Deeply feeling that death was looming and thinking only of staying alive, Nie Jinliang carefully recounted everything he knew.
The general meaning was that, unwilling to accept defeat, this Empress wanted to make one last effort before the people from Yuning Mountain arrived, to see if she could, by her own strength alone,解除 the seal on Wulai Mountain and thus monopolize the Blue Sea Ruins.
If nothing unexpected happened, Wulai Mountain would be opened to the public tomorrow, letting the local cultivators of the Youdu Snow Region enter first.
In the end, Nie Jinliang pleaded, "M-my lord, that's all I know, I've hidden nothing. Please raise your hand high and spare this little one's life."
After standing up, Chen Yang clasped his hands behind his back, walked straight downstairs, and said blandly, "Truth is, if I hadn't been soft-hearted back then, there wouldn't be this Empress today."
"Naturally, Zhiqing wouldn't have been taken either."
Tap tap tap.
