Chapter 58.5
Chapter 58.5
Zhang Zirou, who leaned against her husbands arms, sensed his absentmindedness. She secretly gritted her teeth as sadness leaked into her eyes.
Despite the vows of eternal love made between them, in the end, time took him away from her.
In truth, she deeply hated Ji Yuzhens ruthlessness. If she hadnt given birth to the dragon, how could he have retrieved the dragon horn? She hated that he reaped the benefits after only a few decades of tenderness toward her. If it wasnt for her, although he entered the Cultivation Realm, he wouldnt even be able to use his spiritual energy smoothly. She would have left this cruel man to find another lover.
Both husband and wife were mindful of each other. After a while, they saw the door open, and the high-ranking clan elders of each clan came in, albeit late.
For every person who came, someone would announce his or her name.
The sects guest elder, Tribulation Stage cultivation, the Supreme Elder Lin Shiheng has arrived.
Lin Shiheng
The couple who were still immersed in their own thoughts snapped back to their senses and both looked with disbelieving eyes towards the person who came from the main door, standing tall with a jade body and a face like an ice sculpture.
Even after a hundred years, his appearance was hard to forget.
Zhang Zirou looked at him in a daze as she walked step by step towards the high seat, as if to see the man who still had a shockingly handsome face despite his shabby clothes.
Lin Shiheng
The name which she gave him.
At that time, she hadnt yet met the present emperor, and had a love affair with this poor young man.
Maybe its the amnesia. His pure and clear eyes, always looking at her with a joyful gaze.
Today I am married to Ah Rou, I Lin Shiheng swear to the heavens that I will never neglect Ah Rou in this life.
Ah Rou always said that I was born good-looking, but in my opinion, Ah Rou is the most beautiful.
As long as it is what Ah Rou wants, I will find it for you.
Since you have chosen him, I have nothing to say. I only hope you can cherish it.
When she left him, he too left quietly and never came back.
When she gave birth to that dragon, she realized that maybe he was a demon. At first, Ji Yuzhen wanted to attack the little dragon, but the remaining feeling of motherhood made her stop him, saying that if they did something to this little dragon and Lin Shiheng found out, he would definitely come back for revenge.
Ji Yuzhen didnt care. He bluntly said that he sent someone to kill Lin Shiheng after he said goodbye to her.
Eventually, she and her husband split the dragon horn and reached the Cultivation Realm.
Those past events which she thought to be forgotten now resurfaced.
The cultivators sitting around were still whispering.
I heard that this Supreme Elder has a profound cultivation and has a rather high status in the sect, ah
More than that, even the Clan Leader couldnt beat him. I dont know why such a powerful person would stay in the clan as a guest.
He is already in the Tribulation Stage, and his ascension to the Heavenly Realm is definitely not far away. Eh, its a pity that he has never been close to women. In the past 5 years, I have searched for opportunities and failed to have a one-night love affair with Elder Shiheng. I wish I could. I heard that he is very generous. When he ascends later, he would surely leave something.
Youre thinking way too far. With his cultivation, why would he look at you, a loose cultivator?
For Zhang Zirou, these whispers were nothing less than shocking waves.
Lin Shiheng was in the Tribulation Stage???
Since she came to the Cultivation Realm, she finally understood how difficult it was to cultivate. In a place where the strong are respected, the Divine Transformation Stage was indeed able to give her a higher status than other loose cultivators, but when it came to the big sects, she still had to tread carefully.
Still, she didnt regret eating the dragon horn and coming to the Cultivation Realm.
Immortality was too much of a temptation for women.
Even though Ji Yuzhens attitude had become more and more ambiguous, she still didnt regret it.
But now, looking at her former lover who was sitting on the high seat, wearing a coronet and having a lofty status, Zhang Zirou instantly regretted it.
If, if the person who went to the Cultivation Realm with her at the beginning was Lin Shiheng, he would definitely hold her in his palm like a jewel and cherish her, and wouldnt treat her like how Ji Yuzhen treated her now.
Zhang Zirou was remorseful in her heart, staring straight at Lin Shiheng sitting above, and so was Ji Yuzhen. But he was shocked by how Lin Shiheng, whom he obviously killed at the beginning, would suddenly appear in the Cultivation Realm.
Also, he reappeared with such a high level of cultivation.
When he laid hands on him, he never concealed that he was the one doing it. Lin Shihengs cultivation was so high now. How could he not retaliate when he sees him?
