The lone wolf stayed on his side and kept howling, as if it was begging for the heaven’s for mercy
Perhaps, the heaven would answer its plea
All of a sudden, the black rusty dagger quivered and a strange power stirred from within An indescribable force sucked Xuanyuan’s spirit towards the dagger He was startled but before he could react, his body no longer felt weightless
Opening his eyes, Xuanyuan looked up and saw the depressing grey sky It was foggy He suddenly felt a pounding headache, followed by nuht his brain was about to explode from all of the information
