CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 497: WHAT YOU WANT IS WHAT I WANT_2

Everyone sighed in relief in unison... but Sui Yi asked, "Then, what about the second possibility?"

"The second possibility..." Ye Zixu’s expression was very grave, even quite solemn: "The second is based on the charred corpse we saw tonight and the conjectures I could make."

What does that mean?

"To thrive then decline," Sui Yi suddenly interjected, a statement that made everyone present instantly understand, followed by shock.

"You mean, the seal did indeed reach its peak, but now... it’s loosening?" Zhong Lang said, suddenly raising his voice: "That charred corpse!"

Right, their previous analysis was that the charred corpse couldn’t leave the room, so, it must be due to some sealing obstruction. However, they could all guess that these charred corpses were originally in the hole under the bed board, and then they managed to climb up to the room.... In the end, could they leave the room and roam around?

"And the portraits... I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the men and women in those paintings, their attire, clothing, and accessories all don’t belong to this era, but rather they resemble... Middle Ages European style... and they were burned to death... so, can we suspect that the people in the paintings are those who perished in the Hellfire Castle back then, and that the charred corpse corresponds to the people in the paintings..." Cao Ling concluded with a wave of his hand: "If it’s the second case, then tonight or in the following time, the worst scenario we could face is -- confronting the vengeful spirits who died horribly centuries ago!"

"Of course, if we could encounter the Hell Prince, then we’d have struck it rich!"

The members of the two organizations glanced at each other, all simultaneously cursing their superiors at this moment. Is this the ’not so difficult’ mission you spoke of?

"The situation is probably not that severe. Our superiors tasked us with investigating the condition of this seal, and if the Cursed Grudge Power has completely vanished, then we can take back the Yellow Springs Sword and the Naihe Seal and be done with it... If it hasn’t completely disappeared, then we need to have a serious discussion,"

Both Nations’ Dark Side circles surely need to haggle over this matter. Like, wanting us to continue suppressing the seal on this doomed island, you’ve got to give something in return to make it fair, or else we might just take this thing with us. After all, it’s the British who will be in the pit!

"Be done with it? I don’t like the word you’re using, as if the Yellow Springs Sword and the Naihe Seal belong to the Imperial Guards~" What had been a peaceful communication meeting could reveal its true nature in minutes because of Cao Ling’s comment.

Zhong Lang smiled: "Our Imperial Guards are at least an official organization, the nation’s legitimate authority. Although The Gate is powerful, it’s based among the people... specifically, among the American people.."

The power of The Gate is indisputable, but its focus has long since shifted away from the homeland, which is the one aspect the Imperial Guards can look down upon.

Cao Ling was noncommittal: "But this still doesn’t justify your possession of the Yellow Springs Sword and the Naihe Seal."

As the quarreling seemed about to restart, Sui Yi remained silent; Yi had been out of sync from the beginning -- she was looking at a painting.

Ming Lanyuan coughed and said, "We’re all Chinese people here, why the need for such urgent aggression? Besides, we don’t even know where the Yellow Springs Sword is or what it looks like. We can’t even be sure what’s going on with this castle; have you seen Handsome Ye confirm it? Let’s not be too hasty with some matters... Right now, it’s clear that those behind the scenes have detected our arrival and intent, taking the initiative... Sui Yi, what do you think?"

Only Ming Lanyuan could change the topic so blatantly. Sui Yi glanced at them and said, "I’m not one of you."

Fuck! We’ve revealed so much information already, and you’ve been listening for so long, now you’re telling us we’re not on the same side? Goddess, we can’t just be left high and dry like this!

As several of them stared, Sui Yi cocked her head and said, "I know less than you do, but there’s one thing I can probably make clear to you."

Speak! We’re all ears!

"What you want is also what I want."

Damn! You might as well have said nothing!

This really could be considered terrible news.

Basked in the warm light, Sui Yi was helpless against the complex expressions on the faces of the others. However, she wasn’t about to demand their information for nothing.

So she added, "This island has been renovated with a Feng Shui design, the Big Dipper Nine Evils. Hellfire Castle is located at the evil position, so the evil energy here is the strongest. It’s just that now it has been sealed. To seal the evil energy requires strong and sharp energy, which comes from the Yellow Springs Sword."

"As for the Gang Position, it’s where the righteous energy of heaven and earth resides, aiming to guide and transform rebirths. That’s where the Naihe Seal is located,"
