Shi Lang wailed for an entire day, and it rained continuously. His pain seemed to be flooding the entire immortal realm. In the end, he was drained of his energy. Nobody left the place, they all watched him grieve and presented a silent support at the moment of need. The experts knew that it was Shi Lang who would change their fates.
Shi Tao gathered herself and walked up to Shi Lang. She knelt beside him and with shivering hands, she reached to touch his shoulder. She was surprised, because her father's body was cold as if a block of ice.
Shi Tao said, "Baba, she did not want you to let the grieve overwhelm you, right? Also, can you please be strong for me?"
Shi Lang raised his blood covered face to look at her, even the torrential rain could not clean his face. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow as he said in a hoarse voice, "What do I do now?"
Shi Tao closed her eyes and held him from behind, Amelia had been an integral part of their lives, now that she was gone, they both had a void in their hearts. She replied, "I do not know, but I want to kill the person who took her away from us."
Shi Lang took a deep breath as he looked at Amelia's body in his arms. He closed his eyes and gradually calmed down, however, the cold radiating from him was so strong that every expert was dreaded.
Shi Tao raised her head to find that Shi Lang's hair turned crimson. She took a step back, because she knew that from this moment on, her father won't be the same. He was giving up his restrains.
After half an hour, Shi Lang raised his head and asked, "Where is Ying Yu?"
His body was void of any spiritual fluctuations but every expert felt threatened. The blood lust around his body was almost materializing. An expert from the War Maiden sect stepped up and said, "Lady Ying has been in seclusion for the past two months, Sire."
Shi Lang asked, "Who can tell me what happened here?"
The lady shook her head and then her gaze landed on the grand elder. She took a deep breath, and said, "Sire, grand elder was the one who greeted those beasts when they came in."
She choose her words very precisely, her heart was beating so fast that it could have exploded. She was scared because Shi Lang was staring at her with a pair of indifferent crimson eyes, as if she was a corpse. She was afraid that if she used the word humans for those people, Shi Lang might slay her.
Shi Lang asked, "How long have you known about this world being a sealed cage?"
The grand elder replied, "A few centuries. The grand elders of the war maiden sect were the only people spared by those inspectors to guard the gateway of the cage."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Did you know that Amelia would be in danger?"
The grand elder seemed to hesitate, but then she nodded dazedly. Shi Lang asked, "Why did you let your own disciple treat on such a dangerous path?"
The grand elder replied, "If not for Amelia, that man could have come after the rest of the girls. Hundred years ago, the old sect master of the War Maiden Sect had been put through the same situation."
The people gasped, and Shi Lang said, "Wake up."
The grand elder woke up from the daze, and she was shocked by the realization of what she has said, she looked at Shi Lang and her forehead oozed with cold sweat. The stark change in Shi Lang's appearance has made the young man from a handsome person to a demon from hell.
Shi Lang said, "You were her master, yet you betrayed her. You kept her in the dark about the gravity of the situation. Among the people who killed her, you are also involved. You do not deserve to live in this world, but you also do not deserve to go and find her in the afterlife."
Then with a flick, his finger was stabbed through the old ladies forehead and a strong lightning spark rushed through her body and burned her soul. When Shi Lang retracted his finger, the body of the Immortal Sovereign turned into a mound of ash.
Shi Lang turned around and came to Amelia's side, he took her in his arms and walked away in the void. Shi Tao looked at his back and said, "From now on, the Asura Hall will withdraw from the battlefield. We have nothing to do with the world until Hall Master recovers."
Raksha nodded and the two women vanished together, followed by Allure and Hou Bing. The people discussed the situation and Tian Long said, "Focus on clearing the demons and reestablishing the demon region. Also, issue an order, no one is to offend the Asura Hall. From now on, they won't reason. I hope you all understand."
The people gradually nodded and left to deal with the things they had. Tian Long looked at the martial council elders and said, "We should go to attend the funeral."
