A heavy price to pay
The music got softer, turning soothing. Murong Wuque's breath evened out, and the fire, thunder and metal elements in his left hand disappeared. He exhaled slowly, and opened his eyes. Thick blood clouded his eyes, hiding his irises. His clothes were drenched with sweat, and he slowly stood up on unsteady feet. The moment his feet touched the floor, the golden stone shook. He carefully made his way forward, like he couldn't see what was in front of him. His footsteps left blood prints on the floor, as if his soles were peeled open. He made his way to Alvin, and felt for the bed, then he slowly sat down beside him. It all felt so strange to him. Previously, with his eyes closed, he could still find things as clear as day thanks to his powerful spiritual consciousness. But this time, he didn't just lose his sight, he also lost his ability to form bonds with the environment. His fingers moved lightly on the bed, till it touched Alvin. He followed the lines of his body up, til
life and death cycle (laws of creation)
Strong whooshing sounds filled the room, and a tornado formed around the jade box. The black ring inside it lifted out, defying gravity. Black clouds formed above it, followed by crackles of thunder. Demonic chants began to echo from the stone, alongside a thumbing sound similar to heartbeat. Ancient characters appeared above it, like an invisible hand was writing something mid air. Line after line, words appeared, first black, then purple, then blue, then golden. A little distance away, Murong Wuque’s body kept glowing with the ethereal light, creating a stark contrast with the darkness emanating from the stone. Murong Wuque's fingers holding the water twitched, and blood began to drip down his face. His eyes were bleeding. It felt as if someone stabbed giant needles into his eyes for daring to glimpse into heaven’s secrets and cross the boundaries people shouldn't. His body trembled but he remained steady, controlling his consciousness to keep the rampaging stone in line
Taking the hard path
Three hours before Murong Wuque called Qin Li Watching Alvin’s pulse disappear was like a dagger straight to his heart. He didn't wait. He didn't have time to think. He moved fast. His formation discs appeared, and he set up a soul trapping array, preventing Alvin's consciousness from dissipating. Then came the soul binding array. Murong Wuque felt a sharp stab on his chest, then his spirit sea. His bond with Alvin had cracked, dissipating. Forcefully trying to repair it might lead to Murong Wuque losing his divine emperor cultivation, or ending up with a damaged spiritual consciousness himself. But he didn't stop to consider these. He couldn't. The outline of Alvin's soul appeared above the bed, but it seemed to be asleep…luckily. If his soul was awake, he would be considered truly dead, and ready to cross over. Murong Wuque opened a jade box, revealing a black ring. The most powerful artifact in his possession. The stone of divinity. The stone had numerous abilities. The

He seemed ready for a fight, turning the atmosphere more tense than it already was. “Qin Li, what do you mean? Aren't you going too far?” Shi Qian Ling said, his face contorting into a furious scowl. Shi Meng Ying grabbed his arm, shaking her head at him. Trinity stepped forward first. She removed her ear plugs, digital watch, and phone, placing it into the basket at Qin Li’s feet. She equally unplugged her laptop from the wall socket, and dropped it. Leah looked at Qin Li, her lips trembling. “My brother didn't make it…” Qin Li looked away, ignoring his question. Sam shook his head wryly. Indeed, wealthy people were eccentric. He stepped forward and dropped his ear plug, watch and phone into the basket. Then she looked at Qin Li. “As for my other gadgets, they're in my room.” Shi Yue stepped forward, and dropped hers. Amanda followed. She looked at her phone hesitantly, then at Qin Li. “The rest are in my room.” Martha dipped her hand into her apron, and brought out h
Igniting chaos
Qin Li walked into the villa with heavy steps, his face wrinkled to lines. Most of them had calmed down, just waiting with hints of sorrow. Shi Meng Ling held a pale Shi Yue, patting her back softly. As for Martha she stood aside, not knowing who to comfort. The moment they saw Qin Li, Elena stood up, her eyes reddish. “Young master Qin, how's our boss?” Leah looked up, listless. She didn't know what to say. Her heart felt tight, and numb. Like someone pressed pause on her feelings. Qin Li opened his mouth, and closed it again. Then he sighed. His heavy expression made the situation all the more suspicious. His eyes moved between them. Even Sam was present. He had rushed in after hearing the commotion. Everyone looked so innocent and devastated. How could there be a spy here? How could someone here have anything other than good will towards Alvin. Who was it? Who exactly was it? “Brother Qin…” Oliver prompted again. “Alvin he… well…mmm.” He sighed again. Leah's face
suspended animation?
Leah trembled, her knees going weak. Shi Wei inhaled sharply. While Shi Meng Ying hurried to support Shi Yue. Trinity shook her head, waving her hand before her as if trying to chase away the bad energy. “It's not possible. He's so powerful. How could anyone subdue him?” Leah finally screamed, and Elena's eyes turned misty. “What did you do to my brother?” Murong Wuque stayed silent, not saying a word. “Qin Li, are there other people with you in the room?” “First brother…” Qin Li stuttered. He felt an invisible hand clench around his heart. If this was celestial realm, this could have made sense. But here… this is earth… a planet for mortals. Alvin was one of the strongest. How could it be that easy to hurt him? How could he die? It didn't make sense. Never will. Just last week, he had gone night fishing with Alvin, with him reassuring Qin Li that he was working hard on the portal. In no distant time, he would be able to send them home. How could something like this happen?
