Chapter 67: Burning the Imperial Mausoleum into Ashes
“Why would you go this far?”
Jiang Chongguang had never expected that Li Shun would burn through his own lifespan just to break the seal before them.
“Stop right now!” Seeing strands of stark white silently creep into Li Shun’s ink-black hair, his voice trembled with urgency.
Li Shun only shook his head slowly. His expression was resolute as he said, “I am of the Dongshan Tomb Guarding lineage. If the Imperial Mausoleum is truly destroyed, I will not survive either. I must get out and report this at once.”
“Foolish! So what if the Imperial Mausoleum burns? At worst, we rebel outright!”
Li Shun merely smiled, ignoring him as he continued to frantically drive his Life Qi to dismantle the seal.
In barely an instant, nearly two hundred years of lifespan were consumed, leaving him with only ten years remaining. Only then did the stubborn seal finally collapse and disperse.
With his Life Qi drained dry in such a short span, Li Shun’s appearance changed in the blink of an eye. From a seventeen-year-old youth, he aged into a weathered man in his thirties.
His hair had turned almost entirely gray.
