survivor
At this moment, dark clouds shrouded the Mingyue Sect, sweeping through the area along with a fierce wind. Yet, Jiang Yingyue stood straight outside the main hall, ignoring everything around her.
She regretted it.
Would the outcome have been different if I hadn't left?
It was all her fault. She was too willful, which caused everyone to die because of her.
"Moon".
"Moon!!!"
A heart-wrenching cry suddenly broke the deathly silence, pulling Jiang Yingyue back to reality. She immediately turned to look at the source of the sound and saw Ji Yinglei, covered in blood, desperately running towards her. She lunged forward, and the two of them fell to the ground, an arrow landing beside them.
Only then did she notice that on a rooftop not far away, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was aiming an arrow at them.
"Hurry up... They'll be here for you soon..." Ji Yinglei urged Jiang Yingyue, enduring the excruciating pain in his body.
Almost instinctively, Jiang Yingyue hugged Ji Yinglei, saying, "No, let's go together!" She didn't have time to think; she only knew that she could still save her senior sister. So Jiang Yingyue quickly got up, helped Ji Yinglei, and walked towards the gate as fast as she could.
Jiang Yingyue supported Ji Yinglei with one hand, while using the other to block arrows. Before their main force arrived, they quickly reached the exit.
"Hold on, senior sister, we'll be down the mountain soon." Jiang Yingyue said this not only to Ji Yinglei, but also to herself. She was trying her best to focus on the present and not to get distracted.
Because Ji Yinglei's injuries were too severe, Jiang Yingyue dared not use her lightness skill to take her down the mountain directly. Her heart was in her throat the whole time. In order not to be discovered, she deliberately led Ji Yinglei along a path hidden in the bamboo forest.
"I'm sorry... Yue'er, I failed to protect her..." Ji Yinglei murmured, "The people of the Heavenly Alliance... they stole the Thunder Sword."
"Stop talking, Senior Sister, let's go down the mountain first." Jiang Yingyue quickly interrupted. Now was not the time to think about this. All she wanted now was to get her Senior Sister away from here safely.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew towards the two of them, the sound echoing throughout the bamboo forest. Jiang Yingyue felt only a jolt and staggered to the side.
That's how she witnessed the entire process of Ji Yinglei being shot by an arrow.
"Hurry up."
These were the last words Ji Yinglei spoke to her. Then, like a puppet without its strings, she tumbled down the slope. Jiang Yingyue was about to chase after her when she heard a familiar voice behind her:
"Tsk, missed."
Upon hearing that voice, Jiang Yingyue felt a sudden ringing in her ears. Not for any other reason than that when she turned her head, she was met with a pair of ambitious eyes. A magnificent white robe, a sharply defined face with many wrinkles—it was the very person Jiang Yingyue had encountered in Qiyun Town!
How could she have imagined that the person she had once spoken with face to face would soon massacre the Bright Moon Sect?
Bai Yu was clearly very satisfied with Jiang Yingyue's expression at this moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and he even put down the bow in his hand, like a victor looking down on the fear of the loser.
Jiang Yingyue was furious. Just as she was about to fight back, several Heavenly Dao Alliance disciples appeared to her right. It turned out they were waiting for someone to finish her off. She knew that if she continued fighting, the pursuers would only increase. Jiang Yingyue took a deep breath and memorized Bai Yu's face. She vowed that one day she would personally cut off his head and hang it at the gate of the Bright Moon Sect.
