Granny Haitang said: "I went to Shengming Imperial City, met the Qing Emperor, and some of the relics of the Shengming Central Empire. I asked the poor people, and also communicated with monks from major forces. The more I learned, the more I felt in my heart.
It was helpless. Finally, silently, I returned to Jiange."
Next, Grandma Haitang told what happened at that time, which was similar to what Chi Yao said at Moon God Mountain.
Emperor Ming did not know the identity of the Blood Queen at first.
After the Blood Queen became the queen, she controlled most of the imperial court of the Shengming Central Empire through Kong Lanyou's grandfather Kong Shanngling and others. Some of the courtiers were transformed by being drained of blood by the undead vampires. Some were directly controlled by the Blood Queen.
The soul.
The entire Shengming Central Empire, from the imperial court to the grassroots, has been completely eroded by the Undead Vampires. It is impossible to tell who is the Undead Vampire, who obeys the orders of the Undead Vampires, and who is loyal to the Shengming.
After hearing these words, Zhang Ruochen was calm from beginning to end.
He knew that most of what Grandma Haitang said was true.
Because the Blood Queen has her own position, she is an undead vampire, and she comes to the Kunlun Realm to represent the hell realm, and also represents the interests of the undead vampires.
Moreover, the Blood Queen must also have such skills and abilities.
The Blood Queen's disciple, Qiu Yichi, is good at the "Way of the Soul" and the "Ecstasy Blood Technique".
Qiu Yichi, who was only in the realm of a saint, was able to control the Blood God Sect and the Qinglong Ruins Realm under Yan Liren's nose.
After breaking through to the realm of the Holy King, she became the number one person on the Heavenly Saint King-level killer bounty list. She was known as the "Inner Demon" and controlled a large number of powerful people with the way of the soul.
And she is just a disciple of the Blood Queen.
As a first-rate figure among the Great Sages, how advanced has the Blood Queen’s spiritual path and ecstasy blood technique reached?
Even the prince's eunuch, Shangguan Que, was controlled by her. Zhang Ruochen naturally didn't find it strange that other people in the court were also controlled.
In terms of abilities in all aspects, Zhang Ruochen felt that the Blood Queen surpassed Emperor Ming.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen also believed in his heart that perhaps the Blood Queen's initial approach to Emperor Ming was purely to control Emperor Ming, control the Shengming Central Empire, and even launch a war to control the entire Kunlun Realm.
But later on, they must have had deep feelings.
If there is no emotion, with the character of the Blood Queen, she will never give birth to a child for Emperor Ming, and will only treat him as a puppet like a blood slave.
Grandma Haitang said: "After Emperor Ming disappeared, Kong Shanggong united with a large number of courtiers to take over the government with lightning power and took over the palace of Emperor Ming."
"At that time, the head of the Murong family, Murong Chengde, was one of the three princes. He was worshiped as Taifu. He led a group of courtiers and scolded Kong Shangli for being rebellious and seeking to usurp the throne. He advocated that a member of the Zhang family should be supported to become the new Ming Emperor.
.It’s a pity that he was suppressed and persecuted by Kong Shang’s order, and I don’t know how many people died.”
"Later, Chi Qing's Central Empire's army invaded the Shengming Imperial City, and the Murong family and the courtiers fought until the last minute. Unfortunately, there was no way to save the day, and in the end, they had to withdraw. Some hid in the evil land of the Eastern Region, and some
Escaped into the wild secret realm, or traveled far away to the ruins of the outside world."
"Perhaps Chi Yao and Qing Emperor just want to destroy the undead vampires and those controlled by the Blood Queen. However, war is always uncontrollable. Once it breaks out, it will inevitably hurt innocent people and create countless hatreds. There is hatred.
, will inevitably lead to more evil, darkness, and killing, and no one can stop it."
"The Emperor can't stop it, and neither can the gods!"
"The emperor is just the trunk of a big tree. No matter how much the trunk shakes, it can't shake away the dust on every leaf."
"In war, more innocent people die than the damned."
"Tell me, who is right and who is wrong?"
"I still haven't thought about this problem. Maybe the root cause is the incident 300,000 years ago. It's the fault of the times and the fault of the world."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were neither sad nor happy, and he said: "Where are the children of the Zhang family? Since my mother-in-law is the guardian of the Zhang family, she can't just watch them being killed and remain indifferent, right?"
"Do you know why I returned to Jiange silently in the end?" Granny Haitang said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Could it be those children of the Zhang family..."
Grandma Haitang nodded and said: "Most of the children of the Zhang family have already left the Kunlun Realm and went to the Suzaku Xu Realm under the leadership of the eldest princess, your aunt."
"I see."
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, feeling empty, confused, and upset.
Whose fault is it?
The Blood Queen's fault?
Emperor Ming’s fault?
Is it the fault of those awakened people in Kunlun Realm?
Chi Yao and Qing Emperor's fault?
…
However, in the context of that era, everyone was unable to help themselves and did what they should do most. From their respective standpoints, there was nothing wrong and everyone was wrong.
These emotions only lasted for a moment before they were driven away by him.
