Not only does it progress extremely quickly, it also extends one's lifespan.

Even his profound energy did not feel weak or superficial.

On the contrary, both its power and solidity far surpassed the profound energy cultivated by his family's traditional techniques.

He truly has no weaknesses! Except for the need to kill his own closest relatives.

Without this restriction, Xiao Xuanchen couldn't imagine who would be able to stop Zhou Gousheng in the future.

"Xiaoyun... I'm sorry."

In the end... I still failed to protect you.

Lying in the pit, looking at the moon in the sky, Xiao Xuanchen's eyes were filled with regret.

He could already foresee Zhou Xiaoyun's fate, but now he was barely able to protect himself.

He was no longer able to save her.

He really lost this time.

"If I hadn't been arrogant that day, but instead chose to disregard everything and forcibly take you away."

Perhaps the ending will be different?

Xiao Xuanchen still didn't know the answer, but he really wished he could have another chance to choose.

However, he knew it was all too late.

At Zhou Gousheng's speed, catching up with Zhou Xiaoyun would take far more than half a breath.

"Xiaoyun..."

He murmured the name softly, but tears of blood welled up in Xiao Xuanchen's eyes.

Even now, he can't say for sure whether he loves that woman or not.

Perhaps it was only because of his responsibilities as a husband and a man that he was sad.

But just thinking that she might not appear by his side from now on, Xiao Xuanchen felt an indescribable throbbing pain in his heart.

He really... really wanted to save her!

He really didn't want her to leave him like this!
