After Jing Yue's death, the battle came to an end. Although Qinchuan won the final victory, he wasn't in a good mood because Sky City was gone. Perhaps less than a tenth of the tens of millions of people in Sky City would survive!
This was a very painful thing for everyone!
However, the statistics of these casualties were Gao En's job. Qinchuan had other things to do.
As soon as Qinchuan left the Elf, he rushed to Lü Zi's side. He looked at Lü Zi and asked nervously, "Where's Senior Sister?"
Hearing Qinchuan asking about Zhou Lin's situation, Lü Zi looked troubled. She said to Qinchuan, "I'll take you to see her. You have to be mentally prepared. Her situation isn't very good."
Seeing the troubled look on Lü Zi's face, Qinchuan had a bad premonition. When Lü Zi brought him to Zhou Lin's side and saw Zhou Lin on the verge of death, Qinchuan's face turned completely gloomy. He didn't expect Zhou Lin's situation to be so bad!
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister?"
Qin Chuan squatted by Zhou Lin's side and looked at the pale-faced and unconscious Zhou Lin. His face was full of heartache and regret. If he had known the truth earlier, he would not have waited until now to rush over. He would have rescued Zhou Lin and helped her escape the abyss of suffering. However, it was too late to think about this now. What had happened had already happened. He could not turn back time!
Qinchuan tried to transfer his spiritual power into Zhou Lin's body. However, all the meridians in Zhou Lin's body were broken. Even her Dantian was destroyed. She couldn't accept the spiritual power he transferred. If he forcefully transferred his spiritual power into Zhou Lin's body, it would cause more damage to her body and accelerate her death!
"Bai Yuu, do you have a way to save her?" Qinchuan suddenly thought of Bai Yuu. "Treat her like how you treated me!"
Bai Yuu's figure slowly appeared beside Qinchuan. She glanced at Zhou Lin's condition and said to Qinchuan with some regret, "I'm sorry, I can't save her. She can't take any impact right now, not even the softest life force …"
In short, Zhou Lin was beyond saving!
Zhou Lin was only at the Golden Core Realm. When she faced Shangguan Yuanhao, whose strength was close to the Nascent Soul Realm, even a casual strike from him would have been extremely fatal to her. In addition, he had delayed the best time to treat her. Zhou Lin was already very lucky to have survived until now!
"Qinchuan …"
At this moment, an extremely soft cry sounded in Qinchuan's ears. Qinchuan looked at Zhou Lin who was slowly opening her eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Senior Sister, I'm here."
Qinchuan sobbed as he hugged Zhou Lin. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I came too late!"
"Qinchuan, it's not your fault. Father and I were wrong. We chose the wrong person."
Zhou Lin's condition seemed to be gradually improving, showing signs of terminal lucidity. "I let you down back then. I never had the chance to apologize to you. I'm really … sorry."
Hearing Zhou Lin's apology, Qinchuan shook his head. "Senior Sister, you didn't do anything wrong. It's that bastard Shangguan Yuanhao and Jing Yue who were wrong!"
Qinchuan hated Shangguan Yuanhao and Jing Yue to the bone. He even regretted not killing them first. He should've tortured them to death!
"Qinchuan, I'm really happy to be able to see you again at the end of my life."
Zhou Lin looked at Qinchuan. "There are some words that I've been holding back in my heart. Now, I can finally say them without restraint. Actually, I realized that I liked you back at the training camp during the winter break, but you gave me the Foundation Establishment Elixir back then. I owed you too much, so I couldn't tell you the words that were in my heart. I didn't expect that I still owe you even now …"
"Senior Sister, don't say anymore." Qinchuan cried bitterly. "We'll still have a chance in the future …"
"Qinchuan, I don't want to be a ghost cultivator. Don't summon my soul after I die. Just let me leave this world in peace."
Zhou Lin looked seriously at Qinchuan. "I've already died without regrets. This is my last wish. Please … help me fulfill it …"
As her voice became softer and softer, Zhou Lin's life aura also became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared. The senior sister who had given Qinchuan a lot of help when he first embarked on the path of cultivation and accompanied Qinchuan through the purest and most beautiful moments of his life had finally left this world.
The curtain finally fell on the first white moonlight.
"Senior Sister …"
…
Qinchuan hesitated again and again, but in the end, he complied with Zhou Lin's wishes. He didn't summon her soul and let her go with the wind and reincarnate.
Looking at Zhou Lin's body that was gradually becoming cold in his arms, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Bai You, "Take me to the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. I want to bury Senior Sister there."
"I'll go with you." Lü Zi looked at Zhou Lin's body with a complicated gaze. "I also want to send her on her way."
Bai Yuu nodded lightly. With a thought, a green light fell from the Hope and pulled them into it. With a flash of green light, the Hope disappeared from the sky and appeared in the sky above the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range almost instantly.
The place Qinchuan chose for Zhou Lin was the place where they first entered the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. He didn't specially build a grave for Zhou Lin. He simply dug a hole and wrapped Zhou Lin's body tightly with leaves. Just like that, he simply buried her.
Ka ka ka.
Qinchuan cut a piece of bluestone into a long strip and carved the words "Eternal Senior, Zhou Lin's Grave" with his finger. Then, he erected the tombstone in front of the grave.
Lv Zi glanced at the surroundings, and with a wave of her hand, she set up an illusory array in the surroundings. She whispered to Qin Chuan, "There are many wild beasts in this Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. It's better to set up an illusory array so as to not disturb her rest."
Hearing Lü Zi's words, Qinchuan nodded lightly and said to Lü Zi, "You're more meticulous than I thought."
Qinchuan took two steps back and looked at the grave that he personally piled up in front of him. He said to Lü Zi, "Too many things have happened in these years. The people around us have left one after another …"
Lv Zi took a deep look at Qin Chuan and said in a low voice, "No one can be eternal. We will all die. I just hope that when my death comes, I will be able to die without regrets like her."
After standing quietly for a while, Qinchuan said to the two, "Let's go. There are still many things to deal with."
Although the curtains were drawn on the war, the matter of how to deal with the Ancients was still undecided!
