After hearing her story, Xiao Yun's gaze shifted slightly: "The monster you mentioned, what exactly is it...?"
"An assassin from another world," Elder Dai replied calmly. "In this world, there exist Chosen Ones. Being chosen means enduring endless trials, and thus these assassins exist."
It's confirmed!
Xiao Yun suppressed her excitement before asking again: "Why are you helping us?"
Elder Dai smiled faintly: "Because I want to bring it to an end, once and for all."
The group froze.
She continued, "I devoured that person's remnants of a soul. Some things are lingering in my soul. If I can't end it completely, I don't know when it might drag me into chaos."
Guangling Hermit spoke slowly: "Then why are you only showing up now? A hundred years ago, we had already reached out to various factions, hoping to gain some support when it mattered most."
