The white bones lying on the jade platform are the body of Sima Yue's husband, Ling Zhaotong.
When people live in the world, they always have many identities inexplicably. For example, good people, bad people, husbands, wives, bosses, subordinates, monks, Taoist priests, etc. These identities are not innate to the body and may change at any time. And the change of identity often heralds the change of destiny. Sima Yue's fate began to change drastically from the moment her husband died.
Fifteen years ago, the king of Tiandu, Li Yilong, was at the peak of his power. At that time, the most favored marshal in the imperial court was his sworn brother Bai Ruochu, the "King of Thousand Machines". When Li Yilong became the king of Tiandu, Bai Ruochu's contribution must be the first. Moreover, the two of them have similar temperaments and are each other's confidants. In this way, the Bai family was the number one wealthy family in the Tiandu Dynasty at that time, and the only one that could compete with the four major families.
The Bai family is originally a southern government organization family, mainly dealing in weapons, shields, armor, hidden weapons and other equipment. Gangs and gangs fight and kill all day long, and there is a lot of demand for these things. Therefore, the Bai family can be regarded as a famous existence in the black and white circles of the south. The industry is also widely distributed, all over the country.
The head of the Bai family, Bai Ruochu, is good at strange formations and is even more proficient in the art of mechanisms. When he was young, he was known as the "Master of Thousands of Opportunities" in the world. Later, he accidentally met the prince Li Yilong who was living among the people. At that time, one of them was a son of a wealthy family with a prominent family background and outstanding talents. The other is a descendant of the royal family with extraordinary background and ambition.
The two hit it off and became each other's best friends. Later, Bai Ruochu tried his best to plan major events for Li Yilong. After more than twenty years of bloody events, Li Yilong finally returned to Dragon City and became the leader of the Tiandu Dynasty. After that, the power of the Bai family naturally increased, and it was at its peak.
When Li Yilong became the Queen of Tiandu, he gave all related major projects such as the building of the dynasty's army and armaments, the city affairs of the Thirty-six Cities, the expansion of the palace, and other related major projects to the Bai family. These were originally the responsibilities of the Sima Family Tianbing Division. In this way, the two families often have conflicts.
At that time, the head of the Sima family was Sima Li, Sima Yue's father. He is low-key, gentle and not good at arguing with others. In addition, the four major families were not of the same mind at that time, so the Sima family was oppressed by the major wealthy families both inside and outside the court.
Later, Bai Ruochu directly attacked the Sima family. He first framed the Sima family, saying that their family was secretly building armaments with the intention of rebelling. Then, with Li Yilong's permission, he ransacked Sima's house and put everyone in the Sima family in jail. In the prison, Bai Ruochu ordered others to deliberately torture Sima Li to death. Sima Yue's husband, Ling Zhaotong, was also beaten to moderate and serious injuries.
Sima Yue was just a woman at that time and did not understand the important affairs of the court. Fortunately, she was alert and saw that Sima's family was besieged by a large army, so she escaped from the house alone. Later, she knelt down and asked Li Daoyuan and the other three major families to rescue her. In this way, the Sima family found a way out.
After that, Sima Yue anxiously took her seriously injured and dying husband to the Poison King Valley to seek medical treatment. Unfortunately, she had only been in Poison King Valley for half a day before Poison King Baili Qiu could cure her husband. The five major poison sects in the world joined forces to force Poison King Gu to come.
The situation was critical at that time, and Baili Qiu asked her daughter Baili Lingling to hide in the crypt with Sima Yue and his wife. When the storm subsided and they walked out of the crypt, they found that the Poison King Valley had been slaughtered. Even the Poison King Baili Qiu died tragically. Without the poison king's treatment, Ling Zhaotong died of illness within half a day.
Just as Sima Yue and Baili Lingling were immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones, two more seriously injured people came to the Poison King Valley seeking medical treatment. These two people are both evil-hearted villains and extremely powerful in martial arts.
When the first villain came, he saw that the Poison King Valley was destroyed, so he wanted to kill Baili Lingling and Sima Yue to vent his anger. Baili Lingling pretended that he knew medical skills, but secretly poisoned the man to death.
But just as that man died, the second villain came again. But this villain was even more cunning. Every time he took the medicine given by Baili Lingling, he would order Sima Yue to taste it first. Sima Yue wanted to die and save Baili Lingling. Then he asked her to use a pair of Gu with the same fate as pills, and let them take them at the same time.
