He was no longer on the groundThe vines had elevated his body about twenty round, like a scene fro walked towards the vines and stopped when she reached the botto her palm over the vines’ surface, but he couldn’t really tell fro hissed in painSoHe looked down and, to his absolute horror, realized that the vines had caught fireThe vines scorched his skin, but Li Yundong clenched his jaw and endured the painIf this was his punishment, then so be itHe wouldn’t screaive Ao Wushuang that satisfaction
Suddenly, the vines burst asunder, like a glass shatteringLi Yundong fell to the ground a emberSeconds later, his head and back slaroaned and rolled over
“Ahhhh!!!! No!!! Master, no!!! Please stop!!”
Li Yundong’s eyes flew open when he heard Su Chan’s screa rapidly towards hi’s eyes fell shut automaticallyIt was too late to roll himself away so he raised his arms to protect his head
The blow never ca water?
Li Yundong lowered his armsThe boulder hovered inches above his body and… NoIt wasn’t that the boulder was floating, rather it was being held up by a fil traced the water to its source: Ao Wushuang’s index finger
Ao Wushuang serThe strea the boulder towards the center of the fieldTHUD! A huge crater appeared on the ground where the boulder had crashed intoA split second later, the boulder disintegrated into a bunch of ashes, which drifted off into the night sky
Holy shi+t…
Li Yundong stared at Ao Wushuang in aweThis wolared at Li Yundong“I know over 300 spells capable of ending your life in a blink of an eye!” She pointed at the huge crater nearby“And I’ve just shown you five of theer“Not even I, a master Cultivator who knows pretty much every spell in existence, dare to defy the sacred co pointed her finger at Li Yundong“You’re nothing but a na coance!”
Li Yundong lowered his gaze and stared down at his handsSu Chan’s snivels and pleas sounded nearby
Was it really wrong of him to use the spell on He Shao? Couldn’t anyone else see what a threat He Shao was to the lives of other people? Why did the Heavens even allow He Shao’s reign of terror to happen in the first place?
“And worst…” Ao Wushuang’s voice dropped into alooked up fro look“You even dragged irl I have cohter!! How dare you!!!” The sword swung out in a wide arc, sending pieces of weed and soil into the air“You think you can play the hero just because you’re the Jindan’s Heir?” Ao Wushuang snorted derisively“The truth is that you’re nothing but an aaze in shaht about hiThe Jindan was probably wasted on hi: the weak, pathetic nobody
Su Chan would be better off without hi said sharply“You’ve had your chance to say your goodbyesNow I’ my disciple with me”
“No, Master!!!” Su Chan screamed“No! I don’t want to leave! Don’t take … I want Yundong…”
“You foolish child!” Ao Wushuang said“You still want to be around hi what he’s done? Don’t you know that when the Heavenly Thunder strikes him, any Cultivator within a ten-mile radius of him will suffer the same fate as him?!”
“Then I shall die with hi as I can be with Yundong!”
“You—” Ao Wushuang closed her eyes and took in a deep breath“You’ve lost yourand then clawed at the hem of her skirt“Please don’t separate us, Master… Please… I beg you—”

“Enough, Su Chan…” Li Yundong said firo with her”
Su Chan stared back at hireed…”
“Please… Su Chan…” Li Yundong said, finally allowing his tears to fall“I want the best for youAnd this is the best”
Ao Wushuang snorted“Looks like you have a heart and so said, “Coo”

When Zi Yuan looked into Hongling’s wide eyes, she could see a ’s lips trembled“S- She can perform spells from all five elements… That’s incredible, Elder Sister…”

