Deer tracks passed by at night
Shen Qiexing smashed the teacup with a single palm strike and shouted sharply, "Do you think I came here to drink tea?!"
The scalding tea inevitably splashed onto the Soul Master's aged hand. He wasn't angry; he just muttered to himself, "What a pity about this tea."
Tell me the truth about what happened back then!
Shen Qie stepped forward, a shard of ice forming in his palm, which he pressed against the Soul Master's neck: "I know you have a way to break free from the control of the Word of Power. I want you to release the Word of Power now and tell me why you united the three races to slaughter my people back then!"
He immediately saw the portrait of the Xuanhai Dragon God on the table behind the Soul Master, and burst into tears.
How many years has it been since he last saw his father...?
Even if it's just a portrait.
"Soul Master, why are you being so hypocritical?" Shen Qiexing's lips curled up, he let out two bitter laughs, while tears streamed down his face. "Do you think that by doing this my father will forgive you, forgive the Spirit Clan!"
"I never thought of begging for his forgiveness," the Soul Master said with a faint smile, his body shrouded in sorrow. "The tragedy has already happened. I knew you would come looking for me and avenge the dragon clan."
"It's not just your Spirit Clan!" Shen Qiexing roared, "The Phoenix Clan and the Forest Clan, they all deserved it!"
A tear welled up in the Soul Master's eyes, and his lips trembled as he asked, "...The Forest Clan?"
"Child, why do you seek revenge against the Forest Clan? That massacre back then had absolutely nothing to do with the Forest Clan..."
Has absolutely no connection to the Forest Clan?
Shen Qiexing staggered back two steps, his vision blurring in waves. He closed his eyes and placed his hand on the table.
He could barely hear his own voice; the world was spinning, as if he were lying on the clouds.
"How could this be? How could this be? Are you lying to me?"
Was this the question he asked? He didn't know. He couldn't hear any of the sounds around him clearly. His eyes seemed to be covered by a veil. He vaguely saw the Soul Master walk up to him and hold his arm. He tried to shake him off, but he couldn't muster any strength.
The cool liquid slid down the side of my face, dripping down my chin in a series.
"Why would I lie to you?" The Soul Master's eyes suddenly reddened. "King Sen was only forced by Phoenix to sign the Word of Power. On the battlefield back then, King Sen not only did not slaughter any dragons, but he even pleaded for their lives!"
"But I clearly saw the Sand Tang Tree, which only the Forest Clan grows in the Heavenly Female Sea!"
If the Sen tribe hadn't participated in that massacre, then what he did two years ago was nothing.
He didn't want to believe it, and he dared not believe it.
“That’s because,” the Soul Master’s voice trembled, his eyelids twitching, “that on the eve of the great battle, the Forest King used the sandalwood that would never rot as a vessel to convey a message to the Xuanhai Dragon God.”
"Stop now, it's not too late."
"Stop?" Shen Qiexing's eyes widened, his face filled with tears. "Stop what... What did Father do?"
Seeing that the Soul Master remained silent, he understood.
It's that spell power again!
"I do have a way to break the spell of words, but not now."
Shen Qiexing's mind was in turmoil. He remained silent for a moment, then said to the Soul Master, "Alright, I'll give you some more time. I won't kill you for now, until you come to me in person."
"Don't even think about escaping, you can't escape my grasp."
Just as he stepped out of the palace, a choked "I'm sorry" came from behind him, but he didn't even stop and left the underworld.
—
Lu Yixin coldly touched the broken white bone on her forearm and breathed a barely perceptible breath.
She didn't know what she looked like now; she couldn't see. Her eyes had been gouged out by the Phoenix Maiden the very first day she was thrown into this prison.
The pain was amplified countless times. The Phoenix Maiden used a secret technique on her, so that any movement she made, even something as simple as swallowing saliva, would trigger excruciating pain.
So it turns out you just can't get used to it...
These days, no matter how much blood she smeared on the bracelet Yun Xinglan gave her, she couldn't contact him. This made Lu Yixin a little worried. She was afraid that Yun Xinglan would do something foolish for her sake, and she didn't want anyone else to fall into dire straits because of her.
In any case, there is always good news.
At least she won't die.
She will not die until Brother Qiexing appears; the Phoenix Maiden needs her life to restrain Brother Qiexing.
This means that she still had the chance to tell him she liked him before she died.
But she was about to lose this opportunity.
"Please, please don't!"
"My Lord, please don't pull out my tongue! I beg you, my Lord, I beg you..."
The Phoenix Maiden gripped her chin tightly, forcing her to open her mouth. She shook her head back and forth desperately, crying out incessantly.
"You think you can just say no and then not? You're ignoring what I say, aren't you?" The Phoenix Maiden leaned close to her ear and chuckled softly. "You're so noisy, aren't you?"
"Qian Shuang".
Ling Qian Shuang immediately understood, walked over and pressed down on Lu Yi Xin's body, smearing her hand with blood.
She must have bled to death.
Ling Qian Shuang was not a heartless person. Sometimes she would feel sorry for them, but whenever she thought about how the Phoenix Clan members and her relatives were killed by Shen Qie Xing, who was on good terms with Lu Yi Xin, she felt that her so-called reluctance was a joke.
