(This is all completed)
Ling Linhan's words were resounding and to the point, without any concern for Yin Ruobing's face, and revealed the most feared secret deep in her heart.
"No...those people are obviously Ling Yao!!"
However, her argument was hurried and trembling, so pale that even she couldn't convince herself.
yes. It was Ling Yao who directly committed the murder. So when Ling Yao was seriously injured and Ling Linhan rushed to Liuchuan, she could wantonly confuse right and wrong, distort the facts in the Ling family, and sanctimoniously describe Ling Yao as a murderer who committed crimes, disregarded human life, and even collaborated with the demons. He and Hengnan and the others were described as tragic heroes who rose up to resist but were unable to stop the evil enemy, and Ling Linhan was described as the savior who turned the tide and saved the people from the fire.
The sober parties involved were either not present at that time or acquiesced in her behavior - they could all consolidate their positions and gain huge benefits from the story about smearing the enemy - telling a small lie for this purpose, and then What does it matter?
And they also confidently believed that Ling Linhan, as the biggest gainer, would never have any objections: Even if Ling Linhan's pride did not allow him to gain anything through such lies, on one side were enemies whose positions were unclear. , and on one side are a group of partners who have been through life and death. I believe he also knows what choices to make.
But what about the reality? The fact is that after Ling Yao killed his inner demon and they made such a decision without telling Ling Linhan, their identities have completely changed - it is clear who is the enemy and who is the friend.
No one will hide the truth for them.
And Yin Ruobing and the Dragon Academy represented by "Ling Feiyu" had already colluded and joined forces with the demons from outside the territory to disrupt the five-year war that year, leading to the avoidable tragedy - this incident will They will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame in the great world of Mang Sheng.
Because even if their motives were impure and they each had hidden murderous intentions; even if their inner demons were killed by Ling Yao afterwards, and there was no evidence to prove their deaths, and they could not make any waves, they could not cover up one thing:
Because of their plan, Ling Yao had to risk his life, endure the infamy, and kill hundreds of people controlled by the inner demons before he finally eliminated the inner demons completely.
"Yeah...he's only one person."
The corners of Ling Linhan's mouth that had been raised maliciously suddenly dropped at this moment. In contrast, even his eyes looked particularly sharp.
"Why haven't you thought about what if he didn't want to do this thankless thing, didn't want to bear the possible infamy, or was seriously injured but couldn't do anything... what if he failed to kill the inner demon in the end? At that time, you What are you going to do?”
And if Ling Yao had not succeeded in stopping his inner demons back then, and had allowed that guy to take the opportunity to strengthen himself and invade the world of Mang Sheng, then the hundreds of people from the Ling family would have died because of that man-made disaster.
It is precisely because of this that Ling Linhan is particularly disgusted, particularly contemptuous, and particularly hateful to these people.
"No! There's no way the inner demon can succeed!"
As if she was eager to get rid of the charge of "traitor" or wanted to show her loyalty, Yin Ruobing suddenly raised her voice and replied with a firm look,
"Aren't you here? We have known for a long time that you are the 'Blessed One'. As long as you are here, the inner demon will never succeed! If we had not known the power of the 'Blessed One', how could we have let the inner demon go? What about invading the great world of Mang Sheng? The 'Heavenly Ones' are destined to become heroes!
"Originally, the inner demon will be eliminated by you personally. Some people have to be greedy for credit to end up like that!"
"Is it...?"
Ling Linhan closed his eyes and deliberately prolonged the last part of the sentence.
He seems to be pondering, and he seems to be thinking:
"It seems that Shenlong Academy has shared a lot of information about the 'Blessed Ones' with you."
And it seems to be a twisted calm under rage:
"But you are so aggrieved and so fiercely trying to prove that Ling Yao just 'deserved it'... because although he was seriously injured and even had his Dantian broken, he never had the chance to reach a higher realm in this life.
"But he survived after all, and even became the peak master of Yueyao Peak. He was not killed by me or the inner demon as you imagined. Moreover, his current realm is still higher than yours, and he can still be killed easily. Damn you.
