Chapter 155: A Tragic Farewell

However, even if someone stepped forward, they didn’t know who to target.

After all, in Wanyan Aguda’s arms was a demon.

Would they dare act against their former Young Manor Master for the sake of a demon?

Even though Wanyan Xinyi was no longer the Young Manor Master, he had held that position for many years and it wasn’t something that could be forgotten or ignored easily.

"Shiyuan."

As Bai He calling him out, Ye Shiyuan then stepped forward and casting a spell at Wanyan Aguda.

In an instant, the connection between Wanyan Aguda and the cat demon was severed.

It’s clean, Swift and Suffocatingly effective.

The cat demon never imagined that Ye Shiyuan’s power could be so strong.

Truly, by now, Ye Shiyuan had few equals.

What level of skill did this cat demon possess?

The expression in Wanyan Aguda’s eyes dissipated in an instant.

He furrowed his brow and released the cat demon from his embrace.

Then, after he slowly standing upright and fully aware again, he realized what he had done and that he had once intended to kill his own son.

He lowered his gaze in disbelief at his own hands, murmuring: "How... how could this happen?"

Wanyan Xinyi rushed to his father’s side and supporting him: "Father, how are you feeling now?"

"Xinyi? What have I done... your mother, she..." His beloved wife, once so dear, was now separated from him by life and death.

"Father, it’s not your fault. It’s all because of her."

"Because of me? Wanyan Aguda, if you hadn’t been taken by my beauty, how could you have brought me into the manor? Now your wife’s death is being blamed on me?" The cat demon ground her teeth and retorted.

Wanyan Aguda shouted in anger: "You lie! You lie! It was my wife’s compassion that made me save you. I had no intention of saving you initially."

"Wasn’t it you who saved me? Not you?"

For a moment, the cat demon grew agitated.

She could not believe what she had done.

If it had not been Wanyan Aguda who saved her, but his wife, had she harmed the one who had actually saved her?

"Of course it wasn’t me. It was my wife’s kindness that made me rescue you." Wanyan Aguda whose supported by Wanyan Xinyi might have already collapsed if left to stand alone.

Because of another woman, he had driven his most beloved wife to death in anger.

Under such a crushing blow, how could Wanyan Aguda possibly accept it?

Wanyan Xinyi’s expression was equally complex.

Of course, he had once blamed his father, but knowing that his father had actually been controlled by the cat demon, his hatred was not as intense.

"Impossible... impossible."

The cat demon stepped back several paces, her expression highly agitated.

She even revealed her full form and her spiritual energy struggling to remain under control.

Ye Shiyuan immediately cast a binding spell, freezing her in place and leaving her utterly immobile.

"Young Manor Master, the actions of this cat demon can be left to your judgment," Bai He said calmly, not intending to personally escort her to the Lingguang Sect.

What a troublesome.

A demon that destroyed someone else’s family was truly despicable and she had even caused the death of her benefactor.

Even Bai He felt his patience waning as he listened.

"Little beauty, Lingguang Sect has a Demon Cave. Take her there. I’ve heard that any demon or devil entering the cave must endure despair at every moment. I want her to live in eternal hopelessness."

Simply killing her would be far too merciful.

Bai He raised an eyebrow at Ye Shiyuan.

Ye Shiyuan immediately understood and retrieved the cat demon.

A demon sent to the Demon Cave might as well be dead.

This farce was temporarily over.

Bai He handed the Nuwa Stone over to Jurchen Manor.

Although he wanted it, it ultimately belonged to others and taking it without permission would have been inappropriate.

Wanyan Aguda’s face remained dark, the gray and exhausted expression in his eyes deeply concerning.

"I can give you the Nuwa Stone. I don’t want your Tree’s Coreflame."

That generous?

Bai He remained cautious.

In this world, there was no such thing as a free lunch, there must be some hidden condition.

Sure enough, Wanyan Aguda continued: "In the future, if Jurchen Manor ever needs your help, I hope you won’t hold back in lending your assistance."

Bai He blinked his eyes in slight surprise: "Alright."

It wasn’t much, but somehow Bai He felt that Wanyan Aguda’s words carried deeper meaning, almost like a farewell or final testament, leaving him uneasy in his heart.

"Xinyi, do you hear me? In the future, when you take over Jurchen Manor, don’t forget this."

"Father."

"My wife is alone. If I don’t catch up to her now, she certainly won’t wait for me. I apologize for suddenly entrusting everything to you."

Wanyan Aguda then bit down on the poison hidden in his mouth.

The poison took effect instantly and black blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.

Bai He was shocked.

His earlier instincts had been correct Wanyan Aguda was truly decisive.

To follow his deceased wife... he would actually take his own life with poison.

"Father, why are you doing this? Mother never blamed you. Until her last moment, she believed you had no control over your actions."

"She was wonderful. She wouldn’t blame me, but I cannot forgive myself."

Wanyan Aguda looked straight ahead as if seeing his wife once more.

A peaceful smile then spread across his face.

He raised his hand and finally, it slowly fell.

Wanyan Aguda was dead I’m completely unexpected way.

Bai He stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to believe that things had turned out this way.

"Master, we should leave now."

"Shiyuan, I feel like... maybe I was wrong."

If Bai He hadn’t come here, if he hadn’t asked for the Nuwa Stone, perhaps Wanyan Aguda wouldn’t have died.

"Master, this isn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself," Ye Shiyuan said, his voice gentle with concern as he slowly took Bai He’s hand. "Master, let’s go out first."
