Liu Yang was sorry for not having been able to save the lives of Lian Jin and her parents.

This was very painful for him.

His heart felt like it had been cut by a million swords.

The pain he felt wasn't physical, but it was huge and something he would never forget in his life.

Tears of sadness and desolation began to fall from his two lifeless eyes.

(Why am I still training? Even in the Core Formation Stage, I couldn't even save my three neighbors... Or am I too weak and won't be able to save anyone but myself? Or because they weren't cultivators and did they have to die?) Liu Yang's mind was being bombarded by many questions about cultivation and today's world.

Unable to find the answers he wanted, Liu Yang passed out on the floor beside the bodies of the small family.
