Xuanguang Dies

"Boom~"

With a deafening explosion, the energy shockwaves from the collision spread rapidly in all directions.

Although it was only an aftershock, it still evaporated all the rocks, soil, and trees within a fifty-mile radius, turning them into a relatively flat scorched land.

A streak of light, like a meteor, crashed onto the earth. Within the light, Xuanguang's body disintegrated and vanished inch by inch.

Clearly, he lost this battle.

In the air, Shen Ge, who was rapidly closing in, remained calm, but his eyes held boundless killing intent and a hint of madness.

At this moment, Shen Ge had severed his left arm and had a large hole in his chest, but no blood flowed from these wounds.

"Bang!"

As the sound of an object hitting the ground rang out, before any dust could rise, a flash of sword light streaked across the area, and the space fell silent instantly.

Beside the pit, a streak of light flashed, and the Morning Longing Sword came to a steady stop behind Shen Ge, leaving only wisps of ashes in the pit.

Xuanguang died; his body and soul were annihilated.

Shen Ge watched the slowly disappearing ashes in silence, his expression calm, unlike that of someone who had avenged a great enemy. There was no joy on his face, and even a hint of confusion.

On the other side, as Shen Ge's battle came to an end, their battle also ceased. Su Liuyue was seriously injured, while Ye Xingchen and the others were unharmed.

That's true. If they could get injured fighting five opponents at once, then they wouldn't deserve to have cultivated to this level.

A golden light flashed around Su Liuyue, and all the other colored spiritual energy was immediately forced out of her body. Then, her injuries began to heal rapidly.

She sheathed her sword and stood there, her expression still calm as she looked at the group opposite her. "Gentlemen, it's over. Do you still want to fight?"

"Hmph!" Daoist Qingguang snorted coldly, then flicked his robe and disappeared.

The other four glanced at Su Liuyue, then at Shen Ge's direction, before disappearing expressionlessly.

Now that Xuanguang is dead, there's no point in them continuing to fight. Although they haven't been able to fully repay this kindness, they've done their best.

After they left, Su Liuyue turned to look in the direction where Shen Ge was. She hesitated for a moment, and then her figure slowly faded away.

A hundred miles away, behind Shen Ge, Su Liuyue slowly appeared. She walked slowly to Shen Ge's side, not looking at Shen Ge, but instead gazing at the large pit and murmuring softly, "Thinking of your junior sister, aren't you?"

After a long silence, Shen Ge spoke stiffly and asked softly, "Sister, why don't I feel any joy after taking revenge? My heart aches so much, it's like my soul is convulsing."

"The scars are still there. They won't disappear just because you take revenge or deliberately forget about them. They'll always be there."

"Junior brother, I've heard you say that you cultivate Samsara, but do you believe in Samsara?"

A hint of confusion flickered in Shen Ge's eyes. Yes, did he really believe in Samsara?

Or is it that he simply doesn't want to believe in reincarnation after death—is it real or fake?

After thinking for a long time, Shen Ge slowly shook her head and said softly, "I don't believe in Samsara, I am Samsara. She must still be waiting for me somewhere I can't go. I will find her, sister, I will find her!"

Su Liuyue nodded, then raised her hand and gently beckoned with her finger, and a dark Storage Bag immediately appeared in the huge pit.

This Storage Bag was quite lucky; it didn't break during the great battle.

Shen Ge simply watched coldly without saying a word. Although he didn't want it, he wouldn't say anything since his senior sister was interested.

Since Xuanguang was dead, the Storage Bag became ownerless, and Su Liuyue opened it to check it.

A moment later, she took out a soul lamp that had been extinguished for a very long time.

"This is my junior sister's soul lamp. It was with Uncle Qingyou back then. After Uncle Qingyou died, it disappeared without a trace. Now it seems that he really did take it away."

As for Xuanguang's true motives for taking Mu Wan's soul lamp, that remains unknown.

But Su Liuyue guessed that he probably still felt a little guilty.

Of course, this is just speculation. As for the truth, the person in question is already dead, and his soul has been completely annihilated, so the truth will never be known.

"This soul lamp might be useful to you. Although it has been extinguished for a very long time, it once recorded the soul of Junior Sister Mu Wan."

Shen Ge took the soul lamp and gazed at it quietly, her eyes softening slightly.

After a long while, Shen Ge slowly shifted his gaze and solemnly put away the soul lamp. Then he nodded to Su Liuyue and softly thanked her, "Sister, thank you very much this time."

Su Liuyue nodded, then asked, "What are your plans now?"

"Sister, that's what I should be asking you." Shen Ge seemed to have suppressed all her negative emotions, and her expression became more amiable.

Are you planning to go to the Ancient Wilderness?

"I've already gone." Su Liuyue glanced calmly in the direction of Ancient Wilderness, and said in a low voice, "But I can't kill her yet."

"It seems you were the one who helped her when she was injured that time, sister." Shen Ge also looked in the direction of Ancient Wilderness and said, "Master should be over there too."

"It's over there." Su Liuyue nodded and said, "We were together before, but after I learned that you had broken through to the Spirit Severing in Azure Origin City, I came here."

"Of course, my master doesn't know; I'm keeping it from her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ge sighed softly, as if reflecting on something.

"It's better to keep it a secret, it's better to keep it a secret."

"Since everything's fine for the time being, I'd like to take care of some things first."

"Goodbye, sister."

Su Liuyue nodded. Shen Ge was feeling lost and upset, so it was good to let him have some peace and quiet. Besides, they didn't really need Shen Ge's help with anything lately.

A thousand miles away from the Myriad Stars Sect, on a desolate mountain peak, a beautiful figure stood.

This person was none other than Mo Qingyu, the master of Shen Ge and her companion. She had been here for quite some time, but had not moved forward.

She knew very well what would happen at the Myriad Stars Sect ahead, but she hesitated here.

She knew very well that once she went there, she would inevitably have to fight with her two disciples, after all, they were her master who had treated her very well.

Although he did some things that she found hard to forgive, after so many years of friendship, she couldn't simply ignore it if it happened right in front of her.

Therefore, it's best not to go. As long as you didn't see it, you can pretend you didn't know and avoid any awkwardness.

After a long while, a Qingfeng swept by, and the figure vanished, leaving only a sigh that carried far, far away on the Qingfeng.
