Chapter 156: Both Cold And Lonely People At The Edge Of The World (2/2)

Sha Hangyun not only didn’t shut up, but he kept on going: “Master Zuo was indeed worthy of being the number one expert on formations, and you are definitely the first person to infiltrate the Imperial Palace. Not only did you steal the Dragon Spirit Stone that the Godly Jin Dynasty used to protect its nation’s fate, but you also disturbed the Jin Emperor who has a supreme cultivation. I really admire your actions ah!”

Zuo Qianshou was drenched in sweat. Sha Hangyun’s praises failed to make him feel proud and, on the contrary, they only made him miserable.

The wound from two hundred years ago was torn opened again by someone.

This Zuo Qianshou fella was indeed the number one bandit in the world. To actually go as far as to steal a national treasure like the Dragon Spirit Stone... However, if he dared to commit such a task, he must have been ready to accept death. In the end, even a Ju Qing invading the Imperial Palace would surely meet their end.

However, isn’t the Dragon Spirit Stone still there in the Imperial Palace? Feng Feiyun became even more curious. What exactly happened so many years ago?

Sha Hangyun went on to say: “Unfortunately, your life-risking endeavor was all in vain. When you handed the Dragon Spirit Stone to Ji Lingxuan, you didn’t get the most kingdom-toppling smile in return from the beauty, but a merciless blade instead. This blade not only cut off Master’s right hand, but also the indomitable fighting spirit and soul from before. There is a sadness called disappointment, and there is a pain called despair.”

“Stop… Stop talking... Please, I beg you.” Zuo Qianshou was like a deflated ball as he lost all his spirit. He crouched down on the ground next to a tree as his body was shaking all over while begging.

At this moment, he was such a pitiable man.

He wanted to cover his ears to stop listening, but… he only had one hand!

Sha Hangyun did not intend to spare him. He coldly laughed and continued on: “I’m very curious about what happened afterward? Why did Ji Lingxuan take the Dragon Spirit Stone, capture you, then enter the Imperial Palace? She then gave the stone to the Jin Emperor and… she even offered him her body. Ji Lingxuan is now Consort Ji, one of the four Grand Divine Consorts right now, while Master Zuo was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison and lived a life as a prisoner of darkness. Hehe, what the hell was this about?”

Sha Hangyun already knew the answer, yet he kept on inquiring. His dark laugh was extremely harsh to the ears of Zuo Qianshou. It was as if Sha Hangyun was laughing at a fool, the world’s biggest loser.

Zuo Qianshou laid on the floor with his legs rolled up. His eyes were glazed over as if he was heavily wounded by punches and kicks from one thousand men.

He seemed even older as he kept on coughing up more blood.

This time, he was really coughing out blood, unlike before.

At this moment, Feng Feiyun was also extremely depressed. Even though Sha Hangyun was merely recalling Zuo Qianshou’s tale, it caused Feng Feiyun to think about himself.

He and Zuo Qianshou were the same type of people. They were both very romantic and had extreme talents, but both of them lost it all in the hands of a woman.

Shui Yueting killed Feng Feiyun in order to become the strongest in the world.

As for Ji Lingxuan... In order to approach the most powerful man in the world, the Jin Emperor, not only did she use Zuo Qianshou, but she also chopped off one of his arms and imprisoned him in the Imperial Prison. If it wasn’t for Zuo Qianshou’s great skill in formations and locking arrays, he most likely would have been imprisoned there for his entire life to eventually meet his pathetic end.

Alas, even though he managed to become free, it was a life worse than death. He could only hide in this ancient city and put on a disguise as a one-armed street peddler while the goddess he once adored fell into another man’s arm and became a Divine Consort.

This pain was even more miserable than Feng Feiyun’s.

There was a vengeance that could not be carried out and a grievance impossible to describe with words!

Feng Feiyun thought Shui Yueting was vicious enough, but at this moment, he found that Ji Lingxuan was ten times more vicious than Shui Yueting!

How could a woman’s heart be so cruel like this? Feng Feiyun looked at the gray-haired Zuo Qianshou laying on the ground and couldn’t imagine him two hundred years ago. He must have been a handsome and heroic man, capable of sweeping through the world, but because he lived a life unbecoming of a human, he became old too fast.

“I know that Master Zuo must loath Ji Lingxuan to the bones, but because you are afraid of the Jin Emperor, you don’t even dare to step a single foot inside the Imperial Capital, let alone get revenge. So, today, I brought you a grand gift. I trust that Master will really like it. Hehe!” Sha Hangyun seemed to have guess that Zuo Qianshou was hurting inside, so he wanted to hand over his gift.
