In the sea area of Qilin Continent, there are countless islands of various sizes. Some of these islands are suitable for human beings to live, and some are suitable for soul beasts to live. However, there are also some islands that are not suitable for living creatures to live at all, and have become abandoned islands or used for special places.
Mass Burial Island is a special island. Due to the harsh environment and deserted island, it is not suitable for living creatures to live at all. However, it has not been completely abandoned and has become a place for abandoned corpses in some fishing villages in the nearby sea.
There are always some stories circulating among the sea people that outsiders don't know. Many people who died of illness will have terrible curses if their bodies are not disposed of properly, and the whole village will be buried with them. The curses spoken by fishermen, to outsiders,
It is actually a plague, and the best way is to cremate the corpse immediately to achieve purification.
However, cremation is the most unacceptable burial method for fishermen who have lived on the water for generations. They believe in the sea god and firmly disagree with cremation, thinking it is an act of blasphemy to the sea god. However, simply burying the body in the earth or burying it in water is not acceptable.
The corpse gas would contaminate the nearby area and cause a plague, so they chose an uninhabited island far away from the village to place the corpses, hence the name Mass Burial Island.
Although the burials on the Mass Burial Island are all mortals, the long years of placement have also caused the island to form a serious corpse aura. Mortals cannot stay sluggish in this corpse aura for a long time, otherwise they will definitely contract the corpse plague and even come to the burial site.
The fishermen carrying the corpses must also wear complete isolation suits before they dare to board the mass burial island. Unless there are dead bodies to be disposed of, no one will be willing to go near the mass burial island.
A wisp of black mist flew from the distant sky and finally landed on the Mass Burial Island Mountain. On the desolate cemetery mountain, there were two people, a man and a woman. The man's appearance was not very outstanding. His face was a little pale, but he didn't look like that.
He has a sickly appearance, and he seems to be born like this. He has a pair of obvious dark circles under his eyes, and the deep bags under his eyes make him look a bit gloomy. Over the past hundred years, this face has undergone a lot of changes, but he can still vaguely see the former appearance.
Look.
Jiang Hanyi, in a conflict with Zheng Feng many years ago, was killed by a beast and sent home to recuperate. After a few years of no news, he returned again, keeping a low profile, but became the biggest dark horse in Qinglong City that year.
It's starting to look mysterious...
The wisp of black energy merged directly into Jiang Hanyi's body without any pause. After the black energy entered the body, Jiang Hanyi's eyes flashed with a look of pain, his body was wrapped around his head, and the death energy became even stronger. The corpse energy emanating from all over his body had already made him
People can't tell whether he is alive or dead.
The woman following Jiang Hanyi is not stunningly beautiful, she can only be described as delicate. She is dressed very simply, without any gold or silver jewelry. There is no trace of a lady from head to toe, but she looks like a slave.
.
"Young Master..." The woman looked at Jiang Hanyi's trembling body with a trace of worry in her eyes. As soon as she opened her mouth, she confirmed her identity. She was indeed just a maid.
Jiang Hanyi steadied his body, and only when he looked at the maidservant, his cold eyes revealed a trace of rare tenderness. He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry...I'm fine...soon...everything will be over..."
The hoarse voice had betrayed him, and the physical pain was far from over. He had just endured it, all just to prevent her from worrying.

Many years ago, during a rainy season, the bad weather made people feel depressed. Jiang Hanyi, who had a mental disorder, was sent back to Jiang Mansion for recuperation.
The Jiang family is not a cultivating family, but the head of the family, Jiang Yi, is a noble of the Tianlong Empire. He has a hereditary title and territory. He belongs to a famous family in the south of the Tianlong Empire. After all, the hereditary title and territory would never be possible if the ancestors of the family had not made significant contributions to the empire.
It is impossible to receive such a reward.
Although Jiang Hanyi was the eldest son of the Jiang family, he did not have the right to inherit the Jiang family's title and territory because he was not a member of the clan, but a 'concubine'.
Under the feudal patriarchal system of the Tianlong Empire aristocrats, children born to concubines, or concubines who are not the official wife, are called concubines. Concubines have or have no status, and all subsequent concubines, regardless of gender, are concubines. Concubines with status are also called concubines.
As side wives, their existence is recognized by the family and society, but their status in the family is far from that of the main wife, whether it is reflected in the family, society or their treatment after death.
Jiang Yi is a lord, and his private life is no different from that of most nobles. He lives a luxurious life, has one wife, and numerous concubines, among which concubines are divided into several levels, such as good concubines, or low-status concubines. And Jiang Hanyi is
Children born to concubines who are not born to the legitimate wife are called concubines, and they are side branches of the family. Those born to the legitimate wife are called "concubine". The concubine is the big clan, and the concubine is the minor clan. After the concubine's death, he is not included in the clan tablet, and the children born to the concubine are "concubine".
', you can't attack the prince!
Jiang Hanyi's mother was originally a maid in the Jiang family. She was defiled by a drunken murder committed by Jiang Yi. Originally, even if it was like this, the Jiang family could just give some money to get rid of the problem. However, unexpectedly, she became pregnant. Although she was just a lowly maid, she
What's in his belly is also the blood of the Jiang family.
