Constantine's expression changed when he heard Ninian's words!
Little Tanuki?
That beauty from the Fox Clan actually had an affair with Lan Ling?
Constantine had been lusting after Little Tanuki for a long time, but she was his brother-in-law's wife after all, and he had to consider his second wife's thoughts, so he did not make a move on her.
He did not expect Lan Ling to seduce her and even murder her husband.
Constantine was instantly enraged!
"How did you find out?" Constantine asked.
Ninian said, "Lan Ling told me."
Constantine was stunned. "He even told you something like that? Does he have a death wish? "
Ninian said, "He has always had a death wish."
Constantine nodded. "As a foreign soldier, he actually seduced the wife of a high-ranking member of the tribe, and even murdered her husband. This is an absolute capital offense, enough to be sentenced to death."
"Men, go and capture Little Tanuki, Little Tanuki," Constantine shouted.
"Yes." Immediately, a dozen tribal warriors rushed toward Little Tanuki's house.
"What about Lan Ling?" Ninian asked.
Constantine said, "I'll go meet him first. Even if I die, I'll tell him the secret of the Ghost Realm before I die."
…
Inside the great hall of the Chieftain's castle.
Lan Ling was very quiet. He knew that every second that followed was a test of death.
However, his path of leading the foreign soldiers in rebellion would begin in this test of death!
In the entire hall, only Lan Ling and Constantine were left. The atmosphere was deathly stifling and silent.
"For hundreds and thousands of years, countless people have entered the Ghost Realm, but none have come out alive. Why did you come out alive, and why did your cultivation soar? "Constantine said," What did you experience in the Ghost Realm? "
Lan Ling said, "After entering the Ghost Realm, I saw a pyramid, a pyramid tens of thousands of meters tall. The sky inside was dark, and the sky was often torn apart, striking with green lightning. "
Constantine said, "From the outside, it looks like a season every day inside, and the scenery is magnificent."
Lan Ling said, "That's not the case inside. It's a Ghost Realm inside."
Constantine asked, "And then?"
Lan Ling said, "Then, in front of me were four gates, the four gates of spring, summer, autumn, and winter."
"Strange." Constantine smiled.
Lan Ling said, "I entered the Gate of Summer first. After entering, there were tens of thousands of steps leading to the top of the pyramid. I walked up step by step, the temperature rising ten degrees with each step. Every time I walked more than a hundred steps, I was burned to death. "
"Burned to death? And then? "Constantine asked.
"After I died, I didn't know how long it took for me to wake up and resurrect outside the gate." Lan Ling said, "Then I continued to enter the Gate of Summer and continued to climb. I don't know how many times I've died. I can't remember, but the highest I've climbed was the 200th step. Then I gave up the Summer Gate and entered the Winter Gate. "
Constantine said, "The temperature of the Gate of Winter must have dropped by ten degrees with every step up?"
"It was one degree." Lan Ling said, "Because the low temperature is more terrifying than the high temperature. I tried countless times and died countless times, but in the end, I didn't climb up to the 200th step. I was frozen to death every time. "
Constantine said, "There were tens of thousands of steps to the top of the pyramid?"
"Yes." Lan Ling said, "I didn't even complete one percent."
Constantine said, "And then?"
Lan Ling said, "Then I entered the Gate of Spring."
Constantine asked curiously, "What's inside the Gate of Spring?"
Lan Ling said, "Compared to the first two gates, the Gate of Spring is like heaven. The spring breeze inside is intoxicating and extremely comfortable. When I climbed up step by step, I didn't feel anything strange. But when I climbed to the 30th step, I felt my body itch. When I climbed to the 50th step, my body began to rot. Countless microorganisms and bacteria grew in my body. Before I reached the 100th step, my whole body completely rotted into meat paste and I died. "
Suddenly, Constantine felt a chill.
He really hadn't thought of dying in such a way.
Lan Ling said, "After my resurrection, I didn't enter the Gate of Spring again. Instead, I chose the Gate of Autumn."
Constantine said, "What's inside the Gate of Autumn?"
Lan Ling said, "Gravity doubled. Every time I climbed a step, my weight doubled. Basically, when I climbed more than a hundred steps, my whole body began to collapse, my bones shattered, and my body turned into a pile of meat paste. "
Constantine said with a smile, "Autumn is the season of harvest. It's a heavy season. Interesting. So did you climb tens of thousands of steps in the end? "
Lan Ling said, "No, I kept crawling and kept dying. At that time, I was really desperate and desperately looked for other places to exit, but there was no exit at all. I also didn't know how many times I committed suicide, but in this ghost realm, I couldn't even die. The only exit was the top of the pyramid. So, I could only return to the Gate of Autumn again and keep climbing … Climbing for maybe three years, five years, eight years, ten years … "
Constantine's eyes narrowed. "You were in there for only a month."
