"The person you are waiting for will not come."
The Ancestor Sky Demon said slowly.
The three people behind him did not say a word, and no one responded.
They all seemed to think that the Ancestor Sky Demon was not talking to them.
But that was not the case.
The Sky Demon turned his head and smiled faintly. "I have to say, as a human being, it is really not easy for you to do this."
He looked at Shen Yaohua.
His tone was light and flat.
"What message did my good-for-nothing child leave for you?"
The Sword Saints of the Wei Clan heard this and immediately took a step back, their two Holy Swords ready to strike.
There was also the Ancestor Sky Demon in front of them.
This was a fatal trap. In the whole world, only Sun Lang could escape from the encirclement of these three people. And for Shen Yaohua, this was an impossible task.
She was surrounded, but she did not panic at all. Perhaps this infatuated woman had already seen through life and death, or perhaps she knew that resistance was futile.
The woman just quietly glanced at the Ancestor Sky Demon, the biggest demon in the world.
She whispered, "Is it meaningful?"
The Ancestor Sky Demon laughed. "It is indeed meaningless. You are a great woman. If you had chosen another path, your achievements may not be inferior to Empress Tensei. It is a pity."
Shen Yaohua said faintly, "You flatter me. I am just a pitiful person."
"You don't look happy," the Sky Demon said. "Is there a misunderstanding?
Although I have seen through your tricks, I will not do anything to you. After all, your little tricks and thoughts will not have any impact. More importantly, Sun Lang values you and your wife very much. How can I make him unhappy? "
He stretched out his hand, and the Water Holy Sword in Shen Yaohua's hand floated into the air and fell meekly into the Sky Demon's hand. The Ancestor Sky Demon stroked the sword, which flowed like autumn water, and whispered, "Not only will I not pursue your crimes, but I will also fulfill my promise to let him wake up again and let you and your wife reunite. This will also make the guilt in Sun Lang's heart dissipate. What a perfect ending."
Suddenly, a teardrop rolled down Shen Yaohua's eyes.
The Sky Demon was slightly unhappy. "What are you crying for?"
"I am sad and in pain for what is about to happen."
Shen Yaohua said slowly, "This is not a perfect ending. Even if you resurrect him, it is not to fulfill your promise, but to restrain or even coerce Sun Lang. And even if my husband is resurrected and sees the current situation, he will not feel happy. Instead, he will be in pain. I am his wife. How can I not be sad when I think that he will have to face such a situation when he reopens his eyes?"
"You are really smart, but you can keep these words to yourself."
The Sky Demon's tone became a little Senran. "There is no absolute perfection in this world, only relative perfection. Everyone has to make a choice, or accept fate calmly when it comes.
You see, even someone as strong as Sun Lang has to make a choice in the situation I have carefully arranged. For the sake of the people he cares about, he has to compromise. You see, I have achieved a great victory, but I still have to rack my brains and worry about Sun Lang, the only variable. "
He said coldly, "And for the two of you, reuniting as husband and wife is already the best result. The other sadness and pain can be gradually dissipated and let go through the long years of loving each other. Time is the best medicine. There will be a day when Sun Lang will let go, and I will let go as well. We will set our sights on a further future."
Shen Yaohua shook her head. "I don't think so."
The Sky Demon raised his eyebrows. "What?"
The wife's tone was calm but certain, as if she was making a prophecy. "I said that neither of you will let go."
The Sky Demon's expression changed slightly.
"My husband said that to judge a person, you can't judge them by what they say, but by what they do. You promised Sun Lang a bright and peaceful future. Your words were sincere and sincere, but what did you do to the Sword Spirit of the Houtu Sword? What did you do to Sun Lang? What did you do for the sake of freedom over the past few hundred years?
Even I have some doubts when I hear your words. Do you think Sun Lang will believe everything you say? "
The Sky Demon's expression darkened.
"As for Sun Lang …"
Shen Yaohua continued to speak, ignoring the Sky Demon's faint anger. When she talked about Sun Lang, a complicated expression appeared on her face. It was both proud and sad. After a long time, she said in a low voice, "He will not wallow in the mire with you. Heroes may be confused for a moment, but they will never be unable to distinguish right from wrong."
