### Notice ###
After hearing the stories from the Principal, they couldn't help but to shudder in horror imagining the whole situation going on at that time.
To think that this Demiruke's virus was a product made by those Dark Sect members, it seems that they were indeed the true enemy of mankind!
Who in the world would be sick enough to turn humans into monsters and call them as experiments and samples?
But of course, the Principal left out some part of the story purposely in view of the people that were involved during that time, in particular of how Meng Yue could no longer conceive her own children.
The only one who knew about that secret was the three of them; him, the Vice-Principal and Liu Sheng Juan.
After all, this was a matter that had shocked Meng Yue thoroughly, and left a deep mental scar in her heart. This was also the reason why she decided to leave the capital and live a reclusive life in the remote corner of a faraway village for the rest of her life.
Thus, they just could not talk about it so casually like that to everyone and decided to keep it to themselves.
As to how she was able to have Duan Li as her son, they were a hundred percent sure that he was adopted by her from someone, and that she cared for him as if he were her own child.
Perhaps, Duan Li was the reason why she managed to have the lively eyes and colorful expression like she has back then once more..
"Did you say that, my mother was attacked.. and then got infected by that virus, which was made by this.. Dark Sect people?" Duan Li suddenly spoke out slowly, and the air around him turned viscous as if it was heated up by a burning hot surface.
"Yes.. that was why she reacted as she did just now when she saw that black stuff inside that monster core.." the Principal replied while pointing to the floating infected monster core, but seemingly to notice the weird air flowing around Duan Li, he couldn't help but to ask, ".. you okay?"
"Hmm? Yeah.. I'm okay.." Duan Li answered in a flat tone, but his mind was rewinding back to the memories of when he saw his mother died.
"Back then in that timeline, mother was hurt badly that I couldn't even save her.. and now.. someone almost killed her too?"
Those people..
"THEY WILL DIE FOR THAT!!"
Wengg!
The crimson mysterious pearl suddenly glowed and vibrated intensely inside his lower dantian, before streams of red spiritual Qi flowed out from it and mixed together with the rest of his body.
Whhrrrr..
CRACK!
The ground beneath his feet sunked one inch as the pebbles around it began to rattle. His long black hair then floated slightly as if there were winds brushing against it and seemed to dance malevolently in the air. His clear black pupils turned deep crimson and the aura he was letting out at this moment..
Was a pure, uncontrollable thirst to kill!!
Hisss!
"What a murderous intent!" the Principal glared with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
This was the first time he had ever felt such a deep, powerful killing intent that could rattle even his bones!
It was terrifying to such a degree that his back was drenched in sweat and he had some difficulties in breathing due to its pressure.
One has to know that he was a pinnacle expert of the Nascent soul realm in the Jiu Empire, and he was still affected to such a degree was just unthinkable!
It was as if the person in front of him was not a human but an extremely powerful wild beast instead!
Gulp!
The others also felt this insurmountable aura and couldn't help but to swallow a mouthful of saliva in fear, and when they tried to retreat a few steps back to ease the heavy killing intent pressuring against them, they realized that their feet refuses to move according to their will and remained rooted on where they stood!
To think that the killing intent Duan Li was exuding right now had affected their ability to control their own body, just what kind of notion was this?
CRACK!!
Not only that, his killing intent only seemed to grow more potent as time goes on!
"Urghh!"
Several of them began to fell down on their knees as their vision slowly turned dark. They could not even let out a proper groan!
If this were to go any more longer than this, they would collapse and faint, and some might even suffer a few injuries!
"Hey brat.. what's happening to you? Snap out of it!" the Principal called out, yet it appeared that his voice does not seemed to reach out to Duan Li's ears.
Tap!
Duan Li's mother slowly stood up and managed to overcome her previous sudden reaction due to her trauma.
"Is he angry.. because someone hurt me?" she said inwardly, her eyes slowly turned watery, feeling extremely touched that her son would get so worked up because of that.
Tap! Tap!
With gritted teeth, she stepped forward towards Duan Li slowly, as the killing intent the latter was radiating out right now was indiscriminate and affected her too.
