Chapter 1585
1585 The Choice Between Life and Death
Duan Qing—the Prince of the Realm Palace, and a Renhuang level cultivator—had fallen here .
The two of them were at the same level, and since Duan Qing had reached that level earlier, his knowledge of it was deeper . He had already forged three Wheels of the Great Path and reached the next, most powerful part of the Renhuang plane . However, he had been wiped out by Qi Xuangang . His Divine Spirit had been destroyed, and his life force had been scattered . He had never been given a chance to surprise .
Of course, Qi Xuanguang had used techniques that hurt himself in order to forcibly increase his power . At the same time he had killed Duan Qing, he had needed to wound himself . This is what made the others look so worried . They did not care whether Duan Qing lived or died . On the contrary, they cared more about Qi Xuangang . They couldn’t let anything bad happen to him .
He was the only one who still knew about the disappearance of the divine item .
At the moment that Duan Qing died, a burst of terrible energy pressed down on Qi Xuangang . His Divine Spirit returned to him in a flash, but it burned up in the furnace of the Great Path . Endless divine light from the sky still pierced his mind, and the countless characters of the great path exceeded the limit of what he could bear .
His Divine Spirit and his body were bathed in divine fire . The burst of powerful energy began to dissipate . The endless light burst and shattered, and the will within his mind was burned away to nothingness . In a flash, his level decreased, and he was no longer as strong as before .
“What have you done?” Terrible divine light shot out of Shen Yao’s eyes as he looked at Qi Xuangang . He could feel Qi Xuangang’s soul weakening . Previously, he had burned away his own soul in order to create will and forcibly use it in an attack . In addition to killing Duan Qing, he had also destroyed a part of his own soul .
Qi Xuangang opened his eyes and looked up at Shen Yao . He looked incredibly calm . It was as if everything ended here with him .
“You burned your own soul . Did you destroy a part of your memory?” The cultivator from the Shen clan strode forward, staring daggers at Qi Xuangang . But he no longer cared . He looked as if he was now free .
He knew he had wiped away many of his own memories, and he had forgotten which ones they were . It was probably information about Feixue, and about his escape . In this way, even though the Shen clan had powerful techniques, they would have no way to gain any valuable information from his mind about Feixue .
He had wiped away these memories . So now, Feixue must be safe, right?
He did not know, as he no longer had those memories .
He had forgotten, but he felt at peace .
Jie Huang of Realm Palace walked over to Duan Qing . He cradled the body in his arms and looked at Qi Xuangang, his eyes full of killing intent .
Today, Qi Xuangang had returned, and before everyone’s eyes had killed his son Duan Qing . He was the heir who had made great contributions to the Realm Palace . He had created the palace’s current prosperity with his own hands .
But he had been slain by Qi Xuangang like this .

However, he understood that the Shen clan would not allow him to take revenge .
The Shen clan would not let Qi Xuangang die .
“All his memories are fractured . They have been wiped away,” said a powerful figure from the Shen clan, looking at Shen Yao .
There was an ugly look in Shen Yao’s eyes . He would never have thought that his Uncle’s disciple would be so fierce . It seemed that he had already thought of everything before he had returned and had cut it all away, removing all hope for the Shen clan . Although he had returned, he did not give them a chance .
Qi Xuangang had returned just to put an end to this matter and to kill Duan Qing .
“This is the way things are . So give him to me,” came a voice . The one who had spoken was naturally the Sky River Great Elder . He walked forward towards Qi Xuangang .
Shen Yao looked at the Sky River Great Elder and said, “He came here to bring matters to an end of his own free will . You should not worry about this anymore . ”
He would naturally not doubt the Sky River Great Elder again . Qi Xuangang had come to bring matters to an end, so he could definitely not give the information to the Sky River Great Elder . That would be foolish . Would the Sky River Great Elder be in danger because of this? Judging by Qi Xuangang’s present actions, this was impossible .
By doing this, the Shen family could not get the information they wanted . Back when Qi Xuangang had just fled, the powerful figures of the Shen clan had searched through all of the Tianhe Realm thoroughly . Then they had spent several years searching throughout the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path for some trace of him . But they had not found him, so they had given up .
Now he was here, which left only Feixue . And Feixue had been young when she had left . After so many years, her appearance and aura would be totally different . Even if they traveled through the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path and covered them all with their spiritual will, they would not be able to recognize her .
But they had to bring Qi Xuangang back with them to see if they could obtain any clues from him .
The Sky River Great Elder’s aura was terrible . It surged out from him, but Shen Yao stood in front of him calmly . Qi Xuangang turned his head with great difficulty to look back at the Sky River Great Elder and said, “Master, your disciple has not been filial . I can no longer remain by your side to take care of you, nor can I inherit your mantle . ”
The Sky River Great Elder pointed at Ye Futianand said, “Your disciple can inherit my mantle . And your granddaughter is safe . I will teach her to cultivate . ”
Qi Xuangang looked at Ye Futian and saw him step forward, up to the Sky River Great Elder .
The people of the Shen clan had said that his master had ruined his own memory . It seemed that his memory of him had been wiped away as well .
“Don’t worry, brother . I will cultivate well and take care of Master,” said Ye Futian to Qi Xuangang . He bowed to him, but only him and the Sky River Great Elder understood the meaning behind the bow .

