Chapter 684 The Erased History of Liaozhou
But before Lin Lan had time to think carefully, the large sword in Yun Xian's hand was completely unsheathed.
In an instant, the cold sword energy surrounded him and Yun Xian.
At the same time, dozens of even purple-tinged blue butterflies were flapping their wings and slowly emerged from the sword energy.
"Commander, Yun Xian has heard that some curses can be cast as long as the name of the cursed person is known. Please be extremely careful."
The air flow encircled by the sword energy stirred the long hair and clothes of the great sage Chongying. After hearing Yunxian's words, Lin Lan also nodded seriously.
Yun Xian was right. When he faced Abbott in Lihu County, he was dragged into the spiritual world by a similar strange ability.
The Demon King is obviously more terrifying than Abbott, and Unzen reminds him that there is absolutely no problem in staying vigilant.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the devil girl to fall into chaos. Only two or three minutes passed before her almost crazy expression gradually returned to normal.
And the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, and instead she kept looking at her body in surprise, without the black scales and bone armor.
Lin Lan knew that he still had to get answers to his questions from this demon king.
So he cleared his throat, and through the barrier formed by the sword energy and the butterfly summoned by Unzen, he tried to speak to the Demon King:
"Um, do you still remember who you are now?"
After hearing his voice, the white-haired girl finally seemed to come to her senses and looked at him again.
"Who am I? Who am I?"
After a long silence, Lin Lan and Yun Xian heard the voice of the white-haired girl in front of them, filled with endless self-deprecation and guilt.
"I was supposed to be the co-owner of the ten islands of Liaozhou who took over the responsibility given by the gods and used my life to protect the people of the ten islands of Liaozhou."
"But what exactly am I protecting?"
"What...what did I do back then...wu, wu..."
Halfway through the words, the white-haired girl held her face in her hands, knelt on the ground, broke down and burst into tears.
But these brief words she said before she broke down and cried bitterly had already caused an uproar in Lin Lan's heart.
Yunxian frowned slightly, looked at Lin Lan, and asked in a low voice the doubts in her heart:
"Sir Commander, if the information collected by everyone at Chongying is correct, there should be only nine main islands in this country called Liaozhou?"
Yes, the reason why Lin Lan was shocked was precisely because of the question Yun Xian asked him.
Ever since he traveled to the United States of Oran, all the records of Liaozhou in Oran's information have firmly described that Liaozhou has only nine main islands in total.
And now the masters of Liaozhou, the leader of the Nine Islands, Hui'an Dasi, and the official force of Liaozhou, the Nine Islands Alliance, have all proven that Liaozhou only has nine main islands in total.
What's more, when he first awakened the brave skill bar in the Iron-Blooded camp, the memory that was inserted into his mind was that the old voice also used Liaozhou Nine Islands to describe the ancient Liaozhou thousands of years ago.
Lin Lan calmed down his thoughts and recalled the names of all the main islands in Liaozhou.
Except for Zhubian Island, Inaba Island, Yuze Island and Yanrong Island, which are controlled by Tianou Group, the other main islands are:
Shouzhou Island, Shimmer Island, Gaotian Island, Changyuan Island, and the most mysterious ghost tribe's holy island that has never been open to outsiders - Jiaogui Island.
The Demon King actually claimed that he was the co-owner of ten islands. Where did this tenth main island come from?
"It seems that after the catastrophe of the Demon King's Army thousands of years ago, a lot of truth was erased from the history of Liaozhou."
Lin Lan looked at the crying Demon King and answered Yunxian softly.
He vaguely sensed some kind of conspiracy:
"If Liaozhou really had ten main islands thousands of years ago, then even if that main island sank, it would not have disappeared so cleanly in the history of Liaozhou."
"Someone must have deliberately erased that history."
"And she just said that she was once the co-leader who should protect the people of Liaozhou, but in fact she became the Demon King. It's very possible..."
