The figure standing with his hands behind his back looked quite familiar and approachable.

"The outcome of this war is already decided. You and I have both lost. I will be unable to protect this beautiful land, and you will completely lose the possibility of returning to the immortal realm."

All the countless sins of killing have been concentrated on you alone. Your sins are immeasurable, and you can no longer return to the divine position of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Was it worth it? He dedicated himself to the immortal realm, only to be betrayed and unable to return home.

The man's first words were a cutting taunt, and Jiang Linglong felt her anger rising, making her want to bite him.

But she didn't rush to make a move. Instead, she retorted, "If you invited me here just to humiliate me, then you've achieved your goal."

"I'm not humiliating you, I'm just giving you a choice."

The person turned around, but their face was still blurry.

But Jiang Linglong had already guessed who he was.

In her dream, she could only make out one person's face, and that was King Zhou.

Jiang Linglong remembered her identity as the chief strategist in the campaign against King Zhou, a position second only to King Wu.

Given his status, why would he meet with King Zhou in private?

Besides, don't they have a blood feud?

How come they seem to get along quite well?

Although there was a slight argument, given their relationship, the fact that they didn't come to blows upon meeting was already a sign of harmony.

Jiang Linglong had a strong premonition that she had missed watching a season while climbing the mountain.

It jumps directly from the beginning of the war to its end.

There was absolutely no process.

Jiang Linglong was confused, but then she saw the man whose face she couldn't see take out a crimson sword.

This is the Demon-Slaying Sword!

"In this war, the human world has exhausted its resources. Even if we win, the human world will be powerless to fight against the demon realm. Therefore, I must lose."

Jiang Linglong was startled. She had known the legend for a long time, but at this moment she saw the unknown inside story.

King Zhou wasn't without a chance to win; he chose to lose.

Since he had already foreseen his defeat, wouldn't he have left some backup plans?

What do you want me to do?

"Help me save her and change her name! In exchange, you can drink my blood, enough to suppress your curse. After drinking my blood, even if you lose control, you won't drink anyone else's blood."

"A transaction? Is there only a transaction between us?"

Jiang Linglong suddenly felt a pang of sadness, which must be an emotion from her past life. She felt as if she had discovered something, but she couldn't remember it.

"This is a transaction, but it's more than just a transaction. I've placed all my hopes for the future in your hands."

As long as you overcome the curse, there is still a chance to win.

As he spoke, the man, whose face was not visible, slashed his wrist.

Even in a dream, the sweet scent felt incredibly real, as if there were actually a mouthful of blood right in front of me.

In her dream, Jiang Linglong was also trapped by the curse. When she smelled the sweet blood, she could no longer restrain herself and bit the man's wrist.

The sensation of sucking felt very real, with warm currents flowing over the lips and down the throat.

In a daze, the white mist seemed to be slowly dissipating.

Jiang Linglong suddenly opened her eyes and saw the face of the man whose face she had never been able to see before.

He looked exactly like Lin Yi.

"The day the old sword is reforged will be the day the goddess returns..."

In her confusion, she seemed to hear a soft murmur.

Jiang Linglong opened her eyes and immediately tasted the metallic sweetness in her mouth. She was indeed sucking blood; Lin Yi's wrist was inside her mouth.

Lin Yi's face was somewhat pale at this moment, but he still smiled when he saw that she had regained her senses.

For a moment, Jiang Linglong couldn't tell whether what she saw in her dream was real or not.

She quickly let go of her mouth, no longer daring to suck.

How are you?

Jiang Linglong quickly hugged Lin Yi, and feeling that Lin Yi's body was a little cold, she quickly used her own body to warm him up.

"I'm fine. It's good that you're awake. Next time you need help, don't try to tough it out. Just come to me."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

This time, Jiang Linglong sucked Lin Yi's blood for half an hour... If it weren't for her medicine keeping him alive, Lin Yi might have been completely drained.

Jiang Linglong didn't know how much she had absorbed, but she clearly felt her power had increased significantly, and the power she could control was much stronger...

Chapter 496 Immobilization Spell

Lin Yi was faking his illness before, but now he is genuinely sick.

Even with his strong physical body, after being sucked in by Jiang Linglong, he felt that he was only a hair's breadth away from dying on the spot.

There was no need for him to tell Jiang Linglong about this. After all, he wasn't dead yet. With some tonics, he should be able to recover his strength in a couple of days.

Since True Lords like Chixia are all dead, Venerable Miaofa shouldn't be coming after us again!

As Lin Yi was thinking this, he suddenly felt the Crystal Palace shake, as if someone had given it a huge bag.

