C184 The Price of Mourning

Shen Lang wiped away his tears: "Grandpa …" Please forgive me … He couldn't accept such an arrangement. If Mingyue really did die, then his grandson wouldn't be able to live on by himself. Just assume that this grandson's heart is not magnanimous and can't afford to shoulder the fate of all mankind in the future … Grandson … "I can't do it."

Shen Zhan didn't show any strange expression towards Shen Lang's reply. It was as if he had already expected Shen Lang's attitude.

"I understand." Shen Zhan patted Shen Lang's shoulder: "Although you are Kunlun Ruins High Lord, but you are also a young man with flesh and blood feelings, moreover... You're still Mingyue's husband. "

"Grandpa …"

Shen Zhan stared into Shen Lang's eyes, "Have you ever wondered, when the opening of the spatial passageway caused the gigantic beast's Mortal World to be on the verge of wreaking havoc in 2012, how did you, who was in imminent danger, suddenly increase your strength from the first level of the Common Rank to the ninth level of the Common Rank in a mere month?"

Shen Lang was stunned. At that time, all he thought of was how to solve the world crisis, so he didn't care much about the sudden increase in his strength.

Shen Zhan's expression became complicated, "You have a physique that is rarely seen in the past few thousand years. If the space in the mortal world has sufficient resources, from the first level of the Common Rank to the ninth level of the Common Rank, you wouldn't even need a month. But just as I said before, this world's resources are almost completely depleted, and its source energy resources are almost completely depleted. In such an environment, you've still surpassed several levels in one go. Why is that? "

Shen Lang's lips trembled: "Yes..." "Why?"

Shen Zhan turned around with his back to Shen Lang, "You also know that Dark Apostle is an extremely mysterious existence. We old things know a little more about them than you do. This is an existence that can give powerful strength to a human being, but the condition is that within a specific time limit, the person's soul will be collected. "

Shen Lang's heart suddenly twitched: "Could it be …" The reason why I was able to reach the ninth level of the Common Rank … Yes... "Because …"

Shen Zhan didn't answer directly but continued:

"Other than the Dark Apostle, there is another kind of existence which is similar to it, but also has a certain degree of complex relationship with it. It is called the Holy Envoy. The Dark Apostle and the Holy Envoys are divided into three levels. The majority of the Dark Apostle and the Holy Envoys who roam the Mortal World are the lowest level three stage.

"And then, above the Dark Apostle and the Holy Envoy, there are even more powerful people. These two are existences that the most powerful of the Third Heavenly Layer fear. "

"That year, because our estimation of the situation in the three levels of Heavenly Passage was wrong, we almost caused the huge beast to sweep across the Mortal World. At that time, the situation was too dangerous, and we needed to have the top power of the Mortal World to deal with it, so Qin Yun and I sacrificed the lives of nearly a thousand people from the Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Rain Families in this ancient fortress, summoning the Dark Sovereign King and Saint Lord of Light."

Hearing Shen Zhan's words, Shen Lang's blood instantly froze.

Only now did he know that the Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Rain Great Families had made such a sacrifice!

"Feng Ning..." Cloud Scattering... Lei Zhi and Yu Dun, they … Does everyone know about this? " Shen Lang asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course I do." Shen Zhan slowly walked to the window with his back facing Shen Lang, "As long as it's someone from the Four Great Families, with a single word from Kunlun Ruins or High Lord, they are willing to give up their life without a single complaint! The reason why the four people you spoke of became the masters of the Four Great Clans at such a young age is precisely because their parents, the managers of the previous generation, all set an example and led their clan's righteous men to Kunlun Ruins. All of them … "Sacrifice."

"We sacrificed the lives of a thousand people in order for Qin Yun and I to meet the Sovereign King of Darkness and Saint Lord of Light. Afterwards, the two of us led the ten thousand knights to sign a contract with these two. In exchange for the souls of Qin Yun and ten thousand other Knights, they will bestow you with the power to go straight to the ninth level of Common Rank! "

"The time limit for the knights is one year. A year later, they are all taken away. As for Qin Yun and I, we have to stay for a few more years to ensure that the follow-up plan is carried out. Until two years ago, shortly after you and Mingyue got married, Qin Yun's deadline was up. As for me … "It'll be soon as well …"

Everything Shen Zhan said was starting to irritate Shen Lang's nerves more and more.

Such a tragic action made Shen Lang kneel to the ground and cry like the rain.

Shen Zhan extended his hand and caressed the window edge that was covered with wind erosion marks: "Once upon a time, this huge ancient Kunlun Ruins fortress and countless other buildings around it were all filled with core members of the Kunlun Ruins. "Those people are all gone …"

"Grandson, even if so many people made such a sacrifice, you still aren't willing to fulfill our wish at the final moment?" Shen Zhan turned around and looked at the kneeling Shen Lang.

"Ah!" Shen Lang raised his head and let out a sorrowful roar. Then, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and fainted.

Shen Zhan hurriedly came over to help Shen Lang up. Unexpectedly, he found that there was a faint golden light flowing in the pool of blood on the ground. After a while, the weak golden light completely disappeared.

"This …" Shen Zhan was surprised.

Three days later, Shen Lang woke up from his coma. However, after he woke up, his eyes became empty, as if he had become a different person.

And at this time, one of the stewards of the Kunlun Ruins, Luo Shu, had unknowingly strengthened the defense of the ancient fortress. He had even dispatched a large number of elite knights to the ancient fortress, as if he was about to face some kind of strong danger.

Luo Shu was the external butler of Kunlun Ruins, and the defense of Kunlun Ruins Castle was one of his main responsibilities.

As for the steward, Hee Tu, he was busy arranging people to clean and decorate the castle.1

That night, all the members of the castle were ready for battle. Shen Zhan and his two stewards stood outside the gate of the castle, looking at the distance with a serious expression.

In the ancient castle, Shen Lang was sitting in his bedroom with a blank expression. He was staring at the ceiling in a daze. Occasionally, he would call out softly, "Mingyue …"

BOOM!

A loud sound echoed outside the castle.

At the same time, a light appeared outside the castle, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime.

Shen Lang was surprised for a moment. A trace of clarity appeared in his eyes. He slowly got up and walked to the balcony.

At the entrance of the ancient castle, even Shen Zhan looked nervous.
