"Yes, I haven't seen you in thirty years."
Zhang Dongyun looked at the girl and finally spoke in the tone of the former Evil Emperor, Ming Tonghui.
"Twelfth Sister, how have you been?"
The moment she entered the city, Zhang Dongyun sensed something strange.
In the body of this young girl, who was only about ten years old, there was a shrewd soul hidden within.
Shen Herong, the Great Evil, was ranked twelfth among the Twelve Kings of Hell.
Although she was the youngest among the twelve sworn siblings, her current age was more than enough to be Ming Yixue's grandmother.
According to the memories of the former Evil Emperor, he trusted this twelfth sister very much and firmly believed that she did not betray him.
Through the Invincible City system, Zhang Dongyun could also confirm that she was not hostile.
However, he still remained cautious and did not trust her easily. Instead, he continued to talk to her.
After Shen Herong admitted her identity, she was very honest.
"As you can see, I'm fine. I'm afraid I can't be considered a sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you like this."
Zhang Dongyun looked down at her. "You've reincarnated twice?"
"Yes, once thirty years ago, and once ten years ago." Shen Herong nodded, but did not go into detail.
She looked up at Zhang Dongyun.
"I asked myself. I spent some effort to disguise myself, but unexpectedly, you still recognized me early on."
Indeed, you're better at acting than me … Zhang Dongyun thought.
She presented the image of a mature and intelligent girl, but in the end, she was still a child.
Frankly speaking, without the help of the system, Zhang Dongyun was not confident that he could see through her disguise.
However, he pretended to be calm. "Didn't you recognize me too?"
"I saw the demonic cultivator who cultivated the Blood Phoenix Transformation. The method he used to subdue the Heavenly Wolf Demonic Soul was indeed similar to yours."
Shen Herong shook her head. "However, I was not sure until you gave me a clear hint."
"…"
Hint?
Give you?
Me?
A certain City Lord surnamed Zhang was at a loss.
He nearly thought that Evil Emperor was intentionally using words to trick him. He quickly organized Evil Emperor's memories to search for clues.
Zhang Dongyun's appearance as Evil Emperor was a projection. He had a dumbfounded look on his face, but Shen Herong could not see it.
The former heroine with the appearance of a young girl continued:
"Big brother, you've already seen through everything before this little sister went up the mountain. This little sister is truly impressed."
Zhang Dongyun listened to her and carefully combed through Evil Emperor's memories. Finally, he found some clues from the vast amount of information.
He glanced around and saw a giant umbrella appear in the air of the palace.
It was the Yunluo cover seized from Fuzhen Guan. Previously, it was given to Chen Chaoyan to go down the mountain to help out.
Shen Herong looked at the giant umbrella and smiled. "In my memory, Little Sister has only mentioned it once. It's rare for Big Brother to remember."
"I remember a lot of things," Zhang Dongyun said casually.
In truth, he wanted to roll his eyes.
In Evil Emperor's memories, Shen Herong had always been quiet. She rarely showed her emotions, likes, and opinions in daily life.
She liked umbrellas.
He had only mentioned this matter to Evil Emperor by chance.
Hence, when she was surrounded at the foot of the mountain and saw Chen Chaoyan come to save her with a Yunluo cover that looked like a giant umbrella, she thought that it was a hint from Evil Emperor on the mountain.
Earlier, when Blood Shadow subdued Sirius' Demonic Soul, she had been watching by the side.
His methods were clearly similar to Evil Emperor's in the past.
With the two together, Shen Herong was certain that the person behind Blood Shadow and the others was her big brother in the past.
Besides, before she went up the mountain, her big brother had already seen through her disguise.
He asked Chen Chaoyan to bring an umbrella down to show his identity and remind her that Shen Herong's identity was no longer a secret.
"Big brother, as expected of you."
The girl smiled and nodded. There was admiration in her eyes. "Just now, when I came to this hall, I tried to struggle. It was really unwise. I've made a fool of myself in front of you."
'Big sister, all of this is a coincidence.'
Master Zhang smiled politely and awkwardly in his heart, but his expression was as calm as ever. "You're much more lively in this body."
Shen Herong smiled. "I'm ashamed."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Yang Li for reuniting us today," Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong nodded. "Yes, I went there because of the rumors about Sirius in the secret cave.
But unfortunately, that's just the place where Yang Li escaped. In fact … it might even be a trap.
He's like a hunting wolf, hiding in the dark and waiting for his prey to come to him. "
She looked up at Zhang Dongyun. "What's even more dangerous is that there might be more than one wolf.
After all, Yang Li wasn't the only traitor in The Immortals back then. "
"I used to trust Yang Li too," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
"Wasn't I the same?"
The little girl said softly, "But after the incident at the Immortals, I only trust you among the eleven of us."
She looked up and calmly met Zhang Dongyun's eyes.
"As for whether I'm innocent or not, time will tell you."
She wasn't a traitor back then … With the help of the System, Zhang Dongyun nodded secretly.
Of course, just because she wasn't a traitor back then didn't mean that she wasn't now.
Thirty years had passed, and people would change.
However, through the System, Zhang Dongyun could be sure that the other party didn't have any malicious intentions. Instead, she had good intentions.
On the surface, he didn't directly respond to Shen Herong's statement. His tone was indifferent.
"Let's wait and see."
Shen Herong nodded. "If you don't mind, I'll stay here and impose on you."
In this life, she was an orphan who was taken in by Fuzhen Guan. She could leave whenever she wanted and the whole family didn't have to worry about starving.
Zhang Dongyun asked casually, "What do you think of this city?"
"Big Brother's work can't be bad."
The girl looked around the hall. "But I remember that you don't like to worry about people and things?"
Zhang Dongyun smiled mysteriously. "Many things changed in The Immortals."
Slowly, Shen Herong nodded. "Big Brother, this city was built on the basis of the fragments of The Immortals, right?"
The other party had also come into contact with the fragments of The Immortals. In the past, he was powerful and knowledgeable. Zhang Dongyun wasn't surprised that he could see this.
The fragments of The Immortals and his Invincible City System were two different things.
"That's right." His tone was calm and collected.
However, the other party didn't have any fragments of The Immortals. Otherwise, he would have sensed it when he approached Chang 'an.
Shen Herong shook her head. "It's a pity that I once had a fragment of The Immortals, but I lost it later."
The truth …
Zhang Dongyun felt sorry for her.
He wondered if it had something to do with the other party's second reincarnation.
Although it was a pity that Shen Herong didn't have any fragments of The Immortals, which made Zhang Dongyun feel sorry, the other party stayed in Chang 'an, which gave him more subordinates.
"You need to re-cultivate now, but this body is suitable for Taoism."
Zhang Dongyun asked, "Do you want to switch to Taoism, or continue to walk the old path of Confucianism?"
Shen Herong, a child prodigy, was well-known in the Sacred Evolution Mansion. She was accepted as a disciple by the Sacred Evolution Mansion. Her talent was like a rainbow, and her momentum pierced through the sky.
She soon became famous all over the world and became a female teacher and guru respected by countless Confucian disciples.
But later, she broke out of the Sacred Evolution Mansion and was hunted down, which shocked the world.
Soon, the good name in the ears of all the scholars in the world became a bad name.
As Shen Herong's cultivation improved day by day, she became sworn brothers with the Evil Emperor and others as the Twelve Kings of Hell. After she broke into the Sacred Evolution Mansion, she had a new name in the mouth of the Confucian cultivators.
The Great Evil.
