A hint of surprise flashed across Yi Changsheng's eyes, as if he hadn't expected that someone would still be able to call him by name after more than a hundred years.
"Ha, ha ha ha, I haven't heard the name Yi Changsheng in a long time. I really miss it. Nowadays, more people call me Chen Yongsheng." Yi Changsheng laughed and said, his gaze suddenly becoming sharper.
"Immortality, eternal life, you're really obsessed with life," Jiang Yuan said coldly.
All the names he chose were related to life, which means his weakness was his fear of death.
There's a saying that goes, "The more you fear something, the more you want it."
He was afraid of death, so he always sought the way to immortality.
Counting from hundreds of years ago, he should be a skeleton by now, but he looks like a middle-aged man.
Clearly, this is not who he truly is.
It must be a body that was taken over.
Humans cannot live forever. To live from hundreds of years ago to the present, he must have been possessing other people's bodies all along.
One body after another, until that person grows old or dies, they will seek out the next body and possess it once again.
Possession can grant one a new body, but the backlash will follow them forever.
No wonder he has so many backlash scars on his body.
"Because I have sacrificed far too much for immortality, I cannot give it up, nor can I ever give it up," Yi Changsheng said with a greedy look on his face.
He has sacrificed so much for immortality; he cannot give up now!
He originally wanted to become an immortal, but since he couldn't, he had to find another way and try to find a way to achieve immortality.
Becoming an immortal is for the purpose of achieving eternal life, agelessness, and immortality!
They're all the same!
His heart was corrupted, and his hands were stained with killing. Even his past partners died at his hands. He spent a lot of money on this, and he could no longer stop.
Although it took hundreds of years, it wasn't without its gains!
He has found a way to achieve immortality!
He was just a few steps away from immortality!
"Since you've been to my old house, you must have seen that fox demon, right? It should have turned into bones and died, right?" Yi Changsheng asked.
He felt only hatred towards the fox demon.
I hate him for ruining his plans time and time again!
The killing formation was so powerful that after hundreds of years, the fox demon's magic power should have been almost completely absorbed by it, and she should have died of old age.
"If only she weren't a fox demon."
"Unfortunately, she is a demon."
Yi Changsheng recalled.
The time when we feigned compliance with it was quite pleasant.
Unfortunately, she was a demon.
It can only help him gain fame.
If she were a person, even an ordinary person, he would have been willing to give her a formal status back then.
Even if she doesn't become his principal wife, she could still serve him wholeheartedly as a concubine.
Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness.
He made a hand seal, and golden light shone forth. He then flicked his finger.
However, the golden light dissipated completely when it touched the killing formation.
Yi Changsheng stood outside the formation, watching Jiang Yuan inside.
Seeing that her spells were ineffective, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's useless. This formation is even more powerful than the one set up in the Yi family's old mansion. It contains tens of thousands of souls."
"Do you know what tens of thousands of souls mean?"
"It means you will be haunted by those resentful ghosts who died, who will wail endlessly around you and attack you until you die. At the same time, the killing formation will also drain your magic power."
Yi Changsheng said with an air of certainty of victory.
This killing formation was meticulously set up by him; it took him a long time just to trap tens of thousands of souls inside.
It was originally intended as a trump card to be used later.
But Jiang Yuan relentlessly pursued him, emanating a powerful force that forced him to take it out ahead of schedule.
It would be a pity to use it, but if I could get her soul and eyes, it would be worth it.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the ghosts wandering and wailing around her, crashing into the barrier she had conjured, and her expression changed slightly.
All of these people were killed by Yi Changsheng!
No wonder Shouxin harbored such resentment; he was not only heartless, but ruthless.
Women are stepping stones for him to advance further, while family and friends are merely guinea pigs in his quest for immortality.
Over the past few centuries, his cultivation has not only been destroyed, but he has also gone mad with demonic possession.
Such a person, let alone becoming an immortal, would be utterly destroyed even if he went to the underworld, with no chance of reincarnation.
Listen to their wails; they sound like weeping, like lamenting, like pleading for help…
The souls inside are all the relatives or people that Yi Changsheng disliked after each possession.
Jiang Yuan's petite body trembled, her eyes as cold as frost.
Below, the crowd still holding up their phones to film could not see the formation, nor the scattered souls. All they saw was Jiang Yuan's face appearing before them after her mask fell off.
Not only were the viewers below stunned, but those watching in the live stream were also in an uproar.
[Wait, am I seeing things? Is it really not a different person? Is it really Jiang Yuan?]
Is Master Jiang really Jiang Yuan?
[To the person upstairs: You should say Jiang Yuan is Master Jiang.]
[Holy crap, Jiang Yuan is Master Jiang??? This is even more unbelievable than buying a lottery ticket!]
Wait, something's not right, something's not right. Let me sort this out!
No, no, no, how could Master Jiang be Jiang Yuan? They're not even in the same style!
[Who says they're not the same style? Thinking about it carefully, in the video of the birthday party that circulated a while ago, Jiang Yuan does indeed resemble Master Jiang somewhat. Their mannerisms and speech are similar. Now, upon closer reflection, Master Jiang's voice is also somewhat similar to Jiang Yuan's, except for the tone of voice. Master Jiang's tone is lighter, while Jiang Yuan's is heavier.]
