Ye Feimu smiled sadly as he looked at Meng Hao. The sense of loss within his heart had reached the ultimate level. In order to fulfill his desire to become a Violet Furnace Lord, he had neglected his cultivation, and had spent all of his time stubbornly pursuing the Dao of alchemy.
He had always believed that with enough persistence, his skill in the Dao of alchemy would assure his place as a Violet Furnace Lord. Ye Yuntian had given him this affirmation; even some of the other Violet Furnace Lords had approved.
"Why… why did he have to show up…? Why does the Violet Fate Sect's East Pill Division have to have Ye Feimu AND Fang Mu…?" With a bitter laugh, he staggered backward and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It wasn't that he was unconvinced; the instant he learned that Fang Mu was Grandmaster Pill Cauldron, he knew it all to be correct. He couldn't blame others for supporting Fang Mu. He could only laugh, and bitterly at that.
