Chapter 281 Exile
Three sword energies quickly flashed through the air, and the four of them were getting closer and closer to the direction indicated by the Yuheng Star. However, the Nine Netherworld was eerily quiet, and not a single person was seen.
Thinking of what Lin Fan had said before about Wen Bumian refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Jiuyou, Jiang Tingwan felt a little uneasy, wondering if he had already mastered it.
"Be careful." Sui Jiu and Mu Yunzhong said almost at the same time.
Mu Yun finally glanced at Sui Jiu and didn't continue talking. Judging from this place, this mysterious little fox was definitely more reliable than himself.
Sui Jiu continued, "Such a strong evil spirit."
Jiang Tingwan asked, "Is it the Netherworld?"
Sui Jiu carefully identified it and shook his head, "No, it's not that powerful."
Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan frowned. Evil spirit, Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Netherworld, these keywords combined together become a name - Wen Bumian.
"No matter what, we have to get there first."
At this point, there is no way I can stop.
The quieter it is, it is like the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, as they got closer to the Yuheng star, the evil spirit became so strong that both Jiang Tingwan and Meng Ziyuan could feel it.
A blood-red banner was raised in the Nine Netherworld, which was already in a long night, and a series of skull bells made bewitching and piercing sounds in the dark night.
On the top of the mountain, the cold moonlight made the patterns on the banners look like twisting living creatures, crawling and circling constantly.
Sitting on the flag was a man in a dark red wide robe, and his clothes matched the pattern on the flag. When Jiang Tingwan and the other three arrived at the field pointed by the Yuheng Star, this scene came into their eyes.
"He also refined himself into a part of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner." Sui Jiu's face changed drastically. She had never thought that Wen Bumian had such an understanding.
Jiang Tingwan was horrified when he saw Wen Bumian who had been waiting for a long time on the opposite side.
But the person opposite was smiling sinisterly, his eyes glanced at the four people who came in tired and dusty, and his gaze fell on Jiang Tingwan and Sui Jiu beside her.
"I finally found you."
Jiang Tingwan saw Wen Bumian's appearance, temperament and strength changed drastically. At this moment, his original uneasiness and fear turned into waiting after a desperate fight.
Her heart actually settled down.
"Congratulations, you've become stronger."
This is a fact that can be seen with the naked eye, but Wen Bumian was not happy, and Jiang Tingwan also noticed it.
He became like those people who were looking for fun in The Beauty of the Country, lonely, isolated and empty.
She took two steps forward unconsciously. She understood that the stronger Wen Bumian's emotions were, the closer he would be to the existence of the Realm Master.
So, she looked at him provocatively and asked, "Did you find the answer you wanted?"
He raised his blood-red eyebrows slightly and looked at the people below with a kind of contempt, but he did not dare to answer Jiang Tingwan's question.
He didn't answer, but Jiang Tingwan dared to answer: "I guess you found it, and there is only one step left, but you are afraid."
Wen Bumian raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously, but without the slightest intention to kill.
But he still said those dry words, "Aren't you afraid of death after seeing me? The only people here who are not immortal are you."
Jiang Tingwan also laughed. "Strong on the outside but weak on the inside" was the most appropriate way to describe Wen Bumian at this moment.
After realizing this, she let go of her long-standing vigilance and hostility, and felt relaxed. She smiled faintly, looked at him steadily, and spoke with a somewhat dazed tone.
"Wen Bumian, in fact, we have never been rivals. You entered my story, but you are not the real villain in this story. Our only conflict is that we have different ideals and cannot work together."
"Even if you kill us, what will you gain?"
Jiang Tingwan’s words are always like this, every word is heart-wrenching.
Yes, what can he gain?
"You are so smart. You have gone through several lives. You know and think more than many people. After coming here, you must understand what this place is before us. The more you doubt the world you exist in, the more you pursue the so-called truth, the more you no longer belong to any place."
"People who have nowhere to go can only open up a new place, establish the rules they want, and become the rules themselves, which will eventually be endless. This is a punishment, but also the result of their own choice. You can even say it is exile."
After surviving these few days, Jiang Tingwan finally understood the deep meaning of Sui Jiu's words: "It is a punishment, but also the result of an active choice."
For Yu Lingyu and Youming, it was a punishment, but for Yu Wen, staying awake was his choice step by step.
"Those who abandon the world will also be exiled by the world."
Jiang Tingwan's voice was filled with compassion and sorrow.
"You were wrong about one thing. You are not special. You are not the only one who is aware of your own existence and awakens powerful powers. But you were also right about one thing. That is, you are alone on this road, because you already think that you are special to the point of being unique. It is you who chose the unique loneliness."
“Hehehe…” The people under the flags laughed, a painful and happy laugh.
"Jiang Tingwan, Jiang Tingwan, sometimes I really doubt whether I have ever been a character in your works. Otherwise, why can you always poke my mind with just one or two words..."
The dark red flag was shaking violently, and the runes on it were flowing faster as he smiled. His every move, every anger and joy were connected to this flag.
"But there is one thing you missed." His smile shrank instantly, and his voice became sinister. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was actually repeating what he said, "My determination to pursue the truth will not be shaken by any outcome."
My determination to pursue the truth will not be shaken by any outcome."
My determination to pursue the truth will not be shaken by any outcome."
Jiang Tingwan's relaxed expression suddenly froze, not because he was uneasy about his words, but because of an expected sadness.
"This is not the final destination. I want to see what will happen if I leave here without becoming the world master."
He insisted on making his own choice, and once he made his choice he would never stop.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which was moving without wind, stopped, and the runes on it returned to their original speed, flowing slowly.
A regretful voice was heard in the dark night sky.
"Why don't you fight me after all this time? You're making my blood boil."
Lin Fan and Youming appeared in the air, walking in the air.
Seeing Jiang Tingwan and the others, Lin Fan greeted them warmly, "Nice to meet you again. I'm disappointed that you all left the city but didn't come to my Lingxiao Palace."
Youming had a gloomy face without any expression.
Are these two people just watching the show here?
She could imagine that Youming would appear here, but Lin Fan...
"Lin Fan, the Realm Master, is here not just to watch people fight, right?"
Lin Fan smiled without changing his expression, "Of course I am protecting you. You are Brother Youming's only hope. If he can't defeat this lunatic who can become a world master in the shortest time but can't become one, I can still lend a hand, right?"
His smile was mixed with a kind of disguise. Although his eyes were bent with laughter, people still couldn't see his true thoughts.
"By the way, since we don't want to fight anymore, what's the next step?" Lin Fan looked at the four people opposite him. The connection with the outside world depends on them, and how to connect is also up to them.
The Yuheng star flickered faintly in the dark night, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
Jiang Tingwan looked at the red thread faintly entwined on Mu Yunzhong's chest, raised his head and looked at the red star in the sky, "Next, it's about contact with the outside world."
The Wuchenzhu summoned the Yuhengxing, which was half completed.
The other half was waiting for Mu Qingge to use the power of the stars to awaken the last star of Xuanji Constellation. That was a unique call from the outside world to Mu Yunzhong...
