Chapter 115 The Demonic Soul is a Saint Sovereign; Reappearing in the Immortal Desolation Cliff
The secret guard did not expect Liu Yexi to be so tense.
He hesitated for a moment and quickly said, "This subordinate can't be sure either, just roughly saw the scene."
"Afterward, when inquiring about the news, the representatives of various major forces were evasive, so... I'm not sure if Master Gu is among them..."
"I don't care if you're sure or not. Investigate again and report back! If there is no accurate information next time, you can forget about your head!" Liu Yexi said angrily.
The secret guard nodded repeatedly, and in a hurry, he went back to Shuzhou.
In fact, upon hearing this news, Liu Yexi's first reaction was that Gu Lan was probably involved in this matter!
However, Mu Yuyan was already so weak and emotionally fragile, and she was pregnant with the heir of Gu Lan.
Without the most accurate information, how could she dare to report it? If this information was wrong, it would be another blow to the female Emperor!
Liu Yexi paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "Summon Great Chancellor Sima to see me, tell him it's urgent!"
...
Shuzhou, in a certain inn.
Zhongren and Lin Tan'er returned, and Gu Lan had already ordered a meal for them. Xiaoqi was released to frolic around, and he would return to the residence when he came back to the capital.
During the meal, the younger brother kept sending her secret glances, with an expression of great admiration. Lin Tan'er seemed a bit absent-minded, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"After eating, rest early. Take a carriage back home tomorrow morning!" Gu Lan put down his chopsticks and returned to his room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he took out the Saint Dragon Clock from the Book of Heaven and Earth. Eager to find out more about the demonic soul, he opened the appendix.
He thought that such a mysterious thing would have a detailed introduction, but to Gu Lan's surprise, the words of the Two Elements Ancestor were only a few sentences. However, these few sentences made Gu Lan's pupils contract violently.
"The demonic soul in the bronze coffin is actually the Saint Sovereign from four thousand years ago, merged with a Heavenly Demon ?!"
"The Saint Sovereign, the mythical figure widely circulated among the common people, who single-handedly repelled the invasion of the demon realm?"
"Damn..."
Gu Lan held the Book of Heaven and Earth, his face filled with shock. This statement was like a sudden enlightenment, solving many doubts in his mind at once.
No wonder the demonic soul referred to itself as "the royal we"! The ancient Chiyang Dynasty probably had such a title.
No wonder it claimed to be the founder of the Beast Taming Art. The earliest Beast Taming Art did indeed emerge in the Chiyang territory during the demon invasion four thousand years ago and played a significant role in resisting the demon clan.
The Chiyang Saint Sovereign had sacrificed for the country and the people back then, even willing to fall into darkness... But now, in an era of peace and prosperity, if the Chiyang female Emperor still wanted to release him, that would be truly unforgivable!
However, this couldn't be directly asked to the demonic soul. He would never tell me for the sake of Chiyang... Gu Lan made up his mind and decided to use force directly!
"Sorry, Saint Sovereign. I promise not to kill you, but the necessary purification... cannot be omitted!"
Gu Lan placed his palm on the tip of the Saint Dragon Clock, and golden thunderbolts descended, striking the demonic soul. This was the property of the Chiyang Saint Body and the pure Yang dragon blood, specifically targeting the most yin and evil Heavenly Demon . The damage to the Chiyang Saint Sovereign was minimal!
The demonic soul immediately let out a miserable howl!
Fortunately, after four thousand years, the soul of the Heavenly Demon had weakened considerably. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Lan completely purified it!
The black demonic energy inside the Saint Dragon Clock had dissipated.
Only a faintly transparent soul and a fragment of shattered memories remained.
"Thank you for helping me kill it... It's been four thousand years, and I didn't expect to have a day of rebirth!"
The grateful voice of the soul echoed in Gu Lan's mind, completely different from the demonic soul just now.
This was the original Chiyang Saint Sovereign!
"Your soul is weak. Save your thanks for later. Return to the ancient coffin to recuperate!"
Gu Lan instructed and sent him back to the system space.
After completing all this, Gu Lan took out the fragment of memories and directly chose to merge it, wanting to see if the current Chiyang female Emperor was involved in the mystery!
However!
A large part of the memories had already detached with the departure of the demonic soul. Coincidentally, the images of the Chiyang female Emperor were non-existent. Gu Lan's last bit of doubt remained unresolved.
But just as Gu Lan was about to end the exploration of the "Saint Sovereign's damaged memories," a familiar scene suddenly appeared!
A desolate and bottomless abyss, with withered trees, a lifeless atmosphere, and strange crows circling in the sky, occasionally emitting piercing cries. White bones piled up around, and the smell of battle lingered...
Seeing this, Gu Lan's eyes lit up!
"Isn't this... the abyss that appeared in the memories of that old dragon, where the Dragon Clan princess jumped down!? And in the memories of the Chiyang Saint Sovereign, it was the Immortal Desolation Cliff south of the Demon God City during his counterattack against the demon realm!"
After analyzing it, Gu Lan immediately deduced a secret that the Dragon Sovereign had been seeking for many years but couldn't find out:
"The Dragon Clan princess... seems to have disappeared in the demon realm!"
"If she is still alive, there is a high possibility that she is under this Immortal Desolation Cliff, right?!"