"Are you afraid of being retaliated by him? He saw you at that time, right? He saw you hiding in the safest and most secret corner with a posture of 'everyone is drunk and I am alone', watching with cold eyes the people under the control of the inner demons Melee and fighting, hanging high and watching the scene of corpses strewn in the ring...
"You were clearly awake, but you allowed your inner demons to rage, and even contributed to the situation. He could tell at a glance that you must be involved in this matter. Although he couldn't get away to deal with you, he saw everything."
Yin Ruobing's body trembled slightly.
"You smear him not only because you want to please me and Shenlong Academy; you also want to use our hands and even the invisible push of all living beings to get rid of the 'hidden danger' of Ling Yao for you.
"You are even more afraid of him than you are of me. Because as long as you see him, you will think of that day and your most shameful side. You are unwilling to admit your mistakes, but you have a guilty conscience. So you are always suspicious. He will take revenge on you and kill you...even if ten years have passed, you are still living in that fear."
For Ling Linhan, that day was like a chaotic nightmare. And for her, isn't it the abyss of hell?
She kept brainwashing herself, trying to convince herself that she was just a bystander who "keeps herself safe" that day, with no success or fault...
But she will never forget the mighty shouts and chaos when the heavy rain poured down that day, and she will never forget the bloody and fighting filled with evil energy.
Splashing rain.
Spilled blood.
The fluttering skirt.
Loose hair.
Countless chaotic colors are like ink and dye, filling this world. It is like a picture scroll that flows freely, depicting the tragic and heroic battle between humans and demons.
In this painting, there is only one person.
The man wielded the sharp blade with lightning, as if cutting and painting on the black curtain, slashing through the thick magic mist with one sword after another, and the lives of the reaper fanatics were futile and stubborn.
The weaker his aura is, the stronger the power of the sword is; the closer his Dantian is to breaking, the more mysterious the power of space floating around him - Yin Ruobing even suspects that even in the ordinary sky-breaking realm, it will be difficult to use the power of space So much control.
But what Ling Yao usually cultivates is obviously the power of thunder, right? ! Could it be that after being seriously injured by "Ling Feiyu", this guy got the opportunity to understand the power of space and entered a new realm in one fell swoop?
If he is allowed to survive this day, Ling Yao in the future, who has mastered the power of space in the Puxiang realm, will be able to fight against all the invincible opponents in the world at the same level.
By that time...if he discovers what he has been doing these past few days...
——It would be nice if...he died here.
This secret and sinful thought began to grow wildly in her heart.
She is the breathing dust on this painting. In such a vast scene, amid the chaos of demons, she seemed so small and dispensable. However, at this moment, she just wished that she was smaller and more difficult to detect - along with her terrible hidden thoughts.
However, the opposite happened.
The sword holder's eyes swept over and landed on her.
Yin Ruobing was not sure whether Ling Yao's look at her at that time was a coincidence, whether he recognized her as one of the participants in this mess, or whether it was just suspicion. But at that moment, she seemed like a ball pierced by that gaze, and only fear and malice kept pouring out of her heart:
go to hell. go to hell! go to hell! ! !
At that moment, she couldn't even tell whether she was also controlled by her inner demon - she rushed forward, pretending that she was going to save people, and slashed at Ling Yao with her sword.
It wasn't until she rushed closer that she clearly saw that one of Ling Yao's eyes was closed due to injury.
This seemed to double her confidence and made him feel... maybe he really had a chance, and then Ling Yao died here.
But that was one of the worst decisions she had ever made in her life.
Even if his dantian is severely damaged, even if he loses one eye, even if he is besieged by hundreds of people and has to deal with Ling Linhan's killing moves - Ling Yao can still hold on for so long, and even slowly build up his strength. The advantage - how could she succeed in a small Cave Void Realm?
So she paid the price.
The cost was one of her arms.
Of course, under the personal action of the Master of the Purple Immortal Pavilion, the arm was quickly put back on her body intact, without even a trace of scar showing. But the pain of a broken arm and the shame of being killed in an instant were engraved in her heart like a brand that could never be erased.
