Chapter 125
Dark Sky Village
The twelfth life has begun.
“Phew, what a situation.”
I sat in the barn, staring blankly for quite a while.
To die from Lu Dongbin‘s rampage after his descent!
To be honest, I hadn’t thought I would live for long, but it felt absurd to die like that. Who would’ve expected that the Golden Eagle Commander would transform into a demon, and that Lu Dongbin would come down to save the day, only to expend all his energy and perish?
But perhaps from Lu Dongbin‘s perspective, it made sense. The forces from the Demon Subduing Hall, who sent the Golden Eagle Commander, seemed to have aimed to open a dimensional gate leading to Dark Sky Village. If that were to open, it would bring about a Great Scourge, so as a celestial being who protects humans, Lu Dongbin had to stop it, even at the cost of my life. Since he had once saved my life, I decided to let it go.
However, the bigger problem was the reason for failure.
I had clearly succeeded in drawing most of my connections to Luoyang to form a significant force. Normally, that alone would’ve wiped out the remnants of the Golden Eagles without any issue. Yet due to continuously worsening conditions, I had to leave Luoyang without having fought properly.
