As Jiang Xuan walked over, Shen Qian remained on high alert.
He was originally thinking about how to bring Jiang Xuan back without disturbing Zhong Li, but he didn't expect that Zhong Li didn't stop Jiang Xuan.
During the whole process, her eyes never left Jiang Chengye.
It seems that the bloodline they mentioned before has become less important...
This made Shen Qian realize that he seemed to have misunderstood something. Zhong Li was not entirely using his relationship with Jiang Chengye.
"Jiang Chengye, you have never had me in your heart."
At this moment, she stared at Jiang Chengye's side face and asked in a voice so cold that it sent chills down the spine... No, that tone was more like some kind of affirmative statement.
However, she had clearly seen the truth from Jiang Chengye's behavior, but there was still some kind of expectation in her eyes at this moment.
She waited eagerly for Jiang Chengye's answer.
Jiang Chengye watched Jiang Xuan walk up to Shen Qian, and then his eyes slowly moved, but he stared at Shen Qian.
Shen Qian roughly knew what Jiang Chengye wanted to say, and nodded lightly before the other party could speak.
"I'll take care of her."
After receiving Shen Qian's promise, Jiang Chengye seemed to have finally let go of one thing on his mind. His breathing became more intense, and his face became gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he still ignored Zhong Li who was waiting.
His eyes first glanced at some of the corpses on the ground, and then fixed on some of the scavenger generals, and whispered in a daze:
"I...I didn't have many happy years in my life, but...ahem...but the time when I lived happily was...Jiangzhong Junwu..."
"You...believe in me, support...ahem...support me, but unfortunately...I didn't fulfill my promise after all, and didn't...didn't take you home."
"Actually, I know that we can't go back a long time ago... We have all become monsters, no, it was me who turned you into monsters..."
"sorry……"
As Jiang Chengye spoke, his tone gradually became smoother. He grinned and invisible tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Among the scavenger generals, several people raised their heads blankly. Their expressions, which were originally tense and ferocious, softened at this moment. Resentment and sadness were intertwined in their eyes, which was extremely complicated.
Shen Qian glanced at the bodies of Li Sixi and others on the ground and couldn't help but feel silent.
He didn't know what Li Sixi and others were thinking before they died. They may have trusted Jiang Chengye immensely, but this trust eventually became the grave where they were buried.
Jiang Chengye, who was burdened with the hatred of these people, may have dreamed in his heart that one day he could bring them back to the human race and live a normal life again.
Unfortunately, from the moment they were involved in the "door", the outcome was already doomed...
As early as when Shen Qian entered the Heaven Realm for the first time, he discovered that the souls of Li Sixi and others had long been distorted. Whether it was due to physical mutation or something else, it was impossible for them to go back.
And Jiang Chengye knew this very well.
Carrying such heavy shackles of guilt for eleven years, Shen Qian shuddered just thinking about it.
"Chengye..."
Old man Hu, who was standing next to Shen Qian, stared blankly, his face ashen.
Shen Qianqian could only understand a little about Old Man Hu's mood based on his experience.
But he knew that Old Man Hu had always treated Jiang Chengye as his own child. Perhaps during these eleven years, the other party was actually like Jiang Chengye, holding on to some illusory hope that he knew was almost impossible...
But today, everything finally collapsed completely.
"You once treated me like a son, but I searched the world and couldn't find a way to have both... In the future, if Xiaoxuan no longer hates me, she can fulfill her filial piety for me."
Jiang Chengye finally looked at Hu Feiwei, and after trying his best to move the corner of his mouth, Jiang Chengye suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop", slowly but firmly bent down in the direction of Hu Feiwei, and touched his head with his head. land.
Immediately, Jiang Chengye maintained this posture and never moved again.
With the sound of "click", something seemed to have completely dissipated invisibly.
Shen Qian's pupils shrank. Although Jiang Chengye's vitality could not be reversed, his spiritual core was not completely broken.
Although he was suppressed by an emperor-level powerhouse, given how strong the prince's vitality was, Jiang Chengye might not be without the possibility of resurrection.
But at that moment, in Shen Qian's mental perception, Jiang Chengye used up his remaining strength and shattered his own spiritual core.
