The moment Zhong Zhennan pushed the flame in his hand into the depths of the magma, a huge brilliance suddenly erupted from the crater.
The magma, which was more violent than when the Library Pavilion collapsed, rushed straight up and rushed towards the unknown dome.
"Yes...yes, that's right, that's it..."
Zhong Zhennan couldn't hide his excitement and watched this scene with bright eyes.
The golden magma continues to surge, and the colorful light coming from the depths gradually emerges.
——That is the gem of authority of the inheritance place.
The moment he reached out tremblingly to grab the gem, his eyes suddenly turned into a mass of black, and he couldn't see his fingers.
And in the darkness, the only bright color - a familiar figure, was walking towards him.
"How...why is it you? You have obviously been killed by people from the Wild Snow Sect...!"
"Why can't it be me? It's precisely because it's me that the children of the Wild Snow Sect are unable to drive me out."
The pitch-black field in front of him reminded him of a person who would never appear here.
Only he could appear here quietly and interrupt him at the last moment.
But even in Zhong Zhennan's worst plan, he never expected that Tian Xi actually had a clone that had never been discovered!
"Are you surprised? Actually, no. You are also the one who knows part of my plan.
"Since you want to control the life of the 'Heavenly One', the person who monitors everyone around him naturally needs to have the closest identity.
"Even though I'm already four or five in my sixties, I'm still young after all. It's more than enough to put on a show in front of a fledgling child."
Before he finished speaking, the figure suddenly enlarged sharply in Zhong Zhennan's eyes, as if he was very close.
Zhong Zhennan wanted to run away, but he found that his back was dripping with cold sweat, and his torso had already stiffened with fear, making him almost unable to move.
He could only raise his voice, as if this would embolden himself:
"You... you're lurking next to Ling Linhan like this, aren't you afraid... aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?! He will definitely..."
However, his trembling voice revealed his inner fear.
"It's better to worry about yourself, Zhennan."
The voice still sounded young and immature, but its tone was so mature that there was an unreal sense of dislocation.
"I told you before, as long as you are obedient and do as I say.
"Even if there are some twists and turns in the process, you will definitely get what you want. Isn't that great?"
His young hand gently placed on Zhong Zhennan's Tianling Cap.
"No...you can't do this to me! Everything I do is done according to what you said!
"Whether it's suppressing other gangs, making trouble for Qi Xiangyun, going against Ling Linhan, or preventing Ling Yao from joining forces with him! No matter what it is! It's obviously what you asked me to do!!"
Zhong Zhennan couldn't escape, but the fear in his heart suddenly turned into some kind of power at this moment, allowing him to dare to roar at the top of his lungs at a True Yuan realm powerhouse.
"You never planned to let me go from the beginning! You said that as long as I am willing to help this plan, I can become your closed disciple... It's all a lie!
"I am more than just a stepping stone for the 'Heavenly One'! You have clearly planned it long ago to let him kill me and create his 'hero' image!!
"If I continue to listen to you, I will die in his hands sooner or later!
"I don't have a choice! I have to kill him first before I can survive! I just want to survive!!"
The voice shook his head:
"I have always put the choice in front of you, Zhennan. I value you so much that I made the promise of being a 'closed disciple' to you.
"That child is not a murderous person. As long as you show your surrender in the future, he will naturally let you go.
"It's a pity that you made the wrong choice in order to hold on to the power in your hands.
"You always want to replace him... but killing him does not allow you to obtain the status of 'Heaven's Favorite'. Only those recognized by the rules of heaven have this qualification.
“If it’s Ling Yao, looking at the choices he made today, he might still have a chance;
"You? When you abandoned everyone and left, you had already lost your qualifications as a 'Blessed One'.
"All you have done is kill the goose that lays the eggs."
With a gentle squeeze of his hand, Zhong Zhennan's skull immediately made a frightening crackling sound.
Zhong Zhennan's protruding eyes gradually lost focus, leaving only vague murmurs in his mouth:
"You all...cannot die well..."
However, the man just sighed and waved away the dark realm.
He touched Zhong Zhennan's forehead lightly with his hand, and the entire body immediately turned into ashes.
"Although I have already expected that you will not give in. But the person who makes the choice is ultimately you."
He raised his head and looked at the brilliantly radiant gem of authority, then closed his eyes.
"Now that the flames have returned, your mission is completely completed. Right here, rest in peace..."
…
Ling Linhan is now walking depressedly in the tunnel of the volcanic cave, heading towards the final refining place under the guidance of the cornerstone of the world.
However, contrary to plan, he was not alone now.
He also carries a comatose oil bottle.
He glared hard at the large oil bottle that had fallen on the ground, suddenly threw it to the ground, turned around and hammered it against the stone wall next to it.
then……
Hua la la la——
The roof of the cave was injured and he lost a head of rubble.
"Damn! I'm so unlucky today!!!"
Ling Linhan rolled his eyes in anger and shook his head for a long time before getting rid of the messy things on his head.
"It's so annoying, it's so annoying! Why should I save this guy? He's dead! Let's just leave him to die!"
He stamped his feet several times on the spot, and finally gave a certain oil bottle a sideways glance.
However, in the end, he still grabbed the opponent's back collar inconsistently and continued to drag the oil bottle forward on the ground.
Even if it was placed in front of half a stick of incense, if someone told him, he would risk his life to save Ling Yao, his old enemy.
He will definitely grab the other person's neck and scold the other person for being stupid.
And now, although his actions were rough and violent, he still did not leave Ling Yao to fend for himself.
Could it be that after half a stick of incense, his mind went crazy?
That’s weird!
