Xu Lei was filled with a sense of melancholy upon hearing the news.
To think that the old general, who had seemed so robust and full of vigor at the grand banquet just a few years ago, was now gone.
The scene of them sharing Exorcism Wine, scaring the Painted Skin Spirit into revealing its true form before fleeing, was still vivid in his mind.
Fortunately, the men of the Qin Family had not been wiped out. They were still fighting in other parts of the land.
Xu Lei was also somewhat surprised by Shang Yin.
He hadn't expected the man to be so formidable, to have actually conquered Anqing.
Not even a force led by Elder General Qin could hold the city.
Of course, Xu Lei favored neither side.
He was just a monk, so his position was neutral and objective.
Neither side could be called righteous or evil.
Elder General Qin died fighting for his country, an act of loyalty and righteousness.
But the country he served, the Imperial Court, had long been rotten to the core.