This is equivalent to extinguishing all possibilities of self-resurrection. Even the "good luck" elixir cannot save the other party.
For a peerless genius who has become a prince at the age of thirty, how desperate and dark must his heart be to make such a move?
Without saying a word, Jiang Xuan fainted from the extreme sadness and was supported by Ji Ruoshui who looked sad at the side.
"Chengye, Chengye..."
Old Man Hu unusually stopped crying and just muttered Jiang Chengye's name in a low voice.
It's just visible to the naked eye that he still had some black hair, but it lost all its brilliance at an extremely fast speed and turned into dry white.
This scene made everyone feel touched and fell into silence.
They didn't know Jiang Chengye as well as Hu Feiwei, but they also knew roughly Jiang Chengye's experience.
An orphan from a border town rose like a meteor, but also died like a meteor.
He will not appear in the official history of the human race, although his cultivation and age are enough to be remembered by countless warriors...
"Hehehe..."
At this time, a burst of laughter floated in the Yaochi Palace.
Everyone in mixed moods looked up, but Zhong Li, who had been standing quietly next to Jiang Chengye, made some movement.
The louder she laughed, the louder she became. She even laughed so much that her body trembled and she couldn't straighten up.
"Jiang Chengye, have you always thought that I have never revealed my heart to you?"
"A witch like me is full of lies and has a heart like a snake?"
"Yes, I admit that you saved my life, took me back to school... and even everything was a plan, but, but..."
"'I like you' is true!"
Zhong Li smiled, with bright red flowing from the corners of his eyes, which was shocking.
Shen Qian frowned, feeling suddenly uneasy.
This kind of uneasiness comes very suddenly, and is more like a vague premonition, which belongs to the vague perception of blessings and misfortunes that a warrior has after reaching a certain state.
He subconsciously glanced at Cheng Qingqing next to him, only to find that the other party also looked at her with a solemn expression.
"You feel it too?"
"Assuming something goes wrong, you take the others and leave first, don't worry about me."
Shen Qian nodded slightly, and finally his eyes focused on Zhong Li.
If there could be any threat at the scene, it would most likely come from Zhongli, whose mental state was obviously not right anymore.
Although Zhongli was seriously injured by Jiang Chengye before, for a noble prince, it was not considered a fatal injury at all.
Shen Qian, who has clearly understood the division of princely realms, can no longer naively believe that his clone can rely on two kinds of strange fire to compete with Zhongli who must have opened the "Heaven Gate".
This is why Shen Qian has been watching the development of the situation and has not acted rashly.
Although he couldn't beat him, but with the help of several trump cards to briefly block the opponent, Shen Qian thought to himself that there would be no problem. If he really fought hard, he would have no chance of winning.
It is a pity that the star-level weapon "Tian Ming" that has been successfully exchanged was not delivered to the sixth brother in time due to the rush this time. Otherwise, with "Tian Ming" in hand and the clone that has awakened the star power, Shen Qian He will be more confident facing Zhongli.
Under Shen Qian's vigilant gaze, Zhongli did not do anything radical. In fact, there was no one else in her eyes. She just squatted down and hugged the man kneeling on the ground while talking. Jiang Chengye.
"I know that you have never truly forgotten your ethnic group in your heart. I hate you, but I love you even more because of it..."
"Jiang Chengye, why can you be so indifferent to me when you are dying? I won't allow it!"
As Zhongli spoke, his expression suddenly became crazy.
"Do you think you can get rid of me completely like this?"
"Hehehehe..."
"Don't even think about it!"
"We agreed that we would be entangled for three lives and three lifetimes, which would last for ninety thousand years in total. Where are we now?"
Buzz!
Along with Zhongli's murmur, the brilliance between heaven and earth suddenly disappeared bit by bit.
The sky, which was already darkened due to its renewed ruin, became extremely oppressive at this moment. High in the sky, dark clouds that were so thick that they could not be dispersed had gathered at some point.
"Shen Qian!"
Cheng Qingqing realized something was wrong and called out.
In fact, there was no need for Cheng Qingqing to remind him. As soon as the changes occurred in the world, Shen Qian's figure had turned into lightning and shot towards Zhongli and Jiang Chengye.
