Then, as if he had forgotten how to speak with his throat, the Demon King stared at Lin Lan with an extremely awkward voice, questioning him, and spoke word by word:
"You...are...Lin...Lan?"
"Impossible...Hiru Yuki...said...Blue Star..."
"Ah, I...I am..."
The Demon King's voice was becoming increasingly confused, as if he was in intense chaos. He covered his head with both hands and showed a painful expression.
But her words made Lin Lan's pupils shrink sharply, and she even gasped.
Why does this demon king who has been sealed for a thousand years know his name?
Just now when he was reminiscing about the past with Yunxian, he didn't mention his name.
and many more!
Lin Lan suddenly remembered something that made him terrified when he thought about it carefully.
On his way back to Liaozhou from Oran, Musashi had a conversation with Shinano in a dream.
And Musashi told him that Shinano traced back a thousand years ago in the dream of Yuki who had lost her memory, and he also heard his name in Yuki's memory!
At this moment, he actually heard his name again from the devil's mouth. This was definitely not a coincidence.
What exactly is going on?

But before Lin Lan had time to think carefully, the large sword in Yun Xian's hand was completely unsheathed.
In an instant, sharp sword energy with cold light surrounded him and Yun Xian.
At the same time, dozens of blue butterflies, some even tinged with purple, were flapping their wings and slowly emerging from the sword energy.
"Commander, Yunxian has heard that some curses can be cast as long as the name of the cursed person is known. Please be extremely careful."
The airflow brought about by the sword energy lifted the long hair and clothes of the great sage of Sakura Empire. After hearing Yun Xian's words, Lin Lan nodded seriously.
Yunxian was right, when he faced Abbott in Lihu County, he was dragged into the spiritual world by a similar strange ability.
The Demon King was obviously more terrifying than Abbott, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with Yunxian reminding him to stay alert.
Fortunately, the demon girl's confusion did not last long. After only two or three minutes, her almost crazy expression gradually returned to normal.
The confusion in her eyes gradually faded away, and instead she looked at her body in surprise after the black scales and bone armor had been shed.
Lin Lan knew that he still had to get answers to his questions from the devil.
So he cleared his throat, and through the barrier of sword energy and butterflies summoned by Yunxian, he tried to speak to the Demon King:
"Um, do you still remember who you are now?"
After hearing his voice, the white-haired girl finally seemed to come to her senses and looked at him again.
"Who am I, who am I?"
After a long silence, Lin Lan and Yun Xian finally heard the voice of the white-haired girl in front of them, which was filled with endless self-mockery and guilt.
"I was supposed to be the Lord of the Ten Islands, taking over the responsibility bestowed by the gods and using my life to protect the people of the Ten Islands of Liaozhou."
"But what exactly did I protect?"
"What did I...do back then...wu, wuah..."
Halfway through her speech, the white-haired girl had already put her hands on her face, knelt on the ground, and broke down and cried heartbreakingly.
But these few words she said before she broke down and cried had already caused a huge uproar in Lin Lan's heart.
Yun Xian frowned slightly, looked at Lin Lan, and asked in a low voice what she was wondering:
"Commander, if the intelligence gathered by the Sakura Empire is correct, there should only be nine main islands in this country called Liaozhou?"
That’s right, the reason why Lin Lan was shocked was exactly the question Yun Xian asked him.
Ever since he traveled to the United States of Oran, all the records about Liaozhou in Oran stated with certainty that Liaozhou had only nine main islands.
And now the master of Liaozhou, the co-lord of the Nine Islands, Hui'an Dasi, and the official force of Liaozhou, the Nine Islands Alliance, have all proved that Liaozhou has only nine main islands.
Moreover, when he first awakened the brave skill bar in the Iron Blood Camp, the memory that was inserted into his mind was that the old voice used the Nine Islands of Liaozhou to describe the ancient Liaozhou a thousand years ago.
Lin Lan sorted out his thoughts and recalled the names of all the main islands of the Nine Islands of Liaozhou.
Except for Zhuren Island, Inaba Island, Yuze Island and Yanrong Island which are controlled by Tianou Group, the other main islands are:
Shouzhou
There are three islands, namely, the Ghost Island, the Weiguang Island, the Gaotian Island, the Changyuan Island, and the most mysterious Holy Island of the Ghost Clan which has never been open to outsiders - the Horned Ghost Island.
The Demon King actually claimed that he was once the ruler of ten islands. Where did this tenth main island come from?
"It seems that after the catastrophe of the Demon King's army a thousand years ago, a lot of truth in Liaozhou's history was erased."
Lin Lan looked at the crying Demon King and answered Yun Xian softly.
He vaguely sensed a conspiracy:
"If Liaozhou really had ten main islands a thousand years ago, then even if that main island sank, it would not disappear so completely in Liaozhou's history."
"Someone must have deliberately erased that history."
"And she just said that she was once the leader who should protect the people of Liaozhou, but in fact she became the Demon King. It is very likely..."
"She was one of the first people from Liaozhou to be contaminated and controlled by the mysterious enemy X."
Lin Lan thought about it and told Yun Xian his thoughts.
After listening to his reasoning, Yunxian nodded in agreement.
After all, she didn't have as much information as the commander, and she couldn't find any fault with Lin Lan's well-reasoned reasoning.
But Yunxian was secretly frightened.
Because if it is true as the commander said, someone deliberately erased this history, then who would that person be?
In addition to the sealed Demon King's army, is there anyone else in Liaozhou who has been contaminated and controlled by the mysterious enemy X?
Enemies hiding in the dark pose a far greater threat than those in the open.
What Lin Lan has not yet told Yun Xian is that he seriously suspects that the discontinuity of the ancient Liaozhou civilization was probably a plot set up by the person who erased the history of a thousand years ago.
