"This little brother's Life Flying Sword." Yang Chen still had to answer Ao Lan's question. As he thought about his own matters, Yang Chen casually spoke.
"What's with the killing intent?" Ao Lan had never seen Yang Chen use the Immortal Slaying Saber at full power. In the past, she had only seen Yang Chen use the Immortal Slaying Saber to chop people or use that black hoop to smash people. She had never seen the Immortal Slaying Saber display its might. Something that could stun her, a peak Golden Immortal, for a moment was definitely not simple.
"This little brother was born an executioner in the mundane world." Yang Chen smiled as he replied, "This saber originally had a soaring scarlet flame. This little brother used it to kill tens of millions of Underground Spirit Beasts. Then, it merged with at least four of the Magic Treasures of the Demonic Dao's bloodthirsty senior. After that, it merged with this little brother's second Primordial Spirit as the Item Spirit. When the killing intent is released, ordinary cultivators would not even be able to handle half of it. Big Sister, you were only stunned for a moment. This is already the strongest expert that this little brother has ever seen. "
The latter part of Xiao Chen's words were clearly praising Ao Lan, trying to make her feel better. The earlier parts were half-truths and half-lies, which could also be considered answers.
Of course, they could not be said to be lies. They were just hiding things. If Ao Lan really knew a lot of things, then she would be able to make many connections based on the earlier part about Yang Chen being an executioner. This could be seen from the upper echelon of the Profound Heaven Gate. They even guessed that Yang Chen was the executioner in charge of the Immortal Slaying Platform.
If Ao Lan could not guess it herself, Yang Chen would not have taken the initiative to reveal his origins. There were some things, especially his own background, that Xiao Chen could not let others know in too much detail.
"It looks like when you asked about slaying the dragon back then, you were not just asking!" Ao Lan sighed as she recalled the question Yang Chen asked her in the past. With such a powerful killing weapon by his side, the matter of slaying the dragon was not a lie. Instead, Yang Chen really did have the strength to do so.
Ao Lan had just finished sighing when she suddenly thought of a possibility. She goggled and asked, "You were born an executioner?"
"Yes!" Yang Chen nodded with a smile. Based on Ao Lan's reaction, she must have guessed something.
"In that case, when you were in the mortal world, did you encounter any scarlet clouds in the sky?" Ao Lan asked anxiously as she stared at Yang Chen.
"Yes!" Yang Chen was still smiling as he replied with certainty, "Not only that, I also had a very long dream!"
"Si!" This time, Ao Lan sucked in a breath of cold air. Although she did not see the Merit Ring, it was enough for her to know Yang Chen's true background. Naturally, the treasures that Yang Chen obtained had a source. They must have been given to Yang Chen by a Dragon King level senior in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, even she, a true descendant of the Dragon Race, would not have been so coincidentally found by Yang Chen.
After that, Ao Lan immediately saw the Merit Ring on Yang Chen's hand. Yang Chen had purposely shown it to her. Since she already guessed Yang Chen's background, there was no need for Yang Chen to hide anything.
Speaking of which, Ao Lan was probably the only one who could guess Yang Chen's background based on the fact that he was an executioner. Even the upper echelon of the Profound Heaven Gate only dared to be sure after seeing the Merit Ring. They were clearly not as knowledgeable as Ao Lan.
That's not right. There should be one more person. He did not even know if Yang Chen was an executioner before he was certain that Yang Chen came from the Immortal Killing Platform. That person was Big Brother Li Cheng. Back then, he was nearly certain of this when they met. He just did not say it out loud. Later, when Yang Chen asked him about refining the entrance to the Immortal Killing Platform, he did not appear surprised. Clearly, he already knew about it.
After hearing Yang Chen's confirmation, Ao Lan also turned silent. It seemed like she did not know what to say. Ao Lan also had to carefully digest the contents before she could decide what to say.
The girls also found it strange that Ao Lan asked Yang Chen this question. They had all experienced the scarlet dusk in the mortal world before. However, they did not know what happened during that period of time. Based on the looks of it, it seemed like her husband had a fortuitous encounter at that time. Everyone became curious.
After thinking for a while, Ao Lan was about to speak when she suddenly saw many pairs of eyes staring at her. They were Yang Chen's wives, maids, and the others. This time, Ao Lan was unable to say what she wanted to say. She clearly paused and sucked in a deep breath.
All the girls were intelligent people. How could they not tell that Ao Lan had something to say that she did not want everyone to know? Immediately, they all tactfully left, leaving the space for Yang Chen and Ao Lan. Ao Lie originally wanted to stay and listen to what Ao Lan had to say. However, Gao Yue dragged her away. This angered Ao Lie so much that he muttered, "What is it that you cannot let others know?"
After a long time, Ao Lan raised her head and asked somewhat nervously, "Who is the senior who gave you the treasure trove?" Even Ao Lan herself didn't know why she felt nervous when facing Yang Chen. To be honest, this kind of emotion had not appeared in Ao Lan for a long time. It had been so long that Ao Lan couldn't remember the last time she felt nervous.
Actually, Ao Lan had already asked this very tactfully. As long as one was not an executioner, one could only be left with one identity — a prisoner awaiting execution. By asking like this, Ao Lan was probably giving Yang Chen some face and not letting Yang Chen feel enmity. After all, directly asking who you killed could easily lead others astray.
"Ao Guang!" Only Yang Chen and Ao Lan were present. Yang Chen did not hide anything, directly revealing the Eastern Sea Dragon King's name. Some secrets were kept in his heart. Yang Chen also felt uncomfortable. Now, he could finally reveal some to someone who understood. Even if it was just an insignificant portion, it was sufficient for Yang Chen to release some of his pent-up frustrations.
"Hu!" When Ao Lan heard this well-known name of the Dragon Race, she heaved a sigh of relief. She revealed an indescribable expression and finally said indifferently, "I just knew it was him."
"Big Sister knows the Dragon King?" Yang Chen asked out of curiosity. Even though Xiao Chen killed the Eastern Sea Dragon King, he did not have any grudges with the Dragon King. Ao Lan probably understood this and would not vent her anger on him for killing the Dragon King. Looking at Ao Lan, she seemed to be related to Ao Guang. Ao Lan was also a member of the royal clan. She should be a descendant of Ao Guang.
"He is my ancestor," Ao Lan explained to Yang Chen after a while. This was within Yang Chen's expectations. After explaining their relationship, Ao Lan continued, "Only he would know where these things are. Only he would be captured by those cultivators. After so many years, he did not improve at all. He still only knows how to refine treasures and not how to fight. He serves him right!"
