Chapter 320: Society is complex and people are evil

Why do I look exactly like Tianguan?
Shen Cheng originally thought that he would be able to get the answer to this question after meeting Du Tianming, but it turned out that even Du Tianming himself didn't know the answer.

He never expected that he was taken away from the Life Court by Du Tianming.

This means that he is most likely the product of some kind of experiment, or that he really has some blood relationship with Tianguan.

However, Shen Cheng remembered what Tian Xuanxing always said - appearance is the most useless thing because it can be changed at will.

Maybe the reason why I look like Tianguan is just because I have changed it on purpose.

After a moment of silence, Shen Cheng said to Du Tianming: "Why are you stealing other people's children everywhere?"

He stole me from the Life Court and stole Xiao Qingque from the Baiye Kingdom. Could this guy have a hobby of being a human trafficker?

"..."

Du Tianming pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, seeming a little embarrassed.

"I have told you everything I know. Whether you believe it or not, as long as you still want to get all the eternal blood and want to break the curse of the blood, the only thing you can do is to cooperate with us."

Shen Cheng didn't completely believe what Du Tianming said, but at this point, he didn't have much choice.

"Since you said that the only way to break the curse is for me to become the Eternal Emperor, what should I do?"

"Open the door inside the special space and find the legacy you left for yourself. This is the only way."

"You said that the way to open the door is in Ji Chan's hands, and Ji Chan's condition is to resolve the current chaotic situation in the Eternal Empire."

Shen Cheng laughed: "Your plan is really linked together, and I can't refuse it at all."

Although he was laughing, his laughter was full of sarcasm.

"You still have a choice."

Du Tianming suggested: "You can abandon everything and leave the Eternal Empire now. No matter which of the three blood kings wins in the end, they will not go to other countries to cause trouble for you. You can spend the rest of your life in peace."

Because his tone was too calm, Shen Cheng couldn't tell whether he was being sincere or just being sarcastic.

To be honest, these people have hearts worse than P eyes. Shen Cheng really wants to just walk away and leave them all dumbfounded.

But he knew very well that escaping would not solve any problem. Whether it was Ji Chan or Du Tianming, they caused so many troubles in essence to deal with the three blood kings, and their purpose was the same as Shen Cheng's.

While Shen Cheng was thinking, Lao Ruan, who had just left, suddenly rushed into the living room again and said to Du Tianming anxiously, "Jin Xing is here again, leave quickly!"

Du Tianming stood up from the sofa and said to Shen Cheng, "I need to leave. The half of Jin Xing's body that remains in reality is reserved for you. You can take the eternal blood in his body. After you think it through, you must act quickly. I can only delay Jin Xing for another year at most."

His tone remained calm, but his speech speed increased a lot.

Shen Cheng suddenly asked: "Can I stay here and meet Jin Xing?"

If you want to verify Du Tianming's words, then you might be able to get the same answer from Jin Xing, the Blood King.

Du Tianming saw through Shen Cheng's plan at a glance, but he did not stop him: "Okay, you will automatically return to reality in about ten minutes. Take this time to have a good chat with him, maybe you will gain something."

After saying that, Du Tianming hurriedly left with Lao Ruan.

Shen Cheng continued to stay in the living room, reviewing the conversation he had with Du Tianming.

Many questions seemed to have been answered, but considering Du Tianming and Ji Chan's calculations against him, Shen Cheng felt that it was enough to believe 50% of his words.

It’s not that Du Tianming is lying completely. Most of his answers should be true. However, by concealing and modifying key information, he can easily distort the facts.

While Shen Cheng was thinking, the door of the living room was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked in from outside.

Jin Xing, he still likes to wear sunglasses.

With his hands in his pockets, wearing casual clothes and sneakers, he looks like a typical rich second-generation, and the only thing missing is a few lackeys following him.

After entering the living room, Jin Xing glanced at Shen Cheng standing beside him, his eyes revealing surprise under his sunglasses: "Why don't you run away?"

