"What's wrong?" Tang Thirty-Six asked.
In front of the precipice, when Chen Changsheng wanted to confirm whether or not that tourist-like man was the legendary Wang Zhice, the other had silently smiled and only shook his head. However, the old man with him had very seriously said that this was a secret of the heavens that could not be revealed, or else he would suffer the wrath of the heavens …
"This matter … it seems like I shouldn't say it."
Chen Changsheng turned to Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu and uneasily said, "You can't tell anyone else."
Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu looked at each other for the third time today.
The room fell silent once more.
After some time, Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu nodded their heads.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chang Sheng felt relieved. He knew very well that his two friends, as long as they promised something, they would definitely do it.
"Your life … is truly good."
Tang Thirty Six looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said. His tone was very emotional and one could even feel a hint of envy. Money could make the gods move. There were very few things in this world that Tang Thirty Six couldn't do, so he rarely envied others. However, Chen Chang Sheng's luck was enough to make him envious.
The legendary Wang Zhice was actually still alive, and when he reappeared in the world, Chen Changsheng saw him, and it just so happened to be when he was being pursued by the Demon Lord. At that moment, besides someone like Wang Zhice who should have never appeared, who could save him?
After coming to the capital from Xining, Chen Changsheng had heard far too many evaluations of his good fate. He naturally knew that his fate was not good, but after being praised so many times, he couldn't help but think that perhaps the fortune he had encountered was the starry sky's compensation for his fate?
Tang Thirty-Six asked in confusion, "Since Lord Wang is still alive, why hasn't he appeared in all these years?"
Zhexiu expressionlessly asked, "Why would he appear?"
Tang Thirty-Six answered, "Whether it's to resist the demons or to strengthen my Great Zhou …"
At this point, he stopped, because he understood the meaning of Zhexiu's words. No one knew what had happened to Wang Zhice before he disappeared, but the entire continent knew that Emperor Taizong had never liked him. And if he really did appear, how would the Great Zhou Imperial Court treat him?
As for resisting the demons … Wang Zhice had already done too much. The entire human world had no right to demand more from him.
"How many days was I out?" Only now did he remember to ask this question.
Tang Thirty-Six was still immersed in the shock that Wang Zhice was still alive and ignored him.
Zhexiu extended five fingers, like a palm.
As it turned out, he had already been unconscious for five days. It was unknown what had happened in Mount Han during these five days. Chen Chang Sheng asked, "What's new?"
Zhexiu thought it over and realized that there was too much to say, so he shook his head and slapped Tang Thirty-Six on the back, waking him up.
Tang Thirty-Six spoke of the tense situation in the continent and the tense atmosphere in Mount Han.
"Then … will the Boiling Stone Summit continue?"
"Based on Mao Qiuyu and Linghai Zhiwang's attitude, if you had remained unconscious, they would have brought you back to the capital, and the convention would naturally have ended. But now you're awake."
"The participants of the Boiling Stone Summit have all arrived? Did you encounter any danger? "
Tang Thirty Six looked at him meaningfully and said, "Everyone who should be here is here. It's fine."
Upon hearing the news that Chen Changsheng had awoken, Mao Qiuyu and Linghai Zhiwang entered the house to inquire. After confirming that there were no major problems with his body, they withdrew their proposal to return to the capital. Important figures from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets also came to visit. Their attitudes were very respectful, even overly humble, and they even said that in a few days, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets would personally take care of him and so on …
Chen Changsheng was somewhat confused, thinking, even if I'm the successor to the Pope, there's no need for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to be so careful, let alone the fact that the Elder of Heavenly Secrets is the leader of the Storms of the Eight Directions. What sort of status does he have? And then he thought about how in a few days, could the Elder of Heavenly Secrets have suffered significant injuries when the Demon Lord broke out of the array?
As he thought about these questions and even more, time gradually passed and soon it was late at night. The people both inside and outside the house were already asleep. The Orthodoxy cavalry and the experts of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were vigilantly patrolling nearby. It was quiet all around, and one could clearly hear the lapping of the lake water against the rocks.
After waking up, Chen Changsheng asked Tang Thirty-Six if everyone participating in the Boiling Stone Summit had arrived and if they had encountered any danger. Tang Thirty-Six replied that everyone that should have arrived had arrived. There seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words, but it was because only he knew who Chen Changsheng truly wanted to ask about.
When everyone on the summit was asleep, the person that should have arrived had finally arrived.
The window was pushed open, allowing the faint and warm lake wind to drift in. At the same time, a graceful figure drifted in.
Accompanied by the lake wind, this figure drifted directly to his bed. Sitting down, she softly asked, "How are you?"
Chen Chang Sheng looked at her limpid eyes and saw the concern in her eyes. He suddenly realized that being injured wasn't something hard to accept.
"I'm fine, really."
The person who had come was naturally Xu Yourong.
Even though Chen Changsheng said that he was fine, she still did not relax. Closing her eyes, she raised her right hand and aimed it at the space between his eyebrows.
A pure and holy light descended and entered Chen Changsheng's body.
There were very few people in the world that could use the Sacred Light technique to such a level. Other than the Pope and the three cardinals of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green, she was probably the strongest.
Chen Changsheng only felt a cool breeze caress his face and then enter his body. The true essence in his meridians joyfully flowed like a spring stream, his injuries gradually healing.
"Thank you."
"Just who was that person?"
The previous Holy Maiden of the south had floated away with Su Li. Now that South Stream Temple was being led by a young girl like Xu Yourong, there were some information that could not be known too accurately.
"It should have been the Demon Lord," Chen Changsheng replied.
The room was very quiet. After a very long time, Xu Yourong patted the back of his hand and said, "It's fine as long as you're fine."
It was obvious that she had never done anything to comfort anyone before, so both her clapping and her tone of voice seemed rather stiff or clumsy.
She did not ask how Chen Changsheng had survived, but Chen Changsheng did not intend to hide it from her, even though he had told Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu during the day that this matter could not be mentioned.
"I might have encountered Lord Wang Zhice."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Yourong was truly shocked. That middle-aged scholar had created countless bloody and terrifying scenes by the stream, revealing an incomparably powerful strength. Coupled with the reactions of the experts of the human world, she had long ago basically confirmed that he was the Demon Lord. She just needed Chen Changsheng to give her the final confirmation, but she had not expected that she would learn from Chen Changsheng that Wang Zhice was still alive.
To her, this was even more shocking than the reappearance of the Demon Lord.
Wang Zhice had a very special status in the history of the human world. Back then, when the allied armies of humans and demi-humans fought against the demon cavalry, Emperor Taizong was the commander-in-chief, the leader, while Wang Zhice was the deputy commander. He personally led the allied armies tens of thousands of li into the snowy plains, pressing straight for Xuelao City. In terms of merit, he was not one whit inferior to Emperor Taizong, and could even be said to be the greatest merit. If not for the coup of the Hundred Herb Garden and some other complicated reasons that made Emperor Taizong deeply dislike and fear him, he would definitely have the right to be ranked first in the Lingyan Pavilion.
Although this news was very shocking, Xu Yourong still very quickly came to her senses and asked, "Why did the Demon Lord want to kill you?"
In Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu's view, how Chen Changsheng had survived the Demon Lord's attack was the most important matter, and they believed that everyone was most concerned about this question. Xu Yourong did not think this way. She was much calmer and more clear-headed, so she directly asked about the true crux of the matter.
