God Emperor

Many were already questioning the validity of Zhang Ruochens death, and some even questioned Lin Yues identity.

Zhang Ruochen was on thin ice at the moment, and with the slightest mistake, he would be gone forever.

For this reason, he could only kneel from afar, even though his mentor had collapsed in front of him. He wouldnt dare to step closer to his mentors fallen body.

If his identity was exposed, he would either die at the Sword Pavilion, or be taken to the Central City.

He managed to keep his sanity and rationality at this crucial moment, suppressing his emotion by telling himself constantly not to be emotionally driven when things fell apart.

If he was being impulsive, he would disappoint his mentors lifelong protection, and all of his effort would have been in vain.

“Whats the matter, Lin Yue?”

Mu Jiji and Xun Hualiu, who were at the back, rushed to his sides, helping him to get back on his feet.

Meanwhile, Moon-Burier Sword Saint took a sideways glance at Zhang Ruochen with a strangely intent look on his face.

Zhang Ruochen kept his gaze on the ground, so the others would not notice his dilated blood vessels and the tearstains in his eyes. He placed his right palm on his wound, which now had a scab freshly forming, which he tore off. “Nothing. The sword injury caused by the Immortal Vampire was hurting again,” he explained further.

Mu Jiji got more worried when he saw blood oozing out from Zhang Ruochens thigh. “Elder brother, you shouldnt be standing when you have such a deep wound. Instead, you should focus on your recovery.”

Moon-Burier Sword Saint did not notice that Zhang Ruochen actually knelt on his own, but since he was distracted by the sudden death of Sword Saint Xuanji. he thought it was the injury that had caused him to fall on his knees.
