"Even if Xie Chong is Zhu Qiansi's descendant, why did his corpse have to be torn into pieces?"
"Shouldn't you respect his body more?"
Faced with Lin Yu's question, Chen Yuanjie, who had already opened the floodgates, paused and continued.
"Rather than respecting the corpse, I care more about… how to revive Zhu Qiansi and Liu Zhen, and bring them back to the world."
"I can't accept that they died unjustly like that, and with such a stain on their names—so, I must bring Liu Zhen and Qiansi back to life," Chen Yuanjie said through gritted teeth, "So, I started acting after that old dog, the Taiqing Ancestor, died… First, I changed 'Liuzhen' to 'Liuzhen,' and then, step by step, I modified the local chronicles of Liuzhen, so that its past would begin to be confused with Liuzhen in people's minds."
"After that, I started constantly arranging things in Liuzhen, laying down karma threads for the people of Liuzhen."
"At the same time… I also made Xie Chong, this descendant of Qiansi, famous whether in life or in death—which also means that he has connections with most people in the Prison Mountain Realm."
"Until more and more people are connected to Qiansi, enough to reach a certain number—that is, today's fame and quantity, then use Xie Chong's remains to attract them all to the new 'Liuzhen'… Then, both Qiansi and Liuzhen can be resurrected through the method of 'Karma Divine Power!'"
"Only a part of the remains is enough to be stable, but if there are two pieces… the effect will be better!"
Xuan Yunzi exclaimed, "Are you crazy? The people of Liuzhen all died back then!"
"But Qiansi didn't die," Chen Yuanjie roared again, "Just like me—the consciousness of all of them is stored in the karma threads by Qiansi—as long as Qiansi is resurrected, Liuzhen will be resurrected!"
"So… only one step is left, as long as Xie Chong's remains reach Liuzhen!"
Hearing this, whether it was Lin Yu and his group of three, or the Snow Owl trio, they suddenly understood what their mission's "Arrive at Liuzhen" and "Prevent Liuzhen from appearing" meant.
Lin Yu supported his forehead: "Oh dear… Oh dear! We really went a long way around!"
Li Nian also reacted: "So, this [Instance] was originally a very simple defense centered around 'Xie Chong's Remains'… We follow the escort team to send his remains to Liuzhen, and then Liuzhen will automatically appear, and then we will have cleared the level."
"Similarly, the three people over there only need to grab these remains and destroy them to succeed… right?"
As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu nodded in pain.
"I'm sorry, this time it's my fault… I made things complicated."
Although Lin Yu was already used to most of his [Instances] not being very normal, as Li Nian said, this [Instance] actually had a "normal" and "simple" solution.
He looked at the employer 'Flying Knife' and apologized again: "I'm sorry, I made things complicated."
Flying Knife was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I wouldn't have made it without you… Maybe I can get a [Peeling the Cocoon] or something… because I also know the whole truth."
"Besides, isn't it very easy for us to clear the level now… We have no conflict of interest with this… this senior who survived Liuzhen, we just need to give him the remains and go to Liuzhen together, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Chen Yuanjie nodded and said, "That's right, it seems that there are still some sensible and smart people among you outsiders!"
He looked at Flying Knife with relief, and then looked at Lin Yu.
"It seems that we have no more questions between us, then let's have a pleasant cooper…"
"Bang!"
Chen Yuanjie was shot in the forehead and slowly fell down.
Lin Yu put away his revolver and said calmly, "Too much nonsense, who wants to cooperate with you."
Flying Knife was startled: "What are you doing?"
"Of course, I'm doing the right thing—after spending so much effort to find a way to clear the level together, wouldn't taking a shortcut now be a waste of all previous efforts?"
Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the dejected Xuan Yunzi and the dumbfounded Snow Owl trio.
