Gu Luolin didn't quite understand what was going on.
Why was it that Ye Zichen and the Thousand Faced Yao Lord had reached the point of no return? After shedding all pretenses of cordiality, they couldn't coexist, and could only stop when one of them stepped over the other's corpse.
However, the atmosphere that had been slightly tense earlier had eased up at this moment.
The two of them weren't in a hurry to attack. They simply chatted amongst themselves.
Gu Luolin didn't understand why things were like this. Her seniors had always been decisive in killing. They didn't have time to waste on useless chatter. If they could attack, they should.
The Gu Family was the same. If they didn't like anyone, they'd beat them up.
If they won, not only would the family not punish them, they might even reward them.
Just now, she'd prepared to fight alongside Ye Zichen several times, but he still hadn't attacked. Gu Luolin was frantic!
Pity this, pity that. Who could take pity on a little cutie like her?
Gu Luolin blinked her large, impatient eyes and pouted. She didn't dare say anything. Although the two of them hadn't attacked yet, she could sense the thick smell of gunpowder between them.
All they needed was a spark to ignite the fuse between them.
They should be attacking soon!
"Star Lord Ye ….."
The Thousand Faced Yao Lord smiled. Even when he heard Ye Zichen say he pitied him, his smile was still as ludicrous as ever.
However, this smile instantly transformed into a venomous snake's gaze, so cold that it made one's heart tremble.
"I don't care if you feel sorry for the state of the universe, but their deaths have nothing to do with me. All I can say is that they were stupid. If they could understand my methods as well as Star Lord Ye did, they wouldn't have died. Also, don't think so highly of them. They died because they were greedy. "
Ye Zichen didn't know what the dead had experienced, but from the Thousand Faced Yao Lord's words, he could tell that they'd been tempted by something, which led them to their doom.
However, none of that mattered. They were already dead. Even if he talked about them, it didn't matter.
The Thousand Faced Yao Lord's eyes flashed with a sinister light. His neck twisted several times as if it had no bones. When Gu Luolin saw this, she covered her face in fright.
At this moment, the Thousand Faced Demon Lord's head returned to its normal position and smiled evilly. "Pity me, Star Lord Ye. Do you know that you're about to die, yet you still have the time to pity me? If you have that kind of heart, why don't you take pity on yourself? You clearly know that there's something wrong with me, but you're still stupid enough to stay in this secret room with me. For pity's sake, for pity's sake, after thy death, I showed thy face to the people.
Let them become my nourishment when they are completely unguarded! "
"When I said I pity you, I really do. You … are a pitiful person."
Ye Zichen continued to look at the Thousand Faced Yao Lord with a pitiful gaze. His eyelids drooped as if he was a Bodhisattva.
Under this gaze, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord felt as though everything about him was being seen through.
Those pitch-black eyes were like a sharp blade that ruthlessly pierced into the bottom of his heart, prying open all of his dust-covered past and lingering in front of his eyes.
For some reason, his eyes reminded the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord of an old man he had met when he was young.
At that time, he was still a small demon snake that had yet to transform, and the old man was just an ordinary cultivator.
Of course, back then, the old man was a peerless expert in his eyes.
When the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord was injured, the old man took him in. Even though the old man knew he was a cold-blooded snake, he still treated the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord as if he were his own child.
He taught the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord martial techniques and bought pills that could increase his cultivation.
Just like that, the old man, who had given his all to the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord like a father, was ambushed and devoured by the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord while he was out picking medicinal herbs. The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord sucked all of his spiritual energy dry.
When the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord ambushed the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's gaze was exactly the same.
There was even a hint of pity in his eyes!
After devouring the old man, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord took on the old man's appearance, but whenever he saw water, he would always remember the old man's gaze. The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord frantically grabbed at his own face, then found a random passerby and devoured it. From then on, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord never appeared in front of others.
Tens of thousands of years had passed. He thought he'd forgotten …..
But he remembered it clearly.
"Look … What a pitiful person …" Ye Zichen sighed softly, then looked at the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord with a burning gaze. He saw the changes in the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's expression. "I told you, you're a pitiful person. That's the truth, isn't it?"
"Shut up!" "Have you always regretted following your beastly instincts and killing the old man who treated you like a father? When it's late at night, have you thought back to when you were still a little snake and followed the old man's side to pick medicinal herbs, listen to his teachings and practice martial arts?
Ye Zichen frowned.
"You …"
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord was stunned.
That's impossible!
Staying by the old man's side was a memory of his childhood. Back then, he was merely a little snake yao that had yet to take human form. Nobody would know what happened back then.
Could he really see into the depths of my heart!?
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord instantly sealed off his thoughts. However, at that moment, Ye Zichen smiled, "Is it?
Even now, you still can't forget that old hero who saved your life when you were on the verge of death!? "
"You talk too much, and I've given you too much time. I thought that you would be able to say something that would interest me, but I didn't expect that you would start spouting nonsense. I have no interest in keeping you around any longer. Just follow the footsteps of the others in the tomb. Go! "
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's gaze darkened. He used his will to control the domain he'd long since placed around Ye Zichen. He wanted to kill him.
Even if Ye Zichen really did have the ability to see into his heart, it didn't matter. Dead people can't talk!
He was in no mood to look at the shock in Ye Zichen's eyes as his domain obliterated him. Ye Zichen's actions touched the depths of his heart. Even tearing him to shreds wouldn't resolve his hatred.
That Gu Luolin, Gu Xuande and Qingli's daughter …..
Her!
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord didn't want to keep her around.
However …..
"Demon Lord, there's another reason I said you were pitiful. That's because you took things for granted."
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord had no way of imagining that Ye Zichen was still standing on the pillar, alive and well. Ye Zichen was still looking at him with that pitiful expression. It was only now that he noticed that the domain he'd placed around Ye Zichen had been stripped away. It was no longer under his control.
"You think you're infallible and think I'm a fish on the chopping block, but why don't you consider that I've already suspected you? How could I possibly be stupid enough to walk right into your trap?"
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and let out a long sigh, then smiled at the Yao Lord.
He smiled at the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord and said, "You should be curious as to how I know about your past, right?
