Chapter 355 Cutting down a tree is not as good as digging up its roots
Lightning crackled around the jade pendant in her hand, giving Xue Lan a tingling sensation in her palm.
Upon probing with her divine sense, Xue Lan saw a phantom figure emerge from the jade pendant.
A young man dressed in a wide, crimson robe emerged from behind the jade pendant, landing without making a sound.
The middle-aged man's long robe collar was slightly open, and he was holding a small jar of wine in his hand. With a gentle lift of his hand, a unique carved wooden chair appeared on the floor next to Xue Lan's bed.
Kui Shengge sat down, her beautifully shaped eyes looking at Xue Lan, with a faint flash of lightning in her dark pupils.
Xue Lan bowed slightly in his direction and said, "Xue Lan greets Senior."
Kui Shengge laughed heartily, displaying remarkable nonchalance, and sized up the person in front of him before speaking:
"what do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Lan was greatly alarmed, and her eyelashes fluttered rapidly in her gray-white eyes.
Then Kui Shengge heard Xue Lan's calm voice tinged with a hint of doubt:
"Xue Lan doesn't understand what you mean, senior."
Kui Shengge looked at the gray-eyed woman on the opposite bed and gently shook her head:
"Little Silver Wolf, I am not from the lower realm, and I cannot be fooled by a few words."
Xue Lan remained expressionless and said, "How could Xue Lan deceive a senior? I truly do not know what the senior is asking?"
Kui Shengge looked at Xue Lan, her fingertips twirling the red rope on the wine jar, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed: "What do you want to do in Yandu?"
Xue Lan continued to fabricate lies: "Since a wisp of your aura is here, you must already know about what Xue Lan has gone through."
Kui Shengge knew that the person in front of her was not going to tell the truth. The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Yes, I know what you've been through..."
"I also know your true purpose."
The middle-aged man looked at the jade pendant in Xue Lan's hand: "You want to break the heavens, don't you?"
Xue Lan wondered if this matter was really so easy to guess? Had she become so shallow that anyone could see right through her?
Kui Shengge watched Xue Lan deep in thought, a smile playing on her lips:
"It seems you really don't remember anything at all."
Xue Lan suddenly looked up at Kui Shengge: "Senior, do we have a past life connection?"
In fact, Xue Lan had already guessed that Kui Shenge knew about her past life when her inner demons stirred within the Thunder Kui Formation for the first time.
It's just that it hasn't been able to be verified.
Kui Shengge shook his head slightly at Xue Lan, his middle-aged voice becoming low and deep:
"We're not exactly old acquaintances, we're just people I know."
Xue Lan nodded slightly: "What level of understanding would you call that?"
Kui Shengge smiled slightly, finding the little silver wolf rather interesting.
The middle-aged man pretended to ponder for a while, then smiled and spoke:
"I am the Great Formation, and you are the Guardian General, that's why!"
Xue Lan did some mental calculations. According to Kui Shengge, that should have been when she was the chief ruler of the wolf clan, guarding the Lei Kui Pass in the upper realm.
But how could a garrison commander and a remnant soul within the formation possibly develop a bond? Perhaps I was just a chatterbox back then, enjoying talking to the formation all day long when I had nothing better to do.
Kui Shengge could tell from Xue Lan's expression that he was overthinking things again.
This little silver wolf's previous life was meaningless; he was just a lump of wood and iron. But this life is quite interesting.
It's just that I've developed a problem where I can't control my thoughts.
If Xue Lan knew what Kui Shengge was thinking, he would definitely pull Xue Tong in front of him immediately and explain seriously.
Xue Lan: Actually, I wasn't like this before, but then I met a system...
Kui Shengge patted the armrest of the chair, her tone filled with helplessness:
"Okay, stop thinking about it."
"I don't have much of a relationship with you, and I'm not here to reminisce about the past."
The middle-aged man broke the seal on the wine jar and took a sip of wine directly from the jar.
"Let me ask you properly, do you want to cut down the Sky-Reaching Green Willow?"
Xue Lan's heart skipped a beat: "No, senior... this is Yun Chuan County."
Is it appropriate to say that this is Yunchuan County, at the foot of Tongtian Green Willow?
She only came to investigate the situation in Yandu, but she didn't expect this person to say it so bluntly.
Kui Shengge said nonchalantly, "I know."
Xue Lan then sighed, "Senior already knows, why did you have to say it!"
The woman carefully chose her words before speaking: "Senior, did you come here today to tell Xue Lan to stop dreaming?"
Kui Shengge took another sip of wine. The middle-aged man gently shook his head and then spoke:
"No, I've come here to tell you that this is feasible!"
Xue Lan was taken aback: "What did you say, senior?"
Kui Shengge repeated, "This is feasible!"
The middle-aged man stood up from his chair and flicked his sleeve:
"Two days ago, this was still a pipe dream, but now it is a real and feasible thing. It is a great thing that will benefit both the human and demon races, and even the willow demon Zhu Qing."
Xue Lan wanted to get out of bed to pay her respects, but Kui Shenge stopped her:
"Alright, sit down. Demons don't care about such formalities."
“If I force you, a cripple, to get out of bed now and kneel and kowtow to me three times and nine times, my cheap apprentice will be unhappy.”
To the right of Xue Lan's room, the cheap apprentice Yan Chengxue felt a chill run down her spine.
Xue Lan did not get out of bed, but instead bowed slightly to Kui Shengge from the bed: "Please, senior, bestow your teachings!"
Kui Shengge glanced at Xue Lan and slowly said, "You are a reincarnation of a cultivator from the upper realm, so I will state it plainly here."
"The barrier between the upper and lower realms of Yuanming Realm is essentially Fusang, which was forged by the two divine trees of Qingliu absorbing the foundation of the lower realm. You know this, right?"
Xue Lan nodded slightly: "This junior understands."
Kui Shengge chuckled and uttered a shocking statement: "Then why do you insist on cutting down the tree? Why not just dig up the roots!"
Xue Lan kept replaying Kui Sheng Ge's words in her mind:
"Just dig up the roots!"
"Just dig up the root..."
"Digging deep... Senior, this is really..."
This is just too much like the King of Hell.
I'm thinking about cutting down the tree, and you're already thinking about digging up the roots.
So the battles between the demon races ten thousand years ago were so ruthless?
Kui Shengge couldn't hold back any longer and gently patted Xue Lan on the head, forcefully interrupting Xue Lan's train of thought.
"Listen to me again!"
"Ten thousand years ago, in order to prevent the demon race from entering the lower realm from the Void River, the Tongtian Qingliu planted its own body on the Yellow Springs Reincarnation of the Void River. As a result, it became one with Reincarnation for ten thousand years and could not leave even half a step. The earth vein power accumulated in its body could not be absorbed by itself, nor could it be released rashly to affect the lower realm. Therefore, it could only continuously maintain the barrier between itself and the upper realm."
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, his dark eyes looked at Xue Lan, whose expression had changed slightly.
Xue Lan recalled what Kui Shengge had said before, and also gleaned some clues from the earth's veins and reincarnation...
The woman slowly spoke:
"Does Senior mean... that the cycle of reincarnation in the Yuanming Realm is incomplete?"
