Chapter 99

Under the mask was a familiar face. It was Jiang Zhou's King, Jiang Xujun.

You Wuming had completely subdued him before he broke his own heart meridian.

Jiang Xujun's face turned pale.

Previously, he had been hoping that someone would come to save his life, so he was not willing to kill himself. Now that he had fallen into the enemy's hands, he had lost his last chance to die cleanly.

You Wuming swung his blade and sheathed it. Behind him, the rest of the core members of the Heavenly Altar fell to the ground. Their heads were separated from their bodies.

If he wanted to punish them for their crimes, it would not be enough even if he killed them a hundred times.

He dragged Jiang Xujun, whose limbs had turned to jelly, up the altar.

Sang Yuanyuan sighed silently. Just now, even she was almost fooled by him. She thought that he really did not want to leave anyone alive and was just killing for fun.

It turned out that he was trying to break through the enemy's defenses step by step and catch the leader hiding in the crowd.

She stepped over the black dust and empty black robes on the ground and walked up the altar.

"This is the Heaven Evolution Mirror." She looked nervously at the mirror that was placed flat on the altar.

It was two feet square and looked ordinary.

"Touch it as you wish."

You Wuming smiled. "If you don't attract a large amount of seven-colored energy, it won't trigger any strange effects."

When he heard this, Jiang Xujun's face turned even paler. You Wuming really knew everything!

Originally, Jiang Xujun was still hesitating. If You Wuming asked him about the secret of the Heavenly Altar, should he tell him?

Should he make up some lies to deceive him?

At this moment, his last line of defense collapsed.

The string in his heart was on the verge of breaking.

Why? Why did the Altar Leader kill him to silence him?

Jiang Xujun did not dare to say or ask.

His previous tragic experience told him that no matter if he said, "I'm not afraid of death," "Kill me," or "I'll tell you everything," he would be killed by this lunatic without blinking an eye.

It seemed that You Wuming was telling the truth just now. He did not want to extort a confession. He was really ordered by the Altar Leader to kill him!

If that was the case, why should he keep it a secret?

Let's just break up!

The problem is that You Wuming You Don't Want to Ask Me Anything?

Jiang Xujun subconsciously began to hope that You Wuming would ask him if there was anything you didn't understand.

Even asking him why he was here would be good!

In fact, he was innocent!

He hadn't even warmed up from the position of Vice Altar Head.

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan was also sizing up Jiang Xujun without batting an eyelid. The King of Jiangzhou and his family all had very special figures. They were like bamboo poles, so they were not very eye-catching in the crowd. However, if they stood in the front and led the crowd to cast spells, they would be recognized at a glance.

She had used the broken mirror to see the scene of them casting the spell. Among the one altar head and the three vice altar heads, there was no such bamboo pole.

You Wuming lazily squinted.

It was as if he had completely forgotten that Jiang Xujun was still beside him.

"Little Sang Guo, let's try this mirror."

Sang Yuanyuan followed his gaze and saw that his gaze fell on the center of the Heaven Evolution Mirror, where a piece was missing.

He took out the piece of mirror that he had taken from Meng Wuyou.

This piece of mirror had a small diamond-shaped protrusion. At a glance, it was obvious that this was the core of the Heaven Evolution Mirror.

You Wuming mysteriously put the mirror to his lips, pinched his throat, and screamed in a shrill and panicked voice, "Grandpa Tiandao, please save us!

Please save me and Han Lang! "

Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. She had to admit that he had accurately imitated the essence of Meng Wuyou.

Jiang Xujun, who was standing to the side, was drenched in cold sweat. After seeing the Great Demon King's attitude, how could he let him live?

He was definitely going to die, but the problem was how to die. This was a serious problem.

After You Wuming spoke to the core of the mirror, the 107 pieces of mirror on the altar buzzed and trembled. A faint seven-colored light circulated, and an image suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror. In this underground hall, You Wuming pretended to be frightened, Sang Yuanyuan looked speechless, Jiang Xujun looked as if he had died, and the floor was filled with black robes and masks.

