1207 Wen Yu’s Words 4 (1/2)
”And the way they are using to try to snatch the treasures secretly, is to let those people they sent out to become their scapegoats. And I had been one of those at that time…..”
Wen Yu at that time, had searched for the location of the Dark Emperor's tomb with his companions. He had thought that he had set forth bringing the glory and belief of the power he served, never knowing it was all a hopeless tragedy for all of them from the beginning.
”Since you have been to the Dark Emperor's tomb, then you know of its location right?” Jun Wu Xie asked, finally putting out the question she had wanted to ask for a rather long time.
However, Wen Yu shook his head.
”I have indeed gone to the Dark Emperor's tomb, but I do not know where it is.”
”Why?” Jun Wu Xie asked, her eyes revealing a tinge of surprise.
Wen Yu replied: ”At that time, my companions and I found the approximate location of the Dark Emperor's tomb but were attacked under the blinding fog and I completely lost contact with them, the force from the attack throwing me in a stroke of coincidence into the Dark Emperor's tomb. However, I was not able to go deeper inside and had only been in the outer layer at its fringes. I had sustained severe injuries at that time and was heavily poisoned, too frail and weak to advance further inside. The only thing I managed to take from the Dark Emperor's tomb then was just that piece of Soul Calming Jade…..”
Wen Yu had at that moment thought that he was doomed and even when he had managed to stumble into the Dark Emperor's tomb, he no longer had the strength to leave. When he finally collapsed from exhaustion and weakness to fall into a deep sleep, he was certain that he would not live.
But, when he next opened his eyes when he awoke, he found that he had left the Dark Emperor's tomb, and had even been sent to the top of the Heaven's End Cliff.
How he had left the place, he did not know, but after waiting for a rather long period at the top of the Heaven's End Cliff hoping that his companions would be able to return, he was finally forced to face despair and hopelessness.
No one returned.
Not a single person did!
