"Telling you is no problem, Xiao Tianyi is Ye Liangchen"
Chen Mo's casual remark shocked Long Fei Wu and Pei Jiangnan instantly. Who is Ye Liangchen? They were all too clear—the man who had once killed Chen Mo.
Although three hundred years have passed, the two still firmly remember this name in their hearts. Pei Jiangnan remembers it because he was afraid in front of that person; while Long Fei Wu remembers it because that person killed Chen Mo.
Compared to Pei Jiangnan and Long Fei Wu, the others like Yun Chunsong were utterly confused, as this name was somewhat unfamiliar to them.
"This is impossible"
After a moment of astonishment, Pei Jiangnan blurted out a sentence without thinking, identical to the words that Fu Bo heard at the time.
Long Fei Wu reacted slightly as well. She had also heard some about Ye Liangchen. Back then, the other party had nearly approached her with the strength of a second-grade cultivator. But thinking about the fact that this person had killed Chen Mo, she did not hold him in high regard and had even once thought of avenging Chen Mo.
However, in the end, it was put down by Long Ling on the grounds of upholding the greater good. She was helpless and expelled the other party from the Tianlong Imperial Court.
Later, she heard about Ye Liangchen's death and even specifically asked Pei Jiangnan, who had confirmed the identity, for some information.
Chen Mo lifted his gaze slightly, fixating on the two with an air of having anticipated it, "How impossible? Even a dead man like me can stand before you alive after three hundred years. Don't you think it's possible for Ye Liangchen to come back to life?"
"Oh..."
The crowd fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Pei Jiangnan pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "I admit there are arts in the world that can revive the dead and turn white bones to flesh, but, Xiao Tianyi is clearly not the same person as Ye Liangchen; their strength and appearance are different. Brother Chen, your strength was only at the ninth level three hundred years ago, and now you are so powerful that it's hard to fathom. This kind of advancement over three hundred years is not impossible. But what about Ye Liangchen? He was a second-grade cultivator three hundred years ago. How could he regress to this level after all these years?"
"Moreover, it's their appearance. Brother Chen, your appearance hasn't changed a bit in the past three hundred years, but Ye Liangchen and Xiao Tianyi are clearly different people..."
"Ha ha, Pei Jiangnan, your explanation is indeed reasonable."
Chen Mo shook his head and smiled lightly, then he said seriously, "But, when did I say that Ye Liangchen had come back to life?"
"What do you mean, Chen brother?"
"It's reincarnation"
With that word spoken, everyone present drew in a sharp breath, staring at Chen Mo in disbelief. Rebirth after death was already miraculous to them, but reincarnation through the cycle of rebirth was unheard of.
The reactions of the crowd were all within Chen Mo's expectations. He smiled lightly and said with ease, "Ye Liangchen's reincarnation needs to be cultivated from infancy, and all the cultivation power of his previous life has been wiped out in this life... Actually, his strength is concealed deep within his soul. It will only appear when he faces danger in this life. Brother Pei, did you find that attack by the white shadow somewhat familiar?"
Pei Jiangnan nodded without hesitation, "The swordplay is very strong, just like the swordplay used by Ye Liangchen that I saw three hundred years ago. The way he attacked you was identical as well."
Long Fei Wu's eyes gradually turned cold, and his hand placed on the stone table tightened into a fist.
"That's right, that white shadow is Ye Liangchen"
Pei Jiangnan inwardly shouted in amazement, explaining why the white shadow was so familiar to him. Some things clicked in his mind, but then he thought of many questions he still hadn't understood, and couldn't help but continue to ask:
"If what Brother Chen says is true, then Miao Tiannan is not Xiao Tianyi... Ye Liangchen's personal disciple, but his subordinate. If that's the case, then why is he so obsessed with the Tianlong Imperial Court? And what is Miao Tiannan's intention to slaughter tens of thousands of civilians in Lin City? Brother Chen, do you know all of this?"
"And also, the imperial fortune."
At this moment, Long Fei Wu couldn't help but interrupt with a comment. She was also filled with curiosity about the matter, her eyes staring at Chen Mo just as they had three hundred years ago.
As things have come to this point, Chen Mo no longer intends to keep anything hidden. These matters, as core members of the Tianlong Imperial Court, Long Fei Wu and Pei Jiangnan should also know.
"Ye Liangchen, wrong, in this life he should be called Xiao Tianyi. His goal is very simple, to become the strongest in Jiuzhou and an immortal. In his previous life, he was a highly skilled Qi Wushu practitioner with his meridians connected and already possessed immortal power. And in this life, he wants to cultivate an immortal body, in other words, refining his body."
"But why, instead of refining his body, did he learn the art of witchcraft and poison?"
"Because the time has not yet come, an immortal body is not that easy to refine. It requires a lot of blood and vitality to supplement it. That's why he needs to continuously cultivate bloodworms, and in doing so, he has to sacrifice tens of thousands of civilians from Lin City. All of this is because the immortal body needs a large amount of blood and vitality."
"As for the imperial fortune, it is the thing that allows the immortal body and soul to completely merge. At that time, his strength will no longer be as weak as his current fourth-grade level, but will become a first-grade powerhouse that shakes the world. On the day of his success, even the Heavenly Master of Tian Shifu, who is called the top cultivator in the world, will not be able to defeat him."
Chen Mo spoke at a steady pace, as if he were describing an ordinary matter. However, to the ears of the others, it was like a thunderbolt that shattered in an ear-splitting explosion.
The information is too much for everyone to absorb at once. They are still slowly digesting it, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
But Pei Jiangnan, pounding a fist on the stone table, "Just for his own selfishness, he wants to sacrifice so many people? Those are tens of thousands of innocent civilians from Lin City! He, he actually has the heart to do it?"
"Not just Lin City."
"Not just Lin City"
Not just tens of thousands...
His voice had barely faded when Pei Jiangnan's scalp began to tingle, and his spine felt cold. He rose angrily to his feet, "Brother Chen, with Xiao Tianyi already gone, we cannot just sit back and watch. We must prevent him from continuing to hurt innocent people."
Chen Mo smiled faintly, looking towards the distant sky, "Brother Pei, you need not worry. I have already made plans for this. I have disintegrated Xiao Tianyi's three trump cards one by one. Now, as long as we find his hiding place, we can set our trap..."
Tianlong Imperial Court, border region
The severely injured Xiao Tianyi slowly regained consciousness, his eyes falling on the darkness around him. He glanced around casually and felt a sharp pain throughout his body. However, compared to before, his body was in much better condition.
From the shadows, a hoarse voice came, "Master, how did you sustain such serious injuries? Could it be Miao Tiannan..."
"This matter has nothing to do with him. It was that Chen Sanzang, or rather, I remember now, his name is Chen Mo. It was all because of him. That damn thing, I didn't expect that the guy I killed three hundred years ago is still alive..."
"And what should we do next?"
Xiao Tianyi looked down and pondered for a moment before he said seriously, "First, kill Chen Mo, then cultivate the bloodworms... Send someone to call Tianfa over. This time, we're going to make a big move."
