Chapter 343: Chapter 73 Xuan Yue Leaves Seclusion_5
Over a year and a half, after watching fourteen of her clan members commit suicide one after another, Zhuo Yun had become numb. In the small bundle she carried on her back, there were fourteen portraits made from ashes. Each portrait represented a life from her clan! Each time she saw these statues, Zhuo Yun’s heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. If it were not for the constant comfort from the Yan Shi brothers and Ah Dai, she would have likely fallen apart already. The only belief she held now was to rescue the Elf Clan’s princess.
The Yan Shi brothers were deeply worried about Ah Dai’s changing personality. Although they wanted to dissuade him, the death of each elf fueled their desire to kill. How could they possibly change Ah Dai’s mind? Fortunately, those who Ah Dai killed were all villains, which was their only comfort.
Ah Dai had made substantial progress in this year and a half. After trials of blood and fire, and his own relentless effort, he finally successfully absorbed 10% of the True Qi that the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang entrusted to him. Coupled with his own cultivation, he had now reached the pinnacle of the eighth layer of the Living Rule. The Silver Body in his Dantian had grown to an inch and a half in size. The Solid Battle Aura transformed by the Living Rule had changed from light yellow to light green, such that it now had a mixed yellow-green color, and its power and the range of control had significantly increased. However, over a month ago, his power seemed to have reached a bottleneck and it was difficult to improve any further. He could not absorb the energy from the second Golden Body in his chest. Ah Dai was puzzled but unable to find a solution. He could only helplessly continue training, hoping for a breakthrough one day.
Yan Li frowned and said, "Ah Dai, this female thief is always entangling you, causing so much trouble. The Guild is unlikely to harbor anyone good. It was they who captured the elves in the Elf Forest last time. If it weren’t for them, those elves wouldn’t have died miserably. Why can’t you harden your heart and get rid of her?"
Ah Dai certainly understood the meaning of Yan Li’s words. He sighed, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Yan Li, although she is not a good person and is always trying to kill me, I just can’t bring myself to kill her, every time I see her cold face. I know the members of the Guild are all darkness, but I..."
Yan Li said, "Even if you don’t kill her, you can capture her and ask about the whereabouts of the Elves, instead of us searching everywhere."
Yan Shi solemnly said, "Ah Li, stop it. If I’m not mistaken, the people of the Guild may only be responsible for capturing, handing the elves over to their employer, they probably wouldn’t know their whereabouts. The girl, I think, is a sincere person, or she wouldn’t keep attacking Ah Dai in revenge. As for the abduction of the elves, that’s the issue of the Guild leader, completely driven by high profits. The girl is likely just an executor."
Ah Dai, grateful, looked at Yan Shi. He didn’t want to harm that girl who kept trying to assassinate him in the slightest. Every time he saw her, he felt as if Bing was alive again. In his heart, Bing’s position was even no less than Xuan Yue. He sighed, then coldly said, "The Guild will definitely be the target of my cleansing in the future."
