The Spirit World

Chapter 418: The truth? Or a trap?
It sounds strange, but Chang Yufeng had seen this pair of eyes before. That deep icy blue, coupled with the tiny light in the pupils that had turned into white dots, made them look indescribably weird no matter how you looked at them.

However, the owner of the eyes could not be seen clearly because of the backlight. Only a vague black shadow could be seen, or even just the eyes. But what was certain was that the owner of the eyes was indeed there, and was looking straight at him.

It was not a kind of horror that could be described as unclear. This silent gaze made everything around slow down.

For a moment, Chang Yufeng could be sure that a certain breath was slowly flowing from the window into this seemingly small room.

You can smell this scent through your nose at once. It is the fragrance of walking through flowers and being scented with wonderful pollen.

This certainly couldn't be the scent of a man, it was definitely the scent of someone who was looking at her through the small window.

This aroma cannot be said to be strong, but it is very refreshing. The floral scent is not intoxicating, but it is charming when it arrives, and bland when it does not.

Those eyes stared at him for a long time, and he also stared at those eyes for a long time. Chang Yufeng couldn't confirm whether it was Lan Luo, because Lan Luo's breath did not have the scent of flowers.

These eyes were staring at him without any emotion, without even blinking. No matter how he felt about these eyes before, they now made Yu Feng feel uneasy. He didn't need to ask why this was happening. He just needed to know that not moving was probably the best decision.

But standing there like this was not a solution. Chang Yufeng turned his head away. He thought, he couldn't just stare him to death like this... or shoot rays from his eyes to kill him?

Well, as long as there is no threat at the moment, it's fine to just watch. Even though this will prevent him from making the next attempt, he lowered his head, looking at those squirming silt-like sticky things, and using his own knowledge to confirm what the silt was made of. Looking carefully, those sticky liquids had many tiny bubbles, and were squirming layer by layer as if they had life. The strange thing was that there was no sound. Generally speaking, the more viscous and bubbly the liquid is, the more sound it will make, but this substance didn't make any sound. It just quietly rolled upward layer by layer, without any noise, and it was all black, and the bubbles didn't burst.

a kind……

Very scary thoughts arose in my mind.

Could this be an attempt to refine himself?

By the way, similar to alchemy, maybe there is a terrible flame outside this small room that is burning my spiritual power, or there is a device like the "Aquarius" that wants to turn me into pus...

Maybe these substances that attach to the body due to the stimulation of spiritual power are some people who are trapped in the "treasure bottle" like me! Others!
Thinking of this, his heart trembled. Although he didn't know how it worked, the possibility of this guess was extremely close to conjecture.

If that's the case, we must speed up our attempts to escape...

He raised his head suddenly, the chain made a creaking sound, and the pair of motionless eyes on the small window blinked naturally, as if they were startled by his sudden movement.

This little action made Chang Yufeng confused, but he didn't know how to express his doubts. Who was the owner of these eyes? Why was he always looking at him?

There was no communication. Chang Yufeng wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to ask. If he wanted to stay alive, or communicate with this person, he should have enough skills. No one knew which wrong words would make this person's "punishment" worse. It was already enough to make Chang Yufeng suffer, and he shouldn't talk nonsense.

But it still takes a little experimentation.

This is the only way to find a breakthrough.

"Who... are you?" Chang Yufeng spoke as softly as possible, and his Adam's apple made the chain around his neck ring.

Although this place is small, there is no echo.

"Lan Luo."

There was a voice answering, so the owner of these eyes was definitely Lan Luo.

Why is Lanluo here?
"Lan Luo...what do you want to do to me?"

Chang Yufeng had to relax his whole body when he spoke, so the words he spoke were frighteningly soft and slow enough to sound like a whisper.

"I want you to be on my side..."

what?
"I don't understand you……"

Chang Yufeng looked at the pair of eyes that had already confirmed their owner. If Lan Luo's eyes were placed on her pretty face, they would definitely be the eyes of a beauty. But now they were just glowing in the shadows, which was just creepy.

