They reviewed all the truths in a rapid, sequential manner.
"That's... perverted."
Jiang Nuo sighed and shook his head, finding it utterly perverted, even by his own standards!
[Side Quest: The Villain's Secret, Progress 70%, Points +2000]
The sound of 0732 startled Jiang Nuo.
I almost forgot about this side quest.
Jiang Nuo tightened her grip on Si Yan's hand, raising an eyebrow in thought.
Even at this point, there's still 30% of the secret left.
Si Yan pressed his chest. After seeing these scenes, he felt a little suffocated. He couldn't tell whether it was the influence of the reincarnated soul or the yin energy entering his body from staying in the illusory realm for too long.
Even after learning everything, Si Yan was unable to regain his memories as the Ghost Prince wished. He repeatedly saw the so-called memory stones in constantly changing scenes, but remained unmoved.
Until they broke free of the illusion and returned to the black dragon palanquin.
The Ghost Prince's face was ashen. He had been observing the situation closely, but he couldn't understand why his elder brother was unwilling to regain his memories.
Isn't the impact on the soul profound enough?
But seeing Si Yan's face, he couldn't help but pour out his heart.
"Brother... I think of you every day after you died."
Si Yan took a half step back, remaining calm and composed.
"I am not the emperor. Even if, as you say, we are the same soul, in the next life I will be me, and he will be him."
The Ghost Prince's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his madness intensifying. "I don't care! I don't care! I've waited for you for hundreds of years... I won't let you leave!"
"Once you fuse with the Memory Soul Stone, you will be him!"
Jiang Nuo slowly raised an eyebrow and waved at the Ghost Prince, "Trying to snatch someone right in front of me, how impressive!"
He held Si Yan in his arms, and their intimate display was particularly painful to the Ghost Prince.
"Get out of here!"
Suddenly enraged, the Ghost Prince unleashed a surge of strange and powerful energy with a flick of his sleeve, transforming into a black dragon of smoke that hurtled towards Jiang Nuo.
"Break!"
Jiang Nuo effortlessly broke through the ghostly aura, his pupils gradually turning red, his lazy demeanor subsided, his back straightened, and the oppressive aura of a fierce demon emanated from his very bones.
"Centuries have passed, and your people are no longer here. Even if you resurrected all the wandering ghosts here, it would only amount to a village at best."
The fiercer he looked, the more infuriating his words became. He insisted on kissing and hugging Si Yan in front of the Ghost Prince, his fierceness and smile growing simultaneously.
Si Yan didn't even spare a glance for the Ghost Prince. Even though his background was tragic and pitiful, he poured his hatred into the only person who was kind to him. After killing him, he still missed him and wasted the lives of countless people to be buried with him.
How tragic and lamentable!
Under such stimulation, the Ghost Prince quickly went mad, his handsome face gradually contorted, a dark dragon coiled around him, and he used every vicious and insidious trick on Jiang Nuo.
But ultimately, they couldn't withstand the combined efforts of Jiang Nuo and Si Yan.
Amid the riot, the coffin sealed outside the illusory gate began to tremble, and countless ghosts crawled out, rushing in, like a living hell.
The Ghost Prince's eyes were bloodshot. "Since that's the case, none of you will leave here alive! I will not lose! Never!"
During the fight, the black dragon sedan chair shattered. Jiang Nuo was distracted by the fierce ghost that crawled in, and the rampant Demonic Qi emanating from his body already exerted a suppressive force on the ghost.
The tricky problem is that the Ghost Prince, who died as an emperor, is protected by the aura of a true dragon. No matter how Jiang Nuo tries to kill him, he will still have residual energy, and may even turn against Jiang Nuo's attacks.
"Hiss..."
Jiang Nuo felt the burn on her palm and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. The arm that had been in contact with the Ghost Prince was also burned.
His brow furrowed with growing melancholy, and as he once again flicked his finger to summon Demonic Qi, Si Yan pressed down on his wrist.
" Nuonuo, I'm coming."
