I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"Oh? No?" Huang Quan came back to his senses and said in a low voice.

"Hehe! I know what you're thinking. We've been walking for so long and we still haven't reached the exit. Anyone would be suspicious."

Huang Quan wasn't surprised at all that Jue Yi had seen through his thoughts. On the contrary, he felt that Jue Yi's reputation as a powerful expert would be somewhat undeserved if Jue Yi hadn't discovered it.

"Yes, I am suspicious, but only half-suspicious."

Upon hearing Huang Quan's answer, Jue Yi was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Hehe... what a half-doubtful one. Then what is your other half?"

“I don’t think you’ll just keep dragging this on. I have a feeling you’re actually in a hurry, but something seems to be holding you back. Even though it’s pitch black here, if there’s a passage, there must be an exit…”

"It's just that I either didn't find it, or you didn't let me find it. Since that's the case, I can only choose to be skeptical."

"So you really don't believe my father..." Zhang Ye frowned slightly, her dissatisfaction with Huang Quan, which she had been harboring all along, resurfaced.

Throughout the journey, Huang Quan had been constantly doubting this and that, which made her, who regarded Jue Yi as an insurmountable mountain, quite dislike Huang Quan.

"Ye'er! It's alright... He's right!" But he still chose to suppress Zhang Ye's doubts about Huang Quan. Because he knew in his heart that Huang Quan's doubts were correct.

"What? Father... Sigh!" Hearing Jueyi's words, Zhang Ye didn't know what to say. He turned his head away and fell silent.

As for this young lady who was already in charge of a branch of the family, when she really threw a tantrum, Jueyi could only smile wryly.

Getting back to the point, what Huang Quan said and thought was not wrong. Although it was pitch black here, even Zhang Ye, who had the lowest cultivation level, had very strong visibility. So they could naturally see some things and sense some things as well.

Along the way, Huang Quan, with a sense of doubt, actually used some things to make marks.

Those are fragments! Very small fragments, fragments of a sword.

Squeak! Squeak!

It turned out that at the foot of the Yellow Springs lay a fragment of a sword, its soft creaking echoing in the quiet place. It turned out they had been going in circles all along; Jueyi hadn't even headed towards the exit.

But what is his purpose?

This is one of the problems Huang Quan is currently thinking about.

Faced with Huang Quan's questioning gaze, Jue Yi did not answer immediately, but instead asked several extremely strange questions.

Do you know the name of this cemetery?

"I don't know," Huang Quan shook his head.

"Heh, this place is called the Land of the End. Do you know... why it's called the Land of the End?"

"Hmm?" Huang Quan murmured softly. Clearly, he was also unsure of what the powerful figure in front of him was up to. But this only heightened his alertness considerably.

Ignoring Huang Quan's changes, Jue Yi's gaze swept over the area, a sigh escaping his lips: "For the people of the Emperor Sword Clan, the Land of the End is a source of glory. Every member of the Emperor Sword Clan will dedicate their entire lives to obtaining this supreme honor by entering the Land of the End after death..."

"Therefore, in the Emperor Sword Clan, the Land of the End represents the glory of the deceased in life..." As he spoke, Jue Yi's tone also revealed a sense of respect for the ancient powerhouses of the Emperor Sword Clan.

"But over the years, only the highest-ranking leaders of the Emperor Sword Clan have been able to enter this place after death, and when the second-generation patriarch of the Emperor Sword Clan built this place, he also constructed an extraordinary road..."

"On that road, regardless of rank, as long as a person can find their own path, they can go wherever they want through that road. And the road we are walking now is that... road to the end."

"Wait a minute..." Upon hearing this, Huang Quan seemed to understand something and was greatly surprised. He quickly asked, "Do you mean that there is actually no way out here?"

"Hehe! You can say it that way, or you can say it differently?" Jue Yi smiled, neither denying nor admitting it.

"How to say?"

"Even the phoenix can rise from the ashes! What's a mere path compared to this? On this path, we will all have our own way, whether it be light or darkness, it depends on our hearts..."

At this moment, Jueyi paused again, giving Huang Quan a deep look before continuing, "Anyway, I've brought you this way out, but whether you can get out depends on the individual..."

"Of course, if you haven't found your own path by the time your power is exhausted, then you'll only have to assimilate into this darkness..."

Jue Yi uttered these last words, and although he spoke them very calmly, they gave Huang Quan an unprecedented sense of crisis!

"The Road to the End?" Huang Quan murmured. His gaze went directly into the depths of this dark road.

But all that was before them was darkness, like a gigantic beast with its gaping, bloody maw, waiting for its prey to fall into the endless darkness.

"There must be some way, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so calm and composed!" Huang Quan thought for a moment, and when he saw Jue Yi's expression of no pressure, he had a doubt.

"Hehe! You overestimate me." Jue Yi chuckled and shook his head.

"Why then?"

"You need to understand that being anxious won't help with many things," he said, fixing his gaze on Zhang Ye with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"There are so many things on my path. Although these things sometimes make me feel suffocated, they also give me feelings that ordinary people cannot feel without my noticing."

"A feeling that ordinary people... cannot feel?" Upon hearing Jueyi's last words, Huang Quan pondered for a moment, while he himself entered a state of emptiness and tranquility.

To be honest, Huang Quan also has a feeling that ordinary people cannot feel, and that is his soul.

However, his special nature doesn't seem to be the feeling Jueyi described, so the reason he was led to Kongming by Jueyi's words is also the reason he is looking for the answer to this question.

So, what exactly is it?

Seeing Huang Quan deep in thought, Jue Yi did not disturb him. Just as he was thinking, if Huang Quan could not get out of this path to the end, it would inevitably affect his acquisition of the Emperor Sword, which was not what he wanted to see. So he would help Huang Quan as much as he could now, because for him, helping Huang Quan was the same as helping himself.

