Pu Ruozhi's mood suddenly dropped again, a look of remorse appeared on his face, and he said with a self-deprecating smile: "I didn't listen to my senior brother. He warned me that I couldn't open the brocade box, let alone practice the evil magic inside.
But I didn’t listen.”
"It was me who failed to resist my greed and broke my promise to the senior brother in order to survive, which harmed the senior brother and the Xiao family..."
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Ye Wushuang immediately grasped the key point and asked: "What happened to Xiao Jianyun was caused by himself; and I have also heard about the Xiao family's annihilation; but wasn't it secretly done by Chu Xiaogao? What does it have to do with you?
?”
As soon as these words came out, Pu Ruozhi burst into tears, shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying guiltily: "Yes, it was that bastard Chu Xiaoao who did it, but... it was all because of me!"
"Although the senior brother disappeared, his heirs were still there; and because he was suppressed by the Sword Sect, he was forced to flee to the Eastern Wasteland and find me. At that time, although Chu Yu was dead, I was still in Cangyun
The empire can still speak for itself in the entire Eastern Wasteland, so there is no problem in protecting them."
"And it was indeed like this at the beginning; after the Xiao family settled in Cangyun, although it was not as big as in Zhongzhou, with my support, it became a huge family second only to the Chu royal family... But I ignored the people's hearts.
, ignoring human greed and jealousy.”
"The rise of the Xiao family has caused dissatisfaction among many forces; including the Chu royal family!"
"In addition, I already had a lifespan of thousands of years at that time, which had already attracted the attention of many people. Although the Chu royal family was afraid of me, they were even more jealous of my ability to live such a long life, and even made insidious inquiries many times. Unfortunately,
I was too confident at the time and thought too well of everyone, so I didn’t take it to heart at all, which caused the demise of the Xiao family this time..."
Speaking of this, Pu Ruozhi let out a long sigh and continued: "I remember, it was one day hundreds of years ago. I was hunting monsters outside and plundering monster power. I was surprised to hear that something happened to the Xiao family, so I hurried back.
Only to find out that it was too late..."
"At that time, since you knew it was the Chu royal family that did it, why didn't you attack them?"
Ye Wushuang asked.
At that time, the Chu royal family had not yet colluded with the other four empires. With Pu Ruozhi's strength, it was definitely more than enough to destroy the Chu royal family.
And as long as the Chu royal family is destroyed, or even Chu Xiaoao and others are killed, how can Pu Ruozhi be imprisoned and tortured for hundreds of years?
"I just had suspicions at the time, but I wasn't sure that the Chu royal family did it."
Pu Ruozhi sighed again and said: "I single-handedly supported the Chu royal family. All the Chu family members respected me as their elders when they saw me. Even the Emperor of Chu at that time was someone I grew up watching. Every time I see him,
I would call him Grandpa Pu affectionately; in this case, I never thought it would be them."
"Secondly, I don't know who sent the news from Zhongzhou at that time, saying that the reason why Xiao Jianyun betrayed Jianzong was that he took away a treasure book; and in order to survive, the Xiao family exchanged that treasure book with me, so I
In order to survive for thousands of years without dying; those people did not dare to attack me, so they took advantage of my absence to attack the Xiao family. This kind of news was flying all over the sky, and I was deceived for a while...until I was
Chu Xiaoao’s ambush..."
At the end of the sentence, Pu Ruozhi suddenly let out a long sigh, which sounded like regret, guilt, and even emotion.
Ye Wushuang also sighed and reached out to pat Pu Ruozhi on the shoulder to express comfort.
He finally had some clues about what happened back then.
To put it simply, since his accident, the eldest disciple Xiao Jianyun should have found some clues about the traitor; however, the other party is extremely powerful and cautious, and even discovered Xiao Jianyun and prepared to attack him.
