Great Zhou Kingdom.
The country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But the royal family was covered in blood and corpses!
Inside the dungeon.
Zhou Yu was chained to a cross with steel nails inserted into his limbs and heavy iron chains locking his body. His body was covered with shocking scars and his clothes were soaked with blood!
He was originally the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty and lived a carefree life. His strict father would force him to study and handle state affairs, and his gentle mother would be angry with him for his mischief.
But today.
A group of immortal cultivators from the Yanyue Sect suddenly visited and had a fierce quarrel with his father. The immortal cultivators from the Yanyue Sect suddenly went on a killing spree and massacred all of his people!
In the entire Great Zhou royal family, he was the only one who was taken prisoner and was not dead yet!
Zhou Yu knew that there were immortal cultivators in this world. He once aspired to become one, to travel through the universe and live freely and at ease.
He believed that immortal cultivators were noble and mysterious beings who were detached from worldly matters.
He was wrong.
Totally wrong!
Immortal cultivators are not human beings, they are a group of beasts!!
At this time, a man and a woman entered the cell.
Zhou Yu's eyes turned red, his blood rushed up, and he spurted out large mouthfuls of blood!
"Ah!! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!"
The man was none other than the leader of the Yanyue Sect, Du Yeyun.
The woman with the cold expression was Su Lingyue, the closed disciple of the Yanyue Sect's leader!
Du Yeyun looked at Zhou Yu's fury and smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, he is not dead yet, his vitality is quite strong."
Zhou Yu struggled frantically, blood oozing from his limbs, the iron chains clanging. He asked angrily and unwillingly, "Why! Why on earth!? How did we offend you, the Yanyue Sect, that you want to kill us all?"
Du Yeyun said matter-of-factly, "Why? Of course it's because I didn't listen."
"As a subsidiary dynasty of our Yanyue Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty is our Yanyue Sect's dog."
"If a dog doesn't listen to its owner, what's the point of keeping it?"
Zhou Yu vaguely knew that every dynasty had cooperative relationships with some immortal cultivation sects...
He was wrong again.
What kind of partnership is this? It's slavery!
Du Yeyun shook his head and said lightly, "I asked your father to collect the blood of babies from all over the Great Zhou Kingdom for Yanyue Sect, but he dared to refuse. What else can this be but disobedience?"
"Then just get an obedient dog to do it."
The bones and blood of babies from the entire Great Zhou Dynasty...
Zhou Yu felt cold all over, and his anger was boiling. He roared, "The blood and bones of babies from the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, that's tens of thousands of lives!! How could you have the heart to do this?!"
Do they still have any humanity
Du Yeyun said something that Zhou Yu would never forget in his life.
"So what? Just a mortal."
Zhou Yu almost suffocated, "Just a mortal...?"
Du Yeyun snorted and said, "Boy, this world is cruel."
"In our eyes, you mortals are not even human."
"If it's not a human being, then what is it?" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.
"What is it?" Du Yeyun thought for a moment and said disdainfully, "It's an ant, a pet, a toy that cultivators play with and abuse at will. It's not even a toy."
"Humph, a mortal can only live for two hundred years at most. For an immortal cultivator, it is just a blink of an eye."
"What you call dynastic wars and sieges can only be regarded as a game of chess between two sects at best. It's just entertainment."
"So whether it's those babies or you royal nobles, in our eyes, they are nothing."
Du Yeyun's words shattered Zhou Yu's three views.
He once thought that he was second only to others in this world.
He was determined to continue to make the Great Zhou prosperous and the people live happily after becoming emperor, thus inheriting his father's will.
He always felt that this was the greatest aspiration of “man”…
It turns out that in the eyes of immortal cultivators, his lofty ideals are not even as good as playing house.
A century-old dynasty is just a toy that they can easily obtain and destroy at will.
Zhou Yu felt dazed for a moment.
He had never felt so small.
He looked at Su Lingyue who had been silent the whole time, "What about you?"
"Are the feelings between you and me, and my family, all fake?"
Zhou Yu remembered that Su Lingyue was the same age as him and entered the royal family at the age of fifteen. His father never told him who she was, but only asked him to get along well with Su Lingyue.
For four whole years, Zhou Yu and his clansmen treated Su Lingyue as their own child and took great care of her.
Zhou Yu even developed a crush on her...
Although Su Lingyue has always been indifferent to him.
Zhou Yu thought she was just not good at communication.
That's not being bad at communication.
Su Lingyue is a cultivator. She has never looked down on a mortal like him from the beginning to the end, right
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Du Yeyun controlled a spear and stabbed it into Zhou Yu's abdomen, and blood gushed out!
Zhou Yu groaned.
Du Yeyun said coldly, "Feelings? Don't flatter yourself. Lingyue was sent by the sect to monitor you."
"Do you think Junior Sister is willing to stay with a group of mortals all day long?"
"Are you in love with Junior Sister? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but stared at Su Lingyue.