Now feeling afraid and worried, his handsome face gradually became ferocious.
Lin Shiheng didnt look at the couple below, only beckoned to his daughter, Ningan, come to father here.
Lin Ningan obediently stepped forward and sat down beside him.
A handsome man who looked like an ice sculpture looked at his daughter with slightly hooked lips, reached out his hand and touched Lin Ningans smooth forehead.
Today is the day of your calamity. Are you ready?
Today?
Lin Ningan was shocked. But Shan Huaiyu is still recovering. Should I go back to protect him?
No.
Lin Shiheng raised his eyes and looked at a group of people who came in at the other side, clearly smiling without it reaching his eyes.
Isnt he here?
Lin Ningan turned around and actually saw Shan Huaiyu, who was supposed to be recuperating, walking in with the Clan Master and some people.
Before she could say anything, the Clan Master had already waved his sleeve and covered the territory with a large net.
If it werent for Huaiyu, I wouldnt know that the clan had hidden two monster beasts.
Today, please help me to kill these two powerful monster beasts together.
With that, he attacked and used his spirit sword to aim at the father and daughter sitting on the high seat.
Lin Shiheng, however, didnt take the attack seriously. Before he could even wave his sleeve, he shooed the rushing Clan Master away.
Lin Ningan was naturally protected by him. At the moment, she opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at Shan Huaiyu standing behind the Clan Master in disbelief.
You betrayed me?
Shan Huaiyus eyes flickered as he looked at her jade clear eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled out his spirit sword and aimed it at her.
You are a demon, and I am a person. Humans and demons could never walk the same path. You have always deceived me, and I mistakenly thought that you were a person. Since it has always been a deception, this isnt a betrayal!
But you said you didnt mind after you knew I wasnt human last time, and you said
Thats because I know that demonic beasts are vicious by nature and worried that you would kill someone horribly!
Shan Huaiyu interrupted her words and looked firm. Today, the masters and elders of all the big sects have laid an ambush. Even if you, father and daughter, are both in the Tribulation Stage, theres no chance of winning against us. It is better for you to give up now. Maybe I can still look at the past feelings and leave you an intact corpse!
Hearing that, Lin Ningans eyes turned cold.
In her eyes, the Shan Huaiyu in the spirit mirror gradually overlapped with the Shan Huaiyu in front of her that she had thought was completely different.
However, she isnt the same snake in the mirror, getting hurt but having no power to fight back.
Im going to kill him.
She pulled out the red whip from her waist, and the harsh aura fiercely charged straight at Shan Huaiyu.
Dad, I want to kill him!
Lin Shiheng looked at his daughter with the same doting expression, Go ahead.
(TNote: Daddy! Youre the best!) PRNote: He is! Daddy!
The red whip carried the attack harshly and relentlessly. Within a few breaths, Shan Huaiyu, who was standing properly before, was already covered in blood.
He woefully kneeled down and spat blood and dodged, while the others on the side who wanted to come forward to help found that they were wrapped in an aura barrier and couldnt get close to him. They could only watch as Shan Huaiyu got beaten and injured while they were unable to move.
He coughed and fell to his knees, coughing up a pool of blood.
Lin Ningan stopped and stood in front of him.
Am I not good enough for you? I thought that you were my best friend.
Cough
Shan Huaiyu spat out a mouthful blood. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he didnt beg for mercy, but knelt down and looked at her.
If its not one of us, we would be different at heart. Whats more, you are a demonic beast at the Mahayana stage of cultivation, if I kill you and eat your inner Dan, my cultivation will definitely rise high.
Shan clearly scum Huaiyu then said, That day, if you agreed to dual cultivate with me, today wouldnt have gone like this.
I really liked you. I wanted to rise to the Heavenly Realm with you. Since you didnt want to, then die with me.
Today, the masters and elders of the eight sects have all come here. Even if your father has great ability and can beat ten, can he beat a hundred, can he beat a thousand, can he beat ten thousand?
At some point, he laughed, but before he finished laughing, a red whip ran through his heart.
Shan Huaiyus smile stopped. His kneeling body couldnt support it anymore, and he heavily fell to the ground.
A large amount of blood overflowed from his mouth, and he could feel his aura dissipating, but strangely enough, life was still there.
He vomited blood, and with a broken voice, asked the person who looked down at him.
Why Why am I not dead?
I just remembered something.
Lin Ningan held out her hand and brushed his forehead gently.
You just lie here and wait for a good show.