Just as the God said, why is Lu Yixin still alive?
The Phoenix Maiden picked up the golden scissors she had prepared beforehand and stabbed them hard into her mouth!
"Aren't you... afraid that the Sen Clan... will come after you?" Lu Yixin said indistinctly, enduring the excruciating pain.
"Then let the Forest Clan come!" The Phoenix Maiden grinned maliciously, her eyes filled with madness. "Do you think I'm afraid of a mere Forest Clan!"
"King Sen has already opposed me once, and he has paid a heavy price for his actions. If he has the guts, let him try again! Come on!"
Grandpa, Brother Qiexing... someone please save her, anyone will do, please come and save her...
She was once again tossed aside by the Phoenix Maiden like a lifeless, tattered rag doll.
"Take her away."
"yes."
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock—
It's raining.
Rainwater swept in through the iron bars of the window, and the cold raindrops hit Lu Yixin. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her consciousness finally returned to her body.
Blood was still seeping from her mouth, and she choked on the large amount of blood, coughing violently twice.
"ah......"
Without her tongue, she couldn't utter a single word, only producing meaningless syllables. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and spit out the remaining blood in her mouth.
Brother Qiexing, it's better not to come.
The Phoenix Maiden will use her to threaten his life.
Thinking of this, Lu Yixin suddenly felt a little panicked. What made Huang Nu think that she could definitely threaten him?
Brother Qiexing... doesn't like me.
He was using her from beginning to end, and now that she's no longer of any use to him, she's no longer of any use to him.
But even though she knew perfectly well that she was just a tool to be used, why did she still fall in love with him?
Why?
As her tears dried along with her blood, Lu Yixin realized that she could no longer even cry.
The rain intensified, and she used her broken arm to hug her shattered knees, shrinking herself into a corner to try and keep the rain out of her wounds.
However, under such circumstances, it was really difficult to avoid infection. She burned again and again, to the point that her exposed skin could almost ignite the dry grass beneath her. She almost thought she was going to die, but each time she was saved by the Phoenix Maiden.
The word "save" is not quite appropriate here.
Lu Yixin couldn't feel her fingers, so she could only count with her heavy head. This was the fifth day, which meant she had two days to catch her breath.
Every five days, Huang Sheng needed to be given medicine. Huang Nu would stay by Huang Sheng's side for a full twenty-four hours without leaving her side. During this time, only Ling Qian Shuang and a small team guarded her outside the Heavenly Prison.
She could only use these two days to heal her wounds.
However, the injuries were too severe, and she had only learned a rudimentary understanding of healing techniques, so it was only better than nothing.
In any case, she is much better than Huang Sheng.
At that time, Huang Sheng could no longer be called human; only a pool of flesh and bones remained on the bed, a horrifying sight.
But Huang Nu told her that her brother had only used three-tenths of his strength.
With just a fraction of his strength, he was able to turn Huang Sheng into this state.
Even if Yun Xinglan is the Phoenix Clan's number one Golden Crow Guard, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand even one of his attacks.
In just two years, he has grown at an incredible pace.
As drowsiness overcame her, Lu Yixin couldn't tell if she was unconscious or just simply sleepy. In any case, she couldn't hold on for even a second longer, and she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep again.
At least in her dreams, she can escape the pain.
At least in her dreams, she could briefly meet her grandfather, her brother Shixu, and her brother Qiexing.
At least in my dreams...
So the girl leaned against the bricks, and in the midst of a deep sleep, she smiled and died silently on an ordinary night of the Lesser Fullness of Grain.
—
My heart suddenly started pounding violently.
Shen Qiexing assumed that he had almost gone mad from practicing his cultivation, so he calmed his breathing and stopped using his internal energy.
Baozhu squatted beside him. At first, she said she would protect him, but in the following days she simply fell into a deep sleep. Shen Qiexing nudged her back with his knee and said, "I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Baozhu rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. "Your Majesty, are you finished your seclusion?"
“Hmm,” Shen Qiexing said calmly, “I’m going out.”
Baozhu's eyes widened, but before she could say anything, Shen Qiexing added, "It's just going out for some fresh air, don't overthink it."
That's more like it. As the overlord of the Heavenly Female Sea, what's the point of the God Venerable always assigning her work?
Seeing that the deity looked displeased, Baozhu said, "Worried deity, you look very unwell. Could it be that something has gone wrong?"
This time he went into seclusion for a full seven days and seven nights. Baozhu had never seen him go into seclusion for such a long time before, so it was inevitable that she would worry.
"It's alright."
He was very flustered.
The panic I couldn't suppress was a panic I'd never felt before, as if I'd lost a very important treasure or a very important person.
Perhaps he's overthinking it...
He's been dealing with so many things lately, his mind is full of too much stuff, he's exhausted, and it's hard for him to process all of this in a short time, yet he really can't let it go, it's all stuck in his chest.
As the sun sets high in the sky, red clouds drift gently by, and the sea surface is gilded with a layer of gold. Shen Qiexing sits on the reef, gazing casually at the point where the sea meets the sky, when suddenly his brows furrow slightly.
Someone is coming.
"God, go!"