Lan Ling shook his head. "Not a month, but ten years."
Then, Lan Ling stretched out his arm. It was densely covered in scars, and he didn't know how many there were.
"Every time I died, I would make a cut on my arm. In the end, my entire arm couldn't fit," Lan Ling said, "I climbed very slowly. Sometimes, it took me one or two days to die."
Constantine looked at the dense scars and said, "In other words, you died hundreds, thousands of times?"
"Yes," Lan Ling said, "So, I was in there for ten years, not a month."
Immediately, Constantine received an important piece of information.
Lan Ling had cultivated for ten years to have such a big improvement, not a month.
Moreover, this improvement came at the price of countless deaths. Even though it was a world of ghosts, where one would be resurrected after death, it was still death.
"What's your current cultivation?" Constantine asked.
"Level-10 Magic Warrior," Lan Ling said, "In these ten years, I broke through more than ten levels."
This speed was shocking, but it was not unique. Du Yan could also break through more than ten levels in ten years, and that was normal training, not hellish training like this.
Constantine said, "Then how did you climb to the top of the pyramid in the end? Tens of thousands of steps are millions of kilograms of weight. You can't bear it at all."
Lan Ling said, "I kept climbing, climbing, climbing, but in the end, I didn't surpass level 300. I felt that I wouldn't be able to get out even if I had a hundred years. Moreover, I died countless times in there, and I gained experience from dying. Every time I was about to die, my body would be destroyed first, then my consciousness would be extinguished, and my soul would be extinguished. The death of the soul is always a little later than the death of the body. So, the moment my body was destroyed, I used the Astral Projection Technique to let my soul leave my body. "
Constantine's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lan Ling really was a genius. This method was truly amazing, because the soul was weightless.
Lan Ling said, "I succeeded. My soul successfully left my body and became a ray of light. Then, I continued climbing. I thought that the soul was weightless, but I didn't expect it to be so. After climbing a few thousand steps, my soul started to shrink, becoming smaller and smaller. Finally, at the tens of thousands of steps, it condensed into a ball of light. But in the end, I still climbed to the top of the pyramid. "
Constantine's eyes widened, and he stared at Lan Ling. "What's at the top of the pyramid?"
Lan Ling said, "It's a majestic hall, with countless beauties and luxurious clothes. Inside is a flourishing empire. There's a king hundreds of meters tall, sitting on a golden throne in the hall, and below him are thousands of civil and military officials. "
"And then?" Constantine asked anxiously.
Lan Ling said, "The king said that I'm the second person to climb to the top of the pyramid in a few thousand years, so he's going to make me the second marshal of the empire. There, I'll be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Constantine asked, "You didn't stay behind?"
Lan Ling shook her head and said, "No, because I saw this civil and military official wearing golden armor and a silk cloak. But in the blink of an eye, they turned into armor made of branches and cloaks made of leaves. The luxurious clothes in their hands turned into wild fruits and muddy water in the blink of an eye. These civil and military officials, who looked majestic and dignified, have turned into skinny barbarians with messy and messy eyes. "
Constantine said, "In other words, it's all fake?"
"Yes, it's all an illusion." Lan Ling said, "These thousands of barbarians are the ones who entered the ghost realm in the past few decades. They're all immersed in the illusion."
Constantine said, "That can't be right. You went through so much to climb to the top of the pyramid. Others might not be able to do the same, so why did thousands of people reach the top?"
Lan Ling said, "The illusion is different for everyone. If you want to become stronger, you'll reach the top of the pyramid. If you want wealth and beauties, they're all different illusions."
Constantine sighed, "I understand."
Lan Ling said, "When I saw through the illusion, my surroundings began to change. The pyramid disappeared, and I found myself at the top of a mountain. In front of me was a natural mirror, as if it was created by lightning. Then, I came out from the mountain. "
"You came out just like that?" Constantine asked.
"Yes," Lan Ling said.
Constantine nodded, then got up and walked away, entering the secret room at the back.
Second Madam Sisi was sitting there.
"Was he telling the truth?" Constantine asked.
