Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Cut Off The Thread Of Past
Chu Yunsheng recognized her. She, who was originally a little girl, had finally grown up now. And she looked exactly like her mother. Although it was not appropriate to call her that way, in the eyes of Chu Yunsheng, she was always the hungry little kid.
At that moment, he seemed to have seen a little girl, who was wearing a down jacket that she had picked up from a pile of dead bodies, again. It was silver-gray colored. Chu Yunsheng remembered very clearly. The down jacket was very long. It was all the way to her knees. There were many holes in it, and the soft feathers were struggling to stay inside. The zipper was broken. So she tied it with a small string.
“Uncle, is the porridge tasty?”
“En, try it.”
“Uncle, you eat first, just leave a tiny bit for me. I just need to taste it.”
“Uncle is not hungry, you can have it.”
“I’ll just take a small sip, okay?”
“Uncle, it looks like a tiger. I have seen tigers at the zoo, but they were bigger…”
…
Chu Yunsheng gradually heard Lao Chui’s cry, “G.o.d is not giving us a chance! He doesn’t want us to live!!!”
The mournful cry reverberated over the cold sky for a long time, making people feel suffocated.
…
After a long time, everything grudanly fell silent.
In the ruins of the sea of fire, Chu Yunsheng gently held the girl’s body. He used all the methods he knew, including using the more complicated healing Talismans, however, he still could not save the girl’s life.
“Why does it have to be you?” The softest spot in his heart was once again heavily wounded.
He personally saved the life of Meng Meng. However, twenty years later, he killed her with his own hands.
“Ding Yan, why are you doing this? Even if you want to kill me, send someone else to do it, why did you send her? ”
“Do you want to hurt me?”
“Yes, you are the smartest person I have ever seen. You know that this will hurt me. You know how to kill me from inside!”
“The culprit of everything is you, Yun Sect, and this world!”
…
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng hated this world to the extreme. Hatred, pain, killing, and betrayal, this was all it left for him in this world. There was nothing else worth him to remember here! Hatred, disgust, loathing, apart from those, he couldn’t feel anything else.
He also faintly knew why all those forces had attempted to kill him eleven times…
…
Chu Yunsheng was holding Meng Meng’s body, walking towards the girl, who had just broken out of the ice with her bird mount emotionlessly. He paused for a second, when he walked past her. But he did not turn around to look at her. He only looked coldly at the ruins in the distance and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Go back, and tell them, I will not get in their ways… Since they have already shown me what they are thinking. Tell them that I got the message. From now on, we are total strangers! In the last even eleven chases, they have shown me what they are capable of. Although I did not ask for it, I accept it now. In the future, we don’t owe each other anything. If I kill them, I am not a heartless person, and if they kill me, they are not ungrateful people. Everyone is on their own now.”
After that, he carried on walking without waiting for the responses from the girl.
The girl stroked the feathered back of the giant bird, and the giant bird let out a screech to shake off the ice pieces from its body. Then it spread out its wings and flew into the sky while bringing Chu Yunsheng’s words with it.
Outside the fighting zone, Yuan Xuejian and other people were already there. Everyone was looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.
“Mr. Chu, the reason why they continuously attacked you eleven times was not only for-” Luo Qing hesitated for a second and said. Because Chu Yunsheng did not like other people calling him The origin, so everyone just called him Mr. Chu.
“I know.” Chu Yunsheng shook his head and interrupted her. He glanced at his broken hair and said with a tired expression, “whether it was testing my strength, buying time, proving someone something, or just to take my hair, I don’t care, I only care about what is important to me. If those things no longer exist…”
Luo Qing was not Chu Yunsheng, she did not know what happened twenty years ago clearly. But with her wisdom, and from Chu Yunsheng’s reaction, she had already understood what Chu Yunsheng was referring to. Perhaps the legend of the most powerful man in the world had a profound impact on her. Seeing what happened to Chu Yunsheng, she couldn’t help but say, “All major forces have basically appeared in the last ten a.s.sa.s.sinations. Today, the people from Yun Sect and Sky city also arrived. But at least, Zhiwu forest… maybe-”
“You don’t have to convince me anything, I know.” Chu Yunsheng said slightly. His eyes were intertwined with two types of contradicted emotions: hollow and sharp. After he slowly put down the body of Meng Meng, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and said calmly, “All of you may leave now. The things I wanted to know, I know it now. Those papers contain some of the information that is also on the will of Cambrian. You have been used by me in the last few days, and the people in your group were more or less injured because of it. Take it. It is your remuneration. From now on, we don’t owe each.”
Luo Qing still wanted to say something, However, Chu Yunsheng had turned around. Stabbing his sword into the ground, he began to dig a pit. Sword Qi was still covering the sword blade, revealing a cold gleam. Each time he stabbed the sword into the ground, it was like cutting off a thread of the past. When a pit appeared, the pit of his past was also ready.