The spirit barrier broke open, the crowd of cultivators looked at Lin Ningan standing in the center with a red whip in hand. For a moment, no one had the courage to go forward.
Lin Ningan didnt bother to look at them, but only dropped her gaze on the white-clothed cultivator standing in front of them with his hands clutching his sword.
Husband, long time no see.
Shan Junqings hand that was gripping the sword paused.
No, it cant be.
She was clearly dead.
He watched with his own eyes. He saw her die.
What did you call me?
Husband ah?
Lin Ningan slowly raised her red whip. Her head was a little painful because of the complicated memories in her brain, but she was awake.
Youre really strange.
Why did you name your disciple Huaiyu when you decided to kill your wife to prove your Dao and break your mortal bonds?
On that day, you had said to me If in the future, you and I have a child, it will be called Huaiyu.
She walked up to him, Shan Junqings hand trembled as he held the sword. In his ears, his voice overlapped with hers.
Shan Huaiyu, what do you think?
I think its no good!
A red whip flashed by Shan Huaiyu and ran through his heart.
He slowly dropped to his knees as Lin Ningan withdrew her red whip.
Since youve already killed me before, dont start acting emotional all of a sudden.
Shan Junqing, you make me sick.
Shan Junqing fell to the ground.
Why Im still alive.
That stab of yours in the past was really merciless.
Lin Ningan didnt answer him. She crouched down and took out a knife from his bosom. As he did that day, she poked it into his chest.
Today, Ill pay you back.
Oomph!
Shan Junqing cried out with repressed pain. A pair of bloodshot eyes still stared at her, stubbornly asking, Why alive
Ningan, come here.
Lin Shiheng, who was sitting at the top of the stage and still had the leisure to sip tea, beckoned Lin Ningan to turn around and come over. However, as her white shoes were about to move, they were grabbed by a pair of bloodied hands.
I killed you to become an Immortal.
But I always loved you.
Lin Ningan was expressionless, looking back and looking down.
If you didnt kill me, you would have already become an Immortal now.
Shan Junqing looked at her with difficulty, Why
This time, she didnt answer. Instead, she used the whip to whip the bloody man on the ground away and walked back to her father.
Lin Shiheng brought a bowl of Meng Po soup and settled it in front of his daughter.
How about another bowl?
Its not necessary.
Lin Ningan closed her eyes and pressed down the memory of that mortal existence.
Dad, rest assured. I dont need Meng Po soup anymore.
Without those feelings, drinking or not drinking, was no different.
Before the fight started, two cultivators had already been taken down, making the cultivators, who were bent on killing demon beasts for their inner Dans, a bit hesitant.
Finally, a person stood up.
The demon beast above, the eight sects high-ranking cultivators are all here. Even if your cultivation is more profound, you cant compete with so many cultivators, so why dont you give up your life and take a chance?
Lin Shiheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked fearless.
So, you are now trying to bully the few with the many? We, father and daughter, have never killed anyone, yet you treat us like this. Is there any moral righteousness in doing so?
Why talk about morality with a demon beast like you?!
Today, I have laid a tight encirclement. Even if youre an immortal, you cant escape death!
The man that was always sitting above got up slowly. His jade white face showed a little mockery.
What if I am an immortal?
He waved open his sleeve and a token burned violently to ashes as the crowd retreated in horror.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Miles of cloudless sky slowly turned, thunder clouds gathered together.
In the next instant, countless people wearing armor and holding weapons appeared in the sky.
It was very dark. From the revealed Tribulation Stage cultivation, the crowd of cultivators saw a big change.
How can it be Its so much higher than the Tribulation Stage!!!
Under the sight of horror and disbelief from the crowd, Lin Shiheng rose up and turned into his true form. A dragon appeared in front of them with a long white jade body and flew into the air. Then, he let out a dragon roar at the ground.
The cultivators were knocked down by the dragons roar as the winds pinned their chests to the ground, causing them to spit up blood.
Shan Junqing was unable to move, vomiting blood, as he looked at the huge white dragon in the sky with bloodshot eyes.
There was a dragon whose body was much smaller than her fathers gliding at his side.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at the sky.
Dragon
How can it be a dragon?
In the four realms, only demons with the blood of the Heavenly Emperor could turn into dragons.
But how was that possible?
The cultivators around him also thought the same thing. But soon, the sky was dark, and countless heavenly soldiers knelt down to salute the dragons body.
The neat and unified voice resounded through the Cultivation Realm.
We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor!