You Wuming's strange cry for help floated out from the swaying seven-colored light. "Grandpa Tiandao, please save us!

Please save me and Han Lang! "

Sang Yuanyuan felt that the function of the Heaven Evolution Mirror was a bit like a supercomputer. It could predict the future, and it could also record and store images and sounds.

The seven-colored power was its "electricity."

"Well, this is how fakes call for help." You Wuming clicked his tongue. "Boring."

After this test, he found out that as long as he called for help through the mirror core, the Heaven Evolution Mirror on the altar could accurately reflect the situation around the mirror core, and the Temple of Heaven could respond in time to rescue him.

Sang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly.

After a while, he laughed so hard that he held his stomach and bent over.

"Sang Guo?"

Sang Yuanyuan laughed and waved his hand. "I was wondering why Meng Wuyou always likes to shout about principles. She probably thinks that those righteous words are spells to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao!

No wonder whenever there is danger, when others are thinking about running away, she will stand there and talk a lot. "

You Wuming thought for a moment, and his face was full of black lines. "…"

Even though he didn't say anything, Sang Yuanyuan could clearly see two words in his black eyes — idiot, idiot.

Jiang Xujun's legs trembled even more.

This time, he was even more certain that You Wuming did not need to keep him alive to interrogate him.

The taste of waiting for death was already torturous enough. What was worse was that You Wuming seemed to have completely forgotten about this person, causing Jiang Xujun's heart to be in turmoil, and his old life was about to be tormented.

Suddenly, You Wuming turned around on the spot, and a pair of bottomless black eyes stared straight at him.

You Wuming said indifferently, "Just casually talk about you?

It's better if you say something I don't know. "

Jiang Xujun quivered and hurriedly replied, "I was summoned to the Temple of Heaven by the head of the Jiang family. I just arrived not long ago, and I replaced Sang Chengyin's position. Sang Chengyin was originally the Vice Altar Head, but he failed to frame Sang Chengyin last time. The Altar Head was worried that he would fall into the hands of others and leak our secret, so he killed him and replaced him with me."

He really did say something that You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan did not know.

So that was it.

Sang Yuanyuan did not expect that Prince Shu's uncle, Sang Chengyin, was actually one of the Vice Altar Heads.

No wonder they could not find out the reason for his betrayal. The Temple of Heaven was secretive and had been moving underground for so many years. It was normal that they could not find out.

Jiang Xujun continued, "The head of this generation of the Jiang family is Jiang Yi. On the surface, he is only a eunuch and bodyguard, but in fact, he is personally watching over Kang Yanji.

Sang Chengyin is also secretly trained by the Jiang family. His birth mother is a member of the royal family of the Jiang family, and she has taught him since he was young. He is a member of the Jiang family, not a member of the Sang family. "

Sang Yuanyuan nodded and thought to himself that this made sense. After losing Sang Chengyin, who belonged to the Jiang family, Jiang Yi transferred another important person from the Jiang family to fill the gap. This could be considered as a check and balance between the Jiang family and Emperor Yun. Four leaders, two from the Yun family and two from the Jiang family.

Jiang Xujun said nervously, "I don't know why the Altar Head wants to kill me.

I just came here not long ago, and I don't know many people … "

You Wuming smiled wickedly. "Do you want to know?

I'll tell you! "

Jiang Xujun's expression said, "I'll let you know the reason before you die."

Jiang Xujun became even more nervous. "No, no, no, no, I don't want to …"

"Then, do you know what happened to me?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Jiang Xujun saw that she had something to ask him and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. "I know about this.

Yun Zhichuo told me.

Speaking of which, among the few of us, I can only talk to Yun Zhi Zhuo. He treats people with sincerity. I just came here and didn't know anything, so he explained everything to me. He's not impatient either. He's a very good person. "

He was trying to stall for time.