He gently put Meng Meng’s body into the pit, sorting out her blood-stained clothes, wiping off the blood from the corners of her lips, and taking a piece of food from the storage talisman and placing it in her hand. After doing everything, he stared at her for a long time, as if what he needed to bury was not only just Meng Meng, but also himself…
“Fill!” Chu Yunsheng’s eyes flashed a glimmer of determination. As he raised his hands all the soils around the pit began to fall into the pit and covered the pit completely.
Then he made a stone slab, stabbed it onto the tomb, and used his word to write something on it.
While the precious papers were still burning before the tombstone, he walked into darkness with Yuan Xuejian and left the place.
After Chu Yunsheng left, Yan Ge couldn’t help but step forward, as he glanced through the tombstone, he muttered, “You are a lone wanderer…”
******
Outside the ruined town slowly walked out two people.
“Mr. Chu, are you going to Zhiwu forest?” In the darkness, a middle-aged man in an old leather coat with a pistol in his arms turned around and lit something in his hand and said slowly.
Chu Yunsheng stopped and looked at him quietly. He did not say anything. The sixth neve-like line had already discovered this person. He also knew this person. He was with Yan Ge before. He once interrupted Yan Ge, and caused Yan Ge to worry about something.
“I am afraid that even if Mr. Chu gets there, they still will not take Xiao Yuan. Let her go with me, I can guarantee her safety.” The middle-aged man looked at Chu Yunsheng in the eyes and said calmly.
Chu Yunsheng still did not speak. He only looked at him quietly, like a piece of icy stone.
The middle-aged man sighed and said, “You are still alive. Some people don’t want to see it. Only the ‘dead origin’ is useful. Now that you have come back, it has disrupted the plans of all forces. In the time of your disappearance, too many things have happened, and you can’t blame them.”
“Who are you!” Chu Yunsheng finally spoke. But he did not take out his weapon. If he wanted to kill, he could easily kill the man in front of him.
The middle-aged man smiled and walked two steps forward. He said, “You don’t know me, but we both know one person.”
“Who?” Chu Yunsheng looked at him coldly. He didn’t like people beating around the bush. If the man in front of him carried on talking like this, he would leave immediately.
“Qin Qiying!” As if the man knew what Chu Yunsheng was thinking, he immediately said.
Chu Yunsheng’s brows were slightly knitted. He remembered that Qin Qiying was holding a military secret that she would rather die than tell him, at that time. And no one seemed to know it even until now. So he guessed, “You used to be a soldier?”
“She was my superior.” The man nodded, and his eyes suddenly became dispirited all of sudden, “she… still is my superior… but everything has changed… This time, I came to Poyang Lake for another mission, but I didn’t expect that I would be able to see you.”
“What do you need from me? Don’t mention her again, I won’t give her to you.” Chu Yunsheng said calmly.
A faint of disappointment flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. “If that’s the case, then I won’t attempt to change your mind. But I want to remind you that your existence has affected too many things. So please don’t trust anyone, including me and also her. You can only trust yourself!”
Chu Yunsheng’s pupils suddenly constricted, “Which force do you belong to? Where is Qin Qiying?”
The middle-aged man smiled coldly and shook his head, “We don’t belong to any force you know! We are the last resistance force! Before I am sure that you are with us, I can’t tell you where she is, but I can tell you one thing, the real cultivation propagator – that black man, is still alive!”
Chu Yunsheng suddenly sneered, “You just said that I can’t believe you.”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, “If that is your choice. In the future, if we know clearly who you are, and which force you decided to join in, and if we are still fighting for the same goal, we will come to look for you again.”
Chu Yunsheng looked at him lightly and said, “In that case, I don’t like to talk to people who like to beat around the bush, see you!”
After that, he just dashed away with Yuan Xuejian.
******
One day later, less than ten kilometers away from Zhiwu forest, Chu Yunsheng suddenly stopped and gazed into a distance.
He didn’t know why he still wanted to come here. Maybe he wanted to prove something, or maybe he really wanted to see those old friends again. And maybe, taking Yuan Xuejian here was just an excuse.
But when he saw a group of people with masks and spears gradually appearing in the field of vision, he knew that his answer was here.
“I want to see your ruler!” Chu Yunsheng stared at the leader of the mask men and said sternly.
The group of masked men that were standing in front of Chu Yunsheng was wearing a strange type of mask. Unlike the old ones, the ones they were wearing now were completely opaque. Although Chu Yunsheng couldn’t see any expression under the mask, he faintly felt that the leader was hesitant. After a long time, the leader said in a stiff manner, “Leave! The queen said that she would not see you.”
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. The voice of the leader sounded very familiar to him. ‘Old Sun, is that you? Even you also did not dare to see me?’
Although Chu Yunsheng wanted to say it. But eventually, he stopped himself. When Old Sun mentioned “the queen” instead of the ruler, he immediately understood the message.
So he just let out a bitter laugh and turned around.
In the distance, in the luxuriant Zhiwu forest, a woman who had already burst into tears took off the majestic mask and cried hysterically, “I’m sorry, Brother Chu, I’m sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry! …”
