The woman in the phoenix dress let out a sigh. She really didn't like such a lively scene. In particular, Wang Lin's gaze made her feel uncomfortable, and she felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Even she didn't know what was going on.
However, every time she tried to think about it, she would become even more confused.
She gently got up and a shadow appeared beside the woman in the phoenix dress. The shadow respectfully handed over a cup of wine and floated behind the woman. The shadow walked out of the hall with her and arrived before Wang Lin's table.
Wang Lin sat there with his head lowered. In a short period of time, he had drunk seven or eight jugs of wine. He raised his head and looked at the woman before him. Wang Lin's vision became blurry again.
"You …" The woman looked at Wang Lin and was about to speak.
"Do you know how to play the zither …" Wang Lin said bitterly. After he finished speaking, he shook his head and laughed at himself. He picked up the jug of wine and touched the wine cup in the woman's hand. He drank an entire jug and then turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky.
The wine droplets danced in the air, and one of them landed on the woman's face. It was very cold.
"Wan 'er … just where is your soul?!?!"
In the sky, Wang Lin's figure disappeared into the distance, but the woman could faintly hear this voice.
This voice was filled with sorrow. She wasn't the only one who heard it, the people on the square, the platform, and even the Ancient Dao Emperor. The smile on his face became even stronger as he took a sip of wine.
He didn't see it, Wang Lin didn't see it, and no one here saw it. After hearing Wan Er's words, the woman in the phoenix dress trembled. Her eyes were filled with struggle and confusion, but soon, the struggle disappeared and her expression became empty.
She turned around and walked back into the hall. Behind her, the lively hall became even more dazzling.
"Wan Er … I'm willing to turn the entire sky red just to give you a reason to not close your eyes …"
Wan Er, I dyed the entire sky red with fire just to give you a reason not to close your eyes again.
Wan Er, I blasted the entire world with thunder just to let you hear my voice.
Wan Er, I've traveled thousands of miles and passed through many realms just to find your breath.
Wan Er, I've entered the Devil's Killing Dao. I've defied the heavens and killed immortals. I've subverted the heavens and the earth. My bleak and lonely back is standing in front of you, just to make you open your eyes that make me calm.
Wan Er, where is your soul!!!
Tears flowed down from Wang Lin's eyes as he silently walked forward in the brightly lit Ancient Dao imperial city. His back was lonely, bleak, and filled with helplessness.
In the depths of his heart, it was always covered by coldness and survival, and would not be easily revealed. But this time, after seeing that familiar temperament, Wang Lin could no longer hide it. He could no longer deceive himself. Tears flowed down his cheeks.
As he silently walked away, tears dripped down his cheeks as he went to some unknown roof.
He could still vaguely hear the noise from the palace, but right now, Wang Lin was unwilling and didn't want to listen. He just wanted to be alone in a place with no one around and silently count his own memories.
He returned to the Dao Auspicious Temple and returned to his own cabin. Inside the cabin, Wang Lin closed the door and sat there in a daze. He was in no mood to cultivate or look at the Grand Empyrean sun in the underground cave. He looked at the colorful world outside the window for a long, long time.
"I have heaven-piercing cultivation … So what … I have a heaven-defying will … So what … Even though I'm the guardian of the Ancient Dao, I can't find Wan Er's soul …" Wang Lin's face was filled with pain. He didn't want to think about this problem. He had been using his cultivation level to anesthetize himself, to deceive himself. He told himself that this was the only way he could find Wan Er's soul.
However, he had deceived himself for thousands of years. Now that he had seen Song Zhi, who looked like Wan Er, for the first time, he couldn't control his reminiscence and thoughts.
Time slowly passed. Wang Lin locked himself inside the wooden house and endured the heart-devouring pain. Scenes of the past appeared before his eyes. At this moment, he could only rely on his memories to stop himself from being lonely … Just like the Dong Lin Sect's ancestor, he was the only one in the Dead Sect and only had his memories to accompany him.
"In this world … There is someone with such a similar temperament … But she is not Wan Er, she is Song Zhi … The woman I once saw outside Blackstone City …" After a long time, Wang Lin forcibly suppressed the pain and memories in his heart. He didn't want himself to become weak. This would not help him find Wan Er's soul.
After letting out a deep sigh, Wang Lin closed his eyes. When he opened them a moment later, his eyes were calm, but deep within the calmness, there was still sadness.
"Song Zhi …" As Wang Lin muttered, he raised his right hand and waved it. Overlapping shadows appeared around him. The five-element true body surrounded the metal essence in the middle. There seemed to be a vague shadow sitting inside the metal essence. This shadow was the true body that the metal essence was about to form.
