------------
The majesty of the cross pressed down, Sui Yi stood beneath the coffin, turned to look at the Old Master, the other smiled so brightly, a blossom on his face.
She finally spoke.
"She wouldn’t like cooperating with you... I don’t like it either."
Huh?
Is this a refusal?
The Old Master was taken aback, squinting his eyes, "Are you refusing to save her? Just for such childish reasons?"
"She has been at the White Blade for so many years, never been happy, so why prolong her suffering for greater unhappiness... you should understand she’s not afraid of death."
Sui Yi’s words made the Old Master’s face extrely sullen, "Seeking death is a very cowardly act, it seems you don’t really care for her, or your kind of thinking really doesn’t align with normal people."
After a pause, he said, "Then it seems we have no choice but to fight... I actually don’t want to make a move on you, Sui Yi."
It’s not about personal feelings, just that it’s troubleso.
He was used to solving opponents in the most effortless way.
Unfortunately, it’s not as he wished now.
So standing on the platform, the Old Master slightly clenched his fist, his fingertips fiercely concentrated.
Sui Yi held the hilt of her long sword at her waist with one hand.
Across a slanted distance of more than ten ters, their breathing gradually synchronized...
In that mont.
Swish!
The Old Master descended like a waterfall, a swath of black shadows swayed from his palm, originally black sand, transford into tiny black flying blades that sliced through the air like chanical switches...
Whiz!
Sui Yi drew out Demon Que, the sword tip pointing at the cold shadows of the waterfall, each point of the sword t a black blade, sparking starlight.
Bang!
Boom boom boom!
The explosions overlapped, completely covering Sui Yi’s figure!
The Old Master was cautious, and did not go down imdiately. Instead, he observed the explosion, saw a black shadow in distress, and was overjoyed, leaping down straight towards the Western-style coffin...
"Is this the coffin of Florence? Such a pitiful overlord." The Old Master stood in front of the cross, he naturally also saw the punitive effect of the chains, but his sympathy was only superficial, now all he needed to do was to open this coffin...
Even without Sui Yi’s help.
"Hmm, how to unlock these chains..." He was about to reach out his hand...
Suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Demon Que rested on his neck.
The Old Master’s expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Ah~ I really don’t like making a move with you, you’re truly full of surprises... I guess now you’re going to kill ? Perhaps you could be nicer to Yi, like interrogating on how to solve TP1."
Sui Yi was noncommittal: "I don’t like forcing others."
"Oh, that’s a good habit, then... what are you going to do!"
The Old Master hadn’t finished speaking when he felt Sui Yi’s hand press against his back, the sword against his neck... directly pushing him onto the chains of that coffin!
No!
When the Old Master’s face and body were directly pressed onto the chains.
Crackle sizzle!
All the remaining current in the chains surged into his body!
Thunder and lightning.
Thin silver-white currents spread across his body, his flesh trembled, muscles twisted on his face...
Sui Yi held Demon Que against his back, watching coldly.
Interestingly, the lightning also spread to Demon Que, but not a single trace could pass through its hilt to her hand.
Sui Yi was always well aware of Demon Que’s special and terrifying nature.
After about a minute.
The skin-scorched Old Master was sent flying by a tap of Demon Que, crashing into the wall, landing, Sui Yi looked at him, sheathed Demon Que, reached out and grasped a chain.
Most of the current had already been absorbed by the Old Master, the remaining bit didn’t affect Sui Yi much, she slowly and thodically pulled off the chains, one by one, finally facing the coffin.
It was a very ordinary Western-style coffin, with no enchantnts on it.
Sui Yi placed her palm on the edge of the coffin lid, fingers hooked on, hesitated for a mont.
In that mont...
Snap!
All the light within the underground chamber went out.
Strangely, the light in this chamber ca from underground minerals, yet the minerals seed to be cursed and dimd.
--Control of matter?
Sui Yi furrowed her brows slightly, vaguely saw a figure appear on the dark cave platform.
Tall, slender.
She knew soone was watching her.
Not the Old Master, who was half-dead and unconscious, but soone else.
That person was hiding in the shadows.
Sui Yi pressed against the coffin lid, softly asked, "Can it be opened?"
This question ca abruptly and eerily.
"You asking ?" The other person’s voice was rough and hoarse, as if it had been burned by fire.
"As its master, I naturally have the obligation to inquire of you..." Sui Yi lowered his eyes, his voice calm.
"You know it’s empty inside, so why bother asking ?" he replied.
"No," Sui Yi turned his head to look at him: "I’m not sure if you’ll need to lie back there in the future, though the possibility is small."
