Chapter 14887 Then Unlock the Treasure
At this moment, Xiao Lianzhu snapped out of her thoughts, her tone becoming serious again, and continued:
"However, Elder Hong was not entirely indifferent. He knew clearly that if the wronged souls and evil spirits of this place were allowed to break through the seal and escape from hell, the human world would surely suffer a catastrophic catastrophe."
"Especially the Black Death King, this man is ambitious and harbors deep resentment. Once he is completely freed, he will surely unleash a bloodbath, plunging the world into chaos and causing countless lives to be lost."
Ling Xiao raised his eyes, a hint of doubt and confusion flashing in them, and asked in a deep voice:
"If that's the case, why doesn't Elder Hong just take action and kill the Black Death King to end the trouble once and for all and eliminate any future problems?"
"With his abilities, this is nothing more than a piece of cake for him."
Xiao Lianzhu's expression was calm, her tone even yet carrying a hint of deeper meaning:
"Whoever commits the sins should aton for them."
"Old Master Hong is neither a saint who saves all living beings, nor is he a member of this chaotic martial arts world. Why would he have an obligation to clean up the mess left by the former Purgatory Royal Family? Besides, the Black Death King seems to have special significance for Old Master Hong. He seems to want to leave Old Master Hong to someone to kill as a trial."
Ling Xiao was stunned. Could it be that his grandfather was going to leave the Black Death King to him?
With my current strength, I have no way to deal with the Black Death King.
Grandpa Hong Qi is really quite willful; he thinks too highly of himself.
He looked at Xiao Lianzhu helplessly: "Zhu'er, haven't you gone to see my Grandpa Hong Qi? After all, you all know that at this time, only my grandfather can truly kill the Black Death King."
Xiao Lianzhu smiled bitterly and helplessly: "Brother Ling, do you know why I fainted at your doorstep back then?"
"Could it be related to this matter?"
Xiao Lianzhu nodded: "That's right. In order to find Elder Hong, I went through countless hardships and searched almost every corner of the Chaotic Martial World. During that time, I also encountered a lot of dangers. Until one time, I was ambushed by my enemy, seriously injured and unconscious. I lost my cultivation and even my body shape changed. I became a little kid. The most frustrating thing is that I also lost my memory..."
"I see, no wonder you were so small when my parents found you..."
Ling Xiao finally pieced together some of the events that had happened in the past.
It has to be said that Xiao Lianzhu and him were truly destined to be together.
Xiao Lianzhu became like that purely to find her grandfather Hong Qi, and by sheer coincidence, they found the amnesiac Xiao Lianzhu... Such is the nature of cause and effect in the world.
"Brother Ling, you won't blame me, will you? After I regained my memories, I returned to the underworld town and didn't go looking for you..."
Xiao Lianzhu looked at Ling Xiao with some unease, afraid that Ling Xiao would have a different opinion of her after he knew about these things.
Ling Xiao laughed: "Silly girl, what are you saying? No matter what, you are the little girl my family picked up, my childhood sweetheart. How could I blame you? You have important things to do. Besides, we've met again, haven't we? No matter when or where, you will always be my pearl in my heart, and that will never change."
Hearing this, Xiao Lianzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a knowing smile appeared on her previously tense face. Her Ling-gege really hadn't forgotten her, nor would he despise her past.
She smiled sweetly: "Brother Ling, I know you have a woman you like, but it doesn't matter. I don't ask that we end up together. I'll be content as long as we can be brother and sister. I have no regrets about those days. In fact, they are my most beautiful memories!"
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, her tone tinged with a touch of melancholy:
"As many people say, fate is an elusive thing, and no one can explain it. What is meant to come will come eventually."
Ling Xiao stepped forward, gently took her hand, and smiled:
"This is a good thing, the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
"To meet you again, to have you by my side, no matter what the process was, is the best outcome."
Xiao Lianzhu's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Ling Xiao, a smile playing on her lips, but quickly returned to her usual composure. She nodded slightly.
"It's not a bad thing. At least, after meeting you, I'm no longer fighting alone."
As she spoke, she sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with lingering resignation: "I didn't really want to have this fate. This town has sealed away so many demons and evil spirits, and even the Black Death King, but it has also imprisoned me at the same time."
"I'm really having a headache right now. If I can't find Elder Hong, I can't completely kill the Black Death King. What should I do?"
“I’m really worried that if the seal is broken, the once terrifying Demon Soul Clan will see the light of day again. Under the leadership of the Black Death King, they will probably cause widespread suffering in the Chaotic Martial World, turning it into a hellish scene.”
"Perhaps I still won't be able to stay with you, Brother Ling. I have to stay here. If they dare to forcibly break the seal, I will reseal them at all costs! Even if it means my death..."
"Don't say such nonsense!"
Ling Xiao hurriedly covered Xiao Lianzhu's mouth, "There will be a way, there definitely will be a way. I will never sit idly by and wait to die, and I will never watch you die!"
A blush of happiness appeared on Xiao Lianzhu's face. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Perhaps there are clues in the Demon Lord's treasure. After all, the Demon Lord is a more powerful being than Elder Hong. In the past, no one on the Bai Ze Continent could be his opponent. If the Holy Temple hadn't invited outsiders, he wouldn't have failed."
“That’s one way. The Demon Lord’s Black Sky Sword is in my hands, and it’s the only key to unlock the Demon Lord’s treasure. Otherwise, I might as well go to the Silent Court right now and open the Demon Lord’s treasure.”
Ling Xiao's eyes gleamed. To him, the treasure was certainly valuable, but what was even more precious was family like Xiao Lianzhu.
Just then, Xia Ming's calm voice rang out in Ling Xiao's mind, carrying a hint of indifference and a reminder:
"You think opening the Demon Lord's Ruins is so easy?"
"The Silent Court has always regarded the Demon Lord's ruins as its own, and it is heavily guarded. How could it possibly let you in so easily?"
Ling Xiao's tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation:
“I have the key, the key to open the Demon Lord’s Ruins. As long as we have the key, we can open the gate to the ruins.”
Xia Ming chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and clarity:
"So what if you have the key?"
"Will the Silent Court just stand by and watch you open the Demon Lord's Ruins?"
"They went to great lengths to protect the ruins in order to seize the treasures inside. How could they possibly let you get there first?"
Ling Xiao turned to look at Xiao Lianzhu beside him, his eyes full of trust, and said with a smile:
"Then let my Pearl fight it!"
"With Pearl's strength, those people from the Silent Court are no match for her. As long as Pearl takes action, she will definitely be able to break through the obstacles and help us open the ruins!"
Xiao Lianzhu felt a warmth in her heart from his words, and glanced at Ling Xiao with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself, returning to her usual calm. She neither spoke nor denied anything.
