That was a face, an extrely pale face. The mont that face appeared, a mory Ziyue least wanted to recall imdiately surged into her heart!
It’s that....
Yes... It’s that.... It’s because of it that I could escape...
At this mont, Ziyue finally rembered.
Why had she always felt insecure?
For a long ti, an extrely urgent pressure had lingered in her heart, and she did not know where this pressure ca from. Whenever she was about to rest for a while, her body would emit a warning, incessantly urging herself as if sothing terribly dreadful would happen if she didn’t act.
For many years, she had rarely been able to sleep peacefully, always living in that terror.
The reason she had been travelling through various ancient eras with Liu Yu was also to find the truth.
It was not until she followed Chen Qing and approached King Level under Chen Qing’s vast resources that so mories gradually began to unlock.
She had thought, all these years, that the pressure ca from the Ancient Demon Clan, even just now she thought that if the problem of the Ancient Demon Clan was resolved today, she would really be able to sleep peacefully...
But... It was not so!
This ti she truly rembered everything.
In those dark, nightmare-filled days, it wasn’t that no one responded to her!
In fact, soone had, after she received that information, she had been targeted by the Otherworldly Demon Statues. A very strange voice kept whispering in her ear, tempting her.
She always knew, invariably, those who tempted others with power were Outer Gods, and this power was not easy to take, always coming with a great price.
At that ti, she was so tortured that she wished for death and even harbored imnse resentnt towards the Council of Elders, but even so, she did not easily surrender to that voice’s temptation. Finally, after several fruitless tests, the other party showed sincerity.
It granted her a portion of its power, enough for her to escape, but with two conditions. Firstly, she must not use its power wantonly—every use of the power would bring it closer to her, with the closeness being determined by the distance between them.
Secondly, she must forget its existence!
This second condition was reasonable because if she rembered it, she would not easily use its power, which was too unfair for it. Thus, forgetting its existence was a must. There would be warnings, every use of this power would co with a warning, reminding her that there was a cost, but she must never rember... what exactly it was.
At that ti, she hesitated for a while, but eventually agreed. In those dark days in the Underground City, her resentnt had accumulated to the extre; if not for her strong willpower, she might have compromised the mont the temptation appeared.
Now, the other party had given her what seed like reasonable conditions, and she finally nodded.
She believed that with her prudence and awareness, once she realized this power was a threat when used, she would not use it lightly and would try to ascertain the origin of this power and what the Other party intended, which was unlikely to succeed.
But now it seed... she was still too naive.
Looking at that close-up pale great face, a terrifying feeling instantly flooded into her marrow, and a sense of despair she had never felt before spread through her heart. She imdiately rembered the consequence.
The other party... wanted her soul!
These terrifying beings, since their creation, have always wanted to escape this world...
Ziyue instinctively wanted to step back, but the mont she stepped back, a huge hand landed on her shoulder.
Ziyue’s body stiffened, and she suddenly realized that just now, in that mont of distraction, the Guard Commander had already arrived behind her.
"It really is terrifying..." The Guard Commander coldly looked at that pale, large face, knowing in his heart that although it seed close, it was actually far, far away. Its appearance was ant to completely control Ziyue’s mind.
Indeed, when Ziyue had managed to escape, everyone suspected she had dabbled with the forbidden. It turned out to be true, and furthermore, it was a particularly dreadful taboo.
This Demon Statue was very dangerous, maybe even more dangerous than the White Drawing just now. His concerns were indeed valid.
"See for yourself?" the Guard Commander’s massive hands gripped Ziyue’s head: "Isn’t falling into its hands far more terrible than dying at mine?"
Ziyue: "......"
Her will to live stemd from Ziyue’s own body, but her soul was likely still that of the original Reincarnator. Even if she died, she would just reincarnate again, a lesser evil than having her entire soul fall into that monster’s hands.
But... is this it?
Is this the end?
A flash of relentless unwillingness swept through Ziyue’s eyes. After struggling for so long, was it all in vain?
The Elders who insulted her haven’t paid a price, where she has been painstakingly fleeing for tens of thousands of years, and now... to end like this?
No!!!
Ziyue’s eyes blazed with purple light, and the pale face opposite her suddenly revealed a ferocious smile.
It wanted to provoke Ziyue; it had been observing this woman for a long ti. If she was willing to die back then, she would have ended her own life years ago. She was not at peace, so she would surely still use her own powers!
This is the Demon’s Realm, a bridge between two worlds. This place is so vast that it would be impossible for one to arrive here even in a hundred thousand years, but if she continued to use her powers, things would be different. By the rules, it could very well seize the opportunity... to get here very quickly!
The Guard Commander furrowed his brows and finally took a deep breath, "Initially, after Zhang Xiaoyun’s death, you, being the sole blood of the Imperial Clan, could not be easily killed. That’s why you were still alive. But now, you’ve caused far too much trouble, you only have death left!"
"Did you take a long ti to find that reason?" Ziyue scoffed coldly.
"Yes..." The Guard Commander didn’t hide it: "I looked for a long ti. With this reason, those old folks can’t say anything. See you in the next Reincarnation, but you better hide better next ti, because if you get caught by again, it won’t end so simply."
As he spoke, his arms bulged with veins, and a huge surge of vital energy exploded; in that mont, the vital energy released by the Guard Commander was terrifying, even surpassing that of the Emperor in his pri!
Ziyue was intimidated by this vital energy, montarily forgetting to resist, and even the pale face behind was stunned; it had not expected this man’s power to reach such a level, such pure vital energy. Once he ascended, he would probably be the most perfect of the King Level.
Did that bastard from the past actually give him that thing?
Damn it!
The pale face imdiately twisted imnsely. It had been plotting for so many years, just about to capture its prey, and now, this man was about to ruin it?
No...
But no matter how much it didn’t want to, with its great power, it couldn’t traverse that vast distance.
But just when it seed like Ziyue had no chance left, the place where Ziyue was started distorting, and she vanished into thin air from the Guard Commander’s hands!
The Guard Commander’s pupils shrank, his gaze fiercely turning in another direction, where a white-robed Chen Qing was holding Ziyue, looking indifferently at the Guard Commander and the pale face.
"This kid...."
The Guard Commander and the pale face, one hid their presence, while the other burst into excited laughter.
Because the power Chen Qing used, was also that creature’s!