And this same-fate Gu was a poisonous insect raised by Poison King Baili Qiu himself. Once both parties eat it, their two lives will become one, and they cannot be separated by more than a hundred miles, otherwise they will surely die from the poison. The evil man knew he had been fooled and had no way to kill Sima Yue again.
And Sima Yue threatened to commit suicide to let Baili Lingling go. After that, the evil man had no choice but to follow and protect Sima Yue in order to survive. Eventually, he gradually became Sima Yue's most effective assistant. And this evil man is the silver-faced swordsman who is following Sima Yue now.
With the passage of time, Sima Yue gradually broke away from the grief of her deceased husband, but the hatred in her heart grew day by day. She hated the Tiandu Dynasty and hated the gang struggles all over the world. She vowed to use all means to take revenge on the world, and she wanted to become the person who stood at the top of the world.
Later, with the help of the silver-faced swordsman, Sima Yue successfully became the head of the Sima family. And began to show his extraordinary tactics and methods. While she was collecting treasures and beauties from all over the world to please Li Yilong, she was secretly uniting the four major families to deal with the Bai family.
Then, after two years of planning, Sima Yue, together with the four major families and several vassal kings who were also at odds with the Bai family, suddenly launched an attack and directly massacred the entire Bai family on charges of treason.
After all the Bai family were killed, Li Yilong got the news, and he was naturally frightened. But at that time, the alliance between the four major families and the kings had been formed, and he had no way to eradicate it. In addition, Sima Yue gave away all the huge wealth obtained by the Bai family to please him. Li Yilong stopped thinking about it and continued to indulge in his enjoyment.
As for Sima Yue, who had tasted power, her ambitions gradually expanded. Externally she win over the kings and the world's black and white, internally she constantly weakens the power of King Tiandu. Under her planning, the four major families gradually eliminated the power of King Tiandu. She also gradually grew into the Earth Dragon Emperor who was feared by everyone in Dragon City.
Since being elected as the head of the four major families, Sima Yue has not felt the taste of failure for a long time. But Luofan's sudden appearance broke everything. The long-lost stress and fear hit me again. This feeling of powerlessness made her feel filled with hatred and anger.
Kneeling in front of her husband's body, Sima Yue took out the dagger and plunged it into her chest ruthlessly. She wanted to use this pain to firmly remember the humiliation the Sima family had suffered. Only in this way could she deal with her enemies more cruelly.
While she was kneeling to inflict punishment on herself. The silver-faced swordsman in black cloak walked over quietly.
Seeing Sima Yue mutilating herself again, the silver-faced swordsman sneered: "What's wrong, did Luo Fan irritate you? It's not like that. Why should you take it to heart, little commoner?"
Sima Yue put away the dagger, said with angry eyes: "I was careless. This Luofan is indeed smarter than me, and his methods are better than mine. He must die!"
The silver-faced swordsman nodded and said: "I heard your conversation. You want Feng Laijiang to kill him, why don't you let me do it?"
Sima Yue said coldly: "Your assassination skills are indeed unrivaled in the world, but your ability to chase people is average. Luofan's greatest strengths are his intelligence and ability to run. If you fail to kill him, then you will have alerted the enemy. Moreover, through recent events, I found that I am also lacking the kind of top masters under Luofan. It is because of these masters that he can always turn defeat into victory. I plan to conquer a few top masters in the world, Feng Laijiang That’s my first goal.”
Hearing that Sima Yue was looking for another top master, the silver-faced swordsman felt that his position was threatened. He hummed in a displeased tone: "Humph! This Luofan has really opened your eyes. It seems that the people I trained for you can no longer satisfy you. However, a master who has reached Feng Laijiang's level has power, money and so on. , there is no attraction for him anymore. It is almost impossible to make him use you."
Sima Yue sighed arrogantly: "That Luo Fan has no power and power, but he can recruit so many experts. Could it be that I, Sima Yue, am worse than him? As long as you are a human being, you must have shortcomings, and you must be able to use them to my advantage. Tonight, you I rushed to the Tianhai Holy Demon Mountain. I want to conquer Feng Laijiang myself."
After making up their mind, Sima Yue and the silver-faced swordsman, each wearing a black cloak, left Dragon City on Pegasus under the starry night. Head straight to Tianhai Holy Demon Mountain, a thousand miles away in Donghua City.