"Get to the point!" Sang Yuanyuan was angry.

Jiang Xujun wiped his sweat. "Okay, but I have to start from the beginning.

The original cause was more than 20 years ago. The Altar of Heaven used the Great Heaven-deriving Technique to calculate the fate of the world. He saw the end of the world. There was no living person on the vast land. There was only endless blood, fire, scorched earth, and the corpses of the Underworld Demons.

There was not a single person. Civilization was completely destroyed. At the end of the technique, he saw two world-destroying demons with flames on their bodies. It was really terrifying! "

You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan looked at each other silently.

What he said matched most of Qin Yuchi's testimony. However, Qin Yuchi did not mention the so-called world-destroying demons. This should be a top secret that only the higher-ups knew.

You Wuming raised his eyebrows. "Okay, continue."

Jiang Xujun said, "The Altar of Heaven repeatedly calculated and looked for a solution. In the end, the Great Heaven-deriving Technique showed the only chance of survival. The Crown Prince of the State of Korea, Han Shaoling, is the Son of Heaven. With the help of a pure and kind woman and the help of the Altar of Heaven, they can fight for a chance of survival and avoid the disaster of the world."

Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming looked at each other and nodded silently.

This was also the clue that they knew.

"However, there was one person who did not fit in with the 'future' predicted by the Great Heaven-deriving Technique. She was Kang Yanji.

According to the future shown by the Heaven-deriving Mirror, she should have become the Empress and become Han Shaoling's stepping stone. However, Kang Yanji … Alas, she found a man outside and gave birth to an illegitimate child. We threatened and tempted her in every possible way, but she refused to cooperate. She only wanted to be with that man. "

"When it comes to matters of destiny, the whole situation will be affected. If Kang Yanji is not the Empress, then the future will be completely messed up. Huangfu Jun will definitely not be willing to support the Jiang family … The only chance of survival will be destroyed by Kang Yanji."

Sang Yuanyuan's heart thumped heavily. He quietly reached out and held You Wuming's hand.

His hand was trembling slightly.

"Later." You Wuming calmly squeezed out two words through his teeth.

Jiang Xujun said, "Later, the Altar Head thought of a way — to trick Kang Yanji into coming back. Then, through the Mirror Core, he used the power of destiny to force the 'correct' future into Kang Yanji's mind."

Sang Yuanyuan felt You Wuming's hand tremble even more. Sometimes, it was as cold as ice, and sometimes, it was difficult to suppress the heat that burned her hand.

"In the end, no one expected that," Jiang Xujun said, "Kang Yanji did not turn over a new leaf. Instead, she changed into a different person.

This matter was really too mysterious. Yun Zhichuo only said that he could not explain it clearly. It was probably that Kang Yanji's original soul was expelled to another world, and a ruthless soul that was very suitable for the 'future' was replaced. "

"After this' Kang Yanji 'arrived, everything matched the' correct future 'shown by the Great Heaven-deriving Technique.

Therefore, together with Huangfu Jun, we pushed this' Kang Yanji 'to become the empress.

Huangfu Jun was a person who valued family ties. Kang Yanji gave birth to a son for him. That son was Dongzhou's Huangfu Du. With this child, Huangfu Jun was willing to support Kang Yanji behind the scenes. "

"In short, Huangfu Jun was kept in the dark by Kang Yanji. In fact, Kang Yanji was also kept in the dark by us.

She had no idea that everything she and Huangfu Jun did was ultimately to pave the way for the Son of Destiny, Han Shaoling. "

You Wuming lowered his head. His entire face was buried in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Jiang Xujun said, "This' Kang Yanji 'lived up to everyone's expectations. She killed the man outside and the illegitimate child. She successfully gained Huangfu Jun's complete trust and successfully ascended the throne to become the empress.

