Chapter 328 Past Events of Taiyuan 14
"Sacrifice the soul?"
Sang Ye was struck dumb after hearing Ling Yi's words.
Seeing her shocked expression, Ling Yi didn't speak immediately, giving her time to process it.
After a long silence, Sang Ye finally spoke: "No wonder you said I have no way to repay your kindness."
After speaking, Sang Ye looked up at Ling Yi, her resolute expression replacing her previous shock: "Miss, if I were to sacrifice myself, could I truly protect my people?"
“Hmm.” Ling nodded: “Since Taiyuan left the Destiny Stone as a way out, he won’t let you take over without knowing anything. Once your soul is bound to the Destiny Stone, you will know what to do.”
“Alright,” Sangye said, “I am willing to offer sacrifice, but…”
Sang Ye looked at Ling Yi with a look of guilt in her eyes: "But in this way, I will not be able to repay your kindness. Your kindness to the ancient clan is as heavy as a mountain. I cannot repay this kindness, but I will tell the clan members to remember it."
"Hmm." Ling Yi responded indifferently, without saying anything more.
Sacrifices cannot be performed on enemy weapons.
Ling Yi placed the Destiny Stone on his forehead and began to absorb its power. Once he had absorbed enough power, Ling Yi gripped the bone knife, flew to the top of the black tower, and slashed down fiercely.
The black tower trembled, and a crack appeared where the bone knife fell. Ling Yi lowered his eyes to look at the mulberry leaves below and stretched out his hand: "Come."
A double image flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, Sang Ye appeared below Ling Yi and grabbed Ling Yi's hand.
Ling Yi put away the bone knife and went out through the crack.
Outside the Black Tower.
When the woman saw Ling Yi come out, her eyes were filled with shock: "How could this be?"
She had lost most of her power and had also been injured and exhausted a lot of her power in the battle with A Wu. How could she still break through the Black Tower?
The woman was shocked, and Yuan Wu was just as shocked. Seeing Ling Yi leave, he immediately wanted to chase after her, but just as Yuan Wu was about to catch up, Ling Yi grabbed the dagger and pulled it. After the dagger was stained with blood, he grabbed Sang Ye's wrist and swung it. A dazzling golden light suddenly flew out and rushed straight towards Yuan Wu.
Upon seeing the golden light, Yuan Wu immediately swung his spear, unleashing a burst of power in an attempt to break through it.
"boom!"
The two forces collided, and golden light instantly shattered the source of power, attacking him.
Upon seeing this, the woman's expression suddenly changed: "A-Wu!"
The instant the force struck, Yuan Wu held his spear horizontally in front of him, creating a barrier that blocked the incoming power, but...
"puff"
The power was too strong, and Yuan Wu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, causing cracks to appear in the barrier he had created.
"Awu, retreat!" Just then, a woman's voice rang out.
Without any hesitation, Yuan Wu immediately retreated.
With a loud boom, the black tower pressed down, trapping Yuan Wu within it. The force that had been chasing Yuan Wu landed on the black tower. The black tower, which had already been breached by Ling Yi, now suffered another blow. The woman's face paled considerably, and a trace of crimson blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
The woman casually wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and retrieved the black tower.
"How are you?" Yuan Wu put away his spear and walked over quickly, looking at the woman with concern and asking her a question.
"Not bad," the woman replied, then looked ahead, only to find Ling Yi gone. She frowned and looked at Yuan Wu: "That power just now, that's the one we've been looking for. After searching for so long, it has finally appeared."
Yuan Wu's expression was not good: "It was because of Yuan Yi's appearance."
"It is related to Source One."
Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent for a moment before speaking: "If Yuan Yi is related to it, it means that Yuan Yi and Xiao Xin's return to Eternal Night was intentional..."
At this point, the woman gave a wry smile: "Xiao Xin probably won't be able to accept it."
"We have to accept it, even if it's hard to accept." Yuan Wu's voice was colder than before: "Since Yuan Yi is related to it, we should take down Yuan Yi and use it to lure it out."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy." The woman's expression was not good: "There's something strange about Yuan Yi's situation. After severely injuring the Source Master, she also lost most of her own power. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have been able to break through the Black Tower easily, but she did."
Yuan Wudao: "Let's go find Yuehua first."
The woman nodded and said nothing more.
