âQuit dreaming!â Making a crunching noise from his fist, one could literally see the veins popping across He Fei Xiangâs flushed face: âMy Spirit Realm will never perish!â
âHahaha!â Breaking out into hysterical laughter, Elder Junâs madness reverberates across the darkness as the tears slowly trickled down his cheek.
The reasoning? Itâs because the old man could already see the person whom he longed for all these years. Itâs his former mistress, sheâs beckoning him to cross over to the other side with that smile. A clear sign his life has come to an end.
Sadly, before this faithful follower could reach out with his old hand to grasp onto that illusionary shadow, it was too late. Right before those fingers could make contact, his body began to disintegrate and wash away by the bristling breeze of this cold night. Before anyone knew, his entire existence was gone. Itâs as if he never existed in this world.â¦
â¦â¦
Back over at Liu Qing Yuâs side, the lady was still the middle of fleeing through the thick forest when her heart felt something snap and made her stop on the spot. Turning her head around, her eyes dilate in horrific sadness: âElder Jun!â
Tears wouldnât stop dripping down her beautiful face. Sheâs quivering instead of openly crying her heartâs out, all because sheâs afraid of drawing attention from anyone that might be lurking nearby.
After a long while, the lady finally stopped whimpering and grew hard and cold in the face: âDonât worry Elder Jun, I will one day avenge you and make these people turn to dust for what theyâve done!â
Giving one final glance at the light thatâs quickly drawing closer, Liu Qing Yu didnât hesitate anymore and sprinted for the darkness and away from the source of her sorrow.
Moments after the girl fled, several Celestial Rank masters promptly landed on the spot, their gaze sharp as they scanned the area.
âIf weâre not wrong, the miss shouldâve fled in this direction. The Lordâs order, her ladyship must be exterminated on sight!â
â¦â¦
Despite her will and effort, it didnât take long for Liu Qing Yu to notice the powerful auras thatâs rapidly closing in on herself. Bracing her nerves, the girl runs even harder until its hurting on the chest. âIâm almost there, just a little bit more and I will be at the border of the Demon Realm. I will be saved once I get there!â
Finally, the sight of the huge gate signaling her salvation was in sight. Flashing a joyous look, the lady decides for who knows whatever reason to turn around again to take another peek behind her back. Thatâs when her soul felt like its been ripped out of her flesh. The reasoning? Itâs because the pursuers are now firmly right at her back and only needed several more leaps to overtake herself!
The shock of discovering how close her pursuers are definitely affecting the lady here. As a result of the momentary delay in her reaction, the group of old timers immediately jumped in front using this advantage and blocked her path.
Liu Qing Yu hated herself right now. She was so close, only a couple hundred meters away and she would be saved!
âEveryone, I believe I never treated any of you badly while in the Spirit Realm, are you really going to do this to me?â she asks with an almost pleading tone in her voice.
âIâm sorry milady, weâre only acting on the order of the Spirit Lord. You must die tonight!â One of the old men in gray takes a step forward, his stance ready and full of killing intent.