"The gods have also joined this dispute. Before resolving our issues, we must at least stand in the same direction, like we did in front of Sanqian, to face those annoying gods." Lan Luo said something that Chang Yufeng seemed to understand.

"They interfered between us, which broke the rules."

This doesn't seem like the crazy Lan Luo I met in Bailing Mountain...

Or, in other words, he is more like Lan Luo who confronted Xun Huangying in Talon's Young Xuanbing, although he was just as crazy when he found out that Xun Huangying had deceived him.

Lan Luo, may not be the kind of person with stable emotions. No, Demon King, there are quite a lot of humans like this. When they get angry, they don't care about their relatives, but when they calm down, it's unbelievable that they can be so impulsive.

Perhaps, Lan Luo also has a clone and no real self.

"rule……"

Chang Yufeng asked, he looked at those eyes and blinked slowly, this time it was like a blink of confirmation.

"It should be said that it is an unwritten rule that no third party should interfere in personal grudges. No matter how we resolve it, it should be decided by us, rather than allowing them to sow discord between us."

Lan Luo's voice came in through the small window and became a little strange. It was not the cold female bass, but a noisy sound, and the chirping of insects was still so familiar.

Before she saw the outside world, she could already imagine the graceful woman - if Lan Luo was not an enemy, he would definitely think so, after all, Lan Luo was indeed beautiful. Such a beautiful woman wandered through the flowers, and then she suddenly thought that she had imprisoned an "enemy". At this time, she looked through the small window and wanted to see what that person was doing now...

It is very likely that she has done this action countless times, repeating it. Her eyes were not full of affection, but by staring at him like this, she was afraid of missing a second of his waking up.

"God..."

Chang Yufeng's Adam's apple moved, and the chains still made noises.

"To sow discord..."

"If you must put it that way..." Lan Luo's voice also began to become lighter...

"The king... is indeed unforgivable... We all want to cut him into pieces..." Lan Luo blinked again, staring at Chang Yufeng with his icy blue eyes: "But the gods are indeed meddling in our affairs. We must find a way to use your power to deal with the gods..."

"You mean...you are doing this..." Chang Yufeng didn't dare to speed up his speech. He could feel the force of the chains: "You mean, you are chasing me like this, and then imprisoning me here like this, because you want me to...help you?"

"I'm not asking for help... I'm just asking, asking what you think. If the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit, and the fisherman must not be us..." Lan Luo said it clearly. This was not a request for help, but an inquiry. Although Chang Yufeng only had a vague understanding, he still understood it clearly.

He could also feel that there were many snobbish forces competing with each other... always trying to catch him and kill him...

It doesn't matter to him himself, but if possible, it would be better to have one less enemy.

Why not do it……

There may be more than just the crane and the clam fighting each other. If there are three, four is very likely. The only one I have direct contact with is the so-called enemy Xun Huangying. The others are probably hiding behind the scenes and no one knows who is the mastermind.

The gentleman is magnanimous, but the villain grows sorrowful.

"I don't want to accept it, but it looks like..." Chang Yufeng glanced at the chains on his body: "It seems... I have no choice..." "No, you have a choice... You are the king... You always have the right to choose..." Lan Luo blinked faster and faster, as if he had regained his normal senses, which made Chang Yufeng confused again.

These demon kings...

Each one is stranger than the other.

"I... am not a dragon..."

"You are the king..." Lan Luo's voice trembled a little.

"You are the king! You have been deceived by Xun Huangying! You are our king!"

Lan Luo began to get a little excited, which made everything she said more real.

"I... am just... a body with the same soul... If I were your king... I wouldn't be like this now..."

"No, I am trying to separate you from Xun Huangying, so that you will not be bound by him and find your own true power..."

Lan Luo's words were very convincing... Her tone was urgent, and then gentle, which made her words even more oppressive. Chang Yufeng was half-believing and half-doubting. This was how you had to listen to these people's words. One second they said they were the king, and the next second they imprisoned him here.

This pain is real, genuine. If you say that this is helping myself... then it is indeed possible. After all, my blood curse is here... and I have suffered a lot.

It’s okay to listen half and believe the other half.

