Chapter 723: The Imperial Decree Arrives in the Snow

(TN: Way of Choices will be on break from December 25th, 2017 – January 7, 2018)

Zhou Tong crawled and struggled his way through the snow, the coughs from his throat ultimately transforming into a sobbing cry.

"Save me…somebody save me…"

His earlier cries of misery and lamentation had truthfully been somewhat faked. However, as he moved from the underground Zhou Prison to the small courtyard which basked in sunlight and then to the avenue covered in cold snow, he had been constantly escaping, constantly pursuing hope, yet he was disappointed again and again. Finally, he began to feel despair, his will collapsing like a flood bursting through a dam.

He sobbed in pain, his tears washing away some of the blood on his face before being frozen by the cold wind into an unsightly paste on his face.

His sobs were as unpleasant to hear as the screeching of an owl.
