Dao Nan's voice was deep and powerful, like an iron hammer striking iron again and again.

Li Ai didn't know how to comfort him, so she awkwardly said, "Perhaps, he will become one of those heroic souls."

He Lili turned her head and said, "The King Killer, also known as the King's Black Hand, is the last King Killer. He meets the criteria of the prophecy, so many people in New Song City also believe in him."

“Actually, I think this might be an opportunity,” Dao Nan suddenly said.

"Hmm, what kind of opportunity?" Chen Jing asked.

Dao Nan said, "Originally, I might have been able to take the pill and become a person of extraordinary abilities soon, but I have always been unwilling to do so. I want to become a Blood Realm Battle Cultivator through my own will."

"I always feel that taking pills is like admitting defeat... Haha, of course I'm not talking about you guys. Only battle qi can be cultivated in this way, and battle qi can break through by one's own will."

“I once asked my teacher how to break through with nothing but ethereal willpower, and he asked me in return how to become a warrior.”

The teacher Dao Nan mentioned was Chen Jing's master, "Expert," who taught many children in the hunting group, but did not accept any of them as apprentices.

"Do you have an answer now?" Chen Jing asked.

Dao Nan shook his head first, then looked at the dark road ahead and said, "I feel like it's almost here."

"What are you all talking about...?"

The one who spoke was Zhang Taoying.

She said, slightly distraught, "If, if there were no other way, who would want to stay in the old Song Dynasty? Who would want to endure hardship and suffering!"

Then, the child could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.

She quickly took out a handkerchief, wiping away her tears, looking pitiful. She said, "I'm sorry... I was thinking about something unhappy. Sister He, why did you come here again? From what you said before, you came back from outside, right?"

Without thinking, He Lili said, "In order to pursue the truth, in order to pursue the truth of what turned Song into the old Song."

"But even if you know the truth, what can you do?" Zhang Taoying said with tears in her eyes, "If Song was destroyed by some god, could you take revenge?"

He Lili was momentarily stunned.

"I don't know..." she thought for a moment and admitted helplessly.

“Then let’s take revenge together,” Li Ai said earnestly.

Chen Jing did not participate in the conversation, but focused on the environment in front of him.

Suddenly, he saw something.

At the edge of the torchlight, a door made of stone pillars appeared, and the iron gate inside had been opened, revealing a crack.

Two corpses sat on either side of the door. This immediately triggered unpleasant memories, and Chen Jing and the others quickly drew their revolvers and other ranged weapons, aiming at them.
