Chapter 14886 Who is Evil?
The Black Death King smiled frankly, without any attempt to hide it, his tone carrying a hint of smugness:
"Exactly."
"Your strength is formidable, and your soul power is even more domineering. The energy collision generated when I fought you was enough to weaken the power of the seal, saving me the trouble of breaking it. I should thank you for doing me a great favor."
Xiao Lianzhu nodded slightly, her tone flat, yet carrying a hint of disdain:
"A good plan, but unfortunately, you've miscalculated. This method alone is not enough to help you break free from the seal."
The Black Death King laughed loudly, his laughter arrogant and domineering. Then, as if sensing something, his gaze shifted slightly, precisely locking onto the direction where Ling Xiao was hiding, and a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips:
“I’ve heard of you, Ling Xiao.”
Have you heard of yourself?
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Since he had already been discovered, there was no point in hiding any longer. He simply deactivated the Sacred Rune Array, stepped out from the shadows, and looked directly at the Black Death King, his tone carrying a hint of doubt and wariness:
"Hehe, I had no idea that someone as insignificant as me would become so famous that even a senior expert like you, the renowned Black Death King, knows about me? It's truly an honor!"
The Black Death King revealed a disdainful sneer and mocked, "You overestimate yourself. You are indeed just an ant. The only reason I know you is because of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword you possess. I never thought that the sword once held by the strongest person in the White Ze Continent would fall into the hands of a nobody like you. What a pity!"
Ling Xiao wasn't angry. He was just a nobody, and what the other person said wasn't wrong.
However, it's quite unbelievable that the Black Death King also knows that the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword is in his possession. It seems that this news has probably spread everywhere.
This thing is truly a double-edged sword. It can enhance his strength, but at the same time, it will make him a target of everyone's hatred. It's troublesome, too troublesome.
"You want that sword?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
The Black Death King looked at him calmly: "You have some guts, kid. But I don't need it now. I'll come to you to get it when I do. Don't lose my precious sword."
"By the way, when I come to you for that sword, you'd better behave yourself, that way you might be able to save your life."
After speaking, the Black Death King planned to leave. He was not in good condition, and if he stayed outside for a long time, he might really be shattered. He should go back and continue to recuperate, and try to wait until the seal was completely broken.
"What's the rush? Let's chat a bit more. I've always been curious why my grandfather Hong Qi didn't kill you back then, but just sealed you away. It's really strange. Can you tell me why?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Given his strength, destroying you back then should have been a piece of cake, right?"
Black Death King paused for a moment, perhaps upon hearing the name Hong Qi, which was a nightmare for him.
"Hong Qi is actually your grandfather! I really didn't expect that."
He stared intently at Ling Xiao, his eyes revealing a hint of hatred, but even more so, fear. "Indeed, it would have been easy for him to kill me back then, but he didn't, naturally because there were reasons you couldn't understand!"
Ling Xiao pressed for more information, his doubts growing stronger:
"What cause and effect?"
Why didn't he kill you?
"Could it be due to some cause and effect, or some other consideration?"
The Black Death King laughed:
"Because everything has a cause and effect, every drink and every bite has its own destiny."
"Why do you think this place has become hell?"
Why are so many wronged souls gathered here?
"This is not a coincidence; it is all the result of the sins sown by the royal family of Purgatory back then."
"The Purgatory Royal Family committed a great deal of bloodshed back then in order to consolidate their position and increase their power, haha!"
He paused, then turned his gaze to Xiao Lianzhu, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery:
"If you want to know more about the Purgatory Royal Family and the secrets of this place, you can ask this descendant of the Purgatory Royal Family beside you. She will surely know some inside information."
"in addition……"
The Black Death King seemed to remember something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips:
“I remember that Mr. Hong left a message back then. He seemed to say that he wanted to leave me to someone, but I don’t know who it was.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished completely into the void, leaving only a faint, chilling aura as proof that he had been there.
Ling Xiao turned to look at Xiao Lianzhu, his eyes full of doubt. He was about to ask a question when Xiao Lianzhu spoke first, her tone calm and firm:
"Let's go back to the underworld town first; we shouldn't stay here any longer."
After saying that, she stepped forward, took Ling Xiao's hand, and with a flash of spiritual light around her, she and Ling Xiao instantly disappeared into hell, turning into a white light and speeding towards the underworld town at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
After returning to the quiet courtyard of the underworld town, Xiao Lianzhu dismissed all the guards, leaving only her and Ling Xiao in the courtyard, where the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Xiao Lianzhu turned around, looked directly at Ling Xiao, and slowly said:
"You're right. This place is indeed not only an ancient battlefield, but also a place where the Purgatory Royal Family used to conduct experiments, an extremely evil experimental field."
Ling Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly asked:
"What experiment?"
"How evil is this experiment, which can cause the deaths of hundreds of millions of people and turn this place into hell?"
Xiao Lianzhu's expression was solemn, and her tone was low and cold:
"I don't know about that. The records left by our ancestors don't explain the specific details of the experiment. All we know is that the experiment was extremely evil and terrifying."
"Back then, in order to complete their experiments, the Purgatory Royal Family captured hundreds of millions of innocent people and used them as experimental subjects, which ultimately led to the tragic deaths of all of them. Their souls gathered here, and over time, this hell was formed."
"Speaking of which, the Infernal Royal Family back then was even more evil and cruel than that Black Death King."
At this point, Xiao Lianzhu lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing between her brows. Then she slowly raised her eyes and continued:
“I once read in my ancestors’ records that when the King of Purgatory Kingdom was desperate, he invited a great figure to come and destroy the Black Death King. Now that I think about it, that great figure should be Elder Hong.”
"But no one expected that after Elder Hong arrived here, he directly rejected the request of the Lord of Purgatory Kingdom."
He even had a private conversation with the Black Death King for a full hour, after which he left quietly. No one knows what they discussed during their conversation, leaving behind endless mysteries.
Ling Xiao sat to the side, his fingertips gently stroking the hilt of the God-Slaying Sword, silent, but his heart was churning.
Indeed, the affairs of this world are entangled in a web of grudges and favors, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
People say that the Black Death King is evil and violent, a demon who wreaks havoc on the world. But now, thinking about it, he was just a pitiful creature born from the resentment of countless wronged souls. His life was filled with hatred and pain, and he never had a moment of peace.
On the contrary, the high and mighty royal family of Purgatory, for their own selfish desires, committed heinous crimes, harming hundreds of millions of innocent people and causing this hellish tragedy. They are truly despicable and cannot atone for their sins even if they die a hundred times.
