What an overwhelming sense of oppression! That was my first reaction!
The soldiers continued to strike the ground with their spears, making a "dududu" sound.
But I remained unmoved!
I sensed a familiar aura emanating from the soldier and the figure above.
Yes, that's exactly the smell of those cats I saw before.
At first I didn't pay attention, but as I walked past it, I felt that the smell was becoming more and more familiar, and that it was from the same source.
Those people still made me kneel down, but this time, I didn't back down and walked straight past them.
The soldiers parted to make way.
The surrounding environment became extremely dark, and a cold wind kept blowing.
"Die! Die! Die!"
The soldiers stared at me with bloodshot eyes, their tone growing increasingly harsh, their previous kneeling now replaced by a death wish.
"Master Chen, don't fight them head-on! Let's stop!"
The head of the Huang family behind me kept reminding me, and after listening, I hesitated a bit.
The soldiers all had their eyes on me at the same time, which made me a little uneasy.
I gripped the Thunderstrike Sword tightly. To be honest, since I retrieved a portion of the Earth Soul, I have indeed experienced things I had never experienced before. However, this has also brought me inexplicable troubles.
"Master, go upstairs and sit next to that guy!"
Lightning Sword's words made me feel a bit crazy.
Damn it, everyone knows that the person at the very top of this hall is the strongest, and the oppressive feeling from the surrounding soldiers is so strong, and that's just because I didn't kneel down.
It's easy to imagine that if someone went up directly to that person, it would be a blatant offense.
After hesitating for a moment, I gritted my teeth and chose to trust Lei Jijian. After all, we had been fighting side by side for a long time. Although Lei Jijian betrayed me when we first entered the courtyard, I could understand the situation at that time.
Just as I took my second step, Ji Xinglan stood up.
"Uncle Chen, no!"
Ji Xinglan shouted it out directly. I was a little confused as to why Ji Xinglan didn't just use that kind of telepathy, just like I did with Lei Jijian.
Crack!
With a series of booming sounds, the spears held by the two guards standing on either side of the throne changed into something resembling scepters.
Immediately afterwards, a pale blue energy blast shot out from the scepter, blasting Ji Xinglan into dust right before my eyes.
I was dumbfounded, Lao Dao was dumbfounded, and Luo Tianhe and the others were dumbfounded too.
The process happens in an instant, with almost no reaction time.
"Fuck your mother!"
I couldn't help but curse.
It's not that I have any deep feelings for Ji Xinglan, but rather that Ji Xinglan and I are symbiotic; if Ji Xinglan dies, I will die too.
"Old Chen!" Luo Tianhe shouted hysterically.
Ant and Old Knife were both calling for me, but Song Chao didn't move. Song Chao must be terrified right now.
I suddenly realized that after Ji Xinglan turned to ashes, my body had not changed at all.
Could it be that Ji Xinglan and I are not some kind of symbiotic entity?
Or, to put it another way, it's possible that the person who just died wasn't Ji Xinglan; that Ji Xinglan didn't die at all.
I stared at the ashes, but unfortunately, I didn't see a single sign of life.
The pit left by Ji Xinglan proves that Ji Xinglan must be dead beyond any doubt.
"Come on up!"
A voice came from the throne. It was strange; I felt it was a boy, but the voice was that of a girl. Now I have no way of knowing the other person's gender.
"Come on up, come on up, come on up!"
The soldiers continued shouting.
I straightened up involuntarily.
This time, I gritted my teeth and went straight up there.
Sure enough, I had no trouble at all along the way, and the soldiers did not stop me at all.
The closer I got to the person on the throne, the closer I became, and only then did I see the person's face – it really was a girl.
The fog dissipated, revealing a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and was very beautiful.
I was so lost in thought that I couldn't find the words to describe it.
Most importantly, this girl possesses a special aura, a unique regal presence.
I hesitated for a moment, but then moved a little closer.
"Sit down!" The girl's eyes were bright as she tilted her head and looked at me, which made my scalp tingle and my body tremble slightly.
I adjusted my mindset and moved closer to the girl. The girl shifted her position to the side, making room for me.
"elder brother."
"sit."
The girl's sweet voice, with a touch of coquettishness, made my heart flutter.
To be honest, the girl's heavenly voice really excited me; it was almost beyond my control.
My toes slipped forward, and I found myself sitting next to the girl.
The girl's call of "brother" just now made my heart flutter like a deer.
After I sat down, the girl used her slender hands to straighten my clothes.
Actually, I still had the cat's scent on me, and at that moment, the girl put her nose close to my clothes, greedily inhaling the scent.
I sat on that dragon throne, my body frozen in place. I didn't dare to move, afraid that I might be killed by the two guards next to the girl if I wasn't careful.
However, my eyes remained fixed on the two guards, and they didn't even glance at me.
He simply stood there calmly, sketching below and monitoring Luo Tianhe and the others' movements.
"Brother, don't be afraid. I've already eliminated the hidden threat for you. You don't have to worry about that woman anymore!"
Just as I was feeling extremely uneasy, the girl spoke again, and I was shocked when I heard it.
No more worrying about that woman? The woman the girl was referring to must be Ji Xinglan.
But to be honest, I never worried that Ji Xinglan would cause me any trouble.
If I had to name it, it would be a symbiote.
"Brother may not know, but that woman has been devouring your life. If we don't intervene soon, you won't have much of a chance to live!"
The girl's soft voice made every organ in my body stand up.
When I heard what the girl said, I frowned slightly.
I never imagined that Ji Xinglan had been devouring my life all along.
"That's right! It was because that woman was draining my brother's life force that I chose to kill her!"
The girl raised her head and stared at me with her big, watery eyes. I looked at her face; it was so tender, it seemed like I could squeeze water out of it.
The girl's words sent shockwaves through my heart; I never imagined the truth would be like this!
