Chapter 208 Memories of a Past Life

Ye Li thought that since she was already going to die, it wouldn't matter if he told her.

But Ghost Mask was clearly more cunning than she had imagined. In response to her guess, he just gave a sinister laugh.

"You'll know when you wake up."

The black mist poured into Ye Li's mouth and nose, burying her entire face within it.

Seeing that there was no hope, Ye Li called out as they had agreed beforehand.

"Thank you, Sixing!"

Upon hearing the name, the masked man instinctively took a step back, his voice tense, "Who are you calling?"

A lazy voice rang out.

"Of course they're calling me."

The masked man was somewhat taken aback upon hearing the voice.

"Xie Sixing? Weren't you in the Chaos Realm?!"

"yes."

Xie Sixing smiled enigmatically, "But my little Taoist priest helped me escape from this sea of ​​suffering, aren't you surprised?"

After a brief silence, the masked man's voice turned cold, "No wonder her soul wouldn't dissipate; it was you!"

Xie Sixing smiled kindly, "You're welcome."

Seeing that the two had actually started chatting, Ye Li couldn't help but urge, "Stop talking, kill him!"

Xie Sixing said honestly, "I can't beat him, let's find another one."

Ye Li:?

Xie Sixing even went so far as to analyze, "Hmm, if I could get out, I could, but now, it's not really possible."

Ye Li:? ?

He chuckled. "But getting you out of here shouldn't be a problem."

Xie Sixing flashed away.

A loud shout rang out in the air, "Where are you going!"

The thick blood on the ground seemed to come alive in an instant.

It boiled and surged in an extremely bizarre manner, then transformed into billowing red mist, carrying a strong fishy smell, and swept rapidly towards Xie Sixing.

Within the red mist, it seemed as if vengeful spirits were shrieking, like a hundred ghosts crying out in unison.

It was as if the air itself was rippled, trapping them within. Countless eyes seemed to be watching from the darkness, sending chills down their spines, as if they were trapped in a purgatory from which they could never escape.

Just as Ye Li felt a splitting headache, Xie Sixing whistled.

A strange thing happened: the sound went silent for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opening, Xie Sixing flashed away, waving goodbye to the masked man before leaving.

No need to send it.

Just as Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the masked man's gloomy voice.

"Xie Sixing! Are you leaving so quickly because you're afraid she'll remember how you killed her before?"

"..."

Ye Li suddenly looked at the ghost mask. It was getting farther and farther away in her sight, but its venomous eyes were fixed on her.

The words that drifted in the air were deeply imprinted in her mind.

-

Chaos Realm

Xie Sixing raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Li, "What are you thinking about, little Taoist priest?"

Ye Li came to her senses and realized that they had returned to the Chaos Realm.

She slowly raised her eyes to look at Xie Sixing. He seemed perfectly normal, as if he hadn't heard the masked man's words at all.

But she was certain that Xie Sixing had heard it just like she had.

If she had to choose between the masked man and Xie Sixing, she would definitely trust Xie Sixing more.

But everything she saw on Twilight Cloud Island, and the moon mark on her arm, told her something.

She and Xie Sixing did not meet in the Chaos Realm.

There is a deeper connection between them.

But why has Xie Sixing never mentioned her? Did he not recognize her, or...?

Is it really true, as the masked man said, that he killed her?

Ye Li's silence lasted too long, which made Xie Sixing realize something.

He leaned back on the couch, crossed his legs, and said, "We're so familiar with each other, just ask me whatever you want, don't be shy."

Ye Li was silent for a moment, "That day, when you turned Twilight Cloud Island over, I saw an illusion."

Xie Sixing's smile was enigmatic. "Oh? What illusion?"

“I see you and I on the island, forming a pact.”

She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her arms. "This isn't the first time you've formed a bond with me, is it?"

"good."

"What kind of contract is this?"

Xie Sixing placed his hand on his knees and said slowly, "This contract is called the Symbiotic Contract. Once this contract is formed, one can live together with the contract holder."

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, "So, as long as you don't die, I won't die?"

"Um."

Xie Sixing slowly added, "And I am immortal."

"..."

An immortal body... an immortal body!

That's why she keeps getting resurrected!

Ye Li looked at Xie Sixing, "Then why did you form a contract with me?"

Xie Sixing fiddled with the crimson tassel at his waist. "If you want to know this, you have to find out how Li Yuehua died."

Ye Li frowned. "Wasn't it because he committed suicide at the Nine Nether Platform after going on a killing spree?"

Xie Sixing didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you believe it?"

“I don’t believe it, but all the evidence points to Li Yuehua. Without seeing it with my own eyes, I can’t make a judgment.”

Centuries have passed, and the last evidence vanished completely with the death of Tian Shu Ling Zun.

Only Master Qingyu remained as a witness, along with the corpses of the four elders.

Xie Sixing suddenly asked, "What if you could see it with your own eyes?"

Ye Li was startled. When she looked up, she saw that Xie Sixing was holding the two mirrors she had brought back.

The Soul Returning Mirror, the Soul Guiding Mirror.

"These two mirrors, besides being used for cultivation, can also allow you to return to your past life. Would you like to see them?"

Previously, Ye Li had seen Li Yuehua's memories in both mirrors.

In the Mirror of Returning Souls, she saw Li Yuehua imprisoned, and Master Qingyu went to visit her.

In the Soul-Guiding Mirror, she became Li Yuehua and saw how she walked down the path of no return.

If she could grasp all of Li Yuehua's memories, then she would not only know the truth behind Li Yuehua's massacre, but also the true face of the masked man.

Thinking of this, Ye Li immediately reached for the mirror.

Xie Sixing suddenly pulled his hand back.

Under Ye Li's confused gaze, he smiled and said, "Memories are easy to recall, but hard to forget. You are just Ye Li now, but if you have memories of your past life, you will no longer be just Ye Li; you will be another person. You will have her attachments and her hatreds. Are you sure you want to remember all of this?"

Upon hearing his words, Ye Li, who had been absolutely resolute, was slightly taken aback.

What can prove that you are you?

It is memory.

Although she now knows that she and Li Yuehua are the same person, she doesn't have too much of a conflict with it.

But what if she had Li Yuehua's memories?

Just like the danger in Chu.

Although he was her disciple in her past life, in her eyes now, he is more like Sect Master Chu.

If I had memories of my past life, everything would be different.

Ye Li remained silent for longer and longer.

Xie Sixing smiled knowingly. Just as he was about to put the two mirrors away, she suddenly grabbed the edge of the mirror.

Their eyes met, and her gaze held a calm that had emerged after a struggle.

“You’re right. If I had Li Yuehua’s memories, I might not be able to live as Ye Li, purely as I am now.”

Ye Li's gaze fell on the mirror. "But so many innocent lives were lost because of me and Ghost Face, so I can't turn a blind eye. I need to know the truth."
