Chapter 1202 The Four Nations Ancient Remnant Opens

Zi Yan had understood at that time the true meaning of a devil star . A devil star was not purely an enemy, but an existence entangled with feelings of love and hatred .

Back in the Eastern Wasteland, Zi Yan had only felt Long Chen to be a confused youth . She hadn’t particularly had that much faith in her devil star matter, but she had been curious, so she had begun secretly watching Long Chen . That was when she had seen Long Chen encounter an a.s.sa.s.sination trap .

Despite clearly knowing the doll-carrying child had been an a.s.sa.s.sin, he hadn’t been able to kill her and had rather allowed her poison needle to stab him through the heart .

He had gently rubbed that girl’s head without the slightest resentment . Instead, he had treated her warmly and caringly .

The words he had said at that time had permanently branded Long Chen’s image in Zi Yan’s mind .

Now, several years had pa.s.sed . Being focused on the Music Dao, Zi Yan had intentionally hidden these memories, gradually forgetting about her devil star .

But when she once more encountered Long Chen, all those suppressed memories reappeared, as vivid as ever in her mind . The first time she saw Long Chen again, she hadn’t been able to stop her heart from pounding .

Furthermore, she had even felt delighted as if she had been expectantly waiting to see him again . Last night when she had been drinking wine with Xia Youluo, she had heard Xia Youluo’s story about how Long Chen had swindled all this wine . She had actually laughed until she had swayed back and forth, causing the other Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s disciples to be shocked .

Music cultivators had to separate themselves from the seven emotions and six desires . Joy, anger, worry, pensiveness, sorrow, fear, shock, each emotion could disturb a music cultivator’s heart . That was a taboo for music cultivators .

At that time, even Zi Yan had grown afraid . She had forcibly suppressed those emotions . But on the trip to the Wine G.o.d Palace with Long Chen, she found that everything she had done was futile . Each glance, each movement from Long Chen affected her heart . No matter how she tried, it was all useless .

Now, Zi Yan understood the true meaning of a devil star . And in front of Long Chen’s questioning, she finally revealed the whole story .

Now she was begging Long Chen to escape this fate, to avoid fighting to the point of you die or I die . She would rather give up cultivating and accompany Long Chen to old age .

Long Chen looked into Zi Yan’s eyes . They were completely clear, and he felt like he could see all her secrets . Now he finally knew the whole story .

“Sorry, I can’t go with you . I still have many things I need to do . ” Long Chen shook his head .

He wasn’t able to do this . He not only had his lovers and hot-blooded brothers, but he also had to find his own biological parents . There was too much on his shoulders .

Tears slowly dripped down Zi Yan’s face like pearls . They slowly fell to the sides of her lips . This was Zi Yan’s first time experiencing the taste of tears .

An indescribable feeling of sorrow and grief filled her . She stared at Long Chen blankly, unable to say a thing .

“Sorry,” apologized Long Chen .

“You don’t need to say sorry . This was all fated . If a day comes that your corpse lies before me, I ask you not to hate me . In the same way, if there comes a day when your saber cuts off my head, please don’t feel grief . I won’t hate you . ”

After saying this, Zi Yan’s tears gushed forth . She suddenly held Long Chen and began to bawl . The tear-streaked face of this beauty pained Long Chen’s heart .

“Sorry, Long Chen . I am the Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s successor . I absolutely cannot betray them . So when we meet again, either you die or I die . I won’t show mercy on the battlefield . ”

After saying this, Zi Yan left without giving him a chance to say anything . Her scent still remained around him, but she had vanished .

Long Chen stood there, unable to comprehend things for a long time . How did such a contrived plot happen to him? Shouldn’t it only happen in the melodramatic stories of the Grand Han?

Fate? Decided by the heavens? Long Chen had never believed in such nonsense things only used to con others .

But when Zi Yan had completely opened her heart to him, he had seen the karma . That karma involved Zi Yan’s master who had told her that she would encounter a devil star in her life, and that she had to kill him .

“When we meet again, either you die or I die? What kind of bulls.h.i.+t is this?” Long Chen burst into curses . He found it inconceivable that such a melodramatic thing could happen to him . The sudden resentment and blessing had come and gone too quickly . He hadn’t even had a chance to clearly feel it before the heavens suddenly slapped him in the face .

The most infuriating thing to him was that he didn’t doubt Zi Yan’s determination to kill him at all . In the end, Zi Yan was a member of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, and she was loyal to her own Heavenly Dao inheritance . Well, the main thing was, just how had she decided that he was definitely a fiendish devil?

“f.u.c.k, how did I end up provoking a killing star?!” Long Chen felt like he was going crazy . It couldn’t be that the heavens had decided that since it couldn’t kill him through heavenly tribulation, it decided to arrange such a terrifying opponent for him?

Long Chen sensed extremely terrifying energy within Zi Yan’s body . If Zi Yan had decided to kill him right here and now, he probably wouldn’t have been able to beat her .

But even though Zi Yan wasn’t killing him now, she would quickly break through to the Jade Core realm to become a King . As for Long Chen, he was still stuck at the fourth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging . When he encountered her in the future, she would be even more terrifying .

Zi Yan directly led her people to leave, without even saying goodbye to the Grand Xia’s royalty . Theoretically, that was very rude, but Long Chen knew that Zi Yan’s mental realm was too chaotic right now to care about such things .