At this time, Pu Ruozhi went to the Jianzong with passion, wanting to join it and avenge Ye Wushuang. Unexpectedly, the Jianzong at that time was actually controlled by those traitors, who directly beat him seriously and drove him away.
Got out.
When Pu Ruozhi was on the verge of death, Xiao Jianyun secretly rescued him and told him something; however, Pu Ruozhi had forgotten what it was and has not yet learned what it was.
But after Pu Ruozhi returned, he assisted Chu Yu in pacifying the Eastern Wasteland, established the Cangyun Empire, and wanted to conquer Zhongzhou. Ye Wushuang guessed that Xiao Jianyun realized that the enemy was too powerful at that time, so he asked Pu Ruozhi to go to the East.
Huang accumulates strength and then goes to Zhongzhou to support.
And this is consistent with the fact that Xiao Jianyun was later hunted down and forced to hide to this day.
Unfortunately, due to the sudden death of Emperor Chu Yu and Xiao Jianyun suddenly becoming a traitor, this plan was shelved!
Later, Pu Ruozhi, who was disheartened and faced an imminent end, originally thought of ending his life, but accidentally opened the brocade box left by Xiao Jianyun, obtained the secret technique of melting blood, and gained a life span of tens of thousands of years.
.
But it is precisely because of this that Pu Ruozhi's long lifespan has aroused the covetousness of some people; after all, the original purpose of practicing cultivation is to achieve immortality.
But even Emperor Realm warriors rarely have a lifespan of more than ten thousand years; and Pu Ruozhi, a mere Illusion Realm warrior, has lived for thousands of years, which will naturally arouse people's suspicion and evil intentions.
But the name of the Wushuang Sword Emperor was too loud. As a disciple of the Wushuang Sword Emperor, Pu Ruozhi lived for thousands more years. Even if he ran into trouble in the Sword Sect, no one could guarantee that he would not have a back-up plan.
The Emperor left him some trump cards. Wouldn't it be a good idea for them to go to Pu Ruozhi to die?
What's more, at that time in Donghuang, even the strongest person in Huanjing was on the same level as Pu Ruozhi.
As a result, they set their sights on the relatively weak and vulnerable descendants of the Xiao family; and the first to take action were the Chu royal family, whom Pu Ruozhi trusted the most.
Of course, the Xiao family did have the secret art of blood-melting that could prolong life; however, it was quietly stolen by the ancestors of the Qi family, hiding it from everyone.
Therefore, what happened later was that Chu Xiaoao united with warriors from the four empires to ambush Pu Ruozhi and imprison him for hundreds of years.
The context of the whole matter is clear, but there are still many questions that have not yet been solved.
For example, although Xiao Jianyun was not in the Imperial realm back then, he still had a cultivation level at the peak of Limo. Now, thousands of years apart, how could he take that step and become an Imperial realm warrior?
But he still cut off Ye Wushuang's martial arts in order to protect Ye Wushuang.
That means that Xiao Jianyun, who has entered the imperial realm, is still frightened by the terror of the enemy?
For another example, although Pu Ruozhi talked a lot, he always got stuck at every important point.
At first, Ye Wushuang just thought that Pu Ruozhi had not recovered from a serious illness and his mind had not fully recovered; but later he discovered that it was more like someone had deliberately erased some memories.
After all, Pu Ruozhi was once a warrior in the Illusion Realm. Even if he only had one phase, he would not be able to forget some things due to physical reasons; especially, those things that were obviously extremely important would be even less likely to be forgotten.
What's more, if you want to erase other people's memories, even Ye Wushuang, who was the Wushuang Sword Emperor back then, couldn't do it!
And so on, as Pu Ruozhi narrated, some things became clear, and a series of questions also emerged.
Unfortunately, at present, if Xiao Jianyun is not found, these problems cannot be explained at all!
Ye Wushuang did not know where Xiao Jianyun was or whether he was still alive.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that something must have changed on the Tianjian Continent in the ten thousand years since he disappeared; this change could even threaten the lives of all warriors on the entire continent.
