Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 267 - The Heartfelt Talk.



Six Months Later, The Guardian Mountain Peak.

It was already close to midnight and the moon hung high above the night sky like a giant shining disco ball.

Its moonlight was like a diffuse ocean above, lessening the inky blackness of the night. It was accompanied by numerous shining stars which hung above as if strung in the sky by some invisible strings, lighting the whole world from its tenebrous.

At this moment, on top of the Guardian Peak, two figures could be seen sitting quietly on the grassy ground while admiring the endless shining stars in the sky which were like a beautiful, surreal blanket above their heads.

One of them was a young man dressed in a robe that was even whiter than snow. He was handsome to the point of being a bit demonic, almost resembling a girl. He had a melancholic look on his face.

As for the other person, he was a middle-aged man with an azure robe. In just like the young man, he also had a melancholic look on his as well.

They each had a huge bottle of wine in their hands. The bottles of wine were half full. From time to time, they would take a sip without saying a word to each other.

Another hour has passed and they were still sitting in the same position while slowly drinking their wine and admiring the beautiful starry sky without saying a word.

"Son, you know. In my entire life, what I am most proud of is you Ling Chen, my son." Suddenly said the middle-aged man as he broke the silence.

"And I am sure that your mom you would have felt the same way if she was still alive. The happiest moment in her life was when she was pregnant with you."

"She would caress her stomach every day with such love and affection that even I was jealous of you."

"You were the most precious thing in her life. All those years she was pregnant with you, she never complained even when her health was failing day by day."

Listening to her father speak, Ling Chen didn\'t say anything. He quietly sat there while listening to him.

Even though his eyes were covered with a magic circle with numerous small runes and marking inside which prevented one to see his emotions through his eyes, one could tell that he was extremely sad at the moment.

"I loved your mother a lot. She was the love of my life. I didn\'t want to lose her so I suggested her to kill you while you were still in her stomach because I knew that she would die right after giving birth to you but she refused."

"She stopped talking for ten years after that. She even swore to commit suicide if I were to do something to her baby. Her love for you was beyond anything I\'ve ever seen."

"Knowing that I couldn\'t do anything to change her mind, I gave up and started to support her. While I was doing my best to save her, I also spent a lot of time with her because I knew that it might be my last."

"You know, even when you were born and her life force was slowly fading away, she was still looking at you with love and tenderness despite knowing everything." Explained Ling Tian.

At this moment, as much as he tried to hold it in, the pain and the grief came out like an uproar from his throat in the form of a silent scream.

And just like that, a single tear slid down from his warm, butterscotch eyes, followed by another one, and another one, until soon, a steady stream of salty tears flowed it\'s way down his cheek, releasing the sadness and sorrow that has been held inside of him for all this time. However, he did not make a sound.

"What I am trying to tell you son is that your mother exchanged her life for yours. She knew before anyone just how amazing you would become."

"You don\'t have to worry about me or this place. You can go and explore the universe in peace and seeking the answers to all your questions."

"If one day you are tired and need a rest, the door of the Heavenly Demon Sect will always be open for you."

"Remember, believe in yourself, steel your resolve. Don\'t let others sway you from your true path. As long as you live your life without regrets, be true to yourself, be true to your beliefs, and that will be more than enough."

"That\'s all I have to say to you, son. Stop worrying about me and this world. It\'s time for you to leave this world and start your journey." Ling Tian said as his facial expression softened and smiled affectionately at Ling Chen.

Ling Tian wore a dignified expression, full of pride, as he was the proud father of Ling Chen, the little devil. He then patted Ling Chen on the shoulder before he stood up and left without saying anything.

However, as he was leaving, a lone tear traced down his cheek, and just like that, the floodgates opened.

As though he was afraid of being seen by Ling Chen, he suddenly transformed into a streak of blue light as he flew in the sky and disappeared.

Now, there was only Ling Chen sitting on the grassy ground of the Guardian Mountain Peak. He slowly wiped away the tears in his eyes. It was the first that he ever cried since he was born.

Despite his strong Will and power, he wasn\'t able to hold the tears in his eyes as he was listening to his father talking about his mother.

After wiping away the tears in his eyes, he slowly lifted his head skyward towards the endless stars before he said with a slight smile on his face." Thank you, mother. No matter where I go or how strong I become , you will always be in my heart. My love for you is eternal and everlasting."
