The candlelight flickered, and light and shadow flickered.
The weak and helpless widow sat on the bed. Her face was bleak and she was all alone.
There was a person slowly approaching her.
His face was changing in the flickering candlelight.
His figure projected a tall and dark silhouette on the wall.
It was like a demon coming out of the darkness.
He let out a creepy laugh that made people tremble in fear.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph …"
The Original Sealer of Jin Ling City opened his claws again.
"Scream, scream, scream as much as you want."
He whispered, "Wei Xihe, who came to save you, went crazy, went to prison, and even lost his sacred sword. Wei Wangshu not only abandoned you for the sake of his brother's safety, but also chose to cooperate with me and agreed to my conditions. The Martial Arts Hall did not ask about your whereabouts, and the power that can be directly mobilized in the palace is extremely limited. Even the unyielding Investigator Bao Xiren, who is famous for his integrity, also chose to compromise."
Sun Lang approached Shen Yaohua and laughed strangely, "No one cares about your whereabouts, no one cares about what happened to you. Even if they cut their throats, they can't save you …"
Shen Yaohua said calmly, "I won't say anything."
Sun Lang stopped his movements and shook his head. The fire in the room lit up by itself, illuminating everything in the room. He looked at Shen Yaohua who was close at hand and said calmly, "Why?"
The woman stubbornly turned her head to the side and chose to remain silent.
Sun Lang sighed.
He stretched out his hand, and a chair flew in the air and landed in front of him. General Shentse sat on it and looked at the widow sitting opposite him, trying to make his words as gentle and calm as possible.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. This is the law of the world that cannot be changed. Even if we have the magical weapons of the Imperial Army, it is still difficult to break the barrier between life and death. Otherwise, in the past dynasties, no one has broken the limit of lifespan, even if they stand at the top of the human race."
"Not to mention bringing the dead back to life … I can tell you responsibly that it is completely impossible."
He pinched his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I am not lying to you, really. Even if the person who made the promise to you is a magical life form that does not belong to this world, even if it has many magical powers and secret techniques, it can't do this … because I have also looked through its memory. Even with the history, technology, power, and power of the Sky Demon, it can't bring the dead back to the world of the living."
He paused for a moment and then said softly, "If I could, I would have done it myself."
Shen Yaohua's eyes rippled for the first time. She turned her beautiful eyes and looked deeply at Sun Lang. She said, "You can't do it, but that doesn't mean that person can't."
Sun Lang raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Don't you understand what I am saying?
It is completely impossible … "
Shen Yaohua said stubbornly, "Even if there is only a trace of possibility, I still have to try. This is all the motivation that supports me to live. Otherwise, I might as well just die."
Sun Lang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He didn't want to vent his anger on the woman in front of him. "I will repeat it again. No, it is completely impossible!"
Shen Yaohua didn't get angry, nor did she become impatient. Her face was still calm, and there was no trace of anger in her voice. She only asked in a normal tone, "How do you know it is not possible?"
Sun Lang's voice became louder. "Of course I know it is not possible!
I have already said that I had a spiritual confrontation with him in the battle of the Great Barren Mountain, and understood all his memories … "
The wife whispered, "Then why don't you know what he is going to do now?"
"Of course, that is because …"
When Sun Lang said this, he suddenly shut his mouth.
His face changed slightly, and then he seemed to think of something. Suspicion and thought appeared in his eyes. For a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, but the fact was still hidden in layers of fog, making him unable to see clearly for a while … That might be a very, very important thing.
Yes, why don't I know what the ancestor, The Devil, wants to do?
Memory was a sphere, divided into inside and outside, with thickness, a core, and an outer layer.
The outer layer of memory was trivial, useless, unstable, easy to forget, easy to tamper with.
And the core memory was the most core spiritual wealth preserved by this life, and even directly participated in the structure of one's three views of character. It was the source of its power, and the foundation of the logic of a life's behavior.
At the beginning of the bloody battle of the Great Barren Mountain, he encountered a surprise attack by the ancestor, The Devil. The attack came from the holy sword in his hand, and a huge spiritual power directly attacked his soul from the Earth Holy Sword. The Sword of Suppressing Star was not only the magical weapon he trusted, but also a good teacher and friend who had accompanied him for six years. At that time, the Commander Of War, Jia Ying, did not have a trace of defense at all … No warrior would guard against their own Imperial Army.
Then a lot of things happened.
The flow of time in the spiritual world was different from that in the physical world, and it was even more so for people who were deeply trapped in it. That memory was unforgettable. In the void space of the spiritual body, all the sensory emotions were infinitely magnified. Shock, fear, grief, anger, confusion … All kinds of emotions attacked Sun Lang's soul in turn. He was almost swallowed up, but after all, he made it through. The unforgettable pain and hatred.
It started with passive defense and then counterattack.
With fury and hatred as fuel, he drove the roaring soul and waved the sharp sword condensed by the spirit. He broke through the other party's sea of memories, layer by layer. He saw the long history of the Sky Demon in the extraterritorial realm, the great battles that The Devil Ancestor had experienced, their homeland, their achievements, their race, their culture, their skills, from the outside to the inside, the unimportant memories, the important memories.
And the most important memories.
