Perhaps because he had gone to bed early the previous night, Ye Chen woke up as dawn was just breaking. The ring was still on the desk, not far from him, and Li Mo, who hadn't awakened yet, was snoring. Ever since the Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit had acquired bodies, they had moved to another room.
He couldn't remember what exactly had happened the previous night.
He only felt pain all over his body, as if he had fallen apart. The presence of the ring meant that his plan had failed.
He had not anticipated such an outcome.
He had been thinking about when he might leave this place and return to the Central Plains. It seemed his plan was doomed to fall through completely. Suddenly, he recalled Divine Doctor Zhu's words. The doctor had only said that the Sacred Spirit Stone had the power to destroy the ring, not that it would certainly succeed. So, it wasn't Divine Doctor Zhu's fault.
