The Villain's Redemption

"Sect Master… we are not leaving you behind!" Ji Tian said as he looked at the old man in front of him. He frowned as he glanced at the old man's wounds. "We will not leave!"

However, the Sect Master only looked at him for a few seconds before looking at another elder. "Take him with you and leave. I will delay them."

"Sect Master. This is not right!"

"Shut it and just go inside the ship." He waved his hands and sent them towards the ship. "Go now!"

"Sect Master we can't…" before Ji Tian could say another word, the sect master already activated the artifact that Mo Li gave him. Then he sent them all away. He then stood in front of his cave and looked at the dark skies. Not long after the ship left, strong winds filled the area.

"Eh? Sect Master Jiang… where is everyone?" The man had phoenix blue eyes and long black hair, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"They must have left." Xiawen Dong was wearing white, his clothes were spotless as if he didn't just kill a lot of people from other sects. He walked next to the man with blue eyes.

"Why am I not surprise to know that you would really dare come in here…" The Sect Master hissed.

"Where is she?"

"Who?" the man with the blue eyes asked before he nodded. "Oh! The space user?" He then looked at the Sect Master. "That's right old man. Where is Dong's wife?"

"Hmph! Stop dreaming Xiawen Dong. Did you really think Fang Yu would marry you? She wouldn't even look at you for more than a minute! What makes you think she would angry to marry you?"

"Eh? Really? That woman doesn't like you?" the blue-eyed man chuckled. "I thought you were pretty lucky with women. Who would have thought that— "

"Shut up!" Xiawen Dong hissed as he narrowed his eyes at the old man. "My grandfather will arrive, and so were the other experts of my sect, and our allies. I suggest you tell me where she is or I will kill you!"

"You mean the devils?" the Sect Master would never cower in front of despicable people like this man. "You are a traitor to humanity! The gods will punish you soon!"

"What is he talking about?" the blue-eyed man asked as his eyes roamed around the mountain. "Where is that man?" he was talking about the demon prince. Earlier, he was still able to sense the existence of the prince, however now, it completely vanished. "Where did you send him too?"

The Sect master looked at the man, confused. "To a safe place." He uttered.

"He won't say anything." Xiawen Dong uttered. "Just beat him to death." Right now, he can't beat this old man however, the blue-eyed man is a strong general from the Devil Realm. Just one wave of his hands and this old man would surely suffer.

"Where did you send them too!?" the blue-eyed man ignored Xiawen Dong's suggestion as he glared at the Sect Master. "Answer me! Or I will destroy your whole sect along with you!"

"How lame," the sect master uttered. The ship that Mo Li gave him was enough to hide every single person in the Eight Palms Sect. Even if this man would kill him today, his Sect is still safe. Plus, he also knew that Fang Yu is safe somewhere. Now that he was sure both his disciple and Sect was safe, the sect master wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect his memories.

He narrowed his eyes at Xiawen Dong. "Fang Yu was right about you. You wouldn't even hesitate to betray your own kind for more power."

"Just kill this old man." Xiawen Dong uttered as he rolled his eyes.

"As you wish." The man immediately waved his hand, but the attack that he was expecting to strike didn't reach the old man. "Huh?" He narrowed his eyes and immediately notice the space distortions that seemed to surround the old man.

"What is happening?" Xiawen Dong frowned. "Why is he still alive?"

"How the hell should I know?" the blue-eyed man countered. "It should be that space user. She is around somewhere. Be careful, she just swallowed my attack. She can unleash it against us." Devils cannot use elements. So they have their own way of getting stronger and that was by absorbing spirits and the agony of the people who are dying from their diseases. Because of this, the nature of their body is different than a normal human.

Moreover, the strong devils just like him can especially create some strong attacks enough to destroy mountains and kill thousands of people. However, once these attacks were absorbed by a space user, it would be useless, and the space user could even use it against them.

Just the thought of this made his face dark. He let out a curse as he examined the space clearly. "We can't hurt the old man now. If my guess is right, then that dumb b*tch is already helping him out. He is already in another dimension."

"But we can still see him."

"He was enclosed in another dimension or space," the blue-eyed man said, irritation flashed in his eyes. Space users can be killed easily. But their space can be very troublesome. When they are inside their space, no one would be able to touch them and even feel them.

"I wasn't expecting that you are still as smart as you were three thousand years ago." Mo Li's cold voice echoed as he suddenly appeared in front of the Sect Master.

"You— "

"Hello, old friend. How have you been?" A sinister smile can be seen on Mo Li's face.

"How are you still alive?"

"Why can't I be alive?" Mo Li chuckled.

"Do you two know each other?" Xiawen Dong asked, confused as his gaze darted in between Mo Li and the blue-eyed man. "What— "

"Shut up!" The blue-eyed man suddenly waved his hand and sent Xiawen Dong flying towards a boulder. Ignoring the wounded Xiawen Dong, the man looked at Mo Li. "I presumed… it was you who trained him?"

"Are you here to kill him?" Mo Li asked, ignoring the man's question.

"He is no longer here… you piece of trash!"

Seeing the blue-eyed man's outburst, Mo Li suddenly laughed. "Did you really think… I would let you touch him… again? Commander Xiao, Former General of the Demons who shamelessly converted himself into a devil just because of a woman… do you think I am a fool?"

The Blue-eyed man narrowed his eyes at Mo Li. "You killed her."

"She was your weakness."

"You forced me to betray you!" the man uttered.

"You are a fool." Mo Li chuckled. First and foremost, the one who killed this man's lover was the cruel prince and not Mo Li. Second, Mo Li only cared about training the prince for two lifetimes. This was his promise to his dear friend, the Demon Prince's father. After this lifetime, Mo Li is free to do whatever he wanted to do. Mo Li doesn't really care about this war. All he wanted is to safely transport the prince back into the demon realm.

"You— You are so cruel."

"And?" Mo Li lifted an eyebrow. "What can you do about it?"

For a few seconds, the atmosphere turned suffocating as the two eyed each other. None made a move as they silently assessed each other as if it would reveal each other's strength.

"Since you really wanted to die… then you can just die!" the blue-eyed man screamed before he vanished and reappeared in front of Mo Li. He immediately started attacking, using all the training that he learned from Mo Li. Clenching his teeth, the man tried his best to outmaneuver Mo Li only to realized that the man's strength had come back.

Commander Xiao jumped away from Mo Li. Eyes narrowed he said. "You— how did you restore your strength?"

"Hm?"

"You were supposed to… Answer me! How did you restore your strength!?"

Of course, Mo Li only beamed at him. This time, he vanished and suddenly appeared in front of the blue-eyed man. Mo Li swiftly sent the man a kick, sending him away from the mountain. Then he looked at the space around him and said. "Kill Xiawen Dong." He couldn't feel her, but he knew she was just around, observing the situation.

After a few seconds, Mo Li followed the blue-eyed man and gave him another strong kick.

Seeing Mo Lica gone, the space once again distorted, revealing Fang Yu standing near the Sect Master.

"Master!" She walked towards the old man and pulled him for a hug.

"You brat! Why did you come here? Go and leave! Soon, the traitor sect master would arrive and – your strength." the Sect Master's eyes widened.

"Nevermind that master. I still needed to fight someone. Here… use this to teleport to the location of the ship. Your priority should be helping out your students."

"You-"

Fang Yu smiled. "Master… hurry. I still have some business to attend to," she uttered as she looked at the crawling Xiawen Dong.
