Chapter 270: I’m Going to Disappear
Rong Mian pressed his lips together and remained silent.
If Huang Quan hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have noticed this detail. Thinking back now, he indeed hadn’t seen any life line on Nangong Mian. But… Nangong Mian must be the same as him.
If that weren’t the case, how could he be absorbing his soul?
Rong Mian didn’t plan to tell Huang Quan about Nangong Mian absorbing his soul. He was worried that Huang Quan wouldn’t believe him and would think that he was just occupying Nangong Mian’s body and refusing to leave.
His soul was being absorbed by Nangong Mian’s soul, and once the absorption was complete, he would completely disappear. This was why he asked Huang Quan to bring Zhong Yu, so he could say goodbye to him.
“You’re right,” Rong Mian said, looking at Huang Quan. “I really didn’t see the line of life and death on your brother. He probably has no connection to that High Priest—I was mistaken.”
“In that case, you’ve said everything you needed to. Will you now leave my brother’s body?”
“It is time to leave…”
Rong Mian opened his hand, and a book appeared.
Huang Quan recognized the book; it was the same one she had seen earlier in the tower’s realm.
“This is a forbidden book from the Divine Kingdom,” Rong Mian said.
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow at him. “What do I need that for?”
Rong Mian looked at her. “I’m going to disappear.”
Huang Quan wasn’t surprised.
Rong Mian’s soul power was disappearing for some unknown reason, and once it was completely gone, Rong Mian would vanish. That’s why she had told Zhong Yu earlier that Rong Mian wanted to say goodbye before he disappeared.
“These things are useless to me now,” Rong Mian said as he took out the Ice Cicada Sword. “This sword recognized me as its master, just like how Nangong Mian’s soul and mine are the same…”
At this, Rong Mian smiled at Huang Quan. “Even though you don’t want to admit it, this is indeed the truth. You can give this sword to your brother.”
“Consider it my apology gift,” Rong Mian said, coughing lightly. “For using his body without permission, I owe him an apology…”
As he continued, it became more difficult for Rong Mian to speak, showing that he didn’t have much time left.
“Huang Quan, I have a favor to ask of you,” Rong Mian said, looking at her. “If you agree, I’ll immediately leave your brother’s body.”
Huang Quan smiled at him. “I know what favor you want to ask.”
“But I suggest you ask him about his own wishes.”
“Rong Mian, what you want to give him might not be what he wants.”
Rong Mian looked at Huang Quan for a long moment before forming a hand seal. The empty room suddenly lit up with a blinding white light.
When the light faded, the people who had been sent away earlier reappeared in the room.
“Zhong Yu.”
Rong Mian looked at the group and called out to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu saw him and immediately ran over, stopping in front of him.
“Zhong Yu,” Rong Mian said, looking at him. “I’m going to disappear. I won’t be able to stay with you any longer. You should leave with them, leave the ruins, and go see the outside world.”
“I won’t leave.”
Zhong Yu grabbed his hand, his eyes reddening. “I won’t leave.”
“Stay here in the ruins? What for?” Rong Mian looked at him helplessly. “I’m going to disappear. I can’t stay with you anymore. Why would you stay in the ruins?”
“Ah Mian, if it weren’t for you, I would have died many years ago,” Zhong Yu said. “I became a living dead, staying in the ruins, just to see you again.”
“Now that I’ve seen you,” Rong Mian said with a smile, “I have no regrets.”
“The outside world is wonderful, but I don’t want to see it. I just want to be with you.”
“Let’s go together.”
Chapter 271: I’ll Send You Away
Rong Mian looked at him with deep eyes and asked, “Are you sure?”
Chong Yu smiled, “I’m sure.”
Rong Mian stared at him for a long time before sighing, “As you wish.”
Chong Yu beamed with joy, his smile radiant.
Seeing Chong Yu’s cheerful expression, a small smile also appeared on Rong Mian’s usually cold face.
“Wait for me a moment.”
“Okay.” Chong Yu nodded obediently.
Rong Mian turned to Huang Quan and said, “Thank you for bringing him here.”
With those words, Rong Mian closed his eyes.
As soon as Rong Mian closed his eyes, a faint white light began to emerge from Nangong Mian’s body. The white light gathered around Chong Yu and gradually formed the shape of a person.
That person was none other than the true appearance of Rong Mian, as Huang Quan had seen in the Tower Realm.
Rong Mian’s figure became translucent and dim, as if he could disappear at any moment.
With Rong Mian no longer supporting it, Nangong Mian’s body collapsed toward the ground. Huang Quan swiftly moved to catch him, preventing him from falling.
Rong Mian looked at her and said, “Don’t worry, your brother will be fine. I’m sending you both away now.”
His soul energy had been absorbed by Nangong Mian. This was his last bit of power, just enough to send them away. Once they were gone, he would disappear.
“You don’t have to be in such a rush,” Huang Quan said, holding Nangong Mian and looking at the two of them. “You can open the Tower Realm and let me continue to climb. I want to see what’s up there.”
Hearing this, Rong Mian smiled bitterly, “Huang Quan, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I can only open the first level; I can’t open the others.”
After hearing this, Huang Quan frowned slightly.
If Rong Mian couldn’t open it, did that mean she would have to break through by force?
She had finally found some clues related to the deathly aura—she couldn’t just let it go!
With that thought, Huang Quan, still holding Nangong Mian, walked over to Fo Xin. “Watch over my brother for me. I’m going up to take a look.”
She couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.
“**Huang Quan!**”
Rong Mian called out to her, “Huang Quan, I’m not sure about the higher levels, but we both know there’s deathly aura up there. I know you’re not afraid of it, but others can’t handle it.”
“They’re not like you. They can’t withstand that deathly aura.”
Huang Quan replied, “You can send them away first.”
“You’re right,” Rong Mian said. “I can indeed send them away first, but I can only do it once. If I send them out now, what about you?”
“How will you get out then?”
Huang Quan responded, “Don’t worry about me. I can find my own way out.”
“But you’ll attract the attention of the people from the Divine Kingdom,” Rong Mian said.
Huang Quan looked at him without speaking.
She understood what Rong Mian meant. Her brother’s situation was still unclear, and if the people from the Divine Kingdom found out, they would definitely try to capture him.
She wasn’t afraid of the Divine Kingdom, but she was only one person—she couldn’t protect her brother all the time. Moreover, their parents were still missing.
Huang Quan retreated to Nangong Mian’s side and looked at Rong Mian, “Alright, I won’t go.”
Rong Mian nodded, “I’ll send you all away.”
With that, Rong Mian raised his hands to form a seal, and white light appeared, enveloping everyone.
Perhaps due to a lack of strength, they didn’t disappear immediately after being enveloped by the white light.
Through the light, they saw Rong Mian’s body becoming more and more translucent, as if he could disappear at any moment…
Chong Yu smiled at them, and then flames rose from beneath his feet.
The moment the white light vanished, the flames engulfed Chong Yu.
Even the living dead can die.
They will turn to ashes in the flames.
The chapter is finished! I hope you enjoy the rest of your reading! ^0^