The Sky Demon was startled at first, but then he laughed mockingly.
"Right from wrong?"
He shook his head and said, "I thought that as an intelligent woman, you must have a good opinion when you came to me. I didn't expect you to say such crude words … I didn't expect you to be so boring and naive."
"I can only say that you know nothing about Sun Lang," the Progenitor Heavenly Demon said with a straight face. "I can only say that you know nothing about Sun Lang... He is a rare genius, an unparalleled, one-of-a-kind talent, even a great hero. But he is not your hero. His appearance in this world is due to an amazing coincidence. From the beginning to the end, he has no responsibility for this world. Instead, this world owes him a lot."
"The hero you speak of has no moral burden. He does not have inexplicable persistence and integrity, and he does not have any loyalty or obsession to this country. In his eyes, I am no different from Li Guangyuan. His moral outlook may care about the well-being of the people. In this regard, I will do better than Li Guangyuan … This is the basis on which I can reach a consensus with him."
"And you know nothing about this."
"So, do you understand?
If you are counting on a hero to stand up for this country and stop me, then you can give up. Sun Lang will not come, because he has no reason to fight for you. Compared to the so-called country and the orthodoxy of the country, he cares more about the happiness of a part of it. And you actually put your last hope on Sun Lang. How ridiculous and sad. "
He shook his head slightly with contempt and contempt.
Human beings were sometimes so sad that they were hopeless.
"So, is this your purpose?"
It was Shen Yaohua who asked calmly.
The Sky Demon's eyes narrowed. "What did you say?"
The woman said softly, "You know Sun Lang very well. You gave him a multiple-choice question with only one answer. You calculated his weakness and obsession, so you forced him to compromise.
"He made a choice. He sacrificed himself to protect those he wanted to protect, but those people may not understand. Even if they understand, they may not accept it. Sun Lang has no obsession with this country, but those people do. Over time, there will be a rift in their hearts, and it is only a matter of time before they part ways.
"In this way, Sun Lang's spiritual defense will inevitably be shaken. Guilt and anger will be intertwined, and there will be the depression of not being understood. He will inevitably be far away from his old friends. Even if my husband comes back to life, he will not have the face to see him. When his heart is filled with hesitation and confusion, his sword will inevitably be covered with dust."
Shen Yaohua stared at the Extraterrestrial Demon. "And this is your chance. How could a scheming and narrow-minded Extraterrestrial Demon like you allow Sun Lang to become a sword that hangs over your head at all times? You'll definitely think of a way to get rid of him. You've probably set up a vicious scheme against him a long time ago."
The Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor was furious. He raised his hand, but changed his mind at the moment when it fell.
"Interesting, interesting. You are really an interesting woman."
He was so angry that he laughed, and there was a trace of coldness in his tone. "Are you trying to provoke me so that I will kill you and strengthen Sun Lang's determination to fight?
It's really wishful thinking.
The reason why an open conspiracy is an open conspiracy is that the target knows that it is a trap, but he still has to pinch his nose and step into it. Even if Sun Lang is suspicious of my words, for the sake of those women and the group of people in the hall, he has to pretend to be polite with me first! "
"You are wrong about two things."
Even in the face of the Sky Demon's monstrous ferocity and murderous aura, Shen Yaohua still straightened her back. As the only sober human being present, she guarded the dignity of human beings.
She slowly said, "First, I don't want to provoke you to kill me. I don't want to die. I want to stand here alive, witness what is about to happen, and witness your defeat."
"Second."
Shen Yaohua's tone was very firm, as if she was describing the truth of the world. "Sun Lang's fighting spirit does not need me to inspire, because a hero is a hero no matter where he is."
The Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor sneered. "Are you so sure?"
Shen Yaohua smiled.
This was her most brilliant smile that came from the bottom of her heart. However, this smile contained not only sweet joy but also melancholy and sorrow. However, it was clear that the power that supported her to stand there and speak so confidently to the world's most terrifying Demon King came from the thing behind this smile.
The Sky Demon saw this and looked thoughtful, but the next moment, his face completely darkened.
Looking back.
