My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

Jiang Ling'er shrugged. "This isn't my only plan. I have other plans. If you weren't here today, he wouldn't have integrated the Human Emperor Order so quickly. That's why this attack was so hasty."

"Of course... even if we make more arrangements, there's no absolute guarantee against a being like the Grand Void Lord."

"I had already prepared myself for failure... so it's really all thanks to you."

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, you're welcome."

Jiang Linger chuckled and said, "So as a return gift, I'll tell you another piece of information."

Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What is it?"

Jiang Ling'er paused, as if recalling something, and after a moment, she spoke.

"You should know that I'm not the only one who has entered the Ninth Heaven from the outside world in search of the Bronze Gate."

"During these years in the Ninth Heaven, I have run into people of the same trade, albeit only a few times."

“There have been conflicts among them.”

"Most of these colleagues are descendants of the ancients from the outer space. They are powerful, but in my opinion, they are not that worthy of fear."

"On the contrary, there are many dangers hidden in your Nine Heavens. We outsiders have to keep a low profile."

"For example, in this life, I met a colleague who rashly entered the Chaos Demon Sea Abyss of the First Heaven. He entered in his physical body, and his strength was almost intact. However, not long after entering, he fled in a panic, dragging his body, seriously injured."

Zhong Qing raised the corner of his mouth.

The sea of ​​chaos and the abyss of sky.

The answer to why that man escaped with serious injuries is self-evident.

At this time, Jiang Linger changed the subject and her tone became serious.

"But there was only one time when the person I met was...very dangerous."

She seemed to recall something and shuddered.

"I only met him once, but that time, I wasn't even fighting him head-on before I was severely injured. My body was destroyed, and I had to reincarnate again."

"It was also after that time that I was reincarnated into the Jiang family of the First Heaven and became the current Jiang Ling'er."

"I didn't have much communication with that person. We met in the Yangyang area of ​​the Second Heaven."

"The moment we met, I felt that he, like me, was not from the Ninth Heaven."

"Moreover, he should have used the method of physical reincarnation. At that time, he had not yet fully awakened and his strength was only at the level of a True Immortal. That's why my soul was able to escape reincarnation."

"If his realm were even slightly higher, I would probably have no chance of reincarnation."

Zhong Qing touched his chin: "Oh, really?"

His tone was interested, but that was all.

At his current level, the person who was powerful and terrifying in Jiang Linger's eyes was probably just that in his eyes.

But soon, his idea was dismissed.

Jiang Linger said in a deep voice, "Even though we're both outsiders, he gives me a completely different feeling than the others... Besides, he's not here to find the Bronze Gate, he's looking for someone else."

Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Looking for someone? Who? You can't be looking for me, right?"

Jiang Ling'er shook her head.

"Of course not, but it may have something to do with you."

When these words came out, Zhong Qing was stunned.

Is it related to him?

Jiang Ling'er is about the same age as him in this life, maybe even a little older.

What Jiang Ling'er was talking about happened before she was reincarnated in this life.

He hadn't even traveled through time at that time, so what could it have to do with him?

But Jiang Ling'er stared at Zhong Qing and spoke word by word.

"He's looking for a man dressed in black, holding a sickle in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Zhong Qing's face froze.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Linger said in a deep voice, "At that time, he was also dressed in black and seemed unconscious. He wandered around the Second Heaven, asking others if they had seen such a person."

"I was passing by and heard the rumors, but didn't think much of it until I happened to run into him outside the city."

"The moment I saw him, I felt terrified. I felt like we were both from outsiders, but he didn't even seem to be of the same race as us."

"The suffocating fear hidden deep inside is something most people can't experience."

"He seemed to sense that I was different from the others and started asking me questions. I was so frightened that I didn't answer and turned and ran away."

"He suddenly became angry, caught up with me, and destroyed my body with just one move."

"My cultivation in that life was close to sublime, but I was powerless in front of him."

"With only my primordial spirit left, I fled in panic, not even daring to look back."

Jiang Ling'er paused.

"Although this matter is strange, there is no need to bring it up specifically."

"But until this life, when we first met, among the thirteen guys you brought with you, there was one who was like that, holding a sickle in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand, right?"

"After I awakened my memory in this life, I recalled what happened back then."

"Not long after that, there was the great battle in the Ninth Heaven. The man in black holding the sickle who appeared at the end should be him, right? But his appearance seems to have changed a bit, and I haven't seen the lantern yet."

"Thinking back to my past life, I'm not sure if this matter has anything to do with you."

Now Zhong Qing couldn't laugh anymore.

Of course this matter has something to do with him.

Since Zhong Qing traveled through time, he has only known one person who holds a sickle in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand.

Isn’t that his scarecrow?

The reason Jiang Ling'er didn't see the lantern wasn't because it didn't exist, but because she didn't bring it with her.

The Scarecrow came to help at that time. The shadow of the Human Emperor he was dealing with had no soul, so he didn't need a lantern and could solve the problem with just a sickle.

So, the mysterious man that Jiang Linger met was looking for the scarecrow?
