Chapter 704: Chapter 198: The Netherworld King’s Gaze_3
So many people?!
Shen Li was stunned, desperately clinging to his tattered robe.
What… what’s going on?
The lingering mories in his mind were still stuck on the icy images of the cetery.
If he rembered correctly.
Before he fell into a deep sleep, the last person he’d seen was the incomparably beautiful Miss Chu.
How co, upon waking, he saw these two odd-looking fellows instead!
“You really can sleep, you’ve been out for almost two days,”
Gong Zi pursed his lips and explained, “A lot has happened in the cetery, but now everything has settled down… It’s just you who were still asleep, we gathered here naturally to see the excitent, everyone wanted to see how much longer you could sleep.”
“???”
Shen Li was blank.
At this mont, soone passed him a large robe with a laugh.
“Brother Gu…”
Shen Li draped it over himself, still sowhat confused.
“Your condition is quite special, your spirit was frozen,” Gu Shen said softly. “Because you were too close to the Great Cold Disaster Realm, it took a long ti for you to awaken…”
“Is this… Qingzhong?”
Shen Li’s lips were dry as he looked around, catching sight of the damaged greenery.
“Yes.”
Gu Shen nodded, after the turmoil of the cetery had cald down, he had placed Shen Li near the inner mausoleum.
Senior Bai Shu is currently within the cetery.
The warm power emanating from the Battle Fire could nourish the soul, moving closer was of great healing benefit to Shen Li, resolving the ice and snow from the Great Cold Disaster Realm naturally a bit faster.
“Today is the funeral at the cetery…”
Gu Shen transmitted his voice, “These people are here to attend the funeral.”
Only then did Shen Li notice that indeed many people were gathered beyond the grassy area where he was, all dressed formally, their expressions solemn.
He saw many familiar faces in the crowd.
Among them was his teacher.
His teacher seed to have aged a lot overnight.
His spirit, frozen by the Great Cold Disaster Realm, was slowly recovering, fragnted mories flooding back like a tidal wave.
Shen Li’s face was ashen as he grasped Gu Shen’s hand, his voice hoarse, “Brother Gu… are you alright?”
“I’ve already killed Xu Yan.”
Gu Shen’s expression was gentle as he patted the back of Shen Li’s hand, indicating there was no need to worry.
Shen Li had witnessed Xu Yan’s slaughter.
Then, he had been pursued.
After killing Xu Yan, Gu Shen saw the entire chase from Xu Yan’s shattered mories.
The ordeal ended only when Shen Li fled into the inner mausoleum and encountered Gu Shen… Before he fell into his deep slumber, he had been concerned about whether he would die at Xu Yan’s hands and whether the entire cetery would be destroyed by this great conspiracy.
So when he woke up, he subconsciously voiced his greatest worries.
Having received a positive response,
Little Iron Man took a long breath of relief.
He then quickly recalled another important matter, stepping briskly to face Li Yu, his complexion pale as he said, “Teacher… Brother Zou is dead… He died trying to save …”
Upon hearing these words,
The expressions of the onlookers all fell, especially the officials from the prison who had co to attend the funeral.
The Fourth Judge Li Yu, although previously white-haired, was still in his pri years and looked quite handso. After the changes in the cetery, however, he seed to have aged ten years overnight.
All of his disciples, except for Shen Li… perished in the great snow of the cetery.
All because of Xu Yan.
If possible, Li Yu wished that Xu Yan had not died, so he would have the opportunity to execute this evildoer himself!
“I… know all about it…”
About the things Xu Yan had done in the cetery.
Gu Shen had brought out that mory and had it replicated and uploaded within Deep Sea…
This incident enraged many in Changye.
Countless were deceived by this S-rank individual.
Xu Yan alone caused the greatest casualty within the cetery… Many did not die from the impact of the snow surge, nor in the aftermath of the Divine War; they were killed by Xu Yan, “hunted” by him!
Many here were in attendance for the funeral.
However, Li Yu had arrived at the cetery early; he was there waiting for his last disciple to awaken… Now that Shen Li had recovered, the heaviest burden in Li Yu’s heart was finally lifted.
Clear ringing bell sounds resonated in the distant sky, the sound of the Array Patterns of Qingzhong Cetery.
“The funeral… is about to begin.”
Li Yu took a deep breath, patted his disciple’s shoulder, and said softly, “I am at peace now that you’re awake.”
…
…
The tolling of the bell began.
The five major families, the three major institutions, all those who entered the cetery, gradually congregated.
They arrived in front of a small hill in the inner mausoleum.
The hill wasn’t high.
A faint mist lingered, not clearly visible at a glance.
This whiff of mist signified that Qingzhong Cetery had begun repairs, starting from the inner mausoleum, gradually resurrecting from the Silent Annihilation, then returning to its past completeness.
Qingzhong Cetery, originally under lockdown for reconstruction, had its restrictions lifted especially for today.
The Qingzhong incident, which had shaken the East Continent, resulted in the death of one hundred ninety-six Transcendents.
Beyond that… Mr. Gu Changzhi, hailed as the War God of the East Continent, had departed from this world forever.
The grand funeral and morial ceremony took place today.
People stood solemnly in front of the hill.
The entire ceremony was extrely repressed.
The departed have passed on, and the living must continue to move forward… This principle is understood by all, but only those who have personally experienced loss can truly grasp what parting ans.
Qingzhong, which often saw rain, was unexpectedly dry today, without a single drop falling.
