Chapter 48.2 - I will always support you (2) (2/2)
Wen Renyi sensed something amiss. “Was it not true?”
He Zhou shook his head. “The Shen Family was originally an array aristocratic family. The Shen Family’s grandfather had participated in the Sealed War and the seal array was in fact created by him. However, he relied on using the array to escape, leaving behind everyone else to be sacrificed. He was overcome with so much shame, he concealed his identity from thereon.”
Wen Renyi immediately understood. “Then what about the necklace?”
“The book didn’t mention it.” He Zhou placed the book beside the bed and leaned back on the pillow. “Ah Yi, I suddenly thought of a problem. Dad had mentioned that the demonic head wanted to absorb the world’s vitality to try and restore his original strength but was soon sealed. Now that the seal isn’t stable today, since he possesses such a tremendous amount of power, why is he incapable of breaking through the seal? Is there a catalyst that he is missing and could that catalyst be inside this necklace?”
Wen Renyi bent his head down and gently kissed the tip of his nose. “Don’t think about it too much and go to sleep.”
He Zhou pursed his lips. “I have a feeling that Gars was right. My current cultivation is too low. I fear it may be too difficult to stop the huge monster that the demonic head has become.”
Wen Renyi remembered the Peach City fantasy array where he saw He Zhou engaging in battle with someone and dying as a result and his heart palpitated for a moment. He suddenly took He Zhou in his arms and said. “Having been sealed for so many years must have dealt a huge damage to his cultivation base. As for those cultivators who had been controlled by the drug, the Li Family had already started researching the antidote for it and we still have many people on our side so don’t worry too much.”
——No matter what, I will always protect you.
In the end, He Zhou couldn’t sleep a wink due to feeling the pressing urgency so he sat up and cultivated. Wen Renyi also accompanied him and they did it together until sunrise.
He Zhou felt his Inner Xi and sighed. “It’s still too slow.” Because he had dealt with the demonic head before, he knew that the extent of the demonic head’s strength was not to be underestimated.
“You don’t need to hurry.“ Wen Renyi held his hand. “This necklace is yours. You are now in control of his life.”
“Then what if he uses the lives of the people in exchange?” The light in He Zhou’s eyes dulled in plain sight. “What if they used your lives?”
“Then do what you think is right. Regardless of what you choose, I will always support you.” Wen Renyi took his hand and kissed his ring.
“Ah Yi thank you.” Young Master He could choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation, however, he couldn’t ignore other people’s lives.
“How should you thank me?”
He Zhou chuckled at this and leaned in to kiss him.
