“L, what’s wrong?”


    Fiona’s nervous little face turned pale as she asked in a hushed voice.


    L shook his head. “It’s nothing, don’t be afraid.”


    They probably hadn’t left the underground area of Dragon Burial Peak yet when L suddenly felt a presence. It was simr to the one he had felt before with the giant eyes, but even more unsettling.


    “It seems that there are still secrets buried beneath Dragon Burial Peak! But there’s no chance to explore it now. One day, I wille back!” L thought to himself, suppressing his curiosity and fear, and continued forward with Fiona.


    After two incense sticks’ worth of time…


    As L traversed the underground, he suddenly felt a soft resistance. He knew that it was a barrier!


    L gathered his energy and distance, then fiercely punched the barrier, breaking it open. He quickly pulled Fiona and escaped, smashing countless rocks along the way, until they reached the mountainside.


    At this moment, L and Fiona spotted a figure approaching them rapidly. “L, there’s someone!” Fiona eximed, startled.


    “Don’t be afraid, they’re our allies,” L reassured her, squeezing her hand. The neer was Vinnie, the Elder Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect. He had been alert to the surrounding area’s fluctuations and had hurried over to assist when he sensed L breaking the barrier.


    Seeing Vinnie, L breathed a sigh of relief, and Vinnie also showed a hint of gratitude. Although Vinnie had taken Nora away from the Broken Pulse Sect, L had not emerged at all, which left him with a sense of unease.


    He even considered charging into the Broken Pulse Sect to save L at all costs.


    After all, L was the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon-the hope for the Sun Moon Sect’s resurgence.


    “Let’s go!” Vinnie said as he saw L emerge. However, it was not the time for exnations; he quickly took L and Fiona, and the three of them hurriedly fled, not daring to linger there.


    It seemed as if Vinnie feared that the top experts of the Broken Pulse Sect, disregarding the Orderwarden’s threat, would try everything to keep L there. “The remnant” of the Sun Moon Sect, Vinnie had taken Nora away.


    Despite the possibility that someone like Ernie might not be willing to risk it, if they knew that L had escaped, they might be desperate enough to ignore the Orderwarden and keep L.


    After finally escaping amid the rapid run, L, led by Vinnie’s towering figure, asked the most burning question on his mind. “Elder, what about Nora?”


    “Don’t worry, I have ced Nora in a cave. We’ll go there now and take her far away,” Vinnie said in a deep voice.


    Upon hearing this, L was finally certain that Nora had indeed been taken away from the Broken Pulse Sect.


    Yet, he was also somewhat dissatisfied. “Elder, how could you leave my daughter in the cave alone? What if something happens? Why didn’t you take her with you?”


    In L’s mind, Vinnie should have been protecting his daughter at all times.


    Leaving her elsewhere made him uneasy.


    “I’ve set up a small barrier in the cave, so it’s safe for Nora. It’s impossible for anyone else to enter,” Vinnie exined. His tone grew colder as he continued, “Young master, it’s not that I don’t want to protect Nora personally.


    But when I hurried over, I came with the intention of risking everything. I’m not sure if the disturbance caused by you breaking through the barrier means that you sessfully escaped or if it will attract the top experts of the Broken Pulse Sect.”


    Vinnie briefly exined and then stopped. L probably understood his meaning.


    As he listened, L’s heart trembled, and he looked at Vinnie with a sense of guilt and shame. His concern had caused him to misunderstand Vinnie.


    “Elder, I’m sorry! Your kindness is deeply appreciated, and I, L, will remember it in my heart! From now on, I will stand and fall with the Sun Moon Sect, together in life and in death. The glory and resurgence of the Sun Moon Sect will also be my lifelong goal!”


    L’s voice choked slightly as he spoke, his tone extremely serious and solemn.


    In the past, after experiencing betrayal by udia and his daughter’s severe illness, L’s personality had be progressively cold and indifferent.


    The only person he truly cared about was his daughter, Nora.


    Everyone else, including the initial Miranda, was of no consequence to L.


    Only after the numerous life-and-death experiences with Miranda, especially when he discovered that Miranda had taken a risk with her own soul to help him deal with the penitent monk Vanaro in the Nest of Malevolence, did he finally regard her as someone he would sacrifice his life to protect.


    The words “if you live for three years, I will have another child with you. If you die, I will bury you in the same grave!” seemed to echo constantly in his ears. And today…


    Samantha had sacrificed herself to help him, and Fiona had almost suffered the same fate.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Vinnie hade with the intention of helping him escape from the Broken Pulse Sect with a willingness to die for him.


    Including the previous Summer, who had been killed by the Elder of the Wicked Bone in order to protect Nora, whose soul still lingered in the blood jade.


    L suddenly realized that, unknowingly, he owed many people a great deal…


    His heart, which had be cold and indifferent, was touched time and time again.


    “Summer, Samantha! I, L, swear, I will avenge you!”


    “The Elder of the Wicked Bone won’t live much longer!”


    “One day, the Broken Pulse Sect will bury you, Samantha!”


    “I will remember your kindness in my heart! From now on, I will stand and fall with the Sun Moon Sect!”


    L silently made a solemn vow in his heart, his unwavering determination evident in his cold and resolute eyes.
