The next moment, a huge wave of red light landed on Mu Yao.

It wasn’t because Mu Yao stopped running, nor was it because the man stopped her.

Instead, it was because the soldiers knew that they could no longer persuade the princess not to send herself to her death.

Therefore, the soldiers had a tacit understanding and approached the spot where the Blood Pupil was shooting out its red light.

It should have taken a few seconds before the light hit them. However, they could not afford to wait any longer and flew toward that direction, sending themselves to sure death.

A wave of red light swept across the group of black shadows and Mu Yao saw it happen right in front of her eyes.

“No! Don’t die! If you die, you will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again!”

The large group of black shadows had used what little soul power they had left to give Mu Yao a chance to live.

The next second, the general shouted, “Your Highness, we can die without regrets!”

“We can die without regrets!”

“We can die without regrets!” The soldiers echoed until the voices ceased at last.

The dark figures of the soldiers vanished before Mu Yao’s eyes without leaving a single trace. In an instant, the black shadows disappeared from the valley.

Mu Yao was dumbfounded. The next second, she felt the man hug her anxiously. “Leave quickly!”

The black shadow door was not far from the both of them and they could easily jump across the door.

However, the Blood Pupil naturally wouldn’t let them off.

No matter how capable the Heavenly God was, he could not cause trouble once the pair left the mystical realm since it did not have a real body and could only rely on its phantom image.

Even in Tianlong, it had to rely on parasites to survive. That was also why it was omnipresent. As long as it had a parasite, such as a mirror, it could use it as a carrier.

However, it was impossible to manage with just a mirror in Tianlong. As such, the Blood Pupil had roped in the sorcerer and priest into his scheme.

The Blood Pupil scoffed. “What a bunch of idiotic souls who don’t know what’s good for them. How dare they fight me? They are simply courting death! Their souls were scattered by my attack so quickly!

Muahaha! They’re so useless! And you two, don’t even dream about leaving my mystical realm!”

The earlier scene replayed in Mu Yao’s head. The thousands of black shadows had simply disappeared in front of her eyes! She had been meaning to save them! That was exactly what she wanted to do. She had even been holding a sword, yet she’d let them die for her.

They yearned to return to the human world and to enter the cycle of reincarnation again. They desperately desired to bring happiness to Tianlong as well!

The words they said before they died echoed in her mind.

“Your Highness, we really want to reincarnate!”

“Your Highness, please save us! Bring us out! Even if we can’t get out, we have to let the people of Tianlong know how we died and tell them the truth!”

There was also the general’s fearless shout, “Your Highness! We can die without regrets!”
