Chapter 178 - 63: Holy Spiritual Treasure
Lie Rou steadied her emotions and continued speaking.
Lie Changgong and his beloved wife, Feng Wanwan, shared a deep bond of love. Upon seeing Feng Wanwan’s corpse, the towering man, a good seven feet tall, knelt and wept ceaselessly.
What kind of sorrow and despair that was, those who have not experienced it could scarcely understand.
In a fury, Lie Changgong confronted the sacred land of the Danlu, Ji Qiugou, but helplessly was defeated by the experts summoned by Danlu, his Dantian shattered, nearly driven to self-destruct.
Had it not been for an elder alchemist from Danlu, who had good relations with Feng Wanwan, stepping in to protect him, Lie Changgong would likely have perished on the spot.
Since then, Lie Changgong had never recovered, his Divine Sense chaotic, to the point that when his daughter Lie Rou returned to the Lie Family Mansion with Yue Minzhi and Yue Jinghua to visit, he could no longer recognize them.
Not long after Lie Rou returned to Longzhan Country, Lie Changgong, in a stormy night of thunder and rain, wandered off in a deranged state and vanished without a trace.
After Lie Changgong’s departure, the people of the Lie Family Mansion made a few symbolic attempts to search for him but to no avail, and then publicly declared that Lie Changgong had fallen. The Dark Heavenly Master met an end that left his fate unknown.
This matter involved the Danlu, something Lie Rou never mentioned to her husband, Yue Nian.
Upon recollecting the past, Lie Rou choked up several times, only swallowing the bitterness in her heart. Innately kind-hearted, she was in fact also quite impetuous, and if not for the concern for her children, she would have certainly confronted Lie Changshun and Lie Chang’an for answers.
In the mind of Yue Jinghua, an indistinct image emerged. A large man, with a withered spirit and form, lay on a sickbed, his eyes hollow as if he were already a dead man.
The beloved was gone, a solitary survival was more painful than death itself.