The other laughed, a trembling laugh, like flowers blooming in the air.
"Even I don’t know if I’ll ever return...it can only be determined after I’ve completed so things...as for you, the things you know will create so trouble for ."
Trouble is ant to be resolved.
Sui Yi watched the black figure standing at the edge of the platform looking down on her.
It was dark, even the eyes were unclear, yet it gave an inexplicable chill.
"A Hell Prince of nearly a thousand years, I cannot compete, to kill would be as easy as turning a hand."
Sui Yi paused and then said: "May I ask you one question?"
"Speak."
"How did you survive?"
According to legend, Florence should have burned to ashes with Hellfire Castle, yet he was still alive.
It seed he had taken on another identity.
Among their group.
This point Sui Yi was quite certain, though at present she couldn’t be sure who among them it was.
Florence seed silent for a while, finally saying: "Resentnt, thought."
Resentnt, thought? No, there’s a gap in between.
One is resentnt, the other...thought, hope?
Whose hope?
Sui Yi didn’t ask further, only lanting that Florence must have been an extrely terrifying figure in his day, such a person couldn’t be eliminated by the many White Mages in the United Kingdom, not even the emperor of that dynasty could despite his efforts...
"Leave, no matter what your purpose for coming is, leave," the other suddenly said.
Huh? Not going to kill ?
Sui Yi tilted her head and looked at him.
The other said in a deep voice: "You actually already knew I wouldn’t kill you... you saw through the Yellow Springs Dragon Master was the one who let go..."
"Yes," Sui Yi nodded, "We Chinese people... you have never acted as an assassin."
"I owe him a favor, although we’ve had a transaction in between... but what I’m about to do this ti, he can’t stop it, and neither can you."
Revenge is his thought.
Sui Yi was powerless to stop it, and had no intention of stopping it, it was soone else’s business.
From the very beginning, the other had set up layer upon layer of plans, all for this final step... she was no god, how could she turn the tide.
As for the life and death of others....
If she didn’t do as that person thought, perhaps the consequences would be more severe.
She had experienced that person’s cruelty and ruthlessness before.
Sui Yi lightly pressed her temples.
"I need the Yellow Springs Seal."
"It’s not here, more accurately, it’s above,"
The person pointed upwards with his finger: "Thunder is punishnt, Yellow Springs is repression, it’s up above repressing the entire Hellfire Island, but its most important purpose is not repression, but confinent."
"Confinent?"
"Sothing that has kept lingering on through the years, sothing that keeps that person’s ambitions alive, it can give immortality, make one undying, and even turn one into a devil."
"Now, the successor from the Yi Family of China has probably already collaborated with him to decipher the Yellow Springs Seal."
"Once the Yellow Springs Seal is broken, the seal undone, his army of death will resurrect and bloodwash this nation anew, he will reclaim his throne..."
"All these years, he has never changed."
Who is he?
Who else could it be!
Sui Yi felt a slight headache, "The ga between you is not fun at all."
The person chuckled lowly, "The ga of power and desire is never fun. I lost back then, and my family and thousands of subordinates were buried with , but he won, and yet his situation isn’t much better, still lingering on...."
Paused, his tone suddenly grew sowhat strange, "It’s really strange, why would I tell you so much... you are quite an interesting person, easy to trust."
"Several people have spoken these words to already tonight, should I thank you for your trust?"
"If you’re willing..."
Sui Yi never thought she’d have such a calm conversation with soone who had been dead for nearly a thousand years, and this person seed quite familiar with her, speaking with great equanimity.
This vaguely confird his identity for her, but it wasn’t absolute.
"If I take the Yellow Springs Seal, what will happen?"
"I don’t know."
"Don’t know?"
"The Yellow Springs Seal was set by the Yellow Springs Dragon Master, at that ti I was already in a state of false death, having no reaction at all, and even after all these years, I couldn’t see through the arrangent of this Chinese powerhouse, neither could he, so he had no choice but to invite people from China... maybe you should look into it yourself."
Florence folded his hands, his voice deepening slightly, "But I think the worst that can happen is fulfilling that person’s wishes."
Army resurrected, reclaiming the land, vying for dominance over the United Kingdom again...
Sui Yi raised an eyebrow, "Then I can only hope that you and your collaborator can successfully thwart his sche, and also hope your arrangents do not conflict with my goals, I don’t wish to be your enemy."
"In this regard, my attitude aligns with yours," he said calmly.
As Sui Yi turned to leave, she heard the person add from behind.
"At that ti, the Yellow Springs Dragon Master seed to have said sothing to ." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian) with recomndations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
