This way, the monarch would not die once he returns, and her grandfather wouldnât become a sinner. He wouldâve succeeded in preserving his values and his name....
The woman in blue had a slight change in her expression after that. Flexing her muscle as she pinched the childâs hand, everyone could hear the sound of brittle bone snapping.
In light of the excruciating pain though, Ji Song didnât dare utter a single cry. Sheâs afraid her voice would make her grandfather regret and change his decision.
âJi Sky, Iâll give you one last chance, if you donât say where Heavenly Flame is then Iâll strangle your granddaughter!â The vile womanâs eyes were cold and sinister as a snake.
âSong!â Ji Sky issued a despairing roar. Grabbing the nearest weapon he could find, the old grandfather slashed into the air with an arc at anyone who blocked his path, âCome after me if you want to kill me, donât touch my granddaughter!â
The other elders shared a glance with each and got a mutual understanding to enter the fray again. They want to break through the layers of obstacles to come to Ji Songâs aid, otherwise, it would be too late afterwards.
Ji Songâs breathing has grown increasingly more difficult as she choked under that grip. Knowing her end was near, the child wanted to give one last look at her grandfather before dying.
Just another look...
Tears flowed from the corner of the girlâs eyes at that thought. Thereâs so much yearning and sadness in there that itâs heartbreaking.
Despite showing no fear earlier, sheâs just a child after all.... How could she really not be afraid of death?
âNo!â Ji Sky desperately rushed towards his granddaughterâs location, but thereâs simply too many foes ahead blockading his route.
At this moment, he could feel his heart shattering into a million pieces after he noticed the spec of blood slowly dripping out of the childâs mouth. Itâs the obvious sign sheâs going to give in at any second.
âSong!!!â Deafening in his cry, the old man also starts spewing blood from his throat at the hopeless situation.
The enemy saw this opening and most definitely took advantage of this. In their haste, they shot forward and pierced countless swords into the old elderâs body.
Song wanted to plead for her grandfather to stop after that. Sadly, her mouth could not find a voice as the last light slowly drifted away from those eyes at this despairing scene.
This time.... She reckons she wonât be able to escape.
Grandfather...... Will die too?
But she wants grandpa to live well, the monarch canât be without Grandfather....
Ji Song gently closed her eyes in regretful resentment at these invaders. Now, the woman in blue only needs to give one tiny tug to end her life due to how weak she has become. And sure enough, that grip gradually began to tighten around the neck since the woman in blue figured this child was no longer of use.
âStop, you stop this right now!â Fifth Elder and the others also roared in absolute anger, âCome after us instead, donât hurt an innocent child! Song is only ten years old, do you not have any consciousness?!â
âChild?â Back over in the sky, the flax-colored robe senior whoâs in charge of this invasion force sneered with delight, âYou are mistaken about something here. Regardless of you being a child or a old senile, youâre all going to die! Everyone in the Heavenly Domain will die today!â
