Cold Clouds

Chapter 391: The Sitting Old Man

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun followed Dachuan Zhuming all the way to a small house, and also circled around Dachuan Zhuming's mansion for a few times. It was obvious that the small house was very remote in the mansion.

Okawa Juming pushed open the door, and inside sat an old man who looked like a mummy and exuded the aura of death.

But he's still alive. Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at the old man, blinked, and then said, "Is this similar to Luo Tianhe?"

Be it the appearance, the aura, or the feeling they give, they are completely different. On the surface, Luo Tianhe at least seems to be friendly, but this old man seems to be a large, walking, movable death energy transmitter.

However, the characteristics it showed were similar to those of Luo Tianhe. Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the empty and lifeless yard outside, and took out a spiritual medicine from her storage bag. Under the influence of the thick death energy, the spiritual medicine withered in an instant, and all the spiritual energy contained in it flowed into the body of the skinny old man who was sitting cross-legged.

Well, it's a bit similar, but also different. Lin Xiaoxiao stuffed the dead spiritual medicine into the Medicine King Valley and asked Chi Huan and the others to bury it as fertilizer.

Although Chihuan and his men didn't win the battle, luckily they were not killed and they all returned to Yaowang Valley to recuperate. Although the Broken Shadow Blade was badly damaged, it was okay and has now recovered.

Hmm... Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at the old man. Dachuan Zhuming beside her smiled and said, "Look, is this just a misunderstanding?"

I don't believe it. Lin Xiaoxiao had no expression on her face. She glanced at Dachuan Zhuming and said, "Just because of your name, I won't believe your lies."

But there is really no evidence now. Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "It seems that there is no problem..."

"Then when will you return?" Okawa Zhuming suddenly asked.

"Why are you urging me to go back so urgently? Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Dachuan Zhuming.

"This... this is not the business of my small country. There is no need to trouble you, sir?" The smile on Dachuan Zhuming's face never stopped. It was so fake...

"Oh, don't bother, I don't have anything to do," Lin Xiaoxiao said with the same fake smile as Dachuan Zhuming, "It's my first time here, I'll stay a little longer."

The corners of Dachuan Zhuming's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed dryly twice: "Ahaha, then I will go and arrange accommodation for the special envoy..."

Dachuan Zhuming said this and turned away. Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun did not move and remained in the room where the skinny old man was.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked around, touched her chin, looked at the half-dead old man again, and said, "Hey, can you speak?"

The old man didn't reply. Lin Xiaoxiao dragged a chair and sat down. Although Song Hanyun felt that this was not a good idea, he didn't say much.

Lin Xiaoxiao held her chin and looked at the old man who was sitting motionless. After watching for a while, she took out the Eighteen Magic Tokens and waved them in front of the old man: "Speak, or I'll lock you up."

The old man's eyelids moved. After he opened his eyes, his slightly cloudy eyes first looked at the Eighteen Demon Orders, then stared at Lin Xiaoxiao for a while. His lips moved for a moment, and he uttered a slightly hoarse voice: "Li Tianyuan, still alive? Who are you?"

Know Lao Li? Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao put away the Eighteen Magic Orders and said, "Alive, half a master."

It was indeed half, after all, Li Tianyuan was in Ye Lan's ring, and she didn't get all the inheritance. Moreover, Li Tianyuan never taught her anything, and she basically had to study the secret books on her own.

The old man was silent for a moment: "I wanted to avenge him, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

The voice of the old man who was sitting there in silence was intermittent and incoherent, and it seemed like he was about to die at any moment, just like he looked.

But...would a "demon" be so humane? Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with doubt. She had sensed that the aura of the old man in front of her was obviously a disguised "demon", the same kind as those in the Eighteen Demon Orders.

“Do you think I’m a demon? Hehe…” The laughter of the old man who was sitting there with nothing in his mind sounded like a cough. “I was indeed a demon once, but I was sealed by the original owner of this body.”

Seal the demon with his own body!? Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils trembled. Who is this powerful person? Judging from the aura and performance of this old guy, his origin must be linked to "death".

"There are so many creatures in this world that fear death and hate death... I am the one formed by the hatred, terror and anger of all creatures and spirits towards death," the old man laughed twice again, "the demon that represents death."

Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. This guy's rank was much higher than those in the Eighteen Demon Orders. The great demons in the Eighteen Demon Orders were created by people's fear of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, that is, great demons derived from the concept of "death". However, the old man sitting in front of her was the great demon who represented the fear and disgust of "death". Obviously, he had surpassed those in the Eighteen Demon Orders in terms of his origin.

"The original owner of this body was really amazing. How can I put it? Is he really dead?" The old man raised his hand and murmured, "He merged his feelings, his memories, and everything about him with me. I have all my feelings, values, desires... They are exactly the same as his."

“It’s amazing…” The old man clenched his palms as he muttered to himself, “This feeling is very wonderful… When I was sealed, Li Tianyuan came to help stabilize me, and later on, we became quite close.”

"Well, about this," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "it was actually instigated by Luo Tianhe's people."

"I know," the old man said calmly, "The plan has been set. We have lured them in. In a few days, everything will be done..."

After saying this, the old man who was sitting in meditation closed his eyes and returned to his state of meditation again. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Song Hanyun.

Lin Xiaoxiao (giving a signal with her eyes): Shall we go?

Song Hanyun nodded (with his eyes): It seems that the other party doesn't want to talk anymore.

Lin Xiaoxiao (with eyes): Okay, let’s go.

Song Hanyun followed Lin Xiaoxiao. In fact, he was very curious why she didn't just communicate via telepathy, but if Lin Xiaoxiao was happy to do so, then that was fine.

……

"Someone has agreed to meet us. Will we go there in two days?" Feng Mingyue, who was practicing on the hilltop, twisted his shoulders and looked at the person Luo Tianhe sent to deliver the message. "Okay, then I'll wait for two more days..."

Feng Mingyue said, pulling up a mountain top and using it as a ball for catching. She threw it a few times and put it back. "It's not enough. Hey!"

The messenger who was about to leave was stopped by Feng Mingyue again.

"Are there any free Nine Generals? Ask two to come and practice with me. I need to ensure that I am in the best condition," Feng Mingyue said calmly, "I can't lose."
