Chapter 259 White, Gray, and Black
City Lord Zhao had never seen Zhao Yue like this. In his impression, this young man who had no father or mother and whose surname was given by him, had always been tenacious. No matter how hard or tiring it was, even if it cost him his life, he would never bow his head or beg for anything.
Now, for a monster, he actually knelt down and begged him so humbly.
He closed his eyes tightly, his heart moved, and asked: "Why?
"Yuer, give me a reason."
Zhao Yue raised his head suddenly, then lowered it little by little. His lips were pursed into a straight line. He looked at the four people outside the cave in a trance. His vision gradually became dull, as if he had suddenly immersed himself in a terrible dream.
When the woman in the cloth dress saw him like this, she immediately walked to his side, half squatted down, raised her hand to touch the top of his head, and let the hem of her skirt drag on the ground and stain her clothes with dust.
"Don't force him." A pair of dark green pupils pierced through the boundary between shadow and light, falling directly on the four people outside the cave. "Let me tell you."
The story goes back to an ordinary summer day fifteen years ago.
A little monster just turned into a human form. He kept listening to his mother talking about interesting things outside the mountain and all kinds of people outside the mountain, so he also wanted to go out and take a look.
One day, the little monster's mother went out to find food for her child. The little monster got excited and secretly left his home. He climbed over many mountains and finally came to a beautiful and magnificent city.
But he had no spirit stones and could not enter the city. He could only squat on the side of the road like the little beggar curled up in the corner of the city wall outside the city, hoping that someone would give him some spirit stones and take him into the city to have a look.
Later, the little monster was finally able to enter the city. He made a friend with a little beggar. The little beggar had just begged for two medium-grade spirit stones, which were just enough for them to enter the bustling city and take a look.
Although they had no spirit stones and hadn't eaten all day, the little monster and his human friends had a lot of fun.
When the sun sets, the little monster is going home. The little beggar is reluctant to leave his new friend, so the little monster invites him to his home.
The two little guys crossed mountains and rivers, and unfortunately encountered a big monster that had gone astray. The big monster wanted to eat humans to replenish his overflowing soul energy, and told the little monster to get out of here.
The little beggar thought he was going to die here today, but in the end he did not die.
The one who died was the little monster.
The little monster exploded his inner elixir, seriously injuring the big monster and giving the little beggar a chance to escape.
The little beggar was scared and he ran away.
But he went back halfway, and risked his life to find the little monster's mother, begging her to save the little monster.
The little monster clan has a secret method to repair their bodies, but their inner elixir is shattered, their life span ends, and the little monster cannot wake up.
He is dead.
In order to bring the little monster back to life, the little monster's mother asked the little beggar for a favor and gave her a list of all children under ten years old in the city.
The little beggar agreed.
He always felt guilty about the little monster's death. He felt that if he had not wanted to visit the little monster's house, and if he had not had any ability to protect himself, the little monster would not have died to save him.
However, as children in the city disappeared one after another, the little beggar had to suspect the little monster's mother. Finally, he discovered the secret of the little monster's mother.
It turned out that the little monster's mother wanted to use a forbidden technique to weave the fragments of dozens of children's souls and lifespans into a complete soul and lifespan to pass on to her own child.
The little beggar tried to stop the extremely sad mother, but she knelt down and begged him crying, threatening to die, asking him to pretend that he knew nothing about this matter and that she would take care of everything and pay all the costs.
The little beggar's heart was white and kind, so a bitter gray guilt grew inside. These guilt weighed on his heart for years and finally turned into a dark evil.
In the end, he did not report the poor mother. He watched helplessly as she took away the children one by one, and saw the families who lost their children cry until they fainted.
He said he would go to hell.
But before hell came, a group of immortal masters in white clothes came first.
He was afraid that they would catch the little monster's mother and hurt her, so he could only secretly inform her and ask her to let go and run away quickly.
Then, he was exposed.
The woman finished speaking quietly, and the young man in her palm had red eyes and tears were falling.
On one side is his good friend who sacrificed his life for him, and on the other side is the citizens he swore to protect. His life seems to be torn in two. No matter which half it is, it can only sink into the abyss and can never touch the light in his heart again.
The faint sobbing sound blended into the wind, seemed very light, yet weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone present.
In the flickering light and shadow, Su Yanqing suddenly asked Jiang Liqian: "If you were him, what would you do?
"If you have to hurt another person for one person, will you still go on unwaveringly?"
Jiang Liqian didn't say anything.
Su Yanqing didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, the woman suddenly spoke. Her gaze passed over the sorrowful Zhao City Lord and fell on Jiang Liqian's face: "How did you find out that he was wrong? Originally, all of this could be blamed on me, and he could remain innocent forever..."
Yun Ruyi was afraid that this monster would suddenly hurt someone again, so she stood in front of Jiang Liqian vigilantly.
But Jiang Liqian didn't appreciate her kindness, and she didn't need anyone's protection.
With her long skirt fluttering, she walked out from behind her and went straight to the entrance of the cave, looking at the woman inside through the thin silk.
“On the day of setting up the water array, something strange happened, so I set up the illusion array in Shuiyue Tower.
"I deliberately mentioned that I could track down your Soul Guiding Formation, deliberately stated the three things needed in public, and deliberately emphasized that I needed your Heart Sacrifice Formation at the end. Sure enough, the mastermind behind the scenes made a move.
"The two children are heavily guarded, and the spirit stones are in the warehouse. The warehouse is a strategic location, and it's not easy for him to get his hands on it. Only Shuiyue Tower can burn it all down with one fire.
"He thought all my fellow disciples were out having fun, that the city lord was out of town, and that he had burned down Shuiyue Tower. In fact, these were all hallucinations. We just wanted to follow him and find you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liqian didn't even give the other party a chance to pause for a second. He suddenly attacked and slammed a palm with thunder spiritual power towards the fine silk net in front of him.
The highly corrosive wire mesh can erode the power of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy of thunder can restrain all kinds of evil spirits. The cave entrance was blasted open unexpectedly.
The two people in the cave didn't even have time to be shocked before Jiang Liqian's figure had already flashed into the cave.
But the cave, which should have been full of white cocoons, was empty and there was nothing.
Jiang Liqian's expression changed several times, as if she suddenly realized something. She turned around and looked in the direction of Shuiwan City.