Zi Yuan patted Hongling’s aro of Zi Yuan’s ar past Li Yundong towards the woave Zi Yuan a cold lookWell, cold was an apt description, since that look downright sent chills down Zi Yuan’s spineNot many in the Cultivation world could have that kind of effect on Zi Yuan
Senior Wushuang arched her brow at Zi Yuan“Why? Is the Zhengyi School looking to interfere with the business of htly“We dare not do such thing, Senior Wushuang”
“Then what is it that you want?”
Zi Yuan looked towards the shose tip was buried in the groundBahuangHer lilorious as Zi Yuan last re…” Zi Yuan held Senior Wushuang’s gaze“It’s a treasured artifact of the Linggong SectI ondering if you could return it to us…”
There was a brief ’s face showed no reaction at all, so Zi Yuan continued, “Also, oBut unfortunately, no one has seen or heard of her ever sinceDo you know of her current whereabouts, Senior Wushuang?”
Senior Wushuang regarded Zi Yuan with a look ahed“Your master’s fellow junior, you say? How should I knohere she is? Also…” Senior Wushuang wrapped her fingers around Bahuang’s hilt“I’ive this sword to anyone anytime soon” She arched a brow“You’ll have to take it from me yourself if you really wanted it”
Su Chan yelped when Senior Wushuang suddenly hoisted her up and gave her a piggyback
“Master, wait!”
Senior Wushuang and Su Chan vanished in a burst of green light
Zi Yuan sighed weaklyWell, that orth a tryShaking her head, Zi Yuan turned around and walked back towards Hongling
To Zi Yuan’s surprise, Hongling was now looking at Li Yundong with eyes full of pity and concernNot Zi Yuan would blame herThe poor man looked utterly defeated, like he had just lost a piece of his soulThen again, ht, Zi Yuan could tell that Li Yundong and Su Chan loved each other dearly
There was a sharp tug on Zi Yuan’s sleeveShe turned and ’s stare
“Elder Sister Zi Yuan… He…”
GoshWas Hongling about to cry?
Zi Yuan had honestly never seen Hongling look so sad andnodded and released Zi Yuan’s sleeve
Zi Yuan glanced around until she located Zhou Qin beside the guard railThe wo but was in too htTi,” Zi Yuan said
“Yes, Elder Sister”
Zi Yuan looked past the guard rail towards the road“Secure the perimeterI know I’ve asked Zhou Qin to seal off the area earlier, but I need you to check nonethelessI don’t want a single word about tonight’s incident getting out”
“I’ took off into the sky
When Hongling was gone, Zi Yuan looked towards Li Yundong’s dejected forain
Had the Jindan’s Heir reached the end of the line?
Ao Wushuang noticed that so once they were about ten otten too quietHer cute disciple was no longer crying, begging, and screa turned her head to check on Su Chan
Her blood ran cold“Foolish child!”
Ao Wushuang quickly scanned the grounds beneath herSeconds later, she located a secluded lake nearby and fleards itShe landed beside the lake and lowered Su Chan onto the ground
“Wake up, you foolish child!” Ao Wushuang slammed her palm onto Su Chan’s backBlood spilled fro’s heart clenched at the sight of Su Chan coughing and wheezing on the groundFor years, she had loved and nurtured this girl as though she was her own daughterBut now this foolish child was actually planning to end her life because of so to destroy youryelled“You’re out of your hs turned into full-bloails“I’d rather die than live a life without Yundong!”
Tears stung Ao Wushuang’s eyesNo! She would not think about hireat about that ht, Chan’erI don’t want you to go through the sarew even louder“You don’t understand, Master… It hurts… It hurts!!! It hurts so ht here!!” Su Chan pointed at her chest, then fell onto the ground into a sobbing heap on the ground
Ao Wushuang felt a drop of her own tears slide down her cheekOh, Chan’er… Ao Wushuang reached out a hand to touch Su Chan’s hair, but then hesitated at the lastbe pointless if I tell her now? Will she be able to resist…? da pulled her hand away
“He brought so much joy into my life, Master… He made me so happy…” Su Chan’s back quivered“Without hi’s resolve cruhed and drew Su Chan into her aro to stay away from love, but you didn’t listenHaven’t I told you before that love is the greatest source of pain in this world?” Ao Wushuang sniffed, then patted Su Chan’s head“Now it’s too lateSee the same pain I did back then…”
“But to me, it’s worth it, Master…” Su Chan said firmly“No matter how painful it is, it’s worth it” Su Chan took Ao Wushuang’s hands“Master, I beg you… Please letI can’t live without hiuess I should tell her after all… The whole plan would be even irldried Su Chan’s tears with her sleeve, then stroke Su Chan’s head
