Lord Shadow

Azief looking at this from the gaps of his area smiles. Before he could not see it clearly because of how their fight is sometimes covered by the vines

Now that they enter the entrance area of the gate, Azief eyes could now see their every move.

If one could see Azief eyes right now, the moment Xi Feng and his Martial Uncle executed a move, in Azief eyes they are shadow silhouettes simulating the battle and deflecting that moves, and countering the move,

This could not happen unless Azief himself has deep understanding of the technique.

While those two fight Azief is looking at their swordsmanship and moves and he already devise countless of ways to defeat it or even kill the move before it could even be executed.

In the entrance area of the cave, the chopping moves chop the air and the sound of robes swishing is Xi Feng dodging the chopping moves that could split a boulder into two with one chop.

This time amidst the sound of thunder and the roaring wind, the former member of the same sect and school of martial arts is determined to kill each other.

It is a tragedy and something that is sad. Azief did not sigh he only shakes his head.

When was it that people who did good that is guilty and the people that do bad is revered?

The young man is trusting because he is a kind man. The three people betray him because they are bad people

It is because of that he shoots that stone pebble. Because while he couldn’t stop what happens on top, he could stop what is happening in front of his eyes.

And since they are something he could do easily, he would do it.

Before if he tries to help Xi Feng without knowing the situation, while it is being kind to him, it would not be kind to himself.

After all, how could he know whether this people that attacking the mountaintop is stronger than him or not when he could not even use his Divine Sense or even his legs?

If those people are stronger than him and he interferes in the matter and he got himself killed, then who is going to protect his people?

There is Pandemonium.

Sasha, Katarina, Sofia, Loki, Sina, Wang Jian, Freya, Athena, Budiman, The Immortal Couple that only paints and play musical instrument and the people that trust him and pray for him

Who is going to save them if one day he did not return and his enemies wanted a payback?

Being kind to people is good. But he also has his own people and sometimes because of that he is to be kind to himself and think a bit before he interferes in matter.

And while it is cruel, he knows no one in the mountaintop and he knows not who attacks and why they were attacking.

If he did not hear the story from Xi Feng mouth, he would not interfere. Justice, right and wrong is not easily decided by whether the weak was oppressed or not.

The oppressed will always be the weak, but it doesn’t always mean that the weak is always on the right side or even in justice side

Azief justice is not the same kind of Raymond type of justice.

Sometimes, the weak are oppressed because they are in the wrong side, and the strong oppressed it so it could never rise again

People who based their right and wrong by unconditionally protecting the weak, do not know that sometimes even the weak is capable on being on the wrong side

That is why he did not want to interfere in the beginning. But now that he knows the story, if he still did not help, then that means he is going back on his path

He wanted to be free.

That does not mean flying in the sky and feeling free. It means free from things than binds him. Guilt is one of them.

And he knows his heart could never rest easy if he did not help that young man, not when he is capable of helping him.

He looks at the battle that is ongoing between Xi Feng and atrial Uncle and on his hand there is already a few stone pebble rolling around on his palm.

Inside the cave however, the sound of steel clashing fills the entire caves as it echoes.

Xi Feng and his martial uncle move left and right, one chopping, one dodging and sometimes try to attack but was easily deflected.

Xi Feng Flowing Swordsmanship slowly become even more rigid. The more he tries to follow the moves of the Flowing Swordsmanship, the deep he fell into a quagmire of techniques and skills

Xi Feng martial uncle on the other hand is slowly gaining his rhythm back and slowly his attack become even fiercer and stronger like he was being encouraged by the thunders outside.

His chop swished straight down through the air, and each chop landed heavier than the previous one.

Xi Martial Uncle borrow the power from the momentum of him going down after jumping to execute his chopping attack.

It is why his chopping attack is getting even more faster and powerful.

On the other side of the cave, while Xi Feng and his martial uncle is clashing, their swords and sabers tangled together like a dance of life and death, Feng Xiao and Xu Meng, Xi Feng Senior Brother and Sister did not join their battle

Their eyes were vigilant and their moves are calculated and cautious. They might come together but that does not mean they all like each other.

Feng Xiao and Xu Meng wanted the manual and so they team themselves up with their Martial Uncle. But if things got awry they would not hesitate to run from this cave.

Their attitude tells a lot about themselves as a person. Azief also saw all of this and he smirked.

He could guess why they are being so cautious and why they are so close to the entrance.

But now that they are in the cave, unless Azief wanted to they would not be able to leave if he didn’t let them

The moment they enter this cave; their lives is no longer their lives.

It is in his hand.

He might only use a little force to deflect the saber but if he uses his full force, the stone pebble around his finger could turns into a bullet and pierce their head and kill them instantly.

But Azief did not kill them. Because he wanted to observe more. And he wanted the young man to learn a bit.

He continues watching the charades of people from the gaps of his part of the cave, smiling mischievously like a kid that just found a new toy to play with.
