Liu Sha's unfocused gaze met Li Yu's for the moment, and he was taken aback.

That look... was as if he were looking at an inanimate object.

His eyes held no triumph of a victor, no satisfaction of avenging the refugees, not even the severity of a judge; only absolute indifference.

He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.

Just as he had once looked at the refugees within the Gate of Immortality who were used as raw materials, he remained calm and composed.

Liu Sha seemed to realize what Li Yu was about to do next, and suddenly smiled with relief.

To die at the hands of a Central Plains Star Lord, he wasn't exactly pathetic!

At least, in the final moments of his life, he witnessed what a being truly standing at the pinnacle of power in this world looked like, and how inhuman they were.

Liu Sha understood that Li Yu deliberately spared his life and brought him here, not just to see him one last time.

Having spent most of his time at the Changshengmen headquarters, he had already vaguely guessed the reason.

The torture and capture were all unfounded assumptions from before.

Li Yu's cold gaze told him that the other party didn't care about the secrets of the Longevity Sect, nor did they care about the so-called laws and justice of Zhongzhou, and would not hand him over to Zhongzhou.

Instead, we must kill him face to face!

He was powerless to change the outcome, and naturally, he didn't want to speculate on the deeper meaning behind that cold gaze.

'Central Continent Star Lord...'

With this last trace of realization, a mixture of distorted "glory" and a faint sense of unease.

Liu Sha slowly closed her eyes, giving up all futile struggles and thoughts, and quietly awaited her final death.
