At the very moment Li Hong died.
「In Jinyun Valley.」
Amidst the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, Tributor Li remained seated at his desk, motionless for who knew how long. He looked like skin draped over a skeleton, and even his hair was snow-white—a clear sign that his Heart Power was utterly exhausted.
CRACK!
Just then, a crisp sound echoed through the silent Alchemy Room.
His eyes snapped open, and he looked toward the sound. In an instant, his dull, lifeless eyes turned sinister and terrifying.
There, on the stone platform of the Alchemy Room's altar, a palm-sized Jade Token was instantly covered in cracks.
Right before his eyes, it shattered on the spot, turning to dust.
This was a Life Jade Token the two brothers had found in some ancient ruins. As long as the person lived, the jade would remain intact; if the person died, the jade would be destroyed!
"Xiaohu!!!"
"Hm!?"