He "saw" the secret conversation between The Devil and Li Guangyuan, and also understood the truth. The careful teaching of the ancestor, The Devil Ancestor, was for a perfect body, and the imperial court did not hesitate to cultivate it for the emperor's unspeakable plan. From the beginning to the end, in the eyes of these people, he, a pitiful time-traveler, was just an ant that could be manipulated at will. It was like this when he first time-traveled, and it was still like this after he made achievements.
This was the ultimate sin.
It was not just betrayal.
They wantonly manipulated the lives of others, trampled on their dignity, and played with their fates.
Such people were undoubtedly the most evil villains.
But the problem was …
Sun Lang suddenly shouted, "Ping Yang!"
There was no response from outside.
General Shentse suddenly sneered and said, "You don't have to sneak back and then pretend that you heard my shout and rushed here. I know you are eavesdropping …"
A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Ping Yang awkwardly poked her head in. She said rather shyly, "Master, I was on guard for you … Your skill is really high. I obviously held my breath and even blocked the sound of my heartbeat, but you still detected it …"
Sun Lang smiled and said, "I didn't notice it. I just casually bluffed, and you took the bait."
The little disciple said angrily, "Master!
You! "
Sun Lang said lightly, "This time I will record it, but now I have a serious matter to deal with. I will deal with you another day."
Princess Pingyang said resentfully, "Oh."
Looking at her indignant look, she should be ruthless in her heart. In the future, no matter how Master opened his mouth and shouted, she would not answer. She was really stupid.
Of course, she was stupid … Sun Lang thought to himself.
She really believed whatever he said. This little fool, she was deceived again. In fact, Sun Lang had really noticed that she was eavesdropping. The reason why he said it was a bluff was to deceive this silly disciple. In this way, she would definitely come over to eavesdrop next time. At that time, he could teach her a lesson again.
Sun Lang sneered in his heart, but asked, "I seem to have asked you before … You have been holding that sword for two years. When did it wake up?"
Ping Yang said the date without hesitation and added, "According to the time, it was when Master pulled the thunder bow in Mingzhou and shocked the Imperial Astronomer."
Sun Lang nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.
Two years ago, in the Great Barren Mountain, he knocked The Devil Yuan Zu into a coma. The Houtu Sacred Sword was badly damaged, and the Empire lost the ability to create an Imperial Army. The Earth Sword Spirit was in a coma and did not wake up until recently.
But in the past two years, the Emperor's plan did not seem to stop.
Bai Yuwei had been gradually corroded by the Gold Glory Sacred Sword. He sealed himself in the temple behind the Bai Family Castle. Sometimes he was sober, sometimes he was crazy, and in remorse, he fought against the Sword Spirit's possession … At that time, the Emperor must have coldly observed this progress. The Immortality Possession Plan was not hindered by this.
Ling Mu Li, who escaped from the Great Barren Mountain, also died in the past two years.
Chi Lianyan, the playboy who had nothing to do, was also chosen by the Emperor during this time. He changed from an incompetent person to a Sword Sage who could wield the Chaos Sacred Sword.
What did this mean?
There were two possibilities.
First, the Emperor had a careful and precise plan with a clear purpose and execution motivation, so that he could complete the layout step by step when The Devil was in a coma.
But this meant that this careful and precise layout plan also existed in the memory of The Devil, the Ancestor of the Origin, and it was arranged before the battle of the Great Barren Mountain. Only in this way, when The Devil was in a coma, the Emperor could successfully complete the layout plan in the past two years.
But … Sun Lang did not read the relevant content from the memory of The Devil.
Did it find a way to keep this memory?
Or, it was the second possibility.
The Devil might not be in a coma, or not completely in a coma. Its spiritual body in the Houtu Sacred Sword was in a deep sleep, but there were things like doppelgangers that could continue to act, assisting the Emperor to continue his ambition.
For example … Mr. Zhang mentioned by the Empress.
What was going on?
Sun Lang had a faint suspicion in this regard before, but he just subconsciously thought that many things were planned and executed by Li Guangyuan. After all, he hated the Emperor of the Houtu Earth very much. Moreover, the battle of souls was fierce that day, and many of The Devil's core memories were specious. It could not be helped.
But now, after Shen Yaohua inadvertently pointed it out again, he vaguely realized that there was a big problem here.
The memory he peeped from The Devil might not be as reliable as he thought.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned back to Shen Yaohua again.
The wife was in the tiger's den, but she was not afraid at all. Even if she was in the same room with a man like Sun Lang, and there was a guy like Ping Yang, who looked like an accomplice, next to her, she was not nervous at all.
When Sun Lang was lost in thought, she just sat quietly.
"I understand your feelings, but please realize that the dead can't come back to life … Even if there is a slight chance, it won't be your turn to try. I will do it myself."
Sun Lang said sincerely, "The creature who made you a promise is an evil and cruel alien. He has an ulterior motive. I can't trust him at all … I'm not trying to evade the responsibility, but I still have to say it. Three hundred thousand soldiers died in the disaster. I barely survived. Brother Zhan's soul was cut off in the Great Desolate Mountain. There are two culprits behind all this. The first is Li Guangyuan, and the second is him."
"So, I want revenge."
"I want revenge. I want revenge for myself, for Brother Zhan, and for other dead people."
"I hope you can help me."
Sun Lang said, "I need your information. I need your testimony. I want to know what he is doing and what he wants to do … Can you tell me?"
