Monarch Night

Han Baiji’s face was blank: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?"

Suddenly, the hero turned into a demon.

The glory of countless years became the enemy’s conspiracy and calculation! This was hard for everyone in the Guardian Hall on Baixiang Continent to accept!

"...The Guardians set up a Heaven and Earth Net to encircle the Blood Evil Demon Lord. Lord Jian and Lord Dongfang Zhongming fought bravely, severely injuring the Blood Demon. The top three experts of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect under the Blood Demon charged into Baixiang Continent, preparing for a massacre. At the right moment, Lin Pingjiang stood out, fighting three by himself. Despite suffering dozens of wounds, he did not retreat."

"...The Blood Demon fled and killed Lin Pingjiang, only to be chopped into dust by Lord Jian in his wrath... Lin Pingjiang still had a breath left, but died that night after being brought home."

"Lin Pingjiang was not well-known at the time, but he stood out at a critical moment, fighting with his life to protect the billions of people on Baixiang Continent..."

Han Baiji murmured softly.

It was precisely from the widely spread "Lin Pingjiang’s Story" on Baixiang Continent.

Previously, when I saw or heard this article, my heart was filled with admiration and reverence for the hero. It even made my blood boil and heart surge.

But now, within the Lin Family, after confirming that the Lin Family were members of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and seeing Lin Pingjiang’s corpse in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, rereading this article from the past, I suddenly felt there were too many inconsistencies.

Even my face felt burning hot.

Normally, he was not famous, not showing any mountains or dews, but he stood out at a crucial moment, and even managed to stop three top experts.

Encountering the peak of the world, the Blood Evil Demon Lord, one strike didn’t turn him into ashes on the spot, but he died only after returning home.

These things had countless explanations before, and it caused a lot of disputes: who would dare to insult a hero?

However, all these past things, when faced with Lin Pingjiang’s corpse, and the demonic identity of the Lin Family, everything was overturned!

Not even needing to think.

All of this, combined, instantly became completely clear!

No one spoke.

An awkward atmosphere continued to spread.

Fang Che coughed and said, "Whatever the case was back then, our respect for heroes remains unchanged. We respect heroes, and we are not wrong."

"Everyone gets deceived sometimes! It can only be said that the Demon Sect people are full of tricks!"

"So, Lin Pingjiang must have had a purpose back then!"

"And his body, not decaying for a thousand years, must have a reason too."

"We don’t know what the reason is, but we can’t keep it anymore! Whatever the reason might be..."

Fang Che turned around and ordered: "Pile wood! Set it on fire!"

"Burn it!"

A moment later.

The fire roared into the sky, and Lin Pingjiang’s body made a sizzling sound. An unpleasant smell spread.

Qi Lie and others from Baixiang Continent looked aged.

Things had developed to this point, and he felt he couldn’t report to his superiors.

How to report?

Truly unspeakable, the Guardian’s long-propagated hero turned out to be a demon from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect. And the reason he became a hero was actually a conspiracy.

He stepped forward to sacrifice himself on his own.

Even though no one knows why Lin Pingjiang stepped forward to seek death back then, there must be a reason.

Qi Lie shook his head repeatedly: "Absurd... absurd! It’s simply... shameful!"

As the flames burned fiercely, Lin Pingjiang’s body gradually turned to ashes.

In a place where no one could sense, an unspeakable aura burst from Lin Pingjiang’s body, carrying boundless evil and violence, rising into the sky with the flames’ heat.

But... it was immediately devoured completely by the Golden Horned Flood Dragon, already arranged here by Fang Che.

Fang Che certainly did not know what secrets this body held. But he didn’t care about any secrets it might have.

Burning it to ash would be the end of it.

I don’t care what secret it is.

Moreover, with the soul aura sensed from Lin Ao, Fang Che had of course arranged the Golden Horned Flood Dragon high in the sky ready.

Any aura was devoured!

According to the Golden Horned Flood Dragon’s report, about two-thirds of the energy was devoured from Lin Ao, and about less than a third from Lin Pingjiang.

"Very nourishing!"

"Very pure!"

The Golden Horned Flood Dragon was very satisfied.

This kind of pure and quality soul energy was simply a treasure for the Golden Horned Flood Dragon, almost needing no digestion, just erasing the vague unformed thoughts inside.

This wave of devouring, based on the Golden Horned Flood Dragon’s sensing, was almost comparable to the gain from the Dream Demon before.

This made Fang Che’s heart fiercely shocked.

Who did I really extinguish?

"Is there any data on the soul power?" Fang Che asked the Golden Horned Flood Dragon.

"A mess, impossible to arrange, no identity indicating anything." The Golden Horned Flood Dragon responded.

"...It should be the Blood Evil Demon Lord."

Fang Che remembered the content of "Lin Pingjiang’s Story"; back then, it was surrounding the Blood Evil Demon Lord, leading to this event.

The Blood Evil Demon Lord slapped Lin Pingjiang on the head; there must have been some maneuver.

And its soul always attached to Lin Pingjiang’s body? Waiting for an opportunity?

Not until recently, after Lin Ao was born, did it have the matching constitution? Or for some reason? Slowly transferring onto Lin Ao?

And until now, it has only transferred over halfway?

So much energy still remained on Lin Pingjiang’s body?

So this is the real reason why Lin Pingjiang’s body never decayed?

Fang Che felt that his speculation should be reasonable and close to the truth.

After all, after getting a result, it’s much easier to deduce backward based on the result. Especially that piece of Divine Formless Jade, it gave Fang Che ample reason to speculate.
