As for the fact that Yan Rui is the true form of the White Walker King, we had already guessed when we saw Yan Rui in the Song Dynasty, and we were sure of it when we saw the neck-and-neck battle between him and Jie Nanshi.
He originally suspected that the White Walker King's true form should be possessed by the city lords of the other two cities, but he forgot that Jiangge was his best choice. After all, to a certain extent, the Sword Pavilion is aloof from the four cities and manages the affairs of the world, which actually satisfies the White Walker King's ambitions.
The Strange Ghost King answered the question incorrectly: "Yan Rui is the great elder of Jiange and has been practicing for more than fifty years. My body has been practicing for thousands of years and is far beyond the comparison of a clone. Your little friend should not be able to defeat him." But these words He also answered Song Yu's question sideways, because if he couldn't defeat him, he wouldn't be afraid of being exposed.
"Why did he agree to cooperate with you?" Jiange or Zangfeng takes exterminating evil as his own duty. Young disciples may be deceived, but that is the great elder of Zangfeng! After Xie Nanshi came down from the mountain, he has been acting as the peak master.
How could he cooperate with the White Walkers? This is what Song Yu is most puzzled about.
…
In the woods, Jie Nanshi and Yan Rui faced each other with swords. His eyes looked redder than Yan Rui's, his white Taoist uniform was also a little redder, and there was even a touch of blood on the corner of his mouth that had not yet been wiped off. Yan Rui, on the other hand, didn't have any wounds on his body, but his cuffs were cut open by the sword energy, exposing his wrists.
"How dare you." Xie Nanshi's hand holding the sword burst with veins, which showed how much strength he used.
Yan Rui did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but instead said seductively: "Young Pavilion Master, Jiange is in charge of the affairs of good and evil in the world. It should stand above all people and make everyone bow their heads. Only by our cooperation can we comply with the destiny."
Jie Nanshi closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his expression became firm: "You are not the Great Elder, you are the King of White Walkers."
Yan Rui thought for a while, and his eyes quickly changed from deep red to bottomless black: "We have already reached a cooperation, and it makes no difference whether the person who said these words is me or him. What I do, It’s all for the future of Jiange. Jiange should stand on top of the four cities and be in charge of the prosperity of this world.”
"Nan Shi, you are the heir of our sword pavilion. You should stand at the highest position in this world, instead of having to hide your identity! Only our sword pavilion should stand at the top of this world!"
Jie Nanshi's sword-holding hand shook. He closed his eyes and his mind was in chaos. He could lie to himself that the person with scarlet eyes was not his Uncle Yan, but the White Walker King wearing Uncle Yan's skin, but... he knew Uncle Yan too well, and he knew that the person in front of him was their hidden front's eternal justice. The selfless law enforcement elder - Yan Rui.
In fact, before Xie Nanshi's father disappeared, he had been traveling all year round, killing strange ghosts and settling all injustices. Xie Nanshi was raised jointly by several elders of Jiange, among whom Yan Rui taught the most. His way of doing things, his character, and his sword moves all have the shadow of Yan Rui.
And this person who is both a teacher and a father to him, told him today that the Sword Pavilion should not be hidden, and even cooperated with the White Walker King for this purpose? This is simply ridiculous!
Xie Nanshi's mouth was full of the taste of blood, but he still gritted his teeth and said word by word: "My father never thought of letting Jiange dominate the Four Cities."
"So he is wrong!" Yan Rui completely released himself at the moment when his ambition was exposed. Even though his eyes did not turn scarlet at this time, his overall expression took on a crazy look. "The two worlds have been interdependent for a long time! The murderous White Walkers were originally, but cooperation is the best choice for our world!"
You are obviously wrong! Xie Nanshi's mind was so agitated that he couldn't make a sound for a while.
"You should be more indulgent." Song Yu's lazy voice suddenly sounded in Nan Shi's mind: "If you hold yourself back, you will only entertain others. If you need to be scolded, you can laugh when you need to. Don't tell me... If I am familiar with you If you fight with others, if you suddenly start to curse, it may have a miraculous effect."
Xie Nanshi clicked his tongue, opened his eyes and looked at Yan Rui across from him: "You old man is quite good at making excuses for yourself, don't you feel ashamed? If you can't see your own fault, you will make excuses. You still have to be shameless. Oh, maybe you are too thick-skinned and tough, and you don’t even know what shame and shame are. The future of Jiange? Does Jiange belong to you? What does the future have to do with you? Can you represent Jiange? If the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion knew that you were cooperating with the White Walkers, they would be so angry that they would die..."
His sudden output really stunned Yan Rui.
Xie Nanshi naturally saw Yan Rui's dazedness at that moment, and the long sword came out of his hand. The sword came out like a stream of light, and penetrated Yan Rui's Dantian with one strike.
Yan Rui looked down at his abdomen in disbelief, then raised his head and looked at Jie Nanshi blankly. After being in a stalemate like this for a long time, he dared to believe that the child he had raised with his own hands pierced his Dantian with a sword.
