Exactly ten minutes after Gu Fan left another pile of corpses, the sound of soft, incredibly light and precise footsteps echoed in the silent hollow.
A young man stepped out from the behind the trees dressed in his signature immaculate, flowing white robes that seemed entirely untouched by the dirt and grime of the forest.
It was Gu Chen, The Golden Boy of the Gu Clan. And the protagonist who should have claimed it all.
Gu Chen stepped into the centre of the rocky hollow, and His gaze instantly locked onto the carnage scattered across the ground.
In front of him there were two piles of ashes that had almost blown away with the wind.
Then there was a brain-splattered corpse near the boulder, and a naked, dead body lying near the bushes.
Gu Chen frowned, and his hand reached out for the hilt of his sword. He walked over to the faceless corpse and inspected the dark green robes.
