Chapter 1229: Sparrow Behind? (Big Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"I would never... tell you..."

Wistain curled his lips, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

In the darkness, the starlight connecting Heaven and Earth flickered—spreading from the outer reaches inward, shattering bit by bit. Behind He Ao, the corpse of the "Wistain" who'd been fighting him all this time began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wistain lifted his head and hesitated. He fixed his gaze on He Ao as though he wanted to ask something, but couldn't bring himself to speak. His lips parted slightly, words lingering at the edge of his mouth.

"You want to ask—how I knew the one fighting me wasn't your real body? How I figured out your real body was hiding far away?"

He Ao smiled at him and softly asked.

Wistain's eyes widened, his head trembling slightly as if he wanted to nod. His gaze brimmed with a mix of excitement and disbelief that He Ao would voluntarily reveal this. A flicker of hope flashed in his expression.
