Yu Sui looked at Lao Duan and said just one thing:
"To compromise with your true feelings is no different than turning yourself into a living corpse."
And with that....he walked away.
But deep within his heart, something had now been etched permanently:
No matter what happened, he would never take a wrong step just to win Mo Yan's love.
---
As for Wuzu, she only did what her master, Yu Sui, commanded.
She had been with him since childhood, bound to him by a twisted ritual that changed the course of both their lives.
That ritual was meant to summon a celestial blessing,
one that would crown Yu Sui as the Emperor of Light.
But Lin Chaoyuan had tampered with it..
injecting cursed mantras of Black Heaven into the sacred script.
And that's when it happened.
Yu Sui's soul was offered as sacrifice to the Black Heaven realm.
From the very first day, by the cruel twist of fate,
Yu Sui had been chosen as the Black Heaven King.
And on that same cursed day,
Wuzu had been appointed his Grand Advisor,
his demonic shadow,
forever bound to serve him.
Since then, she had guided him.
She had taught him the truth of his powers, and how to control the darkness within.
Yu Sui had always known...he was the king of the abyss.
And the day he left Mo Yan alone in battle,
he had gone deep into the heart of Black Heaven.
Three months of relentless war followed.
In the end...he claimed the throne.
For eight long years, he trained,
mastering every secret, every curse,
and then… he returned.
To see Mo Yan again.
To face Lin Chaoyuan one final time.
But the moment Yu Sui stepped back into Su Tao Jue's spiritual zone,
his dark powers vanished again.
Wuzu bowed and disappeared into the mist.
Yu Sui ran as fast as he could..
back to Mo Yan.
But Lin Chaoyuan had already vanished.
And Mo Yan…
Mo Yan was lying on the ground, injured.
A faint trace of wine still clung to his lips...
it was the first time he had ever drunk.
Yu Sui, on the other hand, was used to drinking.
The blend of pain and intoxication had brought Mo Yan to his knees.
And when Yu Sui saw him like that.....collapsed, helpless
his heart shattered.
It was as if his heartbeat had frozen,
as though his blood had forgotten how to flow.
His face went pale.
His chest ached.
But somehow, he pulled himself together and rushed to his side.
He lifted Mo Yan gently.
Mo Yan's eyelids fluttered open, just a little
and when he saw Yu Sui's face,
he smiled faintly,
as if this was the moment he'd truly been waiting for...not death.
They leaned on each other
and made their way back to the others
where everyone had been waiting for them.
The sight of both of them....badly injured...
shocked everyone.
Panic rippled through the group.
Without wasting a second,
Su Nian launched a signal firework into the sky
a message to the academy that something had gone terribly wrong.
