The Chen Family was shrouded in gloom.
The skeleton Chen Changan and Chen Longjiao had brought back struck everyone like a heavy blow.
Gu Yunmeng and Meng Xiaoxiao had the strongest reactions.
They didn't believe it!
They refused to believe that this skeleton was Chen Changan.
Chen Minglou didn't want to believe that Chen Changan was really dead either, but he forced himself to look at Chen Changping and Chen Longjiao.
"You... are you two sure this is Changan?"
"Where did you find him?"
Though he tried his best to keep his voice steady, Chen Minglou's words trembled faintly.
Chen Changping and Chen Longjiao were hardly faring any better. Neither of them had ever imagined things would turn out like this.
"Father, I... I don't want to believe it either."
"But these really are Changan's remains."
"Can't you sense it?"
"Though Changan couldn't cultivate, he could use the energy he absorbed to temper his body."
"That's why traces of his aura still linger on these bones."
"It's faint, but not hard to detect."
At Chen Changping's words, the last of Chen Minglou's hopes crumbled.
He had indeed sensed a trace of Chen Changan's aura on the bones. He just hadn't wanted to admit it.
"All these years, we've always thought Changan had left and was no longer in the Qian Yuan Realm."
"But..."
"I suspect that after Changan destroyed the Luo Family and then Xuan Yin Valley, his body had already been pushed beyond its limits."
"He didn't tell us, and he didn't come back, probably because he was afraid we'd be heartbroken."
"So he found a secluded place and... buried himself there."
"Bright Moon Immortal Sect must have been the last... the last support Changan found for us."
Hearing Chen Changping's words, Chen Minglou let out a helpless sigh.
