At least one thing was certain – if Lei Qianli had really become the leader of the Sacred Heart Palace, the situation would be much, much worse than it was now!
Chaos might have already taken shape!
"What about the altar behind you and these pools?" Yun Yang asked.
"They are the Reverse Yin and Yang Pools," the man in green answered without hesitation.
"What are their specific uses?"
"Lord Supreme Cloud's question has always been my question, but I really don't know what these pools are used for."
The man in green smiled bitterly and said, "I've always known what I need to do, but it doesn't mean that I'm willing to do these things …"
"To be fair, I've always been unhappy in my heart for so many years, so … I've never really smiled."
He still looked at Yun Yang with a faint smile on his face and said, "I've always maintained this expression. Can you understand what I'm thinking?"
Yun Yang could not help sighing. "I think I get the gist of it. If I'm not wrong, it's because … your mission is going against the rise and fall of mankind. You've been in the human realm for so many years and you've already regarded yourself as a pure human being? So you're conflicted, you're in pain, but you can't resist your mission? That's why you said when we first met, 'Heaven's will is a fool'. It's unpredictable! '"
The man in green smiled bitterly again. "That's right, Lord Supreme Cloud is wise."
He raised his head, his eyes filled with boundless nostalgia as he said softly, "I've told myself time and time again that I'm not human … I'm only a wisp of demonic spirit …"
"But … when I was seven years old … my father and mother died tragically in front of me to protect me. They were chased by their enemies and dug a hole in the ground, placing me in it … They used their own bodies to conceal the existence of the hole. Even when their bodies were hacked to pieces by the enemy, they were still plastered to the hole, allowing me to live …"
"My first master's sect was annihilated … To cover my escape, my master gave up the chance to escape and fought the enemy to buy time, just to buy enough time to escape … In the end, he suffered ninety-three fatal injuries, but before he died, he still cried out loud, 'Don't avenge me …'"
"My heart was a foreigner and I didn't care about love. However, by chance, I met a female confidante who gave her heart to me. Wherever I went, she followed. Even though I was disloyal, she was infatuated with me … Later, when I was being hunted, she risked her life to help me and died tragically in my arms … Her only wish before she died was for me to live well and not to think of her. She said she was too ugly …"
The man in green's gaze was hollow as he stared into the void, murmuring, "I thought I was heartless and shouldn't have feelings. However, who can forget about worldly emotions in this world? What I had to do, the ultimate focus, was to annihilate this world … I didn't even understand myself. On one hand, I felt guilty, on the other I blamed myself; on the other, I lusted after the beauty of the world and enjoyed its warmth … Yet, I went on a killing spree without hesitation, sweeping countless innocent people here and slaughtering them in this valley. I took their blood essence and poured it into the pool of blood …"
"Every once in a while, I would go mad … I would stop being a predetermined person. However, when the pool of blood was about to dry up, even if I didn't want to do it, unwilling to do it, I would still do it involuntarily … I would kill again … The number of lives that have died in my hands all these years … has probably exceeded eighty million …"
Eighty million!
Hearing the number, Yun Yang and Zhan Wufei shuddered in disbelief.
However, recalling the white bones in the valley … the endless white bones that covered the entire ground … the countless white bones that stretched all the way here …
Zhan Wufei could not help but sigh. "Your parents … your master … your lover … they're all heroes of humanity!"
Yun Yang felt the same way.
Yes.
This green-clothed man was a demon in his bones, a demon through and through!
However, his parents, his master, and his lover had added a shred of humanity to this devil! If it were not for that, if he had been driven by his instincts, the number of people who had died in this valley would have increased by a few folds …
"Actually, I've been waiting for this day to come." The man in green smiled faintly. "Waiting for the day when my final mission is completed, or the day when I'm discovered by all of you and come knocking on my door …"
"However, before I'm discovered by all of you, I have to be careful, careful with every step I take, to conceal myself, to carry out my mission, my plan …"
He smiled bitterly. "Can you understand? Can you understand what I'm saying? "
Can you understand?
Can you really understand?
At this moment, Yun Yang only felt like sighing.
