When I looked at Lin Jingyuan, I suddenly felt a sense of difficulty in expressing myself.
Lin Jingyuan is the direct disciple of Renwu, so Zhan Qing is not the successor of Zhan Wuxiang
Lin Jingyuan showed no mercy when framing Zhan Qing. Zhan Qing's brother, lover, and himself died at Lin Jingyuan's hands. Who arranged this? Was it Zhan Wuxiang himself? Or was it Lin Jingyuan
I said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to harm Zhan Qing?"
Lin Jingyuan said calmly: "Everything is arranged by Master. At the same time, I also want to clarify one thing, that is, connections are connections, and the Zhan family is the Zhan family. The descendants of the Zhan family are not necessarily the descendants of the Half-Life Dao. Master clearly said that in order to protect the Half-Life Dao, anyone can be sacrificed."
I thought about it carefully, the only thing Zhan Qing had not learned when he accepted the inheritance was the Way of Fate. From this point of view, Zhan Qing can't be considered a half-life inheritor.
Lin Jingyuan said: "The ancestor thought that if he didn't pass on the art of fortune-telling to his descendants, they would not fall into the half-life curse. Unfortunately, he calculated wrongly. The descendants of the Zhan family not only fell into the curse, but their fate was even more tragic."
"Master once asked the Grandmaster how to deal with it. The Grandmaster hesitated for a long time before saying eight words, 'If you can't change your fate, you'd better end it.' From then on, Zhan Qing, who was supposed to be protected by us, became a pawn of Renwu Yitian."
I was surprised and asked, "Zhan Wuxiang is not dead?"
Lin Jingyuan shook his head and said, "The ancestor has passed away, leaving only a remnant soul."
"Many years ago, my master was just an unknown sorcerer. It was not until he accidentally encountered the remaining soul of the founder while exploring a secret place for the Xuan Jing Division that he was accepted into the sect. Only then did he gradually become prominent in the Xuan Jing Division. At the same time, he also became a hidden arrow planted by the founder in the Xuan Jing Division. Now, this hidden arrow that has been buried in the Xuan Jing Division for sixty years has finally shot and killed the Xuan Jing Division with one arrow."
I couldn't help but gasp. Zhan Wuxiang was indeed very well-planned. Every one of his arrangements could lead to a sudden emergence of a surprise force hundreds of years later. How terrifying was he when he was alive
Lin Jingyuan continued: "It is because we sacrificed Zhan Qing that we bought you ten years."
I said in a deep voice: "Zhan Qing himself said that he showed up to buy me some time. But why did you still want to kill him? Can't you just let him live?"
Lin Jingyuan said: "When Zhan Qing transformed into a 犼, he was destined not to survive in the world. Even if I let him go, what would happen? If he had continued to live in the dark prison with heavy yin energy, he might have lived a few more years; as long as he got out of the prison, he would be like fish and shrimp thrown on the shore, slowly roasted to death by the yang energy. Besides..."
Lin Jingyuan paused and said, "The leader of Xuan Jing Division is suspicious by nature. I asked Sun Yifan to pretend to be my master so that Xuan Jing Division would think that I was not an undercover agent. Killing Zhan Qing in the end was also for the final destruction of the city."
"If the mountain protection formation is not broken, we will not be able to break through the Xuanjing Division even if we have 3,000 demon soldiers."
I looked at Lin Jingyuan and said, "What about Chen Yuchang? Could it be that killing her was also to confuse Xuan Jingsi?"
Lin Jingyuan said: "You can say yes, but you can also say no. Zhan Qing and Chen Yuchang live and die together. If Zhan Qing leaves, Chen Yuchang will definitely follow him. I am just helping them."
"That's nonsense!" I was so angry that my hands hanging by my side were cracking.
Lin Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "Brother, you think we are inhumane, right? In fact, without the sacrifices of generations of Half-Life disciples, there would be no chance to change our fate."
"The odds are so slim that the chance to change one's fate may be fleeting. In addition, with the existence of the guardian, if there is any mistake, the plan to change one's fate may fail completely. Our plans that have lasted for hundreds of years will be in vain. At that time, the descendants of the Half-Life Path will have to continue their tragedy until the next opportunity comes."
"But look at it yourself. Can the current heirs of the Half-Life Dao be compared with the Nine Sons of the past? Not to mention that our heritage is constantly disappearing. Who can be sure that God will bestow the world's spiritual beauty on the disciples of the Half-Life Dao?"
"The first generation of nine sons could fight against heaven and earth, but the nine sons after them could not leave a nine-man prison. When it came to the nine sons of the founder's generation, they could only hide their identities and go far away. If it weren't for the many hidden treasures they left behind, our generation would be powerless even if we wanted to change our fate!"
Lin Jingyuan looked at me and said, "I want to change my fate, too. Since the day I became a disciple of the Half-Life Dao, I have been living in calculation. I have to think over and over again about everything I say. Even if someone says something to me unintentionally, I have to think over it again and again, guessing what he means over and over again, and trying to figure out his intentions over and over again. It's so tiring. But I can't even take a break. People who live in a wolf pack have no right to sleep peacefully, unless you want to sleep forever."
Lin Jingyuan said: "The separation of life and death of the ghost veins is heartbreaking to you. The intrigues and deceptions of the human veins are a kind of torture that cannot be escaped. You cannot understand this kind of pain. Therefore, the disciples of the human veins would rather betray the whole world to change their fate."
