This is a world where Soul Card Masters manipulate Soul Cards to battle. Originally, everyone honestly combined decks and performed advanced summons based on card abilities, until Yu Cang awakened ...
Chapter 666 The real purpose!
After Lou Yan said this, even though the people in the hall were still dissatisfied, they all lowered their heads to show their submission.
Standing behind Lou Yan is Yu Cang, and the position of Khan belongs to him.
However, I originally thought it was just a puppet, but after what happened just now... it seemed like a puppet with blood.
Everyone adjusted their attitude towards him a little, but still didn't take it too seriously.
Seeing this, Lou Yan nodded, then turned around and looked at Nazhe.
"I killed your grandfather, and you don't care?"
"He is a traitor—Nazhe is a subject of the Great Court first, and his family second."
"What if I let you," Lou extended his hand, pointing at Naga, "kill him?"
Hearing this, Naga was startled. He raised his head and was about to say something, but Nazhe had already stood up with a silver sword in his hand, and an undisguised coldness spread in his eyes.
"You——!" Naga's eyes widened.
Nazhe's eyes did not seem fake, the murderous intent in them was cold and absolute, he really wanted to kill his father!
He looked at Nazhe, then at Lou Yan, and couldn't help but take a step back, not knowing what to do.
Just when Naga couldn't help but want to take action to protect himself, Lou Yan raised his hand and grabbed Nazhe's hand.
"No need—I'll remember you. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left the hall.
Seeing this, Nazhe hurried to follow.
After they left, Naga's expression continued to flicker.
Zhe'er...why did he do this?
Behind him, countless eyes fell on him, some of them were teasing, some were pitiful, but he could no longer care about so much at this moment.
Zhe'er has his own ambitions, and he has always known it.
However, if you told Yu Cang you were willing to sacrifice his head, he would understand. But this was just Lou Yan, an insignificant little person...
He could see that Yu Cang would definitely not stay in the Longevity Tent. He would leave sooner or later. As Lingsui and Boxun were mythical powers, Yu Cang would definitely keep them by his side so that they could play the greatest role of the myths.
By then, Lou Yan will have no myth to use and will be nothing more than a puppet.
Why would Nazhe try to please someone who will eventually fall into the abyss?
…
Lou Yan stopped.
He turned around: "What are you following me for?"
After leaving the hall, Nazhe followed behind.
Seeing this, Nazhe immediately knelt on one knee.
"Khan, I come to serve you."
"You are already my subject."
"That's not enough!" Nazhe lowered his head and said, "I know you are destined to overthrow the entire Changsheng Tent and bring true clarity to all hunters... Those corrupt old men in the royal court cannot possibly understand your thoughts. You need a sharp blade to carry out your will - please let me be that blade!"
Yes, he was not only betting that Yu Cang was not an ordinary person, but he was also betting that what Lou Yan was going to do was definitely not ordinary!
This kind of business that has swept the entire Changsheng Account must be joined directly at the very beginning in order to obtain maximum benefits!
Now, no one has realized what Lou Yan is going to do. Even if they realize it, they will definitely think that he dares not to do it. Therefore, this is the best time for him!
Hearing Nazhe's words, Lou Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
What Nazhe said was absolutely right.
If there is someone to walk with him on this road, it will naturally be better than him supporting it alone - Nazhe seems to be able to be such a person.
Lou Yan knew in his heart that Nazhe was definitely not a good person. This could be seen from the way he treated the farmers in the Killing Army.
But, at least, Nazhe has never used the human elixir - this is already rare in the Changsheng Tent, and it also means that he is qualified to join him in overthrowing all the Buddha statues.
Moreover, Nazhe had just shown himself his determination.
In order to complete Lou Yan's orders, he can swing the blade at his own family!
After a long silence.
Lou Yan nodded gently: "Okay."
Hearing this, Nazhe felt a little relieved, but he didn't show it on his face. He just lowered his head even more.
"From now on, Nazhe will be your sharp blade."
He knew that Lou Yan had climbed aboard.
He was probably not qualified to board Yu Cang's ship. In the Changsheng Tent, only the two myths and Lou Yan were qualified to be by Yu Cang's side, so Lou Yan's ship was his best choice!
How things develop afterwards depends on whether he wins the bet.
"You go back first." Lou Yan said.
"yes."
