Chapter 409 (1/2)
Chapter 409: 409
“Brother Zhuzi is right . ” Yan Tianhen nodded as fear still lingered in his heart . In the past, he had always wanted to break through the second layer of Hardened Body Stage . Fortunately, Lin Xuanzhi had prevented him forcefully, so everything was well .
Everyone had stayed in this ancient battlefield-like city, where body parts were scattered everywhere, for three days, but there were not any rewards from it .
Just when everyone was about to lose their patience from the wait, one day the sound of a horse galloping suddenly resonated from beyond the city gate . A man dressed in black robe with gold lining and had a jade crown on his head could be seen riding a white pegasus with wings eight meters wide . He broke the doors and entered, but before they could see the man’s face clearly, the scenery before them seemed to have changed . Unexpectedly, everyone had yet again returned to the moment when they had first arrived in Twin Moons City .
Lin Xuanzhi stared at the city before them, in a trance .
A cycle .
They were somewhat at a loss, but soon they realized that this was an opportunity .
In any case, once you had entered Twin Moons City, there was no chance for you to leave, so they would have to find a way out from the outside .
However, after searching for a long while, they still ended up empty handed .
Lin Xuanzhi said, “There is no need to continue searching . If you want to break this illusion, the obsession in Yin Chongyue’s heart must be resolved . ”
Leng Jixue was stunned and asked, “Why do you say that?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at the city’s external appearance, which was riddled with marks and body parts, and explained, “Twin Moons City’s illusion is formed by Yin Chongyue’s obsession . As long as his obsession is not broken, this city will never disappear . ”
Duan Yuyang gasped and asked, “But what is his heart’s obsession? How would we know?”
A person’s obsession could come in countless forms; some for revenge, some for love, some for themselves, and some for the common people .
Obsession is the most difficult puzzle to be broken, because no one would know how it started and how it would end .
Lin Xuanzhi stared at the gate and said, “Let’s go in again and look around, then we will know . ”
Anyways, it would be impossible to search for a way out just by wandering around this area . They might as well return to Twin Moons City and continue to search for a solution . After all, in comparison with their first time in the city, they at least already know the entire sequence of Twin Moons City’s decline and also the ident.i.ty of the Young City Lord .
Before entering the city, Wan Yitong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “The Divine Clans have always been looking for the peerless magic treasure that brought about the ma.s.sacre to Twin Moons City . I didn’t expect it to be a child . ”
“An exceptional furnace const.i.tution and also destined to be empress, it is inevitable that he would become an existence everyone would envy and fight over . ” Bei s.h.i.+tian said lightly .
Yan Tianhen bit his lower lip gently .
His fate was indeed like this .
Moreover, based on Yin Feng’s curse, it could be seen that he was actually repaying the karmic debts to the Yan family .
Wasn’t this curse s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g with him?
“Who knows if it is considered to be fortunate or unfortunate . ” Wan Yitong clicked his tongue . “Since ancient times, the fates of those with exceptional Yin furnace const.i.tution would not end very well . It seemed as if they had been cursed by Heaven . Their lives have always been out of their control . Occasionally, there are still a few lucky ones, who are born with high status, so no one would dare to provoke them . Yet, due to various accidents, they would become poor, just like that person in Yan’s family back then… . . ”
“How was that person in Yan’s family?” Ji Yunwei was not familiar with the affairs in the Nine Lands . When Wan Yitong mentioned it, he stopped suddenly and then asked curiously .
Bei s.h.i.+tian glanced at Wan Yitong and said, “If you were to talk nonsense about those rumours that you’ve heard again, you should be wary that Master will beat you to death once you head back . ”
Realizing that he had said too much, Wan Yitong giggled, “Oh, I seemed to have taken the plot in the book seriously again by accident . Senior Martial Brother, you must not let Master know . ”
Bei s.h.i.+tian looked away emotionlessly and said, “Being beaten by Master is also a good thing . ”
Wan Yitong said, “What nonsense . ”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “It shows that we have already gone out . ”
Wan Yitong: “… . . ” I beg Master to beat me!
Whether it was a drama or something else, when Wan Yitong didn’t want to say it, Ji Yunwei perceptively stopped asking .
Soon, they stepped into the barrier of Twin Moons City for the second time .
It was still the same city, the same kinds of people .
A purple rattan ball landed at Lin Xuanzhi’s feet .
Seeing Little Monkey again, Lin Xuanzhi said with complicated emotions, “You are the Young City Lord of this Twin Moons City . ”
Yin Chongyue smiled, “The entire Twin Moons City knows that I am the Young City Lord . ”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Yin Chongyue, Xuan Lou won’t come . On your birthday feast, Yan Chi will lead the black and white crow guards to slaughter your entire city . ”
The smile on Yin Chongyue’s face froze as he looked into Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes for a moment, then tilted his head and asked lightly, “Lin Xuanzhi, you really are an extremely audacious person . ”
The moment they heard this sentence, they suddenly felt that they had a chance .
At least Yin Chongyue did not seem to have amnesia .
Lin Xuanzhi said faintly, “You can report it to the City Lord and have him ask for help as soon as possible . There are still three months before the day the Yan family slaughters this city . ”
Yin Chongyue’s face returned to its original state and asked, “Who told you that there are still three months?”
