Chapter 1665: The "Devil's" Visit

At this moment, all the clues were connected in Chen Ling's mind. He looked at Jiang Xiaohua, who had said that sentence calmly, and was stunned on the spot...

He never expected that Jiang Xiaohua, who had always been silent and had a very low sense of presence, was actually the one who had spanned two worlds together with the Fifth Red King and the Gray King.

"Then... why didn't you mention it before?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.

"...Mention what?" Jiang Xiaohua was a bit confused.

"That you came from the previous world and the Fourth Red King was your friend."

Jiang Xiaohua scratched his head, seemingly unable to understand Chen Ling's meaning. He didn't understand why this was worth mentioning... and besides, no one had ever asked him about these things?

If no one asked, why mention it?

Chen Ling saw that Jiang Xiaohua didn't think it was necessary to say this at all, and sighed in his heart... This guy's brain circuit was indeed not quite the same as a normal person's.

"Are you and the Fourth Red King very close?"

"We were good friends." Jiang Xiaohua thought for a while and added, "Just like we are now."

"No wonder when we were at the Emperor Path Ancient Treasury, even though it was our first time meeting, you trusted me so much... and kept following us."

At that time, Chen Ling actually had some doubts. After all, Jiang Xiaohua's appearance was a bit suspicious, and they had only chatted simply and said "we are now considered companions," and Jiang Xiaohua had obediently followed them... Chen Ling had even secretly guarded against him for a long time. But after they got to know each other, he found that Jiang Xiaohua just had this inexplicable personality, so he didn't think too deeply about it.

But now it seems that Jiang Xiaohua's easy trust in him probably had other factors...

After all, his appearance was exactly the same as the Fourth Red King's.

"So the curse on your body..."

"I took the initiative to help him share it." Jiang Xiaohua lowered his head, looking at the curse mark on his body. "He had several curses like this on him... He was in too much pain, and I wanted to help him."

Chen Ling subconsciously frowned:

"He had several?"

The Fourth Red King, that is, Yao, possessed the power of Nuo... Chen Ling himself also had this ability. Although he was certainly not as proficient as Yao, he knew very well that the stronger this power was exerted, the greater the price paid.

Whether it was [I will always feel pain, I will always remember sorrow, I will never forget] on Jiang Xiaohua, or [I will always be imprisoned in self, I will always be accompanied by despair, I will always remember loneliness] on Chen Ling himself, they had already brought them great pain...

And the Fourth Red King actually had several such curses on him at the same time...

How did he persist?

And Jiang Xiaohua had even taken the initiative to share one for him... Chen Ling could imagine that if the curses on the Fourth Red King overlapped to a terrifying degree, then [I will always feel pain, I will always remember sorrow, I will never forget] would definitely be the curse that doubled all pain.

Perhaps it was precisely because Jiang Xiaohua shared one for him that the Fourth Red King was able to continue to persist, cultivate the Fifth Red King, and give the world a chance to continue... In a sense, Jiang Xiaohua's kindness invisibly saved humanity once.

"Then how did you come to this world?" Chen Ling asked again.

"He said his younger brother would take good care of me, and told me to trust his younger brother... then, he stepped onto that meteor and disappeared." Jiang Xiaohua paused for a moment. "Later, I just hid in a place and didn't go out... until his younger brother appeared and told me it was time to go to the next world."

"Then... I came."

"So, from the first time the Red Star crossed until now, you have lived in this world for more than three hundred years?" Chen Ling looked at Jiang Xiaohua, seemingly having imagined this guy finding a cave to bury himself in, and then not moving for hundreds of years. "During this time, you didn't do anything?"

"...Not exactly." Jiang Xiaohua lowered his eyes. "A few years ago, I went to kill someone..."

"Was it an enemy?"

"Hmm... in the previous world, he was the one who made me like this."

Chen Ling looked at the white-haired "freak" in front of him, who had no internal organs, no heartbeat, and was wrapped in bandages, and nodded slightly. "He deserved to die."

While speaking, the outline of the city was getting closer and closer to everyone.

Chen Ling didn't let Wu Yi continue forward; after all, its target was too large. Chen Ling led everyone to jump back to the ground and walked straight toward the Tianxue Domain.

……

"Lord Hongchen."

"This is the death toll statistics within the domain for this week... please take a look."

Lu Liangren hesitated for a long time before handing over the document in his hand.

Behind the desk, a figure with exhausted eyes slowly raised her hand and took the document.

Lord Hongchen's gaze swept over the document, and when she finally saw the string of numbers at the bottom, her pupils shrank slightly... Then she put the document back on the desk and closed her eyes silently.

I don't know how much time passed before she spoke again:

"I see."

"The Lingxu Domain is no longer sending us messages." Lu Liangren paused for a moment. "I heard they have completely closed the domain now..."

"Wu Tongyuan is very smart; he knows what I'm thinking."

Lord Hongchen opened her eyes slightly, a flash of firmness in the depths of her eyes. "Although we have known each other for too long and have fought side by side, I... am not Qi Muyun."

Lord Hongchen stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the Tianxue Domain basically remained in a state of post-war disrepair. The repair work had hardly progressed for so long, and now that winter had arrived, the desolate cold wind blew through the domain, adding a bit more twilight.

No one knew what Lord Hongchen was thinking at this moment. Even Lu Liangren, who had followed her all the way from the Hongchen Domain, was seeing this complexity and sadness in Lord Hongchen's eyes for the first time...

He opened his mouth to say something, when suddenly, a figure hurried in.

"Lord Hongchen!"

"Out... outside, there is someone who calls himself Chen Ling and wants to see you."

Hearing the two words "Chen Ling," Lu Liangren's face showed surprise... and the expression of the person who reported the news was one of horror.

The news of Chen Ling assassinating two Nine Lords and slaughtering the entire Cangyun Domain had already spread in the Tianxue Domain. This legendary figure, who had been vaguely whitewashed not long ago, had once again become a nightmare for all the residents of the domains!

This devil just finished slaughtering the Cangyun Domain and came to Tianxue? And came so openly?

What does he want to do???

Unlike Lu Liangren's surprise and the reporter's horror, when Lord Hongchen heard that Chen Ling had come, a faint smile curled at the corner of her mouth...

"Invite him in..."

"No... tell him to meet at the old place tonight."
