Celestial Overlord - Chapter 76 Weak

“Cheng!” Tian Lee appeared in his normal form near the two who were standing. His anger calmed down a bit, but still, he was unable to completely calm down. The outside world was way crueler and corrupted then he thought. People were acting selfishly, but the worst was they treated other lives as nothing.

“Young master please calm down, It’s over!” Cheng said in a worried tone. She knew Tian Lee was affected by the today’s incident. But the anger in his eyes was still burning like raging flame.

“No,Cheng! This isn’t over, it’s just the beginning! I have to destroy the source, the source that gave all these people the courage to do this” hearing this, Cheng stayed silent for a moment. Then she continued “Young master the intersect competition will happen within a week and the people who were behind this will arrive here, there is no need for the young master to go searching for them,. Please calm down!”.

He knows he can not save everyone around the world, he knows he can not go whenever they are in trouble. So he needed something which could shake the entire world.

Fear! It’s fear that can change the corrupted. “I need a bigger stage, a really vast one to make those corrupted to tremble in fear! They must know that there is someone out there who will come to revenge the innocent souls that have suffered in their hands”

“They must know that there will be only death if they were committing a hideous crime!” a voice full of anger sounded that even made Cheng tremble. Tian Lee’s blood boiled the moment he saw the dead children, there was a limit to his mercy.

He felt a sense of guilt ” what if he had arrived here sooner! Maybe he would have saved them”. The thought was all over his mind.

Just as he was talking he felt a cold hand touching his arms, the small arms were trembling. As Tian Lee looked he saw Zhi Ruo was holding his hands.

“Mister! I can feel that you are blaming yourself for the death of those poor children but it was not your fault, they died because of the greediness of the wicked people. Please do not blame yourself for this, Today you have saved my life and other girls too! I don’t know what would have happened if you were not there!” Zhi Ruo said as she clutched Tian Lee’s hands tightly.

Tian Lee let out a sigh, as he thought about what will happen if he cares about the past events, there will be nothing but hatred. After all, she was right he should be seeing things from now rather than the past event.

He needed to mature more emotionally just like his father said. He recalled a conversation between them.

“Tian’er what is the meaning of strength to you?” Tan Lee asked his son who was sitting beside him, as they were gazing at the sky.

Tian Lee looked at his father as he said “Being powerful! father, The one who can make his enemies tremble in fear.”

Tan Lee laughed hearing his son’s answer, seeing his father laughing at his answer Tian Lee was confused. “Why are you laughing father? isn’t being powerful means strength?” he asked with a confused face.

Tan Lee looked at his son, as he pointed his finger towards Tian Lee’s heart. “True strength lies here Tian’er! A man’s true strength comes out from here! When a person goes through injustice and still stays in the correct path rather than going in the wrong way then he is truly strong”

“But father! Doesn’t that mean the man was weak because of the injustice done to him? If he was strong no one would have done anything evil to him” Tian Lee’s reply, startled Tan Lee.

Hearing such a response Tan Lee laughed again “Hahaha! You will learn one-day, Tian’er, the true strength lies here not just being powerful! that day you will know what being strong truly means”

“Not everyone can stand in the Apex, Tian’er! Some people tend to stay down it’s not because they can’t, it’s just because they don’t try. So what will happen to this people who were branded as weak by the strong? Who will save them from the evil plots of the strong?” Tan Lee continued asking.

Tian Lee thought for some time, “Then I will save them father, I will protect them!” hearing this Tan Lee smiled as he patted Tian Lee’s head.

The memories flashed inside his mind.

“Father!” Tian Lee mumbled under his breath. He calmed down. He was still weak when it comes to being emotional.

“Thank you Zhi Ruo! You made me realize something!” hearing this Zhi Ruo smiled. But as soon as she remembered holding Tian Lee hands she blushed as she moved away. Seeing her Tian Lee laughed.

Cheng returned back as Tian Lee took Zhi Ruo towards the flower shop. On their way Tian Lee saw many people still kowtowing as they prayed, several soldiers rushed through the streets as they all went straight to Xing clan.

The soldiers in guard saw all the things but were really scared, that if they were to interfere the mysterious person may get angry. They all thought as everyone of the soldier just watched the wrath of the mysterious individual.

“Captain! What should we do?” a soldier asked looking at the Xing clan manor. The place looked like a Graveyard. There were only ashes all over the place, none of them survived. Every soldier there swallowed their saliva in fear.

“Quickly send a message to the Emperor! Tell him that an expert appeared in Jiang city” the captain shouted. The soldiers rushed as they all scattered around to inform the main force which was stationed near the border of Jiang city.

Among all the noises Tian Lee was walking as he took Zhi Ruo back. Zhi Ruo smelled the familiar scent, it was their marketplace. “Mister! I can go from here” Zhi Ruo said even though she did not want to go.

Hearing this Tian Lee smiled. “All right then! Take care Zhi Ruo!” he said goodbye as Tian Lee disappeared into the crowd of people who were still staring at the sky. “Hope I can meet you again mister !” Zhi Ruo mumbled.

“Sister!” a loud voice came from behind, Little Hung came running as he cried while hugging his sister. Zhi Ruo held him in her arms as she said tearfully “Thank you for rescuing me, Little Hung”.

The flower old lady and Zhi Ruo younger sister came running seeing her. On that day the people of Jiang city held a single thought in their mind, there is a savior for the weak out there. The Supreme one returned back after fifty years, many rumors spread throughout the city.

Zhi Ruo walked away with her family, “if there is one wish I could ask for it’s just so I can see what type of person you are mister!” she thought.

“Say, Little Hung! How did you hire that Mister to save me?” this was still a question inside her head. Hearing this Little Hung laughed, “I paid my treasure sister! The half bread piece I saved for your birthday” he said as if it was the precious treasure out there in the world. Hearing this even Zhi Ruo was startled.

She didn’t know why but she laughed, a laughter after so many years of tragedy. As her curiosity rose high about this person who saved her. “I really want to see you mister” she said to herself.

In a dark path under the moonlight a young man in blue robes was seen walking with his eyes closed . “Young master those two ants you asked to kill are related to the current demon king, it seems they are preparing war against humans and also they have a hidden motive, it’s to abduct Yoshi!” Yeng voice resounded inside his head.

Hearing this Tian Lee smiled, “Let them prepare! They will make a perfect stage for me ! A stage where i can announce the world my arrival, where i can announce that the nemesis for the evil ones has arrived” Tian Lee spoke as he opened his eyes,the two scarlet eyes glowed giving a frightening quiver.