I said in a deep voice: "If I have let down everyone in the world, what does it matter even if I can change my fate?"
"At least there is a glimmer of hope!" This time it was Sun Yifan who spoke.
Sun Yifan, who came out of the Xuanjing Division, was covered in blood and pale, with an undisguised weariness in his eyes: "Perhaps, all we want is a glimmer of hope."
You turned around and asked, “Are you also a descendant of the Half Life Dao?”
Sun Yifan shook his head and said, "I am not, but I am someone who wants to change my fate. You think that as the leader of the Nihua Sect, I have had countless beauties throughout my life, and I should be as happy as an immortal, right? In fact, you are wrong. People of the Nihua Sect cannot have a loved one in their life. Once a person is deeply in love, your will will shift with the other person. It is a taboo for the Nihua Sect to be unable to control their woman. Therefore, the Nihua Sect has only one way to deal with the person they love, and that is to kill."
Sun Yifan gently touched his heart: "She is gone, but I have buried her here for decades and she has never left. The tragedy of Nianhuamen will not end because of me, but I want to reincarnate, find her, and protect her for all eternity."
"Reincarnation cannot be cheated. Who knows where I will be in the next reincarnation, and whether I can find her? Therefore, I want to change my fate. I want my destiny to be entangled with hers, never to be separated, even if it means betraying everyone in the world. Han Xiaochang is the only one who can see my thoughts, and he is also the only person I trust. Even though I know that he will lead me to a path of no return, I will go through reincarnation for him."
I looked at Sun Yifan: "For this wish, you attacked your brother?"
Sun Yifan shook his head and said, "I don't want to defend myself. Whatever you think is fine."
Lin Jingyuan said, "Wu Zhao, don't you think that the death of Sun Hao and He Zhenzhen is a kind of relief? In the past, the ancestors of Xuan Jing Division sent Sun Hao to kill the evil nightmare for nine generations. The nine generations of heart-wrenching pain are not only to kill the evil nightmare, but also to kill Sun Hao."
"Without the master's arrangement in this life, Sun Hao's tragedy would have continued until he and the evil nightmare were reduced to ashes and never reincarnated. Sun Hao and He Zhenzhen died in the black prison, but there is no Xuan Jing Division in this world, and no one will arrange the grudge between Sun Hao and He Zhenzhen. They may meet again in a certain reincarnation, and the reincarnation that is not manipulated by anyone belongs to them."
I stared at Lin Jingyuan and asked, "Would you be so kind?"
Lin Jingyuan shook his head and said, "I don't deny that the purpose of forcing He Zhenzhen to death was to use her resentment to activate the formation that my master hid in the black prison and cover up the fact that three thousand demon soldiers entered the Xuanjing Division."
After a long silence, I finally said with difficulty: "Who is this half-life against heaven for?"
"Of course it's for ourselves!" Lin Jingyuan said, "If it's not for ourselves, why would we go against the will of heaven?"
I knew clearly that this would be the answer, but after hearing Lin Jingyuan say it, I still felt cold all over.
Everyone I meet becomes a chess piece. Rather than saying that our fate is controlled by the laws of nature, it is more accurate to say that it is controlled by half the laws of life.
Monk Shi, Nangong Ling, Xiao Baitang, He Zhenzhen, Xue Ling'er, Zhan Qing, one after another sacrificed themselves to change their fate, would they be willing to do so
Lin Jingyuan interrupted my thoughts at this moment: "Brother Wu, the Xuanjing Division has been destroyed, and the plan to defy the heavens has reached its final stage. We should leave. Many people are waiting for us."
I turned to look at Xuan Jing Si, who was stained with blood. The mixed feelings in my heart were hard to describe. After a long while, I sighed and said, "Let's go! After all, we have to see the result."
I was talking to Lin Jingyuan, but also to myself.
When Lin Jingyuan led me to Xuan Jingsi through a sea of blood and corpses, the Chu army that had originally rushed into Xuan Jingsi had all withdrawn, leaving only those sorcerers with white scarves wrapped around their left arms guarding an open space waiting for orders.
Seventh Shuilan glanced at the sorcerer who was waiting for orders: "Are these people from the Sun family and the Lin family?"
"Not all of them." Lin Jingyuan said, "But they are definitely our loyal subordinates."
Sun Yifan also said: "When the Heaven-Defying Incident is over, it will be time for them to leave. Now that the Xuan Jing Division is gone, let them fend for themselves!"
Seventh Shui Lan nodded and said nothing. I said, "What about the three thousand demon soldiers? How are you going to deal with them?"
Lin Jingyuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wu is really chivalrous. The three thousand demon soldiers have already been killed or wounded, and those who are still alive have been thrown back into the black prison. Since the ancestor was able to subdue the demon army, he would have left a backup plan. Otherwise, if the demon army was allowed to wreak havoc on the world, wouldn't it bring disaster to the Half-Life Sect? So, they were all taken back."
I turned around and asked, "What about Han Xiaozhang?"
"Master is gone." Lin Jingyuan shook his head and said, "It was not me who plotted against Master back then, but he plotted against himself. Without his sacrifice, Xuan Jing Division would not be at ease with my existence."
"I see." Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis approaching... (To be continued)
