At first, Yu Sui had thought all World Destroyers suffered the agony of being scorched by strange fire, but for Xue Mushi, the pain only came now and then.
Xue Mushi had not been scorched by strange fire in the past two years.
Yu Sui did not deny that she sometimes thought about giving everything up.
It really was too hard.
Whenever that happened, she would watch the crowds coming and going along the streets of Qingyang Imperial Capital.
She would see strangers smile warmly at her; ordinary people working hard and living their lives in earnest; children meeting up and keeping each other company, laughing and playing without a care; and she would also see the ghost of herself and Zhongli Que, laughing helplessly as they fled through the alleys in a sorry state to shake off their guards.
Then Yu Sui would tell herself: Just hold on a little longer.
Maybe there'll be a way.
If she could not part with the strange fire, then she would endure it for the rest of her life, hiding it for the rest of her life.
No one would want to destroy everything for no reason, burning away all those vivid, beautiful things.
Yu Sui pulled herself back to the present and continued discussing Futuo Tower and the Tianzi Text. "As far as I know, Futuo Tower broke into seven pieces and scattered to different places. Taiyi has three of them."
"Three?" Xue Mushi froze. "That's even more than I thought. Taiyuan, Nanjing, and Qingyang have four between them, which means the remaining Futuo Tower Fragments are all in Taiyi."
Yu Sui continued, "One of them is known to be in the Legalists' Level 1 Forbidden Land, Hanging Moon Cave."
"That place sounds familiar. I think I've heard of it somewhere."
