Xu Zhenyan stared at this pomegranate tree for a long time. At the time, Xu Tianwang precisely ate a bitter pomegranate seed in front of him and then ruthlessly sent him out to Jadefall City. After he was wounded by Wenren Cangyue’s troops, he experienced many nightmare filled nights, he even dreamed of the brain matter-like slightly white, slightly red under ripe pomegranate juices trickling out from the corners of Xu Tianwang’s lips.

At that time, he only felt fear. However, when he saw this pomegranate tree now, there was a bit of gloominess and coldness that was hard to detect. There were some things within his mind that he instead thought through even more clearly.
