"It seems that you are recovering well!" Lan Luoran has already been waiting on the outskirts of Lancheng. This is the only route from Lancheng to the Northern Wasteland. Other than that, it is a restricted area for life. There is no way there. Passage.
"Do I know you?" Lin Zihan looked at the old man standing in front of him in confusion, his heart full of doubts. Although Lin Zihan always forgets some things, Lin Zihan will remember everyone he has met, and the person in front of him is Lin Zihan was certain that he had never seen this person in his twenty-four years of life.
"He is the Shadow Sect you have never seen before, the Lord of Dark Night, the strongest existence among our seven Shadow Sects." Gui Chan turned his head slightly and glanced at Lan Luoran. He is still here, no matter as a Shadow Sect Zong, who was also the military commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, Lan Luoran finally dared to face Lin Zihan.
"The strongest?" Lin Zihan was slightly shocked. In Lin Zihan's world, the six Shadow Sects he had seen were not strong or weak. They just had different abilities and each had their own strengths. If If we really start to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell the winner for a while.
But Gui Chan actually said frankly that Lan Luoran was the strongest among the seven shadow sects. Fu Tu, who had always been proud, did not even refute, seeming to agree with Gui Chan's statement. Even Tao Xue was always calm. Shui's eyes also had ripples at this time.
"Are you here after all?" Taoxue took a deep breath and said slowly, her tone a little helpless and even more complaining, but more of it was excitement and relief. Seeing the once strongest Shadow Sect, after all, Being willing to face these old friends, my heart is naturally filled with unspeakable joy.
"I will not leave Lancheng. I am needed here more than you. I will stay here to make up for the mistakes we made back then." Lan Luoran's calm face showed no emotion, and his tone was more serious. It's as cold as ice.
The northern border, which had begun to warm up, made Lin Zihan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the cold air around him was forcing itself on him.
"That was not the result we wanted. It was all an accident. You can't..." Tao Xue suddenly became a little excited. He was not at all like the old person in charge at Nandu University of Science and Technology, who was eagerly He said, seeming to want to retain Lan Luoran.
"That's enough. I don't want to mention what happened back then. The reason why I came here this time is because I want to say something to you." Lan Luoran's eyes fell on Lin Zihan, and his dark eyes stared at Lin Zihan. Han, a sense of fear instantly surged into Lin Zihan's heart.
"Abyss!" That thought suddenly exploded in Lin Zihan's mind. This was Lin Zihan's first feeling about Lan Luoran. Those eyes made Lin Zihan see an endless black abyss, empty and dead, without any life. The abyss is filled with darkness.
"Tell me...?" Lin Zihan lost his mind for a moment. The moment he looked at Lan Luoran was just a blink of an eye, but to Lin Zihan it seemed like a long time had passed, a day, a month, or... One year...
At this time, Gui Chan also clenched his fists hard, sweat flowed from his palms along his fingers, and his arms trembled slightly due to the exertion. Gui Chan, who had always been as calm as water, had never been so nervous, even in the Sudden Enlightenment Zen. The Tao cannot calm the restlessness in my heart.
Tao Xue and Fu Tu also showed nervousness and uneasiness in their eyes. They were secretly building up their strength, like cheetahs ready to go, and looked at Lan Luoran warily.
"Why are you so nervous? I just want to say a few words. Look at you, you look like I will kill him." Lan Luoran sneered disdainfully, with an understatement and did not care at all about Gui Chan and the other three. Killing intent.
"Is this the sense of oppression of the strongest shadow sect?" Lin Zihan thought in his heart, with a look of fear in his eyes, without any confidence and calmness when he faced Bai Meng directly. Cold sweat broke out behind him, and his hands hung down. On both sides of the body, I wanted to exert force but found that I couldn't exert a little strength, even raising my hands was difficult to do.
"Do you want to know why our shadow is obsessed with Beihuang?" Lan Luoran's voice was like a loud bell, which made Lin Zihan tremble all over. At that moment, his soul was shaken out of his body. At this time, Lin Zihan only glanced He glanced at Lan Luoran, but didn't even have the courage to look directly at Lan Luoran.
The surroundings turned into an endless black abyss almost instantly, just like Lan Luoran's eyes, bottomless, and Lin Zihan was bound by iron chains in the black abyss, waiting for Lan Luoran's questioning.
"I'm not interested in knowing!" Although he didn't have the courage to look directly at Lan Luoran, how could Lin Zihan bow his head easily, even though Lan Luoran's thoughts had already turned into a big hand, holding Lin Zihan's life. , just a gentle crush can turn Lin Zihan into an unconscious body.
"If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to speak so forcefully." Lan Luoran didn't even take action. He just glanced at Lin Zihan with anger in his eyes, and a tyrannical and barbaric force fell instantly. It landed on Lin Zihan's chest and passed through Lin Zihan's body.
"Pfft~~" Even though this was the spiritual world, Lin Zihan felt severe pain all over his body. It felt like his limbs had been broken, and his internal organs had been penetrated by dense silver needles. Every inch of his body was filled with pain. It was an unbearable sting.
Lin Zihan, who had just retorted, just took a move from Lan Luoran, and instantly became embarrassed. He even had no strength to speak. He only had one thought, it hurts!
"This feeling of depression is somewhat similar to the golden dragon soul I felt at the Dragon Clan Ruins in the Poisonous Mist Area." Lin Zihan didn't know whether he was so painful that he fainted, and he actually confused the person in front of him with the one he felt at the Dragon Tomb. Seen together with the golden dragon.
