True Martial Night King's eyes flew open. Though the Cage Technique could be dispelled by Night Ends, Tian Ming Arrives, repeatedly using it at intervals would keep it in effect. With the Cage Technique, he could completely control this woman, which would greatly help him seize Night Ends, Tian Ming Arrives. And for him to take it, the woman had to be willing.
After thinking it over for a while, True Martial Night King saw that Lu Yin had already disappeared. He let out a breath. "Fine. I won't chase him, and I'll let your parents and family go."
Zhuo Baiye breathed a sigh of relief. Her body went limp, and she slowly collapsed. These two things alone had supported her as she negotiated with True Martial Night King. Now that she had relaxed, her whole body gave way. Her consciousness quickly blurred, but she refused to close her eyes, staring fixedly at True Martial Night King.
True Martial Night King stood before Zhuo Baiye, gazing unwillingly into the distance. "I know you don't trust me. I said I wouldn't chase him, and I won't. Anyone struck by the Heart Arrow secret technique is certain to die. There's no need to break my promise over a dead man."
Zhuo Baiye continued to stare at him, her eyes bloodshot. She looked pitiful and wretched. She had endured too much pain and too many hardships since childhood. She was also imprisoned by the Cage Technique. Only Lu Yin had ever given her warmth, repeatedly coming to her aid whenever she was in danger. Even if she had to die, even if she had to sacrifice everything, she had to let Lu Yin live. As long as he lived, there was hope.
Live on. He had to live on.
