What Would Happen to Zhan Kong After He Died?
Tang Miao didn't know whether taking Qin Yu'er to find Zhan Kong was the right or wrong decision. But he knew that if he left this foolish woman at the Tianshan Scar, she would continue to be lonely and miserable, and after they met, there would only be one outcome.
Rather than that, it would be better to tell her where Zhan Kong, so that these two star-crossed lovers can spend some time together. As for how long they can be together, that's up to fate.
However, he truly did not know the location of Sha Yuan, Tang Miao took Qin Yu'er and flew towards the Ancient Capital.
Upon arriving in the Ancient Capital, he found Han Ji and asked for the location of Sha Yuan. Han Ji was genuinely puzzled by Tang Miao's appearance in the Ancient Capital. After all, shouldn't this kid be training at the National Academy right now?
After giving a brief explanation, Tang Miao left, taking Qin Yu'er with him towards the location of the Sha Yuan.
Three days passed in this back-and-forth exchange.
Upon arriving at the Sha Yuan, Qin Yu'er was taken aback when she saw the resentful aura below.
With a touch of heartache, Qin Yu'er asked, "Is he... right down here?"
Tang Miao nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a familiar face suddenly appeared before him... no, it could be said that the familiar Corpse of the Mountain Peak suddenly materialized!!!
"Awooo!!!"
The moment the Corpse of the Mountain Peak saw Tang Miao, it immediately recognized him. It then let out a furious roar of dissatisfaction!
Although he didn't know why this kid's strength had weakened, he was very clear that back in the Ancient Capital, this was the guy who had almost smashed him to pieces...
Although he couldn't transform into Demon Element right now, Tang Miao confidently said, "What the hell are you yelling about? Call your boss out here, his woman is here."
There's no other reason than that Zhan Kong isn't completely dead yet, and the Ancient King is only having some of his souls awaken.
The one who possessed that immense power was Zhan Kong, but Zhan Kong's soul was one that had been sacrificed, and no one knew when it would be devoured by the Ancient King.
Tang Miao had always admired the monarch who made Huaxia the largest country in the world. However, he also harbored some reservations...
Because he didn't know what this thing would do if it didn't continue to slumber and devour Zhan Kong.
His very appearance was designed to absorb the lives of millions in the Ancient Capital; perhaps he sought resurrection? Although Tang Miao felt his death was utterly worthless—after all, the progenitor of the undead, dying in a foreign land?
But if he really does become a threat to humanity one day, Tang Miao thinks it's better for him to just disappear.
However, how to cool it down is a big problem...
Tang Miao's main reason for coming here today was to use Qin Yu'er to meet him! He believed that with Qin Yu'er present, the other party wouldn't kill him.
The Corpse of the Mountain Peak was somewhat puzzled, realizing its intimidating power was waning...
Just then, a man dressed in black armor, with long, disheveled hair, appeared on top of the Corpse of the Mountain Peak.
"Zhan Kong... is that you?" Qin Yu'er looked at the man who had appeared and asked, a tear welling up in her eyes.
Upon hearing the woman's cries, the black-armored man's emotions surged violently. However, because he was a spirit, he shed no tears...
After a moment of silence, Zhan Kong looked at the two and said, "This is not a place for you. You should leave. Zhan Kong is dead."
"I can leave," Tang Miao replied, then pointed at Qin Yu'er and said, "But do you think she can go there? Don't you think you're being too selfish? If you don't want to stay with her, why save her? Do you think there's anywhere in the world she can go?"
Tang Miao felt that for someone like Zhan Kong, saving him was actually worse than not saving him at all.
What's the point of saving them?
Although he never believed in "love," Qin Yu'er clearly belonged to a special group. Because of her powerful Ice Element, she was not accepted and was treated as Anomalies. She was lonely and miserable as a child, and after growing up, she met someone she liked, but the ending... tsk tsk! Just thinking about it is heartbreaking enough.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Kong turned to look at Tang Miao. The moment his gaze met Tang Miao's, Tang Miao felt an invisible pressure instantly arise...
It was just a glance, but Tang Miao felt that even in his Demonization, he couldn't withstand the oppressive force of that single look...
This is Ying Zheng, once the greatest sorcerer of Huaxia!?
Even though he wasn't fully awake...
Qin Yu'er seemed to sense the pressure Tang Miao was under, and quickly stood in front of him. At the same time, that force instantly dissipated.
Tang Miao instantly thought to himself, "Fuck you, you son of a bitch!"
This is simply outrageous...
Qin Yu'er then said, "Zhan Kong, he's right. If he hadn't brought me here, I might have been waiting for you in the Tianshan forever. Besides you, what else in this world do I have to cherish..."
"I... Yu'er..." Zhan Kong looked at Qin Yu'er, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Perhaps breaking the ice was indeed a mistake. He ignored her feelings...
Before he could say anything, Qin Yu'er had already thrown herself into his arms. "You don't need to say anything. Whether you live or die, I don't want to leave you again."
However, she was rejected by Zhan Kong.
There's no other reason than that if Qin Yu'er gets close, she will die...
At this moment, Tang Miao said, "I really want to know one thing: are you the Ancient King or Zhan Kong... or rather, do you take turns?"
Zhan Kong turned to look at Tang Miao, and then said, "I am Zhan Kong, but I also possess the memories of the Ancient King."
Tang Miao paused for a moment before continuing, "I think this armor is constantly devouring your soul, isn't it?"
Zhan Kong looked at Tang Miao with some confusion. He couldn't understand how the guy in front of him knew all this.
If they learned about Qin Yu'er's situation from her when they arrived, what about Tang Miao's Qin Yu'er?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Miao continued, "What if one day your soul were completely devoured?"
"The calamity of that Ancient Capital will reappear..."
Tang Miao was stunned, looking at Zhan Kong in front of him, or rather, the Ancient King Ying Zheng deep in his soul, with some confusion.
Then, he roared, "The land you created, the oaths you swore—were they all just bullshit?!"
Tang Miao's roar was met with a long silence...
Tang Miao felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He was genuinely afraid that Zhan Kong control and shatter him with a single palm strike...
After all, even this slight pressure was enough to make him feel like he couldn't breathe.
This feeling of insignificance is so frustrating...
After a moment, he suddenly said, "I need a large amount of death energy to fully awaken and become the King of the Underworld. Only in this way can I truly protect Huaxia! The Ancient Capital is the place I chose, so how could I possibly want to destroy it?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao fell into deep thought, or rather, he didn't actually believe this claim.
But it seems we have no choice but to believe it...
After all, wasn't Ye Xin Xia's father capable of transforming into the Dark King?
"There is also an Undead Emperor inside the Egyptian pyramids. Why don't you choose to destroy him?"
The Ancient King shook his head. "They are ultimately spirits of the dead; they cannot give me what I need."
Tang Miao then said, "Then you can go and wreak havoc on other countries, why choose Huaxia, which you created?"
