I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Huang Quan didn't quite understand either; he just clearly understood everything, so he dared to admit that he was who he was.

Ultimately, he simply accepted the past and then let it go.

In contrast, the sect leader did not have one.

He clung to the past he shouldn't have, failing to see himself as the sect leader.

Of course, the sect leader himself has also suffered a lot of hardships. The calamity of the Yellow lineage and the death of the Heaven-Eating Clan all weighed heavily on him as the sect leader and young clan leader. So even if his will is firm, there are times when he cannot see things clearly and feels confused.

However, the moment that confusion appeared was also the moment when the cultivation avatar of the Heavenly True God awakened. Therefore, the combination of the two resulted in this sect master who was not the sect master, and a cultivation avatar who was not a cultivation avatar.

Now, having been pointed out by someone who shares a similar fate but clearly understands the impending doom of his life, this contradictory individual will naturally undergo some changes.

In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted from the sect leader's mouth, and his expression darkened.

This gloom did not arise from the Yellow Springs, but from his own confusion.

Just as he said at the beginning, it was a delusion!

He doesn't want to let go of the past, but he can't bear it either, so this is wishful thinking.

He wanted to find balance in Huang Quan, but the other party had already let go of the past, so this... was just wishful thinking.

Therefore, Huang Quan won this battle, which was almost a psychological war, with virtually no doubt.

However, it was not the sect leader who was defeated, but the sect leader's consciousness that had merged with his past and present.

Huang Quan understood this.

At this moment, behind the sect leader, there seemed to be a figure that looked the same as him but was different from his current consciousness, faintly appearing as if he were asleep.

Huang Quan's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he took a step forward and immediately arrived beside the sect leader, who was slightly dazed. Then, he stretched out his left hand, put two fingers together, and directly touched the sect leader's forehead.

"Ah!!!" Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the sect leader's mouth, and an extremely painful feeling instantly filled his mind!

"Stop!!" the sect leader shouted, but Huang Quan remained unmoved, seemingly ignoring him.

"Wake up, Sect Master!!"

Suddenly, with Huang Quan's loud shout, two strange forces instantly flowed from his body through his two fingers into the sect leader's body.

This first strange power is a seal!

He fused the already devastating power of ice with evil energy, creating a powerful binding force that suppressed all of the sect leader's memories and consciousness outside of this life, ultimately sealing them within the sect leader's mind!

The other force is awakening!

Using his spiritual power, he resolutely combined his own memories with the sect leader's memories from this life.

This is a kind of traction.

In the blink of an eye, the instant Huang Quan finished doing all this, countless fragments of memory suddenly appeared in the Sect Master's mind, like a movie playing in his eyes!

The sect leader saw it!

The scene of his birth!

The scene of his first foray into cultivation!

The scene of him struggling desperately after his cultivation clone awakened!

In the end, his memory was frozen on the moment when Huang Quan's finger fell!

These are his memories from his entire life. Nothing else, nothing superfluous. He is simply himself!

Finally, Huang Quan withdrew his left hand...

In an instant, the sect leader seemed to relive this life, from birth to the present. However, the sheer volume of information was overwhelming, and he fainted.

Thanks to Huang Quan's help, he will not remember the other consciousness for the time being, but Huang Quan does not know what the final outcome will be.

He can only rely on himself for the rest of his life!

At this moment, Huang Quan gently helped the sect leader up from the ground, but just then, two streaks of light suddenly pierced the sky and landed directly in front of Huang Quan.

Huang Quan took a closer look and realized that it was Liu Xin and the nameless expert who had returned from the Imperial Demon Domain long ago.

As for why they appeared, Huang Quan understood after a moment's thought.

The plains where he was located were not far from the location of Phoenix Valley, and given the commotion he had caused earlier, it was not surprising that he was discovered.

"He can be left to me!" After a moment of contemplation, the nameless expert spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan glanced at them, then at the sect leader, and without much hesitation, handed the sect leader over to the nameless expert.

After finishing all this, Huang Quan didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

"Was the power fluctuation just now caused by you and him?" Liu Xin asked suddenly, staring at Huang Quan's retreating figure.

Huang Quan paused, then replied, "It's not me and the current him, it's me and another him."

After saying this nonsensical sentence, he moved and disappeared from their sight.

Looking at the spot where Huang Quan disappeared, Liu Xin remained silent for a long time.

Everything has changed.

Liu Xin is no longer the Liu Xin of the past, and Huang Quan is no longer the Huang Quan of the past; a distance has grown between them.

Not only him and her, but also Tianzi, Huang Xiang, and everyone else connected to Huang Quan, all felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Of course, Huang Quan was well aware of this, and he didn't want to feel this sense of unfamiliarity. However, as the Lord of True Profound Realm and the leader of the True Profound Alliance, he needed this sense of unfamiliarity.

"High and lonely," the "lonely" here refers to solitude.

Huang Quan has always been lonely. Although he has been accompanied by people along the way, this companionship has not given him a sense of reality. It is like a mirage, making it impossible for him to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Peak, cold wind, two people.

"In this life, a person is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies. The life of a cultivator is one of loneliness. Do you remember me telling you that you once wrote a poem?" The woman in purple looked at Huang Quan and said.