"You guys have been fooled by him, right? Do you really think that Zhu Qiansi is innocent—the Taiqing Ancestor killed her three hundred and fifty years ago, and then three hundred and fifty years later, she can just use 'Karma Threads' to kill people? Putting aside everything else… the people from Chenjiabao and the Jinfu Escort Agency are acting with me, do they deserve to sacrifice their lives for her, a spider, to be cleared of injustice?"
"That Xie Chong is still her descendant, isn't it just pure bad luck to have such a spider great-great-great-grandmother? Oh, everyone is harming me, so I don't care, I have to betray everyone in the world—if this ghost, who thinks she's justified, had just gone to the Taiqing Sect and fought your ancestor and slaughtered your Taiqing Sect, although I wouldn't support it because the Taiqing Sect people don't seem to know much… but at least you could say it's a case of having a grievance and a debtor, right?"
"Bastard!"
Another new puppet's shouting and scolding came from outside the door.
"Oh, the reconnection is quite fast, did you hear that?"
Lin Yu looked at the outside of the door with a sneer: "Brother, you can deceive people, but don't really think that you and your master are innocent good demons and good people who are being persecuted by the whole world… They can't hear it, but I can hear the Spring and Autumn Annals writing—Zhu Qiansi was 'kind-hearted' in Liuzhen, so what was she like before Liuzhen?"
Although Lin Yu didn't know what happened back then, he could hear the loopholes in the other party's words.
Just like Xuan Yunzi said that something was wrong, although this "Chen Yuanjie" was saying something opposite to Xuan Yunzi, it didn't mean that what he said was correct or true.
"Although the Taiqing Ancestor may have sins, the… Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord may not be clean either. You just said that she has been living in Liuzhen and has no time to harm people, which is untenable. A thousand-year-old demon secretly runs out to harm people every day, and you a bunch of idiots in the town can keep an eye on her? Besides, with that Karma Thread divine power, it's not difficult to kill people thousands of miles away—millions of people in Liuzhen, seven or eight out of ten have been affected by Karma Threads, which is seven or eight hundred thousand—is this something that a few thousand living souls can use? Then the consumption of this skill is too low… If the consumption is so low, why are you so uncomfortable now to gather living souls for her?"
"Of course… you may also be like Xuan Yunzi, deceived by his ancestor, just being kept in the dark. After all, Zhu Qiansi is a great demon who has transformed and cultivated for who knows how many years, playing with you pure little human children from the town is like playing with a dog, isn't it?"
Li Nian also nodded: "If you ask me, this Taiqing Ancestor really has no problem—just now these spiders all over the mountains and plains were chasing people and gnawing, what good bird could this Zhu Qiansi be? At least she should have had an affair… Her descendants, like Xie Chong, look like humans, but with so many spider-sized wheels, who did she have them with?"
Lin Yu and Li Nian sang in harmony, and the dark shadow outside the door could no longer bear it: "You two bastards, die!"
The dark shadow rushed towards the Taoist temple, Lin Yu raised Xie Chong's remains, and then lit the torch: "If you move again, I will light these two remains!"
Although Xie Chong's remains were extremely strong, the pale flames in Lin Yu's hand exuded a natural aura of fear, which did stop all those puppets.
"Why are you still standing there, Taoist priest—what methods have you prepared for that Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord all these years?"
"And you three… do you still want to clear the level? If you continue like this, I'll throw it to the spiders!"
Xuan Yunzi finally reacted when he heard Lin Yu say this.
"Immediately, immediately!"
The old Taoist hurriedly took out a pile of talismans and began to arrange them.
The Snow Owl trio also took action, and they all began to pull out weapons to prepare for the enemy.
Seagull, who was taking out his notebook, sighed and opened his mouth.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm a kebab, being reversed back and forth every day… Which side is the good guy after all?"
"The world is not black and white, there will always be black and white opposition…"
Lin Yu looked at Seagull and said seriously.
And Seagull, hearing this, chimed in again: "Do you mean that there is also gray in this world?"
"No, I mean that there may also be a black eat black, dog eat dog situation where both sides have problems."
