Zhang Jue knew that White Horse would not survive a fall from such high and steep ground. Plus, he had seriously injured the man.
Phew!
Neil also breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he knelt on the ground and shouted toward the sky. "Father, I've avenged you. Now, you can rest in peace."
He continued to cry as he shouted those sentences.
Chester had played a big part in Neil's life since he was only a kid; the father and son shared a tight and close-knit bond.
Zhang Jue did not try to console Neil. Instead, he stood by Neil's and watched the scene quietly.
After a moment of grief, Neil gradually calmed and left with Zhang Jue.
So...
Somewhere down below the cliff...
As White Horse was plummeting toward the ground, he listened to the whistling of the wind in his ear in despair.
'I'm doomed. I thought I would be famous in the cultivator's world after getting my hands on the Sky Breaking Axe. I did not expect it to end like this.'
Thump!
Finally, White Horse landed on the ground; he had broken a few tree branches sticking out on the cliff slope.
In the blink of an eye, it was already nighttime.
White Horse opened his eyes slowly; he gasped for breath as severe pain shot through his entire body. He was grateful for the tree branches that broke his fall. Otherwise, he would probably die from his injuries.
Enlivened by the fact that he was still alive, White Horse stood up and looked around the area. His condition meant that he could not fly up the cliff; he could only thread his way through the valley.
White Horse stopped after walking for some time. He did not know how long it had been; he was still in shock.
Then, he came to a cave. It was dark and damp; it was pretty gloomy.
'What is this place?'
\White Horse frowned, reluctant to step into the cave, but there was no way ahead. Finally, he decided to bite the bullet—he entered the cave and began exploring.
Oh, no!
