In the end, he used a Secret Technique to grievously wound the Corrupt Monarch, then fought desperately to escape back to Xuri City.
"After I returned… I was done for… That purple contamination was spreading through my body… Every day when I woke up… I could feel it creeping upward…"
He didn't dare reveal his injuries. There were fallen members of the Human Race who would report to the Hatching Monarch.
He was the spiritual pillar of the Human Race. He could not fall.
"I couldn't let anyone know… The Human Race would panic… Those Corrupt Lords would find out… They would attack the city…"
He had his confidants announce that he was in seclusion. For the past few years, he hadn't even dared to live in Xuri City.
If he were to die within the city, he couldn't imagine the terrifying contamination it would cause.
He had secretly hidden himself here, in a deserted corner.
"This house… is where I lived as a child… No one knows about it…"
He gasped for breath for a long time.