To calm himself down, to stop himself from thinking about this matter, to tell himself that Song Zhi was not Wan Er, Wang Lin looked at the metal essence with a haggard expression. He closed his eyes once more and prepared to rely on cultivation to stop himself from reminiscing.
However, just as he closed his eyes, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shined brightly and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes!
"Something is wrong!!!
"I met that Song Zhi outside Blackstone City before. At that time, this woman did not give me the same feeling as before. At that time, this woman was very ordinary, very ordinary. Even though she was quiet, she was definitely not the same as she was in the palace just now!"
Wang Lin's body trembled.
"If she was like she was in the palace, there was no way I wouldn't have noticed her. I should have felt that familiar feeling outside Blackstone City!!
"But at that time, I didn't feel anything, so why did I feel that familiar feeling when I saw her again in the palace?!!
"Something is wrong here!!
"The Lucky Dao Emperor chose a concubine for hundreds of years and finally chose one. However, this Song Zhi isn't beautiful, so why was she chosen by the Ancient Dao Emperor … What kind of concubine has the Ancient Dao Emperor been choosing for hundreds of years … Why is the difference between Song Zhi and before so big? Why didn't I feel it before, but it was like this in the palace!!
"Why did I feel irritated when I went to the palace and when I arrived? Why did I feel killing intent when I saw the Ancient Dao Emperor? Why did this irritating feeling disappear when Song Zhi appeared?!!"
Wang Lin suddenly stood up and his body trembled. His eyes shined brightly and shrouded the entire cabin. His hair moved without any wind as if a hidden force was going to erupt uncontrollably!
"However, I also checked this woman with my divine sense and didn't find any clues. She was normal, but the temperament of her divine sense gave me a familiar feeling … Why is this …" Wang Lin trembled and could hear his heart pounding. This feeling was something he had rarely felt in thousands of years. It was a mixture of excitement, hesitation, confusion, and confusion. It was a shock of disbelief and uncertainty.
In his heart, there seemed to be a flame that was being suppressed. It was constantly being suppressed, and it was about to explode!
"Hundreds of years of concubine selection … The difference between Song Zhi and before … What kind of secret is behind all of this? Why is this secret making me so crazy?!!"
Wang Lin's expression became distorted and he almost couldn't control himself. He wished he could immediately rush into the palace and capture the Ancient Dao Emperor to search his soul and interrogate him!
But he … couldn't!!
He was Xuan Luo's disciple, Xuan Luo was the guardian of the Ancient Dao, and Xuan Luo had shown great kindness to Wang Lin!!
If he went to the Imperial Palace to capture and kill the Emperor without any evidence, he would not be able to live with himself. He would not be able to face his Master who had helped him so much!
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He raised his right hand and reached at the void. A black jade appeared in his hand!
This jade gave off a strange, gloomy light. It was as if one look at it would attract one's mind and make it impossible to extricate themselves. This jade belonged to the ancestor of the Great Soul Sect. He had schemed for the sake of his clan and had taken out his heart and brain. He had a pleading expression as if he was weighing his conscience and scheming against Wang Lin. He was the genius of the Dao Wang clan who had knelt before the statue of Wang Lin!
"This jade can help you divinate the future once …" The words that echoed when he obtained the jade appeared in Wang Lin's mind.
Without hesitation, he crushed the jade and muttered a few words. Then he stretched out his right hand and the jade shattered into countless strands of black gas. The black gas turned into a small black person in Wang Lin's palm. He looked at Wang Lin, knelt down, and kowtowed nine times!
The moment he kowtowed, Wang Lin's mind rumbled. He saw the cave world and saw a crystal hand take Li Muwan's soul fragment from the Heavenly Dao!
He saw that in a secret room, there was a blurry figure shrouded in seven colors, holding a bead with two fingers. Inside the bead, there was Li Muwan's soul fragment, which was trembling with her eyes closed!
He heard the blurry figure whisper to the shocked man in the royal robe in front of him.
He saw the man in the royal robe's face filled with joy. After taking the soul fragment, he spent hundreds of years choosing concubines to fuse with, but they all failed. In the end, he saw a familiar woman. It was Song Zhi, and she had fused with the soul fragment.
He saw the man in the royal robe pinching the woman's cheek with his right hand, causing the unconscious woman to cry in pain.
He also heard the voice of the man in the royal robe!
The man in the royal robe was the Ancient Dao Emperor!!
"Ye Dao!!!
I'm going to kill you!!! "
Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and his hair curled like crazy. He let out a roar that could tear the heavens and destroy the imperial power!!
This roar contained a sense of madness. It contained the determination and anger of not hesitating to destroy the world, not hesitating to live or die, and not hesitating to give up everything!!
This was the most violent roar Wang Lin had let out since he was born. It was enough to make the world tremble!!
This was his, Wang Lin's, rage against the heavens!!
Rage against the heavens, asking for monthly votes!!!
