Chapter 226 Resolution (2)
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
When Gu Yangji pulled on the reins, the horse stopped in its tracks and whinnied in annoyance.
But Gu Yangji’s gaze remained fixed, unmoving.

Shaanxi.
Until now, he had believed this was the place he must protect, and that if his body were to be buried, it could only be at Huashan.
But what of it now?
Contrary to his belief, Huashan was not so weak that it needed protecting. Given direction, it possessed the strength to advance on its own.
Burying his own corpse was also an act of arrogance.
Gu Yangjie had seen the one who tended to the dead Dongmun alone.
Jie Shang.
As the sole survivor of the Taishan Sword Sect, he was the old man who polished the tombstone. He always possessed an unstable mind, weeping and laughing as he recalled the past.
If he were to die in such circumstances, another Jisang would surely emerge from the Huashan Sect.
There would surely be someone weeping alone, vowing revenge.
Gu Yangjie had witnessed Baek Dan-hyeon, who had always been gentle-natured, gradually change. There was no guarantee that Zhao Hoon wouldn’t do the same.
No, it was something he might regret for the rest of his life.
He did not want to see Zhao Hun’s face, stained with tears of blood, vowing vengeance.
‘To live…’
He wanted to live and return, to breathe again. He wanted to share with Jo Hoon the many experiences he had never been able to tell him.
