Chapter 90 You are the key
Suddenly, a clap of thunder rang out in the sky, startling Su Luo so much that her body trembled.
"what?"
The Crimson Jade Ancestor glanced out the window without changing his expression. "I think you heard what I just said clearly."
Su Luo pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She heard it all clearly, of course.
So, what he meant by that sentence was that the reason these Nascent Soul elders were so persistent in pursuing her was because she could save the world.
She had initially guessed that these people were relentlessly pursuing her because of her past life or the will of Heaven, but it turns out it was because of this? What a joke! She was just a cannon fodder supporting character! Wasn't it the female lead, Ning Wanshuang, who was supposed to save the world?
"I don't understand. I'm just an insignificant monk, why would I be the key to saving the world?"
The next moment, thunder roared again, even louder than before, as if something in the sky was preventing Ancestor Hongyu from speaking.
Su Luo then realized what was happening, turned her gaze outside, and narrowed her eyes unhappily.
Aside from Dog Heavenly Dao, she couldn't think of anything else that would cause thunder in broad daylight. It's like a persistent ghost, popping up every now and then to annoy people! Now is the crucial moment!
Seeing Su Luo's reaction, Ancestor Hongyu smiled knowingly: "It seems you are not entirely ignorant."
Su Luo's eyes flashed.
Even the Crimson Jade Ancestor knew that the Heavenly Dao was preventing her from speaking! So, what exactly was she trying to say that made the Heavenly Dao so anxious?
Ancestor Hongyu spoke: "Since I have asked you to come this time, I will naturally answer your questions and tell you everything I know. However... I hope you can agree to one condition."
"What conditions?"
"If the Lingxiao Sect is ever in trouble in the future, I hope you can save their lives."
"why?"
The Crimson Jade Ancestor's smile remained unchanged. "Because what I am about to say is about restrictions, something that must never be mentioned. Once it is spoken, one will be bound by the rules, and one's life and cultivation will be extinguished. Everyone must die eventually, and cultivators are no exception. I am not afraid of death, but I hope you can agree to this one condition."
Thunder roared again, deafeningly loud, and even the thatched hut seemed to shake slightly.
Su Luo and Ancestor Hongyu exchanged glances, seeing the resolute and composed look in each other's eyes. After a long while, she covered her face and sighed.
She wanted to know the truth, but that didn't mean she wanted others to pay the price with their lives, especially since the person in front of her was the ancestor of Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue.
no solution anymore……
Su Luo paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Wait a moment."
She quickly walked out of the thatched hut and looked up. The once clear sky was now covered with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and occasional rumbles of thunder.
Su Luo took a deep breath, took out a sword and dagger, pointed it at her neck, and stared coldly at the sky.
"Don't bother me anymore! I need to know everything today, no matter what! If you continue to stop me, I'll die right here and ruin all your plans!"
She's going to take a gamble!
The Heavenly Dao's relentless obstruction was truly annoying! She wanted to see whether this damned Heavenly Dao cared more about what Ancestor Hongyu had said, or about her life!
A white light suddenly appeared on the horizon, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and made people's hearts tremble.
Su Luo's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but she increased the force in her hand, and the tip of the sword immediately cut through the delicate skin on her neck, and a trickle of blood flowed out.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Su Luo heard that familiar voice in her mind.
"You'll regret this..."
Su Luo remained unmoved, her gaze resolute.
"I will never regret it! Rather than be deceived and used by you, and live a foolish life, I would rather die with the truth in my arms right now!"
In her previous life, she obediently followed the will of Heaven and approached the female lead as required, only to die such a pathetic death! In this life, she refuses to be kept in the dark no matter what. It should have been done long ago!
Since Dog Heaven has dragged her into the novel world, then don't even think about using her as a pawn!
Heaven sighed, and finally relented, "So be it..."
"Furthermore!" Su Luo added, "You are not allowed to attack Ancestor Hongyu. You must ensure that even if she speaks, nothing will happen to her."
"..."
The heavens remained silent. Soon the dark clouds dispersed, the thunder ceased, and the weather returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Su Luo then put down the dagger and breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that she had won her gamble this time!
Thank goodness! If Dog Heavenly Dao truly didn't care about her life and refused, she really wouldn't have been able to bring herself to do it. She only intended to scare him, but she never expected her life to be so valuable…
Su Luo felt relieved, but when she turned around, she saw that Ancestor Hongyu was already standing at the door, looking at her with shock in his eyes.
Ancestor Hongyu didn't know what to say.
She was prepared to die to tell Su Luo the truth, but she never expected Su Luo to be so audacious as to threaten the Heavenly Dao! In fact, she actually succeeded!
Ancestor Hongyu stared intently at the girl before her, a thought suddenly popping into her mind: perhaps they had all underestimated this girl; she was more powerful than they all thought.
Su Luo turned around and strode into the house. "Now, let's get down to business."
Ancestor Hongyu withdrew her gaze and nodded.
Soon, the two sat down at the table again.
Su Luo took a sip of tea. "You've said your piece. There shouldn't be any problems now."
Ancestor Hongyu remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"In our previous life, the Heavenly Demon rose to power and was invincible, plunging the world into destruction. Yet no one could defeat him, not even the four of us Nascent Soul stage monsters who joined forces. I tried my best to divine a glimmer of hope, but I could not find any way out. This world was inherently hopeless and was destined to be destroyed by the Heavenly Demon... We did not know who the Heavenly Demon was or why he wanted to destroy the world. Just when we were at our wits' end, we suddenly saw a glimmer of hope."
"That hope is you, Su Luo."
Ancestor Hongyu said, "The Heavenly Demon doesn't trust anyone, he can even kill his own people without hesitation. Yet, he turned you into a puppet and kept you by his side, even protecting the puppet from injury. We thought we might find a breakthrough through you. So, before our final extinction, we sacrificed our lives and cultivation, exhausting all our strength to explore the secrets of heaven, trying to reverse time and change this dead end. But we didn't expect an accident to happen along the way. When we returned with our memories, we didn't expect that many things had changed."
"So that's why the people from Tianyi Sect were so eager to find me, and why that Elder Lingya was so persistent. So that's why..."
Because the Heavenly Demon treats her specially, that's why these people pay so much attention to her and harass her... It's the Heavenly Demon again!
Su Luo picked up the conversation, but her eyes grew even colder.
"And what about you? You let Feng Xiyue meet with me to report the situation. Didn't you have any other purpose?"
