Black Robe looked at him and said, his voice coming out of the hood like a gust of cold wind from the abyss. "Are you prepared to go crazy?"
Su Li was silent for a while, then a smile reappeared on his face. "What use is there in worrying? What use is there in going crazy? Right now, I have to think of a way to leave alive. As long as I live, she will definitely live. If I can't, then it won't be too late to go crazy at that time. "
Black Robe was calm and speechless. He was very clear that these words were not a threat, but a calm and objective statement of fact. If Su Li was able to escape from the encirclement that the demons had planned for a long time, then if his daughter were to die in the Garden of Zhou, he would definitely go crazy. Even the Demon Lord would not be willing to see such a chaotic scene.
"So I don't have to worry about anything." Su Li raised his eyes into the deep darkness and said, "As long as I don't die, which one of you dares to kill her?"
Black Robe laughed. "Logically speaking, it really is so, but you know, I will occasionally do some unreasonable things."
Su Li drew back his gaze and calmly looked at him. "You are the most mysterious person in the world, and also the most rational person. I don't believe that you would do such an irrational thing."
Black Robe calmly explained, "Because I've already promised someone else that your daughter will definitely die, so she will definitely die."
Su Li noticed that he was talking about someone else, a person.
"Who?"
Black Robe did not directly answer his question. He slowly said, "Back then, the Longevity Sect drowned your beloved in a cold pool. After you returned from the Southern Sea and learned of this matter, you angrily pulled out your sword and charged into the Longevity Sect. In a single night, you beheaded seventeen elders of the Longevity Sect … Everyone knows about this matter, but whether it's the Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect, the Holy Maiden of the south, or the Pope, or even the Tianhai Empress, none of them can say anything to you. Because your anger is reasonable, and if you go crazy, they can't do anything to you. They can only treat it as if it never happened."
Su Li thought of the events of the past. His expression did not change, but a hint of loneliness appeared on his face.
Black Robe continued, "But have you ever thought that while these true experts did not say anything and purposely forgot about this matter, there are some very weak people who will not forget about this matter, who will always want to make their voices heard? The people you killed, they also have descendants, and those people are also loved by others. "
After a moment of silence, Su Li suddenly said, "There is no need for you to keep your promises, especially to a human."
With these words, the temperature of the snowy plains suddenly dropped several degrees.
This of cold signified that movement had stopped, and it signified that the sword was to Sword.
It also represented that, in the situation where his daughter's life was in grave danger, Su Li had the thought of negotiating or even compromising.
To the infamous Junior Martial Uncle of Mount Li, this sort of attitude signified a compromise, a very large concession.
However, of of of of, he was of of.
"As a conspirator, I know better than anyone the importance of keeping promises, especially promises to humans. Of Su of of of Su., and of Of Dragon, I. of From a certain perspective, my promise is extremely precious, because it will definitely be fulfilled. Moreover, it represents Xuelao City's invitation to the entire world. "
Like, Black, "Black of of of of Li." Roof. "of of of of, of Black. of of.
The snowflakes continued to fall, and the cold night returned to normal. The mountainous figure of the Demon General slowly came to a stop on the outskirts.
An extremely clear and sharp whistle of a sword came from the night sky.
Su Li patted the sheath of his sword. With a light shake of his sleeve, the whistle of the sword came from the horizon. With a clang, the sword returned to its sheath, indescribably free and at ease.
In the outskirts, a black figure slightly swayed, like a mountain that was about to collapse. But in the end, he managed to hold on. It was just that the spear of cold metal in his hand, with a crack, snapped in two.
Su Li withdrew his sword from the night sky and conveniently broke the weapon of the seventh Demon General. He was truly indescribably strong.
But the Demon General did not reveal any expression of panic, nor did he show any anger. He coldly said, "Su Li, you are dead today."
Su Li looked at Black Robe and very seriously asked, "Am I really dead today?"
Black Robe replied, "Yes, we calculated thirty-seven times. You are dead without a doubt."
Hearing this, Su Li fell silent for a very long time.
He wanted to hear Black Robe's answer, because he believed in Black Robe's answer, but this was not the answer he wanted to hear.
Whether it was the human Saint expert or the husband and wife of White Emperor City, whether they were willing or not, they had to admit one thing.
After Wang Zhice's disappearance, the person in the entire continent who was most skilled at planning and calculating was this Demon Military Advisor who hid his body in Black Robe.
The plans that Black Robe made rarely failed, and the plans that he personally participated in had never had any problems.
