Hearing this, An Qingyu fell silent.
"Even so, what can I do?" An Qingyu said slowly, "The exchange of equal value has already begun. Even if I stop now, I can't get back the price I have paid."
Lin Qiye looked down at the blood of the divine beast disappearing on the surface of the Gate of Truth. After a moment, he raised his fingertips and lightly scratched his wrist.
The sharp blade cut the blood vessels, and a large amount of scarlet blood spurted out!
"I am now the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch of Daxia, but at the same time, I am also the captain of the Nightfall team.
From the perspective of the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch of Daxia, I should kill you directly while you are exchanging the price; but from the perspective of the captain of the [Nightfall] team, I hope that Jiang Er can return to this world... "Lin Qiye said lightly,
"The feud between the camps will continue after Jiang Er is rescued... At least at this moment, I still regard you as the vice-captain of [Nightfall]."
Fresh blood splattered on the surface of the starlight tentacles and was immediately greedily swallowed by the latter, flowing along the mysterious glow into the magnificent portal.
An Qingyu was slightly startled by the scene, then he looked up at Lin Qiye in the sky. However, he couldn't see his expression clearly in the thick fog.
"The blood of the Hongmeng spirit fetus is hundreds of times more precious than the blood of those divine beasts." Lin Qiye snorted coldly.
"If it still isn't satisfied after taking away your emotions and draining my blood... I will cut down this broken door with my own hands!"
The chilling murderous intent was poured into his blood and swallowed into the Gate of Truth without a drop left along the tentacles of starlight. Lin Qiye stood above the foggy lake, letting his blood surge. His face became paler and paler.
What Lin Qiye cut open was actually an artery. Without any measures to stop the bleeding, the amount of bleeding was extremely horrific. After a short while, the blood in his body was almost drained.
If it were an ordinary person, with such horrific consumption of his own blood, he would have died on the spot. However, for the Hongmeng Spirit Embryo, the tenacity of life is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Lin Qiye didn’t know how much blood he had lost. He only knew that his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and an unprecedented feeling of weakness surged into his heart.
But looking at the phantom of the Door of Truth in mid-air, it was still greedily devouring his blood, with no intention of stopping.
Before his blood completely drained out, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and directly stopped the wound on his blood vessels. A terrifying murderous intent was released from his body without reservation!
He stepped into the void step by step, and walked towards the shadow of the Gate of Truth.
He was serious about cutting down the door.
"This door of truth is just an illusion. Even if you break it into pieces, you won't be able to hurt the real body." An Qingyu took the initiative to speak when he saw that Lin Qiye was really going to cut it.
Lin Qiye stopped and spoke slowly after a moment:
"So what if it's just a phantom... I just don't believe that there is no causal connection between the phantom and the real body
Even if I can't destroy this phantom, I know the location of its real body. When this matter is over, I will let the teacher cut the South Pole with his sword and destroy the Time Maze and its real body...
I want to see how it can cheat people then."
Buzz!!
As if it understood Lin Qiye’s threat, the shadow of the Gate of Truth standing in the thick fog shook violently!
All the starlight tentacles extending outside retracted into the inside of the portal at the same time. At the same time, a mysterious light bloomed from the crack in the door, covering the entire Erhai Lake area!
When An Qingyu saw this brilliant light blooming, he was suddenly stunned.
It really works!?!
If his emotions had not been drained away by the Gate of Truth, even An Qingyu would have been unable to resist and started cursing.
As the mysterious light enveloped Erhai Lake, the magnetic fields that once appeared in Erhai Lake floated up from the earth and the lake, like countless beautiful ribbons, swaying and connecting the sky.
An Qingyu stood in the middle of the lake, staring at the scene in a daze, then came to his senses and quickly searched among the magnetic fields.
As time goes by, various completely different magnetic fields appear and disappear frequently, making the onlookers dazzled.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure slowly floated out from Erhai Lake.
It was a girl in a white dress, with long black hair floating on her shoulders, like a ghost from the bottom of the lake.
Her eyes were closed and her expression was calm, as if she was asleep.
"Jiang Er… "
The moment he saw that figure, An Qingyu's eyes shrank slightly, but at this moment, he could not feel any other emotional fluctuations in his heart.
He murmured the name, as if he was calling her, but also as if he was reminding himself... reminding himself not to forget what she meant to him.
As Jiang Er's body floated to the Gate of Truth, all other magnetic fields around him dissipated, leaving only diffuse rays of light flowing on the lake, making everything seem like a dream.
Just as An Qingyu was about to reach out to the afterimage of Jiang Er in the flowing light, the latter's body instantly disintegrated and also turned into mysterious rays of light, spreading in all directions!
An Qingyu stretched his hand into the air and suddenly stopped where he was.
Deep in his eyes, there was a flash of confusion... but that was all.
On the contrary, when Lin Qiye saw this, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge shadow of the Gate of Truth, and his murderous intent burst out again:
"Are you kidding us??"
As the door of the Gate of Truth closed, its existence quickly faded and disappeared directly in the thick fog. The huge Erhai Lake fell into deathly silence again.
Before Lin Qiye could make any move, An Qingyu's calm voice sounded again:
"Is that so..."
Lin Qiye turned to look at him, "What?"
"The price we paid was not enough to completely revive Jiang Er, whose soul had been destroyed for four years... Therefore, after the Gate of Truth absorbed the price, it only fulfilled my request to the minimum extent..."
An Qingyu raised his head and looked at the magnetic field ripples spreading in all directions.
"It... only brought back part of Jiang Er's magnetic field. Although she has no life, no consciousness, and no memory, in a way, she is indeed back."
Lin Qiye frowned, "But she still hasn't resurrected, right? What's the point?"
"As long as we recover some of her magnetic field, there will always be a way to completely revive her... And you also said that I have no emotions now. It may be best for Jiang Er to come back in this way."
Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.
Jiang Er now only has a magnetic field but no life or consciousness. Naturally, she will not wake up to talk to An Qingyu, nor will she know what An Qingyu looks like now... This may indeed be a kind act to her.
If she was really resurrected, it would be a greater blow to her to see that the person she loved most had sided with the God of Ke, betrayed the former Da Xia, lost his feelings, and became a complete stranger.
Lin Qiye supported this weak body, and after a while, he sighed helplessly.
The blood of the twelve divine beasts, plus An Qingyu's emotions, plus the blood of the Hongmeng spirit fetus... barely exchanged for a ray of magnetic field. If An Qingyu had to bear the cost himself, it is estimated that even if he sacrificed his life, he would not be able to revive Jiang Er completely.
Although the Gate of Truth does practice "equivalent exchange", its trading model is an outright black marketeer.
Lin Qiye was about to say something when his eyes suddenly flickered and two figures appeared in front of him.
Fish two, fish four!
They stared at Lin Qiye, their eyes full of coldness.
"Private matters are now dealt with... Next, it's time to deal with official matters." An Qingyu's voice, without any emotion, sounded slowly from behind Lin Qiye.
