After saying what was on his mind, Ren Ye left the Infinite Pearl behind and walked down the mountain alone into the night wind.
The Demoness watched his retreating figure, then stared blankly at the Infinite Pearl floating above the desolate grave. Her eyes were empty, and bewilderment suddenly filled her heart.
Long Yuqing was dead. Eight years of painstaking planning had come to nothing. For her, that pillar of support was gone, and her vision had vanished. She truly did not know where her future lay.
Revenge?
Secretly build up strength and kill the Ancient Emperor Successor someday?
But would revenge like that make any sense? Ultimately, he wasn't the one who killed Long Yuqing. Not only that, he was the one being secretly used all along.
Take revenge on Yang Ling'er?
But what would come after revenge? Long Yuqing could no longer ascend the throne, and the Dragon Family she had sworn her life to would never rule the Five Cities again. A comeback would be nothing more than burning together, making pitiful people look even more pitiful.
Then would she follow the Ancient Emperor Successor?
Ha, how could that be possible?
She was a daughter of the Dragon Family, the Demoness of the Vengeful Ghost Sect who would pay any price to help her younger brother reclaim power for the family's ancestral legacy!
If he was the one holding the blade, then I was the executioner. Refusing to acknowledge him meant refusing to acknowledge me.
I want to see how this path you speak of can restore clarity to heaven and earth without betraying your heart or your principles, here in Nine Li, where war rages everywhere, heroes vie for gain, and human nature is vile to the extreme.
I'll wait for that day!
In the Graveyard,
