Subconsciously, Chen Ling thought that this matter had nothing to do with them.
When she first heard the residents here discussing this matter, Chen Ling thought in her heart that she just needed to be by Wang Yulin's side, and she didn't want to take care of the rest.
What he never expected was that the Valley Master would actually come to talk to Chen Ling about something.
Chen Ling didn't guess what the Valley Master wanted to do when he said this, and neither did Wang Yulin.
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with them, and Wang Yulin doesn't know why the Valley Master wants to tell them about this matter.
The two looked at each other, and then listened to the Valley Master continue to speak.
"Because in the Valley of the Dead, Ms. Chen must be able to sense that the most powerful person here is me. The rest of us are close to longevity and their cultivation strength is not very strong.
How can a group of old, weak, sick and disabled resist them? And our Valley of the Dead is at the uppermost reaches of the River Styx. This is the most sacred place in the entire River Styx. Every confrontation and conflict is because of the Valley of the Dead.
s position.
The conflict is the same this time, because of the excellent location of the Valley of the Dead, the two forces actually joined forces to drive us out of here."
Chen Ling and Wang Yulin didn't know the rules of this world. What's more, when they first came here, they didn't know they could go in directly, so they waited outside all day.
Listening quietly to the Valley Master's continued words, there was no longer the usual noisy sound outside, only the sound of the wind that sounded like transcendence.
This was a strange phenomenon, but neither Chen Ling nor Wang Yulin noticed it.
Chen Ling himself has no hostility towards the outside world and thinks that any situation is normal, while Wang Yulin has lost all his spiritual power and his ability to react has almost disappeared.
The two of them listened to the Valley Master's words and gradually understood what the Valley Master wanted to say.
"In the past, every once in a while, the valley owners of the Three Holy Lands would negotiate together, but this time, without the knowledge of the Valley of the Dead, the leaders of the Burning Soul Valley and Shrinking Soul Tomb actually united together.
In previous confrontations, we have never picked up weapons, we have just talked about it with words, but now they want to use the power of weapons to drive away all the people in the Valley of the Dead."
Saying that the Valley Master looked sad, he stood up from the chair made by Chen Ling, then bent his knees to kneel down to Chen Ling.
Although Chen Ling, as Chen Xuan's daughter, could withstand his kneeling, since Chen Xuan lived in seclusion, Chen Ling would rarely have anyone kneel to her.
Quickly standing up, Chen Ling supported the Valley Master.
"Valley Master, what are you doing?"
The owner of the valley looked extremely sad at this time and said: "Miss Chen, I have been thinking about something in the house these days, and my head is about to fall off.
I know that you were treated like that by the residents in the valley when you first came here. You must feel in your heart that the life and death of us people have nothing to do with you, and if these people die, maybe Ms. Chen will still feel very happy.
But...Miss Chen..."
At this time, Chen Ling was in a confused state. She didn't understand why the Valley Master suddenly knelt down for her, and she didn't know what the Valley Master meant.
But Wang Yulin had already guessed the purpose of the Valley Master coming here today.
No matter when Chen Ling and others were bullied before, the Valley Master did not come forward to mediate for whatever reason. Today, he suddenly came to visit and apologize. Wang Yulin originally felt that this was very wrong.
Moreover, the words that the Valley Master just said have actually stated the entire purpose.
All the people here are old, weak, sick and disabled. Faced with the joint attack of Qi Yu's two forces, they have no ability to resist.
This was indeed the case. At this time, Wang Yulin was completely unable to resist the attack.
Now the only person with that ability is Chen Ling.
In this Valley of the Dead, Chen Ling is the only normal person.
She still has tens of thousands of years of life left, and her cultivation strength is still very strong. She is the only one who has the strength to withstand the siege of the two forces.
No... maybe it's not that you have the strength to resist, but that you have the opportunity to resist.
Wang Yulin has never seen the strength between these two forces and does not know it clearly.
Not knowing the strength of the enemy is very disadvantageous for Chen Ling, and although Chen Ling is the only normal person, even if the opponent is like that, he has no cultivation strength and is old, weak, sick, and disabled, but this does not mean that Chen Ling
Ling will definitely win.
Wang Yulin knew before that the Valley Master was planning, but he didn't know before that the Valley Master's calculations were so loud.
People here have never treated them kindly, especially Chen Ling.
Just because Chen Ling is young, beautiful and a normal person, people here insult Chen Ling as usual.
And just now, even when the Valley Master brought people to apologize, these people didn't know if they were sincere, and when Chen Ling didn't respond to his apology, Nian Zhi even tried to attack Chen Ling.
People who treated Chen Ling like this are now asking Chen Ling to protect them?
There is also the risk of injury or loss of life.
Wang Yulin didn't understand why someone would be so shameless to plead for mercy.
His expression suddenly changed, from being relatively gentle just now, to becoming cold and indifferent.
Leaning forward, Wang Yulin reached out and grabbed Chen Ling's hand and pulled Chen Ling back.
Chen Ling thought something had happened to Wang Yulin, so he subconsciously sent the Valley Master away and returned to Wang Yulin.
