Chapter 185 Resolution (1)
‘Damn bastards.’
Gu Yangjeok, his face twisted in fury, lifted Ma Yi with both hands.
No matter how much of an enemy he was, no matter how much he tried to deceive him, he couldn’t just leave a dead man lying there.
What a worthless life.
Gu Yangjeok found himself unconsciously recalling the last words Ma Yi had left behind.
They were words that reminded him of his past life as a blood dog, and they were also words that only someone like Ma Yi—who had spent his entire life dreaming of betrayal and intrigue—could have uttered.
He didn’t know what Ma Yi might have done had he seized the power of Plum Blossom Valley, but it was something he’d never achieve now.
“I suppose I’ll have to bury him.”
Gu Yangji muttered to himself as he stepped out of the brain prison. The Taoist guarding the entrance watched him and turned pale.
“Wh-what is this…?”
“We were attacked.”
The Taoist was about to say that no one else had entered or exited besides Gu Yangjie.
But the bitter expression on Gu Yangjie’s face made him hesitate to ask.
Above all, the grotesque wounds—not from stabbing, but from some bizarre sorcery—made the Taoist’s tongue go numb.
Gu Yangjie glanced at the Taoist’s expression and stepped forward.
“Then I’ll take my leave.”
He hadn’t expected the Taoist to believe him outright. Thinking coldly, suspicion was only natural.
Warriors who had experienced sorcery could be counted on one hand across the entire Central Plains.
