Chapter 311: Chapter 180 Ni Chang_2

But his master must also have a monumental secret he was keeping from him!

Zhou Yan’s intelligence, Zhou Yan’s scheming, had all greatly increased after the return of his True Self, even those Old Monsters could at best only stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Feigned truth or to be precise, deceiving someone with pure truth, was the cruelest strategy.

At that moment, he lied to Ling He with the truth because Zhou Yan needed to dig out every secret he wanted to know.

Zhou Yan felt that this matter was extremely important!

"What, you—you—you... Your memory has been sealed, even if you awaken your True Self, it’s impossible to remember..."

Careless, Ling He was pressured by Zhou Yan’s aura and inadvertently revealed a sliver of the secret.

"Of course, I know about my sealing. Otherwise, how could I be so passive in this situation? But just like love, no matter if seas dry up and rocks crumble, it can remain until death do us part. Love can also create unimaginable miracles, breaking the laws between Heaven and Earth! Just like the Holy Daughter, her love for me, I’m afraid, started from a previous life. Like my feelings for you, they’re still here now, aren’t they?"

Zhou Yan revealed a mocking smile, his every word, every sentence, savagely piercing into Ling He’s heart.

"You—you... You’re right, perhaps, the power of love can sometimes break many rules. Since that’s the case, since this also couldn’t seal your True Self memories and that painful past, then let me tell you. Your True Self was originally just an ordinary person who, because of a huge opportunity, directly stepped into the Sword Spirit Realm, which then led to many tragic and painful events.

This matter is a long story, and only I, the Holy Daughter, and the Lord likely know of it now. Even kings are ignorant of this.

Zhou Lingzhe, you were originally named ’Li—"

"Silly girl, you’ve been tricked by him."

A sigh suddenly emanated from the Void, breaking the silence and stopping Ling He’s words.

The Lotus Platform suddenly froze in mid-air, followed by an armless sleeve, which suddenly swept up the Lotus Platform and abruptly flicked it.

The Lotus Platform spun like a gyroscope, tossed at a fierce speed. Zhou Yan’s body was struck as if by lightning, flung violently away, nearly tumbling head over heels, truly somewhat in a sorry state.

This was the most embarrassing moment for Zhou Yan since he started fighting.

He immediately stood in the Void, mobilized his Combat Armor, gathered Fist Intent, and stared doubtfully at the white figure in the Void.

Although Zhou Yan knew that the other party had no intent to kill, the other was too powerful, and Zhou Yan would not give up easily even if he knew he was outmatched.

This, in fact, was somewhat different from his previous indifferent and casual personality.

"What’s the matter, little guy, going to try your hand against me?"

A pleasant and gentle voice came through, a white silhouette that could not be clearly seen, either its face or body, appeared in the Void.

She wore an Ancient Flute tied around her waist, and her snow-white dress was uniquely beautiful. But within the dress, a faint outline of a body could be seen, except the arms were missing.

At that instant, Zhou Yan already knew who this person was, despite... his soul having been haunted by her in many dreams, despite being called upon multiple times.

"Although I’m confident, I also know my limits. You shouldn’t make fun of me."

After a moment’s thought, Zhou Yan pulled back his offensive stance, speaking casually as if it didn’t matter.

"Now you, with your stubbornness of the past, are rather more stable than after you forgot your True Self. Perhaps it’s due to an incomplete fusion with your Bloodline, you’ll understand as you experience more in the future."

The woman continued to speak softly.

"This..."

Zhou Yan felt a chill in his heart. This woman seemed to know everything about him all too well.

Moreover, her words were pointed and hit the nail on the head.

"Lord..."

Ling He now returned to the woman’s side, bowing her head with a guilty expression.

"Separating your emotions was because I feared you would act recklessly. I’ve only just given them back to you, and you almost caused big trouble again. You’re not stupid, but somehow, you get hopelessly confused when it comes to emotions... Never mind, you go back to the Secret Realm first. Leave the rest to an ’Envoy.’"

"Lord, what about him... him? I promised him that I would deliver him to the Cold Ice Sword Sect..."