As soon as the valley owner saw Wang Yulin's expression, he knew that he understood what was going on and that Wang Yulin would definitely not agree.
But the Valley Master didn't give up, because Wang Yulin was about to die, and their target was Chen Ling.
As soon as Chen Ling's hand left, the Valley Master knelt down on the ground. Two drops of turbid tears squeezed out of his turbid eyes. He looked at Chen Ling and cried.
"Miss Chen, you are the only one who can save the Valley of the Dead now. You are the only person in the valley who is healthy and has strong cultivation. Only you can save us.
I know that they have offended you many times before, but they are also country folk and have always been like this. They don't have much malice.
Miss Chen, they have also come to apologize to you, please save us!
"
As he spoke, the Valley Master kept kowtowing down to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling also understood what the Valley Master meant at this time. Although she felt a little inappropriate in her heart, she also felt that what the Valley Master said was correct.
The Valley Master continued to kowtow to Chen Ling. Wang Yulin looked at the Valley Master coldly and held Chen Ling's hand without letting go.
At that time, Chen Ling subconsciously let go of Wang Yulin's hand and wanted to help the Valley Master up.
But Wang Yulin refused to let go of Chen Ling's hand.
In fact, at this point, Wang Yulin didn't have much strength anymore, but he still held Chen Ling's hand tightly, preventing her from going forward to help the Valley Master.
The Valley Master also saw the situation clearly, and then he kowtowed harder and cried even more vigorously.
Chen Ling looked at Wang Yulin with a puzzled look, but Wang Yulin just shook his head at Chen Ling.
"Valley Master, please come back. I told you that I am a dying person and am already on my deathbed. Although my wife is the only normal person in the valley, we have only been here for less than a month, and you are not here either.
Knowing how the people here treat my wife, we have absolutely no reason to risk our lives for you."
Hearing Wang Yulin's words, Chen Ling became even more puzzled, "Brother Yulin?"
She didn't know why Wang Yulin's life was involved.
It is true that there are people in the Relic Realm who are very powerful in cultivation, but their lifespan is running out, and their spiritual energy will be depleted accordingly.
Even if there are people who are stronger than Chen Ling in cultivation, it is almost impossible to defeat Chen Ling.
Although Chen Ling was angry that they had hurt them and then sought Chen Ling's help, in Chen Ling's heart, if she helped the residents in the Valley of the Dead, it would be considered a blessing for Wang Yulin.
Moreover, Chen Ling and the others will stay in this place for more than twenty days. Before Wang Yulin's death, Chen Ling wants to be quiet.
He didn't want so many people to find trouble. Chen Ling was scolded, and even Wang Yulin felt uncomfortable.
In the last moments of his life, Chen Ling wanted Wang Yulin and both of them to be more pure.
Although it is said that the Valley Master brought someone to apologize today and asked Chen Ling to help them, it would be okay if Chen Ling agreed. If Chen Ling refused, I am afraid that Chen Ling and Wang Yulin would not have a good life in the future.
But what Chen Ling didn't know at this moment was that if she didn't agree, the Valley Master's last resort would be to drive them both away.
The current Valley Master still feels soft-hearted when looking at Chen Ling, but Wang Yulin is unwilling.
Seeing the chill in Wang Yulin's eyes, the Valley Master kowtowed louder.
Chen Ling listened to the Valley Master's wailing, looked at Wang Yulin and groaned, then stretched out his hands to break free from Wang Yulin's restraints.
"Mei Ling?"
Seeing Chen Ling's determined eyes and hand movements, Wang Yulin looked at her in disbelief.
Chen Ling only looked at Wang Yulin and said: "Brother Yulin, you have to let the Valley Master stand up first. He is so old, and we cannot let him kowtow to us all the time."
When she said this, Wang Yulin couldn't say anything more. He just pursed his lips and allowed Chen Ling to let go of his hand.
Chen Ling helped the Valley Master up and said while helping him up: "Valley Master, if you have anything to say, stand up and say it carefully."
Originally, the Valley Master planned not to get up if Chen Ling didn't agree, but when he saw Wang Yulin's face looking so bad from the corner of his eye, he stopped kneeling down.
Pretending to wipe away his tears, he was helped up by Chen Ling, who continued to say miserably: "Miss Chen, I know it was our people in the valley who broke your heart.
It's just that this matter happened at a coincidental time. It happened to be that during the time you were here, the other two forces were suppressing us in the Valley of the Dead, so the residents in the valley were in a bad mood."
This story is actually not false, and during these days here, Chen Ling often heard residents here scolding people from the other two places.
It was precisely because of this appearance that Chen Ling believed what the Valley Master said.
Seeing the continued wavering on Chen Ling's face, the Valley Master continued: "If the other two forces jointly attack the Valley of the Dead, then even though the residents in the valley are all about to die, they still have some time to survive.
Survive.
And you are now residents of the valley, so you should do something. If they attack and hit us, we will die. Now that you are here, don't you still care?
We just want Miss Chen to protect you while protecting yourself. Although we are all dying, who doesn’t want to live a better life at the last moment of his life?
Miss Chen, you also have this scruple, and you also hope that your husband can have a better time in his last days, right?"
