Chapter 1811: Unprecedented Defeat in Life
"Cough cough... Zhou Lingfeng lied to me... or you lied to Zhou Lingfeng..." Jing Daoxian, who had lost all the blood in his body, was only breathing his last breath. He coughed repeatedly, but couldn't even cough up blood.
"You two are the only humans who have seen my true form." Lord Di said calmly.
"So... speaking of it... my defeat was... not unfair..." Jing Daoxian said, and the vitality in his body quickly dissipated, and he soon lost his breath.
Lord Di stared at Zhou Wen with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
"Ahem, Lord Di, please don't misunderstand me. I knew long ago that Jing Daoxian was no match for you, so I just tricked him into revealing his true identity." Zhou Wen coughed lightly.
"You are not a good person either." Lord Di snorted coldly.
"Lord Di, you also lied to me, didn't you? We are all the same, so no one should say anything against anyone else." Zhou Wen said.
Lord Di glanced at Zhou Wen and said coldly, "I didn't expect that I would lose to you and your son. The things are yours, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I will get along well with you and your son."
Zhou Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He probably had guessed something.
What Lord Di said was basically true, but he still lied to Zhou Wen on the key point.
Lord Di is obviously an immortal, so why does he have the shell of a human body? Zhou Wen had always been puzzled by this question.
Later I finally figured it out, and now I can basically be sure that my original judgment was correct.
The reason why Lord Emperor has a human body must be because the things in the box can only be owned or used by humans.
If Zhou Wen had opened the box before, the things inside would most likely have been taken away by Lord Di.
Now that he no longer has a human body, Lord Di has lost the qualification to obtain the things in the box, and the threat to Zhou Wen is much smaller.
However, judging from what Lord Di said, the truth of the matter should be more complicated than Zhou Wen had previously thought.
It is very likely that the woman who came by boat is also involved. Maybe the human body of Lord Di was created by that woman, and there is some kind of agreement between the two of them.
"A man like you, Lord Di, naturally keeps his word. Since you said you would settle the score with my father and me later, you shouldn't make things difficult for me today, right?" Zhou Wen was unwilling to fight to the death with Lord Di right now.
"Try saying another word of nonsense?" Lord Di was obviously in a bad mood.
Zhou Wen smiled and said nothing more. He took out the key, inserted it into the lock of the jade box, and gently turned the key.
Lord Di and Zhou Wen were both stunned, because Zhou Wen used force several times but the key didn't move at all.
"Did you really use the key to open this box?" Zhou Wen looked at Lord Di.
Lord Di's face looked a little strange. He asked Zhou Wen to pull out the key, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then returned it to Zhou Wen and asked Zhou Wen to try again.
The result was the same. No matter how hard Zhou Wen tried, the key couldn't open the jade box.
"How could it be... Impossible..." Lord Di looked incredulous.
"It seems that I can't help you anymore, so I'll give it back to you." Zhou Wen threw the key to Lord Di.
In fact, Zhou Wen had already guessed that he would most likely not be able to open the jade box, because he was not the Earth Companion Pet that Emperor said.
If he was the Earth's companion pet, how could the prisoner not have sensed it at the time? After all, he was once the Earth's companion pet, so it was impossible for him not to notice it at all.
"This is impossible. You are the Earth's companion pet, so you should be able to open it, unless... it's impossible... If you are not the baby taken away by Zhou Lingfeng, how could you have practiced the Mysterious Immortal Sutra..." Lord Di obviously figured out some of the key points, but not completely.
However, Zhou Wen had already figured it out. Zhou Lingfeng had not lied to him. He and An Jing had indeed switched places. If nothing unexpected happened, An Jing was the Earth's companion pet.
What Zhou Wen couldn't understand was what method Zhou Lingfeng used to hide the truth from the world. Even the Lord Emperor didn't notice anything.
"What a Zhou Lingfeng! He really went to great lengths to prevent me from escaping!" Lord Di seemed to have figured everything out and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He was born at the end of the world and was almost invincible throughout his life. His only defeat was at the hands of an unimaginable person, and that person died as a result.
Now he was being plotted against by mere humans, which made Lord Di feel extremely ashamed and humiliated.
"Lord Di, what is going on? One person has a short view and two people have a long view. Tell me and let's analyze it together. I am still confused." Zhou Wen asked pretending to be ignorant.
"You are the scapegoat Zhou Lingfeng found. What qualifications do you have to speak sarcastically here?" Lord Di said coldly.
"You mean to say that my father asked me to die for Earth's companion pet?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"Humph, you still call me dad and take a thief as your father. You are really hopelessly stupid. If you are really the biological son of that shameless Zhou Lingfeng, how could he let you be a scapegoat and hide the real Earth companion pet." Lord Di looked at Zhou Wen as if he was looking at an idiot.
"But I don't understand, why you are not the Earth's companion pet, but you can practice the Mysterious Immortal Scripture? This is impossible." Lady Di looked Zhou Wen up and down. She still hasn't figured out this question.
"Why not? Didn't you say that the Earth's companion pet is a human? I am also a human. Didn't Jing Daoxian also master the Mixian Sutra?" Zhou Wen said.
"Is the thing he practices worthy of being called the Mixian Sutra?" Lord Di said disdainfully, "They're both stones, how can granite be compared to diamond?"
"Maybe I am the stone that is more similar to diamond?" Zhou Wen said.
"Go away. This is the greatest shame I have ever experienced in my life. However, even if there is no Earth companion pet to take the thing away, breaking the ban is only a matter of time. In no more than a year, this thing will come out naturally, and my oath will be broken. Then I will see how Zhou Lingfeng will stop me." Lord Di sat back on the box, closed his eyes and ignored Zhou Wen.
Seeing that Lord Di no longer paid attention to him, Zhou Wen glanced at Jing Daoxian's body and said, "I'll take his body away."
Seeing that Lord Emperor still had no intention of paying attention to him, Zhou Wen picked up Jing Daoxian's body and walked out.
When a person dies, all debts are settled. He is already dead, so there is nothing to worry about. Liuyun is still waiting outside. After all, this is his only relative. Bring his body to Liuyun and let him bury it.
After leaving the Nuwa Temple, I saw Liuyun still guarding outside the door.
When Liuyun saw Jing Daoxian's body, his face suddenly changed.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to return the body to Liuyun and explain what had happened, he suddenly felt the body in his hand move.
Zhou Wen was startled and threw the body to the ground.
I saw a crack on the back of the shriveled corpse, and something was wriggling inside, tearing the crack bit by bit and crawling out.
First a finger, then the entire palm, an arm emerged from it, then the head and body.
A young, smaller version of Jingdaoxian, with a body as delicate as a baby, crawled out from inside, leaving only a strange, empty skin bag underground.
"You're not dead?" Zhou Wen looked at the young version of Jing Daoxian in surprise.
"The Scripture of Bewitching Immortals, the Scripture of Bewitching Immortals, if a mere immortal cannot be deceived, how can it be called the Scripture of Bewitching Immortals? Naturally, I, an old man, will not die so easily." Not only did Jing Daoxian's body become that of a teenager, his voice also became very childish, like a child whose voice has not changed. The tone of his voice was totally inconsistent with that of the child, and it sounded very strange.
"Jing Daoxian is worthy of being Jing Daoxian!" Zhou Wen couldn't help but admire him secretly. None of the old guys who were able to dominate the Federation back then were easy to deal with.
Only now did Zhou Wen understand why Jing Daoxian had to bring Liuyun here to guard the gate. It seemed unnecessary before, but now it seemed to be a very shrewd move.
