In the restaurant.
"Chang Shan, you betrayed us?" Tang Sanghua said angrily.
Chang Shan ignored her. At this moment, all that was left in his eyes was Yan Li. "It doesn't matter if you see me as an opponent or not. I have never admitted defeat. From the moment I was locked up in the capital's prison, the hatred I felt towards you could not be washed away. I swore in prison that I would let you have a taste of the despair I once felt."
"So, you were the one who betrayed me that night." Yan Li said calmly.
"That's right, it was me!" Chang Shan laughed wildly. "You didn't expect it, did you? I was invited by Night King to Silver Moon Villa, and I saw you kill someone. How does it feel to kill your savior with your own hands? Hahaha, I don't think people like you would feel guilty. Thanks to you, I became the manager of the Resentful Yuan House. "
"Master Cai is Night King." Yan Li confirmed his guess.
"You're going to die anyway, so I'm not afraid of you knowing!" Chang Shan's face was full of mockery. "Your laughable plan was exposed to Black Mountain from the very beginning, and I didn't miss out on the details of your every move. To be honest, you were able to sneak into Black Mountain not because you are capable, but because I wanted to lure you into the abyss of despair."
"When you were teaching, you were not as good as you are now. You were practically dancing with joy." Yan Li was still calmly drinking his wine. "It seems that you are more suitable to be a lackey than a teacher."
"Hahaha!" Chang Shan laughed exaggeratedly, causing the entire restaurant to buzz. "Since the day you framed me and sent me to prison, I've been stepping on my dignity. I'm just a lackey. As long as I can get revenge, I will do anything even more embarrassing. "
"What a strong determination, but not dazzling." Yan Li looked up at the sky outside the window. "From here, dawn is far away. But some people, even before they die, look at the sky and believe that it is the darkness before dawn, such as Ghost Thirty-Three. His tenacity and tenacity are so outstanding, and his desire for freedom is so strong. People like him are rare in this world, far more dazzling than you and me, who only think of revenge, and live with a clear conscience. "
"What are you trying to say?"
"Do you know why Su Yu committed suicide in front of you?"
"Why?"
Yan Li looked at him sympathetically. "Because he despises you from the bottom of his heart. Rather than being killed by you, I might as well end my own life. That's why you're still an outer courtyard instructor even after so many years, while he, who was in the same year as you, not only entered the inner courtyard, he even became the Saint Emperor's right-hand man. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Nonsense?" Yan Li smiles maliciously, "Su Yu despises you at the cost of his life and keeps his proud and pure soul. If it were you, would you have the same determination? No, you don't. Just admit it. You're the same type of person as me. As long as it's for revenge, you'll want to live no matter what, even if you have to crawl on the ground and lick the enemy's shoes. "
Chang Shan's face finally changed. He turned into a ferocious demon and yelled, "If he was willing to hand over the Green Lotus Sword Song, why would I kill him? If it wasn't for the Green Lotus Sword Song, how could he enter the inner courtyard? As long as I have the Green Lotus Sword Song, I won't be weaker than him. I definitely won't! "
Yan Li shook his head and sighed, "Let's put it this way. Actually, when the Silver Moon Villa wanted to buy the recipe of 'Fire Beyond the Sky', I already knew that it was a trap set up by Young Master Cai. He wanted to compete with me in strategy, so he set up a difficult problem for me. If I could solve it, it would prove that I was qualified to fight with him. I guess he originally wanted you to kill Zhan Mu and then blame it on me. At that time, your role was just that. Later on, you saw me kill Zhan Mu and thought that your chance had come. You took the initiative to tell the Saint Emperor, causing a series of events after that. "
His eyes gradually turned cold, "From then on, Yanshan Robber had no choice but to come out from the shadows. Between the empire and Western Liang, I had no choice but to rack my brains for its survival. As the beneficiary of this whole thing, why would you think that I wouldn't suspect you?"
"No, that's impossible. You're bluffing!" Chang Shan said in a panic.
Yan Li snorted, "I killed Zhan Mu, a subject who had been loyal to Ji Tiansheng since he ascended to the throne. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him an elder. If I didn't have a bargaining chip to deal with Black Mountain, she definitely wouldn't have let me live. In fact, the answer is in your heart. You clearly know what the truth is. "
"Then, then why did you step in knowing that it was a trap?" Chang Shan really panicked.
"I said so much." Yan Li poured out the last cup of wine, drank it, and said, "Actually, it was to take back the bet from you. Do you still remember the bet we made?"
"You want to kill me?"
"Am I that kind? Do you know that there are thousands of ways to inflict pain on a person, but there is only one way to get rid of it, and that is death. So I won't kill you. I want you to live, to face your failure with a clear mind, and to deny your own existence. I want you to rot from the inside out until your soul withers and you become a walking corpse. "
"You, why did you do this …"
"Because," Yan Li said with a smile, "I don't like to see people die too quickly. Watching people die slowly is not only interesting, but also a great knowledge."
