753 The Smell of Osmanthus

Xu Qing fell silent. He knew the source of Kong Xianglong's loneliness and bleakness.

After hearing the analysis from his master in the forbidden land, Xu Qing also had similar feelings in his heart. The Palace Master, the County Governor, and even the entire Fenghai County, were all just pawns in a greater scheme.

The Palace Master clearly understood all of this before he went to the battle and died.

However, throughout his life, he wielded his sword with unwavering loyalty to the human race, traversing through eventful years. Therefore, the Palace Master had no regrets sacrificing himself for the sake of the human race.

The only thing he was worried about was his homeland, his grandson, and the young warriors under his command. Therefore, after deducing certain things, he chose to sacrifice himself in order to do everything possible, without jeopardizing the overall situation, to save Fenghai County.
