Killing Dark Ancestor Xie Sanxiao was a big deal. In a short period of time, an ordinary cultivator had become a hero revered by the world, and it would be very difficult for ordinary people to withstand the various halos and sugar-coated bullets that followed.
But in the end, Zuo Butong chose to calm down. He was well aware of the principle that "an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth," and also understood the danger of a tall tree attracting the wind.
Choosing to hide his achievements and fame wasn't just for his own safety and that of his descendants, but also for the future of the entire Zuo family.
If he accepted this "lucky break" setting and obtained a great glory that didn't belong to him for no reason, even if he could withstand the temptation of glory, it would be hard to guarantee that the rest of the Zuo family's descendants wouldn't become "arrogant" in the future.
It was easy for people to make mistakes when they were too arrogant.
Many successful people were bound to experience all kinds of hardships and experiences before reaching the top. If they took a leap, they would be the ones who fell in the end.
What Zuo Butong feared was that he and his descendants would be affected by all kinds of halos and lose the will to strive forward.
Thus, Zuo Butong chose to hide.
He abandoned everything and even changed his family name.
All his friends and relatives who knew about this back then had their memories of this glory erased by Zuo Butong and Huaxiu Alliance during a secret trip.
Even Zuo Butong himself had been erased.
When Zuo Butong woke up again, he had changed his appearance and even changed his name to Zhuo Tong.
That hero Zuo Butong became a memory shared by Zhuo Tong and everyone else, and became a legendary hero of Huaxiu nation …
Every year, when Zhuo Tong visited the Cemetery of Martyrs on behalf of his organization, he would always feel a sense of déjà vu when he saw Zuo Butong's face.
Of course, this was all in the past …
So in some sense, White Hair felt that this Zuo Butong was also an extraordinary person.
Although his realm wasn't high, he had a long-term vision.
But even Zuo Butong himself couldn't have imagined that his skill at picking up scraps would be completely inherited by his descendants, especially by a person called Odd Zhuo …
But unlike Zuo Butong, Odd Zhuo was still striving to improve himself.
This was because he had always been well aware that what he had obtained didn't truly belong to him. He needed to work harder and use his own efforts to prove that he was worthy of it all!
After White Hair finished explaining the basic situation, King of Nightmares was shocked. He had not completely digested the history of that year.
"Don't worry, my lord. I'm aware of the situation. I'll immediately head to the Residence of Reincarnation …"
Of course, this information couldn't be obtained through normal channels, but White Hair had his own unique means.
He had originally calculated the time and planned to take advantage of Wang Nuan's birth to come to this world, and then use the power of Shadow Dao to directly open the valve to the main vein of Nine Dragon Mountain … Unfortunately, Wang Ling's vigilance had exceeded his expectations.
He didn't have much time left, and didn't have the time to continue tangling with Wang Ling. Now, he could only carry out his second plan as a last resort.
Whether it was Nightmare, Xia Ming or that Dark Ancestor Xie Sanxiao whom he was about to resurrect …
In the end, they were just his tools.
…
The Prison of Reincarnation was also called the Residence of Reincarnation.
It was the largest underground prison in Huaxiu nation's Jinghua city, and also the main prison for all serious criminals.
Originally, the Old Devil, Master of Immortal Mansion Cheng Yu and Evil Sword God would have been escorted here, but General Bai, the head of the Ten Generals, had made them stay behind and form a three-man prison mahjong squad to atone for their crimes by working together to carry out missions. Because of this, the transfer of these three people to the prison had been suspended.
The prisoners in the Residence of Reincarnation had committed truly heinous crimes. Actually, in comparison … whether it was the Old Devil, Cheng Yu or Evil Sword God, none of them had committed such heinous crimes.
Back then, the Old Devil had simply been blinded by love, and had broken into the National Palace in search of the Wheel of Time in an attempt to continue his former fate. He had caused a huge ruckus, and a lot of people had spread false rumors behind his back. But in reality, it wasn't as terrifying as the rumors made it out to be. This was a crime of illegal invasion …
Master of Immortal Mansion Cheng Yu's Immortal Mansion was an unauthorized dark force. He had obtained Immortal She Pi's magic array, and had planned to create trouble after he refined a peerless godly sword. But he had stolen Jingke … Before he could do anything, the entire organization had been wiped out! It was like a company that had just been set up and was ready to start operating, but the industry and commerce bureau suddenly dropped by to take the boss away on the grounds that he was operating illegally …
As for Evil Sword God, there was naturally no need to mention him.
In order to surpass his shifu, he had cultivated an evil art, which had led to a heart demon in his body. To put it bluntly, he was a psychopath with schizophrenia …
As everyone knew, psychopaths weren't illegal …
Of course, there seemed to be a reasonable explanation for these three people's actions, but the fact was that they had still caused a very bad impact. It was only natural that they would be sentenced to a thousand years to atone for their crimes. Furthermore, General Bai's condition was that this thousand-year atonement could only be offset with merit points, and couldn't be waived according to the normal procedure.
That was to say, if they didn't have a mission to carry out, they would have to wait for it … until their time was up.
It looked very miserable, but at least in Songhai First Prison, Warden Liang treated the three of them pretty well, and would occasionally play mahjong with them.
Compared with the truly vicious criminals in the Residence of Reincarnation, they weren't treated as well there.
Even for Nightmare, this was his first time in the Residence of Reincarnation.
After White Hair resurrected him, just like Bai Youquan, Nightmare had also received some power of Fate Dao, which made him even stronger than before he had died.
Nightmare couldn't imagine how terrifying Dark Ancestor would be if he was resurrected.
As he snuck in, the five of them discovered his tracks.
Nightmare cultivated an extremely special technique. He cultivated his physical body into a virtual body, which was the highest realm of the Nightmare Art!
The eighth floor of the underground prison actually wasn't a place where criminals were held.
The Residence of Reincarnation divided criminals into seven levels, and the lower the level, the higher the level of imprisonment.
On the eighth floor was an exhibition hall. Inside the hall were the relics of some Beyond S class wanted criminals.
When these criminals were discovered, they were almost always executed on the spot by Huaxiu's Immortal Arts Mobile Unit or the allied army's peacekeeping unit.
The relics on display here were firstly to warn these criminals of how dangerous they were, and secondly to show how difficult it was for law enforcement officers to arrest criminals and crack down on crime.
And Dark Ancestor Xie Sanxiao's skull, which White Hair had mentioned before, was in this eighth zone …
Apart from Xie Sanxiao's skull, Nightmare also found a lot of interesting things as he searched.
