A dark shadow hidden in the turbid air was floating in the air, with a pair of blood-red eyes staring at them coldly and bloodthirstily.
Xiao Shaoyan rushed over, "Wen Xi, where did you go just now? I looked around and around but couldn't find you. You suddenly disappeared out of thin air, which scared me."
Wen Xi shook her head to comfort him, "It's okay. Cheng Yan and I must have been in a special state just now, so the shadow dragged us into his past memories and saw some memories of their youth."
Xiao Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the shadow warily, and whispered, "He must have been secretly watching us since we entered the mirror world. Be careful."
Wen Xi nodded, "Yeah, I know!"
She raised her eyes to look at Shadow and said coldly, "So this is why you were imprisoned in the forbidden area. Why? After thousands of years of imprisonment, you still haven't repented and reformed? You still stubbornly believe that you are not wrong?"
Shadow snorted coldly, "Of course I'm not wrong. They're the ones who are wrong. Damn Chedu, did he think he could waste my time and suppress me by locking me up in the forbidden area? He never imagined that I would absorb the foul energy they hated, successfully control the foul energy they couldn't control, and gain another kind of power. God is still kind to me, because I am the chosen one!"
Wen Xi rolled her eyes at him. "You big-headed ghost, the chosen one, where do you get your confidence from? You even call yourself the chosen one? If it weren't for this old man, you would have died in the wilderness long ago. You can't feel their kindness towards you at all. To put it bluntly, what kindness? You are clearly selfish. All that kindness is just you showing to gain attention and prove yourself. You only care about what you think, regardless of the chaos in the Yin and Yang worlds. You still have the nerve to say that they are wrong. Right, right, they are wrong. The worst thing they did was to pick you up. Looking at all the miracles you have done, they might as well have left you there to fend for yourself, rather than having to clean up your mess now, you bastard!"
Wen Xi's words filled Shadow's eyes with anger. He angrily said, "What do you know? You're just a junior who was given the position of Lord of the Underworld. How dare you speak to an elder like me like that? Speaking of which, you should still call me Uncle-Master!"
Wen Xi crossed his arms and said, "Uncle Master? Are you worthy? You deceived Cheng Yan's trust and helped you escape from the forbidden area. You also caused so many bad things. You set up so many ghost areas and killed so many people. You are simply hopeless!"
No cure?
Hearing this familiar word, Shadow's pupils shrank suddenly. He twitched the corners of his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? My determination to change the world has not changed. Now I want to unify the Yin and Yang worlds. It would be better to turn everyone into ghosts. From now on, the underworld will be the only place that governs China!"
Wen Xi said, "I have locked you up in the forbidden area. Not only has it not made you regret it, it has also made you mentally ill. The Yin and Yang realms have merged into one Yin realm, and you even have such crazy thoughts? You are really seriously ill. I will never let you do this. Shadow, I only give you two choices. One is to go back to the forbidden area and never come out again. The other is... to be eliminated by me, and end up with a dead end and annihilation."
Shadow's eyes were horribly dark. "Little girl, I won't choose any of them. I will use all my strength to achieve what I want, even if I die!"
Wen Xi's palms erupted in golden flames, and he said coldly, "Alright, then let's see if you can beat me. But before that, you have to let my mother out, otherwise, I will definitely tear you apart!"
Shadow smiled slyly, "Okay, of course I will let her out. After all, she is still of some use to me."
Dark and turbid air was released, instantly covering the entire altar.
When the foul air dissipated, three people were found tied to the three stone pillars of the altar.
The drowsy Wen Jianghan and Wen Qingshan, and the other one is... Cheng Yan!
"Depend on!"
Cheng Yan cursed softly and looked at Shadow with gloomy eyes.
Wen Xi also held his forehead, "What's going on, Cheng Yan? Weren't you still by my side just now? How did you suddenly get hit?"
Cheng Yan twitched his lips and said, "I don't know either. When the foul air spread just now, I could feel someone pulling my arm. I'm stuck here, and I don't have the strength to resist as I would outside. I feel powerless."
Wen Xi frowned. "The world in the mirror is a world of evil spirits. They control everything here. I can guess that Shadow is the driving force behind them. But now there is no trace of other evil spirits at all. Could it be that... Shadow, in order to heal your own injuries, you devoured all the evil spirits here?"
Shadowy air swirled nearby. He laughed arrogantly, "Of course. The evil spirits kept here are my tonic food. In special circumstances, they replenish my strength. The world in the mirror is completely mine. Now, I want to give you a choice!"
The next second, Zhang Yayan's soul fell from the sky and hovered in the air in confusion.
Shadow said coldly, "Who is more important in your world? Zhang Yayan, I only give you one chance to choose. Do you want to choose your ex-husband or your relatives in your past life? The one you choose, I can throw it back to you. If you give up... I will devour his soul. I only give you one chance to choose."
"No, no, if you let them go, I...I can take their place, as long as you are willing to let them go!"
Zhang Yayan came back to her senses and saw Wen Qingshan gradually waking up and Cheng Yan with a cold face. Her heart tightened and she wanted to rush forward in exchange, but she was pushed out by an invisible force and spun several times in the air before stopping.
Shadow said, "It's useless. This is my mirror world. Everyone needs to listen to me. Don't you all like to force me to make a choice? Then leave your choice first and let me see what you will do."
Cheng Yan looked at Zhang Yayan with heartache as she finally managed to cultivate a stable soul, only to see it become scarred again. He couldn't help but said with heartache, "That's enough, Yayan. Choose Wen Qingshan. I won't be sad. I will find a way out myself."
Zhang Yayan's eyes couldn't bear it. "Ayan, I won't give up on you. For me, this is not a choice. I will save all three of you."
On the altar, a barrier seemed to appear out of thin air in front of the stone pillars where they were tied. No matter which direction Zhang Yayan tried to approach from, she would be repelled.
Wen Qingshan, who had regained consciousness, was heartbroken and shouted, "Wife, don't come over here, we're fine. You'll get hurt if you do this. This damn Shadow actually threatened you with us. It's really abominable. Leave first and leave us alone!"