Ling He was still somewhat reluctant and hesitated.

"That, you can rest assured, I have my arrangements. After you return to the Secret Realm, without comprehending the Heart of Pure Spirit, you have no right to come out; you must strip away your emotions again to leave," replied the woman in white softly.

She spoke with an air of helplessness.

"This... alright, Lord, then your subordinate... shall take her leave."

As Ling He spoke, she cast a somewhat apologetic glance at Zhou Yan, then carried away the rotating lotus and turned into a streak of green light, disappearing between heaven and earth.

"You and your Master are alike, this kind of temperament, it’s truly somewhat annoying."

The woman in white sighed, then suddenly said.

"You..."

Zhou Yan was shocked, looking at the woman in white with surprise.

"You don’t need to look at me like that. In fact, I understand you better than you do. You don’t need to guess blindly; I am indeed Ni Chang, but your Master is not the Emperor Qi Sword Body, not Hou Yi. Of course, you couldn’t possibly be either.

The specific matters, not letting you know now, is only to protect you, understand?

Don’t blindly pursue the truth. With this Heavenly Destiny plan, what can you possibly gain by incessantly probing the chessboard? Even if you win, if it weren’t for someone helping you, you would have lost—wife and children gone, home ruined, everyone gone.

So, what you shouldn’t know, don’t seek to know."

"But why do you keep leading me to find out?"

Zhou Yan’s eyes became somewhat aggressive as he asked.

"We are blocking, while Heavenly Dao is the one leading. That is fate. Your True Self was an ordinary person who suddenly received an opportunity and made some achievements. But while the people of the world can share hardships, they may not necessarily be able to share wealth, so your True Self, in fact, has many regrets.

This life of yours exists to make up for those regrets, so go ahead with whatever you need to do, seize the opportunity, don’t leave any further regrets for yourself."

"Opportunities are not available to everyone, and many have sacrificed too much to have one more chance, so they cherish it."

"As for who you are, does it really matter?"

After the woman in white finished speaking, her unseen face seemed to turn toward a certain place.

At that moment, Ni Chang, the woman in white, sighed again and murmured, "Chang’e should regret stealing the elixir, sorrowful thoughts under the clear, blue sea and sky night after night. Who... can truly understand."

Murmuring to herself, her figure gradually faded, disappearing as if diluting through Transformation, in a strange way of leaving.

But after she left, a light, a white light that could freeze in the Void, suddenly enveloped Zhou Yan, and then this light violently twisted.

In the next moment, the light disappeared, and Zhou Yan felt that heaven and earth had completely changed.

A snow-covered world, yet there was a warm atmosphere, and Zhou Yan couldn’t feel the slightest chill.

Not far away, the four ancient seal characters of ’Cold Ice Sword Sect’ flickered with the sharp glow of Sword Intent.

As soon as Zhou Yan focused his gaze, immediately, Sword Light flashed throughout heaven and earth.

Soon, two men in green clothes and three women in apricot Spirit Armor dresses flew out, bringing a terrifying Sword Intent, charging straight at Zhou Yan, and immediately surrounded him.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Forbidden Land of the Cold Ice Sword Sect’s Thunder Flame Snow Palace!"

Among the five, a young cultivator with thick eyebrows and large eyes scolded sharply.

As he spoke, his intent to kill was palpable!

"He, he’s that damned Zhou Yan!"

A clear and pleasant female voice suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Zhou Yan? The same Zhou Yan who caused our Little Junior Sister to enter Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain and her Soul name tag to shatter?!"

Next to the thick-browed youth, a white-browed young man had already begun to roar madly.

"Yes, it’s him. I saw him at Ancient Tomb Mountain; it’s definitely him!" The woman’s voice was very certain.

"Damn you, you still dare to come to our Cold Ice Sword Sect, go to hell!"

Several voices, almost simultaneously, shouted angrily!

At the same time, the terrifying Sword Intent actually evolved into a Sword Array, drawing in the vast snow and ice intent of heaven and earth, ferociously attacking Zhou Yan!
