Patriarch Ximen, Ximen Gong, never imagined his son would end up like this.
The Golden Healing Pill was supposed to be fine; it should have been able to heal his son.
But now, something had gone horribly wrong.
His son's entire body was bright red, and wisps of black energy occasionally drifted across his skin.
Master Chen was also at a complete loss.
"Patriarch, the young master has definitely been poisoned."
"This is bad!"
Suddenly, he cried out in alarm.
He watched as Ximen Jianren's limbs twitched a few times.
Then, he went completely still.
"Son..."
Ximen Gong cried out.
He tried to wake Ximen Jianren, but his son didn't last long before he breathed his last.
All signs of life were gone.
Ximen Gong and Master Chen were both dumbfounded.
They stood frozen on the spot.
Everything had happened too quickly. From the Golden Healing Pill showing its healing effects to Ximen Jianren's sudden death, only a few hours had passed.
'How could this happen?'
