"Jin Chuguo...for me?" Zhou Yukun's face was dull. He couldn't believe what the indifferent old man would do for him.

The old immortal Nanhua continued, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't plan to hide it from you. After listening to it, I will not force you to stay here. I will not stop you from choosing."

"Before telling the truth about your parents' death, let me tell you something that happened in ancient times. A thousand years ago, it was the Northern Song Dynasty. I believe you also know that it was the founding emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin. When Taizu started his family, he was just a small soldier. He fought with his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi for many years, and then he established a foundation for the Northern Song Dynasty."

"However, my younger brother Zhao Kuangyi felt deeply jealous of his brother Zhao Kuangyin. He was dissatisfied with why he was born later than Zhao Kuangyin, and he was always suppressed by Zhao Kuangyin since he was a child. No matter what he did, Zhao Kuangyin was better than him. Therefore, among the forces they formed together, everyone did not hesitate to elect Zhao Kuangyin as his lord."

"Over time, Zhao Kuangyi's jealousy gradually turned into resentment over time. At that time, their power was already very large, and almost no separatist warlord could compare with them. I believe it was only a matter of time before the unification of the country. So he secretly dispatched his confidant around Zhao Kuangyin and poisoned his wine glass."

"As expected, in order to celebrate the previous victory, Zhao Kuangyin called Zhao Kuangyi to drink. At that time, there were only two brothers. Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed and thought he had a plan. But he did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin was so heroic that his younger brother's methods had been seen through. But he did not execute Zhao Kuangyi angrily, but instead talked about interesting things from childhood with a calm expression. After that, Zhao Kuangyin said nothing, and died by drinking the glass of poisonous wine."

Hearing this, Zhou Yukun asked in confusion: "Why, his brother was going to harm him regardless of his friendship, why did he commit suicide?"

The old fairy Nanhua smiled faintly: "Because, perhaps family affection is more important than the throne in his heart." After saying that, he looked at him meaningfully. Zhou Yukun felt silent in his heart. This was actually not difficult to choose, because he was also a person like Zhao Kuangyin.

"The next day, all the ministers received news that Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly, and the will states that the throne was passed to his younger brother, but not his own child. Zhao Kuangyi only realized that Zhao Kuangyin had long noticed his jealousy, so he arranged everything in advance, and even passed the throne to him without hesitation. As for the reason, perhaps it was a loving brother's compensation for an ignorant brother."

"Zhao Kuangyi suddenly realized that he was guilty and resolutely changed his name to Zhao Jiong because he knew that he was not worthy of being Zhao Kuangyin's brother. After that, he worked hard to govern and completely unified the world in a few years. But after he was old, the shadow of killing his brothers lingered in his heart, so he was afraid that he would go to the underworld to meet Zhao Kuangyin. So he began to look for various methods across the country, as long as he could extend his life, he would spare no expense."

"But in ancient times, many emperors tried to find the method of immortality, but none of them succeeded. Zhao Jiong was no exception. After trying several secret methods, he finally refined an immortal body. But this method was extremely strange. Zhao Jiong changed his temperament from then on, using people as food and blood as drinks, and slaughtered many maids and eunuchs in the palace."

"At this time, the news that the Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Zhao Heng, who had succeeded to the throne, first blocked the madness of the First Emperor, then secretly summoned strange people from all over the world, and finally temporarily suppressed Zhao Jiong in the cave at the bottom of the palace. But this method is not a long-term solution, so some people suggested that the Emperor's first emperor is now in a terrifying way and must use the imperial seal that is contaminated with the aura of the emperor to completely suppress the evil spirit of the former emperor."

"In desperation, Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, could only listen to this person's advice, build an extremely solid stone tomb outside the cave, and put the ancestor in a jade coffin, hidden in the ground. A cylindrical stone platform was built on the coffin, and placed the imperial seal on it. In this way, Zhao Jiong was completely sealed, and the imperial seal was always hidden deep in the stone tomb, without seeing the light of the sky."

"Wait, as far as I know, there were legends in the later Yuan and Ming dynasties. Why did you say that it never appeared?" Zhou Yukun asked suddenly.

"Haha, it's just history, do you know how true or false it is? Then there were many imitations of the imperial seal during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and it is not surprising that the later dynasty will appear. What's more, even what I said cannot guarantee that it is exactly the same as history, and can only say it is close enough to the truth."

Zhou Yukun was speechless: "Okay, I know the location of the stone tomb you mentioned, because I found the jade seal from there, but I didn't see the coffin you mentioned."

"Of course you can't see it. If someone deliberately hides it, how can you see it?"

