This voice, in Song Yin's ears, wasn't evil, but rather carried a tone of pleading, such that even he, upon hearing it, felt an urge to assist, let alone mortals.
"Who are you?" Song Yin asked.
"I... am sealed... alone..."
It was unclear whether it was because of Ximen Kuan's incarnation as the Fallen Monarch had died, or because Song Yin's gaze affected it, but the once fluent speech began to grow obscure.
Not only that, but the sense of innocence within the wall grew stronger and stronger.
It seemed as if inside the wall, indeed, an innocent person was confined, and faintly, even a stream of thought could be felt.
An innocent person sealed within the wall by the Fallen Monarch, enduring endless solitude, and yet he had clearly done nothing wrong, simply suffering from unprovoked disasters and the Fallen Monarch's malicious whims.
"Release... reward... I'll give you a reward..."
The very mention of a reward had turned into a plea, clutching at straws for salvation.