As he spoke, the Valley Master glanced at Wang Yulin and met Wang Yulin's resolute eyes. That look intimidated the Valley Master. He was so busy that he lowered his head again and continued to pretend to be suffering.
Chen Ling's heart here can be considered to have been figured out by the Valley Master. Every word the Valley Master said had a strong hold on Chen Ling's lifeblood.
Yes, it’s okay for her to have a bad life, but it’s the last moment of Wang Yulin’s life. How can she let Wang Yulin have a bad life?
However, although Chen Ling already had a plan in her heart, she was not a Holy Mother, and Wang Yulin was unusual today. She had to at least ask Wang Yulin what he meant before making a decision.
Looking at the Valley Master and then at Wang Yulin, whose eyes were now showing a hostile state, Chen Ling was startled and looked at the Valley Master and said: "Valley Master, I understand everything you said, and I also know what you mean.
But the matter is not a trivial matter. I still need to discuss it with my husband. How about you go back first and I will give you an answer later, okay?"
The Valley Master heard this and glanced at Wang Yulin. Wang Yulin just looked at the Valley Master hostilely from beginning to end.
When the valley owner saw this, although he had a strong opinion of Wang Yulin, he could only stay like this at this time.
Bending over to Chen Ling, the Valley Master said: "Miss Chen, please discuss this with your husband. I have really offended you a few days ago. If I hadn't been so helpless, I would never have come out now."
I apologize to you.
Mainly because I just came out and realized that the residents behaved like this towards you, I'm really sorry."
Hearing this, Chen Ling frowned slightly and nodded, then made a gesture of seeing off the guests without saying anything else.
Seeing this, the owner of the valley had no choice but to leave first.
After the valley owner left, Chen Ling closed their tent and set up a soundproof barrier around the tent.
Looking at Wang Yulin who still had a hint of hostility on his face, Chen Ling smiled and went to sit next to him. He took Wang Yulin's hand and touched it. Chen Ling said: "Brother Yulin, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry?"
ah?"
Wang Yulin curled his lips and said, "What's wrong? I saw that he was going to sell you right away. Can I not be angry?"
Chen Ling was puzzled and looked at Wang Yulin and said: "No, Brother Yulin, what the Valley Master just said is true, and we are indeed in the Valley of the Dead now and are residents of the Valley of the Dead. We can't live without death.
Help."
This is indeed the case. What Chen Ling has heard these days, Wang Yulin has naturally heard too.
They really had no reason to lie to Chen Ling in this situation.
But what makes Wang Yulin irritated is that the residents here treated Chen Ling like that before, insulting and insulting them. Now that they are in danger, they want Chen Ling to protect them.
Isn’t this nonsense?
Moreover, Wang Yulin is also worried that these people want Chen Ling to resist the people from the other two realms alone. If this is the case, then Wang Yulin is also worried that Chen Ling will not be able to defeat them.
To put it nicely, this realm is filled with old and dying people.
But what if it’s the kind of person who hides his secrets?
If Wang Yulin is dead now, Wang Yulin will have no control over what Chen Ling does.
But Wang Yulin is still alive and well. As long as Wang Yulin is still alive, Chen Ling cannot be plotted against.
After being silent for a while, Wang Yulin expressed his concerns. He was not a person who kept things to himself.
It was not the case when her cultivation strength was still there. At that time, Wang Yulin did not have the ability to protect Chen Ling due to her identity, and watched helplessly as Chen Ling was oppressed by her mother.
What's more, now that Wang Yulin's cultivation strength is gone, Wang Yulin even less has the strength to protect Chen Ling.
And if Chen Ling insisted on helping them, Wang Yulin would be helpless.
As a descendant of Emperor Xuan Tian, Chen Ling has the spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat in her bones. No one can stop her from what she wants to do.
But at this time, Wang Yulin still had to stop her if he could.
After expressing his concerns, Wang Yulin took Chen Ling's hand and said, "Sister Ling, I don't think I can stay in this place anymore. There are no good people here. How about we leave?"
Aren’t the remains of your father’s friends from many years ago also here? Your father chose that place with his own hands. When I die..."
"Brother Yulin, please stop talking."
Before Wang Yulin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Ling.
The reason why she insisted on coming to the Valley of the Dead was not because it could lead to salvation or anything like that.
Chen Xuan didn't believe this, and his descendants naturally didn't believe it either.
It's just that there are some special things that Chen Ling still wants to believe.
The sacred tree Bodhi here has a history of tens of thousands of years and is said to have grown together with the Styx River.
Legend has it that if lovers die together under the sacred tree Bodhi, they will still be together in the next life.
Chen Ling cannot predict what will happen in her next life, but she wants to work hard.
She owed Wang Yulin so much in this life, so she wanted to be with Wang Yulin in the next life.
Chen Ling didn't believe in the River Styx or anything like that, and the place where Chen Xuan placed the remains of Lord Shenmu was not a very good place.
Chen Xuan told Chen Ling that he chose that place just because of its high location and good scenery.
It has nothing to do with anything else.
Only those who have no ability will place their destiny on faith that has no substance at all.
