The Eminence in Shadow

“Lin'an, I'm sorry. The truth is, I had my reasons!”

“Xie, you little brat, surrender and become my slave! Hand over the Book of Boundless Heaven, and I'll be generous enough to spare your life!”

“Old Demon Xie, did you ever imagine this day would come? Today, I'll take back the Book of Boundless Heaven and avenge my parents!”

Xie Lin'an wore a tattered dark green robe, his hair disheveled and his body drenched in blood as he looked around.

The mountain wind whipped his battle robe, making it flutter and crack like a war banner.

Dark red blood gushed from his wounds, soon pooling across the ground.

Surrounded by enemies, he was already at the end of his strength. Today, he was certain to die.

He had been betrayed by the person he trusted most, Ling Xueyue, who had stabbed him at the very height of the battle!

The heroes surrounding him were either mighty legion commanders of noble standing or young champions renowned far and wide.
