Chapter 459 Luo Chu's Death

No one expected it to turn out this way.

Previously, when Luo Chu was in the Crimson Desert Formation, he and Lu Shiqing even attacked their own people.

But now he has chosen to stand up, sacrifice himself, and save them all.

This change evoked very complex emotions in everyone.

As Luo Chu's senior brothers, Wen Xuan and Feng Heyun naturally did not want to see him die.

Ke Luochu shook his head.

“There is no other solution. Someone needs to be the core of the array, and that person must be me. I am an array cultivator, and only I know how to be the true core of the array.” He said each word carefully.

"This is not only to save you, but also to completely destroy this formation."

Shen Sanruo doesn't even know the details of this formation, so naturally she can't be the key to it.

Moreover, he came here to protect her, and even if she knew that, he would never let her be the key to the formation.

Luo Chu's voice also betrayed his distress. If one could live, who would willingly choose to die?
Given the current situation, he has no choice.

He had done many foolish things before, mistakenly trusting Bai Mumu and causing a lot of trouble. This was perhaps his karmic retribution.

Luo Chu looked at Shen Sangruo, his eyes filled with deep reluctance, yet he still managed a smile.

"See, I told you, having a formation master like me along will always be useful."

"I know you won't forgive us, and I don't expect you to forgive me either."

"Now that you are determined to thwart the evil cultivators' conspiracy, if my death can destroy this final formation and relieve your great worry, then I will have died a worthy death."

"Consider it my atonement for my past actions."

As Luo Chu's lips opened and closed, his connection with the formation grew stronger and stronger, and he would soon become the true core of the formation.

It would be impossible for Shen Sangri not to be moved upon hearing Luo Chu's words.

Luo Chu stopped being immersed in his own world, thought everything through, and after getting to know her again without any preconceived notions, he did indeed understand her a lot more.

Knowing that his method of atonement was the most useful to Shen Sangruo, rather than some self-indulgent act, touched her heart.

Although it was only a slight ripple, like a gentle breeze on the water, it was enough for Luo Chu.

In Luo Chu's eyes, she saw endless guilt and remorse, as well as relief at finally atoning for her sins.

“I am very grateful that you made this choice at this moment. I accept your apology, and our previous grievances are wiped clean.”

"But that's all. I've made it very clear. From now on, you and I are just strangers." Shen Sangruo said solemnly and earnestly to Luo Chu.

Some things have already happened and cannot be changed no matter what.

"Good." Luo Chu's smile widened. He was quite satisfied with the result. "At least we're not enemies anymore."

"However, I have one more request."

Luo Chu took a deep breath, her eyes already red. "I hope the one who 'ruined' me is you, as repayment for the punishments you took for me before. I owe you all of this."

At this point, Luo Chu's voice became strained.

"Only when you kill me can my conscience be at peace, and only then can I truly atone for my sins."

"I have become the core of the formation. Quickly, attack me!" Luo Chu gritted her teeth to keep the tears from falling.

His resolve to die was absolutely firm.

At this moment, Shen Sangruo's mind had returned to calm, and she held the feather fan in her hand, transforming it into a sharp blade.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised her hand and plunged a knife into Luo Chu's left chest. "Shen Sangruo, I'm sorry."

For everything he had done for her.

The moment the feather pierced Luo Chu's heart, the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator erupted within him. Since Luo Chu had no intention of resisting, he lost his life almost instantly.

She went to such lengths to reduce Luo Chu's suffering.

Consider this the last time, out of respect for their past relationship, she and he would have nothing to do with each other from now on.

Her expression remained unchanged as she deftly withdrew her feather fan and responded softly, "Mm."

The distorted and collapsed space returned to normal, and the last formation was truly broken at this moment.

Shen Sangluo's strike did not draw blood; she used her spiritual power to seal the blood.

So much so that when Luo Chu fell to the ground, it was as if he had simply fainted or fallen asleep.

No one spoke; the atmosphere was as oppressive as a lingering dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads.

The moment Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan saw Luo Chu fall to the ground, they felt as if their hearts were being squeezed, experiencing an indescribable pain.

Wen Xuan walked tremblingly to Luo Chu's body, his voice choked with sobs, and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, Second Senior Brother will bring your body back to Feiyun Sect intact."

Another layer of magic was cast to keep Luo Chu's corpse in its original state before storing it in a spatial artifact.

Spatial artifacts cannot enter living beings, but Luo Chu's corpse can be stored inside.

After Wen Xuan collected Luo Chu's body, Shen Sangruo said, "Hurry up and leave this place."

They had more important matters to attend to. The evil creature had escaped, and they didn't know the situation outside the barrier. They had to leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, if something happens to the elders outside the barrier, there will be no one to help them or tear open the barrier for them, and they will have to find a way to leave the barrier.

That possibility is probably not that high.

The urgency of the situation caused everyone to overlook something: Qi Yan and Qing Shu had come with Shen Sangruo.

Qing Shu is in its complete form, and Qi Yan is in its semi-complete form. Together they are one and a half of the Five Divine Beasts, so they should be able to deal with that evil creature.

The group quickly arrived at the barrier. Shen Sangruo contacted the people outside the barrier and received a response, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the barrier was torn open, and they quickly passed through the gap.

Those outside the barrier appeared perfectly normal. Apart from the elders of several sects, including the Heavenly Sword Sect, the people who went to Fengyue Lingxu to break the formation, along with Qingluan Fairy, had been waiting outside the barrier for a long time.

Ancient Virtuous Lord and others from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits were also among those who came to meet them.

During the time it took to break the Luo Nanchuan formation, the formations of Fengyue Lingxu and Wu Anjian were also broken one after another.

The progress of breaking this formation was given special attention, so many people waited outside.

Besides them, there were also Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen.

Nearly two months after Feng Heyun and the other two disappeared, they inquired about Shen Sangruo's whereabouts and learned that the three of them had also entered the barrier.

So they found a reason to come here and wait.

It took seven months and eight months respectively to break the formations of Fengyue Lingxu and Wu'anjian.

Although Ye Huai and the others who entered the former's crack were all seriously injured, fortunately no one lost their lives.

During the more than seven months of waiting for Shen Sangruo and the others to come out, he had fully recovered.

Today's update is here! Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets, recommendations, reading, and favorites! Thank you so much!
Regarding Luo Chu's death, it's not so much a whitewashing, but rather a way of making use of him, to give his death a little more meaning. Sang Ruo will never forgive him. Compared to others, his crime was actually relatively minor. Different degrees of crime warrant different degrees of death, so only his "sentence" was slightly better. Unscrupulous authors still prefer the idea that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and different degrees of evil will correspond to different "retributions."