“Mm . ” Qi Xuangang nodded . His face was pale, and his aura was growing weak . He looked up into the sky . He seemed to see a beautiful figure there . He should have already been with her . Why was he still alive?
Qi Xuangang himself did not understand why he was not seeking death .
He did not understand, but the Sky River Great Elder and Ye Futian did .
“Bring him back to the Shen clan,” said Shen Yao . Chains of the Great Path fell upon Qi Xuangang, binding him up and carrying him into the sky .
“Take care, Uncle,” said Shen Yao to the Sky River Great Elder with a slight bow . Then he turned and flew up into the sky .
Brilliant divine light flashed, and Qi Xuangang was pulled up into the sky . He grew more and more distant until, finally, he disappeared .
Qi Xuangang looked down at his master as he was being pulled up with a calm smile . He seemed to be free from worry . He did not know why, but he felt very relaxed .
He looked at Ye Futian as well . Why did this man look so familiar? It must be because he was another one of the Master’s disciples .
The two of them had the same origin .
From now on, the Master would have to rely on this other disciple .
“Come back to us,” whispered the elder as he watched the disappearing figure . Ye Futian nodded . The two of them turned and walked away as if nothing had happened . They seemed very calm, but there was some sorrow in their tranquility .
The Sky River Great Elder was getting old .
There were times when he felt powerless in the face of all this . If it had been in the past, he would have fought . He would not have allowed the Shen clan to take Qi Xuangang .
But this time, he had not fought . And he had seemed calm the whole time .
Perhaps he was truly getting old .
Many people were looking at Tianhe Palace and at the tall and mighty emperor, as well as the fallen Duan Qing . It seemed that the Emperor had sold out the Sky River Great Elder, resulting in his three thousand disciples being killed .

Perhaps he was numb due to the things that had happened back then—so numb that there was no passion left in him .
Three thousand of his disciples had been killed, and now Qi Xuangang had been taken away . Would this incite him at all?
Even Qi Xuangang had come back, willing to kill the traitors at any cost .
He had questioned and killed Duan Qing outside the palace .
The old man and the young man walked side by side .
The elder’s voice appeared in Ye Futian’s mind . “Your master came here, seeking death . ”
“I know,” answered Ye Futian mentally . His Master had not planned to leave here alive . He had come seeking death .
His death would be beneficial for many people .
Feixue was well taken care of, as she was set up in a Supreme Region . His Master would not seek to drag her into any more trouble, and so he would have no contact with her . Thus, he had returned to the Tianhe Realm alone .
“But he did not die,” said the elder .
“It’s because of me . As long as he is alive, the Shen clan’s eyes will remain on him . No one will worry about the won who will inherit his mantle,” said Ye Futian . Death would be easier for his Master . He already had the will to die . But he had come to the Tianhe Realm as well, which changed his Master’s plans . When he learned that the Shen clan was coming, he had appeared earlier, right outside the palace . He had cut off any road of retreat for himself . Moreover, he had destroyed his own memory .
Life was harder than death for him .
Life would be full of humiliation . The Shen clan would torture him, which was something he was not willing to undergo . But as long as he was alive, they would not pay any attention to Ye Futian . When the Master was there, why would they pay attention to a disciple?
As the two of them were talking, they reached the mountain . They stood there calmly, looking out into the distance . When she saw that they had returned, Ping’an calmed down . But she did not see Qi Xuangang, which made her sad .
“He thinks that his death will put an end to things . But it is not that simple . ” As the two of them descended upon the mountain, the Sky River Great Elder looked up into the sky .
An end?
How could it bring an end?
Could killing the traitor Duan Qing and dying himself bring an end to things?
It was too early .
Ye Futian looked at the old man .
It was not that simple .
“You should not leave the mountain again . You should stay here and cultivate . Then you will reach the Renhuang plane faster,” continued the Sky River Great Elder . Ye Futian nodded .
The elder looked off into the distance and said Ping’an coming towards them . He smiled warmly when he saw her pretty face .
“Ping’an,” he said .
“Teacher . ” Ping’an looked at him . She looked like she was going to say more, then stopped . She wanted to ask something, but she did not .
“Do you want to live somewhere else? Find a spiritual partner? Give up everything and choose a different life?” asked the Sky River Great Elder .
Ping’an looked up at him, and her eyes hardened . She shook her head . She did not say anything, but her answer was in her eyes .
The elder nodded slightly . He reached out and gently patted her on the shoulder . He looked off into the distance .
If she didn’t want to, then she didn’t have to!