At that time, Jiang Yiren's main wife was not living up to expectations and had nothing to achieve, and all the children born to the side wife were daughters. Therefore, Jiang Yiren took the maidservant as a low-status concubine, which was considered to have a reputation. See if the child was a boy.
If she is a female, it is not true that she has no chance of inheriting the family property if she is a concubine. If there is no direct male in the family, a concubine still has the right to inherit the family business, but the chance is very small.
Later, a son was really born. Although Jiang Hanyi was the eldest son of Jiang, he was not the eldest son. He was born to a concubine, so he was born in name only. Moreover, when the wife had no children, the concubine actually dared to give birth to a son. He was definitely the legitimate wife.
A thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh!
The birth of Jiang Hanyi did not make his mother more valuable than her son, but instead offended the royal family. His mother was often beaten severely by the royal family, and under the order of the royal family, even her other concubines did the same.
They bullied mother and son in every possible way, especially when the main wife finally gave birth to a son, the abuse and bullying became even more unscrupulous. With the existence of a legitimate son, Jiang Hanyi, the bastard son, was no longer necessary.
His mother was beaten by the main wife's side wife, and Jiang Hanyi was bullied and beaten by children of the same age in the family, and even children younger than him. The mother was a concubine, and the son was a pariah. Regarding the situation of the mother and son, Jiang Yiren had no correct experience at all.
, to him, it was a product of drunkenness. Now that he has a legitimate son, a bastard can be said to be completely redundant.
When Jiang Hanyi was four years old, his mother could not bear the severe beatings and finally passed away on the hospital bed. Four-year-old Jiang Hanyi could never forget his mother's face that was distorted by pain before she left. He clearly remembered her mother's face full of sadness before she left.
Looking at him with eyes, he said hoarsely: "Hanyi, run... run... run away from here... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
His mother's apology before her death was because she brought him into this ugly world and allowed him to suffer a miserable life together. However, he did not hate his mother, he hated the people who bullied their mother and son! What he hated was
This Jiang family!! He hates this world!!!
He will never forget the pain of his mother before her death, let alone the scars all over her body. When Jiang Hanyi's mother was poisoned to death, the Jiang family was very calm, as if nothing had happened at all, no one was pursuing it, and no one was going to bury her.
His remains.
In the end, it was several old servants of the Jiang family who took pity on the young Jiang Hanyi and helped him to be buried in a mass grave in the back mountain. There was no wooden plaque in the Jiang family ancestral hall. She was just a concubine, and no one cared about her after she died.
, let alone being placed in the mourning hall.
Jiang Hanyi still vividly remembers the day when his mother was buried. He clearly remembers that it rained heavily that day. The slippery mountain road caused him to fall countless times. The gravel and branches on the ground were like sharp knives.
The sharp point pierced his weak body, and bright red blood emerged from the scratched wound, but he did not feel any more pain in his body, because... his heart hurt even more!
The violent hurricane made people's cheeks sore and made their clothes rustle. Several old servants of the Jiang family could not bear the violent storm and temporarily went down the mountain. They planned to continue the burial after the rain stopped. The only one who did not leave was the young man.
Jiang Hanyi, no matter how the old servant persuaded him, he just knelt down beside his mother's body stupidly, his eyes were dull, and all the rain on his face was covered with no tears. His tears had long since dried up.
When the old servant saw that it was ineffective, he could only shake his head and leave, leaving young Jiang Hanyi kneeling on the mud and stone stupidly. For a four-year-old child, this reality is really too cruel.
Jiang Hanyi was alone in the heavy rain, and kept muttering in a low voice: "Why... why..."
He couldn't understand what his mother had done wrong, what he had done wrong, and why the master was so unfair. He hated, hated this different world!
Jiang Hanyi took out a worn-out dagger from his waist. He found it from a pile of rubbish in the corner of the woodshed. When he was beaten and bullied by children of his own race, he tried to take out this dagger countless times, but he kept trying.
Without the courage, he was afraid of what the Jiang family would do to him if he took out a dagger and hurt those legitimate sons. He was even more afraid that his mother would be implicated in this.
He had always kept the dagger, but he never had the courage to use it. Now, he finally took out the dagger, but it was not to take revenge on those children of the same clan, because there was no need anymore. His mother was dead, already dead, and left him forever.
There is nothing in this world worthy of his nostalgia. Even if he takes revenge, he may be able to hurt one or two childhood children, but he cannot take revenge on any of his real enemies.
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Xiao Hanyi took out the dagger, looked at his mother's cold corpse with empty eyes, and slowly placed the dagger on his neck. Although the dagger was old, it was still sharp and cut through the tender skin in an instant.
.
"Mother, Hanyi is coming to find you now." Just when little Hanyi was desperate and ready to follow his mother, he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear: "Do you want revenge?"
"Revenge?" Jiang Hanyi murmured, his empty eyes reawakening, revealing deep resentment.
The voice tempted: "Yes, revenge, I can give you the power of resentment..."
"Who are you?"
"Who am I?" The hoarse voice said with a smile: "You can call me Hades Emperor..."
