At this moment, the two illusory figures, transitioning from shock to reverence, rose and knelt on the ground.
“Your servant Xu Wenxuan, pays respects to our lord!”
“Your servant Li Yunmo, pays respects to our lord.”
Ye Wushuang bent down, intending to help them up, but his hands passed through their intangible forms.
“Lord!”
Xu Wenxuan spoke, “We… have long been dead…”
“Yes…” Li Yunmo continued, “It’s just that before we died, we sealed our last wisp of soul and consciousness within this Soul-Sealing Box, hoping that one day, when our lord returns, he would find us…”
Ye Wushuang looked at their sincere appearances and then smiled, “Alright, alright, rise and speak.”
The two ethereal figures stood up.
“Tell me first, how did you… die…”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s question, Xu Wenxuan and Li Yunmo exchanged glances.
Finally, Xu Wenxuan began, “Lord, everything was arranged when you fell into a deep sleep. We eighteen each had our duties, guarding the Ye clan, waiting for your return.”
“Originally, the major families, knowing you were absent, had their designs, but we eighteen and the Ye clan could manage, it wasn’t a significant issue.”
“But…” Speaking of this, Xu Wenxuan resentfully said, “A force from outside Qingyun Empire interfered.”
“What force?”
“The Heavenly Mechanism Mansion!” Xu Wenxuan immediately replied, “At that time, none of us eighteen knew. This information was… was obtained at the cost of the lives of the brothers Wang Ming and Wang Jing!”
Ye Wushuang’s face darkened, “Wang Ming and Wang Jing… also died…”
Xu Wenxuan continued, “Back then, when the Ye clan was invaded, we eighteen split up, each preparing to lead our people to escape in different directions. Yunmo and I were chased to this place and, in the end, we couldn’t withstand…”
“Perhaps they… are all dead,” Xu Wenxuan said with a sorrowful expression.
“Heavenly Mechanism Mansion!”
Ye Wushuang clenched his fists, vowing, “This grudge, I will remember.”
Xu Wenxuan was a powerful swordsman, and Li Yunmo was a puppet master; both were exceptionally talented and destined for great things.
However, after his ninth Yuan Shen fell into a deep sleep, the Ye clan suffered a catastrophic disaster.
It was clear that the major families of the imperial capital could not have accomplished this on their own.
Behind it all was the meddling of the Heavenly Mechanism Mansion!
They destroyed the Ye clan but did not exterminate it, leaving some clan members alive, extracting their blood essence, and raising them like livestock for their own use!
Despicable!
Hateful!
“Lord, take care of yourself,” Li Yunmo said at this moment, “We are already dead, unable to serve our lord anymore. We hope our lord will take care in this life.”
As these words rang out, the figures of Li Yunmo and Xu Wenxuan became increasingly insubstantial.
Xu Wenxuan hurriedly said, “This chess game was set up by us. Within it, Yunmo left behind a puppet turtle armor he crafted himself, which our lord might find useful now.”
With these words, the figures of Xu Wenxuan and Li Yunmo began to dissipate.
The stone table chess game shimmered, transforming into a soft armor figure that appeared in Ye Wushuang’s hand, which he collected.
The two knelt on the ground once more, looking at Ye Wushuang with reverence, and said, “Lord, we have been graced by your care in the past, and we are grateful. With this parting in this life, our lord must take care.”
After speaking, they bowed deeply to the ground, not rising for a long time, until their figures completely dissipated…
At this moment, Ye Wushuang slowly closed his eyes, exhaled, and two streams of hot tears flowed incessantly.
“You too… take care.”
Ye Wushuang stood in place, unmoving for a long time.
“Ye Wushuang, what’s wrong with you?” A voice suddenly rang out by his ear.
