Chapter 1665: The "Devil's" Visit

The "Devil's" Visit

At this moment, all the clues connected in Chen Ling's mind. Looking at Jiang Xiaohua, who calmly said that sentence, he was completely stunned in place...

He never imagined that the always silent Jiang Xiaohua with an extremely low presence was actually someone who had crossed two worlds together with the Fifth Generation Red King and the Grey King.

"Then you... why have you never mentioned it before?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.

"...Mention what?" Jiang Xiaohua was somewhat bewildered.

"That you came from the previous world, and that the Fourth Generation Red King was your friend."

Jiang Xiaohua scratched his head, seemingly unable to understand Chen Ling's meaning. He didn't understand what there was to mention about this... Moreover, no one had asked him these things, right?

If no one asked, why should he mention it?

Chen Ling could see that Jiang Xiaohua fundamentally didn't think it was necessary to say this, and sighed inwardly... This guy's brain circuit was indeed somewhat different from normal people.

"We are good friends." Jiang Xiaohua thought about it and added, "Just like us now."

"No wonder when we were in the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, even though it was clearly our first time meeting, you trusted me so much... and always followed us."

At that time, Chen Ling actually had some doubts. After all, Jiang Xiaohua's appearance was really somewhat strange. Furthermore, they only chatted briefly, and after saying "we are considered companions now," Jiang Xiaohua obediently followed them... Chen Ling even secretly guarded against him for a long time. But after they became familiar, he found out that Jiang Xiaohua just had this kind of baffling personality, so he didn't think deeper about it.

But looking at it now, it was estimated that Jiang Xiaohua trusting him so easily also had other factors...

After all, he and the Fourth Generation Red King looked exactly the same.

"So the Curse on you..."

"I took the initiative to share it for him." Jiang Xiaohua lowered his head and looked at the Curse mark on his body. "There were several Curses like this on his body... He was in too much pain, I wanted to help him."

Chen Ling subconsciously furrowed his brow:

"He, had several?"

The Fourth Generation Red King, who was Yao, possessed the power of Nuo Exorcism... Chen Ling himself also had this ability. Although he certainly wasn't as proficient as Yao, he knew very well that the stronger this power was exerted, the greater the price paid.

Whether it was the [I will forever feel the pain, I will forever remember the sorrow, I will never forget] on Jiang Xiaohua's body, or the [I will forever be imprisoned within myself, I will forever be accompanied by despair, I will forever remember the loneliness] on Chen Ling's own body, both had brought them immense pain...

And on the Fourth Generation Red King alone, there were actually several Curses like this existing at the same time...

How did he persevere?

And Jiang Xiaohua even took the initiative to share one for him... Chen Ling could imagine that if the Curses on the Fourth Generation Red King stacked to a terrifying degree, then [I will forever feel the pain, I will forever remember the sorrow, I will never forget] was absolutely the Curse that doubled all pain.

Perhaps it was exactly because Jiang Xiaohua shared one for him that the Fourth Generation Red King could continue to persevere, cultivate the Fifth Generation Red King, and give the world a chance to continue... In a certain sense, Jiang Xiaohua's kindness had invisibly saved humanity once.

"Then how did you come to this world?" Chen Ling asked again.

"He said that his younger brother would take good care of me, and told me to trust his younger brother... Then, he stepped onto that meteor and disappeared." Jiang Xiaohua paused for a moment. "Later, I just kept hiding in a place, never coming out... until his younger brother appeared and told me it was time to go to the next world."

"Then... I came."

"So, from the first time the Red Star crossed over until now, you've lived in this world for over three hundred years?" Chen Ling looked at Jiang Xiaohua, seemingly already imagining how this guy found a cave to bury himself in and remained motionless for hundreds of years. "During this time, you didn't do anything?"

"...Not exactly." Jiang Xiaohua's eyelids drooped. "A few years ago, I went to kill someone..."

"Was it an enemy?"

"En... In the previous world, he was the one who turned me like this."

Chen Ling looked at the white-haired "weirdo" in front of him, who had no internal organs, no heartbeat, and was wrapped in bandages all over, and nodded slightly. "He deserved to be killed."

While speaking, the silhouette of the city was already getting closer and closer to everyone.

Chen Ling didn't let Wu Yi continue forward. After all, its target was too big. Chen Ling led the crowd to jump back to the ground and walked straight in the direction of the Tianshu Domain.

...

"Lord of the Red Dust."

"This is the death toll statistics within the Domain this week... please review."

Lü Liangren hesitated for a long time, but still handed over the document in his hand.

Behind the desk, a figure with eyes full of weariness slowly raised her hand and took the document.

The Lord of the Red Dust's gaze swept over the document, and when she finally saw the string of numbers at the bottom, her pupils slightly shrank... Then she put the document back on the desk and closed her eyes silently.

It was unknown how long passed before she spoke again:

"I know."

"The Spirit Void Domain side, hasn't sent any more messages to us." Lü Liangren paused for a moment. "I heard that they have completely closed the Domain now..."

"Wu Tongyuan is very smart. He knows what I'm thinking."

The Lord of the Red Dust's eyes opened slightly, a hint of determination flashing in their depths. "Although we have known each other for too long and have fought side by side, I... am not Qi Muyun."

The Lord of the Red Dust stood up and walked to the window.

The Tianshu Domain outside the window basically still maintained its post-war dilapidated state. After so long, the repair work had barely advanced. Now that winter had arrived, the bleak cold wind brushing past the Domain added a bit more lifelessness.

No one knew what the Lord of the Red Dust was thinking right now. Even Lü Liangren, who had followed her all the way from the Red Dust Domain, saw this kind of complexity and sorrow in the Lord of the Red Dust's eyes for the first time...

He opened his mouth to say something when suddenly, a figure hurriedly pushed the door and entered.

"Lord of the Red Dust!"

"Out... outside there is someone claiming to be Chen Ling, wanting to see you."

Hearing the two words "Chen Ling", astonishment surfaced on Lü Liangren's face... While the expression of the person delivering the message was terrified.

The matter of Chen Ling assassinating two Nine Monarchs and slaughtering the Hidden Clouds Domain had long since spread throughout the Tianshu Domain. This legendary figure who was faintly somewhat whitewashed not long ago, once again became the nightmare of all Domain residents!

This devil just finished slaughtering the Hidden Clouds Domain, and he came to Tianshu? And came so openly and aboveboard?

What did he want to do???

Unlike Lü Liangren's astonishment and the messenger's terror, when the Lord of the Red Dust heard Chen Ling had come, a faint smile actually curled up at the corners of her mouth...

"Please bring him in..."

"No... tell him, let's meet at the old place tonight."
