บท 1338: A Commemorative Memorial

Hao Xuan could sense the urgency in the Emperor's voice even without the help of any other ability, which made him falter.

'How desperate must he be to sound so- No, it doesn't matter. I can't leave them behind-'

[You are not abandoning them]

"Of course you can read my thoughts. This changes nothing."

Hao Xuan made up his mind and strode towards the portal with confidence. Jin Wang also followed behind him, "Somethings are meant to be, old friend," he whispered.

The Emperor's light hummed weakly, [They certainly are. No matter how many times I try, this part never changes...]

Jin Wang's brow furrowed as the Emperor's words dug into his brain like a parasitic worm and he began to hesitate, slowly coming to a halt.

Hao Xuan stopped in front of the portal upon sensing the changes in his demeanor and turned to face him, "I need your help, come with me. I can't do this alone."

His strength would be invaluable in the upcoming battle and Hao Xuan knew that better than most.
