“Ling’er” David called softly.
“Hmm” Huo Ling’er’s voice was barely audible.
David sat beside her and held her hand: “Ling’er, I have something to tell you.”
Huo Ling’er’s heart pounded: “What?”
“Before marriage, I did have someone else in my heart.”
David honestly said, “He is my old friend, who saved my life. I promised to save him, and that is my promise to him.”
Huo Ling’er’s eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure: “I know. How could someone as great as you not have a past? I don’t care about your past; I only care about our future.”
He looked at David, his eyes filled with deep affection: “David, I will help you save him. After we save him, let’s live happily together, okay?”
Moved, David hugged him and said, “Okay.”
That night, in the bridal chamber, the spring night seemed too short.
Huo Ling’er is going through the same trials that every woman goes through.
It was a mixed experience of joy and sadness.
……
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Evil Path Palace on Twelfth Heaven.
This was a black palace hanging above an endless sea of blood, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits and ghosts that let out mournful wails.
Deep in the palace, on a throne made from a pile of bones, sat a man wearing a black robe.
The man had a hideous face, sunken eyes, and terrifying blood-red pupils.
He was surrounded by a dense bloodthirsty aura, as if he was a demon god emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He was none other than Zhan E, Lord of the Evil Path Hall!
“Bro!”
With one swift movement, Zhan E slammed his hand onto the armrest of the throne, and instantly turned it into dust.
“Useless! A bunch of useless trash!”
He roared, his voice like a cold wind from the depths of hell, causing the temperature in the entire hall to plummet. “My projection was completely annihilated by a glimmer of remnant soul! My Evil Path Hall has been completely humiliated!”
Below, around a dozen elders from the Evil Path Hall knelt down, all silent and trembling, not daring to raise their heads.
Elder Blood Soul was among them. He was still injured and pale, but for now he could only kneel there.
“Calm down, Your Majesty.”
A white-haired elder said with a forced smile, “According to intelligence, that remnant soul is the founder of the Earth Fire Pavilion, the Earth Fire Ancestor. His cultivation is immeasurable. At his peak, he might have reached the threshold of third rank Supreme God. Even if only a remnant soul remains, it’s not something an ordinary projection can match.”
“After all, that place is his territory, so we were at a disadvantage from the start, and that was just a projection, so we are definitely no match for him.”
“If the Palace Master comes personally, he will definitely be able to destroy the Earth Fire Pavilion.”
“Earth Fire Ancestor?” A cold glint appeared in Zhan E’s eyes. “I will definitely finish off that old bastard.”
He thought for a moment and said coldly, “Send the order to gather an elite army, led by the three deputy hall masters themselves, to go to the eleventh heaven, raze the Earth Fire Pavilion to the ground, and capture David alive!”
“Yes!” answered the elders.
“In addition,” added Zhan E, “tell the three deputy hall masters that I want Earth Fire Ancestor’s remnant soul alive. If I can devour his remnant soul, I might be able to break through the final bottleneck and enter the third rank of the Upper Immortal Realm!”
“Okay sir!”
“As for David”
Greed flashed in Zhan E’s eyes. “The Golden Dragon bloodline, has great treasures. This boy holds a great secret. He must be captured alive; I will interrogate him myself!”
“Yes!”
“Go and prepare. The troops must leave within three days!”
The elders left in a hurry.
Only Zhan E was left in the main hall.
He slowly got up, walked out of the hall, and stared at the roiling sea of blood beneath him.
“Earth Fire Ancestor… David…” he muttered to himself, his eyes glinting with blood-red light, “Interesting. Eleventh Heaven will soon become bustling.”
“However, no matter how exciting it is, all of that will ultimately become a stepping stone for my Evil Path Palace. When I break through to the third rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, that’s when the Evil Path Palace will unite the twelve heavens!”
“Hehehe”
Sinister laughter echoed over the sea of blood, followed by the screams of countless vengeful spirits, as if the end of the world had arrived.
