In Li Rulan's mind, there emerged a scene of a woman in red being torn to pieces by the seven old monks and then being eaten alive by them.
Then, he heard Zhou Wusheng continue, "They tore off the master's arms one by one from her sacred fire body. The falling flames ignited the earth... I don't know how these seven beasts managed to withstand the flames and absorb all that power..."
Li Rulan then realized that he seemed to be wrong.
Si Yan doesn't seem to be a strange humanoid.
Judging from Zhou Wusheng's description, Si Yan seems to be a ball of fire with many arms.
"When I woke up, I was already suppressed underground."
"The corruption escaped from their arrangements. And they, carrying the heads of their collaborators and emptying their masters' wealth, went to confess their crimes to the corruption."
"But this corrupted being actually forgave them!!! And even shared the master's power with them!!"
“They are in cahoots!!”
Li Rulan asked, "Could it be that the Corruption is afraid of their methods?"
"They have no tricks!"
"Weren't you suppressed? Why do you know all this?" Li Rulan asked again.
"Zhai Yang told me..."
"Isn't he the mastermind? Aren't you afraid that he will deceive you?"
Zhou Wusheng snorted softly and said, "No one in this world can lie to me! Not even Zhai Yang, and not even you."
"Can you tell whether a person is lying or not?!" Li Rulan asked in surprise.
"That's natural."
Li Rulan was skeptical.
Thinking back carefully, he realized that he had just told the truth and had not deceived him. The information he used to deceive Zhou Wusheng was also obtained from the old monks outside. As the person who relayed the information, Li Rulan naturally did not lie.
Could it be that because he really has that ability, he believed in me and told me about Si Yan?
A loyal and upright weirdo with the power to see through lies seems... reasonable?
"I didn't know how long I stayed underground. Later, they dug me out and threw me into this darkness."
"They don't dare to kill me. If they kill me, they will die too..."
"Look, another one died, hehehe..."
Li Rulan felt that the presence of one more old monk outside the door had disappeared.
However, after the old monk died, the Qijun they controlled did not react at all. It seemed that they were relatively independent.
"I've been here for a long, long time..." Zhou Wusheng's tone was filled with a sense of relief. "One day, they built this wooden house and moved me in. Then, they started moving in one by one."
“At the beginning, they were still coming in and out, and Qi Jun would appear from time to time.”
"Gradually, the frequency of their leaving here has decreased, and matters outside should gradually be handed over to Qi Jun to take care of."
"Then, they became like me, no longer able to go out, no longer able to leave this darkness! Hahahaha!"
"They thought I was too talkative, so they tied my mouth."
"Hehehe, then, they stayed here with me! They have all the skills but nowhere to use them! They can only sit here in boredom!! Endure time!! Suffer! Torment!!"
Li Rulan probably understood what was going on: the so-called immortality was a curse.
A crack suddenly appeared on Zhou Wusheng's face.
"You don't have much time left." Li Rulan said.
"That's enough, that's enough." Zhou Wusheng moved his mouth, stretching the muscles on his face. This movement widened the crack a little. However, he didn't seem to care.
"That's not enough for me," Li Rulan sighed. "Do you remember where your master captured those strange lords?"
"I don't know." Zhou Wusheng replied.
After a pause, Zhou Wusheng asked again: "How should I call you?"
"My last name is Li."
"Fellow Daoist Li, thank you very much."
After Zhou Wusheng said this, his entire face instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
His body fell straight to the floor and broke into the same pieces.
Zhou Wusheng is dead.
At this moment, the aura of the few remaining old monks who were still struggling to survive outside the door disappeared.
All dead.
Even Li Rulan hadn't figured out which one of them was called Zhai Yang.
"Senior Li, this..."
Li Rulan opened a hole in the floor of the room, which went all the way to the ground. Then, he used the wind to scoop up Zhou Wusheng's remains, removed the cloth strips, and put them inside.
This cave is Zhou Wusheng's tomb.
Then, Li Rulan sent out a strong wind, which destroyed the wooden house, removed the beams, and cut out a piece of wood, which he inserted in front of the grave. The wind gathered on the wood and carved a line of words on it.
"The tomb of Zhou Wusheng, Si Yan's loyal servant."
Zhenlu stood aside, trembling. He and the other bound Qijun dared not breathe, and even dared not look at this terrifying foreign cultivator.
Their ancestors are all dead!!!
And this foreign monk didn’t even break a sweat!!!
Ao Wen, this beast!!!
Li Rulan recalled Zhou Wusheng's description of Si Yan.
Once you know her name, will her inheritance come to you?
interesting……
Li Rulan suddenly saw that in the darkness outside, there was a discordant glimmer of light.
And this glimmer of light was something he hadn't noticed just now!
