Megan gritted her teeth and whispered, “I have no idea, I was captured. Maybe because I am a follower of Emei, they want to use me to threaten my Master. Can… can you release me?”
Megan had no idea who she was but seeing how kind she looked, she pleaded unconsciously.
Megan did not have much hope. However, she was surprised when Adina untied her.
“Okay, I’ve untied you. Don’t cry,” Adina said softly. “Miss, the followers in Eternal Life Palace never caused trouble. How could we use you to blackmail your master? I’ve untied you. Follow me. I ’ll lead you out of the Eternal Life Island.”
Megan was stunned, staring blankly at Adina.
She was letting her go? Impossible! Something must be up. The bunch of scum, how could they let her escape?
“Miss?” Adina asked as she left the room. She urged, “Follow me. I’ll bring you out of the Eternal Life Island.”
Megan frowned. Even though she was suspicious, she still followed Adina.
A few minutes later, they passed a small winding road downhill. “Miss, follow the road, and you’ll reach the sea,” she instructed. “There will be many fishermen boats, just take any one of them, and you ’ll be able to leave.” At that, Adina turned and left.
Chester and the rest were still waiting for her. Also, the dish she prepared was probably cold by then and needed to be reheated.
Megan stood still and bit her lip. Was she really going to let her go?
“May I ask who you are? If you let me go, won’t the Sect Master blame you?” Megan could not help but ask.
Adina smiled lightly. “Don’t worry, my husband is the new Sect Master. How could he blame me? I’m his wife. Just go, miss.”
“You!” Megan was furious. “You’re the Sect Master’ s wife?”
“Yes,” Adina smiled.
“You scum! No one in the Eternal Life Palace is good! ” Megan yelled.
She continued, “You’re the wife of the Sect Master. How good could you be? You’re letting me go on purpose! What are you planning on doing? All of the Eternal Life Palace members should die!”
Megan fished a long sword and stabbed Adina.
The sword went through Adina’s right chest.
Adina was not a cultivator. She felt her chest become cold as blood spread throughout her clothes.
She never dreamed that doing good would get her killed.
Megan clenched her teeth as she pulled the sword out. She looked at Adina coldly and shrieked, “You let me go on purpose! Why? Tell me! ”
Thud.
Adina could not answer her. She felt weak and fell to the floor. The sword had punctured her heart.
