Chapter 579 - 440: Alive
Zheng Jingshu looked at the head of Zheng Tong before her, her expression growing increasingly grim.
Though she disliked Zheng Tong’s preachings and was often annoyed by his presumptions, he was still an elder of her clan.
He was a relative who had watched her grow up since she was a child, her mentor in cultivation, and the person who had silently supported her and her sister over the years.
When the young girl saw his head returned to Ming Mountain Sect in such a bloody and mangled state, her recent impatience and disgust towards Zheng Tong seemed to dissipate all at once.
Her mind suddenly recalled the great changes in the world, when the spiritual essence surged, countless common disciples of the Ming Mountain Sect rose up, and bursts of bloodshed erupted on the mountain. It was he who had stood in front of her and her sister, shielding the still youthful them from the harshness of the world.
But now, Zheng Tong was reduced to nothing but a head, his face so disfigured that not a single whole feature remained, only bloodied marks continuously twisting and forming numbers.
And yet, within his head, there lingered a faint trace of vitality, preventing Zheng Tong from dying.
She could imagine the unimaginable torture he must have endured.
A surge of murderous intent gathered in her mind, her overwhelming grief finding no outlet.
As Zheng Jingshu’s emotions fluctuated, the ground beneath her feet thundered, and the nearby mountains reverberated with echoing howls.
At that moment, all of Ming Mountain fell eerily silent, every creature fearing the vast power accumulating within the earth and mountains.
And Zheng Jingshu, the source of these phenomena, only wished to find the perpetrator of this act and inflict upon them the most cruel and terrifying revenge, making them regret everything they had done.