"With this much power in you.. I'm sure you would be able to exact revenge for your mother one day.." she clenched her hands tight.
Only she herself knew and understand of how much mental pain and torment that she had to endure and suffered all these while because of that incident. If she were to lost the ability to cultivate anymore, then so be it. But as a woman that could not give birth on her own was something that she could never accept at all.
That was until that one fateful encounter, when that mysterious person descended down from the skies, bringing in about rainbows as he floated down gently to approach her with his hands behind his back while appearing stoic, that her entire life began to bloom once more.
That mysterious person had performed a 'miracle' unlike anything she had ever seen before.
Although that person was a bit brazen in nature, casually throwing his arms to pull her by the waist when they first met, and then suddenly saying something so embarrassing like becoming his wife from out of the blue!
But still, had it not been for that person giving her a miracle, she would have probably ended her own life already..
Tap! Tap!
After some struggle, she finally arrived right in front of her son, but the latter seemed to be consumed with extreme rage that he didn't even notice his own mother standing right in front of him.
Tap!
As much as she wanted to place her hand on her son's shoulder, she was shorter than him, thus she could only hold out his hand together with her small hands and then spoke out, "Young man, snap out of it.. your mother is fine now.."
Whhrrrr..
The terrible killing intent finally receded slowly as his crimson eyes turned back to normal.
"Huh? Mother?" Duan Li said in confusion, "What happened?" he asked.
His mother only shook her head with a smile and then hugged him tightly, full of emotion as her tears finally trickled down from the corner of her eyes.
My son.. you are the blessing of my life..
"Eh?? Mother, why are you suddenly crying? People are looking at us!" Duan Li said with his face turning red in embarrassment as he panicked.
The people around him that had finally escaped their previous predicament could only sighed in relief and watched the entire scene with an understanding expression and smiled awkwardly.
After all, even if it was them, if such a thing were to happen to their parents or loved ones, they would definitely find the person responsible and deal with them thoroughly!
Just that the killing intent let out by this man in front of them was to the very extreme and this made them very confident of one thing;
That the mysterious man from that Dark Sect or whatever would be finished one day!
There was on old saying that every dragon has a reverse scale that one should not touch at all cost, lest they would watch every single thing be thrown into an eternal damnation!
"Ohh right! The Principal had said before that mother got infected by that virus? Was it already extracted out?" Duan Li said seemingly to remember the most important matter.
His mother wiped off her tears and shook her head dejectedly, "How could that be possible? My infected meridians was only cut off from the pathways.. and even until today, those things still existed within me.."
The Principal nodded, "That's right.. even though the infected meridians was already cut off, its nature as pathways still allowed spiritual Qi to enter it albeit at an extremely miniscule amount that the virus could continue to feed on.. thus it could be said that, it would only be a matter of time, before she.. sigh.." the Principal shook his head.
Hearing this, everyone's expression turned dejected as well as they realized that eventual outcome.
If the time really comes, would she have to.. kill herself before she turned?
"Mother.. can I see the wound?" Duan Li said.
"This.." his Mother was a little taken aback by her son's sudden request. She was about to reject it at first, but since the secret was already out, she might as well just show it to him.
Lifting up her clothes slightly, it soon became apparent to everyone's view on the wound on that left abdomen of her's.
"T-This! It has already turned partially?!" the Principal said in horror, "Why did you not tell us?!"
Meng Yue sighed, "I don't want to trouble anyone anymore.. besides, even if I did.. what can we even do about it?"
Mo Shinfeng, Jiu Yinxing and the others who had never seen it before let out a series of gasps, shock and disbelief as they covered their mouth.
"Half of her body had already become like that of a monster.."
Just as everyone tried to come up with a sentence to show their sincere condolences, Duan Li suddenly broke the silent atmosphere.
"Ohh! This is nothing too terrible.. I can cure it!"
"..." everyone.
...
I hope this chapter along with the next would ease some of the readers here from hating the mother too much.. xD
Enjoy and thanks for reading! ;)
