Chapter 977: The Legend Of The Twin Ancestors
“Teacher Qin, huh? What did she say?” asked Lin Beichen.
Li Xiaofei replied, “Priestess Qin asked me to tell you: she did it.”
The message Priestess Qin had entrusted to Li Xiaofei consisted of just four simple words, 'I did it.'
It was very simple but the meaning behind them was something only Lin Beichen could understand.
A subtle change came over Lin Beichen’s expression as he suddenly fell silent. His gaze drifted toward the distant, pitch-black void. Those four plain words seemed to stir something within him, casting a faint shadow over his mood.
Li Xiaofei grew intensely curious. What kind of message lay behind those words, that even the mighty Sword Immortal of the human race would be struck speechless? But Lin Beichen’s silence lasted only for a dozen seconds or so.
Soon, he recovered his usual spirited demeanor and said, “That’s good news. I’m surprised you all found me so quickly, but I only have bad news to offer in return.”
He looked directly at Li Xiaofei and said, “I can’t leave this place.”
It truly was bad news. All the things Li Xiaofei had wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat. If Zhu Zhixun and the others had been here, they would have been gravely disappointed.
They had risked their lives, overcoming countless dangers to enter the Holy Ruins, just to find Lin Beichen, the Sword Immortal of the human race, and free him from whatever formation imprisoned him. They hoped he could return and, with a single sword strike, break through the darkness that had shrouded the Ancestor Court star system for millennia, and restore light to the human race. In the end, they had found him, but he couldn’t return.
