a Man Like None Other Chapter 7156 To Save People
Several hours later, the disciple arrived with David and the others.
“Young master, please wait a moment while I go and report!”
After saying that, the disciple went inside.
Outside the cave, the night wind howled, carrying the acrid smell of ashes from the direction of the ruins of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace, making one’s heart tighten.
David stood at the cave entrance, his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant, collapsed mountain silhouette. The fierceness in his eyes had long since vanished, leaving only a calm expression.
But both Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue could see what was pressing beneath that calm.
Not long after, a series of light footsteps came from inside the cave.
The disciple who had spoken earlier quickly stepped forward and whispered, “Young Miss invites you in.”
David nodded and stepped into the cave.
He took two steps, then stopped, turned back to look at Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue, and said in a softer tone, “Wait for me at the cave entrance.”
Jiang Xuelan nodded gently, without asking any further questions.
Ling Xiyue pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she only gave a soft “hmm”.
The cave wasn’t deep, but the further you went in, the stronger the stench of blood became.
Water droplets clung to the damp rock face, dripping down and striking the bluestone with a hollow and desolate sound.
As he walked deeper into the valley, David saw a figure huddled on a pile of hay.
Su Qingyuan.
The moon-white Taoist robe was no longer recognizable as its original color; it was torn in several places, revealing the blood-soaked gauze wrapped inside.
Her face was deathly pale, her lips were cracked and bluish, and her once clear and bright eyes were now dull and lifeless, as if all life had been drained from them.
But the moment she saw David come in, she propped herself up and sat up.
“David”
Her voice was terribly hoarse, as if she hadn’t spoken properly in a long time. “You’re back.”
David stood in front of her, looking at this once aloof and arrogant young lady of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace, now in such a disheveled state, and felt as if something had squeezed his heart tightly.
He had expected Su Qingyuan’s situation to be bad, but seeing her like this made him realize what it meant to be indebted.
That wisp of the true essence of the Heavenly Dao should have belonged to the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace.
Su Qingyuan risked her life to bring him out of the Dao Ruins, but in the end he absorbed her completely.
The Heavenly Palace of Myriad Laws gained nothing; instead, it shouldered the utter annihilation for him.
The sect was destroyed, my father died in battle, all the elders perished, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties.