Nazhe nodded in agreement and then left.
Lou Yan continued walking on the road. At a certain moment, Ling Sui suddenly said, "He's gone far away."
“…Hu…Ha, ha…”
Lou Yan seemed to be relieved. He sat down on the floor beside him and began to breathe heavily.
His performance in the Golden Jade Palace just now, as well as his performance against Nazhe later, were too beyond his capabilities.
He had never experienced such a scene before...putting on airs in front of so many guardians of the country!
Would he be treated as a clown? Would his pretense of strength be seen through by those who defended the country?
No one knew, so he could only bite the bullet and do what he thought a ruler should do.
Not to mention, it was his first time killing someone, and it was a national hero, which put a lot of pressure on him both mentally and physically.
However, I forced myself not to vomit in the hall at that time, and now that I have recovered, I don’t feel like vomiting as much.
"Taizu...ha, ha...you say, what I did just now, is it okay?"
Ling Sui smiled and said, "You are already qualified to be a Khan."
“Ah? …Is that all?”
"Of course—don't think too hard about it. The Great King's Court is actually no different from a makeshift group."
"I...OK!"
"Let's go, let's go back, the teacher is still waiting for us."
"Uh-huh."
…
In the post station
Yu Cang was sitting in a chair, drinking tea slowly.
In front of him, Sachan knelt on the ground, saying nothing, but his forehead was covered with sweat.
Yu Cang asked Po Xun to bring Sachan back, and of course there was only one purpose -
"You still haven't said it yet, right?"
Sachan: “…Um, you haven’t asked yet.”
"Bo Xun."
The eyes of the smaller Chilong narrowed, and light instantly filled his pupils. The power of the Buddha Kingdom was drawn down and poured into Sachan's mind!
"Uh-huh..."
Sachan groaned, and in the pain that pierced his soul, his body subconsciously shrank into a ball, shaking continuously on the ground like a shrimp in a frying pan.
"No...I...uh..."
This pain was extremely strange. It clung to the deepest part of one's mind like a maggot on the tarsal bone. This pain even blocked Sachan's ability to make a sound, making him unable to even cry out in pain!
Mara once followed Changsheng, and during his long life, Changsheng created countless kinds of punishments whose names alone were enough to scare people to death.
The cruelty and inhumanity involved are appalling.
At this moment, after thousands of years, it was used again by Mara. Although it was a little unfamiliar, it was extremely effective.
Just like now, although there is no blood to be seen, the pain that Sachan endured is definitely more exaggerated than being cut into pieces.
Yu Cang didn't know how long to use this punishment, but when he saw that Sachan was about to die, he waved his hand to stop Poxun.
"Go ahead." Yu Cang said.
"……grown ups……"
All parts of Sachan's body that could lose control of the bowels had become incontinent. He lay on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes.
"You...you ask...if you ask, I will answer...I will answer..."
Yu Cang: "...Okay then."
Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Cang put down the teacup.
Does it hurt so much?
Yu Cang was worried.
But he didn't think much about it, and just said casually:
"Back then, two card makers followed the Desolate Sect's team and disappeared in the True Dragon's Death Zone—"
Before Yu Cang could finish his words, Sachan's body trembled.
"——I want to know about their situation."
“You, you are talking about…”
"Yu Shuhong, Mu Xuezhi."
“…”
Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why, you still don't want to say it?"
Hearing this, Sachan clenched his teeth.
"As for their plans, I don't have enough authority within the sect to get involved..."
Yu Cang remained noncommittal: "Bo Xun, continue."
Upon hearing this, Bo Xun's expression did not change at all. The light in his eyes condensed, and he was about to continue to activate Changsheng's punishment.
Sachan said quickly, "Wait, wait, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Yu Cang immediately raised his chin slightly to let Boxun pause.
Sachan said: "What I said just now is true. I don't have enough authority...but I will tell you everything I know."
"Go ahead."
"...It's because of the elixir of immortality! Back then, before the elixir was even refined, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor couldn't hold on any longer and passed away first. So the elixir followed him into the True Dragon's Death Zone. The sect's subsequent actions were also due to this...
"Your parents obtained the elixir of immortality, which is why they were targeted by the sect..."
“…”
Yu Cang sighed.
"It seems that you are still determined to do so - Mara."
"Wait—Ugh!"