On the other side, after Ling Yi unleashed that power, he quickly left with Sang Ye, appearing in a dense forest.
Ling Yi released the mulberry leaf and then took out the Destiny Stone.
“Miss…” Sang Ye looked at the wound on Ling Yi’s palm and wanted to suggest bandaging it first, but Ling Yi just shook her head to signal her to be quiet, so Sang Ye had no choice but to remain silent.
Ling Yi took out the Destiny Stone, wrapped it with his injured hand, and let the blood soak into the Destiny Stone.
The blood that entered the Destiny Stone transformed into a red thread, and after a while, a wisp of soul slowly emerged along the red thread.
Once the soul thread emerged from the Destiny Stone, Ling Yi took out the Taiyuan Seal and guided the soul thread into it. As the soul thread entered the Taiyuan Seal, the Taiyuan Seal, which had previously failed to react to various methods, began to glow.
Upon witnessing this scene, Sang Ye exclaimed in shock, "The Taiyuan Seal is the key to the late Venerable One's tomb. Could that soul thread just now have been the late Venerable One's?"
"Hmm." Ling Yi responded, took out the Destiny Stone, stared at it for a while, and stored his memories after waking up into it.
After doing all this, Ling Yi handed the Destiny Stone to Sang Ye: "Pierce the dagger into your heart and put the Destiny Stone in. That will complete the binding. You will learn about the rest from the Destiny Stone."
Sang Ye looked at the small stone. Before, she couldn't bear to feel it for long. After the sacrifice, her soul should disappear soon.
When the soul disappears, it disappears completely.
Even knowing she would disappear completely, Sang Ye did not hesitate. She raised the dagger and firmly plunged it into her heart. Then she pulled out the dagger and looked at Ling Yi: "Please, young lady, see me off on my final journey."
Ling Yi lowered his eyes and personally placed the Destiny Stone into the heart of the mulberry leaf.
Sang Ye looked at Ling Yi and smiled, "Thank you, young lady."
Ling Yi withdrew his hand and looked at her: "Let's go."
"Okay." Sangye nodded, then asked, "And you, young lady?"
As the mulberry leaves fell, the light from the Taiyuan Seal formed a door.
Ling Yi said, "I should go inside now."
Sang Ye glanced at the door, then looked at Ling Yi: "Miss, this is our parting today, and we will never meet again. I wish you all the best."
Ling looked at her, as if she had something to say, but in the end she said nothing and stepped into the Taiyuan Seal Gate.
As Ling Yi stepped into the Taiyuan Seal Gate, his divine sense was ejected, and he was plunged into darkness.
Ling Yi stood in the darkness, thinking that the Destiny Stone had finished showing her what it wanted her to see, and was about to leave when a glimmer of light appeared in front of her.
The light was faint, but it was very conspicuous in the darkness. Ling squinted and walked towards the light.
Stepping into the light, Ling Yi saw Sang Ye again, but in just a short while, Sang Ye was very different from before.
She has no physical body, her soul is faint, and she is about to dissipate.
Sang Ye stood in front of a mirror, but her reflection was not visible. Ling Yi stood behind her, quietly listening to Sang Ye talking to herself in the mirror.
“Girl, after we parted, I followed the method left by the late Venerable One and transformed the Destiny Stone into a new residence for the ancient clan. However, the late Venerable One said that the Destiny Stone is not a unique existence, and given the strength of the True God, it is not appropriate to leave it in the Divine Land. It would be best to go to the Nine Domains and Seventeen Provinces. I followed the late Venerable One’s words and came to the Nine Domains and Seventeen Provinces, choosing the Longevity Marsh.”
"Girl, I'm about to disappear."
“Girl, I have given your portrait to Asheng and instructed the clansmen to pass it down well. If they ever see you again, they must repay your kindness.”
"Girl, I've seen you!" Mulberry Leaf, standing before the mirror, exclaimed excitedly, "I wonder if I'm hallucinating because I've missed you so much?"
“Young lady, it’s not an illusion. I really saw you. I also saw the late Venerable One. I don’t know why I was able to see you, but you seemed unable to see me. But it’s alright. It’s already very good to be able to see you again.”
"Girl..." With a soft sigh, the person in front of the mirror vanished completely.
As the mulberry leaves dissipated, darkness returned to the world.