Back then, Emperor Taizong had led countless experts and a million cavalry on a northern expedition to the demon territory, but in the end, he had returned without any success outside Xuelao City. This person was the greatest hero of the Demon race.
It had already been several hundred years since Black Robe had made a special plan to kill a human expert, until now.
He wanted to kill Su Li.
He had calculated thirty-seven times, and Su Li was still dead without a doubt.
Then, perhaps Su Li really did deserve to die.
Su Li himself also thought this way, but he did not think that he would necessarily die. "In order to kill me, you've done so many things. Just which one is real and which one is fake? Do you really want to kill those children in the Garden of Zhou, or do you want to use this matter to draw me out to kill them? If even you can't figure it out, perhaps I still have a chance. "
"All of them are real, but they could also be fake. However, killing you is the most real thing. Just like what I said before, those young people are the future of humanity, and you are the present of humanity. I am a vulgar person who lives in the present, so the first thing I do is naturally to kill you."
Black Robe calmly said, "Tianhai, the Pope, and the Holy Maiden, for the sake of humanity's future, have attempted to push for the confluence of the north and south. Why has it still not worked? Why has the south been able to hold out until now? The reason is not in the Longevity Sect, not in Scholartree Manor, but in Mount Li's Junior Martial Uncle, Su Li. So, how can I not kill you? "
Su Li replied, "If I die, the confluence of the north and south of humanity will not benefit you demons in the slightest."
Black Robe shook his head and said, "Not wanting to be swallowed up by the Zhou Dynasty, this is the thought of many southerners. You are only the sharpest and strongest sword of the southerners. Even if this sword is broken, those southerners will not change their minds. On the contrary, the one who will change their minds will be Tianhai. With that woman's ambition, if you no longer exist in this world, and those noble clans continue to attempt to resist the confluence of the north and south, then she will definitely lead her army south and bring the entire human territory under her rule. It's just that the confluence of the north and south will no longer rely on the general trend, but on the cavalry of the Great Zhou."
Su Li said nothing. This was a scene that was extremely likely to happen, and he could even clearly see it now.
"On that day, the human world will definitely be thrown into chaos. Tianhai will lead the army south, and His Majesty will lead the army south. South, ah, south … unceasingly south, from the world of ice and snow, to the warm land illuminated by the sun. That will be a journey strewn with corpses and blood. I don't know who will obtain the final victory, but this is the result that we want."
Black Robe calmly looked at him and said, "So, please go to the starry sky and reunite with your family. In a few years, when you look down on this world of desolation and death, please remember to give me a greeting."
… …
… …
Standing at the edge of the cliff, she held her hands behind her back as she gazed at those silky strands of mist. The cold wind was like a knife, but it was unable to scrape away the exhaustion on the white-clothed girl's face.
She had not slept or rested for two consecutive days, rushing about in the Garden of Zhou to save people, and continuously using the extremely taxing Sacred Light technique. Even she should have felt tired.
Exhaustion was not scary, what was scary was that hint of wariness in the depths of her heart.
The sound of the zither, the solitary tree behind her, and the void realm that enveloped the mountain path all made her feel an enormous danger.
Ever since she began cultivating the Dao as a child, ever since her bloodline had awakened, this was the greatest danger she had ever felt.
She did not know the specific reason, did not know who was waiting for her at the other end of the mountain path, did not know why her opponent had expended so much effort to create this void realm to separate her from the Garden of Zhou, and just what his intentions were.
But she knew that she should break open this void realm.
There was no reason for this, and there was no need for reason. Since her opponent had set up a trap to trap her, she naturally had to break it. Her opponent's void realm, she naturally had to destroy it.
She brought her finger to her lips and lightly bit it. Then, she discovered that she had not bitten through it, and could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
Then, she forcefully bit down again, her slender brows slightly knitted together in pain.
She looked at the bead of blood seeping out of her fingertip and furrowed her brows in displeasure.
She did not like pain, and she did not like hurting herself even more.
She extended her hand towards the abyss at the side of the mountain path.
The dark red bead of blood left her fingertip and fell into the misty strands of mist on the cliff.
As it fell, the color of the bead of blood began to change. It became redder and redder, more and more beautiful, brighter and brighter, until finally, it became gold.
It was just like a drop of melted gold, containing an unimaginable amount of energy.
The temperature around the mountain path rapidly rose. The layer of frost that had just covered the stone slab suddenly evaporated, and the solitary tree became even more withered.