"Hide?" Zhou Yukun frowned strangely, then suddenly woke up: "You... are you saying that Zhao Jiong in the coffin is still alive? Did he deliberately hide and prevent me from discovering it?" He couldn't help but feel excited. When he thought of a bloodthirsty maniac hiding beside him at that time, he even sweated coldly.

The old fairy Nanhua nodded with an extremely serious face: "No, it's not that he is still alive, but that he is not dead. At that time, Zhao Jiong had already cultivated his immortal body and could only be suppressed, not killed."

"But didn't you say he didn't succeed?"

The old fairy Nanhua smiled coldly: "He is now just immortal in his body, but his consciousness has long been destroyed. How can I talk about immortality? The reason why I mentioned him to you is not aimless, but to tell you that while you took away the jade seal, you also released a terrifying immortal demon."

"This..." Zhou Yukun was speechless. At that time, he was young and took away the jade seal was just out of fear of darkness. He never thought that there was a big demon seal there. "No, if he was really released, why had I never heard of such news? Could it be that he no longer ate people?"

"Think about it seriously, aren't there many people who have died in recent years?"

"But, they are all killing each other between Star Selectors, and it seems that they have nothing to do with that big devil, right?"

"No, you were wrong!" Nanhua Laoxian said with a serious expression: "Not only has a deep connection with the dream world; but your parents' accidental death is also unrelated to him."

Zhou Yukun was shocked: "Impossible, I heard with my own ears that it was Jin Chuguo's voice at the scene. All of this was planned by Jin Chuguo." He couldn't believe that the other party was innocent, and he couldn't imagine the consequences of his mistaken murder.

"What if I tell you that Zhao Jiong's voice is very similar to Kim Cho-gu?"

"But even if the sound is similar, the camera will not lie. I saw with my own eyes that Kim Cho-gu was at the crime scene at that time, how could it be that he was not him?"

Nanhua Laoxian took a deep breath and looked a little weird: "Although you may not believe it, that person is not Jin Chuguo. Let's not talk about Jin Chuguo's feelings for your parents' teachers and students, just say that the real Jin Chuguo was far away from Wenqu City, thousands of kilometers away, and was teaching at Wenqu University. How could he rush to commit the crime? If you don't believe it, I can call out the classroom monitoring of Wenqu University here."

Zhou Yukun looked stagnant and said with difficulty: "Okay, even if what you said is true, it was the devil who killed my parents and wanted to steal the jade seal. Why did the jade seal bring me the photo of Jin Chuguo to me later? It wouldn't be a big devil, right?"

Although he seemed to be careless, a huge wave was stirred up in his heart. Hatred had blinded his eyes for a long time, so that he had never carefully considered the relationship between Jin Chuguo and his parents. Even after he went to Wenqu City, he had the opportunity to call out the monitoring of Wenqu University, but because he firmly believed in his judgment, he had never checked it.

"Oh, Old Man Jin has done a good job. He deliberately let the jade seal go for you, with the purpose of letting you take the initiative to come to Wenqu City. Why did you think he captured that boy Wei Chu? He didn't want someone to help you, otherwise do you think he can escape?" This time, the answer was not Nanhua's old immortal, but Pang Degong, the fire-moving reincarnation master.

Zhou Yukun was even more incredible: "Why, why did he do this? You said that he did everything for me, but killing my relatives and friends is for my own good?"

The old fairy Nanhua suddenly interrupted, "I said that it was not us who killed them, but Song Taizong Zhao Jiong."

"Ha, I never knew Zhao Jiong, nor had I ever made enemies with him. What reason does he have to attack my relatives and friends?"

"You do have no grudges, but you are the master of the jade seal, and his only nemesis is the jade seal, which is more serious than any hatred. And, are you really sure you don't know him?"

Zhou Yukun frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you know him, but you never discovered his identity. Even we only learned about it after experiencing a lot. I think you should still remember someone, his name is the Emperor!"

Zhou Yukun replied: "Of course I still remember that you five even took his country from him, causing constant disputes in the dream world."

Hearing his implicit sarcasm, the old fairy in Nanhua smiled and shook her head: "This is our mistake. At that time, Jin Chuguo wanted to avenge your parents, but in reality he could not find Zhao Jiong, so we went into a dream to search. With one person's guidance, we found the emperor. His mysterious ability and face made us believe that he was Zhao Jiong."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "Oh, we later learned that this emperor is the core of the jade seal, not Zhao Jiong. And the reason why we made mistakes was because of that person, under his guidance, that we destroyed the country and disrupted the government."

"Who is him?"
