Chapter 154: The Sad Truth

Chapter 154: The Sad Truth

Old Man Bai Li just gave him a cold look and showed no response.

In fact, what Gui Buddha said was wrong. Unless it was a last resort, he would not take the initiative to destroy the heart.

Suddenly, the old man turned his head sharply towards the north outside the city of Jinyang, his brows furrowed.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Though separated by a great distance, a figure was indeed rapidly approaching.

All those engaged in battle within the city came to a simultaneous halt.

A terrifying aura drew nearer.

In the Lord’s mansion, Zhen Tianyi seemed to comprehend something, abruptly slashing at Qian Gui. He then looked up, his face filled with shock.

He had a complex expression as he spoke, “I didn’t expect you to come too.”

As he spoke, the right side of his exposed body, where the wound should have long healed and scarred, unexpectedly oozed fresh blood, causing a faint ache!

Bang!

The newcomer halted in the airspace outside Jinyang City. Due to the excessive speed, the abrupt stop seemed to disperse the air.

Bai Chong muttered to himself, “Finally, you’ve come.”

Qin Feng and the others, upon hearing this, looked towards the approaching figure.

Dressed like the man who spoke, in a black-and-white robe with a ghost mask on his head, his gray-white hair flowed behind him.

If there was any difference, it was the blood-red blade hanging by his waist and the conspicuous number three on the chest of the robe.

Though Qin Feng didn’t know the specific significance of the number on the chest, he vaguely guessed that it was related to strength.

The insect master controlling the centipedes not far away had extraordinary strength, but the number on his chest was only nine.

So, what astonishing and terrifying strength did the man with the number three possess?

The gray-haired man’s aura surged, sweeping across Jinyang City.

Seeing this, Old Li hastily used the puppetry technique, creating flowing shadow walls around Qin Feng and the others.

As the aura passed, the already injured Old Li let out a muffled groan.

And on those flowing shadow walls, cracks appeared, and within a few breaths, they shattered!

Qin Feng and the others’ faces became extremely solemn.

The emitted aura alone had such power!

If Senior Li hadn’t intervened in advance to protect them, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

The gray-haired man retracted his aura, feeling something, and casually said, “It seems I’ve encountered some familiar faces.”

“Ghost Buddha, have you found what you were looking for?”

Ghost Buddha’s expression was grim, “I couldn’t find the aura of the seal in the city.”

“No sealed aura,” the gray-haired man pondered for a moment, then suddenly locked his gaze onto Old Li.

“After the battle at Zhenling Pass nineteen years ago, you actually didn’t die?

There’s something interesting about your body.

You’ve actually dispersed your martial cultivation and turned to the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. Is it to honor your deceased comrades?

In prosperity and comfort, they sing praises of their own merits with heaps of dry bones.

Li Yang, don’t you resent it at all?”

“I give you a choice. I won’t take away the heart of the King of Garuda, leaving it in your body, holding your life.

Join me in overthrowing Heavenly City, and annihilate those delusional people.”

Ghost Buddha exclaimed, “Sword Ghost, don’t act recklessly! Don’t ruin the plan!”

The silver-haired man known as Sword Ghost responded coldly, “I’ll handle things; it’s not your place to dictate.”

Ghost Buddha fell silent.

The rest, including Bai Chong and others, also fell into silence.

Liu Jianli glanced at the Sword Ghost in the sky, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Your answer?” Sword Ghost asked.

Old Li smiled. He looked around at his former colleagues, and the spirits of the soldiers seemed to sense something, all looking at him together.

“My answer was given to my brothers nineteen years ago.”

Swish!

Uniform stomping sounds echoed in an instant, as if time had returned to the moment when the Zhenling Army set out nineteen years ago.

Soldiers, for the sake of protecting their homeland, had no fear even in death!

As fellow soldiers in the army, Black Charcoal Head, seeing this scene, unconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red.

Qin Feng and others were deeply moved as well.

Upon hearing this, Sword Ghost’s chest slightly rose and fell.

In fact, this answer was already within his expectations.

“I have lived for a long time, and in my life, there are only two and a half people I admire. Li Yang, you are one of them.

Today, I have come to help you find liberation.”

As his words fell, the blood-colored suspended sword trembled slightly.

A bloodline seemed to cross through time and space, arriving in front of Senior Li before the crowd could react.

Everyone was shocked.

This strike was unavoidable!

But at this moment, a figure in a black robe appeared out of thin air beside Senior Li, wearing a white faceless mask.

He extended his right hand and gently grabbed it.

The formidable blade energy of the blood blade was crushed.

Bang!

The bursting aura surged, but it couldn’t exceed the range of the faceless person by a foot.

It seemed to be isolated by some powerful force.

“You finally decide to show up.” Sword Ghost said indifferently.
