Chapter 273 Surrender to Me
"You underestimate me. Not only am I proficient in formation and weapon refining, I am also good at talismans and swordsmanship. You came here for Lin Chong, so what is the relationship between you two?"
"We are brothers. During the great war between gods and demons, several of us were sent to deal with the most powerful demon, Xuwu. However, Xuwu was too powerful, and we were defeated and fled back. However, Xuwu took advantage of the opportunity and blew up a small world. Then, we were deposed and thrown into this world."
"I fell into the sea when I fell, and lived in the sea of consciousness of a giant whale. I was sent by the Dragon King to guard the evil spirit cave. But not long after, I found that my soul was infected by the dead water, and my soul turned into an evil spirit."
The old man seemed very tired, his voice was flat. Not only was he physically tired, but the series of accidents over the past ten thousand years had left him exhausted. He sat there with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Didn't anyone from the Dengtian Pavilion look for you?"
Zhong Ling'er's question was like a needle piercing the old man's heart, causing him to close his eyes in pain. He then said, "I looked for you, but when they found out that I had turned into an evil spirit, they gave up on me. Only my senior brother would come to see me occasionally. Oh, it's retribution. We ran away and gave up our responsibilities back then, and now they have given up on me too. I can only linger on like a half-human, half-ghost."
From what I hear, those Fallen Angels are a group of deserters!
Zhong Ling'er opened the bottle and let Lin Chong out.
"Junior brother? Why are you here?"
When Lin Chong saw the old man, he immediately rushed over, but stopped three steps away. It was obvious that he wanted to get closer, but was afraid of being contaminated by the evil spirit, so he didn't dare to go any further.
"He came to save you, but then I caught him. I didn't expect you two brothers to have such a deep bond. But I heard that your Dengtian Pavilion didn't want him, and your brother also gave up on him."
Lin Chong was excited, his face twisted, and he roared, "Nonsense, I didn't give up on my junior brother, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."
Zhong Linger raised her eyebrows, "You didn't give up on him, but for so many years, you were the ancestor of the Lin family, but he could only stay at the bottom of the sea, struggling to survive among the evil spirits."
"If you didn't give up on him, you should have brought him back to the Ascension Tower, and everyone should have worked together to find a way to help him. But you didn't do that. You just secretly looked at him occasionally. What is that? Pity or charity?"
"Now he was almost beaten to death for saving you, and you don't dare to hug him. Oh, it's so sad."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Chong's handsome face, and he suddenly opened his arms and hugged the old man.
The old man struggled to move aside and shouted, "Brother, don't do that. She is...stimulating you."
But he only moved a little and was hugged by his senior brother, with a tear flowing from his eyes.
Lin Chong also shed tears, with a guilty look on his face, "Junior brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't dislike you. I should have done this a long time ago, but I was too cowardly and I didn't dare to resist them."
Zhong Ling'er clenched her hands into cat fists, her eyes sparkling with little red hearts, and she leaned close to Qingxuan and whispered, "I'm so touched. I love this kind of drama where brothers resolve misunderstandings and fall in love."
Qingxuan, who was originally somewhat moved, shuddered, with a look of disbelief on his face. A deep love? Aren’t they brothers? Could there be other feelings?
The senior brother pushed Lin Chong away, looked at Zhong Ling'er and said, "Now we are all in your hands. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
There was no more drama to watch, so Zhong Ling'er took out her mace and pounded it on the ground. "It's not about what I want to do, but whether you want to live or not. If you submit to me and listen to me from now on, then you are my own people. I will treat you well and remove the evil spirit from you. But if you refuse to submit, I will beat you to death. Make your choice."
"Submission? Although we are Fallen Angels, we cannot be controlled by a monk from the lower world like you! Why don't we talk about the terms?"
The old man answered first and blocked the somewhat tempted Lin Chong behind him. He obviously didn't want his senior brother to surrender for him.
Zhong Ling'er glanced at Qingxuan who had said something similar. Is it possible that the gods' sense of superiority is ingrained in their bones? That's really unacceptable.
Qing Xuan touched his nose and turned his face away. Zhong Ling'er showed a sinister smile, "Don't mention fallen gods to me. Haven't you heard the saying that a phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken? You are not gods to me, but two dying souls. Therefore, you are not qualified to negotiate with me. If you submit to me, you can all live. Otherwise, you can only be used as nutrients for my Canghai."
"Cang Hai, do you want to taste Lin Chong? Eat him first."
The old man didn't expect Zhong Ling'er to turn so ruthless and kill him directly, so he immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, if you force us to surrender, we are not sincere to you, and we are useless to you. But if you let my brother go, I will do my best to help you do anything you want. You will get a sincere subordinate."
"But I can obviously get both. Why should I accept your conditions? As for getting you to do something sincerely, that's also very simple. I just need to use one to threaten the other, and you will obey me, right?"
The old man was speechless. Zhong Ling'er had grasped their weak spot and did not give them any chance to say no. She had obviously calculated that they would only agree to this option. They all wanted to live. They had struggled to survive for tens of thousands of years. How could they be willing to die easily?
The two had no choice but to lower their heads. Zhong Linger pointed at Qingxuan with a smile and said, "You will listen to him from now on. He is your boss."
Qingxuan laughed. Did he have two more younger brothers? He wondered what use Zhong Ling'er had for keeping them.
"What will Dengtian Pavilion do next? Will they come to the South China Sea to cause trouble?"
Lin Chong shook his head, and then looked at Zhong Ling'er deeply. "After they saw the copper-scaled snake, they knew that someone from the underworld had come, so they all stayed away from the South China Sea. Moreover, they did not want this world to perish, so not only did they not cause trouble, they also asked their subordinates to help as much as possible."
"As for what we are going to do, we have to open the passage to heaven and escape from here before this world perishes. You have seen the Dingkun Pearl in the Dragon King's hand. This is the key to opening the passage to heaven. There are twelve of these beads in total. We have collected six in the past ten thousand years. There are still six left, and Taiqiong Sect also has one."
"Originally, we were determined to get the one from Taiqiong Sect, but something went wrong. We have now put the plan on hold. If the matter in the South China Sea is settled, we will first take the one in the hands of the Dragon King."
Taiqiong Sect also has Dingkun Pearl? Zhong Linger felt bad.
These Dingkun beads all come with a mission. The Dinghun beads guard the South China Sea and have been invaded by evil spirits for thousands of years. The inside of the bead is in ruins. If the Taiqiong Sect also has one, it means that the Taiqiong Sect is also facing a problem that is no less than the invasion of evil spirits!
