Xie Ningyuan had reacted quickly, but Qin Miao was ruthless and had even used an Evil Technique.
By the time Xie Ningyuan caught Wudao, he was already a corpse. Even his Divine Soul had dissipated, leaving no chance of survival.
Meanwhile, after a long battle, Gu Jue finally found an opening and killed the last Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator with a single strike before joining Xie Ningyuan.
Lu Sangjiu walked over as well. The two of them watched Xie Ningyuan cradling Wudao's body, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Xie Ningyuan gently laid Wudao's body down and turned to Lu Sangjiu. "...Where is the Abbot?"
Lu Sangjiu pursed her lips, not daring to meet his eyes. In silence, she retrieved the Abbot's body from her Storage Bracelet.
Although he had already suspected it, the sight still sent a pang of pain through Xie Ningyuan's heart, and his eyes reddened.