Chang Shan's face was ashen, like a lifeless statue.
Looking at his smile, Tang Sanghua felt a chill down his spine, "You really are a devil."
"That's it." At this moment, a round of applause rang out in the restaurant. The one clapping was Huan Ji. Her smile was very dignified, but there was a kind of seductive charm to it. She looked at Yan Li with an amorous gaze, like a wild cat in heat.
"Young Master Yan's speech was very wonderful, but no matter why you stepped into this trap, I won't be polite and accept you as a cauldron."
Qi returned to Chang Shan's body, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He then gritted his teeth, "Huan Ji, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill him!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me?" Huan Ji's pretty face turned cold, and she raised her hand to slap him away. Weak people can't resist insults.
Chang Shan screamed and knocked over more than ten tables and chairs. He was almost buried in them, and only one hand reached out. His angry face was almost twisted under the stimulation of the pain.
"I, I work for the Night King, and I am also from the Black Mountain. You, you dare to hit me?"
"My Lord said that useless things should be thrown away."
Huan Ji turned to Yan Li and smiled charmingly, trying to seduce him, "Young Master Yan, I will help you. Let him become a walking corpse. Set up the formation! "
As soon as she finished speaking, the 72 White Impermanence around the restaurant started to make hand signs and mumble, like members of some evil cult holding some kind of evil ceremony.
"What is this?" Tang Sanghua was shocked, because when some indecipherable syllables echoed in the restaurant, it suddenly became distorted.
Chang Shan's willpower was the weakest. As if he had seen something terrifying, he screamed in fear, flipped over the tables and chairs on his body, and ran around the restaurant like a clown.
In front of Tang Sanghua's eyes, the interior of a small room that was locked up in the middle of the night appeared. There was an oil lamp on the wooden table, a ball of meat rolled together on a broken couch, and a two-year-old girl lying in the corner of the room surrounded by straw mats. Hunger, pain, shock, humiliation … She was shocked, and sat down listlessly, muttering to herself. Tears fell from her listless eyes.
"Mother …" Her voice was hoarse and sorrowful.
Yan Li didn't know what had happened to her, but he didn't have it easy.
The restaurant was no longer a restaurant, but the courtyard of the Bai Residence. The weeds were gone, but the weapon rack was on the ground. There was a pot of oil in the middle, and a fire was burning under it. The oil in the pot was boiling, moving up and down like endless waves.
He couldn't move, and he was tied to a pillar next to the pot of oil. The black chains seemed to be made of black essence gold.
"A very familiar scene, right?" A voice said.
Huan Ji walked over to him, licking her sexy red lips, her eyes like silk. "When I found out you were a survivor of the Bai Residence, I was very shocked. Our backgrounds are very similar."
"This is an illusion?" Yan Li's face became completely calm, all smiles gone, and he was terrifyingly quiet. "You know my identity because you used an illusion on me that night."
"You saw through me. This servant wanted to keep you in suspense and whet your appetite."
"Your illusion can only pry into recent memories."
"What keen insight." Huan Ji was a little shocked. "How did you know?"
Yan Li said expressionlessly, "I heard about the destruction of the Bai Residence from someone else's mouth. I didn't have a specific image, so you could only create a pot of oil. If you wanted to break my mind, wouldn't it be easier to recreate the scene back then? You didn't do that, which means you can't obtain more distant memories, and you don't know what my parents looked like. "
"I really can't bear to use torture on you." Huan Ji's eyes were misty as she gently caressed Yan Li's face, "However, there is one thing you didn't say correctly. It's not that I can't, but the more distant the memory, the bigger it is. With my cultivation, I just can't handle it."
"Do you really think your illusion is effective on me?"
Her sharp nails slashed across his face, causing blood to flow out.
"I don't like my man to be too good looking, as he will be coveted. En, just one isn't enough, it increases my manliness. Just a few more …"
Thus, Yan Li's face quickly became a bloody mess, and it was almost impossible to tell his original appearance.
Compared to the other intense pain, the stinging pain on his face was more like a slow poison, constantly wearing away at his willpower.
This was an illusion! But it was really painful, not just a normal kind of pain. It was as if the original pain had been increased by a hundred times. After the endless pain, the numbness was just an illusion, and there was a higher realm.
"Now do you think your illusion is effective on you?" Huan Ji was very satisfied with her work.
"It's useless at all …"
"You're still being stubborn. As long as you give in, you won't have to suffer anymore. Why do you men always not learn to be obedient without suffering a bit?"
Yan Li suddenly clenched his teeth, his body violently trembling, as if he was experiencing unbearable pain, and he almost cried out in pain.
No matter who it was that had their finger broken, they would have the same reaction.
Huan Ji smelled the broken finger in an intoxicated manner, "Such a masculine smell of blood, it must taste delicious."
