Chapter 2213 - 2213 2203 The Secret

2213: Chapter 2203: The Secret 2213: Chapter 2203: The Secret After hearing Jingzhe’s words, Bai Mu’s face remained unchanged.

He was indeed the adopted son of Demon King Qingluo, but in reality, there were many things unknown to others, and Bai Mu was too lazy to explain, gently picking up the tea in his hand.

The atmosphere of the entire meeting became awkward in an instant.

Jingzhe’s straightforward words brought the atmosphere down to freezing point.

Xing Rou, who was by the side, moved her lips wanting to say something, but was silenced by a look from Bai Mu.

“In any case, we just hope to free the three cities from their current state.

As for the Demon King and such, I’ll handle it.”

Although Long Yan’s expression was calm, his words shocked everyone around.

It was too arrogant.

Although the zombies and Demon Soldiers of Gigantic King City had all been defeated by Long Yan alone, it did not mean that the Demon King was an easy opponent.

However, seeing Long Yan’s confident expression, a strange feeling arose in the hearts of the three.

Eventually, everyone chose to trust Long Yan.

The three City Lords sent their Demon Soldiers and demon generals to assist Long Yan in fighting for land.

After obtaining the resources, the three families would share them equally.

Any issues related to the Demon King would be handled by Long Yan.

“Brother Long, aren’t you curious about my affair?”

Bai Mu looked at Long Yan curiously.

Normally, people wouldn’t help him after hearing he was the adopted son of the Demon King.

Although there were hidden factors, Long Yan surely didn’t know.

“I’m waiting for you to tell.

If you don’t want to, asking might not yield any results.”

Long Yan shrugged indifferently.

The story of Bai Mu definitely wasn’t simple.

Long Yan and Bai Mu had discussed the Demon King before, and the look in Bai Mu’s eyes back then didn’t reflect filial affection.

“I was an orphan and Qingluo picked me up…”

Bai Mu’s eyes were profound, as if reminiscing, and he slowly began his tale.

He had always grown up with Qingluo.

Qingluo, as a father, was quite loving towards Bai Mu, training him from a young age.

In fact, for Bai Mu, Qingluo meant more than just a father.

Qingluo would share many things with him, including various interesting stories from the world before.

But everything changed drastically after Bai Mu discovered the secret chamber in Qingluo’s study, not just Bai Mu’s view of Qingluo.

At this point, Bai Mu couldn’t help but laugh ironically.

From this smile, Long Yan could discern a lot, but he did not interrupt aloud.

When younger, Bai Mu discovered a mirror in Qingluo’s study.

Although it appeared to be a mere mirror, the energy contained within was somewhat unimaginable.

Bai Mu’s gaze then turned to Long Yan, he later found out that the mirror was also one of the ancient artifacts, Emperor Qin’s Mirror.

Legend had it that this mirror could reveal all you wanted to know.

Of course, the top ten ancient divine artifacts were all hidden in legends, and Long Yan did not know their authenticity.

Bai Mu didn’t notice Long Yan’s expression and continued speaking.

Although Qingluo was good to him, a question always emerged in youth: where did he come from?

Especially as Bai Mu had no memories of his biological parents, which stirred all his Monster Power, activating the Emperor Qin Mirror.

Ripples appeared on the mirror surface; the events that occurred before unfolded like a movie in front of Bai Mu.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman appeared before him, and the inherent connection of bloodline made Bai Mu realize instantly that these people were his parents.

Once this kind of thing started, it couldn’t be stopped.

The young Bai Mu was getting closer and closer to the real truth, but the truth was far more complicated than he thought.

The second time Bai Mu found an opportunity to sneak into the secret chamber, he wanted to uncover the true cause of his biological parents’ death.

Using an artifact also required strong True Qi to activate.

Although the Emperor Qin Mirror was an auxiliary type of treasure, it still required strong True Qi as a support.

Each time Bai Mu used the Emperor Qin Mirror, it would drain his own True Qi.

This made each of Bai Mu’s actions extremely cautious, perhaps due to a strange premonition in his heart, both times were conducted secretly by Bai Mu without Demon King Qingluo’s knowledge.

This time, the scene appeared in the black night.

Bai Mu saw the couple from the previous mirror image fleeing in panic, chased by something like a soul-hunting fierce ghost.

The faces of the couple were filled with terror, but a powerful green monster light suddenly illuminated the night as if it were day.

Then, a sharp claw pierced through the man’s chest.

Although there was no sound in the entire scene, Bai Mu clenched his fists tightly, and for a moment, he felt as if he entered the world inside the mirror.

Cries and howls, the woman was crying out, and the man was making painful wails mixed with chilling mad laughter.

When the scene shifted again, what remained in the mirror was Demon King Qingluo’s face laughing wildly.

The moment he saw Demon King Qingluo’s face, Bai Mu felt as if his world had collapsed.

His respected and beloved adoptive father turned out to be his father’s killer, and he had even been raised by his father’s killer.

This fact was incredibly hard to accept, and he completely couldn’t face Qingluo afterwards.

Bai Mu found it hard to believe that the man before him was his father’s killer.

He was willing to believe that the Emperor Qin Mirror had identified the wrong person, but how likely could it be that an ancient divine artifact like the Emperor Qin Mirror would make a mistake?

The subsequent events were simple.

Bai Mu told Qingluo that he wanted to go out to see the world, and thus he came to Chu Official City, became the City Lord, and remained until now.

Bai Mu took a deep breath, feeling much lighter having only shared this with Xing Rou and now honestly sharing it with Long Yan.

Long Yan had been silently listening to Bai Mu’s story, his foster father, who had raised him, turned out to be his greatest enemy.

Bai Mu’s earlier life had almost been lived in deception and lies, something that could possibly become the biggest joke in the world.

“So, do you want to take revenge?”

Long Yan asked Bai Mu softly, but the latter only shook his head.

Even now, he didn’t know what to do or how to treat Qingluo.

If parental vengeance should be prioritized, yet Qingluo also had the grace of raising him.

“If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer from chaos.”

Long Yan did not express his opinion, but simply gently patted Bai Mu’s shoulder.

He still needed to prepare some things necessary for clearing demonic beasts tomorrow, leaving Bai Mu alone with his thoughts.

“It seems I still need to make a trip to the corpse cave of Demon Mountain.”

Long Yan felt somewhat helpless; that particular herb still hadn’t turned up.

Long Yan planned to head to the corpse cave directly this time.

Of course, if Corpse King didn’t show up, Long Yan wouldn’t bother looking for trouble, but it seemed like the two’s problems couldn’t be resolved simply.

However, Long Yan was not the least bit fearful in his heart; he actually wanted to see what methods the Corpse King would use to trouble him.
