Chapter 934: The Queen's Trap

The words gradually became sadder, echoing in this dark cave without sunlight, and it was extremely desolate.

The middle-aged Xianglang's voice became increasingly low, and was about to fade away.

Zhou You knew that the opportunity was rare and he must seize this hard-earned chance to break the deadlock.

The Queen of Charm took great pains to let Liu Jinguo lead the way here. There must be a conspiracy. Now that the origin of this place has been revealed, can we find out something about the relationship between the Martial Saint of All Things and the Queen of Charm?
"Senior, can you listen to me?"

"Ok?"

The middle-aged Xiang Lang said dejectedly, "I am just a discarded thing, not the real body of the Martial Saint. What do you want to say?"

"The Wanxiang Martial Saint made a mistake in his later years, and the impact has continued to this day, and that is the enchantment in the dream!"

"Mei, your companion, she..."

The middle-aged Xianglang said categorically, "Impossible, 'he' will never compromise with the aliens, or even collude with them!"

"Let me explain in detail..."

Zhou You quickly told the legend that was passed down through the generations, even though he knew that Xiang Lang's cognition stopped at the moment of Di Zong and he had no idea of ​​what happened afterwards.

But no matter what, his personality remains the same, and the other party should be able to deduce the trajectory of Wanxiang Martial Saint's future big mistakes.

"..."

After listening to this, the middle-aged Xianglang remained silent for a long time, so long that Zhou You thought he was about to disappear...

He stared into the dark void and said, "I remembered an old incident from years ago..."

"When Xianglang was young, he had a childhood sweetheart. He was a slave who trained elephants, and the girl was also a slave. They had a very good relationship."

"The two of them have been supporting each other since they were young. Many years later, Xiang Lang returned after becoming a skilled warrior."

"The girl who was my childhood sweetheart has become seriously ill. She is thirsty for blood and raw meat. She is unconscious and bites anyone she sees. Although she is thin, she has amazing brute force. Three or five big men can't hold her down, so they have to tie her up with iron chains."

"She couldn't even recognize the elephant anymore. She just kept biting him like crazy, craving for blood and flesh."

At this point, the middle-aged Xianglang asked Zhou You, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Zhou You thought that this serious illness was somewhat similar to being possessed by a ghost, but it might not have existed in that era. Perhaps it was a viral infection...

“Looking for a good doctor and magic medicine, maybe the disease can be cured!”

From ancient times to the present, although diseases are fierce, medical standards are extremely high and they can always be cured as long as we find a way.

"Yeah, that's what he thought at first!"

The middle-aged Xiang Lang said slowly, "Xiang Lang carried his childhood sweetheart on his back, traveled across mountains and rivers, went to the North, the West, and even sailed out to sea, but he couldn't find a cure."

"My childhood sweetheart is getting sicker day by day. His skin and flesh are turning black and hard like dead wood. He is no longer in human form."

"There are only two options left..."

"The life span of a mortal is no more than a hundred years. As childhood sweethearts, they can only live for a few decades. Even if I have to kill livestock to feed her, I can still take care of her until she dies."

Zhou You frowned and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Wanxiang Martial Saint's goal is to become the Human Martial Saint. He can't be dragged down."

Caring for a seriously ill person requires too much energy and is likely to affect the progress of martial arts.

"...There is only one way left, and that is to kill my childhood sweetheart, sever the ties of friendship, and free her!"

Zhou You's body shook violently. He seemed to have guessed something and asked hurriedly, "He, not you, which path did you choose?"

The middle-aged elephant man smiled, a smile that was full of sadness, "I don't know, guess!"

The next moment, his voice faded and disappeared again.

This time it disappeared completely and never appeared again, and the underground space fell into deathly silence.

"Master Zhou, have you ever thought about why the Queen of Charm has never appeared?" Liu Jinguo's voice sounded from behind.

Zhou You shook his head. He remained highly alert from beginning to end, but there was no sign of the Queen of Charm appearing either on the panel or in the surrounding environment.

Liu Jinguo said sadly, "From the moment we set foot on this journey, her plan had already been completed. She retired and waited for the situation to develop. She didn't need to show up at all!"

"Don't you feel familiar with the story of the Wanxiang Martial Saint just now?"

Childhood sweethearts, incurable serious illness... and so on.

Zhou You suddenly looked at Liu Jinguo. The scene was exactly the same as it was back then.

No wonder the smile on the middle-aged Xianglang's face before he disappeared was full of reminiscence and sadness. He saw himself in Zhou You.

The Queen of Charm, what a Queen of Charm she is, she has played with the human nature to this extent.

It turns out that the protagonist of this "feast" is not Liu Jinguo, but him... Zhou You.

Isn't it true that Liu Jinguo, who is infected with the "Charm", is just like her childhood sweetheart Xiang Lang, who suffers from an incurable disease that gets worse with the passage of time, until she is faced with a life-or-death dilemma?

First, raising them and feeding them with blood and flesh is an approach that is completely different from the current environment and carries great risks. Once exposed, it is very likely to be ruined.

Even more so, associating with evil creatures, there is even the danger of being polluted and assimilated, which is definitely not a good way for Zhou You, who pursues martial arts.

The second one is to kill...

"I understand!"

Zhou You blurted out, and at the same time, Liu Jinguo also said, "I understand too."

No matter which path he chooses, it will leave an eternal shadow in his heart, which will evolve into a "demon in his heart" over a long period of time.

Even though Wanxiang Wusheng cut off the past when he was in Dizong, he still couldn't eliminate this influence.

It was not until he achieved the status of Martial Saint that hidden dangers erupted, eventually leading to the creation of the monster known as the Charm Queen.

"Zhou You, now that we have seen through the Queen's conspiracy, we...we must not be fooled!"

Liu Jinguo said firmly, "You can't choose either of these two paths. If you choose either one, you will fall into the trap of the Charm Queen and become the second Wanxiang Wusheng."

This is obvious.

The Queen deliberately left this place behind for the descendants of the clan and lured them here in order to select candidates who meet the requirements.

Zhou You defeated the afterimage test of Wanxiang Martial Saint and was recognized as having the qualifications to be promoted to Martial Saint.

So if he were to follow the old path of the All-Seeing Martial Saint in the future, would he release a second Queen of Charm and cause even greater harm?

The two shuddered at the thought of a future filled with devastation.

The Queen's plan is so huge that it will overturn the sky and cover the earth, causing chaos in the world. If she succeeds, they will become sinners for all eternity.

Therefore, there is no way to go on with the future she has planned, it must be destroyed.

"So, I have a third way..."

Liu Jinguo's expression showed determination, "Zhou You, go ahead and leave me here."

She made up her mind to commit suicide after Zhou You left, thus putting an end to all the plans of the Queen.

The reason why Liu Jinguo let Zhou You leave first was that she was afraid that she would commit suicide in front of him and affect Zhou You's mood.

"Empress Charm, I won this round. Your plan this time is doomed to fail."

Liu Jinguo laughed hard in her heart.

At this moment, her heart was filled with determination to sacrifice.
