From Now On, All Ties Between Us Are Severed. Do You See It Clearly?

Di Juetian paid no attention when he heard the system's voice.

This secret realm was the burial ground of the Child of Fortune.

Next, the plan would continue.

Di Juetian concealed himself in the void.

The old man and Xiao Yu fell silent.

"Master, was it you?"

"No."

"Master, at a time like this, are you still lying to me?"

"If I were lying to you, would you still be alive today? You used to be a poor boy with nothing to his name. And now? You've become an alchemist."

"His status is far too exalted. I reckon someone backing him worked it out."

Xiao Yu said nothing.

His gaze flickered.

"I'm sorry, Master. I misunderstood you."

"But Master, how is the matter of the Divine Ability coming along?"

"Soon. I reckon it'll be ready in another day."

Hearing that, Xiao Yu's grim face finally showed a trace of a smile, though it was very faint.

Xiao Yu was feeling rather distressed.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. His emotions changed very easily now.

Fortunately, he still had a Heaven and Earth Strange Flame.

"Di Juetian, one day, I'll kill you myself and take back what's mine."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath. He knew he was no match for Di Juetian as he was now.

He could only force himself to calm down.

Just then, Xiao Yu's steps faltered.

"Not good, this place is about to collapse."

"Go, quickly."

A voice rang out in Xiao Yu's mind.

When he heard that voice,

Xiao Yu's face also showed tension.

An hour later.

Xiao Yu looked rather battered and disheveled.

He hadn't expected the place where the demonic spear was stored to collapse outright.

Fortunately, the secret realm hadn't collapsed.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yu's expression changed.

He saw a figure.

That figure was Shangguan Qing'er.

She looked at Xiao Yu with a mocking smile.

"Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years the river flows west."

"Xiao Yu, let me borrow those words of yours."

"Seeing you in such a sorry state really makes me feel good."

"Shangguan Qing'er, I never thought you wouldn't even spare your own sister. Are you even human?"

"I'm not human, that's right. But so what? I have great strength now."

"Look at my strength now, the Eighth Level of Dongxu. Then look at you, still at the Profound Core Realm."

"How pathetic."

"But I'll be even happier when you're dead."

With that thought, Shangguan Qing'er charged at Xiao Yu with an overwhelming presence.

"Fire God Palm."

Xiao Yu's expression changed. Immediately afterward, a powerful force surged straight into his body.

Many of his meridians were damaged.

Xiao Yu's expression changed.

"Master."

"Let me take control of your body."

"But that girl's strength has only just broken through, and your meridians are damaged. We can only leave for now."

After taking over his body,

"Xiao Yu" turned into a black shadow and vanished.

Shangguan Qing'er wanted to give chase.

"Have you forgotten my orders?"

A cold voice rang out.

Hearing those words, Shangguan Qing'er's expression changed.

"Yes, young master. But young master, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Without waiting for the voice, Shangguan Qing'er vanished.

Di Juetian emerged from the void, unconcerned.

He even wore a cold sneer.

After all, he was only doing this for Heavenly Mandate Value.

She was just an ant.

After "Xiao Yu" left, he saw no figure behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.

He found a secluded cave.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's expression changed.

He saw a figure.

She lay inside the cave.

She looked as though she were asleep, but she was no longer breathing.

Xiao Yu felt his heart tremble involuntarily.

It was as though an invisible hand had gripped it.

The woman heard footsteps and sensed a familiar presence. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired, and her life had reached its end.

Her hair had turned white.

Her delicate skin had become like withered tree bark.

"Wan'er."

Hearing the call,

the woman moved a finger.

Xiao Yu's eyes reddened.

"Master, is there any way to save her?"

"She's already a cripple. Her life has reached its end, and she's become a skeleton."

"Saving her would be too difficult."

Too difficult meant there was still a way. Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Seeing his master leave his words half-finished,

Xiao Yu grew anxious!

"What way, Master? Tell me, please!"

"You can't do it yet, unless you're a Saint."

Hearing that, Xiao Yu's face darkened.

"Isn't there any other way? Can only a Saint save her?"

"Her origin was dug out."

"There is one other way: a strange flame."

"A strange flame can save Wan'er?"

"It can, but then it will be impossible for your strength to break through."

"Why?"

"When I fell, I only knew of one strange flame in the Xuanqing Realm."

"The one that appeared in this secret realm was probably an accident."

"In other words, if you give her this strange flame, you'll have to wait until you break through to the Emperor-Sealing Realm before you can go to other worlds to look for one."

"At the same time, you'll also have to guard against Shangguan Qing'er coming after your life."

"The Fire God Body is indeed powerful, but it still falls short of the Seven-Orifices Exquisite Heart."

"Besides, she's now at the Eighth Level of Dongxu, while you're at the Profound Core Realm."

"Even with my help, without a strange flame, it would take you at least two years."

"If you fuse with this strange flame, your Fire God Art can evolve, and your physique will change once again."

"It will become the Fire God Sacred Body."

"Your cultivation speed will increase significantly."

"Make your own preparations."

"I'm only your master. You'll still have to walk the road ahead yourself."

"Besides, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

Hearing the earlier words, Xiao Yu had only looked grim.

He still wanted to save Shangguan Wan'er.

But when he heard the last part, it was too much of a coincidence.

Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically.

He suddenly remembered.

Before Shangguan Wan'er left, she had arranged a marriage between Shangguan Qing'er and him.

Then she had forcibly broken off the engagement.

He had made a promise and spoken bold words.

Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years the river flows west.

He hadn't expected that three years later, he would become a joke.

He could have won, but she had returned, bringing a mysterious young master with her.

Di Juetian.

That man who was like a god.

He had lost.

He had become a laughingstock,

and his family had become a joke too.

Then, in the secret realm, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity. That spear should have been his.

But Di Juetian had appeared.

His fortuitous opportunity had been snatched away.

Now she was dying, and he could only save her by giving up the strange flame.

He had been a joke from beginning to end, all because of her.

At that thought, Xiao Yu's face suddenly darkened.

"Thank you for bringing me here."

Xiao Yu once again recalled those words Di Juetian had spoken.

If his master hadn't done it, then it had to be Shangguan Wan'er.

Only Shangguan Wan'er had come into contact with him.

Why had his physique been dug out after he left, but not while he was there?

Xiao Yu stepped forward and looked at Shangguan Wan'er. In his eyes, she had once been a perfect woman.

Even in his dreams, he had wanted to be with her!

Now he looked at her white hair and faint breathing.

For a moment, Xiao Yu felt lost!

What was wrong with him?

Perhaps she wasn't the one I loved before?

Perhaps I merely yearned for that kind of love!

That's right, she's been to the Upper Realm and has broader horizons now!

Would she still take a fancy to me?

Perhaps it was only wishful thinking on my part!

At that thought, Xiao Yu felt rather distressed!

His hands clenched tightly, and his gaze kept changing!

There was happiness, tenderness, and sorrow!

At last, he took a deep breath and unclenched his fists!

"From now on, all affection and ties between us are severed."

Xiao Yu spoke word by word.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Without the slightest trace of reluctance.

Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes, blood-red as she looked at Xiao Yu.

Then a single tear of blood appeared, and at the same time, Shangguan Wan'er's life seemed to fade away with it.

"Did you see clearly?"

A vast, indifferent voice rang out.