After this incident, the Temple of Heaven found a way to solve the problem. If there was another important person who could influence the course of history who did not take the right path, then they would be replaced. "

Sang Yuanyuan staggered slightly. "The next person to be targeted is me."

Jiang Xujun nodded. "Yes, the Temple of Heaven used the Inverse Heaven and Earth technique for the second time for you, Princess Sang.

The Great Heaven-deriving Technique showed that the woman who accompanied the Son of Destiny, Han Shaoling, was a woman who loved equality and was pure and kind. In order to help others, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself and the benefits of the people around her.

Unfortunately, after a long period of observation, the Temple of Heaven found that Princess Sang was not such a person. "

Sang Yuanyuan said slowly, "I am really grateful for the Temple of Heaven's correct evaluation of me. I am not a fool."

She tried to make her tone a little more relaxed, but her voice unconsciously became much hoarser and was tainted with gloominess.

"Isn't that so?" Jiang Xujun smiled ingratiatingly. "In fact, even Yun Zhishuo could not stand Meng Wuyou. However, there was no other way. Only she was by Han Shaoling's side. Only if they became the final victors, the world would be saved from disaster. No one could do anything about it, right?"

Sang Yuanyuan nodded. "Tell me about what happened six years ago."

Jiang Xujun hurriedly said, "Six years ago, the Temple of Heaven used the Inverse Heaven and Earth technique again. He poured the 'correct future' and the power of destiny into the Mirror Core. Yun Zhishuo took the Mirror Core to your Adulthood Ceremony. He planned to exchange it for a suitable soul to take over everything, just like how he exchanged Kang Yanji."

"In the end, something went wrong.

Yun Zhishuo said that after you were bestowed with the power of destiny, you told him that you were not with Han Shaoling. Instead, you died six years later. Because the Great Heaven's Divination Technique was used to pry into the mysteries of heaven, it could only see the general trend and fragments. Therefore, no one knew that Sang Yuanyuan had died so early. The one who accompanied Han Shaoling was just another woman who looked like you. "

"Didn't Yun Zhishuo suspect that I was lying?" Sang Yuanyuan could not help but ask.

Jiang Xujun said, "After being infused with the power of destiny, your soul was not complete and your mind was not clear. It was impossible for you to lie.

At that time, Yun Zhishuo was soft-hearted and allowed you to make a wish to the Mirror Core — to see this world one last time before you died. "

"Yun Zhishuo said that this was the only mistake he had made in his life.

He originally thought that this little bit of soft-heartedness and kindness was not important. He did not expect that there would always be a way out. In a situation of certain death, you actually survived and even messed up the overall situation.

Many people who should have died did not die, but those who should have lived died one after another … "

Sang Yuanyuan immediately remembered the confusing words that Yun Zhishuo had said in Bai Province.

Therefore, six years ago, when the naive and lively girl received the 'blessing' from the Son of Heaven Altar, she did not expect this blessing to be so heavy that it tore her soul out of her body.

Sang Yuanyuan suddenly felt cold. Although she did not have any memories, some instinctive reactions of pain assaulted her mind, causing her to tremble and tremble.

It really was a 'mistake that could not be considered a mistake at all'!

Sang Yuanyuan seemed to have sensed her state of mind at that time — the most beautiful period of a woman's life was about to begin, but it was mercilessly strangled by the hands of fate.

She could do nothing but endure the pain of her soul being torn apart and pray to the executioner for a small, insignificant wish. Before she died, she wanted to see this world one last time.

The most ironic thing was that when she had just learned that she was destined to die at the hands of Han Shaoling's young madam, he had actually proposed to her.

Sang Yuanyuan finally understood why she had made a person she had only met once wait for six years.

If Han Shaoling had been willing to wait for her, if he had not married You Yingyue, then Sang Yuanyuan would not have been killed. He was the only person she could have seen at that time, the only person she could have grasped at to save her life.

If he had waited for her, as long as he had waited for her.

She would have been able to live.

Unfortunately, he had not.

