Chapter 234 Huashan (2)
As Gu Yangji left Huashan, he recalled the events of a month prior.
It was a battle he could never win.
Having just defeated Jiaogang River, the consecutive battles had left him physically drained and mentally exhausted.
So he had no choice but to resort to a trick.
In a brief moment, he revisited every memory he had experienced.
The involuntary regression, saving Ha Jin-ak, battling Palma, and the time spent breathing with various martial artists.
Within that, Gu Yangjeok found the answer. Of course, he wasn’t without fear.
‘What if I fail?’
He might be torn apart midway, drifting eternally in yet another world.
A world completely unrelated to the Huashan Sect, or perhaps an entirely different timeline.
That hesitation was inevitable for Gu Yangjeok. The plan to turn his power against him was sound, but certainty eluded him.
After all, compared to the monster, hadn’t Ha Jin-ak only recently begun to harness the power of the spirit?
If it failed, he would have to live in eternal solitude. He might even die a violent death if things went wrong during the return.
He was wrestling with this conflict when he thought, perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to simply die now and sleep among his many acquaintances.
“Go your own way.”
Yu Zhangming’s lips, which had seemed to have stopped breathing, moved slightly. His breath was faint, his lips pale, yet the resolve in his eyes was unshakable.
“I have failed until now. But you are not me. To continue agonizing and fretting like this is no different from the path I walked.”
