Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 849 The Last Road, Xuanyin Blood

Time is silent, but it tells of all the unwillingness; the years leave no trace, but they are full of regrets. For some things, even if you try your best, the ending is still so hard to accept.

On Guanxing Mountain, beside Weiming Lake, the moon is bright in the sky, and it is cold and desolate.

The old Taoist priest sat beside the tree roots, quietly looking at the shimmering lake water, and the little Ling'er was swaying on the treetops.

Every year on this day, the old Taoist priest would come to the shore of Weiming Lake, but Shen Yichen didn't know it. He used to lean against the roots of a tree, but now he can't stand up.

The old Taoist looked at himself in the water and smiled. His smile was so vicissitudes and helpless. His dry white hair was still falling.

The old Taoist knew that when his long hair fell off completely, his soul would return to heaven.

"Chen'er, can Master still wait until you enter the Ji Clan's Imperial City in Zhongzhou?"

The old Taoist sighed softly and waved the whisk in his hand towards the Weiming Lake. A vortex appeared in the lake and continued to expand. When the vortex stabilized, a grave appeared in the middle of the lake bottom.

There really is a grave in Weiming Lake! Shen Yichen's memory is real, and this grave has a tombstone.

This should be a joint burial tomb, with five tombstones around it.

There were no words on the tombstone facing the old Taoist priest, but there were words on the adjacent tombstone. Due to the swirling waves, the words were not clear.

The word "Jue" can be vaguely seen on the tombstone on the left, and there seems to be a word "Xuan" engraved on the tombstone on the right, but the other two tombstones cannot be seen.

The old Taoist priest looked at the blank stele, thinking for a long time, and then said calmly:

"Xiao Ling'er, if I die, throw my body into the Five Elements Lake and carve... Oh, never mind, I'll carve it myself. Even though you're a spirit ape, you can't read!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the true energy of the whisk in his hand flowed, and he carved two words on the tombstone through the air:

Extravagant money!

After the old Taoist priest retracted his whisk, the vortex also disappeared. A mouthful of blood spurted out, but the old Taoist priest swallowed it back.

The old Taoist priest paused for a moment, then looked up at the Five Elements Lake and muttered to himself:

"Let me tell you my guess. The Pavilion Master might still be alive. Our Master might also be alive!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he flew away. On the way, he looked back at the Five Elements Lake!

"Junior Sister Ruoshui, I saw your successor. Junior Brother Xuantu, I'm afraid my disciple has also met your successor!"

The old Taoist priest returned to the pavilion and fell to the ground.

"How did you find Stargazing Mountain back then?"

"Hahahaha... a thousand years have passed, and you're just now asking. Isn't it too late?"

"I defeated you back then. Do you think they could still be alive?"

"Huh, did you defeat me? Don't think I don't know. You are guarding a secret here, right? Do you think Ji Xuanfeng knows it?"

The old Taoist priest suddenly turned his head and looked towards Lingchenju. There was surprise, confusion, and disbelief in his expression!

After a long time, the old Taoist priest smiled.

"It seems like someone really was secretly helping you back then. What a pity, you're just pawns!"

"Before you die, tell me the secret of Stargazing Mountain, and I will tell your disciple!"

"Hey, you should ask Ji Xuanfeng, didn't you two have a good chat?"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated, and the Xuantian Order above his head moved with the wind.

In the dark city of the desert, Shen Yichen was also meditating with his eyes closed.

Ling'er pretended not to hear what the Demon Emperor said. She still held up her face and looked at her brother Chen quietly.

Ling'er doesn't care who her other half is, nor does she worry about her body being occupied because she can't change anything.

"Master Fujian is from Xuantian Pavilion, right?"

Shen Yichen opened his eyes and looked at the Demon Emperor Ye Ying and Banmian Ling'er quietly, but he expressed another guess in his sea of ​​consciousness!

"Sister Qing, Master Fujian may have come from Guanxing Mountain!"

Shen Yichen couldn't tell Sister Qing his basis, it was just a vague feeling.

"Yes, I was just guessing before, but ever since I saw this girl, I know that Master Fu Jianxuan must be from Xuantian Pavilion!"

This time, Demon King Ye Ying finally said something affirmative!

"It's better to let Master Fukuken admit it himself!"

Shen Yichen looked at Ling'er, waiting for a response, but Ling'er actually shook her head. Shen Yichen didn't know what she meant.

"This girl has an unconscious soul in her body. She has no consciousness of her own and can only carry my soul consciousness!"

Demon Emperor Ye Ying's tone was a little heavy. He actually didn't want to tell Shen Yichen these things.

Sister Qing then asked:

"Demon Emperor, are you saying that Ling'er is the second reborn body that Master Fu Jian Xuan prepared for you?"

"Demon Emperor, the God and Demon Cult failed to detect the unconscious soul in Ling'er's body because the secret technique used by Master Fu Jian originated from Xuantian Pavilion, right?"

"Yes, both of you are right, but man's plans are always inferior to God's. Master Fu Jianxuan probably didn't expect that the people from Xuantian Pavilion would plant the Demon Curse on half of my body!"

Demon Emperor Ye Ying's tone was indeed somewhat sad and helpless.

Shen Yichen was worried, but at the same time he also sympathized with the Demon Emperor.

In the sea of ​​knowledge,

"Daichen, you'd better not get involved. This has nothing to do with us!"

"Hey, Sister Qing, since the Demon Emperor is looking for me, I guess I can't hide!"

