Chapter 38
“Chaoyang is dead?”
“Yes. He died in the secret realm. Brother Shan has confirmed it—someone saw his body inside. His heart appeared to have been gnawed through by some kind of insect…”
Dressed in plain white mourning clothes, Nan Jie stood atop Peak Seven, her expression complicated as she gazed into the distance. In the end, she hadn’t been able to dissuade Lin Chaoyang.
Upon hearing the news, Qi Ping fell into abrupt silence.
Though he’d anticipated this outcome, the confirmation still left him with mixed emotions.
A week ago, he’d spent a long time trying to persuade Lin Chaoyang, but nothing could shake the latter’s determination to go.
Truly, fortune and misfortune are two sides of the same coin.
In the end, Lin Chaoyang’s luck had run out. Finding that one cultivation method must have drained all his good fortune.
To Qi Ping, seeking opportunities through risk was somewhat like gambling. Many people assumed that winning once meant they could keep winning forever.