Since his Dantian is broken, he won't live much longer.
"Nan Shi, you have grown up." Maybe he was really about to die, Yan Rui suddenly let go, and his eyes were even filled with relief. "With you here, I will definitely be able to bring Jiange to the top."
"Bah, do you think everyone is as curious about the top as you are?!"
Yan Rui was in a daze, and for a moment he thought it was still Jie Nanshi, but when he turned around, he saw the boy named Song Yu. He didn't know when he had opened his eyes, staring at himself angrily. The last time Xie Nanshi returned to Jiange, he discovered that this person had a special physique and wanted to study it, but he was indeed right.
Song Yu scolded and got behind Xie Nanshi. Although Yan Rui looked a bit miserable now, he was the great elder of Zangfeng after all, and there was still a strange ghost king living in his body. Is it really that easy to die?
"Are you injured?" Xie Nanshi looked at Song Yu worriedly. He should not have used Song Yu as a inducement. But this is the fastest way.
In fact, before this, he had already suspected that the identity of the White Walker King might be hidden in Zangfeng. After all, among the four cities, Tianyong is the strongest, but Tianyong's Song City Lord was seriously injured in his early years and has never recovered. Besides that, the one who is most likely to win the world is Bai Zhao. Since the white ghosts stored in the main body of Baizhao City are just clones, how could the main body choose the remaining two city lords?
It is indeed risky to use Song Yu as bait, but Xie Nanshi really can't wait any longer. He must personally clean up the entire Zangfeng!
"Before asking others, you should take care of yourself first." Song Yu almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, and skillfully took out the red medicine and fed it to Jie Nanshi. "I'm not a fool. You suddenly urged me to sleep. How can I still not know what you want to do?"
"Sorry." Xie Nanshi swallowed the red medicine, raised his sword and walked towards Yan Rui, looking at him with complicated eyes.
"Why, you can't take action? You are a sword cultivator, so you should move forward bravely without any ties." There was no fear in Yan Rui's expression, and his voice was even high-pitched: "You shouldn't be soft-hearted!"
Song Yu was still standing some distance away, but he was almost shaken by the sound. Are the White Walkers and the things possessed by the White Walkers both a bit seriously ill? Why do they like to shout so loudly?
His mind was so confused at the moment that he didn't even notice that he was being scolded.
Xie Nanshi didn't seem to be affected, and he slashed directly with his sword. However, Yan Rui, who had fallen to the ground unable to support himself, disappeared in front of him.
"cough……"
Jie Nanshi turned his head subconsciously when he heard Song Yu's cough, and saw Yan Rui appearing behind Song Yu at some point and putting one hand on his shoulder. There was no more bleeding in his abdomen, leaving only a dark hole. He looked at the two of them with scarlet eyes: "Actually, I have wanted to change to another host body for a long time, but you have saved me a lot of trouble."
"What do you mean?" Song Yu was suppressed and unable to move. Of course, he didn't intend to move without the suppression of the White Walker King. After all, there was still a clone in his body that was constantly trying to seize control of his body.
If he hadn't been sure that the clone couldn't really destroy the spirit tree, he wouldn't have dared to come out and watch the battle. But even if you are watching the battle, you have to keep half of your attention on the clone, lest it forcefully run out and cause trouble. That would be really like being attacked from both sides.
"Yan Rui is very ambitious, but his ambition is not enough." The White Walker King looked at Jie Nanshi meaningfully: "He just wants to be subordinate to others and be a helper. But how can I... just do this? A—a person inferior to others?”
He deliberately emphasized the last four words, which shows his rejection of these four words in his heart. "I was born to soar above the nine heavens, without being bound by anyone!"
Song Yu was close, and when he turned around, he saw the disgust and rejection in his eyes: "You must have had a very high status in the original world. Let me guess, you turned out to be an emperor?"
The Strange Ghost King was obviously very interested in Song Yu's guess: "Yes, I am the only emperor in the world. Cooperate with me, and you can also ascend to that supreme position."
Song Yu raised his eyebrows, but did not doubt the other party's identity. After all, his obsession has reached a level that can be called perverted, and most people cannot imitate it, but...
"There are two of us. Is it possible that there can be two emperors in this world?"
Song Yu's question was obviously beyond the understanding of the White Walker King. He paused for a moment before answering: "I am interested in cooperating with the master of the Sword Pavilion, but I have no particular preference. No matter who you are, you can..."
"Wait a minute, if we ascend the throne together, can it be considered that one of us ascends to heaven?" Song Yu interrupted the White Walker King's contemplation: "And the one who cooperates with me is your clone. If your clone's status is higher in the future, You are so tall, can you possibly take advantage of the little Taoist priest and surrender to him?"
The White Walker King was obviously impatient: "Then let him be the emperor..."
"But he doesn't want to! Jiange is located outside the four cities and supervises the four cities, so why bother to work part-time as an emperor." Song Yu said in a more serious tone: "Just like even if you are an emperor, in your world you should There is also an existence that checks and balances the imperial power. It was also that existence that caused you to live in this world, am I right?"
