The Legend of the Demon Hunter

With a flash of light, Xiao Zhu and the other two appeared in a hall on the top floor of the Hunting King Tower. There were six rooms in front of them. Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, not knowing which room to go to.

At this moment, a flash of light from a magic circle came from behind him. Xiao Zhu understood what that meant. It was Li Jiufeng and other demon hunters who caught up with him!

In a hurry, Xiao Zhu randomly picked a room and ran in with Lin Xuemiao and Tang Yiran.

The door closed behind the three of them.

The room was not big and there was no furniture in it. The four walls, roof and floor were all made of silver wood. Xiao Zhu suspected that the tower was a pure wooden structure, but he had never seen this kind of silver wood before.

"Xiao, look here!" Lin Xuemiao seemed to step on something and pointed at the ground.

Xiao Zhu looked down and saw a groove on the ground. There were seven different patterns drawn around the groove. The seven patterns formed a ring that surrounded the groove.

When Lin Xuemiao's foot stepped on the groove, the seven patterns lit up at the same time.

"This is..." Xiao Zhu and Tang Yiran's eyes fell on the groove at the same time.

"Boom!" At this moment, there was a loud banging sound coming from the door, and the whole room shook. It was obvious that someone was using brute force to destroy the door of this house.

The vibration made the three of them nervous. Tang Yi was still panicking and said, "They are catching up with us. What should we do?"

Xiao Zhu was at a loss. At this moment, Lin Xuemiao, who had been staring at the pattern on the ground, suddenly said, "This pattern seems to have a pattern!"

"Boom!" The second sound of knocking on the door was heard. Fortunately, this silver wooden door was quite strong and was not damaged after withstanding two impacts.

"What's the rule?" Xiao Zhu asked hurriedly.

"Look, the colors of these seven patterns are yellow, green, blue, red, brown, white, and purple, representing seven different elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. And this thunder pattern, does it look like the flower we saw on Thunder Island that day?"

"Yes, it's the lightning flower!" Xiao Zhu suddenly realized, and he immediately took out the lightning flower he picked that day from the glimmering amber bracelet.

"Boom!" The third impact sounded. After this impact, cracks finally appeared on the door of the room, and it was probably unable to withstand the next attack.

Xiao Zhu glanced at the direction of the door and knew that they didn't have much time left. He picked up the lightning flower and moved closer to the white pattern, and found that the two looked exactly the same.

Xiao Zhu prayed silently in his heart.

When the lightning flower touched the white pattern, it suddenly disappeared from Xiao Zhu's hand with a whoosh, and appeared in the central groove as if it had teleported. Then a strong white light shot out from the groove, and Xiao Zhu and the other two were enveloped by the white light and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Boom!" The fourth collision sound was heard. This time the impact force was greater than the previous three. The silver wooden door was completely knocked away. Li Jiufeng rushed in with an angry face. He looked around the room and saw that the room was empty, with only seven patterns on the ground and a groove in the middle.

What was strange was that among the seven patterns, one white flower pattern had dimmed.

……

Lin Xuemiao opened her eyes.

She was standing in a courtyard at this moment. She looked around and was very familiar with every house and every plant in the courtyard.

This is her home, where she grew up.

But there was no one in the courtyard at this time, which triggered some painful memories deep in her mind, and she felt a slight headache.

Lin Xuemiao walked along the road towards the backyard. He stepped through the backyard gate and saw a man standing in the yard with his hands behind his back and his back facing her.

"Xiao? Is that you?" Lin Xuemiao asked doubtfully.

The man heard Lin Xuemiao's voice and slowly turned around.

Lin Xuemiao saw his face clearly. She was struck by lightning and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Chiyan? Why is it you? Aren't you dead?" Lin Xuemiao asked in astonishment.

"Yes, my dear fiancée, I am indeed dead, murdered by you yourself." The man's eyes revealed resentment.

After a brief panic, Lin Xuemiao slowly came to her senses. She gently stroked the stone wall at the gate and said, "This is an illusion! I didn't expect everything in the illusion to be so realistic. Even the traces left by time on the stone wall are clearly visible. Lin Chiyan, I thought I had let you go, but I didn't expect you to appear in my illusion."

"My name is not Lin Chiyan!" The man suddenly shouted in a frenzy, "My name is Wang Chen, and this name is taken from the surnames of my biological parents. Over the years, I have acknowledged the thief as my father in the Lin family just for revenge."

"Okay, then I will call you Wang Chen. Let me ask you, how has the Lin family treated you in the past ten years?" Lin Xuemiao asked, looking directly into the other person's eyes.

Wang Chen was speechless after hearing this. He was stunned for a moment, then his expression full of hatred returned. “You, the Lin family, are all a bunch of hypocrites, and your father, Lin Qingshan, is the biggest hypocrite. You raised the children of your enemies just to humiliate the Wang family!”

"Then why did my father want to marry me to you?" Lin Xuemiao asked immediately.

"Hmph! He just took a fancy to my bloodline of wind, wood and earth attributes and wanted to use me." Wang Chen snorted.

"You're wrong." Lin Xuemiao took a step forward and said, "Dad really treats you as his own son. He has no sons, only me as his daughter. A month before we got married, he mentioned to me that after we got married, he would pass the position of the head of the family to you."

Wang Chen was stunned, the hatred in his expression turned into confusion, and asked: "Did he really say that?"

Lin Xuemiao nodded: "It's absolutely true. It's a pity that you poisoned 37 members of the Lin family at the banquet on the eve of the wedding. If I hadn't wasted time choosing wedding clothes that day, I might have died at your hands."

As she said this, Lin Xuemiao felt a sharp pain in her head, as if the tragedy of that night was replaying in her mind again.

"The hatred for my father's murder is irreconcilable! The Lin family killed my parents, and I should avenge them. Now that I have done this, I will never regret it!" Wang Chen's expression became firm again.

"Then do you know that your parents deliberately introduced the monsters into Pingjin City for their own selfish desires, resulting in the deaths of more than 300 civilians."

"Bah! That's just an excuse your Lin family made to frame them!"

"Whether it's a lie or the truth, you can ask the people of Pingjin City. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

After hearing Lin Xuemiao's words, Wang Chen didn't know how to respond.

"Your parents murdered the people of Pingjin City, so my father killed them. But you were only nine years old that year. My father believed that the youngest son was innocent, so he brought you to the Lin family to raise you. However, he did not expect that he would let a wolf into the house, and in the end the entire Lin family was killed. Isn't it wrong for me to kill you for this?" Lin Xuemiao said.

When she said this, her expression was very calm, as if such a tragic tragedy was not happening to her.

Wang Chen's expression was dull. He lowered his head and turned his eyes away from Lin Xuemiao.

"Wang Chen, although I know that you are just an illusion in my mind at this moment, I still want to ask you something." Lin Xuemiao looked directly at Wang Chen and said.

Wang Chen raised his head and looked at Lin Xuemiao in confusion.

"In the past ten years that you have been with me, whether as a brother or sister or as an engaged couple, are your feelings for me real or fake?"

Wang Chen stared straight at Lin Xuemiao, but he did not answer.

Lin Xuemiao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I understand."

Then she took a step back and retreated from the backyard to the front yard. As she retreated, everything around her, including Wang Chen, turned into circles of ripples and disappeared.
