But that was more than enough to catch up to a re incarnation of the Eye of Truth.
Damn it, how can this sword have the aura of a Blood Demon? Has he already partnered with Long Tianji? the Eye of Truth thought, wanting to curse up a storm.
The Blood Ancestor fud internally. What the hell?! You're the one who partnered up with that bastard! Your whole family partnered up with him!
SWISH!
The flying sword pierced through Shatana, completely obliterating her eyeballs and the eye pattern on her wrist. A massive amount of National Destiny Power then washed over her body, cleansing her repeatedly as if disinfecting her. This imdiately severed her connection with the Eye of Truth, causing its incarnation to be ejected from her body.
It transford into a little girl with pigtails. Where her facial features should have been, there were only blinking eyes that seed to speak. "Wait, don't you want to know the secret of the Lin Family? I can..."
As it spoke, it tried to stall Lin Tang while secretly preparing to make a move.
Lin Tang didn't pause for even a mont.
With another flash of his sword, he completely annihilated the incarnation.
「In a distant pocket of space.」
The true body of the Eye of Truth howled in anger, zipping around frantically for a very long ti before gradually regaining its composure.
"The Yin Yang Mirror... I must obtain it! Only through it can I cultivate the path of a Ghost Immortal, reincarnate as a human, and escape this madness... I really, really can't hold on much longer!"
「The Human Realm.」
Lin Tang glanced at Shatana. The flying sword's protection had spared her from being ground into nothingness by the spatial rift. After a mont's thought, he brought her back to the physical world but didn't heal her eyes.
Her eyeballs were completely gone, leaving only hollow, dark sockets. No matter how beautiful her other features were, her appearance was now severely marred. Any ordinary person who saw her would feel their scalp tingle with terror.
Lin Tang used the flying sword to dump her on a street corner, then secretly retracted it.
"Music, continue! Let's get on with the wedding!"
"Right away!"
The guests wiped the bloody tears from their faces, their hearts still pounding with fear. That was too close… We almost went blind for real! But these were all important figures. Their composure and resilience were far beyond those of ordinary people. Soon, they were chatting and laughing again, as if no incident had ever occurred.
The rest of the wedding ceremony proceeded without any further mishaps.
「After the guests had departed.」
Lin Tang's true self and his Dharma Body secretly switched places, unbeknownst to anyone. After all, when it ca to the bridal chamber, he had to take matters into his own hands. Did they really think I was just here as a guest to watch my own wedding?
He didn't forget to send a teasing telepathic ssage to the Yin Yang Mirror hidden inside him. "Hey, Granny, you tried to hide it, but I figured out what you are, huh? The Yin Yang Mirror... Tsk tsk, that sounds pretty powerful."
The Yin Yang Mirror seed to turn over, not wanting to deal with him.
"Little Yin Yin, today is our wedding," Lin Tang pressed on. "Shouldn't you give a little congratulatory gift?"
"What, Little Yin Yin? That sounds awful!"
"How about Little Yang Yang?"
"Get lost!"
"Little Mirror?"
"...What present do you want?"
"What exactly is the Lin Family's secret? Tell , please?"
"Eh? How did you guess that I would know your family's secret?"
"Duh. The Eye of Truth specifically wanted you and tempted with the Lin Family's secret. Plus, you've been shalessly hiding in my body. With all those clues, you think I wouldn't put two and two together?"
The Yin Yang Mirror fell silent for a mont before speaking. "Since it's co to this, so be it. I'll tell you directly! The secret of your Lin Family... is actually ."
It turned out that about twenty years ago, when Lin Tang was still a fetus, his father, Lin Jianyi, had a fortuitous encounter. By a stroke of luck, he spirited the Yin Yang Mirror away from Shen Youling... no, that's not right, it was Xi nghan. He took it from Xi nghan's tomb. At the ti, he didn't know how mysterious it was, only that it was an ancient antique with value for both collection and research.
Soon after he brought it ho, the Yin Yang Mirror mysteriously disappeared. Though puzzled for a ti, he eventually decided to put it out of his mind.
But he never could have imagined what would happen next. On the day Lin Tang was born, he discovered that the Yin Yang Mirror erged from his wife's womb right along with his son. Lin Tang's tiny infant hand was tightly clutching the similarly miniaturized Yin Yang Mirror.
"Holy crap... I really am the second Jia Baoyu, aren't I?" Lin Tang's eyes widened.
It all matched up. This was exactly what Qiu Yuxian had described before. So this was the unknown treasure she spoke of!
"So, you're saying you're the one who brought ruin to my Lin Family?!" Lin Tang's tone was unreadable.
The Yin Yang Mirror didn't know how to respond. Possessing a treasure invites disaster. It has always been so.
For so reason, during its telling, the mirror omitted the detail that Lin Jianyi had taken it from Xi nghan's tomb. Therefore, Lin Tang still had no idea that the Yin Yang Mirror actually had a much deeper connection to Shen Youling. He didn't know it was the most crucial artifact for restoring her mories from each of her past lives.
"If it could have kept my family safe, I would rather have never obtained you," Lin Tang sighed deeply. What a bullshit Immortal Artifact. So what if it's powerful and mysterious? It's not worth a single hair on my family's heads!
"Don't take your anger out on ," the Yin Yang Mirror muttered. "It was your parents who were careless and exposed my existence. It wasn't who hard them."
"Bullshit! Why did you burrow into my mom's belly and get born along with ? Yin Yang Mirror, your na contains 'Yang.' You must have coveted my Supre Yang Body! You probably even wanted to possess , to turn from a dead object into a human. Was that your dream?"
"You're the one spouting bullshit!" The Yin Yang Mirror was truly furious. "I am a dignified Immortal Artifact! Immortal and eternal! Why would I ever need to beco a frail, short-lived human? You're the shaless one! Even as a fetus, you were insatiably greedy. You sensed the massive amount of Supre Yang Energy I had stored. While I was dormant, you forcefully dragged to you and drained completely dry! If it weren't for , do you really think a Supre Yang Body like yours wouldn't have perished at birth from heaven's envy? You think you could have reached the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly on such thin Spiritual Energy if I hadn't given you an incredibly stable foundation? In your dreams!"
