They were clearly suspicious, clearly angry, but in the end, all of that was completely wiped out by Yi Chenli's sword.
Apart from An Yuan'er herself, no one else in this world knows about her past life. The other person who knew about her past life had already died under Yi Chenli's sword and would never have the chance to speak again.
The secrets of past lives will forever remain sealed away.
Three corpses lay on the ground. An Piao'er and Pearl had both perished in the battle. Pearl, clinging to life, crawled to Gu Chuzhi's body and intertwined their bodies. Perhaps only at this moment did Gu Chuzhi truly belong to her, Pearl. Pearl smiled as she breathed her last.
The place was a complete mess.
The Buddhist hall is a place to save all sentient beings, but this converted secret room has completely tainted this sacred place and defiled this holy site.
Two black-clad guards appeared behind Yi Chenli and respectfully said, "Master, the remnants of the Gu faction have been completely wiped out. Leave this place to us, and we will restore it to its original state."
"As before?" Yi Chenli remained noncommittal.
He took out a tinderbox, lit it, and without hesitation threw it into the room.
"Presumably even Buddha felt this place was filthy, so let this fire completely take everything away from here."
As the fire intensified, the fiery clouds gradually turned the Buddhist temple red.
Crimson red and dazzling.
Yi Chenli was the last to leave. He watched as Gu Chuzhi's body was burned to ashes, along with two female corpses.
Yi Chenli said in a gloomy tone, "I've been quite good to you, giving you two beautiful wives to accompany you. It's not a bad thing."
These words were naturally meant for Gu Chuzhi.
Yi Chenli was not a kind person to begin with, and this was probably his revenge for Gu Chuzhi's last words. Legend has it that men and women who are burned to ashes together in a raging fire will be entangled for all eternity.
Yi Chenli's general hope was that even underground, An Piao'er and Pearl would still be entangled with Gu Chuzhi. Only then would his Yuan'er be completely free from Gu Chuzhi's clutches, and his midnight dreams would no longer be filled with nightmares.
A fire took away all the filth and sin, and also completely severed the karmic ties from past and present lives.
it's all over.
Yi Chenli eventually disappeared in the fire, as if he had never been there at all.
What no one knew was that this man, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, spoke devoutly to the Buddha statue engulfed in flames for the first time: "Gods and Buddhas bear witness, if there truly is such a thing as past lives, then Yuan'er intentionally approached me and deceived me. So, I ask the gods and Buddhas to bear witness that the believer is willing to be deceived by her for all eternity, and will never wake up until death."
Even if it is a deception of fate, Yi Chenli is willing to be the fool who will never wake up in this deception, because that person is her!

The raging fire burned for three days and three nights before finally coming to an end.
The fire came suddenly and unexpectedly, and no one knew the cause. Fortunately, everyone in the temple escaped, and no monks were injured or killed.
Later, somehow, a rumor spread that the temple was cursed, and the fire was a warning from heaven.
After that, the temple was completely abandoned, and the original monks all went to other temples. No one dared to approach it anymore.
The real bride remained completely unaware of what was happening outside; she was well protected.
Her groom had cleaned up everything, eliminating all the remaining troubles and dangers before she could. He shielded her from all the storms, and she could simply marry him in happiness and peace.
He has everything.