If that student from Shenlong Academy hadn't suddenly turned around and wanted to destroy the spatial rift, things would never have turned out like this!
Ling Linhan was not sure who was instructing that guy and whose purpose was to kill one of them.
But if Ling Linhan hadn't already found a way out, he and Ling Yao would have been blown to ashes by the turbulent flow of the void.
The man's expression was wrong, as if he was being controlled by someone's mind.
This is Ling Linhan's only impression of the perpetrator.
He could have observed more, such as remembering the person's appearance, suppressing the other person's characteristics, and judging whose spiritual power the other person carried...
If Ling Yao hadn't kicked him in the butt.
If Ling Yao hadn't wanted to kick him out of the void crack that was about to close.
The magma pool in the center of the cave seems to have been activated by the mechanism, and the gem of authority has faintly emerged in the void.
Ling Linhan let go, angrily threw the unconscious Ling Yao to the ground, and walked towards the Gem of Power.
Obviously he can escape on his own! It's all this guy's own fault!
She even kicked him...and cursed him! It’s just deliberate revenge! !
Ling Linhan took several deep breaths before calming down and releasing the cornerstone of the world.
Then he sacrificed the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower and shrouded it in the Gem of Power.
With double blessing, the authority and power of the inheritance land were quickly gathered on the pagoda, and under the guidance of the cornerstone of the world, they became closer and closer to Ling Linhan.
However, a sudden change occurred!
The Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower that originally assisted Ling Linhan in refining the place of inheritance suddenly erupted with terrifying power and sent out a stream of spiritual power to stab Ling Yao behind him!
"Stop! Stop!!" Ling Linhan opened his eyes immediately, ignoring the hot magma, and reached out to grab the body of Jiutian Chongyun Tower.
And as expected, the spiritual power dissipated instantly. But the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower was still vibrating crazily and uncontrollably.
Ling Linhan can even feel its emotions from it
——Extreme hatred, as if there is a blood feud, and he will not stop until he kills the enemy.
Just like when he tried to release the pagoda to stop Ling Yao from killing the Wolf King, the pagoda gave him the same emotion.
Because of the strong emotion, he killed Ling Yao without hesitation.
Although it didn't work out.
Also... luckily it didn't work out.
Otherwise, he may never realize that there will be times when the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower will be out of his control, or even affect him in turn.
"Stop...don't you understand? I told you to stop!!"
Although it sounds ridiculous and stupid, in his heart, he wants to defeat Ling Yao, wants to severely humiliate this old enemy who bullied him, wants Ling Yao to bow his head and admit his mistake, wants Ling Yao to kneel on the ground and repent. Pray for forgiveness…
He thought of countless ways to make Ling Yao regretful and miserable.
But he had no intention of killing him unprepared.
If you want him to die, you have to kill him in an upright duel!
He wants the world to realize that he is right; and those who are wrong will be punished.
An invincible battle cannot achieve his wish!
And what makes him feel strange is... the power of the cornerstone of the world is particularly close to Ling Yao, and the place of inheritance also recognizes Ling Yao's talent and understanding.
However, Jiutian Chongyun Pagoda, where Patriarch Tianxin devoted his life's talents and martial arts, and whose connotations were closest to those of Patriarch Tianxin at the moment of his death, hated Ling Yao particularly and even wanted to kill him.
It has been more than nine hundred years since the death of Patriarch Tianxin. Ling Yao, a young man in his twenties, could never have anything to do with Patriarch Tianxin himself.
And if it was because his ancestors of the Ling family offended Patriarch Tianxin after the inheritance place was formed, the current situation was caused by the influence of blood inheritance.
How could the Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda not only hate Ling Yao, but also recognize him, Ling Linhan?
Even if he wanted to know the truth, he couldn't let Ling Yao die here!
Ling Linhan was determined to control the Jiutian Chongyun Tower. He mobilized all his spiritual power and used his Dantian as the center to speed up the refining of the Gem of Authority and the Jiutian Chongyun Tower.
Jiutian Chongyun Pagoda wanted to make him half master after all, so he gradually calmed down and allowed Ling Linhan to drive him.
Not long after, the power gem was successfully collected by the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower, and was embedded on the golden top of the tower, shining brightly.
Ling Linhan felt the surging power in his body and finally let out a long breath.
"It can be considered a success..."
And because he had just taken the risk to refine it, the compatibility between the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower and the Stone of Authority was now even higher than he expected.
The rioting magma gradually calmed down at this moment, and the originally broken first few layers of space began to slowly gather together, re-condensing into the appearance of the plain and the inheritance palace.
Ling Linhan can sense these changes, just like the body moving the arms, and the arms moving the fingers.
Now, everything in the inheritance land is under his control.
As long as he invokes his authority and reopens the door to space, he can escape from here and return to the real world.
Back to...eh?
What should Ling Yao do?
Ling Linhan tilted his neck and showed a thoughtful expression.
Finally, this guy fell into his hands.
It would be too easy for him to just let him out like this.
At least punch him a few times, slap him a few times, tooth for tooth, eye for eye...
At that time, when Ling Linhan was kicked into the space crack.
He still clearly remembered the last words Ling Yao said to him.
The guy said to him fiercely
——"NMD, I said it before!"
Ling Linhan slashed with his right hand, opening a new space crack in the void.
He lifted up Ling Yao's arm, pushed Ling Yao into the space passage, and then raised his feet.
"I am - super vindictive! This time..."
He kicked Ling Yao's butt hard.
Kicked Ling Yao into the space passage.
——"The younger ones get out first!"
"The older ones get out of here first!"
