciousness wandered in the body of the night star. But when he probed into Nightstar's mind, he was suddenly startled.
If you look closely, there is a strange text suspended in the night star's mind, this text flashes and flashes, and the gray-green light emits around it, this is the spell mark.
"Good evil spell seal, this evil energy is still very weak, if this energy will control the host once it grows, now what we can do is kill him." Kong Xinde pointed to the night stars with regret.
When Ye Xingchen heard Kong Xinde say that he wanted to kill him, his heart was tight.
"Master, apprentice, please help Xingchen."
"It's not that the teacher doesn't want to help him, it's too risky. His rebellious physique must have grown up against the sky, but if he is controlled by the curse, have you ever imagined what the consequences will be."
"Before this spell grows, seal it, and when the stars become stronger, maybe they can control this spell seal."
"This, but this, in case he can't control it, but is controlled." Kong Xinde was a little hesitant.
"Is it just because of a case that my apprentice's life will be buried?"
Kong Xinde had nothing to say.
"Master, I am an orphan, I have tasted the taste of being lonely and unclothed and being bullied by others, Xingchen is also an orphan, can he let him suffer so much, and finally let him die, he has not experienced those beautiful things. And Xingchen is kind-hearted, he was bullied by the residents of the town since he was a child, but when the town was destroyed, it was he who stepped forward to save the people in the town, and if it weren't for Xingchen's help this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."
"Grandpa, my life is up to me, not to the sky, shouldn't my generation of warriors change their lives against the sky, how can I retreat because of a few difficulties, I don't have any grandiose words, and I don't have any lofty ideals, but I don't have the habit of giving up lightly. Life and death are downbeat, if you don't accept it, you will do it, death is not terrible, what is terrible is to give up without effort, if you insist on killing, I am helpless". Night Star knelt on the ground and looked like he was dying generously.
"Master, the apprentice has been adopted by you since he was a child, you taught me kung fu, I have nothing to repay you, I will take this life, you take it."
Kong Xinde looked at these two and was very helpless: "You both say so, what else can I say." I'm scared of you, but don't be too happy, I'm not doing it for nothing, I'm conditional."
"As long as I can help, I will agree to any conditions."
"I'll talk about the conditions later, let's talk about the seal first, the seal is not a simple matter, you come with me to the secret room."
