Chapter 225 CHAPTER 224: The Faceless Hermit!The Phoenix bird appeared just beside him after he landed and tried to make the last blow.
The Old man appeared between them and blocked her attack. He was also sent flying with that. Then, the bird tried to make another blow to kill the severely wounded Black Wolf on the ground.
"Little Xin, stop! He is a friend of my Grandpa." A sweet childish voice was carried by the wind and entered the ears of the bird, finally stopping her from making her strike at the last moment.
Actually, her voice would not be able to reach there from that distance. But, when she spoke the words, the wind folded her voice and brought it there. As she was the darling of nature, the wind law carefully relayed her voice to the Phoenix.
"Hmph!"Little Xin, the Phoenix with the feisty character, snorted and disappeared from that spot. He then reappeared beside Little Xiuying. The other phoenix with a gentle attitude in nature also appeared beside her. They were now turned into crimson sparrows and perched on her shoulders.
"Little Xin, you have hurt my Grandpa and his friend very badly." Little Xiuying said, looking at her.

"Little Xin, it's okay. I am perfectly fine. But, you need to apologize to Grandpa Su Feng later, okay." Little Xiuying responded.
Little Xin, the Phoenix nodded her head.
The giant Black Celestial Wolf was currently lying on the ground. He was badly hurt from the attack of the Phoenix. The ground was dyed red from his red blood. He couldn't even move a muscle of his body now.
The next moment, the old man appeared beside him again. He took out two red pills from inside his pills.
"Why bother? Why do you take that strike for me? Why?" The black Celestial Wolf asked. Tears started running from his two big eyes.
The old man remained silent. He looked at him meaningfully and fed him with one of the red pills.
"Just heal your wounds first." He said. And he ate the other red pill.
After a few minutes, all the wounds in their bodies had completely healed.
The giant black Celestial Wolf stood up. Then, he transformed back to the Scrawny man again.
"Brother, I have been rude to you. But, why did you take that strike for?" The Scrawny man asked again.
"Bony, even though we may have our differences in our thoughts. We are still brothers after all. And I am your senior brother. It is my duty to correct you and also to protect you. Do you know the last message our master conveyed to me using his immortal soul sense?" The Old man responded in a gentle tone.
"Master, send you his last soul message! Quickly brother, what did he tell you?" The Scrawny man asked curiously.
"Brother, he told me to take care of you. But, you have lost suddenly. So, I have been searching for you all over the universe until today. And today you appeared before me as a lackey for that bastard Dao. Moreover, you even try to kidnap the little girl I adore the most. Hmm! Bony, you really disappointed me this time. Tell me, what really happened to you? Don't you trust me anymore?" The old man spoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Brother, I was with our master that day when he sent his soul message to you. That day, when we just came out from the Cradle Forbidden Realm, we met a group of men from the God Clans and engaged in a battle with them. Unfortunately, our master had already sealed 97% of his strength after having a fierce battle with the Asura king inside the Cradle Forbidden Realm. And I was so weak to even join in their fights. After half an hour of fighting, they managed to land a heavy blow to our master using me as bait. Master used his last energy to send me out of that place." The Scrawny man started telling him his story.
He then continued, "Brother, that day I feel so helpless. And I don't even have the guts to appear before your face anymore. Sorry, "
"Bony, then, why do you plan to kidnap the little girl? " The old man asked him.
"Brother, from that day onward, I have been tracking the whereabouts of our master. A few decades before, I came to learn that our master had been imprisoned in one of the forbidden dungeons of the War God Clan." The Scrawny man replied.
The old man listened carefully but he was still calm after learning the fate of his master.
"One day, Dao sent his clone and told me about that too. He told me that he would tell me the exact whereabouts of our master if I served him for a hundred years. So, I agree with him and have been doing his side jobs. But, he told me that If I successfully brought that little girl before him then he will give me the details of the master's whereabouts and our deals will be off after this. " The Scrawny man kept explaining his reasons.
"Brother, you are a fool for believing his words. This guy is literally using you. Alright, don't worry about our master anymore. Nothing will happen to him. Hey, Bony. See that man fighting with that bastard Dao, right now. He will bring us to our master soon. " The Old man responded.
"Him," The Scrawny man pointed his finger to Arjuna in the distance and asked disbelievingly, "But, how?"
"Bony, I have been searching for you and master far and near all this time. And one day, I meet a strange hermit in the Floral world. You must also have heard about his name, the Faceless Hermit." The old man replied.
"The Faceless Hermit!" The Scrawny man exclaimed and continued asking, "You mean the Faceless Hermit who was famous for divination in this whole limitless Cosmos? "