Good heavens, am I just going to make my words come true?

Lin Yi couldn't help but criticize himself, and he wondered to himself how it could be so effective.

He quickly gulped down Lan Yu's tonic, his complexion became slightly rosier, and then he left the Dragon King's Palace.

When the enemy comes knocking, as the man and the strongest member of the family, he should naturally be at the forefront.

"Slay the demon!"

At Lin Yi's command, the Demon-Slaying Sword flew into Lin Yi's hand in a flash.

The sword was quite obedient, so Lin Yi decided he wouldn't be harsh with it anymore.

With the Demon-Slaying Sword in hand, Lin Yi felt more confident.

The Ruyi Jewel flew to Lin Yi's left side, as if Lin Yi had made a ball out with his bare hands. In reality, the Ruyi Jewel was healing Lin Yi's injuries.

The greatest characteristic of the Ruyi Jewel lies not in its attack, defense, and control, but in its extremely strong functionality.

It can do anything, and for the time being, no one has reached the limit of the Wish-Fulfilling Pearl.

Lin Yi has not yet used the Ruyi Pearl at full power, and does not know where its limits are.

Outside the Crystal Palace, the Venerable Master Miaofa was still causing chaos and turmoil.

Beside her, the two True Lords, Orange Light and Green Ivy, were in high spirits, showing no trace of the disheveled state they had been in when Lin Yi had chased them away not long ago.

This is also a case of the fox borrowing the tiger's power.

They both look energetic now, but they were just scolded like dogs by Venerable Miaofa not long ago.

The Venerable Master Miaofa had already planned everything, just waiting for the full moon to pass before crushing Jiang Linglong under his feet once again.

Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared among her subordinates, and the others, in an attempt to downplay the incident, acted on their own initiative.

That would have been fine; with five True Lords attacking the Crystal Palace, victory seemed inevitable. But it turned out that Lin Yi was faking illness.

Her prized curse spell failed to work.

But even if the curse didn't work, can't the five of you True Lords beat one of them?

Not only did they lose, but three of them were killed in the process.

Of course, after Orange Light returned, Venerable Miaofa also learned what had happened. It turned out that Green Ivy had not joined the battle in the first place.

Otherwise, with the combined strength of the five True Monarchs and the Great Five Elements Formation, even if Lin Yi were a protector, he would not be a match for them.

As a result, Green Ivy, the sixth one, ran away when she saw that things were not going well.

Orange Light, too, used its supernatural abilities to quickly escape.

After Orange Light and Green Ivy met, they almost got into a fight, which is when Venerable Miaofa learned the whole story.

She was so angry she almost killed the two guys outright.

Each one was more infuriating than the last, but what was even more infuriating was that Venerable Miaofa felt humiliated by Lin Yi.

He wasn't cursed, yet he feigned illness and fooled her. Wasn't that like slapping her in the face repeatedly?

Can this be tolerated?

The Venerable Master Miaofa immediately decided that she would continue on the night of the full moon!

He's just a protector of the Way!

What's the panic? As long as she's there, Lin Yi is nothing to worry about.

When Cheng Guang escaped, Chi Xia and Huang Hun were still alive, and Lin Yi had not yet discovered the special nature of the Demon-Slaying Sword. Therefore, the current Venerable Miao Fa is unaware that Lin Yi already possesses a peerless and deadly sword that drinks the blood of immortals.

This is because although these immortals and gods had heard of the legendary sword, they did not know its specific appearance, only that it was a large, crimson sword.

However, the Demon-Slaying Sword is not the only crimson greatsword in the world. It is normal that it was not recognized before the Demon-Slaying Sword revealed its power.

If Venerable Miaofa knew that Lin Yi possessed the Demon-Slaying Sword, she probably wouldn't dare to come knocking on his door. She was planning to take advantage of this time to further provoke Jiang Linglong and drive her completely mad.

At that point, Jiang Linglong will become an asset to her and a source of trouble for Lin Yi.

On the night of the full moon, Jiang Linglong's curse will have amplified in power. Moreover, on the night of the full moon, the sealing effect on Jiang Linglong will weaken.

With the guidance she had given her a few days ago, Jiang Linglong's past memories would gradually surface. Her mind would be drawn by these memories, making it impossible for her to suppress the raging curse within her.

The plan was still perfect, and Venerable Miaofa was certain that tonight she would be able to crush the once high and mighty being under her feet.

If it were just about defeating Jiang Linglong, she could have done it long ago.

What she wanted to trample on was Jiang Linglong in her complete form, not a blank sheet of paper without any past memories.