She did not resent Han Shaoling. His choice was not wrong. It was just that from that time, she and he had walked step by step towards today's ending.

He had thought that it was just a small and insignificant betrayal, but at that time, she had staked her own life.

He had not waited for her, but had married her. He had given her the position of first wife, but he had betrayed her life.

All of this had been decided by his personality.

If it had been someone like You Wuming, he would have either not agreed, or if he had agreed, he would have definitely fulfilled his promise. He would not have settled for the second best and kept the position of first wife.

Perhaps this was the true 'will of the heavens'.

Whoever was with whom, they were destined to be together.

Her eyes could not help but heat up. Her nose was sour, and hot tears slid down her face.

A large hand wrapped around her shoulder.

"Guo, don't be afraid." You Wuming's voice was filled with suppressed emotions.

She really wanted to fall into his arms and cry to her heart's content.

But now was not the time.

She looked at Jiang Xujun. "Then what's the matter with Meng Wuyou?"

"Yun Zhishuo said that for some reason, the pure and kind soul he had summoned from the other world could not enter your body. It was residing in the Mirror Core.

He could only order people to find a woman who looked similar to you and try to put the soul in.

Later, they found Meng Wuyou. "

"Yun Zhishuo gave the Mirror Core to Meng Wuyou and told her that her mission was to assist the Son of Destiny, Han Shaoling. He taught Meng Wuyou many principles and the path she would take in the future."

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" It was a little hard to tell who had tricked who.

She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and asked, "The Heaven Evolving Mirror was shattered by the Reversal of Heaven and Earth technique, right?"

"Yes," Jiang Xujun said. "Yun Zhishuo said that this technique was too heaven-defying. When he used this technique on Kang Yanji, the Heaven Evolving Mirror was already broken and could only barely be used.

Six years ago, when he used this technique on you, the Heaven Evolving Mirror was completely shattered. It was blown into the sky by the power of destiny and scattered in all directions. "

"All these years, we've been collecting broken mirrors and finally pieced them together.

Last time, when Meng Wuyou and Han Shaoling fell off the cliff and asked for help, we had no choice but to use this incomplete Heaven Evolving Mirror to inject the power of destiny into the Mirror Core in Meng Wuyou's hand. There was an accident midway and the Heaven Evolving Mirror almost collapsed. Yun Zhishuo was anxious and used his body to protect the mirror. Unfortunately, he was infected by the power of destiny. "

"He said that he couldn't take it anymore, so he took the power of the Heavenly Dao to find you and set things right.

After that, "Jiang Xujun lowered his eyes." I heard that the White Prefecture's King hung his body on the city wall and exposed it to the sun for many days. "

"He died too easily," You Wuming said lightly.

Jiang Xujun smiled awkwardly. "Actually, Yun Zhishuo wasn't a bad person … He had no choice, no choice …"

"Do you know the origin of the Heaven Evolving Mirror?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Jiang Xujun shook his head. "I don't know.

I don't even know about Yun Zhishuo. "

"Then do you know how to perform these techniques?"

Jiang Xujun continued to shake his head. "The Altar Head performs the technique and guides the resonance of the spiritual accumulations.

We only need to concentrate on cooperating with him. "

"Hiss —" Jiang Xujun sucked in a breath of cold air and belatedly reacted. "That's not right. It wasn't easy for us to gather all the fragments except for the mirror core today. We spent a few hours here, and we were all exhausted. It was precisely because we wanted to use the resonance between the Heaven Evolving Mirror and the mirror core to spy on You Wuming.

How could he have been sent by the Altar Head?

I've been deceived! "

Sang Yuanyuan nodded. "Yes, you've been deceived.

I don't have anything else to ask. "

Jiang Xujun's eyes widened. "I've already told you everything. Do you still want to kill me?!"

You Wuming smiled gently. "There's no other way, King Jiang. Your two sons died in my hands. Even if I'm willing to let you go, you won't let me go.