For example, the weird blood-melting secret technique!
The secret art of melting blood was born in ancient times and came from the hands of the Demon Emperor of Demon Court; it fell into his hands thousands of years ago, but at that time, except for being bloody and cruel, there was nothing too surprising about this art, let alone
The ability to prolong life is not famous in Tianjian Continent.
But today, ten thousand years later, not only has it caused many people to fight for it, but it has also become even weirder, especially the ability to swallow the essence and blood of warriors and monsters to prolong life, which is extremely terrifying!
"Oh, right!"
While thinking about it, Ye Wushuang accidentally glanced at the Jiuhua Sword that pinned the Dongxu Warcraft to the ground, and asked hurriedly: "Why is this Jiuhua Sword on the Dongxu Warcraft? Moreover, when I first came in, this hole
Not only can the virtual monster transform into your appearance, but it also seems to have your memory?"
"It..."
After hearing this, Pu Ruozhi turned to look at the Hollow-Eyed Demonic Beast, sighed again, and said, "This has to start with the establishment of the Cangyun Empire."
"At that time, the Eastern Wasteland was unified, and Cangyun was the king. Chu Yu and I discussed building a palace, and finally chose the current location based on the direction of the dragon veins. However, when we started construction, we accidentally discovered that a big demon was buried here.
Monster body."
"However, I didn't care at that time. I just set up a formation to suppress the demon body. Of course, the problem was not big at first, and the demon body was indeed suppressed. But I didn't expect that within a few decades, this demon body would be born.
The monster came out of Dongxu and broke away from the formation, trying to escape from Dongxu and cause harm to the world."
"At that time, I encountered a bottleneck in practicing the secret art of blood fusion. The bloodline of monsters below the fourth grade was no longer useful to me; and in the entire Eastern Wasteland, there were very few fourth-grade monsters. Therefore, I also focused my attention on
Taking aim at this cave monster..."
"I didn't expect that after I entered the cave, I chased this beast for more than a month, but I still couldn't succeed. It even took advantage of it and took away half of my flesh and blood!"
Speaking of this, Pu Ruozhi couldn't help but clench his hands and said: "And it also swallowed most of my soul!"
What?
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was suddenly stunned.
Everything in the world has seven souls and eight souls, collectively called souls.
As a warrior's cultivation improves, his soul will be nourished and he will gradually become more powerful. After entering the martial arts, he will be renamed as a divine soul!
In other words, Shenhun is the general term for the seven souls and eight souls of martial arts warriors!
The soul is damaged, ranging from madness to death.
Although the soul is stronger than the soul, even if it is damaged, it will usually not harm life; but it will also cause the breath to be weak and the strength to decline; even, in more serious cases, it will cause the warrior to become comatose and become a living dead-like existence, which will still endanger life.
!
But the problem is that Ye Wushuang had previously examined Pu Ruozhi's condition in detail. Apart from the damage to the internal organs and the rupture of the meridians due to the huge amount of demonic power contained in the body, the only thing left was the weird bone-chilling coldness; the soul was normal.
Yes!
"What's going on?"
Ye Wushuang paused and asked in a deep voice: "I have checked your situation more than once before, and I didn't find that you were mentally injured?"
"My body and soul were split at the same time, which is equivalent to splitting into two and becoming two complete people, so it's normal that Master can't find out..."
Pu Ruozhi explained: "But this situation also caused my cultivation level to fall directly out of the illusion state, to the beginning state in one fell swoop, and even almost went crazy."
"Although later, as a last resort, I moved the Eight Desolate Dragon Formation to the palace and completely suppressed the beast. However, my cultivation has never been able to return to the illusion."
"Otherwise... how could Chu Xiaoao and those people capture me back then?"
Having said this, Pu Ruozhi slowly stood up and looked at the Dongxu Monster on the ground that had given up struggling. There was a faint hint of anger in his red and swollen old eyes!
