The Crescent Moon Sage was extremely unwilling, but could only watch Hong Yan leave, unable to kill her.
He had been renowned for a long time, though not as famous as his senior brother, the Starry Elder, nor the Sky Path Great Emperor; yet he was still a figure to whom everyone paid respect upon seeing.
A lifetime of glory was ruined by this woman.
His most treasured disciple had fallen as well, now long turned to mere dust.
He had no children throughout his life, only one daughter. His original plan was to wed her to his disciple, but he hadn't had the chance to say so before calamity struck.
It could be said that he treated his disciple as his own child, intending to pass on all his skills and inheritance, yet none of this could come to fruition.
The Crescent Moon Sage turned around and followed his senior brother, the Starry Elder, back to the Vast Ancient Realm. Since their master had spoken, as disciples, they naturally had to obey.
