CHAPTER 1349: CHAPTER 593: ZHI NING ENTERS THE SOUTHERN BARBARIAN LANDS! CENTAUR TRIBE!_2
This Energy Barrier was created by the ancient dragons and serves as a one-way energy gate. Its purpose is to lead the human armies straight into the Barbaric Wilderness. Therefore, the gate allows entry but no exit.
This is one of the top secrets of the Dragon Temple.
Princess Zhining nodded and said, "We will remember that."
The Golden Flyer, Die Wu, hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of elixirs and said, "For the children, if they can’t bear the cold, use a little. Scrape off a bit, dissolve it in water, and let the children take it. Just a tiny bit, the amount you can scrape off with a fingernail, is enough."
Zhining received it.
"Farewell, take care!" said the Golden Flyer, Die Wu, before soaring into the sky with her wings.
Never having willingly knelt before anyone, Princess Zhi Ning willingly knelt down, watching her departing figure.
Because she knew, what kind of punishment was waiting for Die Wu upon her return? Maybe even death!
Fang Qingzhuo asked, "Xiao Ning, are we heading north or south?"
Her intention was to head south, to join forces with the Hell Knights. After all, being next to the powerful Hell Knights would be safer.
Zhining shook her head and said, "The Hell Knights have their own matters. Going north is a dead end; the Dragon Temple wouldn’t expect us to go that way. The southern seas are filled with traps set by the Dragon Temple, making it impossible for us to join forces with the Hell Knights successfully. Northward we go! As for what awaits us, we’ll leave it to fate!"
Then, Zhining and her group boarded a ship, continually heading north, advancing towards the world’s end, the extremely cold regions.
Venturing towards the unknown world.
...
On that day, Yan Mo was poisoned by his wife, and his body exploded and died!
The Headless Knight and Lan Tu have been searching this sea area for days and nights!
What are they searching for?
The remains of Yan Mo.
Now, years have passed, and Yan Mo’s body had been shattered too thoroughly back then.
Thus, finding his bones has become an immensely enormous project. The most harrowing part is, after he exploded, his body was consumed by the sea fish. However, fortunately, his body was poisonous, and the fish died immediately after consuming it; otherwise, they would have swum thousands of miles away, making it impossible to find them.
Even so, the two powerful Hell Knights have managed to find only a little over half of Yan Mo’s bones, while the rest remain elusive.
Afterward, the two began to piece together Yan Mo’s bones on a small boat.
Once the bones were assembled, it was time to summon his soul.
This part was relatively easier because Yan Mo had been poisoned by his wife, dying with grievances and betrayal. His unwilling soul lingered, constantly wandering over this sea.
"Come back, my brother!"
The Headless Knight released countless ghostly fires from his hands, which danced above the sea.
Under the glow of ghostly fires, sure enough, countless grievances could be seen; these were Yan Mo’s wandering souls, mindless and instinctively hovering over this ocean, already widely dispersed.
In time, Yan Mo’s soul would inevitably disperse entirely, with no chance of reincarnation.
Under the guidance of the ghostly fires, the grievances of Yan Mo started to condense, gathering, eventually forming a complete soul.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
"Wretch, dare you harm me, I’ll tear you to pieces, and annihilate the Hai Family!"
The grievances of Yan Mo echoed with roaring shouts.
"Grievances possessed!" The Headless Knight dismissed the display as unseemly, shaking his head, although without a head, it appeared motionless.
The myriad grievances of Yan Mo’s soul were injected into the incomplete skeleton.
Then, the Headless Knight took out the Ancient Demon’s blood and poured it into Yan Mo’s skeleton.
Just like before, a green energy heart grew out, starting to beat.
The heart’s energy began constructing new veins, blood vessels, eyes.
Started growing muscles, a body.
After a full fifteen minutes, Yan Mo suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
However, his body remained incomplete, with one arm and one leg missing, and ribs incomplete.
Moreover, the body surface remained rotten, riddled with wounds.
"Wretch, I will kill you!"
"Brother? Long time no see!"
"Traitors, you are all traitors..."
"This brother seems familiar, may I ask who you are!"
Like a madman, Yan Mo’s mind oscillated between memories of the ancient Hell Knight and his own, emitting two completely different voices.
The Headless Knight remained silent, waiting quietly for his mind to settle.
Ultimately, the emotions, rationality, energy, and memories of the ancient Hell Knight would suppress and dominate everything.
After all, the Hell Knight is eternal; Yan Mo is but one cycle of reincarnation.
Indeed, Yan Mo calmed down, asking, "Where is the Demon Emperor? Who is it?"
Crown Prince Lan Tu gloated and said, "Suo Lun!"
He stared intently at Yan Mo, eagerly anticipating Yan Mo’s reaction upon hearing Suo Lun’s name.
After all, they were all alike, mortal enemies of Lord Suo Lun. Learning that he was the one they must now pledge allegiance to would surely be unbearable.
Unexpectedly, Yan Mo merely paused, then lowered his head saying, "Oh, it’s him, my brother in this life. Haha, well, it is what it is."
Crown Prince Lan Tu found it uninteresting and taunted, "When we meet the Demon Emperor, we plan to beat him up before kneeling to pledge allegiance, you in?"
