Chapter 795: That Sword……
Liu Shuqin was simply too stubborn, stubborn to a degree that was incomprehensible to Lin Nuo.
She wanted to drag him back onto the right path, no matter what.
Moreover, she knew way too much. The events of the previous life she spoke of matched too closely, which was truly bizarre—it made one suspect she had peeked at the script.
And that was the crux of it. Where did this script come from? There must be a source, and that silver ring she bought before was that source. According to her, it was the ring that transmitted the information.
This was strange. Why on earth would the ring randomly transmit this information to her? It didn’t make sense.
The more Lin Nuo thought about it, the more perplexed he became, completely touching on a blind spot of knowledge. Even as a well-read villain, he couldn’t explain it.
Could it be the reason was that pair of rings?
After all, it was the matching pair of rings he had bought with Liu Shuqin.
Could it be that the ring on Liu Shuqin’s hand was receiving his experiences through the one he wore?
Whoa, that would be shocking—this was the memory ring of the divine artifact, stealing memories!
Why hadn’t he heard of this in the last life?
He had really overlooked it.
“Your delusions are quite severe and need treatment. I suggest you not go out, return to Huan Tian City, and stay home to recuperate. Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
“Junior Martial Brother, actually in my past life, I died in Wutu City. But my soul did not vanish; I lingered in the human realm because of my fixation on the world’s safety, so I could not reincarnate for a long time. But over time, it would affect me and delay my reincarnation. It was only because of your aura nearby that I was preserved.”
“What?”
Lin Nuo heard something ridiculous again.
Wait, do I also have passive ghost protection?
Not only a Demon Ruler but also a Ghost King?
Wow, how many ridiculous passive traits do I have? Is there also a near-death burst ability?
“What’s going on? A ghost? I preserved you?”
I, a dignified Demon Ruler, have exploded souls and killed several groups of people; if a ghost was beside me…
No, indeed there was a blank period between her death and my mastery of soul explosion. If her soul was around me, I wouldn’t have detected it.
So, a ghost really stuck close to me? How eerie, I was just casually joking about it.
So, I am constantly being spied on?
Crap, thinking back, I was such a naive fool before I jumped into the Magic Spring, how many foolish things did I do in private? Did all of that get witnessed?
And what about when I’m taking a bath?
This is terrifying to contemplate.
“Yes, because you preserved me, I did not become a wandering soul too long and disperse. Therefore, I know things about you. However, these memories were not all transmitted to me, just some important parts. Just like human memory, one cannot remember everything. It’s the same reasoning. I only know a few key things: Junior Martial Brother, you will fall into darkness and kill countless innocent people.”
“Is it that strong? Then can you tell me what my final outcome is?” Lin Nuo countered.
“Destruction,” Liu Shuqin said.
“How did I die?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.
“Um… for now, I haven’t received that information… Moreover, by the time your demonic cultivation is flourishing, I will already have departed from you, after all, high-level demonic techniques can destroy souls.”
“You seem to know quite a bit. I had no idea high-level demonic techniques were that strong,” Lin Nuo remarked.
Wow, you didn’t even see Sister Su.
This really feels like a protagonist moment; you see my script but miss Sister Su’s.
“So, even if you can see, how did this get transferred over? Do you have skills to independently control reincarnation?” Lin Nuo questioned.
“There’s a master helping, and he embedded this memory into the ring.”
“Who?”
“Sorry, I cannot say. After all, he is willing to share this information with me.”
“Is it the one selling things in Huan Tian City? Can it be that coincidental?”
Lin Nuo’s mind was sharp; he quickly made the deduction.
He always felt that he was no ordinary person, selling all sorts of bizarre things.
Looking at it this way, this incident might really be true.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t explain everything Liu Shuqin saw.
Now the question arises.
If her silver ring brought the visions, what about his ring? What did it bring?
Nothing at all.
Liu Shuqin froze for a moment and replied:
“Not that, Junior Martial Brother.”
“Alright, it’s no longer important.”
Lin Nuo shook his head, nonchalantly saying,
“Even if what you said is true, what can you change? Can you persuade me to turn back just with words?”
“I hope so. But, I feel it won’t succeed.”
“Then why did you try?”
“Because, I have no other way… The days of solitude, slaughter, and bloodshed shouldn’t be what you experience.”
“Just drop it.”
Lin Nuo shook his head, with a hint of disdainful smile,
“Do not impose on others what you do not desire yourself. Where did you learn your sage teachings? Do you find it appropriate to force your views onto others?”
“This…”
Liu Shuqin was momentarily speechless; when genuinely sparring with Lin Nuo, she truly held no advantage.
After all, Lin Nuo was just typically uninterested in debating and often indulged her.
“Without experiencing others’ hardships, how can you preach kindness? I won’t go into details here. You’ve never gone through what I have; imposing your preconceptions onto me, what’s there to discuss? You speak of these hardships only after experiencing them.”
Lin Nuo said dismissively, then turned to leave.
“Junior Martial Brother.”
“Make sure to evacuate your people. As you can see, this place will perish, turning barren, and the demonic path will run rampant across the land. That is an unchangeable fact. The Heavenly Way, even if you know it, you cannot reverse it.”
“But Junior Martial Brother, if you take this path, you’ll only head toward destruction, perhaps suffering for many lifetimes. And you also know, you do have a choice, turning back will mean no longer walking the path of destruction. And you returning to this life is to change, right?”
“I aim to change. But it’s not the kind of change you think.”
“Junior Martial Brother…”
“Alright, let’s wrap this up.”
Lin Nuo turned back, lifting that sharp sword towards Liu Shuqin,
“It’s easy to get a sword stained with blood, including yours.”
His words instantly became cold, and then he let go; the sword soared into the air as he stood on it.
Flying on the sword, this blade was remarkably powerful, and he no longer feared a crash.
Now that I think about it, this sword really does have its merits; no need for refunds.
“Take care of yourself.”
With that, Lin Nuo elegantly rode the sword away, truly like a youthful sword immortal, carefree and graceful.
“Junior Martial Brother…”
Liu Shuqin clutched her chest, increasingly heart-wrenched; was everything truly irreversible now?
At this moment, the Demon Spirit watching Lin Nuo leave with such grace trembled slightly.
It wasn’t because Lin Nuo’s presence frightened her but because of that sword.
That sword seemed capable of slaughtering all demons in the world.
A person like that falling into darkness?
You must be joking?
