Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 148: Moths to the Flame

The anger that had lasted for more than ten thousand years was finally extinguished as he told all the secrets that he had never shared with anyone for many years.

The underground chamber was dark and quiet again, but Yu Xiaobo could clearly hear his heart pounding, as if it might explode at any time.

After a long time, he was able to regain the ability to breathe. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you never tell me?"

Yu Wannian responded calmly: "You don't have the ability to bear the truth. Whether it is the reason why your mother was eroded by the desolate poison or the torture she suffered when she was under house arrest in the later period, it will only make you do stupid things. In comparison For me, a playboy who is obsessed with fighting for power with his brothers and sisters is more suitable for you. "

In an instant, the anger in Yu Xiaobo's heart also rekindled, burning away the emotion that had just surged up.

That's right, this is Yu Wannian, a father who fills his heart with admiration and resentment.

He knows better than anyone that his father has never loved him, but it is precisely because of this that he will fight for power at all costs, constantly betting everything on a gamble that is almost certain to lose!

But I heard Yu Wannian say again: "I thought that if you indulged in the internal fighting within the family, at least no matter what happened, I would be able to protect you a way out. However, fate has played a trick on you, and you still reached a dead end... I can't let you die, so I have to hold you here. However, ordinary principles don't make sense to you, so even if it hurts your self-esteem and shatters your three views, I will say whatever I need to say. , if you can wake up on your own and live like a human being, that would be the best. If you are still stubborn, I can only send you to the Ice Garden to calm down for a few years, or let the generals of the Dinghuang Army take care of you on my behalf. ”

After saying that, Yu Wannian stared at his son solemnly again, as if waiting for his decision.

Yu Xiaobo shook his head to get rid of the absurd feeling in his mind, and then asked incredulously: "You...what's the use of saying this now? I don't have much time anymore."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at an hourglass not far away.

That was Wang Luo's "gift" given to him in Cai Yixuan, and now the fine sand has almost drained away.

Yu Wannian asked: "Aren't you dismissive of his threat? This is the ruins of the True Lord, and there is a martial law, or the blessing of heaven, what are you afraid of?"

And even as he asked this question, the fine sand in the hourglass was still flowing, as if mountains were falling in Yu Xiaobo's heart.

Unknowingly, his teeth were chattering: "This was the ancient town of Lingxi in the old immortal calendar era. The true king who built the spiritual chamber here must be the true monarch of Lingshan. The protective formation of the spiritual chamber can block the sky. Tribulation, but could not stop Lingshan's own family... The Dou Zun, who was almost transformed into a desert, could not shake the spirit chamber even with all his strength, but Lord Zhi Yao only needed to say one sentence to open the spirit chamber. For the master of Lingshan Mountain, there will definitely be no obstacles at all!”

Yu Wannian was a little surprised: "It's not bad to think of this. However, as early as the Dinghuang era, the spiritual chamber here was sealed with the Lingshan Mountain and was personally transformed by Lord Zhiyao. The more people from the old world, The less likely it is to break through the barrier of the Lingshan Mountain. If he is really the master of Lingshan Mountain, it is impossible for him to hurt you. What's more, the academy's martial law is not just for show. It is far more subtle and mysterious than you think, and people can perceive it. Part of it is just the surface layer. Over the past thousand years, later generations have integrated at least ten layers of reinforcement into the martial law. Unless it is pressed with extreme brute force, no magic technique in this world can break through its protection... right? , Professor Meng?”

Professor Meng?

Yu Xiaobo was startled when he heard this, and then heard a sigh coming from the darkness of the spiritual chamber.

"Yes, the academy has many flashy decorations, but only old objects such as the martial arts order are carefully designed and maintained by every generation of academy people. With this order, although it cannot be said that everything is perfect, but if you want to use external force Breakthrough is extremely difficult.”

As the voice sounded, an old man wearing a gray robe also appeared. It was Meng Fengyin, a professor who was now quite prestigious in Chengyintang.

Yu Wannian nodded: "Professor Meng, thank you for your hard work... Professor Lang, what do you think?"

In the darkness, there was another sigh: "I am not specialized in this, so I naturally rely on Professor Meng for my professional opinions."

Yu Wannian asked: "But don't you think that the academy's military discipline order has been deviated before?"

Professor Lang said: "It's just some hearsay stories, how can we be sure? But if I have to say it, although the academy's martial law has been strengthened many times over the years, the truly effective strengthening is only in terms of thickness, making it change. It is getting harder and harder to break through. But the problem of coverage has not been solved. What is the ban on killing chickens and sheep in the kitchen? Should amputation be banned in hospitals? No ban? These loopholes cannot be completely closed. Once someone is caught, the martial arts order will become a protective shield for the perpetrators... Professor Meng, am I right?"

Professor Meng coughed a few times: "The truth is indeed good, but maintenance over the years has always resulted in fewer and fewer loopholes. Professor Feng should also have a say in this."

Yu Xiaobo was surprised to find that this empty spiritual chamber was not actually empty.

Just, why? Why did they come?

Yu Wannian saw the doubt in his mind and replied calmly: "It is not just your responsibility that you have reached this point, so I called everyone involved."

As he spoke, the light in the spirit room gradually became stronger, allowing Yu Xiaobo to see the surroundings farther away. He saw the most familiar black and white demons, Gu Quan... and even Shi Xiusheng, the useless man, standing trembling in the spirit room!

"Don't worry, they came after we finished talking nonsense between father and son." Yu Wannian said, "And there is only one purpose for letting them come, which is to save your life."

"I..." Yu Xiaobo felt his throat dry.

Although he was called a playboy by Yu Wannian, he actually relied on his own ability to enter the academy and even join the mathematics group. So when he saw everyone present, he thought of the formation at the first time!

These people who have a deep connection with him gathered here, of course not for brainstorming, their existence itself is meaningful!

Just as he was thinking, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.

A group of masked men in black clothes appeared silently in everyone's sight. They were the highest-ranking black guards in the Bolan Manor Secret Guards. They only obeyed the orders of Yu Wannian, and even Gu Cangsheng could not command them.

These black guards walked to Yu Xiaobo and placed seven palm-sized puppets on the ground. The puppets were simply carved to vaguely show clothes and facial features... and I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Xiaobo always felt that these wooden idols were alive and familiar.

"Each puppet represents a life." Yu Wannian said calmly, and then finally stood up and placed the life map in front of Yu Xiaobo, which he had been comprehending for a long time. Together with the seven puppets next to him, they vaguely formed an eight-sided chaotic formation.

"If everything is fine, then this formation will be my fault. If not, it should be able to save your life, and if it really comes to the worst..."

Yu Wannian's tone was still calm, but the chill in his words frightened everyone present!

At this time, Yu Xiaobo suddenly had an idea in his mind.

These seven puppets are clearly the seven people who are close to Wang Luo!

Shi Yue, Zhao Xiuwen, Zhou Lu, Qin Yu, Gu Shishi, Fan Li, Kong Zhang!

And the life map in Yu Wannian's hand is not the one he usually comprehends, but Yu Xiaobo's eight-way fortune-reducing array map!
