At this moment, he truly regretted it.

Because waiting for a thousand years is too painful, it is a loneliness and solitude that cannot be filled no matter how many people are killed or how much blood is shed.

Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he always thinks of the cabin from a thousand years ago.

But later, no matter how many exquisite and beautiful wooden houses he built, without the presence of women, everything was boring.

"Master, I miss home." Jiang Ziheng raised his still youthful and clear face, earnest and nostalgic, "You once said that the deep bamboo forest is our home. I want to go home."

After going around in circles, what he actually wanted was very simple, which was to live with his master in the bamboo forest forever, at peace with the world.

The woman saw the longing in his eyes and understood his obsession. During those three hundred years, she had indeed taken great care of the young man and regarded him as her only disciple in the world.

She knew that practicing Buddhism was too difficult, so when she found him dull, she never forced him to do anything or blame him. She even brought him back to the sect and took good care of him when he was about to ascend.

She originally thought that her fate with him was over in this life.

Unexpectedly——

She slowly raised her hand, pointed her index finger at the boy's eyebrows, and sighed softly, "You and I are doomed."

As soon as he finished speaking, enormous power poured into the young man's brows and instantly went straight through his crown and dantian.

Jiang Ziheng widened his eyes, feeling as if his demon root was being crushed by a ruthless hand in an instant, and all his cultivation became a dream bubble in the sound of his dantian shattering.

“Master…”

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask why, but unfortunately no sound came out.

The woman frowned, hiding the trace of compassion in her heart, and said calmly: "You should atone for the sins you have carried for thousands of years."

And these sins cannot be repaid even if one dies in this life.

Anyone who died in vain on Earth today because of the corpse-raising formation will have his soul shattered into pieces to pay for his life.

In the end, Jiang Ziheng turned into ashes and completely disappeared from the world with a desperate cry.

“Master…”

The rumbling sound of water on Feitian Ferry soon drowned out all other sounds.

The Xuanzong people who arrived a step late only saw the scene of the woman killing Jiang Ziheng with one finger. They were surprised that she was willing to sacrifice her own relatives for the sake of justice and acted ruthlessly, and they were also terrified of her unfathomable magical powers.

This fear comes from the absolute oppression of the strong over the weak and is ingrained in human nature.

But looking at the face that was about 70% similar to their own family head, the natural sense of closeness made them muster up the courage to step forward.

"Um, may I ask the name of the great master?" Nan Xu walked behind the woman and spoke carefully.

Hearing this, the woman turned around, her plain dress swaying slightly, and her cold eyes, which were very similar to Ye Lan's, were calm and collected. "My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Lan."

Jiang Lan.

Very similar to Ye Lan.

However, they didn't know that all this was Jiang Ziheng's work, so they just thought it was fate in reincarnation, and looked at Jiang Lan with a little more intimacy.

"Then Senior Jiang, inside your body, that..." Nan Xu scratched his cheek, not knowing what to say.

In the past, she was the oldest one, and no matter whether it was in the summit meetings of various countries or in the ancient martial arts world, others had to treat her with the utmost respect. But now the situation has suddenly turned around, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

She was filled with bitterness, feeling that being someone's grandson at the age of several hundred was indeed a bit of a misfortune. Just as she was about to ask her second martial brother, who was adept at dancing with his sleeves, to do it for her, she heard a faint voice from the other side, "You want to ask Ye Lan?"

Instantly, the elders all raised their heads and couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Do you remember?"

I remember there was a person named Ye Lan.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said calmly: "I have her memories. Her soul is very strong. She did not completely lose her nature when she returned to her place."

That's why she returned to Feitian Ferry as soon as she woke up, investigated the matter of the Pharmacist Sect's blood curse based on Ye Lan's investigation, and uncovered Jiang Ziheng's true identity.

"Then our clan leader..." The elders wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.

Jiang Lan in front of them looked too powerful, with no trace of Ye Lan at all. They also couldn't imagine how the head of their family would survive in the end.

Jiang Lan wasn't exactly unkind. Seeing the sincere concern expressed by the group of people before him, he thought of his own master, and his eyes flickered as he said, "She's fine."

She is fine.

Didn't say where specifically it was good.

But after receiving this answer, the elders' tense nerves relaxed a little.

Nan Xu's eyes were red as she nodded and murmured, "That's good, that's good."

Jiang Lan knew that they were like mother and daughter. He sighed inwardly and took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry. It's my fault for not teaching me well as a master that I caused this trouble today."

She has always been able to distinguish right from wrong, otherwise she would not have killed her own relatives for the sake of justice as soon as she woke up.

"Don't blame me, senior. You are also the biggest victim." Nan Xu shook her head. Although the person in front of her had merged with Ye Lan's soul, she knew that the fault was not hers and she had no resentment in her heart.

Jiang Lan had no intention of arguing or discussing this. After speaking to the elders, he turned sideways and looked at Lei Ze at the other end of the platform.

From the beginning, he had not made any move, just watching everything coldly.

Jiang Lan flashed in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Immortal."

She used etiquette from thousands of years ago.

Lei Ze stood there without moving, and had no intention of replying. He just stared at her, his eyes thoughtful.

He knew very well that even though the person in front of him had Ye Lan's soul, his main consciousness was still Jiang Lan.

So I can't feel any affection for her.

As a god, he has his own arrogance, so what he needs to consider now is how to bring Ye Lan out of this body, or to occupy him directly.

Perhaps his gaze was too direct, or perhaps Jiang Lan was too smart.

Seeing Lei Ze didn't react, she smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to overthink it, Immortal. Ye Lan is my reincarnation and is naturally a part of my soul. Heaven and earth have their own laws, and even an Immortal cannot interfere with the fate of souls in the human world."

He was so straightforward in exposing the other person's thoughts and dispelling them. The real Jiang Lan's style of doing things was exactly the same as Ye Lan's, even bolder and more direct.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Lei Ze's face showed no emotion, but the words he spoke already contained murderous intent.

An ordinary person might not be able to withstand the will of a god and would have been crushed to the ground long ago, but Jiang Lan did not dodge or evade. His cold eyes met the other person's gaze directly and he smiled politely, "You won't, because even if the demonic energy continues to control your mind, the divine nature will still enable you to make the right choice."

This is the faith in Taoism that she has upheld for thousands of years, as solid as a rock.

But faced with such a determined human, Lei Ze was unable to take action.

He even felt that only such a person was worthy of ascending to the heavenly realm, traveling to his hometown, meeting the great Father God, and finally understanding why the Father God granted humans the right to become immortals.

Whether it is Ye Lan or Jiang Lan, humans with such qualities and character have long transcended the scope of natural rules and are capable of making rules.

So he made another suggestion.

"I will fulfill my promise, open the rift in time and space, reshape the existence of the Heavenly Order, and fill this world with spiritual energy again. Are you willing to return to my hometown with me?"
