Looking at the wound on his hand, the Devil Ape gnashed his teeth in hatred and roared towards the sky. No one could understand his current mood. When a person was in despair, despair would become a habit. At least, the Devil Ape had been used to it for three hundred years and could continue to get used to it. It wouldn't be a problem for him to get used to it for another three hundred years.
But when a person in despair suddenly saw hope, and then the hope was shattered, that feeling would be completely different. Right now, the Devil Ape was feeling this way. He was strangely angry, but that was all. He was destined to not be able to walk out of this place, and he knew that he couldn't make Xiao Wangqing stay.
Light flickered. Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog walked out of that spatial zone and returned to the courtyard. At this time, the sky had already begun to brighten. The old liar seemed to have returned to his original appearance. He casually walked to the boulder that Da Huang Dog often climbed on and sat down.
"Senior."
Jiang Chen came to the front of the old liar and cupped his fists. "Thank you for your help, Senior. Jiang Chen really shouldn't have been disrespectful to Senior."
Jiang Chen wasn't someone who would easily salute, but the old liar felt that it was worth it. This was a life-saving grace. He understood very well what happened just now. If it wasn't for the old liar's timely appearance, he and Da Huang Dog would've been doomed. Now that he thought about it, he still felt a lingering fear.
"You brat, you suddenly became so polite. This old man isn't used to it."
The old liar waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Chen didn't need to be so reserved in front of him.
"Old liar, you've hidden yourself very well."
Da Huang Dog came to the old liar's side and spoke in a casual tone. The old liar didn't mind this at all. If he did, he wouldn't have made himself look so filthy. The old liar was like a man who had seen through the world of mortals.
"You two are really audacious. You dare to go anywhere. If it wasn't for this old man's timely appearance, you two would've become that big guy's feces."
The old liar's tone sounded somewhat reproachful, but there was still a strong sense of praise in it, especially towards Jiang Chen. There weren't many young people with such audacity.
"Senior, how did you find this place?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"With this sovereign's strength, is it very difficult to find you?"
The old swindler glared at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was speechless. The old swindler was right. It was too easy for a powerful Supremacy to find a person. However, Jiang Chen was still very puzzled. It was very easy for the old swindler to find the valley he was in, but it would probably not be easy for him to find that sealed space.
"You should know who Yang Junlong is, right? If I'm not mistaken, you should know Yang Junlong. Otherwise, how could you find that space? "
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Boy, you're really smart. That's right, this old man and Yang Junlong were best friends. Back then, that Demonic Ape was bloodthirsty and slaughtered an entire city, killing millions of humans. Yang Junlong lured it into a natural restriction that had existed for a very long time and had fused with the essence of heaven and earth. After being modified by Yang Junlong, he imprisoned the Demonic Ape. I knew about this matter, so I was able to successfully find that space."
The old swindler said.
"Is Yang Junlong the Old Ancestor of the Great Qian Empire's Yang Clan?"
Jiang Chen said. This was his guess, but he reckoned that it wasn't far from the truth. Moreover, after listening to the old swindler's words, he admired Yang Junlong very much. Imprisoning the Demonic Ape could be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the human race.
"That's right, he's the Old Ancestor of the Great Qian Empire."
The old swindler nodded. There was nothing to hide about Yang Junlong's identity.
"Since that Demonic Ape was bloodthirsty, why didn't you kill him back then?"
Da Huang Dog asked, puzzled.
The old swindler shook his head. "The Heaven Devouring Demonic Ape isn't that easy to kill. Even if Yang Junlong and I joined forces, we definitely wouldn't be able to kill him. At most, we could only suppress him. The Heaven Devouring Demonic Ape was right. If it wasn't for Yang Junlong scheming against him back then, it would have been impossible to imprison him."
"Senior, is Yang Junlong still alive in this world?"
Jiang Chen continued to ask. This was the doubt in his heart. He had seen Yang Junlong's statue during the King-Conferring Ceremony in King Fan Prefecture. According to Yang Bufan, this old ancestor had disappeared for a very long time. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
"That year, after Yang Junlong imprisoned the Heaven Devouring Demonic Ape, he disappeared and never appeared again. However, I don't think Yang Junlong is dead. Given his ability, he wouldn't die so easily."
The old swindler said. When mentioning Yang Junlong, his eyes turned solemn again. In any case, he and Yang Junlong were friends.
"Old swindler, Master Dog has a question to ask. You are obviously a powerful Venerable and only a step away from the half-step Sovereign realm. Why did you make yourself look like a bear?"
Da Huang Dog asked curiously. This was also what Jiang Chen wanted to know.
The old swindler didn't speak. He seemed to have fallen into contemplation. That's right. Why did he become like this? Even he himself didn't know. He had always wanted an answer in his heart, but this answer had never been proven.
Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog didn't speak, not wanting to disturb the old swindler's train of thought.
After a long time, the old swindler stood up from the boulder. He lifted his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky as if he wanted to see through the sky.
"Venerable Wang Qing, Xiao Wangqing. I, Xiao, have pursued the pinnacle of cultivation all my life, but in the end, I embarked on the Dao of Wang Qing. I wanted to use the Dao of Wang Qing to break through to the legendary Emperor Realm. Unfortunately, some emotions are destined to be unforgettable. When I was young, I entered the Dao of Wang Qing with emotions, and finally embarked on the Dao of Wang Qing. However, at the last moment, when I used the Dao of Wang Qing to break through to the Emperor Realm, I discovered that I still couldn't forget them. Therefore, I failed to break through to the Emperor Realm and chose to live in seclusion.
The old liar said. He had never said these words to anyone before, but today, he had said it to Jiang Chen. It was a feeling.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the old swindler's life was very pitiful. He could tell that the old swindler had a lot of secrets. He was a sentimental person, yet he chose to walk on the Dao of Wang Qing. This in itself was contradictory.
"Senior, there are some words that I don't know if I should say."
Jiang Chen said.
"Tell me about it."
The old swindler looked at Jiang Chen with interest.
"Senior, you are a sentimental person. Back then, you even entered the Dao of Wang Qing with emotions. Later on, in order to break through to the Emperor Realm, you chose to walk on the Dao of Wang Qing. At that time, you didn't know that this in itself was contradictory because you couldn't erase the shadow in your heart. Cultivation focuses on letting nature take its course. Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. Can a truly heartless person still be called a human? How can a person with emotions truly forget about them? Senior, why don't you abandon the Dao of Wang Qing and follow the guidance in your heart, walking on the path you want to walk? "
