Chapter 372 It’s Him
"How do you know how many hours I have left?" Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised.
That day at the Duke of England's mansion, before she drove Mu out, she only said that the body parts were her body from her first life, and that she could only survive if she found the remaining four pieces.
It was only after Mu left that she told everyone that she only had a few days left to live.
Logically speaking, even if Mu Shi went to tell Jiang Chenyu, she would at most tell him about the dismemberment of the body, and she would not know that she was cursed and would not survive New Year's Eve.
Jiang Chenyu would definitely tell Zhan Yuyang, but they couldn't possibly know that much.
How did Concubine Li know that she didn’t have much time left to live?
"Because you are cursed, you will never live past the age of 22 in your lifetime. There are still more than two hours left, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year." Concubine Li said with a smile.
"How do you know this?" Jiang Yunxi's face suddenly turned cold. The people around her would not reveal it to Concubine Li, so she could only say that she discovered it herself.
"I can see that." Concubine Li said meaningfully.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yunxi asked coldly.
Concubine Li had a charming smile on her face. "Don't worry about who I am. I just want to support my son to move into the East Palace and let him become the emperor of Tenglong Kingdom."
"So you were the one who harmed the emperor?" Jiang Yunxi asked after thinking about something.
"As long as the retired emperor is alive, the emperor will always sit on the throne. Only when the retired emperor dies will the emperor abdicate, and only then will my son have a chance." Concubine Li admitted.
There's nothing to hide at this point.
"So that's how it is. You want Zhan Yuyang to become emperor. Fair competition means you shouldn't kill Zhou Yun and her two children, letting them harm the virtuous king, and finally puppet him." Jiang Yunxi said expressionlessly.
She will not stop anyone from fighting for anything, as long as it is fair and just and does not harm innocent people.
"Fairness? Where in the world is there fairness?" The smile on Concubine Li's face disappeared, her expression gradually became distorted, and her eyes were extremely resentful.
"You can't do evil just because there is no fairness." Jiang Yunxi said. She couldn't refute that the world is fair because she knew that many people had suffered unfairness.
But even if she encountered this, she would not do evil and harm innocent people.
If everyone thought and acted like Concubine Li, wouldn't the world become a hell?
All she can do is to do her best to help those who suffer unfairly and teach them to be good. Only in this way can the world become better and better.
Concubine Li had a mocking smile on her face. "Don't advise others to be kind unless you have experienced their suffering."
"I don't care what injustice you have suffered. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. It is your fault if you hurt innocent people!" Jiang Yunxi said in a deep voice.
Being treated unfairly is not a reason for her to do evil.
Concubine Li sneered, "No one can stop my son from ascending the throne, not even you."
Jiang Yunxi drew the Demon-Slaying Sword from her back. She had to get permission to bring weapons into the palace. Ever since she broke the formation of the altar that night, Emperor Su Ming had become more easy to talk to.
"Demon-Slaying Sword, I'm not a demon, it's useless to me." Concubine Li had a look of disdain on her face and didn't take Jiang Yunxi seriously at all.
"Do you know the first high priest king of Nanman?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
Concubine Li smiled, "Want to know? I won't tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from her body.
"So you know some secret technique. No wonder you can always maintain your youthful appearance." Jiang Yunxi knew at a glance what secret technique she was using. This Concubine Li's background was indeed not simple.
Knowing that she was cursed not to live past the age of twenty-two, she must not be an ordinary person.
"Yes, you were the ones who angered me first." Concubine Li said sternly, raising her hand and slapping Jiang Yunxi fiercely.
Jiang Yunxi put the Demon-Slaying Sword back, put his hands together and quickly formed a seal. In an instant, power surged around him and a fiery red fire phoenix appeared.
"Chaos Phoenix Art, how could you, how could you know this!" Concubine Li's face was filled with fear when she saw the fiery red phoenix.
Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow: "You actually know this, you are indeed not an ordinary mortal."
Concubine Li quickly put away her secret technique and turned around to run.
Jiang Yunxi naturally wouldn't let her run away. She raised her right hand to release the power. Now her right hand was no longer mortal flesh, but had the power to break the corpse into pieces.
No matter how fast Concubine Li ran, she was still restrained by that force.
"You, you..." Concubine Li's face was full of horror.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards her and asked, "Who do you know who knows the Chaos Phoenix Art?"
"I don't know her. I only know that people who use the Chaos Phoenix Art are very powerful." Concubine Li didn't dare to look at Jiang Yunxi. Her face was full of fear and anxiety, and she was very nervous.
How could Jiang Yunxi know the Chaos Phoenix Art?
She and that person... Could it be that she is that person's reincarnation?
Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help trembling.
Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow. After hearing this, she became even more curious about who she was in her first life. "Is she a god?"
Concubine Li shook her head. "She is not a god. She is a being beyond God."
Jiang Yunxi didn't expect her guess to be right. She had thought the same thing before. "Who are you? How do you know I'm cursed and won't live past the age of 22?"
"I used to be a descendant of a cursed family. After I fully awakened, I could tell at a glance that you were hit by the withering curse. This curse can lock a person's lifespan at a certain time, for generations to come." Concubine Li did not dare to hide it.
Although she knew that even if she told the truth, Jiang Yunxi would not let her go.
But thinking that she was the reincarnation of that person, she didn't dare to struggle at all.
If she had known earlier... she would probably never have dared to stand against her.
"How do I break the curse?" Jiang Yunxi looked at her right hand. She thought that if she could merge the fragments of her former body, she would be able to break the curse. It was probably after her death that her opponent took the opportunity to cast the curse.
"Kill the person who cast the curse, and, and..." Concubine Li didn't know what to say.
"Another possibility is that if I find the other four pieces of corpse and fuse them together, I can break the withering curse you mentioned, right?" Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Concubine Li was slightly startled, then nodded.
She didn't know that the body parts belonged to that person. If she had known, she would never have opposed her.
"Did you fully awaken after going under the altar?" Jiang Yunxi asked. It was probably at that time that she found a skeleton.
"Yes, on the night when you broke the altar formation, I took advantage of the chaos and went there secretly." Concubine Li did not hide it. She had taken a fancy to a skeleton at that time and wanted to use it to cultivate an avatar.
Jiang Yunxi understood. So that's how it was. She then said that there was a formation there before and that's how she got in.
"Do you know the first High Priest King of Nanman?"
"I don't know him."
"That night I met a man in a black robe holding a scepter in a yard in the south of the city. He said that someone didn't want Zhan Yanzhi to be alive, so he sent the ghost to find Zhan Yanzhi." Jiang Yunxi said slowly.
"It's the person that the Lu family's ancestor is looking for." Concubine Li said quickly.
"It's really him. He's from the Lu family?" Jiang Yunxi had long guessed that it was the ancestor of the Lu family. It seemed that he was also a believer of the High Priest King.
"He is not from the Lu family, but he once helped the ancestors of the Lu family, so the Lu family has always respectfully called him the ancestor." Concubine Li said truthfully without hiding anything.
Jiang Yunxi stared at Concubine Li and asked, "Which realm was your cursed family from?"