He and Akagi had already seen the demon king's army monsters that were captured by the Sirens and completely corroded by X-energy in the Siren Fortress.
Even the Siren was so cautious when fighting against the Demon King's army whose soldiers spread pollution after their death, let alone Liaozhou who can't even compete with the Tianou Group now.
After his throat became hoarse from crying, the Demon King finally stopped crying due to exhaustion.
The Demon King stopped crying and stood up shakily. To Lin Lan and Yun Xian's surprise, he leaned towards them and bowed deeply to apologize.
"Please forgive my gaffe just now... I am the sinner of Liaozhou, Shen Lianying."
"I never thought that after forgetting the mission given by God and becoming a minion of the evil, I would still have the opportunity to break free from the control of the evil and get my body back one day."
It was not until this time that Lin Lan finally knew the Demon King's name through his hoarse voice.
The evil spirit that the girl named Kamirei Sakura was talking about was, of course, the energy of the mysterious enemy X.
He breathed a long sigh of relief. The demon king had finally regained his sanity and he could communicate and negotiate with him.
However, he was still in no hurry to ask Yun Xian to remove the barrier created by the sword energy and the blue butterfly. Instead, he looked at the Demon King and asked calmly:
"Shinren Sakura, how do you know my name?"
After hearing his words, Shen Lianying straightened up.
The demon king folded up the white bone wings behind him, and his eyes, which were bloodshot due to his crying just now, were fixed on him.
The white-haired girl looked at him carefully, as if she was confirming something.
"You...are really Lin Lan? You can use the power of the goddess just like Yuki, and you have become a hero...but what about Yuki?"
Lin Lan's mouth twitched. It was obviously he who asked the question first, but Shen Lianying in front of him asked him more questions instead.
"Ah, sorry!"
Shen Lianying noticed that the purple eyes of the guard next to Lin Lan, who was holding a large sword and was more beautiful than any woman she had ever seen, revealed a bit of dissatisfaction and realized her impoliteness.
"Hiru Yuki defeated me who was once controlled by the evil spirit. Before I was taken away and sealed, I briefly regained my sanity. When I talked to her, I heard her mention this name."
"I thought this was someone she valued, so I wrote down the name."
Shen Lianying briefly explained to Lin Lan and Yun Xian how she knew this name.
And Lin Lan could finally be sure that the girl named Shen Lianying was the real demon king from a thousand years ago.
But beyond that, he was filled with even greater doubts.
Didn't Yuki defeat the Demon King? According to what Kamirei Sakura said, she and Yuki have a good relationship?
So he continued to ask:
"Do you remember this name so that you can take revenge on me after escaping the seal?"
"No, how is this possible?"
Faced with his questioning, Shen Lianying immediately showed a panicked look and quickly shook her head to deny it.
And what Shen Lianying said next made him and Yunxian stunned at the same time.
"I really, really, really appreciate it, Yuki."
"If she had not sealed me who was controlled by the evil spirit, but had chosen to kill me... not only the Ten Islands of Liaozhou, but this world would have been completely destroyed by the evil spirit."

Chapter 684: You actually married hundreds of warships transformed into humans? (2800 words)
But before Shen Lianying could continue, Yunxian seemed to understand what was going on and spoke first:
"What you are referring to must be the high concentration of polluted energy in your body that spread over a large area after your death."
The great sage of the Sakura Empire stared at Shen Lianying who looked surprised, and Lin Lan could tell from Shen Lianying's shocked expression that Yun Xian was probably right.
He had seen before that after the Demon King's soldiers died, a large amount of black wriggling matter would leak out from around their bodies.
Since Shen Lianying is the Demon King, the concentration of X pollutants in her body is definitely the most exaggerated among the Demon King's army.
Perhaps, the reason why Kamirei Sakura and the four commanders of the Demon King's army represented by Abbott were not killed by Yuki was because Yuki discovered this horrifying fact.
"Yes, you are absolutely right..."
Shen Lianying nodded respectfully to Yunxian, her eyes full of guilt, and continued with gritted teeth:
"The evil spirit injected an extremely powerful amount of filthy energy into my body when I was the co-lord of the Ten Islands. If I die, the pollution of this energy will surely cover the entire Liaozhou."
"Even... another country guided by God on the other side of the ocean will be contaminated as well."
Lin Lan was shocked to hear Shen Lianying's words.
Because he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary:
"Wait! That other country that is guided by the gods you mentioned... isn't it called the Teaching Nation of Saint Lothalon?"
"…It was called something like the Teaching Nation. Sorry, I can't remember it clearly."
Shen Lianying covered her head, as if trying her best to recall, but in the end she could only say:
"Those foreigners claimed that they were guided by the gods and went through hardships to come to Liaozhou. They never returned, so I am not sure if their country is called this name."
"But I remember that although their living habits are different from ours, some of them can also pray for blessings from the gods, so I agreed to let them build churches on the islands."
Well, after hearing the word "church", Lin Lan was certain that the country on the other side of the ocean that the demon king mentioned was definitely the Church of Saint Lothal.
The historical records of the United States of Oran only say that the influence of the Church of England was discovered when they first arrived in Liaozhou.
However, it was several decades after Oran discovered Liaozhou that the fleet of the Teaching Country actually arrived at the Nine Islands of Liaozhou.
Now that he had obtained the information from Shen Lianying, he could infer that the people of the Teaching Country might have accidentally come to Liaozhou across the ocean a thousand years ago.
However, due to the limitations of shipbuilding technology, the people of the Teaching Country were unable to return to their homeland, so they settled down in Liaozhou.
This also explains why the Teaching Nation actually discovered Liaozhou much later than the United States of Orlan.
