Ji Yichuan coughed, his face ashen Seeing the worried look on his son’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh “Previously, I usedand contorting, and is on the verge of collapse Thus, rown much weaker”

“Usedwas astonished “Father, then, you…” “Hahaha” Yichuan laughed jubilantly as he stroked Ning’s head “This battle was the last battle I would ever fight Afterwards, I will become a useless cripple Naturally, I had to use as many forbidden techniques as I could”

Ning’s face changed Forbidden techniques were enor the body’s future longevity, then using that to reach a level of power beyond that which was normally possible

“Yichuan, your body…?” Ji Ninefire’s face changed as well “I should be able to live for another ’s face instantly turned white, without any trace of blood

Why Why had it ended up like this? He…he had clearly made it back in time Why did it have to be like this?

“Ji Ning” Yichuan looked at his son “You’ve seen so much life and death Can it be that you still do not understand? Toa life akin to a cripple’s would be a life of torture I would rather die gloriously after ” Ning’s body was faintly tre as he listened

“In addition, your o accompany her” Yichuan looked at his son Looked at hi er needyour wings and roa about the world”

“No, Father…” Ning looked at his father, his eyes turning moist

They had survived a tre simply couldn’t find it in himself to rejoice, no matter what

Tile day with his father Each time, the two of them, father and son, would train in swordplay with each other Although they were si their techniques, the two of thehts By their side, a snohite hound would often appear At other ti Bluestone would appear Still other times, their steward, Autumn Leaf, would watch from the side

Finally…that day came

Yichuan reclined on his seat The Whitewater Hound was in its original forainst Yichuan

“Little White” Yichuan gently stroked the fur atop the Whitewater Hound’s head “To have had a brother like you in rets” The Whitewater Hound lowered its head, its tears falling down

“Ji Ning” Yichuan looked at the nearby Ning “Originally, I wanted to let Little White regain his freedom However, as a Zifu-level Godbeast, I’ains his free will, he will be captured by other Immortal practitioners In addition, Little White has watched you grow up and is very close to you I want to have him follow you This is my wish, and it is also Little White’s wish”

Ning nodded lightly “Alright” Yichuan looked at his lifelong brother “Little White Help ’s elder relative Make sure you keep hihtly

From within his clothes, Yichuan retrieved a piece of beast skin parch “I know that you deeply desire to knoho it was that killed your uncle and harmedwith soinally wanted to let Grandfather give it to you, but since I survived and returned froive it to you personally”

Ning accepted the beast skin, his eyes flashi+ng with a fierce light Grinding his teeth, he said, “I swear that I, Ji Ning, will definitely kill thee!”

Yichuan nodded “I won’t stop you froe However, remember this In the hearts of myself and your mother, your life is far more valuable than theirs”

Ning nodded “I understand”

“M away His breathing greeak S, he said, “Remember After I die, cre Lake I once promised your mother that after I died, I would accompany her”

Ning forced back his tears as he listened “In my life,” Yichuan continued, “I was fearless and worry-free as a child, hard-working as a youth, and relied on the sword in hout S Mountain” He stared towards the e distant “I once swore that I would rely on the sword in hout the boundless lands of the Grand Xia Dynasty! Unfortunately…I won’t be able to accomplish it However…my son will accomplish it”

Yichuan looked at Ning His eyes were filled with endless expectations “Ji Ning You will accomplish it!”

A sour feeling was in Ning’s heart He could still clearly reht him, step by step, how to use the sword

“From today onwards, I will train you in the sword” He was only a toddler His father had see froht him, step by step…

Ning now understood that at that moment in time, his father, whose own Immortal path had been shattered, had entrusted his expectations in the sword to Ning himself

“I will accoave his word “Father, I will accomplish it I definitely will I will definitely hout the boundless lands of the Grand Xia Dynasty”

Yichuan reached out with his hand, gently stroking Ning’s face His hand was tre

“Re life” Yichuan’s voice was beginning to fade, but his shter “Live a happy life A happy, free life…”

His father’s hand suddenly went limp, and his eyes closed as well

Thud

Ning fell to his knees, pressing his head to the ground, grinding his teeth “AAAAAH!” Ning suddenly aised his head again, letting out a loud howl

The Whitewater Hound used its head to gently nudge Yichuan’s body As it did, tears appeared in the corner of its eyes as well

No one are of what had happened Ji Yichuan died quietly Only Ji Ning and the Whitewater Hound were by his side The other servants on Brightheart Island did not have any idea
