But even such a silly question caused General Thunder to lose his composure for a moment.

"Still alive..." The general looked up and turned to walk towards the edge of the shrine.

Standing at the edge of the shrine, the lights of the distant islands are clearly visible.

"If he were still alive, he might see the Eye Hunting Order end, and he might see everything get better."

"This is something he has always hoped for."

As the general spoke, a slight smile appeared on his cold and resolute face.

He said that everyone deserves a better life and everyone has the right to have aspirations.

"And my wish is that he can see all of this with his own eyes."

Even if it costs everything.

...

Xuan Donglin helped Mu Xian stumble down from the shrine.

Facing the general's imposing presence, even the meticulous members of the Final Squad found their steps unusually disordered.

Even so, Xuan Donglin held onto Mu Xian tightly until they tripped over tree roots in the road in their haste.

Xuan Donglin and Mu Xian, whom he was supporting, both fell to the ground. Whether it was intentional or accidental, Xuan Donglin's body cushioned Mu Xian's fall.

The weight of the fall caused Xuan Donglin to groan, and then he turned Mu Xian's body over.

Xuan Donglin looked at Mu Xian, who was still unconscious, for an unknown amount of time.

"stand up."

Xuan Donglin spoke, but Mu Xian remained the same as before.

"I told you to get up!"

The voice suddenly rang out, but it only startled a few crows that landed nearby.

Looking at the unconscious Mu Xian, Xuan Dong and Lin Qin spoke with a questioning tone.

Why weren't you like this during the final episode?

"Didn't you say you wouldn't fall until the very last moment?"

"Once you fall, you will never be my teacher, and you will always be a traitor to the Last Order!"

"What right do you have to fall?"

"Why..."

The kunai was taken out, but Xuan Donglinqin stuck it into the ground not far from Mu Xian.

"asshole!"

The flat ground was instantly pierced by the kunai, leaving a dent in the ground, along with the wet ground not far away.

As the wind blew by, Xuan Donglin realized something and quickly recovered.

Xuan Donglin pulled the kunai from his hand and, after waiting for a long time, stabbed it fiercely into Mu Xian's chest.

But the kunai was quickly knocked away, and Zaoyou used a smaller two-handed greatsword to block Xuan Donglin's path.

"You are not allowed to hurt the teacher!"

Her usually lazy and somewhat timid face was now full of anger, and even her voice carried a hint of murderous intent.

Looking at Zaoyou, who was glaring at him with a fierce expression, Xuan Donglin snorted disdainfully, completely different from before.

"Hmph, he's a traitor to the Final Saga, and you still want to protect him?"

"He is not a traitor, he is my teacher."

Zaoyou persisted, then looked at the unconscious Mu Xian, and glared fiercely at Xuan Donglin Qin: "What did you do to the teacher?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Xuan Donglin said impatiently, "Anyway, he's about to die."

The word "death" had a tremendous impact on Zaoyou. She was stunned at first, and then gritted her teeth.

"You killed the teacher."

With that, Zaoyou was about to charge at Xuan Donglin with her small two-handed sword: "I want to avenge my teacher."

However, just as he finished speaking, Mu Xian managed to break free from the Divine Cherry Tree.

Upon opening his eyes, Mu Xian immediately used the Evil Eye to mobilize the power of the fire element.

The manipulation of fire element caused the surrounding temperature to rise suddenly, and the abnormal temperature attracted the attention of Zaoyou and Xuan Donglin.

"teacher?!"

Zaoyou turned around and saw that Mu Xian had woken up. She rushed over and hugged Mu Xian.

Mu Xian's first thought was to push Zao You away, but his previous memories made him stop himself.

Mu Xian was held in Zao You's arms, and Zao You's voice still carried a hint of reluctance: "Teacher, Zao You knew you wouldn't die like this."

"Tsk, it's really ugly."

Xuan Donglin turned his head away, but quickly turned it back.

She looked at Mu Xian, her words devoid of any respect: "Tell me, how did you get beaten unconscious by the General like a joke?"

"I slapped you across the face several times, but I couldn't wake you up."

"If this is all you're capable of, then don't call yourself my teacher anymore."

Xuan Donglin's words were barbed, and his look of disgust was exactly the same as Mu Xian's memory.

However, Mu Xian did not pay attention to the meanness in Xuan Dong Lin Qin's words, and looked at Xuan Dong Lin Qin with a complicated expression.

"Little Elegant".

"Don't call me Little Baidai."

As if provoked, Xuan Donglin Qin spoke up: "You're not..."

"You were the one who saved me from General Thunder, weren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Donglin suddenly stopped.

She looked at Mu Xian, but her gaze met Mu Xian's.

In this eye contact, Mu Xian was not the loser after all; Xuan Dong and Lin Qin looked away even faster than Mu Xian.

"Do not misunderstand."

As if to cover something up, Xuan Donglin even forgot to use his usual harsh tone: "I just think that it would be a desecration for the entire Dashe if someone like you died on the Dashe."

Chapter 73 The Wicked Witch's Arrogance

"I just think that someone like you dying on the altar would be a desecration of the entire altar."

Xuan Donglin's words were just like those arrogant and vicious supporting characters in light novels, whose only purpose was to highlight the protagonist's difference from others.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Mu Xian didn't notice the shrine maiden's constantly evasive gaze.

Seeing Xiaobaidai, who always had a bad attitude towards everyone, with such an expression, Mu Xian could sense that she was a little guilty.

What are you feeling guilty about?

Mu Xian wasn't sure, but she felt that she should know something.

For example, how could the power of the Divine Cherry Tree suddenly disappear?

Mu Xian had a feeling that this matter was definitely related to General Lei Dian.

"Little Baidai, you should know what General Thunder is going to do, right?"

"What does this have to do with you? You're no longer a member of the Last Shogunate, and what the shogunate is like now has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Xuan Donglin said, his words never straying from the final chapter. Even Zaoyou, who was standing next to him, could hear the resentment in Xuan Donglin's words.

Perhaps also harboring doubts about Mu Xian's secret departure from the final chapter, Zao You also looked up at Mu Xian.

Noticing Zaoyou's gaze, Mu Xian deliberately turned his head to the side.

“Ayato Kamisato wants to get rid of me, so of course I won’t stay in the final episode.”

By saying this, Mu Xian explained why he left the final chapter.

As for what happened back then, Mu Xian only felt annoyed if he really talked about it.

"Hmph." Xuan Donglin snorted coldly, his voice noticeably lower than before: "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

That's what he said, but Xuan Donglin didn't press further and instead fell silent.

She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before revealing a piece of information.

"The general... borrowed the power of the Divine Cherry Tree."

—Borrow it?

Mu Xian touched the small mechanism in his pocket, and roughly knew what the word "borrow" really meant.

Mu Xian remained silent, listening to Xuan Donglin Qin continue speaking.

"I don't know what the general is trying to do, but the ley lines in Inazuma have become abnormal because they have lost the power of the Divine Cherry Tree to regulate them."

"Even monsters have been affected by the ley lines and have become unusually active."

Mu Xian witnessed the rioting demons with his own eyes and knew that Xuan Donglin Qin was not lying.

Anyway, this general had done this tormenting his own people more than once, so Mu Xian wasn't too surprised.

Mu Xian looked down at what he was holding in his hand.

This is the hilt of that sword, but now only the hilt remains. The previous elemental overload caused the blade to shatter completely.

The moment the general appeared, Mu Xian sensed the murderous intent emanating from her.

—It was his own struggle with her for the power of the Divine Cherry Tree that gave rise to his murderous intent.

As Mu Xian pondered, another figure from the castle tower came to mind.