He didn't know what Zhongli was going to do, but in his sight, Zhongli's hand holding Jiang Chengye tightly suddenly seemed to have shrunk and began to dry up.
A bit of green light mixed with some evil flavor was rising from Zhongli's body.
Shen Qian, who knew that this was the source of his previous threat, could not just sit back and watch what happened.
"Stop him and risk your lives."
Zhong Li was still lying on Jiang Chengye's back with blurred eyes, but he gave the coldest order with the softest words.
Invisibly, waves like water emanated from Zhongli's body, spreading out like ripples and spreading to every scavenger general.
"kill!"
The eyes of the numerous scavenger generals, numbering close to two hundred, suddenly glowed with blood-like red light. They drew their weapons and rushed toward Shen Qian one after another.
Shen Qian frowned slightly, stretched out his palm, and pulled out the Shanhe Knife out of thin air. He raised the knife and lowered it, and the bright light of the knife swept out.
Poof!
Amidst the blood splattering, several scavenger generals who bore the brunt were cut in half by Shen Qian.
Thanks to the bonus of their battle armors, these scavenger generals were mostly at the early stages of Shanhai and posed little threat to Shen Qian.
Especially at this time, they were in a state of mental madness and had no idea how to dodge. Shen Qian was as easy to kill as chopping melons and vegetables.
But precisely because of this, it became extremely difficult for Shen Qian to cross their defense line composed of flesh and blood.
He was about to summon his clone to launch a surprise attack from another angle without risking exposure, when a terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate suddenly rose from where Jiang Chengye was.
Shocked, Shen Qian slashed out again, clearing a space in front of his eyes. His eyes penetrated the layers of figures and saw the figures of Zhong Li and Jiang Chengye again.
In this short moment, Zhongli, who was lying on Jiang Chengye's back, was no longer human. His whole body was withered, except for his cheeks which remained the same.
Countless green lights gathered in the sky above the two of them, and as Zhong Li muttered, they condensed into a strange symbol.
The overall shape of the symbol is a bit like the Taoist yin-yang fish, but there are countless patterns layered on it, which converge into a heart-like figure in the middle.
At the moment when the green light was completely formed, Zhongli lowered his head suddenly and bit Jiang Chengye's neck.
Amidst the blood splattering, Zhongli raised his head and sprayed the blood sucked from Jiang Chengye's neck onto the green symbol.
"Use blood as a contract, use spirit as a curse, use my name, regardless of life or death!"
Zhong Li recited the last incantation, then with a smile, he put his head on Jiang Chengye's back and slowly closed his eyes.
"Life after life, you and I will never be separated..."
Accompanied by those words of satisfaction or resentment, Zhongli's vitality was suddenly cut off without any warning.
Boom!
While the dark clouds and thunder were rolling in the sky, the green symbol that seemed to suddenly come to life sank into Jiang Chengye's body like a tide.
Jiang Chengye, who was kneeling on the ground and completely dead, suddenly straightened up.
His eyes were still closed, but in Shen Qian's perception, the vitality in his body began to revive at an incredible speed.
From the sky, from the ground, and from unknown places in the surrounding space, thick black mist gathered. Part of it penetrated into Jiang Chengye's body, and more of it entered Zhongli's body.
Kaka!
When the black mist drained away, Jiang Chengye stood up little by little as if controlled by invisible hands.
During this process, Zhongli had been clinging to Jiang Chengye's back, and twisted black spells appeared on her exposed corpse-like body.
The talisman was spread all over her body, and there was a vague connection with Jiang Chengye, who had also swallowed the black mist.
"What kind of magic is this?"
This strange scene of resurrection from the dead made everyone change their expressions.
"This is……"
Cheng Qingqing felt like she had seen similar things somewhere, and frowned, but couldn't remember it for a while.
When Shen Qian looked at Jiang Chengye carrying Zhongli's body, the corresponding familiar scene appeared in his mind.
It was in ancient times, on the battlefield of all races, when he fought against Ulan, who was known as the number one genius of the younger generation of all races. The opponent's trump card at the last moment was the corpse of a princely female on his back...
This is a mysterious profession of the Witch Clan.
"The body-carrying man!"
Shen Qian blurted out.
At the same time as Shen Qian's words sounded, Jiang Chengye, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes as dark as the abyss.
