"Tang Lie, you keep claiming it's for the Clear Sky Sect, but in truth, you only want to use Spirit Hall's hand to get rid of Brother Hao."
"Brother Hao is the pride of the Clear Sky Sect, a born powerhouse—not a sacrifice for you to offer to Spirit Hall."
"Someone like you, who betrays his master for glory and is utterly heartless, thinks he deserves to speak of the Clear Sky Sect's honor? Deserves to speak of a way out for the sect's disciples?"
Tang Yuehua slowly rose to her feet. All pretense vanished from her face, replaced by icy coldness.
Under the poison's effects, Tang Lie's Soul Power ran wild within him, crashing through his meridians like an uncontrolled beast and leaving him utterly unable to use his soul skills.
Tang Lie glared venomously at Tang Yuehua, wanting to throw himself at her and perish with her, yet he could not even stand steadily before slamming heavily into the doorframe.
"Tang Yuehua... you're so cruel... Even as a ghost, I won't let you go... I'll let everyone know that you're a venomous woman..."
Tang Lie's voice was hoarse and broken as black blood continuously poured from the corners of his mouth.
"On the road to the underworld, reflect properly on what you've done all these years."
Tang Yuehua could not be bothered to spare him another glance. She turned and headed into the inner room, leaving only those cold words echoing through the air.
Tang Lie exhausted his last trace of strength and staggered out of the wooden cabin.
He stumbled through the forest, running as fallen leaves crackled beneath his feet.
Black blood continued to spill from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the withered yellow leaves and leaving behind a string of shocking dark-red marks.