Jueyi was quite clear in his mind that even though this Path of the End was built by the second-generation clan leader himself, he could not possibly leave his descendants no way to survive.

Because it is impossible for all the clan leaders of each generation to pass through here and reach the final resting place.

There must be something else going on here.

Unfortunately, this question is probably only answered by the successive patriarchs of the Imperial Sword Clan when they change positions!

"Let's go!" Jueyi glanced at Huang Quan again and slowly spoke.

"Aren't we going to wait for him?" Zhang Ye asked with a hint of doubt upon hearing Jue Yi's words.

"It's not that we don't want to wait, it's that there's no need to wait. He will meet us in the future, it's just not now..." After the flowers fell, Jueyi started walking forward.

"What about the Emperor Sword?" At this moment, Zhang Ye frowned as he watched Jue Yi walk away, still unsure of what was going on, and suddenly asked.

This question caused Jueyi to pause slightly, but only for a moment, before a voice came over, sounding as if he didn't care about who owned the Emperor Sword.

"Let's store it with him for now!"

"Hmm? Oh! I understand." Although Zhang Ye still didn't understand Jueyi's thoughts, as Jueyi's daughter, he also felt that Jueyi must have his reasons for doing so.

So she didn't ask any more questions, but followed Jueyi's footsteps and walked slowly together toward the darkest place, ignoring Huang Quan who was still standing there in a daze.

That's right, there are reasons why Jueyi did this.

He understood that on this path to the end, as the Heavenly Lord, he naturally knew more about strategy than Huang Quan. However, Huang Quan was also quite shrewd in his dealings with others and in his consideration of details, as evidenced by the fact that the Emperor Sword was still in his hands.

He originally intended to coerce or bribe the young man directly, but he found that these methods were of no advantage to the young man in front of him. On the contrary, they might even anger him and cause him to perish together with the Emperor Sword, which was something he certainly did not want to see.

However, after spending these days together, he understood what kind of person Huang Quan was. Therefore, he had already decided to guide Huang Quan on this path to the end, so that Huang Quan's cultivation could be further improved. In this way, given Huang Quan's grateful nature, he would eventually find him and hand over the Emperor Sword to him.

Whether Huang Quan has the ability to comprehend it is not something he cares about.

But in reality, he was taking a gamble. If Huang Quan succeeded, everyone would be happy, but if Huang Quan failed... then it would prove that he was indeed not destined for the Emperor Sword.

Gradually, the father and daughter walked further and further away, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Shortly after they left the Yellow Springs, Jue Yi slowly stopped in a place so dark that he looked ahead, his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy.

But after a moment of shifting, his gaze finally settled on clarity, and then without the slightest hesitation, he took another slow step forward!

Just then, a sudden change occurred. A white halo appeared beneath his feet, instantly enveloping Jue Yi and the unaware Zhang Ye within it!

At this moment, Jueyi's expression was quite calm, as if he had known all along, and they eventually disappeared into the darkness.

Finally, the darkness returned to calm, and the white halo seemed to have never appeared at all, which seemed somewhat inexplicably eerie.

Chapter 210 The Last Road

The road to the end, the place where the Yellow Springs reside.

He looked around, his brows furrowed, and finally let out a long sigh that gradually spread into the darkness.

"They've left? What a pity! It seems my state of emptiness didn't lead me to that path..."

"Oh dear! This is troublesome. But this darkness... something feels off to me."

"Never mind..." Huang Quan shook his head and muttered to himself, "Let's try going in a different direction than the original plan first! Maybe... we'll find something..."

But just as he was about to take that first step in his own way, some of the things that Jueyi had said to him earlier suddenly came to mind...

"A different feeling..."

"Can I only leave this place by finding my own path?"

Huang Quan fell silent, but it wasn't long before he came to his senses, and the resolute look in his eyes deepened.

"But even so, if I don't take the first step, nobody knows what the final outcome will be..."

Having finished speaking, Huang Quan took a step forward.

Yes, no matter what a person does, they always have to take the first step. If they are not even willing to take the first step, how can they know what lies ahead? How can they know how far hope is from them? And how can they know whether the outcome will be good or bad?

But people are often misled by the step they take and are unwilling to take that step, but they don't realize that in the end, they still have to complete and walk the path of life on their own... How can they escape it?

One step, two steps, three steps...

Huang Quan continued walking into the depths of darkness.

"It hurts so much..." Huang Quan muttered to himself. He could feel his strength slowly draining away, but there was nothing he could do. It seemed that in this place, there was only consumption and no recovery.

Huang Quan tried many methods to conserve his strength, but the result was always the same: failure, failure, and more failure...

Even so, he never gave up!

This was his belief, and even if it meant death, he would continue to follow this path he had chosen, telling himself that he had to finish it.

If you can get out, you will live; if you can't, you will die!

It is this belief.

He had encountered the same situation and despair when he was in the evil world before. It was the same path that belonged to him, but Xiao Huangquan helped him that time, so he was fortunate enough to survive.

However, he understands even more clearly that in this world, there can't always be someone to help him, and he still has to rely on himself for everything.

Even if it's truly impossible...

At that moment, Huang Quan seemed to have lost all his strength. With a thud, his body suddenly collapsed into the darkness.

"Why...why is this happening? Could it be...that I still can't...can't go on? Why? This darkness...why can't I get out of it?" Huang Quan's fragmented words echoed on the dark road.

He seemed to be asking himself, or perhaps more accurately, the road itself. Now, the despair he felt at the moment of his death echoed in his heart once more.
