"Boy Yun, I'm different from them. I don't have anything to give you, but I won't owe you anything. You've brought me the most beautiful memories of the past million years. They are completely priceless in my heart. In the future, I will give you something equally priceless."
…………
Not long ago, Yun Che emerged from the Pure Land Inner Hall. At that time, the other three priests had offered Yun Che numerous favors, but Priest Liuxiao remained silent, merely offering a verbal promise. And today, at the cost of his own life, Priest Liuxiao had "perfectly" fulfilled that promise.
Yun Che and Priest Liu Xiao's friendship wasn't exactly deep. This time, during his visit to the Pure Land, Yun Che had merely gifted him a cookbook. While Priest Liu Xiao had been incredibly excited and cherished the gift, his reaction far exceeding Yun Che's expectations, that was all.
Therefore, Yun Che would never have imagined that in this critical moment of life and death, Priest Liu Xiao would step forward and light the flame of hope for him at the cost of his own life in this desperate situation.
In fact, it wasn’t just Yun Che. Everyone present was stunned by this sudden scene, especially Mo Su.
Mo Su knew the four great priests intimately, especially Priest Liu Xiao. He knew that Priest Liu Xiao had a carefree nature, yearning for freedom and unfettered freedom. He was indifferent to worldly matters, completely absorbed in the art of cooking and the unique pleasure it offered. Therefore, Mo Su never delegated matters related to the Abyss to Priest Liu Xiao, and rarely summoned him without authorization, all out of deep respect for his unique character.
He really couldn't think of any reason that could make Priest Liu Xiao go to such lengths for Yun Che. At least he didn't completely believe the ridiculous reason Priest Liu Xiao gave at the end.
What shocked Mo Su even more was that, not long ago, Priest Liuxiao had only fifty-eight divine powers, but now he possessed a full sixty-two. Such a significant improvement in cultivation was truly incredible.
"Liu Xiao..." A trace of sadness appeared on the face of the Great Wilderness Priest. Although he could understand the choice of the Great Wilderness Priest Liu Xiao, he still found it difficult to accept this cruel reality in his heart.
"Liu Xiao, you don't have to be like this." A trace of sadness flashed across the face of the Lingxian priest. In fact, she understood the inner torment of the Liuxiao priest very well, and how was she different from him?
Priest Wan Dao stood quietly by, speechless. He understood the torment Priest Liu Xiao had endured over the years. This time, he sacrificed his life to save Yun Che. It wasn't so much for the future of the Abyss, but rather, it was Priest Liu Xiao finding a sense of relief for himself.
The reason behind this is probably only known to Priest Liu Xiao himself.
That day, after a conversation with Yun Che, he received an answer from Yun Che that he had long refused to believe. This answer, like a cold frost blade, instantly shattered his long-held illusions. However, as his illusions were shattered, the knot that had been tightly entangled in his heart was also undone. His true divine power naturally grew with this change in his state of mind.
"Mosu!" Priest Liuxiao raised his head, his gaze firm and sincere. This was the first time he'd addressed Mosu by name. His demeanor wasn't like that of a subordinate, but rather like that of a close brother, his eyes filled with concern and sincerity. "I beg you, don't embarrass Yun Che anymore. Give him a chance. Who knows, he might bring you unexpected surprises."
The last tone of his life was gentle but powerful, and every word seemed to carry sincere expectations. He tried to touch Mu Su's heart with these heartfelt words.
"Yuyao, I can finally be with you." Ignoring Mosu's response, the image of a figure he'd longed for emerged in Priest Liuxiao's eyes. That figure, as if separated by a layer of misty fog, gently waved toward him, as if whispering his name.
A satisfied smile graced the face of Priest Liuxiao, a smile imbued with endless longing and anticipation. However, in a single instant, it was completely replaced by a look of agony. The piercing pain emanating from Mosu's "Instantaneous Tracelessness" unleashed its terrifying power. The pain, like countless sharp silver needles, spread with lightning speed through every inch of Priest Liuxiao's skin and every bone.
"Uh ...
Even Priest Liu Xiao, a Pure Land priest, could not help but roar in agony at such inhuman torture. In his final moments, amidst the excruciating pain that seemed to tear his soul and body apart, he slowly closed his eyes and departed this world forever.
Mo Su gently closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch this scene. He had been the one to strike the sword, but no one had anticipated the unexpected outcome.
"Yun Che, all of this tragedy is because of you!" Mo Su slowly opened his eyes, the resentment in his gaze stronger than ever before. This hatred not only did not diminish in the slightest despite Priest Liu Xiao's dying pleas, but instead grew infinitely with his passing.
"Mo Su!" Yun Che gently put Xia Qingyue down, his eyes gleaming with determination. As he looked at Mo Su, his eyes were also filled with endless rage burning madly. "At this point, are you still stubborn and unwilling to repent? From the beginning to the end, the culprit behind this entire tragedy of the Abyss has always been you!"
Yun Che carefully placed the body of Priest Six Smiles in a safe place before re-gripping the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword. At that moment, his strength was steadily returning, and a sense of mission welled up within him. He resolved to carry on Priest Six Smiles's legacy and wage a final battle against Mo Su, ending Mo Su's rule once and for all and allowing light to once again shine upon this abyssal world shrouded in darkness.
