Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Finally, There is Hope for Ye Xuan

At this moment, within the Jade Fox Palace, countless naive and innocent girls, watching the scene on the screen, were sobbing in tears. It was incredibly moving—!!!

Was this the nature of the relationship between Yu Ling’er and Ye Xuan? For Ye Xuan’s choice, Yu Ling’er was willing to sacrifice her own life and wait for him on the Bridge of Helplessness. Her love for Ye Xuan had truly reached a level that commanded respect.

How many kinds of love in this world seek to possess everything about the other, rather than give everything to the other? Ye Xuan was willing to give his life for an innocent Hu Qian’er, which Yu Ling’er was not.

However, Yu Ling’er was willing to give her life for Hu Qian’er for Ye Xuan’s choice. Yet, was Yu Ling’er’s choice really what Ye Xuan wanted to see?!

Clearly not—!!!

Ye Xuan believed Yu Ling’er would be safe, which is why he did not place her safety first. But now, Yu Ling’er had sacrificed her life for him. For Ye Xuan, this was undoubtedly the heaviest blow—!

Even facing the most desperate situations, Ye Xuan would not regret his choices. However, at this moment, Yu Ling’er’s death made Ye Xuan feel regret for the first time.

————

In the scene, Ye Xuan knelt by the prison door, his eyes full of regretful tears. “No—!!!”

He once again couldn’t help but cry out in grief. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot; if possible, he truly wanted to burst out of the prison door and confront his sinister master, Yu Tieshan, in a fight to the death.

However, he couldn’t.

Right now, he was just a cripple. He couldn’t even fight an ordinary person outside the prison, let alone Yu Tieshan. All his life, he liked to have everything under control; he didn’t like to engage in things beyond his control.

But this time, placing his hope on Yu Ling’er resulted in her paying with her life. He felt an unprecedented level of remorse. But he understood that since it had already happened, regretting here was meaningless.

As Hu Qian’er said, now, his only option was to die, to end it all, and to meet Yu Ling’er sooner to repay everything he owed her.

Although he wanted to take revenge on Yu Tieshan and make him pay the price, at this moment, he no longer wanted to stay in this world any longer. He couldn’t bear to make Yu Ling’er wait for him any longer—!

Thinking this, his gaze turned to the evil man beside him. At this moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes were red, full of tears. The evil man looked at him, and seeing his intense gaze, felt somewhat intimidated.

“Kid, why are you looking at me like that, it’s not like I killed your junior sister—!” He spoke: “Your junior sister’s death is your fault.”

“I know.” Ye Xuan wiped away his tears and said: “It is my incompetence that led to Ling’er’s demise… I’m going to join her now.” Saying this, he slowly stood up and looked towards the prison wall.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s demeanor, the evil man looked puzzled and said: “You really want to die, huh? Didn’t you say your master is evil? Who will expose his crimes if you die?”

“In my life, heaven did not cherish me; in my death, why should I worry about the flooding waters?”

Ye Xuan said: “In this world, you are the only one who knows the truth. If you are willing, once you are released from prison, please notify the cultivators about this matter. If you are unwilling, then I have nothing more to say.”

With that, Ye Xuan’s expression hardened, and he charged towards the prison wall. “Ling’er, I’m coming—!”

It seemed he truly intended to end his own life.

————

“Ah—!!!” Off-screen, many people couldn’t help but cover their eyes. Each one of them showed a look of compassion.

A person as resolute as Ye Xuan, even when faced with the most perilous situations, never gave up hope of survival. However, with Yu Ling’er willing to die for him, and after her death, how could he possibly have any desire to continue living?!

Could this tragic pair really meet such an end?

If it were someone else, choosing to commit suicide in such a situation would surely be mocked, better alive than dead. However, no one laughed at Ye Xuan because they understood that Ye Xuan wasn’t choosing death out of cowardice; he was dying for love.

His heart held immense determination, a will as strong as steel, but all of it became meaningless with the death of Yu Ling’er. At this moment, countless disciples within the Jade Fox Palace were mourning. It seemed this was the end of Ye Xuan’s life in this world. Was the next life about to begin?

However, that was not the case. Just as Ye Xuan was about to run headfirst into the wall, suddenly, a green light appeared in front of him, blocking his path like a soft wall. Ye Xuan could no longer move forward…

“??!!”

Seeing the light appear before him, Ye Xuan showed a puzzled expression. This light was different from the usual aura of qi. Ordinary martial arts could form qi, but not in such a mystical manner.

The green light looked like it was part of a formation, with mysterious totemic symbols emerging within it. Was this magic?!

Who was casting a spell?! Although it was his first time seeing it, Ye Xuan was sure this was magic. Martial arts couldn’t achieve this…

He suddenly looked to his side, only to see the previously menacing man smiling at him. “Kid, I understand you’re eager to join your beloved in the underworld, but if you die here, I’d have nightmares about it. Ah, I can’t help it; I guess I’ll have to help you.”

As he spoke, his hands formed a seal, and a beam of spiritual light flew from his fingertips towards Ye Xuan, forming the barrier that had stopped him. It turned out he was the one who had cast the spell to save him.

————

“——!!!” When everyone in the Jade Fox Palace saw the menacing man casting spells, and noticed that his spiritual aura seemed quite strong, they were all stunned. Could this man actually be a cultivator?!

At that moment, a cheer of surprise and joy erupted throughout the Jade Fox Palace. “Ye Xuan is saved—!!!”

“Yes—!!!”

They seemed even happier than Ye Xuan himself. The feeling of seeing hope in a desperate situation was indeed overwhelming.