"She was the first batch of Liaozhou people who were controlled by the mysterious enemy X pollution."
Lin Lan thought about it and expressed his thoughts to Yunxian.
After listening to his reasoning, Yun Xian nodded in agreement.
After all, she didn't have as much information as the commander, and she couldn't find any fault with Lin Lan's well-founded reasoning.
But Yun Xian was secretly frightened.
Because if it was true, as the commander said, that someone deliberately erased this history, who would that person be?
In addition to the sealed Demon King's army, are there other people in Liaozhou who are controlled by the mysterious enemy X's pollution?
The enemy hidden in the dark is far greater than the threat posed in the open.
What Lin Lan has not told Yunxian yet is that he seriously suspects that the fault line in the ancient Liaozhou civilization may have been set up by the people who erased history thousands of years ago.
In the Siren Fortress, he, Akagi and the others had already seen the Demon King's army monsters that were captured by the Sirens and completely corrupted by the X energy.
Even the Sirens are so cautious when fighting against the Demon King's army that will spread their own pollution after death, let alone Liaozhou, which even the Tianou Group can't compete with now.
After his voice became hoarse from crying, the Demon King finally stopped crying due to exhaustion.
The Demon King who stopped crying also stood up unsteadily. To Lin Lan and Yunxian's surprise, he leaned down to them and made a deep bow to apologize.
"Please forgive me for my rudeness just now... I am a sinner of Liaozhou, God pity Ying."
"I didn't expect that I, who had forgotten the mission given by the gods and transformed into a minion of the evil spirit, would still have a chance to get rid of the evil spirit's control and one day get my own body back."
Only then, through the devil's hoarse voice, did Lin Lan finally know the devil's name.
As for the evil spirit that the girl named Shen Lianying mentioned, it goes without saying that it naturally refers to the energy of the mysterious enemy X.
He breathed a long sigh of relief. The Demon King finally regained his senses and he could communicate and negotiate with him.
But he was still not in a hurry to let Yun Xian lift the barrier created by the sword energy and the blue butterfly. Instead, he looked at the Demon King and asked calmly:
"God pity Sakura, how do you know my name?"
After hearing his words, Shen Lianying straightened up.
The demon king folded up the white bone wings behind him, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on him because of the painful crying just now.
The white-haired girl looked at him carefully, as if she was confirming something.
"Are you...really Lin Lan? You can use the power of the goddess just like Yuki. You have become a brave...but what about Yuki?"
The corner of Lin Lan's mouth twitched. He was obviously the one who asked the question first, but Shen Lianying in front of him threw more questions at him.
"Ah, hug, sorry!"
Kamirei Sakura noticed a hint of dissatisfaction in the purple eyes of the guard next to Lin Lan who was holding a large sword and was more beautiful than any woman she had ever seen, and she realized her impoliteness.
"Hizuru Yuki defeated me who was once controlled by evil spirits. Before being taken away for sealing, I briefly regained my sanity. When I was talking to her, I heard her say this name."
"I thought this was someone she valued, so I wrote down the name."
Shen Lianying briefly explained to Lin Lan and Yun Xian how she knew the name.
And Lin Lan was finally sure that the girl named Shen Lianying was the Demon King himself from thousands of years ago.
But beyond that, the doubts in his heart were even worse.
Didn't Yuki defeat the Demon King in the first place? From what Kamei Sakura said, the relationship between her and Yuki is not bad?
So he continued to ask:
"Do you remember this name to take revenge on me after escaping from the seal?"
"No, how is this possible?"
Facing his question, Shen Lianying quickly showed a flustered look and shook her head in denial.
What Kamire Sakura said next made him and Yun Xian stunned at the same time.
"I'm really, really grateful to Yuki."
"If she had not sealed me, who was controlled by the evil spirit, but chose to kill... not only the Liaozhou Ten Islands, this world would have been completely destroyed by the evil spirit."
