Hearing movement behind him, Li Huowang held his burning shoulder and looked back at the fallen Li Zhi. Is he... apologizing to me?
"You're about to die, and you're still putting on an act for me. Setting your face straight now, but wasn't it you who just tried to kill me?"
The color drained from Li Zhi's face, revealing a bitter smile.
"I had no choice, I really had no choice, they forced me. You can run, but I truly can't escape. From the day I embarked on this path, there was no running away for me."
Dark red blood gradually seeped out from Li Zhi's body, staining the earth beneath him red. He didn't have much time left.
Li Huowang stood there, his expression complex, watching the Li Zhi whose words he could not discern as true or false.
"Actually... this isn't so bad, finally there's no other noise in my head," Li Zhi said reflectively.
"Was everything before done because the Immortal Sects forced you?" Li Huowang asked again.