He didn’t believe it... Immortal cultivators are also human beings. Su Lingyue has no feelings for him or the royal family!
Su Lingyue glanced at Zhou Yu and said in an extremely cold voice, "The feelings are not fake."
Zhou Yu was stunned, but Su Lingyue hadn't finished speaking yet.
"There is no truth or falsehood in something that has never existed."
"boom!"
Zhou Yu's last bit of fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Su Lingyue like a bubble.
He laughed in anger, vomiting blood as he laughed, "Hahahaha! Things that have never existed... Hahaha!!"
"It's your sixteenth birthday, the entire royal family is celebrating for you, and my mother gave you a scarf she knitted herself!"
"I'm burned."
"When you were seventeen, your father gave you the ancestral bracelet to bless you with safety!"
"I threw it away."
"At 18 years old, my sister saw that you were unhappy, so she pretended to be a turtle to please you..."
"She's just being sentimental."
"You taught me swordsmanship..."
"You study with me..."
"You and I will watch the moon together..."
"you… "
Su Lingyue interrupted Zhou Yu and said, "Stop talking, it's all fake."
Zhou Yu smiled smugly when he heard this, "You just said it doesn't exist."
Su Lingyue frowned slightly, "Zhou Yu, you don't have to be clever."
“We have never been from the same world.”
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals."
Zhou Yu laughed wildly, "Great! There is a difference between immortals and mortals, what a great difference between immortals and mortals!!"
"Why don't you kill me now?"
"Did you leave me here just to torture me?"
Zhou Yu roared like a madman, causing the iron chains to clang! !
Du Yeyun sneered, "Boy, you think too highly of yourself."
"Specially to torture you? Are you worthy?"
"If it wasn't discovered by accident that you had a Taoist bone in your body, would you be alive today?"
Zhou Yu's eyes froze, "I have a Taoist bone in my body?"
Taoist bones are the foundation of immortal practitioners.
Only those who possess the bones of Tao can refine Qi and are qualified to embark on the path to immortality.
Du Yeyun said, "Humph, I don't know what kind of shit luck you have."
"Nowadays, Dao bones are only possessed by the descendants of immortal cultivators. It is a legacy."
"The probability of a mortal possessing a Taoist bone is almost zero."
"If it was an ordinary Dao bone, I would just kill you, but you have a Heavenly Dao bone, which is a rare existence in the entire world of cultivation."
"With a Heavenly Grade Dao Bone, you have a bright future!"
"Haha! Are you a gift from God to my Moon-shattering Sect?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but tremble, "So? You want to dig out my Dao bone?"
Du Yeyun said disdainfully, "Otherwise why would I keep you here? If you die, your Dao bones will also be affected."
"Your heavenly Taoist bone is just right to be transplanted to Lingyue. After the foundation-building period, Lingyue will surely soar to the sky and become a genius of the generation. My Yanyue Sect will surely create greater glory!"
"This is how the world works, the strong prey on the weak!"
Zhou Yu looked at Su Lingyue, his eyes full of anger, unwillingness and humiliation!
He has the qualifications to become an immortal cultivator, if he had discovered it earlier, he would have embarked on the path to immortality.
Can it save his family
Save the Great Zhou Dynasty...
And now, his Heavenly Dao Bone has helped Su Lingyue! !
The continuous blows made Zhou Yu almost crazy and he wanted to die!
"You... you are not worthy of being human!"
"What a bunch of crap immortal cultivators, they are all beasts! Beasts!!"
"Kill me if you dare! Come on!!"
Du Yeyun didn't waste any more time, "Don't worry, after you take the Dao bone, you will be worthless. You can die however you want, as many times as you want!"
He waved his hand, and the chains and nails on Zhou Yu flew off.
He inserted one hand into Zhou Yu's chest, fumbled around for a while, broke a bone, and pulled it out!
It was a piece of golden bone. The bright red blood did not cover up the golden glow of the Heavenly Grade Dao Bone, which contained the aura of the Great Dao!
Even though Du Yeyun was knowledgeable and experienced, his eyes were still enthusiastic and he said intoxicatedly, "This is the Heavenly Rank Dao Bone! It really lives up to its reputation!!"
Su Lingyue was also touched, too beautiful...
Du Yeyun turned and left, "Junior sister, kill him, and come back to the sect with me immediately to receive the Taoist bone transplant!!"
Su Lingyue glanced at Zhou Yu, whose eyes were empty. His chest was almost pierced through. As a mortal, this was a fatal wound and he would not live long.
Su Lingyue took out a jade bracelet and a green scarf from her sleeve, threw them in front of Zhou Yu, and said resolutely.
"Give it back to you."
"You're right, the feelings don't not exist, they're just fake."
"If you have the chance, don't meet any more immortal cultivators in your next life, and live your life happily."
Su Lingyue also left the cell.
Zhou Yu listened to every word Su Lingyue said, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
He lost consciousness and fell forward, crushing the jade bracelet.
The cell fell into silence and darkness...
Sudden!
