Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen 55 Chapter 53: Missing Necklace

" You can only kill the one who took things from you. That's the core lesson we are taught in the sect. Kill the ones who offend you! Kill the one who hurt you! Kill the ones who take from you! And you can't do that just by sitting there like a dead person" Yao let out in a caring tone as he gazed at Xu Ming.

It was unclear if he was talking like that out of sympathy, pity or because he had personally gone through a similar thing.

"Kill the one... " Xu Ming muttered as his blank eyes gained focus. He looked towards the sky as he visualized War G.o.d Zhen's face as he clenched his teeth.

"I see the flames of revenge in your eyes. That's much better than the sea of sorrow from before." Yao said with a smile as he patted Xu Ming's head.

"Who are you?" Xu Ming asked as he looked at Yao. He had finally started to care about his surroundings.

"I'm kinda like your boss. Think of me as in charge of this place. From today, you will be working at the servant in the Mighty Demon Sect. " Yao replied to Xu Ming.

"Mighty Demon Sect? Am I in the Demon Realm? " Xu Ming exclaimed with a shocked look on his face.

"Demon Realm? What's that? We are in the Spirit Continent. Our sect is on the outskirts of the kingdom of Hongxi." Yao couldn't understand what he was talking about. He just a.s.sumed that the boy didn't know anything about the world.

"Anyways, I should probably explain about the sect and your work. "

" Our sect is one of the strongest sects in the land. We are proud to call ourselves an evil sect. The righteous sects have been wanting to destroy us for a long time, but then haven't been able to do anything."

" The sect has 3 parts. The outer sect, the inner sect, and the core sect. The core sect is where the real elites of the sect stay. We are currently in the outer sect."

"We are the Servant of the outer sect. Our duty is to serve the sect and the outer disciples. Since the Elder has made you, a servant, you will have the same job. You are too young though. So you don't have to do the heavy work." Yao started explaining everything to Xu Ming.

" I'll give you simple jobs and teach you the work. " Yao further said. 

" That's enough for today. You can rest for today, your work will start from tomorrow. As a servant, you are ent.i.tled to 2 bronze coins and the basic cultivation manual of the sect along with 2 spiritual pills."

" You will get that tomorrow as well. I'll be leaving now, you can rest. If you have any doubts, then you can talk to this guy over there. He's Dong Zhen. He's our room partner and he will stay here." Yao said as he stood up.

Xu Ming didn't reply and looked towards his hand. The others didn't know, but he had an invisible ring on his finger. As he looked at the ring, he remembered another thing.

He had completely forgotten about the most important thing. He remembered the scene of his father lying on the ground as he threw the coffin necklace towards Xu Ming.

A worry appeared on his face as he started looking all around anxiously.

"The necklace! Where is it?" He let out loud as he didn't find the coffin containing his mother anywhere.

"Your necklace? When I brought you here, you didn't have any necklace. I didn't see any necklace when I picked you up from Elder Jim's place either. Maybe he has a necklace? You can ask him when he comes tomorrow to distribute the coins and pills to the servants. " Yao let out with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Elder Jim? I need to go see him now." Xu Ming stood up as he got off the bed.

" Hey hey... It's not the time to go there. You don't know Elder Jim, but he is a brutal human. If you annoy him, he might even kill you in anger. You can't fulfill your desires if you die. Keep patience and wait. Wait for the proper opportunity. " Yao stopped Xu Ming.

Xu Ming fell in deep thoughts and understood his words, but he still couldn't calm down the anxiousness in his heart.

"Don't worry little bro, Even if Elder Jim has your necklace, he won't eat it. You can ask him tomorrow. '' Dong Zhen also walked closer and told Xu Ming.

Xu Ming still felt anxious, but he decided to wait. Without Yao's help, he wasn't sure if he would even find the person called Elder Jim.

He nodded his head and walked back to the bed.

"It's good that you understand. Rest for today, and I will personally talk with Elder Jim about your necklace when he comes here tomorrow. " Yao smiled as he turned back again and left the hut. 

Xu Ming didn't say anything and just lay on the bed. He stayed like that and didn't even move as he kept looking at the ceiling. At the moment he was even afraid of closing his eyes.

Every time Xu Ming closed his eyes, his father's dying face appeared before his eyes as he told him to run.

His eyes were wet, but he was staying strong and didn't let the tears fall.

"Why... Why..." That was the only question in his mind as he thought about the betrayal of War G.o.d Zhen. He has never expected War G.o.d Zhen to kill his father.

In a single day, he had become an orphan. How grandfather was dead, his father was dead and his mother was lying in a thin line between Life arms death inside the Sealing Coffin of the G.o.ds. 

He didn't know when, but after a long time, he finally fell asleep. That night he dreamt something completely different.
