Xu Qing did not deceive Zuo Zixiong after all.
Indeed, in the Underworld River, there is someone who holds a grudge against the current Emperor. If Zuo Zixiong could subdue him today, the Dayong dynasty might survive a few more years.
Unfortunately, Zuo Zixiong missed his last chance to directly confront the greatest 'traitor' of the Jin Sect.
Otherwise, there might have been one more corpse inside the Bone Temple today.
Xu Qing had long anticipated that a person of such integrity would not easily turn against a friend or someone who had shown him kindness.
Even knowing that the other party might harbor hostility towards the Imperial Court he was loyal to, Zuo Zixiong would not choose to clash with weapons unless it was the final moment.
"A fine horse will suffer most when born at the wrong time..."
Xu Qing manipulated the Paperman to bury Zuo Zixiong's coffin in the desolate grave where the Transition Coffin lay.
