Battle Through the Heavens: Return to the Peak

"Master." On the cliff's edge beneath the darkening sky, the young man in black called out softly. The evening breeze stirred his black clothes, and an unbearable pain lingered in his eyes.

"Yes," replied a young man in white. His long silver hair and red eyes stood out against his flowing robes. He gazed at the setting sun without turning around.

Today was a special day: the day master and disciple would part. Xiao Yan had never imagined that, even after surviving the Soul Clan's pursuit and reaching the peak, he would still be powerless to stop them from separating. For some unknown reason, Yao Lao's Dou Qi had been steadily dissipating for the past three years. Unlike Xiao Yan, Yao Lao could no longer cultivate. For him, the day his Dou Qi ran out would be the day he and his disciple parted ways. And that day had finally come.

Though Xiao Yan had reached the Dou Di level, he was powerless to keep Yao Lao from leaving. He never expected that after waking from a night of drinking, he would return to the moment they first met. In this life, I won't get involved with Cai Lin or Xun'er again. I'll stay by your side and protect you. I won't let the Soul Hall hurt you, and I won't let the ending of my last life happen again. This time, I'll be the one to protect you.
