that oath
Suddenly, the door of a nearby house burst open on its own
and a body came flying out.
That body…
was none other than Hei Tian Zong.
His entire body was charred black.
His soul… had been devoured
by some of Yu Sui's followers
the same beautiful witch,
and the three walking corpses
who always accompanied Yu Sui.
They dropped it right at Mo Yan's feet.
But Mo Yan
he was bound by an oath.
He couldn't move.
His body stood there like a lifeless puppet…
…but his heart…
his heart had already reached Yu Sui.
It was already there....wrapped around him,
holding him silently.
The corpse lying there was Fui Ren,
the advisor who had once been with Lin Chaoyuan in the library.
Yu Sui's eyes shifted.
They found that talisman tied around Mo Yan's forehead.
He saw the invisible spell glowing faintly around it
the binding force that kept Mo Yan from moving,
from choosing love over loyalty.
Before any disciple of Ming Jing Men Sect
could send a message or take action
Mo Yan turned away and began to leave.
But just before turning
he looked at Yu Sui,
tears silently brimming in his eyes.
As if saying:
"If I weren't bound…
You'd already be in my arms."

The disciples rushed back to Shen Jichuan and Master Rong,
reporting everything in stunned voices.
Meanwhile…
Mo Yan returned quietly to his chamber,
carrying the weight of an oath that tore him apart.