Si Yan stroked his palm, her eyes filled with heartache.
"All right."
Jiang Nuo glanced at the Ghost Prince, who had completely gone mad, and then stopped.
On several occasions before, the dragon Dragon Vein of Huaxia had shown Si Yan great affection, and the aura of a true dragon that had been dormant for hundreds of years was not an issue, let alone the soul that originally belonged to Si Yan's previous life.
The Ghost Prince naturally knew the secret. Just now, when Jiang Nuo's treachery and ruthlessness were concealed by hypocrisy, he was too weak to stand up and fell to the ground begging for mercy.
He attempted to pass through Si Yan's body to plead with his elder brother, who had disappeared hundreds of years ago.
"No... Brother! You promised you would never hurt me!!"
But the former emperor, upon learning the truth, showed no mercy, and neither did Si Yan.
He seemed not to hear the Ghost Prince's tearful pleas, suppressing him with his immense Spiritual Power, but he wasn't in a hurry to shatter and disappear.
Si Yan bound the Ghost Prince with the chains of the underworld messengers, something he had never used before when he encountered so many vengeful ghosts.
"What's this?"
Jiang Nuo asked in confusion, her fingers, which had almost recovered, touching the chains. The Ghost Prince was already unconscious.
"These are chains from the Underworld, a gift from the netherworld, that can quickly summon the underworld officials and avoid wasting time."
Si Yan pulled Jiang Nuo's hand over and gently stroked it. Seeing that the red mark had not disappeared, she tenderly held it and blew on it.
It'll be ready in a bit.
Jiang Nuo grabbed Si Yan's hand in return. Apart from those that Jiang Nuo had controlled, all the evil spirits outside had been killed by Shi Cheng.
Even Da Zhu and Old Sun, under threat of death, took action. Seeing that some of the ghosts had corpses, one of them picked up a rock and smashed it vigorously.
As the thick fog rose, everything went dark, but everyone could clearly see a huge black shadow emerge, and a chilling pressure descended.
Song Zheng: "... And this is it again?"
There won't be another wave, will there?
Si Yan said in a low voice, "You're in the same line of work, doing things underground."
Song Zheng: "..."
That's so funny!
The underworld officials not only took away the deeply sinful Ghost Prince, but also the fierce guardian spirits he had carefully raised. The other ghosts that didn't need to be taken were imprinted with the seal of the Underworld and handed over to Si Yan for disposal.
Si Yan understood their meaning and responded with a speechless, pursed-lip smile.
As the black mist dissipated, the illusory ghost city constructed by the Ghost Prince vanished in an instant, leaving behind only array formations and ghost coffins scattered across the ground.
"Where are you going! Come back!"
Shi Cheng captured the soul of Simazi, who was trying to sneak away.
Looking at Simazi, whose face was ashen from failing to help the Ghost Prince resurrect, Jiang Nuo asked him, "Is your family a family of sorcerers cursed by the Ghost Prince?"
Simazi could only admit, gasping for breath in pain as he was suppressed, "That day when you came to the coffin shop... I saw Si Yan's appearance... and knew the time had come."
Song Zheng slammed his fist down, "So you knew we went to the basement that night?!"
"... I don't know... but my brother is alright. He controlled his body and saw what happened in the basement."
Simazi spat angrily and glared at Jiang Nuo, "If it weren't for you! The Prince's plan would definitely have succeeded!!"
Si Yan kicked him, "Shut up!"
Jiang Nuo wasn't annoyed. She smiled and leaned down, saying, "Your brother and the others should be coming down soon. If they see the plan completely collapse, they'll probably be unwilling to accept it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Zheng and Zhang Lin, who were guarding the door, turned around and reported in unison, "They're down!"
Simazi's body trembled, and he tried to scream at the top of his lungs to tell his brother to leave quickly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Nuo used a spell to acupoints, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.
"It's almost over."
Jiang Nuo stretched and leaned on Si Yan's shoulder, leisurely looking towards the door.