"The reason why Ying is obsessed with Beihuang is because Beihuang holds the most fundamental secrets of Yuanxing, about why we live here, about humans, viruses, ferocious beasts, subspecies, etc. All the secrets, as you can see Just like the Seed Project, some people once believed that humans did not belong on this planet.
But during the catastrophe thousands of years ago, humans had already been born, and the seed plan seemed to have been rumored only in the past five hundred years, so it was too absurd for me. But we have to admit that the great catastrophe of Yuanxing started from the fall of that spark. "Lan Luoran put away the pressure he released and gave Lin Zihan a chance to breathe.
"The inheritance of the Shadow Sect comes from Dragon, who was once the master of Yuan Star. No matter what happens to Yuan Star in the future, we have the responsibility to protect this planet for Dragon and drive away those things that do not belong to Yuan Star." Lan Luoran's expression changed. It is much more complicated. Even now that Lan Luoran has touched the original realm of the dragon record, he still cannot feel the existence of the Star Server, nor can he understand what is in the Northern Wilderness.
"Actually, this is our responsibility, but we are human beings after all. Even if we receive the gift of a dragon, we cannot fully become as powerful as a dragon, so we did not hesitate to explore the dragon secret book and find the dragon blood inheritance technique.
We were hesitant at the beginning, but after the seven of us were defeated in the Northern Wasteland, we felt the surging power coming from the majestic snow mountains. We lost miserably, even as the strongest Shadow Sect. I was also knocked out of the Dark Night Realm with one move, and completely lost the ability to master the origin. "
At this point, Lan Luoran became a lot more haggard. The originally arrogant Lan Luoran sneered at Xuan Yu's idea of building a dragon, but he did not expect that Beihuang was beyond human power after all.
"Is this why you want to create a dragon to become your tool and help you unlock the secrets of the Northern Wilderness, the origin of the catastrophe, and the Hs virus that suddenly appeared in Yuanxing?" Lin Zihan felt the rush into his body. The turbulent power is being withdrawn bit by bit, and the feeling of being disturbed in the internal organs disappears.
"None of these are important. I think you have already touched the restrictions in Beihuang. I am more concerned about what kind of truth is hidden in Beihuang. Is it the truth that dragons existed and were destroyed, or is it a lie." Lan Luoran said slowly. Slowly looking up, through the endless abyss, I saw the snow-capped mountains, with a black tower standing in the snow-capped mountains.
"I wonder if the appearance of the Black Tower will reveal the mystery." Lan Luoran's eyes became more complex. After the secret of Beihuang was revealed, the Beihuang army no longer needed to guard that road. The Great Steel Wall, and at that time the North may also have an advantage in the war between the Starfield Empire and the Federation.
"I know you can't be willing to be a tool for shadow. If you can really uncover the secrets deep in the Northern Wilderness, I can promise you that Xuan Yu will never interfere with your future life, and I will also tell you what's most important in your heart. The answer I want to know is about the person you care about most about your life experience and the figure who appeared that night in Beihuang." A faint smile appeared on Lan Luoran's lips, revealing a bit of confidence. He believed in this deal, and Lin Zihan couldn't refuse it.
"Deal!" Lin Zihan only thought for less than a second before agreeing happily. He believed that every Shadow Sect would keep their word, at least those who kept their word, although he didn't like Xuan Yu's backstory. Although he only disliked his little actions, he didn't dislike them to the extreme. In Xu Mo's comments, he gradually felt relieved.
"I'm very curious about how Lan Xi persuaded you to agree to cooperate with the military commander to complete this journey to the Northern Wilderness. I think her sister Lan Hong is far better than her in grasping people's hearts, but even if Even Lan Hong couldn't convince you." Seeing Lin Zihan's straightforward response, Lan Luoran asked the question that he had not thought about in the past few days.
"I don't know why, but Lan Hong told me all the pros and cons of cooperating with the Northern Territory, whether it was to break the siege of Dihao's southern capital, or to protect me from Shenghui's influence. Threat, and also frankly what this means to the Northern Territory, it can be said that she has sincerely and accurately grasped my psychology. She knows that I care about Dihao because I care about Wang Qin." Lin Zihan saw Lan Luoran like this I was curious, so I didn’t hide it anymore.
"But Lan Xi, she ran to the Blue River Hotel in a rage and cursed me. She told me with rain, the soldiers who died in the Northern Wilderness over the years scolded me for being cold-blooded and ruthless, scolding me for being self-righteous, and even She mentioned her parents who died in the battle and asked me why the Northern Wilderness Army vowed to defend the Northern Wilderness defense line to the death, but I turned a blind eye." Lin Zihan suddenly felt his heart aching.
"That look is very similar to when I stood on that street corner, questioning why the world was so unfair to me. I have recalled countless days and nights how my hands were stained with blood and the lives I carried on my shoulders." Lin Zihan's mouth showed. gave a wry smile.
"I once wanted to make a change, and my change was to escape Longcheng and go to a place where no one knew me, but Lan Xi's words woke me up. It was an escape, not a change, so I wanted to meet Regarding the responsibilities that the identity of Long Zi brings to me, I think one day I will also face the judgment that the identity of the killer brings to me." Lin Zihan said, everything around him became illusory, and Fu Tu stood on his own again. behind.
…
"Actually, you can live your own life without being burdened by Longzi's identity." Although Gui Chan didn't know what Lan Luoran and Lin Zihan said, he could feel that Lan Luoran left happily, and Lan Luoran left happily. Luo Ran got the answer he wanted.
"But this is my mission, isn't it? Since I bear the blood of a dragon, I should, as a dragon, face what a dragon should face." Lin Zihan stopped, and a black mountain appeared in front of him among the snow-capped mountains. The tower towers into the sky.
"Beihuang, I, Lin Zihan, am back again!"
