Capítulo 1209: Chapter 90: A Secret to Guard for Life
In the dark depths beneath the Frozen Lake, after the [Child] explosion, only a pervasive silence remained.
Gu Shen was not expecting it.
He could still hear other sounds.
He suddenly looked up, towards the source of the sounds, in the direction where the [Green Royal Realm] hovered. After the storm unleashed by the Heavenly Sheath Weapon, it was shrouded in a dark vortex.
A broken, decaying body… was floating within the vortex, covered with countless wounds, and its blood had long dried up.
At this mont, the waters within the Frozen Lake washed over.
The cracked flesh was faintly whitish.
He could no longer bleed.
Jing Shan Yan was still alive!
Gu Shen instantly leapt towards the direction of the sound. Upon seeing the decayed and ravaged body, a glint of compassion flashed in his eyes, “Mr. Jing, hold on… I’ll heal you!”
Han Dang had been relentlessly interrogating Jing Shan Yan with the [Truth].
This forr Grand Judge’s skin had been torn open and nded countless tis, tortured beyond asure.
His body was also filled with countless “Heavenly Sheath Fragnts.”
Yet.
In the face of such interrogation, he did not utter a single word.
The information Han Dang possessed was forcibly extracted through “spiritual plundering,” however, reversing the natural order ca at a price, and his spiritual power was far inferior to that of Jing Shan Yan, thus the information obtained was incomplete.
Jing Shan Yan’s body was full of Heavenly Sheath Fragnts… these fragnts constantly drained his life.
Gu Shen’s fingertips were tinged with Chi Huo as he prepared to touch the wounds.
“No… there’s no need.”
Jing Shan Yan’s voice was hoarse yet resolute.
He looked at Gu Shen, forcing a comforting smile: “Young man, there’s no need to waste your energy… to save .”
Gu Shen ignored him, forcibly transferring all the “Heavenly Sheath Curse” from Jing Shan Yan onto himself…
To him, it wasn’t a big deal.
After doing this, the old man’s pallid complexion improved slightly.
But… his breath remained weak.
“I don’t have much ti left.”
With the dispersal of the Heavenly Sheath Curse, the fragnts were also extracted by Gu Shen. Throughout the process, Jing Shan Yan felt his body becoming lighter, yet his face remained without joy.
“Young man, why engage in futile efforts?”
The old man rely muttered: “Everyone dies, my ti has co, you cannot save .”
“…”
Gu Shen was speechless, but despite the silence, his hands did not stop moving.
Indeed, Jing Shan Yan was right.
He truly did not have much ti left.
But at this mont, removing a single Heavenly Sheath Fragnt would spare the old man so suffering.
Gu Shen originally thought that after Jing Shan Yan withstood the [Child] blast, there might still be a chance to save him, but as his spirit delved into Jing Shan Yan’s body, he realized the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
The state of this old man’s body could only be described as being at the end of its tether.
One could even say Han Dang’s [Truth] interrogation was what prolonged Jing Shan Yan’s life.
For more than twenty years, he had been imprisoned in the deepest part of [Snow Cage].
He was the only Transcendent who survived for twenty years in the Sky Sheath Core Area.
His bodily organs were all so aged they were unrecognizable. Without Han Dang’s [Truth] rewriting the causal fabric to prolong his life, he would likely have died during the [Green Royal Realm] subrsion process…
“How do you know about ?”
As Gu Shen extracted the Heavenly Sheath Fragnts, he gently asked.
This was sothing he couldn’t figure out.
Han Dang had stolen part of Jing Shan Yan’s mories, learning of his [Key] identity, but how did Jing Shan Yan know?
The wrinkles on the corners of the old man’s eyes deepened as he smiled.
He softly uttered three words.
“Zhou Jiren.”
Gu Shen was montarily bewildered.
Yes.
He had overlooked that old figure who vanished from the Five Continents in his earlier assessnt…
“Two years ago, he ca to the Tundra.”
Jing Shan Yan did not seem like a dying man as he gazed at Gu Shen, his eyes gentle, as if he wasn’t five hundred ters beneath the earth at the Frozen Lake, but in so warm spring blossom-filled hot springs.
“He told he was going on a long journey, soon heading to the North Continent…”
“He also told he found the [Key] to the Ancient Literature Society, a promising young lad nad Gu Shen…”
Throughout Jing Shan Yan’s vast, tumultuous life, he had faced considerable “ordeals.”
He banished the stars, bearing the guilt alone.
What could make a person persevere in the depths of [Snow Cage] for so long?
Actually, it was just a small, epheral belief.
“Gu Shen.”
Jing Shan Yan extended his rough hand, gently patting the young man’s shoulder. With a trembling voice, he laughed, “I’ve always wanted to et you… thanks to fate’s favor, I finally have…”
Gu Shen’s eyes were complex. He extended his hand, gently clasping the back of the old man’s hand, without saying anything.
Jing Shan Yan coughed violently.
Gu Shen infused a wisp of the fla of vitality, but its effect was minimal.
The fla of vitality couldn’t save soone destined to die.
Jing Shan Yan’s life had truly co to an end… but he did not fear death; he feared his years of perseverance had been aningless. Seeing Gu Shen now, the years of waiting and suffering were worth it.
“I have sothing to say to you…”
The old man rasped, “Is it safe here?”
