Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1821 Water Dragon's Chant 24

Jiang Xinxin had a bad feeling, so she said to the others, "I'm going to Baojing Mountain to find someone to take a look. Don't alert them, and keep a close eye on that divine doctor."

Chi Yun was too straightforward. When Jiang Xinxin specifically told him to keep an eye on the divine doctor, he wanted to ask a few questions, but Shen Langhun grabbed him and said, "Please entrust Tang Fox to Your Highness. Don't worry, we will definitely guard the gate well."

After Jiang Xinxin left, Chi Yun was still aggrieved and questioned Shen Langhun: "What do you think our Princess Langya really means? The divine physician was someone Tang Fox herself had been searching for for a long time who could save her life, so how could she so easily doubt him?"

Shen Langhun was speechless. "Even if people in the martial world are quick to settle scores, you are a citizen of Dayong and stand on the territory of Dayong. How dare you shout at Her Highness the Princess, who has been appointed by the Dayong court? Is it because Her Highness has always been too kind and approachable that it has fostered your arrogance?"

"Moreover, Tang Fox probably trusts Her Highness the Princess more than someone like you who is brainless and only knows how to charge forward."

Shen Langhun genuinely felt that Chi Yun had become a bit arrogant lately. Although people in the martial arts world had never taken the imperial court seriously, this was not a sign of contempt, but rather a clear-cut yet concealed kind of sour grapes!

Anyone who has spent a couple of years in the underworld knows the benefits of becoming an official in the imperial court and wielding a certain amount of power. Of course, even among the officials in the imperial court, there are certainly those who regard power and money as dirt, but most are those who are eager to rise to prominence and bring glory to their ancestors.

Only a clueless fool like Chi Yun would truly believe that all martial arts practitioners naturally look down on court officials.

As a companion, Shen Langhun naturally wanted to give Chi Yun a serious talking-to: "You kid, you're not smart enough yourself, do you still doubt Tang Fox's decision? Isn't his respect for the princess obvious enough? He directly released the Wanqiaozhai and let the princess demolish it, just to give the princess enough convenience in rebuilding Sword King City."

Although he wasn't verbally abused by Shen Langhun, he felt uneasy under Shen Langhun's casual glances. He admitted that he had indeed become a little arrogant, but he repeatedly emphasized, "I didn't mean to look down on the princess at all. I just habitually ignore the princess's identity and only see her as the master of the Three Poisons."

Shen Langhun remained noncommittal, but then he remembered Jiang Xinxin's important matter of keeping an eye on the divine doctor, and his heart sank.

Jiang Xinxin used her lightness skill to head straight for Baojing Mountain, but she still couldn't get there fast enough. Tang Lizhi had already been lured to the bottom of the cliff of Baojing Mountain. She went downhill and simply destroyed several trapping formations, killing formations and illusion formations before finally finding the unconscious Tang Lizhi.

Tang Lizhi's condition is very bad. He has turned white overnight due to excessive loss of essence and blood. What is most critical is that after Fang Zhou's heart crystal sensed that his essence and blood supply was insufficient, it also began to slowly and actively absorb his essence and blood. In time, he will probably be drained of all his essence and blood by Fang Zhou's heart crystal and die.

The worst part is that Tang Lizhi seems to have fallen into some kind of illusion. If she can't wake up in time, she might die from exhaustion.

Jiang Xinxin cursed under her breath, took out an array plate and set up a protective barrier, then cast a spell to connect with Tang Licheng's Purple Mansion and finally found the illusion he was in.

It turns out that this illusion is directly related to a yin-yang symbol.

Like Tang Lizhi, Yi Que Yin Yang was originally a Celestial Being from the Celestial Realm. However, he was unlucky and ended up in the Gu Mo Kingdom in the vast desert of the Western Regions after arriving in this land of China.

Yi Que Yin Yang's real name is Ye Mo. His appearance is very similar to that of people from the Central Plains, except that his clothing is slightly different. At first, the people of Gu Mo regarded him as a distinguished guest from the Central Plains. He received a warm welcome in Gu Mo and soon met the beautiful Princess Xi Ya of Gu Mo.

Compared to the people of the vast land of Shenzhou, Ye Mo, who had not yet abandoned his real name, was far too naive. In his long interactions with people, he inevitably revealed the fact that he possessed extraordinary power on several occasions, which led to a report by someone with ulterior motives to the King of Gu Mo.

It just so happened that Ye Mo was deeply in love with the beautiful Princess Xi Ya. The King of Gu Mo, citing a plague outbreak in the kingdom, hoped that Ye Mo could use his extraordinary abilities to help Gu Mo overcome the crisis. If Ye Mo cured the plague, he would have rendered a great service to Gu Mo, and marrying Princess Xi Ya would naturally be a logical and unquestionable decision.

Ye Mo felt that King Gu Mo was right. He actually used his magic power directly in the palace hall. King Gu Mo looked at the power on Ye Mo that could heal all injuries and diseases, and the greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed. He immediately summoned his guards to absorb the power with all their might, because he himself wanted such great power.

Ye Mo was simple-minded, but not stupid. Seeing that his power had been stolen and seeing the old king's greedy and ambitious face, he naturally realized that he had been deceived. So, in a fit of rage, he killed the old king.

The others, fearing that killing the old king wasn't enough and that he would retaliate against others, decided to kill Ye Mo. They used a highly poisonous substance to drug Ye Mo, then tied him to a pillar and burned him. This burning lasted for three days and three nights. Ye Mo's body was injured while simultaneously being repaired, causing him to suffer excruciating pain.

Thus, after Princess Xiya arrived late, Ye Mo completely transformed from the pure and benevolent celestial being Ye Mo into a Yin-Yang demon who slaughtered the Gu Mo Kingdom and caused great chaos in the Central Plains.

It is said that even the most hateful person has a pitiable side. Jiang Xinxin naturally felt sorry for Ye Mo, and even did not object to his decision to directly destroy the entire Gu Mo Kingdom; on the contrary, she agreed with it.

But she could not agree with him when he transferred his hatred to the people of the Central Plains and the Great Yong.

Even if it is human nature to take one's anger out on others, Yi Que deserves to die and is unforgivable.

The most urgent task right now is to pull Tang Lizhi out of Ye Mo's tragedy as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Tang Lizhi experiences Ye Mo's tragedy a few more times in the illusion, he may really be beyond saving.

Just as Tang Lizhi was about to meet Princess Xiya again, possessing Ye Mo's body, Jiang Xinxin called out Tang Lizhi's name directly, "Tang Lizhi, the one who fell in love with Princess Xiya and met with misfortune was Ye Mo, not you, Tang Lizhi!"

"Tang Lizhi, you need to wake up quickly and come back with me!"

Tang Lizhi had a moment of clarity, but Ye Mo's resentment and the illusion were very strong. Tang Lizhi was powerless to break free for a while and was soon swept up in the "plot" again. Jiang Xinxin stood in the main hall of the Gu Mo Kingdom's palace and tried to wake Tang Lizhi up again: "Tang Lizhi! You are not Ye Mo, you are Tang Lizhi, you cannot forget your name!"

"Tang Lizhi! It's me, Jiang Xinxin. I've come to find you!"

This time, Tang Lizhi was awake for a little longer, and he could even sense Jiang Xinxin's location.
