"Young master..? What do you mean by that?" Li Feng asked
"It's young master...son of your father's bestfriend..Yes Hua Qingyun.." Chen Jiahao spoke
"But how did he turned out like that?" Wei Lan said
Chen Jiahao sighed
"Well after Li Feng father killed everyone..he saw the little Hua Jiu..hiding in a cabinet. He couldn't digest the fact he was the son of the woman he loved..so he just left from there but not before he gave Xiao Jiu the poison...which will slowly kill him..The poison is the reason he's like this..." Chen Jiahao replied
"Where were you when all this happened how did you survive huh?" Wei Lan asked suspiciously
"I wasn't in the Blossom Sect when this happened I was at my home town my wife was about to give birth. That's why I wasn't here..and survived but when I came back..I saw Xiao Jiu breathing but unconscious. I took him to a healer. But unfortunately he wasn't able to take his poison out. The reason young master is like this now." Chen Jiahao said
"Then why is he after me..what does he exactly want? And why is this sect now full of snow..?" Li Feng asked rubbing his nose in a thinking manner
"It's because of hatred" Chen Jiahao spoke
"Hatred..?" Shen Yun spoke
Chen Jiahao looked at Shen Yun
"Yes, hatred.. Hate that has turned this province once from blossom to snow"
"Whose hatred?" Li Feng enquired
"Young master...he hates everything now...and most of all he hates you..Li Feng..your father is the reason he lost his mother the one he loved the most..his hate towards the people of his own sect who did the forbidden act..which led to this situation..he hates everything now.."
"Even the sun is afraid of his hatred..that it hides behind the snow mist.." Chen Jiahao spoke
"What does he want from me?" Li Feng said
"Your everything.....your core" Chen Jiahao said in a subtle low voice
"Why, what's the reason?" Li Feng said
"It will help him..removing the poison which is slowly eating him inside but I heard your core is pois—." Chen Jiahao was about to complete the sentence but was shut with Li feng glare..
He didn't want to reveal he's poisoned..well not yet, not like this.
Li Feng sighed "Well, now how am I supposed to solve this situation"
Elder Xun "Sect leader don't worry too much we will find a solution"
"So Xiao Jiu just want to kill me huh?" Li Feng asked
"You can say that. After all..your dad killed his beloved mother and father..he took away everything from him and your father is the reason..he's like this now , so he wants revenge for his family..perhaps after that he will be at peace." Chen Jiahao replied
Suddenly there was a loud thud outside the Archive..
Hurriedly they all stood up and went to check it.
There they saw, the exit of the Archive closed by a huge rock.
"What are we supposed to do now!?" Shen Yun said
"You might know the other exits, you have been living here for years aren't you? Tell me you know the other exits from here don't you!?" Wei Lan asked, looking at Chen Jiahao
"I have been living here for years..but there is just one exit..only this" Chen Jiahao replied
"We don't have much time to talk let's go..hurry and break this rock" Li Feng said
With that he backed away a little and striked a palm hard...but as he striked his palm in the rock.. SUDDENLY—
He was thrown backwards..Shen Yun held him quickly. Few drops of blood dropped from his mouth.
"Li Feng are you okay!?" Shen Yun asked a bit panicked..
Wei Lan without waiting wiped Li Feng lips with his sleeve.
Shen Yun expression hardened a bit.
"Seems like the rock is sealed with magic spell..it must be a strong one that it can handle my palm strike" Li Feng said
Elder Xun glanced at him as if saying it's because you're poisoned right now sect leader.
"Let's try all together" Li Feng said
"But you're hurt—" Shen Yun was saying it until he looked at Li Feng who was looking at him with a subtle softness..which was not casual..not easily to be seen on the Iron Flame...the sect leader face
Li Feng said "You're worried..aren't you? Don't be..I will be fine..you don't need to worry i won't die so easily"
Shen Yun just looked at Li Feng face worried.
Elder Xun spoke " How will we go out..this rock i don't think we can break it easily"
"As i said we all will do it together" Li Feng said
All of them finally agreed
Wei Lan took out his talisman placed it on the rock to break the magic before breaking the rock. Beside his talisman Shen Yun talisman came.
They folded their fingers and "Bind- Driving sea break"
Wei Lan, Shen Yun and Li feng said the spell and striked the rock hard. And that was it the rock shattered into pieces. All three of them together were enough. As soon as they stepped out of Archive they are met with the same boy. Li Feng recognized him. HE is the one who was near the lake that day. It was him..means it was Xiao Jiu..
