How could that be possible?
Startled, Gu Chaoyan desperately channeled spiritual energy into him, praying for his swift recovery.
The woman from the Supreme Sect possessed an extraordinary level of cultivation, making it impossible for Huaijin, who had no cultivation at all, to withstand even a single blow from her.
It was her own mistake.
She shouldn't have brought Huaijin along on this journey.
If she hadn't taken him to the Dragon's Vein, he wouldn't have been singled out to go ahead. If he hadn't gone ahead, this wouldn't have happened.
With his eyes half-opened, the man in her arms whispered, "Chaoyan, the amulet is here, untouched. I had planned to return to the Yan Family with you, but now… I can't."
"…."
"Chaoyan… Chaoyan…" Zhou Huaijin cried, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't bear to be separated from her.
Gu Chaoyan wept uncontrollably. "Huaijin!"
What had gone wrong?
