Qianyu quickly grabbed Li Yue and said, "Sister, don't be impulsive. This is all expected!"

"let me go!"

Li Yue pushed Qianyu away and rushed towards the stone gate angrily. Of course she knew that this was the situation she had thought of before, but when she really faced it, how could she remain indifferent?

Those who sacrificed themselves for her were not just random people. They were tribal warriors who followed her through life and death. They also had families and children. They were flesh and blood people. Now, for her, they were dying in pain and torment.

The stone door was locked tightly. Li Yue punched and kicked it desperately, but the door made of Soul-Breaking Stone was so strong that it did not move at all no matter how hard she kicked and hit it.

Li Yue couldn't control herself, and kept thinking about the scene outside. She had been fighting on the battlefield since she was eleven years old, always charging in the front, often risking her life to protect and rescue injured tribesmen.

"what!"

Li Yue shouted loudly, she was the bravest female general of the Jiuli tribe!

"Qianyu!" Li Yue's eyes were red and she screamed madly, "Give me the key!"

Qianyu was in charge of the key to the stone door under Li Yang's order. She was not allowed to open it unless it was absolutely necessary, and she was not allowed to let Li Yue out. She shook her head and said, "I can't give it to you!"

Seeing her sister's determined face, Li Yue knew that her sister would never open the door for her. She was so angry that she raised her pink and white fists and beat on the stone door frantically until it bled. The stone door was covered with blood.

"sister!"

Qianyu couldn't bear it. She had no feelings for the tribesmen outside, but she did have feelings for her sister. Seeing Li Yue abusing herself like this, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

"Sister! Don't be like this!" Qianyu rushed over and hugged Li Yue's waist. "Everyone is doing this for you and for the tribe. You have to hold on!"

Xi Ruo also helped hold one of Li Yue's legs. The little girl could not understand the pain in Li Yue's heart. She only knew that Chen Qingzhou said it was very dangerous outside and asked her and her two sisters to stay in the house and not go out.

Li Yue was dragged by the two men and she could not hurt them with force. She couldn't break free even if she used all her strength. The wailing and screaming outside became louder and louder, and each one was like a sharp knife stabbing into Li Yue's heart.

Li Yue felt as if her body and soul had been hollowed out. She suddenly stopped exerting strength and collapsed, her face ashen.

Qianyu was about to hold her up, but the change happened too quickly and the three of them fell down together in a heap.

Seeing Li Yue fall to the ground, Qianyu rushed over and said, "Sister! Are you okay?"

Li Yue really stopped struggling. She shook her head dejectedly, and two lines of tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

Xiruo saw that Li Yue's eyes were lifeless and she was terrified. She hugged Qianyu's arm and trembled all over. "Sister... Sister, what's wrong?"

Qianyu was also worried, but at this time she could only persuade him, "Sister, I don't want to stop you, but if something happens to you, wouldn't those tribesmen have died in vain?"

Li Yue paused for a moment, looked at her two sisters, and finally sighed, "I understand. I just never thought that one day, I would be so useless that I would need everyone to protect me with their lives."

As he spoke, Li Yue actually unbuttoned his shirt.

Qianyu was startled, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Li Yue shook her head, indicating that it was okay, and continued to unbutton her clothes, with her back facing Qianyu.

The two people behind her looked at Li Yue's snow-white back, and their eyes were red.

Her back was covered with scars, some of which had turned the same color as her normal skin, some were pink, and some still had blood scabs. There were a lot of new and old scars on her back.

Qianyu stretched out her snow-white fingers and gently stroked the scars on her sister's back. She not only felt sorry for her sister, but also resented herself. If she had not left alone that year, she could at least share some of the scars and pain with her sister.

"Sister... I'm sorry..." Qianyu couldn't hold on any longer and burst into tears.

Li Yue put on her clothes and gently hugged Qianyu, "I'm showing you all this not to make you feel sorry for yourself. You can't be blamed for what happened back then. I just want you to understand that I've never been afraid of death over the years. Whether it was a fight with other tribes or a fight with monsters, I was always at the front. I was the only one who saved people and would never allow others to get hurt or sacrifice for me. But now... but now! What's going on? Can you understand how much my heart aches?!"

Qianyu has been loved and cared for by two families since she was a child. Except for the sweat she shed while practicing martial arts under the pressure of her adoptive father, she doesn't even have a single scar on her body. How could she have ever suffered such torture and injury?

So she couldn't understand the pain in Li Yue's heart until she saw the scars all over her back. She could imagine that her sister must have been injured all over her body, including the one on her chin. How devastating it was for a young girl!

"Sister..." Qianyu cried, "Sister, how did you survive these years..."

Li Yue smiled bitterly and stroked Qianyu's hair gently. "I'm not sad. These injuries are nothing compared to parting with you. You don't know how happy I was when I saw you again that day and saw that you were safe and sound and had finally grown up! At that time, I told myself that these injuries were not in vain!"

"Sister!" Qianyu threw herself into Li Yue's arms and burst into tears.

"Woooooooo..."

Xiao Xiruo was also moved to tears by the sisters' deep affection, and her eyes were swollen like peaches.

"what!"

"Uh!"

The screams outside the stone house continued. It had been so long, and I wondered how many of the 2,000 elite guards were left.

Along with the screams, there seemed to be bursts of strange noises, like the sound of a sharp tool rubbing and digging on stone, but no one knew what it was.

Qianyu saw Li Yue trembling all over, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, "Sister! You stay here, I'll go out and kill all those beasts!"

Li Yue immediately grabbed her sister and shook her head frantically, "No! It's too dangerous outside, you can't go!"

Qianyu was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you want to go out just now? Why can't I?"

Li Yue looked at her sister distressedly, "You are still young, you shouldn't have to endure this. If I could, I would die for you without hesitation!"

After hearing this, Qianyu was stunned. For the first time, she deeply felt the greatness of family love.

Qianyu held her sister's hand tightly, "We are sisters. You can sacrifice for me, so why can't I?"

Li Yue shook her head and said, "Don't say unlucky words."

Qianyu stroked Li Yue's face, "Sister, I am going out to kill monsters, not to die. I will be careful, have you forgotten? I am now a Sword Immortal, and my father and senior brother are outside, nothing will happen, don't worry."

"No," Li Yue still disagreed, "It's too chaotic outside, who can guarantee that you won't get hurt?"
