The sounds from outside the river felt like thunderclaps, yet at the bottom of the river, it sounded like the reverberation of a distant drum.
Xie Xuanyi stood in the darkness.
He was probably the person most familiar with this sensation in the entire world... because for the past ten whole years, he had been living in such darkness.
Darkness and darkness are not the same.
Standing in the night, whether one's eyes are open or closed, one can feel that they are "alive."
However, standing in the darkness of the Bai Ze Secret Realm,
Xie Xuanyi was reminded once again of the sensation of "death."
Here, as outside, there was a breeze, sounds grazed by one's ears, even the noise of water's flow could be heard... but this moment's darkness felt like a shroud cast over the sky of the Heart Lake.
Standing here,
Felt like standing in a coffin.
"Hiss."
Xie Xuanyi ignited a flame.