"I'm just...I'm just afraid that he will treat you...if! If he wants revenge! It's you who wants revenge! I'm just going along with the flow! But you were really crazy at that time He's going to kill you!! I'm just afraid that he wants to take revenge on you!!"
Da da. Da da. Da da.
This was the sound of Ling Linhan's knuckles tapping on the table.
But for a while, no one spoke anymore. The hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Even Yin Ruobing seemed to have thought of something and covered her mouth with regret.
Although he was not the instigator and was unintentional, the role played by Ling Linhan back then was not glorious - even if he could deduce that everything he did was influenced by the inner demon and the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower, but But he cannot lie to himself:
If it weren't for his preconceived distrust, if it weren't for the incomprehension and resentment hidden in his heart, he wouldn't have been controlled so easily and turned into the sharpest knife stabbed at Ling Yao.
Therefore, Ling Linhan was also taboo against others mentioning the past, tabooing about anyone using Yin Ruobing's fabricated "accomplishments" to praise him, and tabooing against others mentioning the fact that he almost killed Ling Yao back then.
"You...are right. I did do something I shouldn't have done back then, and I deserve to be punished. But there is one thing you were wrong about.
"If he wants to take revenge on someone, 'Ling Feiyu', Shenlong Academy, or me... but it will definitely not be your turn.
"Ha...'Fairy', you are a bit too self-sufficient. Is a small character like you worth the trouble and effort of someone like him? Only a 'villain' like me who holds a grudge can wish for a little bit." I’ll peel off your skin and leave you with nowhere to hide.”
Ling Linhan seemed to squeeze out the words through his teeth, holding back a vague sense of hatred.
"You don't really think that I'm just complaining for Ling Yao, right? Of course not, at least not just. I'm complaining for myself! Do you know why I want Zixian Pavilion to be destroyed? Because you want to use me to let it be destroyed Become stronger.
"What I hate most is that others treat me as a fool and as a knife. Just so you hit both. In this case, how can I let you get what you want?
"I not only want you to see the destruction of Zixian Pavilion, I also want you to know that the reason why it was destroyed is all because of you! This sounds just right for irony, doesn't it," Young Pavilion Master of Zixian Pavilion '?
"Don't worry, as long as you no longer walk in the name of 'Zixian Pavilion', I will not make things difficult for you, nor will I suppress the new forces rebuilt by others in Zixian Pavilion. But for you, I have slightly changed my mind... …
"Since the destruction of Zixian Pavilion didn't make you realize what you did wrong. Then how about I do it more harshly? For example... how about letting everyone know about your connection with the demons outside the territory? Everyone knows that the reason why Zixian Pavilion suffered my revenge is because you became a traitor to the world of Mang Sheng, how about that?"
In contrast to Ling Linhan's increasingly brisk tone, Yin Ruobing almost collapsed and fell to the ground:
"No! You can't do this! As soon as you open your mouth, I won't be able to clean you completely! Now that the demons are raging, everyone in the world of Mang Sheng will want to kill me!
"Ling Linhan! You have to be conscientious!! You know that the person who comes into contact with the inner demon is not me at all! I really never thought about killing anyone! I only acquiesced to that person because I knew that the 'Destined One' could always save the day. It’s a plan! Moreover, if you show off your face like this, Shenlong Academy won’t let you go!”
However, Ling Linhan shook his shoulders and laughed:
"In the past, I couldn't defeat Tian Xi, nor could I fight against such a huge force as Shenlong Academy, so I had to swallow my anger. But now? Do I still need to be afraid of them? Even if there is a risk, you said so
——'The favored ones can always turn danger into safety'. "
Ling Linhan didn't listen to any of Yin Ruobing's subsequent begging, crying, or cursing. He just waved his hand and ordered the guards outside to drag this "wild crazy woman" out, and told them not to let this person in again.
The silence in the past seemed to have returned to the hall.
But Ling Yao sat back on the main seat again and brewed a new pot of tea:
"Brother Xiao, are you satisfied with this show? Come and have a sip of tea as a favor."
