Chapter 829 - Traitors are in the first three rows! (1/2)

The dawn of hope only illuminated for an instant before being swallowed by darkness, as Senior Immortal Xiaoyao re-sealed the gap in the pa.s.sage with his tyrannical and irreversible power.

The voice from the Nine Regions turned silent as the light disappeared.

In the two-worlds pa.s.sage, besides w.a.n.g Lu and w.a.n.g Wu, there was a devilishly handsome young man.

“I have been wanting to meet you for a long time, but I didn’t think it would be this way. w.a.n.g Lu… Or is it Ouyang Shang?”

w.a.n.g Lu looked at the man in front of him and frowned slightly, “You really know a lot, are you my fan?”

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao smiled and said, “In a sense, I really admire your willpower. You traveled to many worlds in the form of a remnant soul and then returned back to this dead place. If it was me, I would forget to return in the middle of the journey. During your long journey, you have really experienced several wonderful places, in which you can be as comfortable like a fish in water, and your accomplishments were in no way inferior to your achievements in Nine Regions. Moreover, there’s no crisis of extinction there. No matter how long our hands are in the Immortal World, we can’t reach a world that is too far away… So, why did you come back? For the women around you? For this land, or a sense of mission?”

w.a.n.g Lu did not answer but looked at the person in front of him more solemnly.

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao knew too much… Regarding his experience in the period after Ouyang Shang’s death and before w.a.n.g Lu’s birth, no one in the entire Nine Regions knew about him. Even he himself had many vague memories. However, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao seemed to know it like the back of his hand, which was really unreasonable.

“No need to doubt too much, I have read the fragment of the Gate of All Realms and got the coordinates of innumerable worlds. I didn’t accompany you to complete that off-world journey, let alone see your privacy.”

“Wait a minute, you have read the fragment of the Gate of All Realms?” w.a.n.g Lu immediately caught the flaw in this sentence. The Gate of All Realms was brought by Mr. Feng Yue from the Immortal World to Nine Regions. Then, after Ouyang Shang’s self explosion, it accompanied his remnant soul to travel the worlds, and then back to Nine Regions… Then, w.a.n.g Lu used it as a hidden weapon to plot against the Immortal King Xia Yu. Through all these, there didn’t seem to be any room for Senior Immortal Xiaoyao to intervene.

“There are some details that you don’t have to worry about, otherwise you won’t even be surprised and the conversation will not continue… By the way, Fellow Daoist over there, there’s no need to be so wary of me, I’m just a divided consciousness of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao. Let alone fighting against the two most powerful cultivators in Nine Regions, I’m afraid even a Jindan Stage cultivator can wipe me out.”

With that, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to meet that of w.a.n.g Wu’s, who was hiding in the shadow.

w.a.n.g Wu remained indifferent and still insisted that her disguise had not been seen through. The sword in her hand was hidden, ready to explode at any time.

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao shook his head indifferently and said to w.a.n.g Lu, “I’m here to see you, but also to talk to you about a few things.”

w.a.n.g Lu curiously asked, “A few things? Are there things that we can both say?”

“Of course there are… Well, seeing this, I’m even more relieved, since presumably, you’ve already guessed a lot of things.” Senior Immortal Xiaoyao happened to see the remnant corpse of Yanluo on the ground. With a bit of pity, he walked forward and said, “Can I take back her body with me for safekeeping?”

w.a.n.g Lu was silent for a moment and then asked, “Can she still be resurrected?”

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao said, “Strictly speaking, since her entire head has been destroyed, she will no longer be her after the resurrection, but rather the backup made at my place before she went out to war.”

“Backup?”

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao did not explain. He continued, “A resurrection out of nothing could also be done. However, Yanluo is my beloved general and has made great contributions. I can’t allow her to expose her body here.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “Yanluo… is an artificial life?”

Considering Yanluo’s previous resurrection from death and her mechanical puppet-like body structure, w.a.n.g Lu really didn’t think that she could be considered a person.

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao said, “Yanluo is of course a human being, a living person. Artificial life… has never been successfully created in the true sense. Many people think that Immortals can do anything, but this is obviously impossible. If Immortals really can do everything, why can’t they even protect their home and have to absorb the power of Nine Regions? Some laws are the principles of heaven and earth, that even Immortals can’t go against them, such as the creation of life. We can create vivid puppets that can run for thousands of years without diminis.h.i.+ng power and have countless magical abilities, but they are not human beings.”

“However, you have also found that there is a big difference between Yanluo and a real person… Actually, most people in the Immortal World are already like her. Although they are human beings, they are quite different from real human beings. Can you guess what’s the difference?”

“They can be possessed by the Immortal King?”

At this moment, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao showed a very sincere smile.

“Sure enough, you’re indeed the person I’m most optimistic about. Now that you have discovered it, it is convenient to say about things—you should understand that there are many things that even I can’t say.”

When w.a.n.g Lu heard this, he suddenly felt that the fog in his mind had begun to dissipate, revealing a bit of hideous truth.

“In this case, how about a dialogue in the form of mutual questions?”

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s smile grew even more intense, “Very good. You go first.”

w.a.n.g Lu pondered for a while and carefully raised the first question: “Previously, Senior Immortal Poxu once said that in order to prolong his life, the Immortal King Xia Yu occupied the flesh of his own blood descendants, such as Xia Xiaohe. But Yanluo is obviously not his daughter, why was she able to be possessed by him? How much does Yanluo’s special life form have to do with the Immortal King’s body possession?”
