Tang Yan smiled and did not deny it. It was obvious that the man in front of him was a very shrewd person. Denial would become a cover-up. It would be better to admit it generously and say again: "Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid." Tang Juan stared at Tang Yan coldly for a while, formally confirming that this person was not a threat.
Is this person planning to transform into a spiritual pool? Ridiculous!
Even if this person self-destructs in the Spiritual Transformation Pond, it will not destroy the foundation of the Spiritual Transformation Pond. Moreover, the scene when the Spiritual Transformation Pond melts will never give him a chance to resist and self-destruct.
Is this person trying to take advantage of the Spiritual Transformation Pond? It’s even more ridiculous!
This is a line of sky, where the Demon Spirit Clan lives. So what if we get benefits? Can we still fight our way out?
"Then we'll see you in ten days." Tang Yan closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
"Since you are obsessed with the Soul Transformation Pool, aren't you afraid that I won't let you evolve into the Soul Transformation Pool? There are more than one ways to execute the Martial Saint. If you can't enter the Soul Transformation Pool, any purpose will be in vain."
"I have understood that the most cruel and thorough punishment for you Demon Spirit Clan is the Transforming Spirit Pool. I killed your military elders and desecrated the Demon Spirit Clan. Only by throwing me into the Transforming Spirit Pool can you better calm down the Demon Spirits.
To calm down the anger within the clan and calm the people's emotions.
The demon spirit clan seems to be very strong, but now it is actually very fragile. Your senior officials have been doing their best to cover up the sins of the past and try their best to express their strength.
This time, your dignity has been challenged and you must respond severely. If you choose another way to execute me because of some worries, it will appear that you are very incompetent.
Executing me in Hualingchi is the death penalty that the people want to see, and it is an inevitable result. As for how to prevent me from causing chaos, that is what you, the senior officials, need to do. If you change to other methods just because of worries, the people must
You will be very disappointed, and the clan elders will not accept it."
"You have a thorough understanding of people's hearts, and you know a lot about Hualingchi."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Do you dare to eat it?" Tang Juan took out a jade bottle, turned it three times in his hand, and threw it to Tang Yan.
"A dying person has nothing to fear. It's just poison. How could I not dare?" Tang Yan took the jade bottle, opened it without hesitation, and drank the liquid inside.
A wave of scalding heat penetrated the body, like drinking a mouthful of strong acid or pouring a mouthful of magma. The terrifying heat was accompanied by the cruel power of dissolution, from the mouth to the abdominal cavity, then rushed to the whole body, and then detonated in the body.
of pain.
Tang Juan had no expression on his face, looking coldly at Tang Yan curling up and trembling in pain. "This is a highly poisonous poison. It won't kill you, it will only bring you pain and torture. It will make every meridian in your body...
It is burning, melting your spiritual power, and also slowing down the operation of your meridians.
It cooperates with the forbidden spirit circle to suppress your meridians inside and out. After a few days, you will not be able to exert 30% of your strength. I would like to see how you make trouble."
Tang Yan curled up on the ground, trembling slightly, his whole body and abdomen seemed to be burning. The pain made his whole body convulse, his face was pale, and a large amount of sweat seeped out of his forehead and streaked his cheeks. But compared to the physical pain, his
His eyes are always calm and firm.
"The execution was originally scheduled to take place in ten days. I will formally inform you that the execution time will be moved forward five days. I will wait for you at the Hualing Pond and wait for your performance." Don Juan said coldly and turned to leave.
Tang Yan lay weakly on the ground, in unbearable pain, as if he had been thrown into an oil pan. He was pressed down again and again, and he took several mouthfuls of hot oil again and again, making his body immersed in pain and suffering.
.
Not long after, a large number of crystal rock centipedes quickly emerged from the stubble, staring at him eagerly, eager to bite some pieces of flesh and blood for a taste.
Tang Yan endured the pain, but did not rush to use the green fire to completely remove the poison.
Only Huo Ling'er couldn't bear to let him get hurt, and carefully used the power of heavenly fire to relieve his pain, and firmly guarded the meridians to avoid damaging them, which would not be worth it.
"Dean? Why are you here?"
At this time, Tang Juan's voice came from the distance. Tang Yiyuan, the dean of the clan affairs council, was here...
The moment he stepped into the thorn cliff, the entire stone forest fell silent. The iron whips stopped beating, the screams stopped, and the crystal centipedes crawled back to the ground one after another.
Tang Yiyuan was leaning on crutches and hobbling. He refused the support of his guards and walked alone into the depths of the thorny and bumpy stone forest, and walked outside Tang Yan's cage.
"Spirit-melting phosphorus liquid, this poison is too strong and will hurt your meridians." Tang Yiyuan saw the crooked jade bottle next to Tang Yan, and naturally understood that it was because of Tang Juan.
The old man supported his crutches and slowly sat down among the stone branches next to him. The stone branches there were twisted into the outline of a seat, making it easier for the old man to sit down.