Shen Cheng realized that he had recognized the wrong person and had to explain: "I am not Du Tianming, I just look like him."

"You think I'm saying something stupid like that...huh?"

Jin Xing looked at him carefully again and found that Shen Cheng was indeed not Du Tianming, because Shen Cheng was in a soul state and obviously came from a parallel world.

Du Tianming's soul and body are here. Once he returns to reality, Jin Xing will go back with him.

Shen Cheng's appearance aroused Jin Xing's interest: "What is your relationship with Du Tianming?"

"It's hard for me to explain this, so let's make a deal."

Shen Cheng suggested: "Tell me about Du Tianming. In exchange, I can tell you the current situation of Yongle City. You haven't been back for a long time, right? Aren't you curious about the current situation of Yongle City, which you spent so much effort to build?"

Jin Xing took off his sunglasses and looked at Shen Cheng carefully, with interest flashing in his eyes.

If just now he was only interested in Shen Cheng's appearance, now he was interested in him as a person.

"can."

Jin Xing sat down on the sofa, leaned back with his hands, and crossed his legs: "Ask whatever you want to ask. I know Du Tianming very well."

Seeing Jin Xing's leisurely look, Shen Cheng asked in confusion: "Aren't you in a hurry to catch Du Tianming? He just left not long ago."

Jin Xing smiled and said, "I have been trying to catch him for more than ten years, so I am not in a hurry. But you'd better hurry up, because I don't have that much time to waste here."

Shen Cheng nodded, and then briefly repeated the experience that Du Tianming had just told him.

Of course, a lot of key information was hidden, such as Shen Cheng being the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor, their cooperation with Ji Chan, etc.

After listening to this, Jin Xing nodded: "That's about it."

He did not hide the fact that he was badly tricked by Du Tianming. Instead, he praised him: "Although Du Tianming is cunning, he is a rare talent. The three of us blood kings were fooled by him alone."

Shen Cheng was surprised and asked, "You think so highly of him?"

Jin Xing laughed: "Even if Du Tianming is an idiot, I have to praise him as a smart guy. Otherwise, the three of us who were deceived by him are no better than idiots, right?"

Shen Cheng understood that a person's level is determined by his opponent. The stronger your opponent is, the higher your level is.

If you regard an ant as your opponent, then you are no different from the ant and are at the same level.

Du Tianming's ability does not need to be exaggerated. He trapped the three blood kings by himself without any damage. This record is unique even in the world. Shen Cheng asked another question: "Is there any way to break the curse of the source blood?"

"Of course there is. It only takes the three of us old guys to agree together."

Jin Xing smiled at Shen Cheng and said, "But no one in the world can make us agree, so this method is no different from not existing."

Shen Cheng retorted: "Not necessarily. If it is the order of the Eternal Emperor, would you not obey it?"

Jin Xing shrugged and said, "Are you going to dig the Eternal Emperor out of the coffin?"

"That's not necessary."

Shen Cheng asked the last question: "How did you three defeat the Eternal Emperor?"

It is said that the three Blood Kings were originally servants created by the Eternal Emperor and could not disobey his orders at all.

In this situation, no one could imagine what methods the three people used to defeat the Eternal Emperor.

When he heard this question, the smile on Jin Xing's face finally disappeared.

"Kid, some questions are best not to be asked blindly."

It seems that this matter is a very important secret to Jin Xing, and even discussion of it is not allowed.

"The boring questions are over."

Jin Xing was unwilling to answer any more questions and said in an imperative tone: "Tell me about the situation in Yongle City."

Originally, Shen Cheng should have kept his promise, but Jin Xing's tone made him very unhappy, so he decided to give the blood king a small crisis of trust.

"The situation in Yongle City can be described in one sentence: the society is complicated and people's hearts are sinister."

"What do you mean?"

Jin Xing showed a puzzled expression.

