Gu Youwei was dead?!
Seeing that small body in the corpse pit, all the cultivators were stunned!
All gazes uniformly converged on Gu Youwei.
Yet Gu Youwei was alive and standing right here.
Gu Youwei also looked bewildered.
She couldn’t remember having gone through such an experience at all.
“Maybe my master saved me. I was probably about three when I met my master. I entered the sect around that time.”
The crowd’s astonishment remained hard to hide.
In the scene, Gu Youwei showed no breath. She was clearly dead.
This world lacked neither spirit medicines nor spiritual roots, but a miracle drug that could revive a corpse back into a living human had never been heard of.
No one expected that Gu Youwei’s master would be terrifying to this degree.
“So that means Miss Youwei’s master appeared at that time.”
“But why didn’t he take the Young Heavenly Emperor as a disciple, and instead only took Miss Youwei?” someone said doubtfully.
Judging from the talent the young Heavenly Emperor had shown, such a person was bound to achieve incredible things in the future.
In that case, why did Gu Youwei’s master only take Gu Youwei?
Ye Chen spoke at this moment, “Need I say? I think it won’t be long before the Heavenly Emperor’s dao foundation is destroyed. Miss Youwei’s Immortal Root awakened at that time, which is why she was prized.”
“Perhaps, when Miss Youwei’s Immortal Root awakens, Miss Youwei can be reborn.”
“I once read an ancient text: an Immortal Root can nurture wounds—if a bit of flesh remains unconsumed, one can immediately be reborn.”
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s analysis, everyone felt somewhat enlightened.
“So that means the Heavenly Emperor’s dao foundation was destroyed in Jad Void Palace.”
…
In the corpse pit.
Gu Changqing’s body trembled violently. His face was pale, mouth agape, staring unbelievingly at that small body.
That tiny corpse had completely lost all color.
Gu Changqing slowly pushed aside the heap of corpses and held that small body in his arms.
That unbearably cold touch left no doubt about one fact.
Gu Youwei was dead!
Dead like their parents.
A despair he had never felt before enveloped his heart.
“Youwei…”
“Youwei…”
He seemed unable to accept the fact as he shook the small corpse.
But the troublemaking girl who used to be full of life lay limp there, letting him shake her.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Tears flowed without stopping. Gu Changqing’s vision turned blood-red.
He was weeping blood!
This was the child he had watched grow up bit by bit!
She was his sister whom he had protected with his life, repeatedly risking himself to fetch beast meat so she could grow up.
Amid his bloodied vision, scene after scene seemed to appear before Gu Changqing’s eyes.
“Elder Brother, where are mom and dad?”
“Elder Brother, Youwei has grown up so she can roast meat and feed you now…”
The memory of that girl always riding on his neck and pretending to chop off his head was still so vivid.
But she…
How did she suddenly become so cold?
Looking at the familiar girl in his arms, the cold corpse, the terrified expression…
“Youwei!!!”
In the corpse pit, a beast-like roar suddenly burst out across heaven and earth.
…
Outside the mirror.
All the cultivators were moved at this moment.
Those beings who with a single movement could make the Beixuan Continent tremble now had reddened eyes.
Gu Youwei unconsciously shed tears.
Her heart, frozen for ages, felt a sharp sting at this moment.
That beast-like hoarse roar contained such a despairing emotion!
…
Gu Changqing stepped out of the corpse pit step by step, as before, stroking little Youwei’s cheek.
He smoothed that utterly terrified expression.
“Don’t be afraid, Youwei. Elder Brother will have these people accompany you to the grave…”
At that moment.
An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from the young Heavenly Emperor’s body, rippling outward to strike all directions, cleaving mountains and rivers in half.
Within a hundred-mile radius around him, all living beings at this moment were annihilated in the fury of this youth.
Wind and clouds in heaven and earth suddenly shifted, the sun retreated, thunder roared across the skies, black clouds pressed down on the city, heaven and earth wept!
In the Jade Void Palace’s holy land, the dragon of fate howled without end.
This sect sanctum that had flourished for countless years saw all its disciples plunge into an unprecedented panic.
“Today, I will unleash a great slaughter.”
In the vast sky, the young Heavenly Emperor ascended toward the firmament, holding a rust-stained cleaver, his murderous intent filling the heavens.
…
Outside the mirror.
At this moment, many cultivators who sensed the aura erupting around the young Heavenly Emperor all showed changes in their expressions.