Banmian Ling'er is really wonderful. She seems to not care about anything and just looks at Shen Yichen quietly. In her eyes, Shen Yichen's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all seem beautiful!

"Demon Emperor, I can't help you and Ling'er. I really don't know how to break the curse!"

"I know you can't break the spell yet. What you need to think about now is whether you should help this girl or not. You won't just watch her become a puppet, right?"

"Of course I don't want to, but I really don't know how to help you!"

Shen Yichen patted Ling'er's shoulder gently. He didn't know how to comfort Ling'er.

"Brother Chen, it's okay, I don't blame you!"

"Demon Emperor, please speak frankly. It's already this late. What are you still worried about?"

Sister Qing seemed to understand something!

"She doesn't need you to break the curse, but she needs you to help her protect her body from being swallowed by my soul. Once this girl becomes a puppet, the people of the God and Demon Cult will erase her consciousness, allowing me to completely reborn in her body!"

Hearing this, Shen Yichen bit his lip, stared in deep thought, and after a moment, whispered:

"You mean Ling'er is just a cage that traps you, right?"

"Yes, it's up to you whether she becomes a real prisoner or not!"

Shen Yichen didn't understand. In his sea of consciousness,

"Sister Qing, what does the Demon Emperor mean?"

Sister Qing did not respond to Shen Yichen, but said coldly:

"Demon Emperor? Why does it have to be Dai Chen? Do you have other purposes?"

"I don't want to be a puppet. I need his Xuanyang blood to give me strength. This should be the third and last way that Master Fu Jian has left for me!"

"Demon Emperor, your logic is flawed! Daichen's Xuanyang blood may help you increase your strength, but aren't you just reborn through Ling'er's body? Why are you still helping Ling'er?"

Shen Yichen and Ling'er were confused by what they heard and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, if I take over her body, how can I return to my original form? Of course I have to leave myself a way out. What if one day I break the magic puppet curse? I can't live in this world as half demon, half human!"

"Humph, that sounds nice, but when that day really comes, won't Ling'er still be dead?"

After Sister Qing finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed:

"Demon Emperor, you, you mean that Ling'er might absorb half of your body and become a complete person?"

"Smart, Princess Qingshan, you can handle the rest. He must make a decision before entering the Heart of the Great Sea!"

After the Demon Emperor Ye Ying finished speaking, he left, leaving behind a message:

"The artifact is about to be relocated. After you leave here, when we meet again, it will be a completely different scene. It's best if his actions are voluntary. Don't make me force him!"

Shen Yichen looked at the Demon Emperor Ye Ying who was going away and shouted loudly:

"Demon Emperor, where is Mu Qingxue?"

"What do you think? She has the Tianyou grass cultivation furnace in her body, so Tianyou Yeying will of course treat her with courtesy. Boy, she could lose her life at any time!"

Shen Yichen's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He had overlooked the fact that Mu Qingxue also had the seven-colored fairy grass in her body.

"Where is she?"

The Demon Emperor Ye Ying disappeared.

The dark city in the desert became dim and bright again, and the changes were very fast and lasted for a long time.

"Daichen, the restraints around the artifact are probably about to be destroyed, why don't you go grab it!"

Shen Yichen pulled Ling'er and flew forward. He was not worried about the artifact, but he was worried that once the artifact was moved, this underground dark city would probably undergo earth-shaking changes, and maybe they would be buried here.

In the underground river of the vast desert, Shen Yichen was almost trapped to death twice.

"Sister Qing, I don't understand how the Demon Emperor wants me to help Ling'er!"

"Ling'er happens to be here too. Ling'er, listen to this too. This concerns your relationship. Hey, let me be clear in advance, this is not my idea, it's the Demon Emperor's intention!"

Sister Qing seems to have something to hide.

"Stop talking nonsense, Sister Qing, and tell me, didn't the Demon Emperor say that I don't have much time left?"

"Daichen, the Demon Emperor needs your Xuanyang blood to strengthen his body, and Ling'er's Xuanyin blood to nourish his body!"

Shen Yichen stumbled as he was walking forward, and pulled Ling'er down onto the sand dune.

Shen Yichen had a mouthful of sand!

"Ahem... ahem... Sister Qing, are you kidding me?"

Ling'er stood up without saying anything, with a shy look on her face. Of course she knew what Xuanyin Blood was.

"The Demon Emperor just said it very clearly. If Ling'er's Xuanyin body is not broken, she will be swallowed by the Demon Emperor's soul consciousness and completely disappear from the world. If you don't give the Demon Emperor Xuanyang blood, Ling'er will become a puppet of the God and Demon Cult. You can decide for yourself!"

Shen Yichen was depressed. The woman he wanted to stay away from was getting closer and closer. The woman he wanted to get closer to was quietly moving away from him!

"Oh my god, are you blind?"

Shen Yichen roared, and yellow sand rolled up all around him.

"Brother Chen, I, I do!"

"Silly girl, this isn't necessarily a good thing. Your brother Chen is trapped in the mortal world. You should think twice before you act!"

Shen Yichen flew away, leaving Ling'er behind. Ling'er would be fine anyway, so he certainly didn't want to break Ling'er's Xuanyin body.

Ling'er stood on the sand dune, staring blankly at Shen Yichen who suddenly walked away, and she burst into tears!

After a long time, Ling'er roared with a ferocious look:

"Brother Chen, do you hate me so much?"

"I said, no way, your heart is still too naive!"

The Demon King Ye Ying appeared again, floating out from half of Ling'er's body!
