Chapter 291.1: Taken Away
“But it was a great pity it lasted only three short days. That thing controlled his body but was unable to control his heart. He would rather suffer bone rotting and heart gnawing torment than to really love me.”
“From that moment on, my heart really softened. It had not been comfortable for me to see how painful and agonizing it was for him as well, as that was someone I loved so much afterall, so how could I bear to really hurt him like that?”
“But it was all too late.”
Qing Luo Yan seemed to be deeply pained and overcome with remorse, her eyes filling up with tears. Her voice was slightly choked up when she continued to say: “From the moment I started to lay that spell on him, it was fated that he would die. Because his will was just too strong and he resisted with everything he had. So his body was wrecked by the voodoo grubs more severely, causing his cultivation to deteriorate by a great deal, and his life to hang just by a thread.”
“Finally, I lost my mind and wanted to kill my younger sister. He blocked my most lethal strike on my younger sister’s behalf and his very spirit soul shattered into splinters, and….. died on the spot.”
“In order to preserve his flesh body, my sister used a forbidden art and both her flesh body and spirit soul were obliterated.”
When she reached the end, Qing Luo Yan’s voice was slowly regaining its calm, till it became monotonous, like she was just relating someone else’s story, and it had nothing to do with her at all.
“The two people whom I loved most, had died at my hands.”
Qing Luo Yan turned herself slowly around to look at Qing Yu, the smile at the corners of her lips ironic and chilling to see. “Tell me, am I not such a great fool? All of this was done by my own hands. If I had chosen to let it go in the beginning, none of that would have happened wouldn’t it! ?”
Qing Yu eyes glinted sharply as she seemed to contemplate on the matter for a moment before she opened her mouth to say in a soft voice: “I wonder if the mysterious person the Temple Lord mentioned is…..”
The thing she was most concerned with, was of course that mysterious person whom Qing Luo Yan had mentioned a few times.
After she finished listening to Qing Luo Yan’s words, she seemed to feel that everything that happened was hiding a complex and sinister plot behind it all, like everything had been predetermined right from the start, and that Qing Luo Yan was merely a borrowed knife used by the shadowy mastermind at the back of all that.
However, Qing Luo Yan then came to shake her head lightly. “I have never seen that person’s looks before. Everytime he appeared, I was only able to see his faint silhouette, and his voice always sounded like he was very far away, as if it came out from behind many barriers, layer upon layer.”
Qing Yu’s brows knitted up for a moment. Based only on this unclear description, she would not be able to determine who the other party really was in any way. But what she was certain of was that this person was not just ordinarily powerful.
