Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Jiang Ning's words revealed the core problem of this world.

The real tragedy may not be the injustice suffered by Gu Qingyu, but the world oppressed by the evil spirit clan.

The two rushed to the imperial city quickly.

Standing at the gate of the imperial city, Jiang Ning saw corpses lying on the ground.

From the outside, no wounds were found on these corpses, but upon closer inspection, it was found that the souls of all the corpses had been taken away.

According to the survivors, Gu Qingyu and the Evil Spirit Clan are here.

The two stepped into the imperial city, and the once prosperous place was now lifeless, without a trace of life.

Walking all the way to the depths of the imperial city, the two of them didn't see a single living person.

"In just a few days, Zhuo Meng turned so crazy." Ling Chuge couldn't help but say.

The entire imperial city is now no different from a dead city.

"He should be trying to repair the soul that was burned by the immortal fire. The best way to repair the soul is to replenish the soul with the soul, and to repair your own soul by eating other people's souls." Jiang Ning speculated.

"Boom!" There was a sudden loud noise not far ahead, and then, a palace collapsed due to being overwhelmed.

Above the collapsed palace, two figures could be seen facing each other.

As they got closer, Jiang Ning and Ling Chuge could see their faces clearly.

On one side is Gu Qingyu, on the other side is... Gu Qingyi!

It's just that the Gu Qingyi now is completely different from the one he saw before.

Although she was still dressed in white, her eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.

With just one glance, Jiang Ning deduced that the current Gu Qingyi was not the real Gu Qingyi.

Zhuo Meng is just a soul. If he wants to show his true strength, he must parasitize in other people's bodies.

Obviously this time, Gu Qingyi became his container.

"I didn't expect you would dare to come. Today next year will be your death anniversary." Zhuo Meng sneered.

In the past few days, Zhuo Meng has sucked many living souls. Not only has Zhuo Meng healed the wounds left by the immortal fire, but he has also improved his strength to a higher level.

Zhuo Meng opened his palm, and a steady stream of black energy poured out. He wanted to awaken the dead in this city and become his subordinates.

The evil spirit clan that he once worked so hard for has been completely destroyed by Gu Qingyu. Now, he wants to build a new force, and he wants to become the uncrowned king of this force.

The black energy spread throughout the imperial city, and countless corpses gradually stood up after absorbing the black energy.

Ling Chuge immediately set up a barrier and the two of them hid inside.

With so many skeleton soldiers, head-on confrontation is definitely not possible.

Fortunately, Ling Chuge's barrier can block outside sight, making it impossible for the skeleton soldiers to detect them for the time being.

In the air, the battle between Gu Qingyu and Zhuo Meng has reached its climax.

Although Zhuo Meng recovered his soul, his strength was constantly being consumed by being trapped in Gu Qingyu's body for so many days.

Now he and Gu Qingyu were fighting, and their strength was just about even.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the battle between the two is just a draw, but Gu Qingyu's strength is obviously consumed faster than Zhuo Meng.

If this continues, Gu Qingyu will be defeated before long.

Gu Qingyu, who knew he could not continue, suddenly revealed a flaw.

Zhuo Meng seized a flaw and quickly approached Gu Qingyu.

Just when Zhuo Meng thought that this time he was foolproof and could kill Gu Qingyu, something unexpected happened.

Gu Qingyu, who was still at a disadvantage, suddenly turned around, holding the seal that had already been formed in his hand.

The seal took effect, and a barrier enveloped the two of them.

"Yun Xiang, Xia Jing, use the Divine Fire Talisman!" After controlling Zhuo Meng, Gu Qingyu immediately shouted to the two people below.

"What?!" Zhuo Meng then noticed Jiang Ning and Ling Chuge below.

"But..." Jiang Ning held the divine fire talisman and was confused for a moment.

Gu Qingyu's current position is very close to Zhuo Meng. If the divine fire talisman is used now, both of them will be engulfed in flames.

On the way here, although Jiang Ning speculated that their mission target was not Gu Qingyu, she was not sure whether her speculation was correct.

Once the divine fire talisman is released, Gu Qingyu and Zhuo Meng will perish together. Gu Qingyu herself definitely knows this.

"Don't give him a chance to escape! Hurry!" Gu Qingyu tried his best to maintain the seal.

Zhuo Meng kept struggling in it, trying to break free from Gu Qingyu's shackles.

"What should we do?" Ling Chuge asked.

Jiang Ning closed her eyes and kept recalling what Gu Qingyu said to her yesterday in her mind.

"Most people in the world have good intentions, but they have to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages because of their weakness."

"People in this world live in fear of the evil spirits all year round, which makes them like frightened birds. When they encounter anything related to the evil spirits, fear overcomes their reason, causing them to do many irrational things."

"I understand." Jiang Ning opened his eyes and his eyes fell on Gu Qingyu and Zhuo Meng in the air.

"The source of the tragedy here is the Evil Spirit Clan. If we want to change the tragedy here, the only way is to completely destroy the Evil Spirit Clan!" Jiang Ning said firmly every word.

"I have no evidence to prove that what I said is right, but my intuition tells me that it should be like this." Jiang Ning looked at Ling Chuge.

Ling Chuge looked into Jiang Ning's eyes and said seriously, "Since there is no evidence, let's verify it ourselves."

This was a life-and-death bet, but Ling Chuge gave Jiang Ning the choice.

Feeling Ling Chuge's trust, Gu Qingyu held the divine fire talisman tightly, and the spiritual power in his hand continued to pour into it.

When the spiritual power in the divine fire talisman reached the critical point, Jiang Ning aimed at the two people Gu Qingyu and Zhuomeng in the air and threw the divine fire talisman.

The divine fire talisman exploded the moment it came into contact with the two people in the air. The divine fire spread quickly, and the fire snake engulfed all four of them.

Zhuo Meng will never have the possibility of escaping from such a large-scale divine fire.

Similarly, Jiangning, Ling Chuge and Gu Qingyu were also surrounded by divine fire.

When Jiang Ning regained consciousness again, she found that she and Ling Chuge were in a space filled with white mist.

Except for the two of them, there was no one around.

"What is this place?" Jiang Ning asked.

Ling Chuge shook his head, he had just woken up.

The surrounding white mist suddenly began to gather, condensing into a figure in front of Jiang Ning Ling Chuge.

Ling Chuge subconsciously blocked Jiang Ning behind him and looked at the figure warily.

The figure gradually took shape, and finally, a familiar face appeared in front of the two of them.

"Lu Qi?!"

"Lu Qi?!"

The two said in unison.

"It's me." Lu Qi nodded and looked at the two of them.

"You passed the illusion test."

"Test?" Ling Chuge wondered, "What test?"

"The illusion you just experienced is what really happened 500 years ago. There were many people who entered the sinkhole to participate in the test, but most of them failed to persist until the end. Even if they persisted until the end, they could not find The root of the tragedy. You are the first."