Just like what the man in green had asked and suspected, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to understand, but Yun Yang felt that he understood and could understand. However, understanding was one thing, it did not mean that he could accept it!
The person in front of him, no matter what his inner thoughts were, was still a wicked demon in his bones!
Unforgivable! ,
"Lord Supreme Cloud, judging from your posture, you seem to have met me before? Or perhaps you've seen my real body? "The green-clothed man was obviously very concerned about this point." Then who am I? Can you tell me? "
Yun Yang's expression was conflicted as he said, "I've seen four of you … Each of them has a sky that's exactly the same as yours, even their expressions and smiles are similar …"
Once Yun Yang's words left his mouth, not only the man in green, even Zhan Wufei was shocked.
Four!
What the hell was that?!
Yun Yang added, "Not only do you have the same voice and smile, but in my impression, all of you wear the same clothes as well. All of you are dressed in green …"
The man in green's gaze was already blank while the corners of Zhan Wufei's lips twitched.
Now that the situation was clear and both parties were being honest, Yun Yang's words would not be baseless. They must be true. From what Yun Yang had said, the so-called four encounters should be four times of enmity …
Killing a person with the same face four times? Was that what he meant? Yun Yang had not lost his mind and suspected that something like this had happened to him. His tolerance was strong indeed …
"Lord Supreme Cloud, please tell me the details." The man in green said solemnly, "I've always wanted to know, what am I? Who am I? "
"The first you I saw was known as the God of Wine, the best at brewing wine. The wine he brewed was unparalleled in the world I was born in … The God of Wine, Feng Xiange, was the legend of the wine world …" Yun Yang recalled.
"I knew how to brew wine too …" The man in green was speechless. "The wine I brewed was also unparalleled in this world. Many of my resources and information were exchanged through fine wine …"
Yun Yang's eyes widened for a moment before he said dejectedly, "The second you was known as Mr. Nian. He was the leader of a mysterious organization … I've been his enemy for a long time and fought with him for a long time … I was lucky to be able to win and kill him. It was really not easy …"
The corners of the man in green's lips twitched.
Although I don't have a mysterious organization under me, I've really thought about forming one and being the boss behind the scenes, controlling everything. It was just that my human nature kicked in and I didn't succeed … Now that I think about what I've done, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as mysterious. What I've done is the continent's number one mystery – so mysterious that I don't even know what I'm doing.
"If I were to form an organization … I'd call it the Four Seasons Tower. Hidden in the dark throughout the year … "the man in green murmured.
Yun Yang grimaced. "The organization under Mr. Nian is called the Four Seasons Tower …"
Zhan Wufei was dumbfounded.
Am I f * cking listening to the two of you performing a crosstalk?
"You're the fourth identical face I've seen …" Yun Yang said, "The third one I saw in the Demon Race … The Demon Race's Phoenix Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor … looks just like you …"
"Phoenix Emperor!"
Hearing the name, not only was Zhan Wufei shocked, even the man in green was shaken.
Both of them were shaken at the same time, realization dawning on their faces. "So, all of this is the Phoenix Emperor's plot? A plot that has been going on for tens of thousands of years! "
Yun Yang said softly, "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, you should be an insignificant clone that the Phoenix Emperor had cut back then … I wonder how many clones the Phoenix Emperor had cut back then …"
"I'm only a clone … and the most insignificant one at that …" The man in green looked conflicted.
"I can't say for sure. According to what I know, all clones have the ability to be related to the main body … but you obviously don't have this characteristic …" Yun Yang was rather speechless.
At the same time, he was also wary. How many clones had the Phoenix Emperor cut back then?
Why were they coming one after another like chives, one cut after another, as if there was no end to them?
The man in green was in a daze for a while before he finally snapped out of it and said, "Alright then … Since it's come to this and you've all come to me, let's do it and end this once and for all."