"Then...how can I get rid of Xun Huangying's bondage?" Chang Yufeng continued to ask. He was eager to try. Although he couldn't say that he really believed it, it would be great if he could get rid of Xun Huangying's bondage.

Not to mention, this kind of pain is just accepting the pain...

"Give up Xun Huangying's power... be yourself... use your own strength to break out of this cage..." Lan Luo said it lightly, but how should he do it specifically?
What if you are deceiving yourself?

"This... I can't do it..." Chang Yufeng wanted to make a slight move, but the chains tightened up, making him unable to move.

Xun Huangying's power was repairing his body so that he wouldn't faint from the pain of the chains that pierced his bones. Even if it was that terrible sticky liquid, it would be too ridiculous to let him give up just because of a few words...

Or maybe, if Lan Luo thinks it’s okay, then that means she thinks it’s okay, without any more beating around the bush.

Even straight forward...

A muscle...

"You know... I don't know how to give up, and once I give up the power of Xun Huangying, there is no way I can leave here alive. As it is now, I have no reason to give up the power that can relieve my pain..."

Chang Yufeng spoke quickly and without being too excited, but at this point, he didn't know if Lan Luo understood what he said.

"That's all... I can't do what you said... But you can try to let me go... Because I am not controlled by Xun Huangying... I can still promise you to give up the fight between the two of us and prevent a third party from gaining greater benefits... I mean, the God..."

Chang Yufeng was like a wooden stake, unable to move or do anything. He listened carefully to Lan Luo's words. It didn't matter which of them were true or false. The most important thing now was to get rid of the current wooden man situation and it would be safer to consider other things later.

"I can't let you go..." Lan Luo seemed to know what Chang Yufeng was thinking and rejected his idea in an instant.

It was almost impossible to leave in front of Lan Luo, but there was no way Lan Luo would let him go...

Then this kind of confinement will seem even longer and more hopeless.

"There are ashes and fires under your feet. They can burn away the demonic power of Xunhuangying in your body... Of course, this is only temporary... Because as long as you are connected with Xunhuangying's power, the power in your body will be continuously transmitted to you, unless you cut off this connection yourself."

Chang Yufeng seemed to understand, but he couldn't nod. He just looked at the sticky liquid on the ground.

It’s incredible…

They were actually named "Fire".

This was not a good sign. Lan Luo seemed determined to regard himself as the "King", instead of Long Zhi or even Xun Huangying, and simply called himself "King"...

The King of Demons...

"This is difficult... I didn't connect with Xunhuangying's power unilaterally, I was passive... So, I don't know what to do..."

At present, Lan Luo's words are not convincing at all...

It doesn't matter, because Lanluo's erratic personality is actually very suspicious... and very naive...

Perhaps, one day, Lan Luo will be a child about the same age as Xun Huangying. His age is increasing, and his body is growing, but Xun Huangying and Lan Luo are not. It seems that they were like this thousands of years ago, and they will be like this thousands of years later.

Perhaps it’s because they have come into contact with too few people, or perhaps it’s because they have been imprisoned for too long... These so-called devil kings have long been unsuited to the "common sense" of the human world.

I don't even understand how to threaten someone, or coerce or bribe someone.

Although Chang Yufeng will not be threatened or bribed, we should at least try to let Chang Yufeng see something more valuable.

Just using words to make Chang Yufeng give up the power of Xun Huangying, let alone whether it is possible, just here, in this dark and tormenting cage, losing power means death...

What a simple truth...

Lan Luo, as the first great devil, does not understand...

Chang Yufeng doesn't care about his identity, he cares about what he should do and what he needs to do.

Instead, do nothing.

"You should try to believe me..."

Lan Luo's eyes became smaller, as if they were becoming gentler. Only a gentle person would soften his gaze like this.

"My king..."

According to my previous hint, you should have guessed that Lan Luo is Bingxue...

Snow can be soft and quiet, or it can be violent and invisible. This is a very stereotypical image.

Other volcanoes, deserts, oceans, etc. should also be stereotyped, with the most being different in the modification of words.

Please stay tuned!!! Thank you for your support!
