Giving up an Inherited Soul Bone for Yu Luomian was plainly a betrayal of their masters and ancestors. Yet without Yu Luomian, the sect would lose a high-level fighter and its reputation would be utterly ruined. That was equally unacceptable to Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen closed his eyes, his breathing unbearably heavy. A few more wrinkles creased his face.
