Because of the oil, the wood quickly caught fire and blazed fiercely.
The civilians who came to watch couldn't help but sob uncontrollably.
The fire burned for several hours, leaving only human-shaped ashes behind.
Pei Wendong could barely open his eyes, crawling on his knees to collect Pei Qin's ashes.
"Wait! What is that!?" A monk who had come of his own accord stopped Pei Wendong, pointing to something in the skull.
"Is that a relic!?"
"It really is a relic!?"
"It's General Pei's relic! It's the relic of the Nine Heavens' Lady!"
A so-called relic, bright and lustrous, was discovered among the ashes of Pei Qin's skull.
Relics are only found in highly accomplished monks, the embodiment of meritorious deeds. The greater the merit, the more translucent and larger the relic.
And Pei Qin's relic instantly caused all the civilians to weep for the Nine Heavens' Lady.