A person was strolling over.
"… Sun Lang."
The Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor's tone was neither sad nor happy, so calm that it was frightening.
Sun Lang waved, showing his teeth, and smiled brilliantly. "Hey, I'm here to clear the main line."
The Sky Demon was silent, and then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "What's wrong with you?"
Sun Lang said as he walked, "That woman is dead."
That woman?
The Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor was stunned at first, and then the image of Empress Tensei appeared in his mind.
Why did it have to be her?
Almost instantly, his vigilance and alertness were raised to the highest level. Under the calm appearance, the magnificent and terrible power began to slowly flow and surge, and he entered the state of battle at the fastest speed.
But even so, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart, and he still made a final effort with his mouth. "So, you want to put more people in danger for a woman who betrayed and hurt you, and fight a war where both of us will suffer great losses?"
"No … Well, I admit that this is one of the important reasons, but it's not just that."
Sun Lang pondered for a moment, and finally waved his hand. "Forget it, it's very complicated. Even if I explain it to you seriously, I'm afraid you won't understand … In the long years of imprisonment, you learned conspiracy, learned tricks, learned deceit, learned betrayal, but you are still a Sky Demon. Although these dark and insidious tricks come from the human heart, they are not all of human beings. You still don't understand human beings.
"And this is the reason for your defeat."
He whispered, "Remember this sentence well. Focus on the key points. It's going to be tested."
The Sky Demon frowned. He did not understand what Sun Lang was talking about.
Was he deliberately mystifying, or did he really have a deep meaning?
What on earth made him decide to go all out and fight?
He could not understand, and he could not guess.
But … in fact, it did not matter.
The Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor suddenly laughed.
"Sure enough, it's still like this!"
He suddenly shouted. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the ground, and an extremely terrifying aura shrouded and suppressed the entire imperial city. The terrible Sky Demon, who had changed the fate of the entire Human Race hundreds of years ago, released a high-spirited and violent aura. He was once the most deadly enemy of all human beings, and of course, he was still one now.
In this sweeping, bone-chilling wind, the Sky Demon's voice could be clearly heard, and it rumbled in everyone's ears. "I have endured and planned for hundreds of years. In the endless waiting and dormancy, I have seized the dawn of victory. Step by step, I have planned out strategies. Every move has been considered thousands of times, and the development of every link has to be weighed left and right to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Midway, I have experienced setbacks and variables, and finally grasped the fruit of victory in my hands, seized this country, and completed the first step of my revenge …"
The Houtu Sacred Sword floated in front of him, blooming with an unprecedented bright light. He was the real master of the Houtu Sacred Sword. After getting rid of the sword spirit, he had mastered all the power of this sacred weapon.
"Everything is going according to my plan. I used the souls of my people to occupy the bodies of the warriors of the Imperial Army, captured the elites of the upper class of the capital, suppressed the stupid and lamentable Human Race Emperor, ambushed for a hundred years, and used the countermeasure of the Houtu Sages to get rid of the sword spirit that imprisoned me. From then on, I gained complete freedom, began a new great journey, and realized greater and further ambitions. All these developments are within my expectations. I should be infinitely happy and satisfied, but I always feel that …"
He reached out and grabbed, and the sacred sword flipped over in his hand. The fierce Sword Qi soared into the sky, blowing away all the remaining clouds in the sky. The rolling thunder of the Sky Demon of the Yuan Ancestor shook the earth.
"I always feel that until now, it's still … too little!
Point!
What!
What!
Ah! "
Before being a politician, he was first a soldier. Before being a wise man, he was first a warrior. Even if he had learned to endure and trick over the long years, his essence had never changed.
"Sun Lang!"
He said sternly, "In that case, let's go all out and fight!
The fruits of victory won't make me feel completely at ease. Only a victory won by the sword is a true victory, and only then will it leave me with a sweet aftertaste! "
All the momentum and pressure were released without reservation, and the Sword Saints could not help but retreat. Even if he controlled Li Guangyuan's old body, the Yuan Ancestor Sky Demon still showed the power that was close to the Demon God. No one could get close to him under this earth-shattering aura.
Only Sun Lang faced this fierce edge.