In fact, I killed Jiang Jinzhen and Jiang Jinpeng. Both of them. "

Jiang Xujun was speechless.

After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly let out a miserable howl. "Why did you tell me?!"

You Wuming casually burned him to ashes, and he died in the blink of an eye. He didn't suffer any torture.

His expression was very serious. "We solved each other's doubts. Courtesy demands reciprocity."

He tilted his head to look at Sang Yuanyuan.

He was in a hurry to kill Jiang Xujun because he felt that Little Sang Guo seemed to want to hug him and cry.

But now, she didn't seem to want to cry.

She clasped her hands behind her back and bent over to examine the Heaven Evolving Mirror.

You Wuming suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He knew that she hadn't recovered. She had just swallowed the pain alone.

"Sang Guo."

"Hmm?" She turned around and a smile appeared on her face.

He didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Sang Yuanyuan said, "I'm wondering if we can use this mirror to find the real Kang Yanji!"

You Wuming, "!!!"

His breathing suddenly stopped.

After a while, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "That kind of thing … Who knows where she was thrown to? Who knows if she's dead or alive …"

"I might know!" She playfully blinked her right eye. "You can't do anything about that. You still have to rely on me, your wife."

You Wuming, "!!!"

How could he have forgotten that his Little Mulberry Fruit was a treasure that could give people unexpected surprises from time to time!

"But first, we have to study how to use this mirror."

Sang Yuanyuan said, "I've realized that only Old Man Yun knows the real secret of this mirror. I think he won't tell us."

"That's right." You Wuming smiled faintly. "There's no other person as stupid and honest as Jiang Xujun."

Sang Yuanyuan, "…"

The two held hands and walked to the side of the Tian Yan Mirror.

Sang Yuanyuan stared at the mirror for a while and said, "You Wuming, have you noticed a problem? In fact, other than this mirror, everything else is in line with common sense. It can be explained by the basic rules and logic of the world.

But this mirror is different. Its ability is far beyond the scope of normal. If I'm not wrong, it must be from a higher level of civilization … Eh, what are you thinking about? "

You Wuming frowned slightly. Looking at the mirror core in his hand, he said, "I'm thinking about something.

Little Sang Guo, just now Jiang Xujun said that Old Man Yun used the connection between the mirror and the mirror core to spy on me. What does that mean … What did he see, and then Old Man Yun and Jiang Yi left here? "

Sang Yuanyuan's heart trembled slightly.

You Wuming placed his palm on the mirror and poured it into the black flame. He said in a strange voice, "Mirror, mirror, let me see the lost mirror core. Where is it and what is it doing?"

When the resonance occurred, a scene appeared clearly on the mirror.

Strangely, it was not here and now. Instead, it was the scene of You Wuming refining the giant ice tortoise.

You Wuming thought for a moment and poured it into the black flame again.

This time, the scene of him picking up the mirror core appeared.

Just like using the broken mirror to look at the 'future', the scene appeared randomly. There was no pattern.

You Wuming took a deep breath.

After getting the mirror core, he had done a lot of good things.

For example, attacking Jiang Shisan in Jiang Zhou at night, killing Huangfu Jun in Ice Mist Valley … What did Emperor Yun find in the end after searching here for several hours?

Suddenly, a jade slip flashed.

It was a message from Yun Xuzhou — —

"You Wuming, I just received news that Kang Yanji got a Spiritual Memory Pearl. He said that it recorded the scene of you killing Huangfu Jun in Ice Mist Valley and wanted to give it to Huangfu Xiong. Huangfu Xiong asked me for my opinion. I told him to wait and see in case it was a trap.

I don't think it will take long. You Wuming, you didn't really leave that thing behind, did you?! "

Sure enough, as long as there was a possibility of something bad happening, it would definitely happen.

You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan lowered their heads and looked at the vivid scene on the mirror …

If it was recorded with the Spiritual Memory Pearl, it would be very clear.
