"You have done very well. Follow me well, just like you followed me in the past!" Ao Lai turned around, looked at Taotie with satisfaction, gave him another instruction, and continued to walk into the air.
"Yes, I will remember your orders and will follow you till death. Even if I have to climb mountains of swords or jump into a pot of oil, I will never..." Although the Great Master Chuihuo usually looks down on others, at this moment, he was flattered by Aolai's praise and was so excited that he was incoherent. Before he could finish his chatter, Aolai's figure had disappeared into the sky.
Mu Hanyan also slowly landed on the ground, looking at Ao Lai's departing figure, and her mood could not calm down for a long time.
"Don't worry, he will be fine." Zhan Yuan stepped forward and said.
"What happened to him?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"The resentment of the residual souls of hundreds of thousands of powerful priests is not so easy to eliminate. If he had not devoured the residual souls of hundreds of thousands of priests left in this temple, how could Cang Liao escape?" Zhan Yuan explained.
"Ah!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed.
Chang Liao and Fu Tian had fled without warning, completely unexpectedly. Even she hadn't understood why. Now she knew it was because Ao Lai had devoured the souls of hundreds of thousands of priests buried in the temple. The golden beast soul fire she had previously sacrificed was intended to completely incinerate the resentment of these remaining souls.
But, could he really burn it all? Wouldn't he suffer backlash like Chang Liao? Mu Hanyan couldn't help but worry.
"He found the piece of Demon Dragon Heart Armor that Bafeng left in this temple, so he should be fine. The reason why the Lord God couldn't destroy this temple and could only seal it was because of the Demon Dragon Heart Armor. Bafeng also has the blood of my ancient demon god in his body, which is enough to keep him safe." Zhan Yuan comforted.
After hearing him say this, Mu Hanyan finally felt relieved.
Everyone's eyes were once again cast towards the ancient temple that had become ruins, and also towards the father and son, Ou Tokugawa and Ou Akechi, standing in front of the ruins.
The priests of each temple tried their best to search for a year but failed to find the whereabouts of Chi Liao. Millions of innocent people on the mainland died tragically because they helped Chi Liao hide his whereabouts.
Looking at the father and son, everyone's eyes were filled with rage, wishing to tear them into pieces. However, they did not make a move, because it was obvious that the two men were not going to survive, so why dirty their hands?
"Father, save me, save me..." Ou Mingzhi covered his bleeding chest and crawled towards his father with difficulty, begging with tears in his eyes.
"Oh..." Ou Dechuan sighed, grabbed the long sword beside him, and used up his last strength to stab the sword into his heart.
"Father, you..." Ou Mingzhi looked at his father in disbelief. Before he could finish his words, his head tilted and he lost the last bit of life.
"It's all my fault. I spoiled you too much in the past, and let you commit such a heinous mistake. Only death can give an explanation to the world, wash away the sins of my father and me, and wash away the shame we have brought to the Ou family." After saying that, Ou Dechuan drew out his sword, turned the tip of the sword, and rushed towards his heart.
The sword pierced through his chest and Ou Dechuan died.
Everyone watched this scene quietly, without saying a word or taking any action.
In fact, given Ou Dechuan's injuries, if they had tried their best, they might have been able to save his life. But he was right, only when both father and son died could they give an explanation to the world.
As for washing away the sins and shame, that is absolutely impossible. The deaths of millions of innocent people cannot be compensated by their own deaths.
