Chapter 604: A Footprint
Calmwind Pass was the only entrance to Beastmaster, consisting of two towering peaks full of treacherous climbs.
Only one plank road built on trestles coiled around the ridge like a dragon.
At the top was a monastery with earthy-yellow walls and green roof-tiles. Inside was a lamp, still lit. Spirit trees surrounded the place. Beasts were roaming around - the image of a paradise.
“How can this be?!” Chi Yao shouted in horror with her hands covering her mouth after seeing the inside of the monastery.
The other three girls couldn’t believe their own eyes. Their expression darkened.
Wu Qinghua’s expression was even uglier. She looked at the nun sitting on the praying mat and couldn’t calm down: “Junior Aunt... is dead...”
The nun sitting straight inside the monastery was no longer alive.
Feiyun grabbed her wrist and said: “She’s cold outside but her blood is still warm, it hasn’t been long, and, she committed suicide for atonement.”
Wu Qinghua and the four girls became unhappy. Chi Yao coldly said: “Ancestor Liu is a person of virtue and prestige, too merciful and wouldn’t even kill an ant. Now, she was killed by a villain and if you keep on slandering her, I will not go easy on you.”
Ling’er added: “Feng Feiyun, her mental fortitude is peerless in the contemporary, she can’t commit suicide.”
Feiyun snorted and lifted the nun’s sleeve, revealing the ground beneath. There was a bloody character, “sinner”. Her finger has been ground down to the bone - clearly from writing the character numerous times.
The girls had no response and their heart grew heavier as if something has been broken in their mind - their confidence.
