Jiang Wang held his breath in concentration, even his heart stopped beating.
The flawless concealment allowed him to blend in perfectly with the environment. The method Yin Guan used on it allowed him to temporarily deceive Divine Advent cultivators.
However, this wasn't foolproof.
What kind of existence was Song Hengjiang? He had already made a name for himself several hundred years ago, a character from the same era as Zhuang Chengqian.
Even if Yin Guan himself was here, he wouldn't dare say that he could avoid Song Hengjiang's gaze.
Perhaps because he had spent too much energy on the Lanhe Battlefield, Song Hengjiang's aged appearance was very obvious. His body was bent, and his expression was tired.
Walking in this underwater cave, he looked especially powerless, just like any old man at the end of his life.
Or perhaps it was only because there was no one around that Song Hengjiang was willing to show his old age.
The great Lord of Clear River, who had made a name for himself several hundred years ago, was at least a Divine Advent cultivator. He should have a golden body and a jade marrow, his cultivation undying. Looking at him now, it was obvious that something had gone wrong.
Walking in the cave, he glanced at the stone coffins very casually, then walked directly to the cave on the left — right next to where Jiang Wang was hiding.
As Song Hengjiang slowly approached, Jiang Wang's heart tightened.
This wasn't an ordinary old man, but a peerless monster that was temporarily dozing off.
A huge pressure hung over his heart, causing him to feel a little cold.
He didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands, but the huge difference in strength left him with no choice.
The difference between life and death could be just a blink of an eye.
Song Hengjiang walked to the stone coffins, then raised his feet and walked into the cave on the left without stopping.
Jiang Wang gently closed his eyes, letting out a long sigh in his heart.
Song Hengjiang clearly didn't think that anyone would be hiding here, so he didn't check inch by inch too seriously, walking directly into the cave.
"He's about to die," Jiang Yan said in Tongtian Palace, his voice somewhat rueful.
Jiang Wang immediately woke up and said hesitantly, "The Water Clan's lifespan is naturally longer, and he's such a powerful cultivator … how could this be?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a while, probably thinking carefully, then said, "He should have suffered some irreversible injury. Back then, he was one of the top cultivators of Shenlin. With his talent, he should have reached True Insight long ago. Now, it's still Gods' Descent. That in itself is a problem. "
Jiang Wang guessed, "If he really did suffer some irreversible injury in his early years, then he must have been injured. Raising these yin devils, could it be related to his injuries? "
Jiang Yan's voice was light as a feather. "Who knows?"
At this time, Song Hengjiang's voice sounded in the inner cave.
"Another year has passed."
He sighed.
He seemed to be talking to someone, and his voice sounded very old.
"It has already been … 218 years."
"Wanxi. It's been 218 years. Are you in pain? "
Pity?
No, it sounded like a person's name.
"Was there a famous person named Wanxi in the Zhuang State more than two hundred years ago?" he asked Jiang Yan in the Tongtian Palace.
"How would I know?" Jiang Yan said impatiently.
Jiang Wang didn't dare to move or relax. The feeling of being in the middle of the two strange blood patterned sarcophagi was very uncomfortable. It gave him the illusion that he was already a dead man.
Also, those blood patterns really twisted people's hearts and harmed their souls.
He could only focus on his hearing and listen to Song Hengjiang's voice in the inner cave.
Song Hengjiang should be talking to himself because Jiang Wang didn't hear any response from beginning to end.
"I went to the Lan River again."
"That old bastard is completely dead. His descendants are all good-for-nothings. In the entire Lan River, there isn't a single member of the Water Race who can stand in front of me. It was because of Beigong Yu's appearance that the Lan River Underwater Residence wasn't completely destroyed. "
"Ha, old thing."
Song Hengjiang's voice suddenly sounded melancholy. "Unknowingly, I'm also the old thing people call me …"
"Gao Xian is very promising. He's already a Perfected Person, but he's not a thing. "
"He doesn't respect the Water Race or the ancient covenant. He doesn't remember Zhuang Chengqian's promise. He doesn't know that he … "
"He actually forced me to ally with the Luo State to attack Yong. Do you know? He doesn't care about the hatred and persistence of the Water Race at all. But because of you … because of you, Wanxi, I still have expectations for him. "
"Expectations have been disappointed again and again."
"I'm willing to risk universal condemnation and interfere with the change of royal power to help him sit on the throne. But in the end, he's not tolerant of the Water Race. "
"I hope he's as pure and kind as you, but he's more like Zhuang Chengqian. No, he's colder than Zhuang Chengqian. "
"He actually used Qingyue and Qingzhi's lives to threaten me. Do you know? Although he didn't say it out loud, I can completely feel his coldness. Now that the situation is stronger than the person, I can only drag this rotten and sickly body to fight the Lan River again. If you knew these things, you'd be so sad … "
"Was it Han Yin who forced him to this state? I hope so … "
Song Hengjiang was like all the old people in their twilight years, rambling endlessly.
"Now Han Yin is already dead. There aren't many old friends left, no matter if they're enemies or friends. On the way here, I thought for a while, but I couldn't think of anything. I don't know if I'm too old, or if they died too cleanly. "
"Death isn't a big deal. I've long been prepared. I've held on for so many years, all for the Water Race of Qingjiang. Now that Qingyue has grown up, he can do many things better than me. I can rest assured. Only Qingzhi is still too young, she's still very insensible … "
"In this way, Qingyue also has his shortcomings. He's too proud, he's never willing to lower his head. I'm afraid that after I leave, Gao Xian won't be able to tolerate him … "
"But what should I do?"
"This day will eventually come …"
"Sigh. What's that saying again? 'Death is the only fairness', right? "
"Wanxi, I don't know if I'm more selfish or if I'm more loving towards you. Perhaps you've been in pain all these years? "
"When I leave, I'll take you with me."
"That day will come soon … very soon …"
"Do you still remember the water duckweed flower? The day it blooms on the water's surface, it's the end of its journey. "
Song Hengjiang spoke slowly, one sentence after another, it was all over the place. Just like all the old people who talked to the people close to them.
They would always take the trouble to share trivial things.
But Jiang Wang already had no way to carefully decipher the information in Song Hengjiang's words, because there was an even more realistic and terrifying matter in front of him — when Yin Guan cast the technique on the Invisibility Cloak, he couldn't possibly put too much power into it. Therefore, the method he set up had a certain time limit. And from that nameless green mountain, all the way here, the time limit was almost up!
Yin Guan had added three methods to the Invisibility Cloak. One was used when he was using the Jiujiang Profound Armor to look at Du Yehu. Another was used when he killed Dong A. Now, this was already the last time.
The Invisibility Cloak's concealment effect was almost useless when facing a Divine Advent cultivator. Once the method Yin Guan left on the Invisibility Cloak lost its effect, he would be standing naked in front of Song Hengjiang.
That would be death.
There would be no room for resistance.
The time left for this concealment was extremely limited, and Song Hengjiang was still there talking endlessly.
Those slow words actually sounded like the rites of a funeral … it was irrevocably approaching!
