Chapter 55: The Judgement (2)

Because of the emotional turmoil she was in, Lan Ming had completed forgotten about the necklace she wore. It was a gift from Shen Yu and also something that would grant her safety.

Only now she remembered the words Shen Yu had said to her as something shook in her. She bit her lips looking at Song Junwan's body and went close to it.

One disciple tried to attack her but was instantly cut in half by her sword. Although she had suffered some wounds, she was still in a state to fight everyone, however she didn't have the will to fight any longer.

She knelt in front of Song Junwan and found her still alive. Her heart beatings were unstable as if she could die any moment however, she was still alive and that alone gave Lan Ming the hope she needed to move forward.

The four Peak Lords also descended from the sky, their bodies were in better state than Song Junwan but they weren't far off. The wounds they had suffered were heavy and if not mended in time, could be life threatening. However, they still had a smile on their faces.

Finally after years of planning and living under suppression of Song Junwan, they had finally killed her. They could finally rejoice and reap the benefits now. As for Lan Ming, they didn't care about her.

She was just a weakling to them who could disposed any time they wanted. But they didn't want to keep her alive so Wei Long sent the same beam of light he had used previously.

Lan Ming didn't move from her place and simply sat, keeping Song Junwan's head in her lap as if she had given up on resisting which made the four Peak Lords even more happy.

It was then that the figure suddenly began to materialize as a young man appeared in his place. He had deep black hair with an undertone of red, and wore red robes. His expression was that of worry as he looked at Lan Ming. All the rage he was feeling back in the Sect was multiplied by seeing Lan Ming's state.

She was covered in blood from head to toe and anyone who didn't see her battle would mistake that blood as her own. Shen Yu clenched her teeth but forced himself to calm down, atleast for now.

"Ming'er. It's me, you don't need to worry about anything now. I'll handle everything."

His voice was soft as if he was coaxing a child and definitely not of someone ready to kill the whole Sect. He didn't want to startle Lan Ming because he could see that her mental state wasn't right.

And he didn't blame her either. Just by looking around he had a guess what had happened and he could understand what Lan Ming was going through. It was really heartbreaking for him to see Lan Ming in such state. His heart ached but it also made the fire of anger brighter.

Lan Ming flinched hearing his voice and raised her head, her eyes that were dark as abyss before now had a light of hope in them. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

She had just said those words but she had thought that by the time Shen Yu arrives, everything would be destroyed. But who knew that Shen Yu would come to save her so quickly. Her heart that was on the verge of breaking apart suddenly had a warm feeling that stopped that destruction.

The others could only watch while waiting for their judgement.
