The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 107 Sacrifice, Apology

Having obtained the jade pendant, Ruan Xinrou was in high spirits. She planned to take advantage of the fact that the withered old man was unable to leave for a few days, and use the forbidden evil technique in conjunction with the two treasures to forcibly break through to the legendary realm.

Once he breaks through, he can not only easily remove the "demonization" aftereffects left on his body when he took the medicine to break through to the tenth level, but his status in the entire evil spirit master organization will also rise accordingly.

At that time, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly. Ruan Xinrou, with her strength alone, will have no fear of aging!
Thinking about it this way, she really hoped that she would have a few capable assistants by her side back then. Clearly, Zhang Yi was currently the most suitable candidate for that "assistant"!
"She actually has a way to revive Zhang Yi!?" Ruan Xinrou suddenly exclaimed in shock. If it weren't for the fact that the old man's cultivation was not bad, he probably would have already used evil magic to demonize Ruan Xinrou and then appeared to seize the jade pendant.

"Could it be that she is hiding some kind of treasure?" The withered old man was filled with doubt and surprise. He was already overjoyed, but he once again gave up his plan to make a move immediately.

"I don't regret falling in love with her! Even if there is an afterlife, I will still choose to fall in love with her!" As soon as he finished speaking, a pool of blood on the ground suddenly became bright, which made the withered old man frown.

"No—!" the beautiful woman exclaimed. Before she could react, Zhang Yi suddenly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the crowd.

Then, a beam of red light pierced through the bloodstains, shining upon Sun Yuyang like an insurmountable wall of bronze and iron.

"A lifelong bond of love, a sacrifice of flesh and blood! Leaving me all alone..." Sun Yuyang wept bitterly, collapsing onto the stone floor. "Could you really do such a thing!?"

Zhang Yi is dead! For the one he loved...

He used the most straightforward actions to tell Ruan Xinrou the answer, while also defending his original intention of being persistent in love.

"Damn it! Sun Yuyang, go to hell!" The alluring red light wall blocked everything. No matter how frantically Ruan Xinrou rushed forward to fight, she could not shake this fortress, which was "obtained at the cost of a tenth-level expert's life."

"Whoosh!" Apart from his own crying, the surrounding sounds became eerily quiet. Then, a voice came from afar, sometimes unfamiliar, sometimes familiar.

"Yu Yang, don't be sad for me. It's all my own fault! As long as you can live well, go to the underworld, and see your godfather, it will be my last chance to atone for my sins!"

The voice stopped abruptly. After hearing the other party's candid confession, Sun Yuyang was even more distressed and regretted her past actions. She murmured to herself, "Why didn't I tell you what I knew about the whereabouts of the Flame Dragon Fire Crystal Stone sooner?"
Even if he had only mentioned it briefly, Zhang Yi wouldn't easily believe others' enticements, and his father certainly wouldn't perish halfway through his breakthrough to legendary status!

It can be terrifying when a woman starts to overthink things, just like Sun Yuyang at this moment, who placed all the heavy responsibility for this tragedy on her own shoulders.

……

"Hmm!? There's actually a hidden cellar here?" After half a day of struggling, the man in purple finally managed to clear the blocked stone cave and, following the clues left on the floor of the hidden chamber, found the end.

"Not good! A powerful figure is approaching this way!" Without caring about anything else, the top of the enclosed space twisted and exploded. In the thick, billowing black smoke, a small figure in black robes, holding a scepter, suddenly rushed towards the somewhat crazed Ruan Xinrou.

Meanwhile... "What a... cunning old fox!" As soon as Feng Ling entered the cellar, he was attacked by a group of black crows. Although he easily wiped them all out, they had already noticed his arrival!

He had already been very vigilant, but little did he know that the old man was so careful that he had left "Black Crow Magic" in the cellar as spies. As long as there was airflow coming in from above, no matter if anyone showed themselves, those guys would rush up in one go.

It can be said that it is impossible to guard against!

"Xinrou, give me the things!" As expected of a legendary expert from the older generation, while moving quickly, Kugu Bai only took a few seconds to restore his body to the size of a normal person.

In the center of the venue, besides the red warm air and the white cold air, there was also a strange black aura. Even more strangely, an old man in black robes was quickly walking out from it.

"Godfather...!? What are you doing here?" The two women were surprised when they saw who it was.

Ruan Xinrou was surprised by the old man's supernatural abilities and that her disrespectful words and actions had been discovered by him, while Sun Yuyang was surprised to find a familiar feeling in the old man, as if they had met before.

"Enough with the nonsense! If you know what's good for you, hand over the jade pendant within three breaths, and I'll pretend nothing happened!" The withered old man waved his embroidered robe impatiently.

"Haha, what if I don't give it to her?" With a flicker of her beautiful eyes, Ruan Xinrou, knowing that the other party would be wary of the power behind her, steeled her heart, gripped the jade pendant tightly, and decided to tear off the mask and grit her teeth to say it.

"You're asking for death!" Before the words were finished, a loud bang rang out, the beautiful woman's pupils shrank, and she let out a terrified scream. Then, her wrist went numb, and she flew backward, spitting out blood.

"Master, spare me! Xinrou was confused for a moment...!" Realizing that the other party really intended to kill her, Ruan Xinrou immediately suppressed her injuries and knelt on one knee on the broken ground.

"This Ghost Stone is something I stole from the clan's treasure vault. Consider it an apology... I hope my godfather will accept it!" With that, the beautiful woman took out a fist-sized black stone from her bosom and reluctantly tossed it to the spot where she had been standing.

"Hmph, they really won't listen to reason, so they'll suffer the consequences!" The withered old man took the stone, which still retained a trace of warmth from his body, and examined it carefully. He saw that it was glowing with an eerie light and occasionally revealed chilling energy fluctuations. He was secretly delighted and thought to himself, "It's undoubtedly the Ghost Stone!"

"This time, I'll spare your life for now!" Countless thoughts flashed through the old man's mind. Considering the powerful force behind the beautiful woman, he still refrained from killing her.

In this chaotic world, although it is common for thieves to double-cross each other, Ku Lao also knows that there must be a limit. He cannot go too far, otherwise he may not be able to survive.

Of course, compared to the evil spirit master organization, Ruan Xinrou's backing is indeed nothing. But if Ku Lao wants to offend him, he has to weigh his own weight in the evil spirit master organization first!

"So you are the murderer who framed my father... Bai Wu!?" Staring at the black-robed old man with his back to her, absentmindedly playing with the jade pendant and the Ghost Stone, the pretty woman's red eyes were filled with deep fear.
