The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 325: [Bonus Chapter] Trigger

Cough!

Splash!

In a large room underneath the ground in some part of the Sacred Mountain, a beautiful young man in a beautiful snow-white robe and a gentle-looking young woman dressed in priestess robes has suddenly coughed out blood at the same time, before being followed by a painful grunt.

"... W-What is that???"

After the torturous pain disappeared, a pale face and sweaty Lin Renshu and overwhelmed presence had suddenly burst out before spreading the entire place causing the steady clear water in the yin yang pool to sway chaotically.

As the splash of water sounded out, an inhuman roar full of unwillingness and endless resentment resounded out in a deafeningly loud voice, which had caused the scene of the two people coughing out blood.

And after the sudden situation, Lin Renshu watched with wide eyes at the unusually dangerous-looking floating orbs that had suddenly appeared out of thin air and started to surround the pale-faced young man in a snow-white robe.

The unusual orbs seemed to be brimming in an endless amount of negative emotions, as bloody red and black mist chaotically swayed around it.

Even the temperature in the entire large secret place underneath the Sacred Mountain has dropped to a freezing level.

At the same time, causing everyone who laid their eyes upon the dangerous floating orbs to feel breathless, just like there are ruthless hands violently squeezing their hearts out.

Basically, when the purification is about to be completed, an unexpected situation has occurred.

Although everyone already considered for any sudden trouble to occur during the process, the three of them are still caught off guard at the sudden dangerous burst of dark power along with the appearance of those dangerous floating orbs.

"... Ah that person hates and resentment is simply immeasurable who would have thought that there is a hidden trap being activated when everything is almost over?"

Before the curse can be completely dealt with, there is the last trap that needs to be passed or else every one's life would be in grave danger.

Such a desperate last struggle and laid a trap at the end completely showed how proficient and talented the person who made the curse is 

If it was anyone else dealing with the powerful curse, after the exhaustion from using the special power, there is no denying that there is a high chance that other people would have been unable to handle the sudden burst of power at the end of the purification.

Basically, death.

And the most amazing thing was that those deaths would be used to slowly nourish the curse that was almost dealt with until it can return to its full power.

If Jiayi had to put a rank into how powerful the spell caster's special power is, it is surprisingly just underneath a High Priestess in full power.

"We are a bit in a bind If I wasn't injured I would have noticed the hidden danger and also been able to deal with it easier"

The extremely pale face Jiayi showed a grim expression as the pain in her chest continued to grow stronger and torturous after using her special power despite the backlash of performing a taboo.

"...What do I need to do?"

Even surrounded by the eerie glowing robs, Shao Cheng calmly wipes the bloodstain over his pale lip while the pair of sapphire pupils assess their unusual situation.

At the same time, he didn't hesitate to ask the young Jiayi's opinion even though his purple aura is more special and powerful than what she has.

After all, he understands that regarding the special power, he is only a beginner in the end while the young Jiayi had been trained at a young age.

"... Do you know what those dangerous-looking orbs that are floating around you, right now?"

Although Jiayi felt pain from using her special power after being severely hurt from the backlash, there is extreme relief that flashes in her pair of purple pupils even after witnessing those mysterious dangerous orbs surrounding the pale-faced young man in a snow-white robe.

As for where the relief came from, just as Jiayi had spoken before, if it was another person being surrounded and targeted by the hidden danger of the extremely powerful curse, that person would have died.

And then the last spell defense would come at them, completely eradicating all the people that wanted to deal and remove the curse.

Fortunately, they have the person with the most special and honorable aura in the entire Chang Empire with them in the purification process. 

Although it sounds cruel, however, as long as the young man in a snow-white robe is alive, their life would not be put in grave danger.

Or else, even Jiayi as the next high priestess had a high chance of dying since she wasn't in full power when dealing such an extremely powerful spell.

"Souls"

Shao Cheng narrowed his eyes at the surrounding floating orbs around him, and one word instantly came to his mind.

Especially when he felt the familiar connection or feeling during the time when he was a mere spirit roaming around the Chang Imperial Palace after his death when looking at it.

"Yes, the souls of the special people that the spell caster of the curse had sacrificed in order for a powerful spell to last until the target bloodline ended. Honestly, I have never seen such an extremely heinous curse Young man, one of your parents sure had gotten an unbelievably powerful enemy"

Only a few people can handle the souls and one has to be powerful and talented enough to do it.

Should I feel fortunate that person has died and wasn't part of her generation? After all, even she would be in great trouble when dealing with such a person, especially when it is from the neighboring Empire?

The longer Jiayi gazes upon those floating orbs filled with endless resentment after being tortured to death, completely unable to forget what they experience at the end of their lives and unable to reincarnate made her expression turned grimmer.

How vengeful  How ruthless and How cruel that person is 

"This is a last desperate act before completely removing the powerful curse. If we want to deal with these souls bound by the curse, we have to follow the set of rules and conditions put in place."

Jiayi turned a complicated look toward the pale-faced young man that was the cause of the entire curse. At the same time, wondering what his identity is since just from everything that happened, this person definitely had a deep connection to the neighboring Empire.

"The rules and conditions that I caught a glimpse of are extremely cruel. The spell caster definitely wanted you to live in a pang of endless guilt if the curse ended up being removed. Do you know what the requirement is?"

Jiayi let out a sigh while trying not to cough out blood once again, at the same time, feeling fortunate again that a certain person is the one that needed to deal with the requirement to finish the purification process of the powerful curse.

"Life for a life. In order to continue living, you have to sacrifice the lives of others."

I wonder if the spell caster set the requirement for this young man's parents to deal with since some people can sacrifice the lives of others for their own selfishness. Especially when it comes to their own life.

And Jiayi could already tell that this young man is the type of person that can sacrifice the lives of others, so such a requirement shouldn't have been made for him to handle.

"Life for life?"

Shao Cheng, listening to the words of the young Jiayi instantly understood what they needed to do in order to completely end the curse.

And the spell caster should have similar psychology of certain people, 'If I can't get you, then no one else is allowed.' or 'Even if you want to live, you have to bear the burden and consequences of your own choice.'.

Basically, it's the usual 'I won't let you live in comfort and happiness!'.

And when Shao Cheng counted the floating orbs around him, he could only sigh at how ruthless the spell caster was since from the look of it, one sacrificial life isn't enough.

Nonetheless, that person would have never thought or considered that someone else is willing to help deal with the curse and take it for themselves instead of the targeted person.

Particularly a person who has a ruthless and heartless heart that can sacrifice a person's life without feeling burden.

"... 30 sacrifices."

"Yes."

Jiayi closes her eyes before letting out a deep sigh while Lin Renshu who has been listening for the entire time hasn't spoken a single word and Shao Cheng felt a headache because the young man's identity is getting mysterious and dangerous.

Little Cai why did you have to fall for the dangerous and troublesome person?

"I would not feel anything if 30 people died, Lin Renshu can you handle it?"

No matter how the situation is, this burden is meant for you to experience and take responsibility for.

"... Young Master Cheng, I'm sure you already know that I am also not a good person."

Without hesitation, Lin Renshu's lip raises in the familiar gentle smile despite the extremely pale and sweaty face while paranoid emotion flashes in his eyes after a certain young figure flashes in his mind.

"If their lives can give me even the slightest possibility of being able to stay by Little Cai's side, then, I won't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the others. Of course, Young Master Cheng needed to be safe too or else Little Cai would hate me and I couldn't bear such consequences."

"..."

Damn, you are so daring even at this time, you had the courage to mention my younger brother