"I have a vague recollection of it..." Huang Quan looked down at the True Profound Continent below the peak and, recalling the past, replied softly.

"...This is actually your life," the woman in purple said with a touch of emotion.

"Life? Heh..." Huang Quan suddenly laughed, "Perhaps, then what about your life?"

"It's better if you don't ask me these questions, because... I don't know either," the woman in purple said.

"You don't understand either?" Huang Quan asked in surprise.

"Is it strange? But you shouldn't be. So the only one who can truly understand is you," the woman in purple said realistically.

"Uh? This..." Huang Quan was speechless, his mind racing, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't answer the woman in purple.

A little while later...

At this moment, the woman in purple also realized what was happening. She looked at Huang Quan very carefully, as if trying to see something different about him.

"Uh... what do you want to do?" Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced back at the woman in purple. Then he asked somewhat shyly. It seemed that the woman in purple's unrestrained gaze really made Huang Quan a little embarrassed.

The woman in purple did not respond to him immediately. She remained silent for a long time and stared at Huang Quan for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to see if you are really talented."

"What?" Huang Quan was dumbfounded.

"Alright! That's all for today! I'm still not entirely sure about the whereabouts of the last memory clone, so you'll have to find it yourself. But I can give you a hint..."

When the conversation turned to business, Huang Quan stopped dwelling on whether someone was a poet or not. His eyes flickered, and he asked seriously, "What hint?"

"The memory clone might be not far from you," the woman in purple replied.

"Not far from me?" Huang Quan frowned, clearly puzzled.

“That’s right. I only know this much from the cause and effect. If I were to calculate further, it would affect the cause and effect between you and me, so… I can’t help you anymore,” the woman in purple said calmly.

"Oh, I see! Never mind then! If I can't help, I can't help! But speaking of which, you still haven't answered me. Why did you want to help me?" For some unknown reason, Huang Quan asked this question that left the woman in purple somewhat speechless.

The woman in purple remained silent, as silent as ever.

But unlike last time, this time she finally spoke, but gave an answer that wasn't really an answer.

"I'd love to! I want to! Just like how you sometimes help people or plants without a reason, understand?"

Chapter 243 The Player

Huang Quan was a little confused, but he also seemed to understand something.

He didn't think this was the purple-clad woman's helpless remark. On the contrary, he felt that the answer lay in this, so with a slight shift in his gaze, he gradually fell into deep thought, as if trying to find the answer.

Seeing Huang Quan like this, the woman in purple felt a little emotional, but unfortunately... her time was up.

"Go back by yourself! Don't worry! This time... no one will plot against you." The woman in purple said quickly, as if afraid that Huang Quan would discover something. In the blink of an eye, she moved her delicate body and directly merged into the void.

By the time Huang Quan realized what had happened, she had already completely vanished without a trace.

"Tsk tsk, they walk really fast." Huang Quan seemed to subconsciously make a comment, but after the comment, he revealed a smile.

But at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that this woman... was his true enemy.

……

On the other hand, Huang Zhan, who was leading the third vanguard team, thought he had reached the point of utter frustration because his attack on the city had been extremely unlucky. He had been ambushed as soon as he arrived and was surrounded by more than a dozen cultivators at the Zhouyou Realm.

Even if there were a dozen or so cultivators at the Traveling Realm, it wouldn't have been much of a threat to their vanguard team. However, they never expected that there would be seven or eight Transformation Realm cultivators behind the Traveling Realm cultivators.

That wouldn't have been so bad; they could fight seven or eight Transcendent Realm experts. But at the very back of these Transcendent Realm experts, there were three more Heavenly Monarch Realm experts, which plunged their vanguard team into a fierce battle.

However, for them, a bitter battle was just a bitter battle; they might not necessarily lose, and there was even a possibility of winning. However, what was despairing was that Wan Feng and Jue Yi, two of the top combat forces of the True Profound Continent, decisively chose to make their move.

This is quite bad; it's as if everything has been orchestrated.

Huang Zhan lost without any suspense, and lost miserably. He didn't know why he lost, nor did he know how the people of the Desolate Region knew about his actions. He was bewildered and confused...

At the last moment, he sent a distress signal to the second forward team, but unfortunately, the second forward team did not come, as if they had not seen his distress signal, until his third forward team was wiped out.

He didn't want to be taken prisoner; this was his duty, so he chose to self-destruct.

However, the people of the True Profound Continent did not allow him to do so, because they could see that Huang Zhan was different from ordinary soldiers, and they could definitely obtain important information from him, so Zhu Xinlan took action.

The Bamboo Sky Clan possesses a technique called the Soul-Locking Technique, which can imprison all of a cultivator's thoughts and actions.

Therefore, when Huang Zhan was defeated, seriously injured, and about to self-destruct, Zhu Xinlan did not hesitate to use the Soul-Locking Technique to seal Huang Zhan's thoughts and actions, forcing him to surrender.

Of course, the moment Huang Zhan was arrested, Huang Sheng, far away in the Endless Wasteland, sensed it all, which made him extremely unhappy, and he lost his temper for the first time in a real sense.

"The second and third vanguard teams were completely wiped out. Where exactly did things go wrong?" In a pitch-black room, Huang Sheng sat on a black stone chair and murmured in a very low voice.