Tang Yan weakly raised his eyes, and the painful sweat streaked across the corners of his eyes and penetrated into his eyes, causing a slight sting. He did not get up, and the physical pain did not allow him to get up.
"I am Tang Yiyuan, the dean of the Demon Spirit Clan's Clan Council. I learned about the incident outside the Nantian Gate and heard about the dispute between you and Elder Tang Xiao. Can I take the liberty to ask why you treat the Demon Spirit Tribe
Are you interested in the incident that happened fifty years ago? Are you willing to risk your own life for this?"
Tang Yiyuan wanted to see clearly the face of this mysterious man in the cage, but the right side was covered with a mask, and the black hair wet with sweat was messy and stuck to his face. It was really embarrassing and exaggerated, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Understand the truth of history, whether it is ugliness or sacrifice. By the way, let's see if the Demon Spirit Tribe fifty years from now still remembers the former emperor and the shame of that year."
Tang Yan responded weakly, his voice hoarse with a bit of painful trembling.
"There are many ways to understand. You can find another way without risking your life. In this world, the two most important things are life and dignity.
If you lie here, you are giving up your life, you will be ravaged, and your dignity will be trampled on. Unless there is a premise that transcends both, it is... not worth it. I don't think a saint can see through this."
"Whether it's faster and more thorough is worth it, everyone has different judgment standards. At least, I caused a sensation and attracted you senior executives to face me face to face."
Tang Yiyuan couldn't help but smile and nodded: "That's right, you have achieved this goal."
"You are the dean of the Clan Affairs Council, and you should be one of the core members of the Demon Spirit Clan. Since I have the honor to meet you, I would like to ask you, what do you think of the events of that year? Don't worry, I didn't question you.
I mean, I just want to seek an answer. The answer I have been searching for all these years."
It has been almost fifty years, I have been waiting for fifty years, just waiting for this moment to come, waiting for someone to give me a reasonable answer.
Tang Yiyuan looked at him for a while, because he noticed the very soft word 'you' in his words. This honorific was spoken from the mouth of a dying prisoner, and Tang Yiyuan had to think about it for a moment, so as not to
He refused: "How about you give me a reason and I will give you an answer?"
"What reason."
"It's still the same question as before, why are you interested in the tragedy of the Demon Spirit Clan back then. If you don't mind, I would like to ask, who...are you?"
Tang Yiyuan did not force Tang Bing and Tang Anhua to reveal this person's true identity, but their unified and special way of expression made him decide to meet this 'special man' in person.
"Look at the Demon Spirit Clan, look at you."
"It's that simple?"
"Is it simple? Haha, I risked my life and gave up my dignity. For you, it's simple. For me, it's all I have."
'Look at the Demon Spirit Clan, look at us.' Tang Yiyuan savored these words carefully, feeling more and more that this person had a unique identity and was so persistent in pursuing the answer back then.
Could it be...
Is he a descendant of a certain general who died back then?
Or maybe it's someone Liu Nu has helped?
Tang Yiyuan said after a long while: "What do you want to know?"
Tang Yan gasped weakly, his eyes were heavy and hazy, and his voice was soft but heavy: "Your evaluation of the events of that year, your opinion of the Demon Spirit Emperor, and your evaluation of Prince Cang.
As the dean of the Clan Affairs Council, there is no need to worry. I am about to evolve into the spirit pool, and there is no need for you to hold back on a dying person. Can we have a frank talk?"
"The evaluation of a person and an event requires a specific environment and a specific period. Fifty years have passed since the incident. It is actually meaningless to evaluate it now."
"I insist."
Tang Yiyuan closed his eyes and slowly shook his head: "That's all, it doesn't hurt to say it. I can only give you one sentence. There are three people that I, Tang Yiyuan, respect in my life. There are only three people. One of them is the Demon Spirit Emperor of my clan.
, secondly, the emperor of our clan, and thirdly, Prince Cang. Being able to assist them one after another is my honor, Tang Yiyuan, and the pride of my life."
Tang Yan looked at him steadily for a while, then closed his eyes in disappointment.
Tang Yiyuan said gently: "My child, I should be right to call you that. I'm not trying to deal with you, I'm telling the truth. If you really want to compare the Demon Spirit Emperor and Prince Cang, let's limit it to ten points.
, I will give ten points to Demon Spirit Emperor, and nine points to Prince Cang. The difference between before and after is one point."
"The Demon Spirit Emperor has contributed tens of thousands of years to the Demon Spirit Clan and has received a perfect score. I can accept it. How can Prince Cang be so virtuous as to give him a single point?"
"You won't understand. For some things, seeing is not necessarily believing. This world is too cruel, so cruel that it violates ethics, and so cruel that you have to do something you have to do." Tang Yiyuan stood up slowly: "Someone told me that after waiting for five days,
Everything will be revealed when you are executed in the Transforming Spirit Pond, I will wait for you for five days."
