“Master, do you really mean it?”

A’Tao suddenly asked before An Bang Ting could provide an answer, stunning Bai Xiaofei and An Bang Ting.

“A’Tao knows that I am no longer qualified to call you Master, but if you die here, A’Tao won’t have a meaning to live either, so, do you really mean what you said?” A’Tao asked again, his eyes stubborn.

Bai Xiaofei couldn’t answer because he didn’t know what A’Tao was up to.

“If you don’t want to answer, Master, forget it. But A’Tao believes that you will definitely do what you promise. Therefore, if possible, please let Tranquil go. No one here has done anything wrong. We just want to repay the kindness given to us, even though we choose the wrong method.” Flashing Bai Xiaofei a faint smile, the tearful A’Tao then turned to An Bang Ting. “Your Majesty, will you please give me a chance?”

“What do you want to do?” An Bang Ting frowned in doubt at how strange A’Tao was acting.

A’Tao smiled again. “Do what a disciple should do,” he said and took out a red bead from his storage bracelet. A thick smell of blood instantly spread.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he stuffed the bead into his mouth. The next second, his aura of a Martial Artist Rank suddenly surged and his eyes turned red as a violent and bloody breath replaced his peaceful energy fluctuation.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei was horrified. He knew what A’Tao was going to do!

“Master, A’Tao is disobedient, but I hope you can understand.” Turning around to give Bai Xiaofei a smile, A’Tao then went straight to Zheng Gong and Zhi Daoyuan. Placing his hands on the corpses, he uttered, “Devouring the Heaven and Earth!”

The corpses gradually dried up as the energy that had not yet dissipated converged onto A’Tao’s palms into two blood beads identical to the one he just ate.

This was the taboo of Devouring the Heaven and Earth: Forcibly using it on living beings or those that have just died, the practitioner can gather the victim’s essence blood to improve their own strength, but the consequence is that their minds will stray, and if this goes on for a long time, they will become a walking corpse that only knows how to kill!

Bai Xiaofei had especially explained this taboo before he taught A’Tao Devouring the Heaven and Earth. He had even said at that time that if A’Tao violated this taboo, he would not hesitate to kill him!

However, A’Tao had violated it now, or rather, he had already done so even before this.

The night of Liu Rushi’s death, before going to deliver Bai Xiaofei’s message to the Leng sisters, A’Tao first chased after A’Da and took away Liu Rushi’s body...

As early as then had he already made this plan. As he said, he was already alone. If he kept living on after losing his master, he might have to suffer for the rest of his life; but with this plan, he could at least go with a clear conscience.

Stuffing the two bloody beads in his mouth, A’Tao’s power soared again. The essence blood of three Grandmaster Ranks combined pushed his body to the verge of collapsing. His skin started to crack all over.

Taking heavy steps, A’Tao tried to control his mind that was spiraling towards insanity as he trudged before Bai Xiaofei and slowly presented the knuckles that Bai Xiaofei had given him.

“Master, I hope you will find a really good disciple in the future! A’Tao lied to you, A’Tao is not worthy of this identity, so, never see you again, my master... “

With that, A’Tao didn’t even give Bai Xiaofei a chance to stop him before he fully activated self-cannibalism. His blood flooded toward his heart and the boy’s heartbreaking voice echoed in an overwhelming crimson glow. When it finally faded, a glittering and translucent blood bead slowly fell on An Bang Ting’s palm.

Tears silently streamed down from the corners of Bai Xiaofei’s eyes...

......

“We should go...” said Leng Liuli from behind Bai Xiaofei, a hint of empathy in her voice.

However, Bai Xiaofei seemed to have not heard her. He just squatted there in front of a small dirt mound without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, the triplets no longer continued to persuade him.

“Say, if I go through the same thing, what choice do you think I would make?” Bai Xiaofei broke the silence after a long time. The question startled the three girls.

“There won’t be such a day, we won’t let that happen. Believe us, and believe everyone around you!” answered Leng Liuli with absolute seriousness. Bai Xiaofei only smiled painfully.

“Who knows. I now know what the future is unpredictable. My previous successes have really made me arrogant.”

The bitterness in his tone put a heavy weight on the triplets’ hearts. They knew that this incident had dealt a great blow to him, especially the final sacrifice of A’Tao.

“Being arrogant is not wrong sometimes. Without your arrogance, where would the people around you get their confidence? Fang Ye, Wu Chi, Yun Jingshuang... Many had no confidence in themselves at all, but they changed little by little under your influence. You may not have noticed, but we can see it very clearly. “

Leng Liushuang’s words had Bai Xiaofei quivering. He slowly turned his head, his eyes flashing with confusion as he looked at her. The two stood, staring at each other. Leng Liushuang’s stubborn gaze never once faltered, until Bai Xiaofei’s lips slightly curled up.

“Maybe you are right, but I still think I should make changes.” Bai Xiaofei stood up and stroked Leng Liushuang’s hair before looking at Leng Liuli and Leng Liuying. “But you can rest assured that I won’t change to the point that you guys don’t know me anymore.”

Bai Xiaofei chuckled. His storage ring then flashed, and a silvery-white boat appeared in front of them.

“Come on up, it’s time for the main business!” Bai Xiaofei took the lead and jumped onto the Downwind Boat.

The triplets exchanged glances and followed him.

Injected with origin energy, the boat turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky. A breeze blew through the place where Bai Xiaofei was just sitting, where a small stone tablet that stood on the small mound was engraved with characters written in powerful strokes –

Beloved Disciple A’Tao.