Second Madam Sisi had a unique talent, the ability to discern truth from lies. Even if someone was lying, she would be able to tell the difference.
"It's true." Second Madam Sisi said, "If I'm not wrong, that mirror should be the ruins of a demon god. An ancient demon god passed by and reflected on the mirror, leaving behind a blurry shadow. Over time, it became a powerful psychic force. Anyone who enters will have their mind captured by it and become addicted to it. Lan Ling was able to see through the illusion and leave because he saw through the prosperity of the human world. He had almost no desires. "
"No desires?" Constantine asked.
Second Madam Sisi said, "He has experienced everything, so he naturally has no desires."
Constantine nodded, once again falling into deep thought.
According to him, he only broke through to the tenth level after ten years of cultivation in the illusion. That didn't seem like a fast cultivation speed. But in the real world, only a month had passed. His cultivation speed could no longer be described as astonishing.
"Sisi, do you think he should be killed?" Constantine asked.
Second Madam Sisi narrowed her eyes, "It would be a pity to kill him, but not to kill him would cause trouble in the future!"
Suddenly, Constantine's heart skipped a beat.
Lan Ling had seduced Nini and Little Tanuki. Then what about Second Madam Sisi?
To women, Lan Ling was like poison. If he was allowed to live, wouldn't Sisi be attracted to him in the future?
No, he had to die!
…
Constantine appeared again, his face as cold as frost. "Lan Ling, you had an affair with Little Tanuki and murdered your husband. Is that true?"
When she heard this, Lan Ling's expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly and said, "Nini … Nini told you?"
"What else?" Constantine sneered.
"How could she do that? She promised not to tell," Lan Ling said sternly.
"As a foreign soldier, you had an affair with the wife of a high-ranking member of the tribe and murdered your husband. You're courting death." Constantine sneered. "Men, throw Lan Ling into the dungeon!"
Immediately, four tribal warriors came forward and used iron shackles to grab Lan Ling, sending her to the dungeon.
"Get Nini to see me, get her to see me …" Lan Ling screamed with all his might.
At the same time, Little Tanuki, a beautiful young woman from the Fox clan, was brought in. Her beautiful face was pale and filled with fear.
Seeing the shackled Lan Ling, she somehow mustered up the courage to shout, "Chief, I seduced Lan Ling. It has nothing to do with him, nothing to do with him. Just execute me. Lan Ling is a genius. He'll be useful to you. "
Lan Ling's heart trembled when he heard that. Boundless guilt welled up in him.
He really didn't expect Little Tanuki to be so infatuated.
But … he used her. Not only did he use her to murder Gou Fu, but he also used her to lead the foreign troops to independence.
However, Constantine was even more furious when he heard this.
You're good, Lan Ling. You're poison to women. Little Tanuki, this beauty, is still willing to die for you at this time?
This made Constantine extremely jealous.
"Take them all to the dungeon. Tomorrow morning, we'll hold a public trial and execute them publicly!" Constantine shouted.
Then, Lan Ling and Little Tanuki were both taken to the dungeon.
"Chief, I seduced Lan Ling. It has nothing to do with him, nothing to do with him …" Little Tanuki kept shouting even though she was taken to the dungeon.
Lan Ling suddenly shouted, "Don't be afraid, Little Tanuki. I'll definitely save you."
"Slap …" Constantine couldn't take it anymore. He slapped Lan Ling across the face. Lan Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and lost feeling in half of his face.
"You're already dead. Don't even think about it," Constantine said coldly.
Then, the four warriors dragged Lan Ling into the dungeon like a dead dog!
…
This dungeon was made of several feet thick boulders. It was absolutely impossible to escape from it.
Lan Ling's shoulder blade was pierced through by iron hooks after he was thrown into the dungeon. He was suspended in the air.
He closed his eyes as if he couldn't feel the pain.
From the moment he defeated Du Yan, the path of leading the foreign army in rebellion and independence had already begun.
His and Little Tanuki's capture was the first step of the plan!
Next, he should immediately enter the second step.
And the key person in the second step was Ninian, this vicious woman.
…
"There's a letter from Luosha City," Constantine said, "The Young Barbarian King is willing to meet you. You'll leave for Luosha City tomorrow."
Ninian's face trembled. She had finally reached this step. She had offered herself to the Young Barbarian King as his concubine.
"Father, Lan Ling will hold a public trial and be publicly beheaded tomorrow, right?" Ninian asked.
Constantine nodded and said, "Yes."
Ninian said, "Then, I want to see him for the last time!"
