Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. This was actually a secluded island, with only a handful of servants and no doctors or physicians whatsoever...

Just as Ji Wuchen took out the life-saving pill that could bring the dead back to life, Lin Yue's breathing had already stopped completely.

They arrived too late, and there was nothing they could do to avert this tragic end.

The trail went cold...

Ye Ying's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. She slowly bent down and gently lifted Lin Yue's lifeless body with both hands, carefully placing it on the hillside of the deserted island.

Every movement was so gentle, as if afraid of waking Lin Yue from her slumber.

Ji Wuchen stood quietly to the side, his eyes filled with regret and pity.

He watched silently as Ye Ying completed all of this, and then bent down to help her bury Lin Yue.

As the last handful of earth covered Lin Yue's body, it seemed as if all the past had been buried in this land. Whatever had happened in the past, with Lin Yue's departure, everything should now come to an end.

"It must have been done by the Demon Lord's people!" Ji Wuchen said earnestly, his tone filled with certainty, firmness, and conviction.

A closer look reveals that Ji Wuchen's eyes are flashing with an inexplicable rage, as if he wants to burn the entire world.

"But we have no evidence now, and we don't know where the Demon Lord is." Ye Ying said sadly, her voice filled with helplessness. Faced with such a cruel reality, they were still too weak and seemed so powerless.

Ye Ying secretly resolved to work harder in her cultivation to improve her strength.

Ji Wuchen clenched his fists tightly, recalling the horrific scenes he had witnessed, a sharp pain piercing his heart. Those innocent people, their blood staining the earth red, and the culprit behind it all was that despicable Demon Lord.

If he cannot be completely eliminated, the entire world will likely be plunged into endless darkness and chaos...

Just then, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind howled. A violent storm was about to break.

"It's going to rain soon, let's find somewhere to take shelter." Ye Ying tugged at Ji Wuchen's sleeve, signaling him to leave quickly.

The two supported each other and struggled to walk into a nearby abandoned hut.

The hut had clearly been abandoned for a long time, and a musty smell of decay permeated the air. But for them, it at least offered a moment of refuge.

Exhausted, they sat on a pile of tattered straw, watching the increasingly fierce wind and rain outside the window, their hearts growing heavier.

Inside the house, they found a diary containing some of Lin Yue's secrets.

Ye Ying said excitedly, "So Lin Yue has been investigating the Demon Lord's whereabouts all along, and she has found some clues." However, she couldn't help but sigh, "But now she's gone..." Her words revealed a hint of regret.

Ji Wuchen remained silent. He picked up the diary and carefully flipped through it, hoping to find clues about the Demon Lord.

Suddenly, Ji Wuchen's gaze was drawn to a certain page where a mysterious symbol appeared.
