Chapter 360



360 Relief at the end of his life

Bai Yuan knew he was dead.

He was a little unwilling, but at the end of the day, he was actually relieved.

This was something he had not expected.

He used to think that he should hate Yunxiao sect, Lu clan, and even the people of Great Yan for not fighting for the Emperor. But now, these emotions were not as strong as he had imagined.

He had worked too hard over the past few years.

Looking back on his life, he had left his family and entered Yunxiao sect when he was very young. At that time, he was young and proud. As a genius of the imperial family, although he was not a direct descendant and could only be considered a branch of the Li family, he was still of noble status. The moment he entered the Yunxiao sect, he was accepted as a direct disciple by a nascent soul elder who held a high position.

He had to admit that this was, of course, due to his identity. However, he had always felt that even if he didn’t have this identity, with his talent and performance in cultivation, he was absolutely worthy of this position.

If he continued to develop like this, his future would be bright. His talent was unparalleled, and his cultivation base was improving rapidly. He had the dual halos of being a direct disciple of Yunxiao sect and a descendant of the great Yan imperial family. In the future, as long as his cultivation base was raised to a certain level, he would naturally become an important figure in the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

He believed in this, and he looked forward to the day when he would devote his life to Great Yan, li clan, and his Majesty.

This was an innate thought, and he even felt that the best ending for him in the future was to fight for his whole life and die in a battle to expand the territory of Great Yan.

But all of this ended when his uncle rebelled.

In the Imperial court of Great Yan, it was only a small matter. This was because his uncle could only be considered an insignificant figure. The so-called rebellion was not really a rebellion. He had failed in the political struggle and was only given such a false title.

Even so, it was still a disaster for him.

Logically speaking, he would have been implicated. On the other hand, from the moment he was born, he had been bathed in the glory of Emperor li Shiwen. He was proud of this, and even believed in it.

What his uncle had done-at least the part he had heard-made him feel deeply humiliated.

After that, his family contacted him and asked him to return to Yan city.

He didn’t hesitate and went back. He was even prepared to be sentenced to death or thrown into prison. In his opinion, this was what he should do, and he needed to atone for it.

However, none of this happened. The upper echelons of his family allowed him to live. The price he had to pay was that he would be executed in name, and he would have to join an organization called the faceless society. He would have to serve the Emperor in the shadows.

He readily agreed.

Although I’ve never heard of the faceless society, as long as I’m serving His Majesty, that’s all that matters.

In fact, to him, this was not even a punishment. Even if this had not happened, he would have been willing to do it.

He grew up in the faceless society and realized the value of his life from another direction.

While His Majesty was preparing to break through to the materialization realm, he had already grown into a high-level combat force in the faceless society. Due to his past performance of loyalty and his identity as a member of the royal family, he was met by the Emperor and appointed as the third generation leader of the faceless society. He was tasked with the task of secretly collecting materials for the emperor’s breakthrough.

However, li Shiwen failed and died in the end. The collapse of the Li Dynasty completely destroyed his faith.

On the surface, he didn’t look like much, but the appearance and image he revealed to his subordinates were still that of a determined and decisive leader. However, the belief that he had held on to for hundreds of years, the thing that he had been proud of all his life, the impact of the collapse was far more intense than anyone could imagine.

He continued to lead the faceless society in its struggle. He didn’t mind accepting the support of his traditional enemy, the Wei Kingdom, which he had once hated so much.

But this was a painful process. It was true that he was attacking the Lu family, but wasn’t he also hurting his own country? Was the Wei Kingdom’s support for him really in support of the Li Dynasty’s restoration? Back when the Li Dynasty was still around, it wasn’t like they hadn’t fought country Wars. He knew very well that the Wei Kingdom’s support for him was to let him attack his own country.

He had done so, treating himself as a ghost of the Li Dynasty.

However, specters would only be specters. The glory of the past would never return. At that moment, all his efforts were to take revenge as a ghost.

And now, all of this was finally over.

The collapse of the emperor’s beliefs after his death, the pain of colluding with the enemy to harm the country, the hopelessness of revenge, and the confusion.

Finally, he didn’t have to bear this burden anymore. Everything was over.

With that thought, he slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness faded away.

……

When Lu Qing arrived at the scene, he threw down a wave of battle-enhancing items on the exchange tab. Lu chaoxi, Lu mingchao, and Li Yanling were all pumped up, and their combat abilities instantly exploded. They completely turned the tide of the battle after a round of explosive attacks. They also got rid of the five avatars of the demon-faced God. This encirclement and killing operation, which was not quite the same as what they had expected, was finally pulled back on the right track, and they obtained the results they should have.

After that, seven golden core cultivators surrounded Bai Yuan. No matter how powerful the leader of the faceless society was, he couldn’t turn the tables.

She was worried that he would run away. After all, this battle had broken out suddenly, and the other party had taken the initiative to attack. Lu chaoxi and the others had initially prepared a method to stop the breakout. However, under such circumstances, it was clear that they had not made any preparations in advance. With Bai Yuan’s strength, if he really wanted to run, there was at least a 30% chance that he could break out.

However, the other party didn’t even attempt to do so and fought to the death.

Bai Yuan had died here.

The continuous attacks broke his defensive ritual implement and seriously injured his body. He was even blasted to the ground. In the end, he lay on the ground, unable to move. He looked up at the sky and slowly closed his eyes.

No one cared about what he thought before he died. After confirming that he was dead and could not be more dead, everyone felt a sense of relief as the battle was finally over. They also remembered some other things.

The two Yunxiao sect golden core cultivators looked for the three from the Lu family. Their tone was rather warm, and their attitude was a little different from the beginning. The Lu family’s sudden outburst surprised the two of them. At the same time, it also made them very curious. They hoped to know what kind of method it was.

It wasn’t that he wanted to learn it. It was impossible to learn something that was obviously someone’s trump card. He just wanted to ask around.

The three Lu family members couldn’t even explain themselves, so of course, they wouldn’t reveal anything.

Lu Qing did not care too much about these things. He was more concerned about the system prompt that had just popped up.

No matter what, this would be considered a crusade, right? Moreover, it would start at four-star no matter what!
