The Untamed Series 1: Untold Secrets

Chapter 26

Third Person POV

Lanling Jin Sect

Inside the depths of a dense forest, Jin Guangyao found himself running, desperately seeking refuge amidst the chaos.

His heart raced as he stumbled upon a majestic waterfall, his eyes widening in shock as he saw a familiar figure standing near the cascading water.

It was Yu Wuxian, the one he believed to be dead.

A sinister smile spread across Wuxian's face, sending a chill down Jin Guangyao's spine.

In the blink of an eye, the figure vanished, leaving Jin Guangyao shaken and questioning his own sanity.

How could the Yiling Patriarch still be alive?

Fear propelled him forward, his feet carrying him deeper into the forest.

Suddenly, someone appeared before him, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

It was an unknown cultivator, and in his desperation, Jin Guangyao pleaded for help.

"Please, I beg of you, help me!" Jin Guangyao's voice trembled with desperation as he reached out to the unknown cultivator.

His eyes widened with a glimmer of hope as he recognized the figure before him as XiChen.

"Lan-er gongzi..." Jin Guangyao muttered, his voice filled with a mix of relief and fear.

XiChen's gaze pierced through Jin Guangyao, his eyes devoid of any warmth or compassion.

The air grew heavy with tension as Jin Guangyao continued to plead, his voice trembling with remorse and desperation, each word a painful admission of guilt.

"When my beloved begged for your mercy, did you grant him that reprieve?" XiChen's voice sliced through the silence, filled with icy disdain that sent shivers down Jin Guangyao's spine.

"Tell me, should I help you? Should I aid the one who took my wife's life?" With each step XiChen took towards him, Jin Guangyao's fear escalated, causing him to stumble backward, his heart pounding in his chest, as he watched XiChen approach with an icy glare.

With each step XiChen took towards him, Jin Guangyao's fear intensified, causing him to stumble backward, his heart pounding in his chest.

The realization that he stood before the man whose life he had shattered filled him with a deep sense of regret and sorrow.

Trembling, Jin Guangyao fell to his knees, his voice filled with desperation. "Please, XiChen, I beg for your mercy. I know I have committed unspeakable acts, but I am willing to dedicate my life to making amends. Spare me, and I will do everything in my power to right the wrongs I have caused."

XiChen's expression remained unyielding, his face a mask of cold resolve. His eyes, once filled with warmth, now burned with a mix of anger and sorrow. "Your words hold little meaning to me, Jin Guangyao. The pain you have inflicted upon us cannot be undone with mere words. The life you took from us can never be returned."

With each step XiChen took closer, Jin Guangyao's fear escalated, his mind racing for an escape that seemed impossible. The consequences of his actions loomed over him, casting a dark shadow that he could not evade.

"Please, XiChen," Jin Guangyao pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. "I beg of you, spare my life. I will do anything to make things right."

XiChen's response was chilling, his words dripping with coldness. "Is that so? Then prove your sincerity... by taking your own life," XiChen hissed, his voice laced with venomous contempt.