The weeds that had grown from the cracks of the cliff with great difficulty were instantly burnt to ashes.
The bead of blood that was like gold fell into the mist.
There was only a sizzling sound.
There was a burst of light in the clouds, and the clouds were like cotton wadding that was instantly ignited.
In the midst of the lush mountain range, a great fire was suddenly ignited, illuminating the deep night as if it were daytime.
A single drop of blood had brought about such a spectacular scene.
Was this the might of the Heavenly Phoenix's true blood?
Seeing the once again clear and bright mountain range, her face revealed a satisfied expression, but in the next moment, her brows knitted together again.
She had bitten through her finger, and it really did hurt a little.
She brought her finger to her lips and gently blew on it, appearing extremely serious and focused.
At the same time, she softly muttered to herself, as if she was coaxing a child, "It doesn't hurt … it doesn't hurt … it doesn't hurt, be good."
… …
… …
From the day he entered Mount Li to learn the sword, Su Li's fate was set. He had to protect that mountain, and he also had to protect the entire south. So even though he spent the vast majority of his life wandering the four seas, he would return to Mount Li every once in a while to prove to the Empress in the capital and the demons further north that the iron sword was still there.
From the day her bloodline awakened, her fate was also set. She had to protect the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green, protect the Divine General of the East's estate, the Imperial Palace, and the Li Palace. Now, Holy Maiden Peak was added to the list. The things she had to protect were truly a little too many. In reality, in the end, it was unquestionably the entire human race.
How could she protect it? Why did she have to protect it? The most important reason, perhaps even the only reason, was of course the Heavenly Phoenix blood that flowed through her body. Because of this, everyone either doted on her or revered her, placing boundless expectations and hopes on her. However, no one knew that there were times when she really did not like the blood that flowed through her body.
That blood was too pure, too holy. As a result, in everyone's eyes, she was pure and holy. Thus, she, a person of Zhou born in the capital, had actually become the successor to Holy Maiden Peak in the south. However, she had never believed herself to be a pure and holy girl. Just like how the entire continent called her a Phoenix, she felt this title to be unbearably vulgar.
She creased her brow and blew on her fingertips. She looked at the faintly discernible horn of the devil in the burning mist and thought to herself, if I wasn't afraid of pain, I really might think of a way to bleed all the blood in my body dry. But could blood be bled dry? No, so she could calmly fear pain. If this was her fate, then she would first walk forward and think about it later.
The mist burned away, leaving only a clear expanse. The cliff returned to darkness, but it was brighter than before, giving off a feeling of safety.
She continued to walk along the mountain path.
… …
… …
Some people's fates were not determined at birth, or when their bloodline awakened, or when they were taken as a disciple of some expert.
It was somewhat sorrowful, and it was easy to inexplicably anger, that their fates were determined along with the fates of others.
At the peak at the end of the mountain path was the legendary Sunset Valley, the true Sunset Valley.
Sitting here, one could see the mystical suspended patterns of light in the plains.
The girl sat on the edge of the cliff, calmly gazing at the plains below. Her indifferent, wooden eyes were devoid of emotion.
She was called Nanke.
She was the Demon Lord's thirty-seventh daughter.
When she was born, the Demon Lord was extremely happy. Because she possessed the innate bloodline of the Peacock, he named her Nanke.
Nanke was the Peacock.
At that time, her fate should have been to receive her royal father's favor and then become the pride of the entire Demon race.
But when she was one year old, the blood of that girl in the south awakened and she formally began to cultivate.
Where there was a comparison, there was a difference.
And she was a member of the Imperial clan.
Thus, pride became embarrassment, even disgrace.
From that moment, her fate was finally determined.
Defeat that her, or kill that her.
… …
…
(Today, I'll post a picture on WeChat. It's probably the mountain path where Xu Yourong and Nanke fought. I have a special love for this type of mountain path. Someone used to write something called Nine Yin and Nine Yang, right? Tsk tsk, I have something important to tell everyone. This month, because of the Author's Summit that everyone knows about, I have to go out. Because of my geographical location, I have to spend more time than most authors … I will try my best to save up some manuscripts for the next few days to avoid missing chapters. If I really do, there is no other way. So, those who have a requirement for the number of chapters this month, please don't vote for Chosen Heaven's Diary. The number of chapters won't be that great. Yep, let me give you a bottom line. Although I don't have a bottom line, I guarantee that the number of chapters this month will be more than 140,000 words. Today is the first, which is also Monday. See you tomorrow.)