This time, Mara did not give Sachan time to react. With a glare from his eyes, the cruel illusion from a thousand years ago dragged Sachan's consciousness in. With the help of the authority of the Buddha Kingdom, Sachan had no chance of resistance!
This time, he will be tortured in the eighteen levels of hell in the illusion, and his perception of time will be stretched to the limit. The pain he will endure will far exceed the sum of the previous punishments!
After a while.
Mara closed his eyes and ended the illusion.
On the ground, Sachan's eyes seemed to have lost their luster. He curled up into a ball and collapsed on the ground. There was no strength in his body, and even the soul energy well no longer produced soul energy.
Yu Cang: "Now, continue."
Hearing Yu Cang's voice, Sachan seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.
"I say!"
His voice was countless times hoarser than before, as if a ball of rust was stuffed into it. The sound was painful just to hear.
"The elixir of immortality... The elixir of immortality is just one of the reasons... I just haven't finished speaking yet! Not yet! Don't do that to me again!!"
Tears wet Sachan's face and his voice was particularly miserable.
Yu Cang ignored his performance.
"Then finish it."
"Okay, okay... Actually, the elixir of immortality that the two of them obtained was only a semi-finished product... Until the end, Emperor Zulong's alchemist still couldn't refine the elixir of immortality. However, Emperor Zulong... found a better and more perfect elixir of immortality..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Cang's brows moved slightly.
A more perfect medicine?
The elixir of immortality was indeed not refined - the layers of "shell" lingering around the vitality of creation were too stubborn. It was the result of the accumulation of countless great monsters over hundreds of millions of years, and it was definitely not something that a human could refine in a thousand years.
In terms of the nature of power, the vitality of creation is already the most noble power in this world.
If there is a power that is more suitable for the Zulong Emperor than the Creation Life Force, then Yu Cang believes it. But what if it is "better" or "more perfect"?
I'm afraid not.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang looked at Sachan with some suspicion.
Could it be that the torture was too severe and now he has started talking nonsense?
Not really, after all, it is a national guardian.
Seeing Yu Cang's eyes, Sachan didn't know what terrible thing he was thinking of. He quickly said, "I can't lie to you about this!"
"Tell me, what is the more perfect medicine?"
"I don't know about this... I really don't know! As for what the Zulong Emperor actually ate, only the Supreme Bishop knows. I don't have that authority!"
Sachan was obviously broken, and was terrified that Yu Cang would ask Poxun to do something to him again.
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
"...Someone from the Desolate Sect came looking for me later. Was it because of the elixir of immortality that my parents took away?"
"No, it's not... Although the elixir of immortality is powerful, it can't have a beneficial impact on the sect's plan, so it's just a smokescreen."
"What is that?"
Hearing this, Sachan opened his mouth, but his body trembled violently.
It seemed that he was recalling some terrifying existence, which made him subconsciously resist telling this secret.
But after glancing at Mara beside him, he gritted his teeth.
"I said...it's Ren Zheng!"
“…”
"When the sect chose your parents, their ultimate goal was actually Ren Zheng... or rather, the 'candle' in Ren Zheng's hand!"
Hearing this, Yu Cang frowned.
What Sachan said was beyond his expectation.
The Desolate Sect first came after his parents, and later came after him under the same pretext, so he always thought that they were plotting against him.
Now that I think about it, I have indeed fallen into a dead end.
If the target is Ren Zheng... at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
Yes... He remembered that the old man said that "Zhu" was the fire in the "Zhulong" of Emperor Zulong.
When the Zulong Emperor gave the candle to Di Chang'an, he said that the candle was only borrowed temporarily. If one day, the candle once again entered the range of the real dragon's death zone and the Zulong Emperor was still awake... then he would take the candle back immediately!
Is this the purpose of the Desolate Sect?
So that's why he tried to lure his parents and himself into the Real Dragon's Death Place one after another, just to attract Ren Zheng to go there to rescue people?
Yes, he remembered that his parents had sent a message for help to Grandpa Ren before they disappeared... Now it seems that the message might have been forged by the Desolate Sect!
But, the Desolate Sect did all this just to return Tongzhonghuo to its place? Why?
--etc.
If that is the case, then doesn’t that explain it?
From the time his parents disappeared until now, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, who sat in the midst of the True Dragon's death...
Always awake?
