"Long time no see." Wuming, or rather Jiang Wenji, quietly looked at Jiang Wen, her golden eyes revealing no emotion, as if meeting an old friend, exchanging a few casual words.
Jiang Wen was stunned by these words, his expression changing before becoming relieved: "Yes, it has been a long time."
"I knew it, I knew someone like you wouldn't die so easily." Jiang Wenji's lips curved into a smile, reaching out to touch Jiang Wen's face. But halfway there, she seemed to remember something, silently lowering her hand.
"What a pity," Jiang Wenji chuckled. "I didn't expect us to meet in this situation."
"I also didn't expect Wuming to be you, although I had suspected it before, but I found that she didn't look like you," Jiang Wen had countless doubts in his heart, about the Yuyun clan, about the machine people, about betrayal, about Boundless Pavilion…
He had too many things to ask Jiang Wenji, those doubts were pressing down on his heart, lingering for a long time.
"I know you have many questions, but now is not the time to discuss these things. Let's first imprison this extremely evil monster."
As Jiang Wenji spoke, she gently raised her hand. Her arm suddenly broke off, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the black giant. Then, that section of the arm appeared crystal clear, and endless brilliance enveloped the black giant.
"Jiang Wenji! You dare to plot against me! Jiang Wenji! This尊 curses you to never die a good death for all eternity! Curses you to suffer the pain of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs even if your soul is scattered! Curses you to never rest in peace for all your lives!"
The black giant gradually shrank, eventually turning into a mass of black mud gathered between the arm.
Seeing the团 blood mist gradually shrinking, Jiang Wenji's expression relaxed a lot. Just when both of them thought everything was fine, a person emerged from the blood mist. White hair and red eyes, it was 'Xue Changming' whose body had been seized by the 賞罰 Heavenly Emperor.
"Haha, Jiang Wenji, you still miscalculated one step in the end. This尊 still escaped your imprisonment." 'Xue Changming' laughed incessantly, his eyes revealing ferocity. He looked at Jiang Wen, sizing him up viciously.
"This尊 already knows your name. This debt will be settled with you sooner or later. Jiang Wen, the master of 静虚観, good, good! When This尊 restores his cultivation and magic power, he will go to your 静虚観. This尊 will definitely destroy your 静虚観 and devour your 静虚観 disciples! This尊 will let you understand the consequences of angering This尊!"
'Xue Changming' made a ruthless remark and disappeared into the air before the two could react. Turning into a bloody stream of light, he vanished into this Sumeru world in an instant.
Jiang Wenji's face changed, and she spat out blood. Her expression was bitter, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes: "I didn't expect this step, it's all fate in the end."
"Are you okay?" Jiang Wen quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Wenji, running his magic power to try to heal her injuries. But the moment his fingers touched Jiang Wenji, her body scattered like dust.
"This, what's going on!" Jiang Wen asked in surprise.
"This is the punishment." Jiang Wenji took two steps back, away from the handsome man in front of her. Her eyes showed a bit of reluctance, then she sighed softly. "I have been dead for a long time."
"What exactly is going on? And why was the 賞罰 Heavenly Emperor imprisoned by you? I heard that Xiu Qi betrayed you, what's that about?" Jiang Wen felt anxious, only feeling a surge of anger rising. He didn't dare to touch Jiang Wenji again, afraid that she would turn into dust and dissipate in the next moment.
When she was Wuming, he could still touch her. Why at this time could he only stand aside helplessly and watch.
"I have things, True Dragon Blood, Spirit Vein Spring Water. Is there any way to save you?" Jiang Wen calmed his emotions and looked at Jiang Wenji seriously and asked.
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Wenji shook her head gently. She stretched out her arm that had turned to ashes, which was empty and without anything.
"There is no way, I have already died for hundreds of thousands of years. Even you cannot save me. This is my destiny, and it is also my tribulation." Jiang Wenji said softly. "Actually, Xiu Qi did not betray me, it was all a play we put on for this evil thing to see. Only if he truly betrayed me could this evil thing enter the circle."
"It was I who made him bear the infamy, these were the responsibilities that I, the city lord and heavenly king, should have shouldered." Jiang Wenji showed a helpless bitterness, slowly telling Jiang Wen the story.
After Jiang Wen passed away, Jiang Wenji thought of many ways to revive Jiang Wen. She buried Jiang Wen's body in the Emperor's Mausoleum, using the Yin and Yang energies of the old and new lands to nourish Jiang Wen's remains.
But these methods were of no avail, but Jiang Wenji seemed to be possessed and would not listen to anyone's persuasion.
In the end, she found an ancient secret technique. This ancient secret technique recorded a way to revive the dead from the Nine Netherworlds.
You only need to become an emperor above ten thousand people, and then use the sacrifices of millions of lives from alien races, coupled with the Qi of human destiny, to revive the dead. Even a deceased person who has died for countless years.
Jiang Wenji believed this secret technique, she began to fight wars and slaughter alien races in all directions, gradually expanding her power. Then she annexed the forces of various tribes, and even the people of Nanqi were not spared.
Until finally ascending to the position of Emperor, controlling the Taicang Dynasty, and becoming the supreme emperor.
"I did these things, and I thought I could see you again. But unfortunately, I was terribly wrong…" Jiang Wenji's voice lowered, it was hard to imagine what her mood was at that time.
Jiang Wen stood in front of her, he didn't know what kind of emotions he should have. His heart was like a mixture of all kinds of things, and he could taste everything.
"That sacrifice failed to revive you, but instead awakened an extremely Yin and extremely evil thing. He claimed to be the 賞罰 Heavenly Emperor, a supreme Heavenly Venerate God. As long as I fulfill His requirements, He will definitely bring you back."
"I lightly believed His lies and integrated His bloodline into the bloodline of the Taicang royal family. What's more, they rampaged and expanded in all directions in the wilderness. Just as you once said, I exhausted my troops and enslaved millions of tribes to fight. In a hundred years, countless tribal warriors died because of my decree. But I felt that this was a price that should be paid, I just wanted to revive you."
As Jiang Wenji spoke, bright red blood tears flowed from her eyes. She looked at Jiang Wen, half crying, half laughing, half sad, half happy. In the end, all the emotions merged together, leaving only her sigh.
"Xiu Qi found me, he said that everything in Taicang should not be like this. If you were here, you would definitely not want to see the people of Taicang living in misery. When I was awakened by his words, Taicang was in chaos everywhere. When I walked among the various tribes, when I saw the skinny old man in Tianyuan City, I realized the absurdity of what I had done."
"But, everything is beyond redemption. That extremely evil thing we sacrificed has been fed into an extreme existence with flesh and blood. Even if the hundreds of families of the Immortal Sect gathered together, that battle was also a heavy casualty. In desperation, Xiu Qi and I pretended to betray, and asked the 賞罰 Heavenly Emperor to seize my body, and then use my body to seal Him."
"I asked the people of Taicang to cut off my body and bury them in all directions. So that they can never gather together. Only in this way can we prevent this demon from resurrecting and prevent Him from harming the world again."