Shen Cheng smiled slightly: "What it means is, don't trust anyone easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Cheng disappeared from the spot, and when ten minutes were up, he automatically returned to reality.

Seeing Shen Cheng disappear, Jin Xing stood there in surprise.

Then he shook his head, not getting furious, but showing a helpless smile: "I knew that no one who looks like this can be trusted."

He put on his sunglasses again, put his hands in his pockets, stood up and left the living room, whistling as he continued on his journey to hunt down Du Tianming.

On the other side, Shen Cheng has successfully returned to the real world and returned to the top of the pyramid.

He looked down at Jin Xing who was sleeping soundly on the bed. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such a powerful figure had been trapped in a parallel world by Du Tianming for more than ten years.

What Du Tianming said has been verified by Jin Xing, and there is no discrepancy.

Unless Du Tianming and Jin Xing collude with each other, Du Tianming's experience in the Eternal Empire can basically be confirmed to be true.

The question now is whether Shen Cheng should follow the plan given by Du Tianming and become the true eternal emperor?
Just as Shen Cheng was thinking, two figures suddenly fell from the gap at the top of the underground space.

The two figures were still Jin Yan and Yu Feng, but they had just rushed out like gods of war, but now they fell back like birds with broken wings.

Shen Cheng was interrupted from thinking. He took a look at the two people who were covered in wounds and were actually degenerating from their true forms. He knew that there must have been a fierce battle between the two sides, and it was a ruthless battle that even used their true forms.

Yu Feng fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, gasping for breath. It was difficult for him to even move a finger. All the strength in his body was completely used up, and he was in an extremely weak state.

Jin Yan was able to stand up, and walked to Yu Feng step by step, looking down at him: "I won."

Yu Feng had an extremely unconvinced expression on his face: "If we try again, I may not lose."

The two are equally strong, and who wins or loses depends entirely on their mood and state.

"No, don't even think about coming again. Even if you come ten times or a hundred times, you are still no match for me."

Jin Yan's tone was unquestionably firm: "Your faith is not as strong as mine. You don't even have the courage to die with me. How can you defeat me?"

Yu Feng opened his mouth to retort, but the words were stuck in his throat.

Because he knew that what Jin Yan said was right.

He was indeed not afraid of death, but he still had ambitions that had not been fulfilled, so he did not want to die together with Jin Yan, and did not want to end up in such a meaningless death.

But Jin Yan was different. He intended to die together with Yu Feng as soon as he made a move.

Both sides have different bottom lines. Even if their strengths are equal, the outcome of the fight is already determined.

Yu Feng, who was speechless, suddenly sneered: "Now that I lose, are you going to kill me?"

"I'll deal with you later."

Jin Yan did not say whether to kill or not, but turned and looked at Shen Cheng who was standing on the top of the pyramid, his brows tightly locked.

If it could be considered an accident that Shen Cheng was able to run into this secret underground space for unknown reasons before, then the fact that he could now break through the defenses set up around the pyramid by emotional energy and approach despite the oppressive force emitted by Jin Xing meant that his strength was definitely more than just extraordinary.

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Feng suddenly burst into laughter, his voice full of self-mockery: "I didn't expect that both of us were so blinded by this. We were so busy killing each other that we were fooled by a powerful character who sneaked in."

Two dogs fight, play off.

Maybe Jin Yan and Yu Feng had not learned this proverb, but their mood at this moment was the same as this saying.

Jin Yan took a deep breath, squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, barely flew into the air, and arrived in front of the pyramid.

"Your Excellency, the special envoy of the White Night Kingdom."

Although Jin Yan was angry, his tone was still calm: "I don't care how you got here, nor do I care what your purpose is. I will give you a choice now. Leave here immediately, and I can pretend that you have never been here."

Shen Cheng asked back: "Why do you think you are still qualified to let me make a choice now?"

I was just chatting and laughing with your master Jin Xing, and even played a trick on him, and now you are talking to me in such a condescending tone. You have no tact at all.
