Chapter 1014: Just A Bit
His hand… grasped at nothing but air…
“Hao’er!!” Bai Xiaochun’s consciousness began to rise up frorief!
His eyes snapped open to see… nothing The twenty-two-colored fla with it
Only a tiny wisp of the fire remained, a spark, the last trace of Bai Hao that remained in the world As it fell onto the back of Bai Xiaochun’s hand, it burned hi a small mark
Bai Xiaochun shivered, his hand frozen in h he had not been able to see Bai Hao’s final moments clearly, he could sense that his apprentice was now no round beneath his feet, as ined could exist overwhelmed him
It wasn’t that Bai Xiaochun had never experienced the death of a friend or loved one But this was different Bai Hao’s passing filled his mind with a deep, deathly stillness…
It was a grief the likes of which led, not to screa of tears…
He thought back to the first tiht back to the ht back to how they had relied on each other to survive in the Wildlands…
From now on, Bai Hao, I’m your Master!
Hao’er, how do you think Master did this time around!?
Hahaha!! Don’t worry, your Master has a lot of experience with this kind of thing
As the h his head, he shivered uncontrollably He still couldn’t pull his hand back, and in fact, rab hold of Bai Hao He refused to believe that his apprentice had truly perished…
“Hao’er…” he an to weep, the sound of which echoed out with the rief and pain possible…
“Why? Why are people always fighting and killing each other…? Why do people have to die…? Why…? I forever, isn’t it…? Why…?”
As he ed in his tears and grief, he couldn’t help but ask the same questions he had wondered about from the moment he started down the path of cultivation Tireeaker and weaker
He only had the tiniest scrap of life force left in hirief that was not the type that could be expunged witha cold wind that extinguished the last spark of warmth left inside of hi and everything…
In the moment before the tempest sealed away his life itself, Bai Xiaochun looked up at the gravekeeper, and within his gaze… was profound grief and… hatred!
By now, he understood that, whether it was Du Lingfei or Bai Hao, the person responsible for how everything had turned out… was the gravekeeper…
He didn’t knohy the gravekeeper had done all these things, but it didn’t ive hi that had never before appeared, or even existed within hio-lucky person, with a simple heart And yet, all of that was now overwhelmed by the hatred, locked away and sealed within his ravekeeper saw the hatred, and could sense the life force in Bai Xiaochun withering like an unblooravekeeper sat there in the cruhed
Had it been possible, he would never have let Bai Hao perish But not even he could save Bai Hao’s soul after it becaht have been able to secretly feed a bit of life force into him in the end… but even he wasn’t sure if that would have done anything