Opening his eyes again, Zhang Ruochen's eyes became sharp again and said: "Everyone understands the truth. But who can be relieved when it happens to me? I can't."
Granny Haitang didn't say much because she understood that what happened back then was indeed unfair to Zhang Ruochen and he had suffered too much.
The father was indecisive, incompetent, and the mother brought trouble to the saints. Both of them were accused by thousands of people and learned the truth.
His heart is probably more painful than before, right?
Half of the blood of the Kunlun world and half of the blood of the hell world are sins in themselves. They are neither tolerated by the Kunlun world nor the hell world.
He finally changed his fate against fate, lived a second life, and became a real human being. He was about to become the backbone of the Kunlun world and the hero of salvation, and was accepted by most monks.
However, he was forced to have no choice but to fuse the body of his previous life and become a half-human, half-immortal vampire again.
It was as if he was being teased and tortured by fate, and could never escape its grasp.
It's like a chess piece on a chessboard. Some people want it to go east, while others want it to go west. Even if you change your destiny, in the end, you still have to return to the trajectory of your destiny.
Zhang Ruochen pointed to the sky and said: "Even if the destruction of the Shengming Central Empire is inevitable, even if the Holy Monk Xumi changed my life and became a real human being. But back then, why was Chi Yao killed?
I?"
"have no idea."
Granny Haitang shook her head and said, "You can only ask her this question."
Zhang Ruochen had already asked Chi Yao this question, but unfortunately there was no result at all.
Compared with Chi Yao, his cultivation level is too low!
Unless her cultivation level exceeds hers, maybe she can get the result through questioning.
…
On that cosmic rock, Zhang Ruochen sat quietly alone, motionless, as if he had turned into a stone.
Three days later.
Xiao Hei cried sadly, flew down to the rock, sat next to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "There are some truths that I would rather not know. After knowing them, it will actually make people so painful."
Zhang Ruochen felt that he had found someone with the same problem, and asked with concern: "What's the truth?"
"My life experience." Xiao Hei's tone was sad and extremely sad.
As expected, we are in the same boat.
Zhang Ruochen patted its wings and said: "Don't be sad. No matter how great the pain is, it can be overcome. Those pains are just sharpening our hearts. Tell me, it might make things better."
"Really?"
Xiaohei looked at Zhang Ruochen eagerly.
Zhang Ruochen suppressed the hardship in his heart, tried his best to smile brightly, and nodded to it with encouraging eyes.
Xiao Hei sighed and said: "The Dragon Lord said that he is my mother's best friend and asked me to call him uncle from now on. If the gods are targeting me, I can report his name directly."
"puff!"
Zhang Ruochen felt like he had been stabbed.
It is the dream of many monks to have a person of Dragon Lord's level as their uncle. Why are you so sad?
Show off?
Xiao Hei added: "The Dragon Lord said that the Ice Emperor is my father. If you encounter trouble in the hell world, you can go to him directly. Do you think you can bear this?"
"puff!"
Zhang Ruochen felt like he had been stabbed again.
The Ice King is such a powerful figure. Even though he has been imprisoned, he is still powerful and has huge influence.
Not only did you find your father, but he was also such a powerful father. What can't you tolerate?
Xiao Hei continued: "The Dragon Lord said that the Lord of the God of Death Island is my master, and my mother is his most proud disciple. She was once one of the most powerful formation masters, and she has the hope of becoming the formation master."
"puff!"
The third knife.
I mean to comfort you, why do you treat me like this?
Zhang Ruochen felt that Xiao Hei was deliberately trying to anger him, so he finally couldn't help it and wanted to take action.
Let's have a fight, only then will we be happy.
"The Dragon Lord said, my mother is dead!" Xiao Hei said weakly with a cat face on his shoulder.
Zhang Ruochen put his hand down and didn't know how to comfort it. He gently patted its wings and said, "My condolences!"
Like him, Xiao Hei also hates the undead vampires. It is indeed not a happy thing to know that his father is the god of the undead vampires.
"What's the point of expressing condolences? When she died, I was very young and had no memory at all. What's the point of expressing condolences?" Xiao Hei raised his voice and patted his chest, saying this.
Zhang Ruochen knew it very well, and his previous emotions were not fake.
The reason why it said this may be to be tough, or it may be because it wants to use this method to make Zhang Ruochen understand that everything can be taken lightly.
The past is not theirs to decide.
The future is not certain.
Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw Dragon Lord, Blood Spirit Immortal, and Granny Haitang walking over.
He stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Lord Dragon!"
"How do you feel after knowing the truth?" Dragon Lord asked.
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay."
"You can still laugh, it seems like it's really okay."
The Dragon Lord put his hands behind his back and asked: "Kunlun Realm and the Undead Vampire Clan, you must make a choice and stand firmly on one side, otherwise you will be in more pain in the future. People who want to have both, often fail to have both."
"I will seriously consider this issue." Zhang Ruochen said.
The Dragon Lord laughed and said: "No matter what choice you make in the future, at least now, you have helped the Kunlun Realm a lot in rescuing the island owner. I will also help you!"
"What is Lord Dragon referring to?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Dragon Lord said: "Practice your holy will to me."
