"Ian and Aunt Liu were ’killed’ by Feng?"
Ouyang Hao and the others looked at Dongfang Jing in disbelief, their faces showing expressions of shock.
If these words hadn’t co from Dongfang Jing’s mouth, Ouyang Hao might have burst out laughing.
But seeing Dongfang Jing’s expression that didn’t seem like she was joking, everyone’s hearts were filled with heaviness at this mont.
Guo Shaojie hurriedly said:
"Sister Jing, are you mistaken?"
"Let’s not talk about why Feng would ’kill’ them."
"Keep in mind, Feng is in the Nine Netherworld now! How could he kill those two?"
Everyone chid in:
"Exactly!"
"You know Ian’s relationship with Feng; Feng could never lay a hand on him."
Even Zhang Xinying couldn’t help but say:
"Sister Jing, are you wrong?"
"Could there be so misunderstanding here?"
Dongfang Jing looked at the blood trace on Zhang Xinying’s neck and shook her head:
"Initially, I wasn’t sure either."
"But the scar on your neck confird it for ; it was indeed done by him."
Everyone looked incredulously at Lin Yi in the gaming pod.
Even though they felt deep inside that this was impossible.
But since the words ca from Dongfang Jing, they had no choice but to believe it.
Because so far, Dongfang Jing had never told a single lie.
They could even see the seriousness of this matter from Dongfang Jing’s deanor.
Dongfang Jing suddenly looked at everyone and said:
"Before you make a choice, let tell you about sothing else."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a willing-to-listen posture to Dongfang Jing.
Dongfang Jing didn’t keep them in suspense and directly said:
"You might not know that there’s a mysterious sealed array over on the Nine Nether Continent."
"Sealed inside it is the culprit that started the war between the Hundred Races and the Demon Race."
When they heard this, everyone’s hearts tensed.
It was probably the first ti they learned that the battle between the Hundred Races and the Demon Race was caused by a person.
From Dongfang Jing’s implication, it seed this person was still alive.
But who sealed him in the Nine Nether Continent?
Dongfang Jing did not explain it further and directly said:
"If one wants to unlock that seal, a mysterious ’Profound Palace Eight Trigrams Array’ is involved."
"I know that within this Eight Trigrams Array, one test corresponds to the ’Heart Refining Array.’"
"Heart Refining Array?!"
When they heard this term, everyone was visibly stunned.
Clearly, the term was unfamiliar to them.
Dongfang Jing didn’t let their confusion last long and directly said:
"When the person trying to break the array enters the ’Heart Refining Array,’ the array will derive the person closest to them."
"If the array-breaker harms these derived people, the actual person in reality will be correspondingly affected."
Guo Shaojie suddenly reacted and blurted out:
"Sister Jing, you are saying Feng is breaking the array now."
"Because Aunt Liu and Ian are killed in the array, that is why they are comatose."
"Even the wound on Feng’s wife’s neck was caused by Feng?"
The crowd inhaled sharply together at Guo Shaojie’s conclusion.
Dongfang Jing’s silence further verified Guo Shaojie’s speculation, instantly sinking everyone’s hearts.
They did not question why Lin Yi’s actions there affected the real people here, considering it absurd.
Since Lin Yi appeared, too many unbelievable things had happened.
Now, any outlandish occurrence related to Lin Yi didn’t seem strange to them.
Ouyang Hao suddenly said:
"So, Sister Jing, are you planning to forcibly wake Feng?"
Indeed!
The tragic condition of Jade Qilin and the won had long been witnessed by everyone.
No one knew who Lin Yi’s next target might be.
To stop Lin Yi from continuing to ’kill,’ forcibly awakening him from the gaming pod seed the only solution.
But strangely.
Dongfang Jing did not answer Ouyang Hao’s question and stood silent.
Zhang Xinying seed to notice Dongfang Jing’s mood and curiously asked:
"Is there anything else you want to say, Sister Jing?"
Now everyone noticed Dongfang Jing’s sowhat odd expression.
Feeling their gaze, Dongfang Jing suddenly took a deep breath and said:
"As far as I know, no one has broken the ’Heart Refining Array’ yet."
"But if he can, it’ll significantly help him beco a god in the future."
"But if he cannot break the array..."
Yu Na continued:
"Does that an those who he kills will never wake up?"
Dongfang Jing nodded solemnly:
"That’s right."
Then Dongfang Jing quietly looked at everyone:
"So I have to tell you this to make you aware."
"If anyone is afraid of being affected, it’s necessary to force him awake now."
"None of us know who he’ll target next, or whether he can break the array."
By now, everyone understood why Dongfang Jing had gathered them.
If things were as Dongfang Jing described, it ant all their lives were in Lin Yi’s hands.
The miserable state of the woman and Ian served as a precedent.
As everyone was pondering their choices, Zhang Xinying suddenly said:
"I believe in him."
Then Zhang Xinying headed towards the door and said:
"I trust she won’t disappoint ."
Shangguan Yue quickly asked:
"Xinying, where are you going?"
Zhang Xinying replied without looking back:
"Back to my room."
"I don’t want to sleep on the floor."
At this mont, Zhang Xinying’s reaction explained everything.
For Lin Yi’s future, she chose not to forcibly wake him.
Shangguan Yue looked at Lin Yi complicatedly, then gritted her teeth:
"Wait, Xinying! I’m coming with you."
As the two won left, everyone seed to have made their choice as well. Ouyang Hao put his arm behind his head and left:
"I haven’t rested much for playing gas lately; I’m going to catch up on sleep."
Red Eyes Wang Sijie also pulled Wang Zixin along:
"I believe in Brother Feng."
Next was Yu Na, who left without a word or pause.
Then Zhan Chen, Zhan Tianpeng, and Silent Ouyang Jing followed;
Stable as a mountain, Fang Zhengrong sighed and left without saying anything.
Shen Yanhua and Jiang Jiaying exchanged a glance, as tears still glistened on Jiang Jiaying’s face. Without hesitation, she held Shen Yanhua’s arm:
"I trust Brother Feng too, let’s go."
As everyone made their choice, not a single person chose to forcibly wake Lin Yi.
Dongfang Jing watched this with no surprise on her face.
As if she had known this would be the result all along.
Until only Dongfang Jing remained in the room, Dongfang Jing carefully placed Jade Qilin Ian on the bed, then murmured to the sky outside the window:
"Hope you’re right."
...
...
"Do it!"
In front of the courtyard of Lin Yi’s villa, ’Zhang Xinying’ looked at the longsword already pressed against his chest and mocked Lin Yi:
"What, still can’t pull the trigger?"
Originally, Lin Yi looked furious, but suddenly he put down the longsword and said with interest:
"You’ve been trying to provoke so I’d kill you."
"You really think I’m that foolish?"
’Zhang Xinying’ glared at Lin Yi, full of wrath:
"You!"
Lin Yi looked around at the familiar surroundings, pondering:
"’Death Gate’ should correspond to death."
"But sotis death ans rebirth..."
Suddenly, Lin Yi pressed the Emperor’s Charm Sword against his abdon, ’Zhang Xinying’ watched in horror:
"What are you doing!"
