Chapter 40 She Killed Gu Qi
Sixty-five years have passed since she met Gu Qi, and she has never seen him in such a disheveled state.
He had always been impeccable and composed in front of her, but now, he leaned against the wall, his hair disheveled, his torn clothes revealing deep, bone-revealing wounds, his clothes stained with blood, almost turning the entire garment red.
He was bleeding so much; he was sitting in a pool of blood. He wasn't dead; she could feel his weak breathing.
Yes, he's not dead yet.
He's not dead yet.
I have a dull ache in my heart.
Han Wei clutched her chest.
Why does it hurt? Isn't this what she wanted? She let him in because she wanted him dead. Han Wei, isn't this what you wanted him to die?
Yes, she wanted him dead.
Anyone who gets in her way deserves to die.
Han Wei's gaze towards Gu Qi grew increasingly cold. After staring at him for a long time, she turned and left. She had only taken two steps when a weak voice came from behind her:
“Weiwei…”
Han Wei's body trembled.
"Weiwei, Weiwei, is that you?"
The man leaning against the wall spoke weakly, slowly opening his eyes as if he had exhausted all his strength. Han Wei, with her back to him, took a deep breath before turning around.
She met his golden eyes.
“Master…” she said.
He looked at her, his breathing labored. They stared at each other in silence for a long time, Gu Qi's heavy breathing sounding incredibly oppressive in the deathly still space. Finally, Gu Qi looked at Han Wei and softly asked:
"Weiwei, aren't you going to come and help me?"
His eyes held a turbulent mix of emotions.
Han Wei walked towards him step by step.
Inside the main hall, the girl in colorful clothes slowly walked up to the man, knelt down, and reached out to help him up. The man used her strength to get up, but suddenly his body trembled, blood gushed from his mouth again, and his golden eyes widened.
He looked down and saw a dagger stuck in his heart.
"Why did you stop me? I was just about to let you go."
Han Wei's voice trembled, and crystal tears welled up in her eyes.
Why did you call her over?
Gu Qi used his last bit of strength to grab her arm, but he couldn't say a word. The light in his golden eyes dimmed, and he collapsed into her arms.
Gu Qi is dead.

Beyond the Thirty-Six Heavens, in a place transcending all realms and unbound by time and space, lies a wisp of chaotic energy, within which lies a secret realm.
This secret realm has no fixed form. Sometimes it is a lotus pond stretching for thousands of miles, each lotus flower containing the aura of the Great Dao; sometimes it transforms into a void of stars, the trajectory of each star secretly conforming to the workings of the Heavenly Dao; and sometimes it transforms into a long river of time, reflecting the remnants of countless ages...
At this moment, the chaotic energy transformed into a starry sky, and within that starry sky, there was an extremely bright ball of light, and within that ball of light was a figure.
It was a sleeping man in white robes, with a handsome appearance beyond the imagination of ordinary people. His long silver hair seemed to be formed from the radiance of stars, and his fair skin was covered with ancient and mysterious totems. His white robes had silver patterns flowing around them.
He was holy and immaculate, surrounded by divine light, with chaotic energy flowing around him. His silver hair and robes moved without wind, radiating an extremely powerful aura that instilled fear in all living beings.
The Heavenly Emperor, this ancient deity, has slumbered here for over a thousand years.
At the moment of Gu Qi's death, he opened his eyes.

In the deathly silent main hall of the Jade Palace, the sound of a woman's sobbing echoed.
Han Wei held Gu Qi's body and grieved for a long time before she could calm down.
She wiped away her tears, and with a wave of her hand, an icy blue light surged from her palm. An ice flower flew from her hand, instantly solidifying into an ice coffin upon landing. Han Wei placed Gu Qi's body into the ice coffin, sealed it with a protective barrier, and then stored it in her storage bag.
Han Wei continued to spread her divine sense, noticing signs that the damaged space was repairing itself. Her divine sense detected several strange occurrences. She knew that this Jade Palace was no ordinary place, and that its significance extended beyond just the mirror.
When she entered this place in her previous life, she was already at the Nascent Soul stage, but her knowledge was insufficient to unravel its secrets.
Later, my cultivation level improved, but I never had the chance to come here again.
Now, although she has been reborn here, she only has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul and has no intention of taking risks here. She has already gained enough this time. After picking up a few more storage bags from Nascent Soul monsters, Han Wei flew towards the teleportation array she had used in her previous life.
Although she knew about the mirror, it was integrated into the palace, and she had no idea where it was. There were other dangers here, so she decided to improve her strength before retrieving the mirror.
Han Wei flew for several hours until she reached a passage. Just as she was about to fly through, her divine sense detected a living being. In the ruins, a woman in red was buried beneath. Han Wei recognized the young woman; it was Wen Chun.
She didn't die.
While Wen Chun was fighting his own projection, he was caught in the shockwave from the battle between Gu Qi and his mirror projection. Wen Chun's mirror projection was severely injured. Wen Chun took the opportunity to finish off his own mirror projection, but he was soon caught in the terrifying shockwave, severely injured and thrown away, and was then buried in the ruins.
After thinking for a moment, Han Wei flew towards Wen Chun. With a wave of her hand, the rock that had been hitting Wen Chun was moved aside, and Wen Chun had already fainted. Han Wei looked at her disheveled appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then fed her a pill. Not long after, Wen Chun slowly woke up:
“It’s you.”
Wen Chun looked at Han Wei in surprise, her voice weak.
"Can you stand up?" Han Wei asked expressionlessly.
Wen Chun shook her head.
Han Wei then picked her up horizontally and carried her as they sped off toward the teleportation array.

This is a primeval forest in the Eastern Region. Suddenly, a red magic circle appeared somewhere in this primeval forest, and a girl dressed in colorful clothes appeared out of thin air from the magic circle. The girl was also carrying a woman in red horizontally.
After the girl in colorful clothes appeared here, she looked around and flew towards a big tree. She put the woman in red, whom she was holding, under the tree and let her lean against it.
“I think you should be able to return to Yunmiao Island on your own,” Han Wei said, looking at Wen Chun.
Wen Chun leaned against the tree, looked up at her, and asked, "Why did you save me?"
“We only fought once, we have no relationship or enmity. I saved you, you owe me a life, and you will have to repay it someday,” Han Wei said.
Wen Chun looked at her in surprise, and seeing that Han Wei was about to leave, she asked again, "Where is my master? Have you... have you seen him?"
"Dead."
Wen Chun had already anticipated this, but Han Wei's words shattered her last hope. Tears welled in her eyes; she still didn't understand what had happened. Why was there an enemy identical to herself inside? After finally defeating that enemy, the entire space collapsed, and she was thrown out by a shockwave caused by someone unknown, then she lost consciousness.
In the moment she lost consciousness, she saw countless dead people.
That's terrifying.
She looked at Han Wei and asked, "Where...where is your master?"
Han Wei had her back to her, her hand clenched into a fist inside her sleeve: "She's dead too."
After saying this, Han Wei transformed into a colorful rainbow and disappeared into the sky.