"If I kill all of you, I'll continue with my mission. On the other hand, if I'm killed by all of you, I'll have an easy time." He said with an open mind, "After so many years and countless mental struggles, I've had enough of the torture. With a mission to fulfill, even suicide can't do it. I'm really on the verge of breaking down. "
He chuckled. "Kill a thousand people today, repent and suffer tomorrow, then do good deeds to make up for it, to bring grace to the world and benefit the people … After a while, kill ten thousand people and do good deeds to make up for it … I've had enough of such days …"
Hearing this, Yun Yang was utterly speechless.
It was indeed a miracle to be able to survive until now with such a split personality.
Zhan Wufei shuddered. "Could it be that you … could it be that you're Nian Chang Sheng? The Buddha Nian Chang Sheng of All Families? The Buddha Nian Chang Sheng who's been roaming the world for free, practicing medicine and giving medicine, never asking for anything in return, not even asking for medicine money? "
The Buddha Nian Chang Sheng?
Nian Chang Sheng?
A devil even more terrifying than Mr. Nian had actually become the Buddha Nian?
Yun Yang's teeth were aching from listening to this.
This Mr. Nian before him seemed to know how to treat illnesses as well. Yun Yang could not help but recall Feng Xiange's title as the Phantom Physician God of Wine …
This … was f * cking …
The man in green said indifferently, "So what if I'm the Buddha Nian Chang Sheng of All Families? I've been given many nicknames in the human world; I'm the Buddha Nian Chang Sheng of All Families; I'm also the warm-hearted Feng Yisi; I'm also the Bloody-Handed Butcher; I'm also the Demonic Lord of the Sea of Clouds; I'm also the Blood Devil who massacred millions of cities in Linhai City in one night … "
He sighed. "Sigh, the day before I massacred Linhai City, I was still treating a patient in Linhai City … A fair and chubby child hugged my neck and called me grandpa, I was elated … On the second day, I crushed the child to death …"
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath.
Was it hatred?
Was it resentment?
He did not have such thoughts, but there was only one thought in his mind right now – this person must not be allowed to live!
Zhan Wufei, who was standing beside him, had the same thought.
"What's your cultivation base now?" Yun Yang asked in a low voice, his hand on his saber's hilt.
The man in green flashed a strange smile that had never been seen before. "Supreme Cloud is actually asking me this before the battle?"
Not only him, even Zhan Wufei was extremely surprised by Yun Yang's question.
Yun Yang said calmly, "I truly sympathize with you regarding what you've been through. If you were to continue living like this, the people you've killed will be many and unjustly treated, but you won't be any better off. You being alive is a form of torture in itself. I'm only asking your cultivation base level casually, to predict what method I should use to end this battle as soon as possible and send you to the afterlife. Speak if you want to, it's fine if you don't. But you have to know one thing … "
Yun Yang's eyes were sparkling. "To you, both of us are the true benefactors … because we're willing to set you free."
Set you free.
Zhan Wufei felt like he was about to explode with embarrassment when he heard this.
You've killed him and you're saying you're helping him …
Although this was the right thing to say, but …
The man in green seemed to agree and said, "That's right, that's right. Killing me and freeing me from my fate is indeed a form of release for me, but I won't give up resisting as I carry out my mission. I've said it before, I'll give it my all. Perhaps it'll be you guys who'll be killed by me instead …"
He frowned and said, "No, I can't kill you, Supreme Cloud. You're already a fourth-level Saint Lord, much stronger than me. I'm only a third-level intermediate … It's just that Zhan Wufei shouldn't have come today. His involvement in this battle will only add to the chaos and make things worse. He's seeking his own death."
"With the combined might of Soul Demon and I, even if we can't do anything to you, Supreme Cloud, it won't be so easy to protect Zhan Wufei."
He smiled faintly. "To have a Lord of the Sacred Heart Palace accompany me on my way, at least this battle isn't considered too much of a loss."
Zhan Wufei's face darkened and he said angrily, "Let's see who's going to send who on his way! You want to kill me? Let's see if you have the ability to do so! "
Although he said so, his heart was filled with anxiety.
This fellow was right. He had tried his best to cultivate all these years, but so far he had only just advanced to the third-level Saint Lord beginner. What if this fellow and Soul Demon fought to the death and attacked him …
He could not help but lean closer to Yun Yang.
