Su Zimo frowned in deep thought but his thoughts were getting more and more chaotic.
"This question is a little presumptuous but I still have to ask. Why aren't you dead?"
Su Zimo looked at the red-headed ghost and asked softly apologetically.
The red-headed ghost destroyed the capital of Great Qian and slaughtered countless living beings. Daming Monastery and Fahua Monastery were destroyed as well.
Even if it was to avenge his beloved son, such a heinous crime was unforgivable. How did he survive the catastrophe 10,000 years ago?
The red-headed ghost's strength was indeed terrifying.
With his strength alone, he could destroy the prosperous capital of Great Qian overnight and even destroy two super sects!
However, based on the situation back then, the red-headed ghost should have been suppressed!
How could he still be alive under such circumstances?
Monk Yuan Bei looked at the red-headed ghost.
After this while, the red-headed ghost seemed to have calmed down.
With a proud expression, he said slowly, "Back then, none of the experts of Great Qian, Daming Monastery and Fahua Monastery were a match for me! Not even Mahayana Patriarchs! "
Back then, Yan Beichen had mentioned this to Su Zimo.
Yan Beichen had once said that the combat strength of ancestral Dragons was comparable to the emperors of the human race. It was clear that he was not lying!
"After a huge battle, the emperors of the human race were finally alarmed and the Dharma Overlord of Fahua Monastery rushed over!"
At the mention of the Dharma Overlord, the red-headed ghost retracted the arrogance in his eyes and said with a stern expression, "At that time, no one could stop me, not even the emperors of the human race!"
"I fought with the Dharma Overlord and both of us were severely injured,"
Pausing for a moment, the red-headed ghost frowned slightly and harrumphed coldly. "At my weakest moment, the Patriarch of the Di Clan appeared and ambushed me while I was severely injured!"
It was clear how dangerous it was to be injured in a huge battle with the Dharma Overlord and be ambushed by a Mahayana Patriarch.
It was no wonder why the red-headed ghost hated Chaos Essence Sect and the Di Clan so much.
More than a month ago, not only did he severely injure the Di Clan's Half-Martial Ancestor, he even killed the Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Chaos Essence Sect!
However, from the perspective of the Daming Temple and the Fahua Temple, the Grand Ancestor of the Di Family had helped them.
That was the reason why Monk Yuan Bei did not stop Di Yin from coming to the Dragon Burial Valley to read the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra more than a hundred years ago.
The red-headed ghost continued, "I've been fighting here for a long time, turning the world upside down. I fought a Law Overlord and was heavily injured. After that, he was severely injured by the Grand Ancestor of the Di Family. He won't be able to survive. "
"At that time, everyone who saw this scene thought that I was dead for sure. But no one could have imagined that the Law Overlord would hide it from all the cultivators and make a decision that allowed me to survive! "
At the mention of this matter, the red-headed ghost's eyes were filled with endless emotions and respect.
With his arrogant temperament, it was rare to see a hint of respect in his eyes.
The red-headed ghost said, "To be precise, the Law Overlord sacrificed himself so that I could live!"
Monk Yuan Bei sighed. "The Dharma Emperor was already in his later years and did not have much lifespan left. As such, he sacrificed himself and released supreme Dharmic powers to save the red-headed ghost, forcefully extending his life!"
"Why?"
Su Zimo asked instinctively.
The red-headed ghost's expression dimmed as he lowered his head. "At that time, I asked the same question. I still remember every single word of the Law Overlord's reply to this day! "
Su Zimo listened intently.
"Patron Long Ran, you're not to blame for this calamity. You're also a victim. The reason why I saved you was because I hoped that the Dragons wouldn't start a war with the cultivation world of the North Region because of this matter. I hoped that this matter would end and that there would be no more bloodshed in the North Region. "
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and his eyes were filled with endless shock!
Turning around, he gazed into the depths of the cemetery at the small mound that the red-headed ghost often guarded.
There was a wooden board erected on the mound with the words' Law Overlord 'written on it.
In Su Zimo's eyes, that wooden board suddenly looked extremely sacred and tall, emitting a Buddhist light that could deliver the world.
This was the benevolence of the Buddhist monasteries!
This was the magnanimity of an emperor of the human race!
Even though the red-headed ghost committed such a heinous crime, as an emperor of the Buddhist monasteries, he chose to forgive him.
He even sacrificed himself to avoid an even greater calamity!
Monk Yuan Bei said, "Although the Law Overlord was in his later years, he still had 10,000 years of lifespan. However, he said that even if he took that final step, it would be difficult for him to withstand the might of the Heavenly Tribulation. If he left earlier today, he could still save countless lives!"
Even though he was in his later years, he still had 10,000 years of lifespan!
However, the Law Overlord gave up his 10,000 years of lifespan to save the red-headed ghost in exchange for peace in the North Region!
Monk Yuan Bei said, "The Law Overlord was right. After the news of the red-headed ghost's death spread, the army of Dragons descended and wanted to massacre the cultivation world of the North Region. However, the red-headed ghost persuaded them to retreat."
"From then on, the red-headed ghost stayed in the Dragon Burial Valley and accompanied the cemetery forest. He was chained and repented sincerely."
Su Zimo sighed internally.
The Law Overlord had not only saved the red-headed ghost's life, he had also saved the latter's murderous heart.
One could imagine that if the Law Overlord had not made that choice, the red-headed ghost would have died and the army of Dragons would have descended, clashing with the entire cultivation world of the North Region and seeking revenge …
At that time, it would not be a calamity for the Great Qian Empire, but for all living beings of the North Region!
Su Zimo could sense that there was a powerful mastermind behind everything that was orchestrating everything!
If not for the Law Overlord, this calamity of the North Region might even develop into a calamity for Tianhuang Mainland. At that time, everything would be irreversible!
Who was the mastermind behind this?
The Patriarch of the Di Clan?
If not for the Law Overlord, the red-headed ghost would have been killed by the Patriarch of the Di Clan and the consequences would have been dire.
However, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that the Patriarch of the Di Clan might have played an important role in this, but he was not the mastermind behind the entire calamity.
Someone else was behind this calamity!
Su Zimo pondered for a long time and suddenly asked, "Master, for the past 10,000 years, countless cultivators have entered the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley but all of them died. Do you know?"
"Initially, I didn't,"
Monk Yuan Bei shook his head.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he understood the meaning behind Monk Yuan Bei's words.
Monk Yuan Bei continued, "Ever since that female patron descended here more than a hundred years ago, I realized that there was another terrifying existence hidden at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley apart from the red-headed ghost and me!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo felt his hairs stand on end and a chill run down his spine!
The female patron that Monk Yuan Bei mentioned was clearly referring to Die Yue.
However, who was the terrifying existence apart from Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost?
"That terrifying existence was hidden extremely well. He was deep in a pool of blood beneath the Dragon Burial Valley. Even the red-headed ghost and I did not sense him,"
Monk Yuan Bei said, "It was that female patron who made a move to capture that person!"
After staying at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for 10,000 years, Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost did not know of the existence of a third person!
"Who is he?"
Su Zimo asked.
"I don't know. I only saw a blood-colored human face appear above the pool of blood the moment that female patron attacked!" Monk Yuan Bei said.
