As soon as Xu Mu and the others stepped into the ruins, they found themselves in front of a grassland.
The grass grows to ankle height, meaning there's practically no way to hide in this area.
"This is an array. Just as I thought, the King Soul's purpose was to lure me here and kill me."
Xu Mu turned around and looked at the entrance they had come in through, only to find that it had disappeared.
Yang Lielan turned around and looked at him, then asked, "Who exactly are you? Why would Wang Hun want to kill you?"
"because……"
"Because I like to nip danger in the bud, and Xu Mu is a threat to me, so of course I have to get rid of him as soon as possible."
Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses appeared in the far distance.
"Wang Hun! It really is you! I'll kill you!"
Upon seeing the man before him, Yang Lielan immediately unleashed his power.
However, Xu Mu reached out to stop her, "He is not a real person, just a simple projection array. However, this also proves one thing: the King's Soul is indeed in this ruin."
"Xu Mu, you are very smart."
Wang Hun said calmly, "I am inside this ruin, and I can see you and communicate with you."
"Wang Hun, don't try to fool me. I dared to come in with my level of cultivation, why don't you come out and die?"
Xu Mu sneered at Wang Hun, "Or are you afraid of me?"
"Guoguo, you have really disappointed me. I gave you eyes that could see things clearly, but you betrayed me and joined my enemy."
Wang Hun did not answer Xu Mu, but looked at Tong Guoguo and said, "If you help me kill Xu Mu now, I can forgive you and let you stay by my side."
Yang Lie Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, never expecting that this red-haired woman was once a member of Wang Hun.
"Wang Hun! You have been lying to me from the beginning. I was just your experiment. All the hardships I suffered were because of you, while you pretended to be a saint and made me loyal to you."
Tong Guoguo clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the figure in the distance, her body trembling. "I've had enough! I've had enough!"
"Guoguo, it seems you already know everything. In a sense, I created you, and I am your father."
Wang Hun shook his head helplessly, "As a father, I really don't want to lay a hand on my own daughter."
"Wang Hun, stop pretending. What father would use his daughter as a guinea pig and implant materials into her body without her consent? Don't you know how great the risk of death is?"
Xu Mu placed his hand on Tong Guoguo's shoulder.
[Favorability +15]
Tong Guoguo lowered her head after hearing Xu Mu's words.
"Every great beginning is inseparable from sacrifice."
Wang Hun said calmly.
"I'll say it again: why don't you sacrifice yourself?"
Xu Mu sneered.
"Because I possess the knowledge to change the world, the identities of many people in this world were predetermined from the very beginning."
Wang Hun raised his hand and patted his chest. "I am destined to be the one who devises strategies from the rear, while Tong Guoguo is the soldier on the battlefield. Obeying orders is her duty. Just like in ancient siege warfare, those in the front line must die. If no one goes, what kind of war is there to fight?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mu clapped his hands with a smile, "Good! And then the siege is successful, with countless deaths and injuries, but the medal of honor will be hung on your King Soul, right?"
"This world has always been like this, hasn't it? You can only remember the generals who led the troops; how many names of the fallen soldiers can you remember?"
Wang Hun gently shook his head, "Guoguo is my most capable soldier. Guoguo, I really don't want to kill you. Come back."
"Well said. No wonder Guoguo was brainwashed by you. Let me ask you, if one day you, the strategist and general, become a pawn, will you accept your fate, or will you run away or rebel?"
Xu Mu smiled and looked at Wang Hun, "I believe you will choose the latter."
Tong Guoguo nodded to herself. Xu Mu was absolutely right, judging from her understanding of Wang Hun.
Wang Hun is an extremely selfish person; his life is the most important thing to him.
