The fall of the Black Demon Sect Leader did not bring me any sense of relief. Ye Wuhen's sacrifice weighed upon my heart like a massive boulder. When we returned to the Wu Family, hero's cheers greeted us. Wu Mengli held my hand; her fingers were somewhat cool, yet the warmth of her palm transmitted strength to me.
The main hall of the Wu Family, usually solemn and dignified, was adorned with festive lanterns and brimming with joy today. The elders had gathered together, their faces radiating smiles. I even spotted Elder Li, who was ordinarily devoid of a smile, carrying a hint of imperceptible delight at this moment.
"Kong Chen, Wu Mengli, you did exceptionally well!" The Great Elder's resonant voice echoed throughout the hall. "Not only did you shatter the conspiracy of the Black Demon Sect, but you also eliminated a major hazard for our Wu Family. Your contributions are indelible!"
