Chapter 191 Someone has been watching her.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, Wu Zhao's face turned deathly pale.
Some blurry images gradually became clearer in her mind.
Under the dim sky, a massive pillar of heaven gradually collapsed.
The thunder sounded like a lament from heaven and earth, the gale swept across the land, and crowds of people ran around weeping.
A terrifying, malevolent spirit, laughing wildly, surged forth from behind the collapsed pillar of heaven, engulfing the earth...
A stubborn emperor, seeking immortality, secretly captured infants to use in alchemy.
The advice of the newly appointed young imperial advisor was not accepted by the emperor and instead brought about the extermination of his clan. The imperial advisor, having lost his family, went berserk and caused the world to collapse.
"it's me……"
"It broke the pillar of heaven, causing it to collapse..."
Wu Zhao covered his forehead, feeling waves of tearing pain in his chest.
"Zhao Zhao!"
Wu Lan's transparent figure flew to her side, wanting to touch her body.
"Why didn't any of you tell me that I forgot such an important thing?"
Wu Zhao raised his head, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.
"...At that time, the Wu family was almost razed to the ground, and very few of its members survived." Wu Lan's expression was somewhat heavy, and he sighed.
A slender hand touched her cheek in mid-air. "Zhao Zhao, at that time your power had gone berserk. No one could get close to you except Lord Junwu."
"I don't know how Lord Junwu calmed your power down, nor do I know why he imprisoned you behind the Gates of the Underworld..."
He smiled and said, "But seeing you standing before me now, completely unharmed... is truly wonderful."
Wu Zhao subconsciously pressed down on the ring on his hand.
The blood-red gemstone emitted a faint warmth, and the fine golden lines pulsed rhythmically.
Tears welled up in Wu Lan's eyes. "Zhao Zhao, it's your brothers' fault for being useless. They made you bear this karma. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have broken the Heavenly Pillar."
"We instilled in you the belief that the emperor is ordained by Heaven, and we also put you in charge of protecting the emperor. He made mistakes, but that was not your fault."
Wu Zhao stared at him blankly.
“Brother…you said that Junwu calmed my power…then how come he is so weak that his power is about to dissipate? I can’t sense his power at all now…only the laws are maintaining the operation of the Heavenly Dao.”
The power of Heaven's Dao was so great that even the Son of Heaven could not protect him, allowing Gu Chen to be plotted against.
What exactly is wrong with Jun Wu, who is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao?
“If he wanted to see you, Lord Junwu would have appeared long ago,” Wu Lan said. “The reason he’s not showing up now is probably because… he can’t come out to see you.”
“Zhaozhao, now that you have come out of the Yellow Springs Gate, the karma on your body should be settled... Since Heaven has let you go, you no longer need to worry about being punished by Heaven.”
At this point, Wu Lan couldn't help but feel relieved, "Seeing that you are safe and sound, I... am relieved."
“Brother!” Wu Zhao shook his head, “Heaven’s punishment has not spared me.”
It's just that with Gu Chen by her side, the Heavenly Punishment was afraid of striking him, so it didn't dare to make a move.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhao couldn't help but press the ring on his hand hard.
Wu Lan was drawn to her movements and looked down at the blood-red gem on the ring.
"This is—?!" Wu Lan exclaimed in surprise, "It's Lord Junwu's... Life Bead?"
As if he had been caught doing something wrong by his elders, Wu Zhao quickly hid his hands behind his back.
A little amused and exasperated, Wu Lan tapped her forehead with her finger: "Why are you still like you were when you were little? You think you can hide and no one will see you?"
“…I’m used to it.” Wu Zhao muttered softly, “This was given to me by Jun Wu before I entered the Yellow Springs Yin Gate. He said it was compensation for me—”
Wu Lan said softly, "This is Lord Junwu's Life Bead, forged from... Lord Junwu's divine blood. It contains twenty percent of Lord Junwu's divine power. And... Zhaozhao, do you know what the Life Bead itself is?"
"What? Didn't my brother just say it was Junwu's blood?" Wu Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
With a light laugh, Wu Lan shook her head: "Divine blood is merely an aid. Do you think Lord Junwu's blood is something that just anyone can accept?"
"—The Life Bead itself is Lord Junwu's eye."
Wu Zhao: "Eyes, eyes?!"
She looked down at the ring with some shock.
Under her gaze, the blood-red gem seemed to flash with light, and the thin golden line contracted slightly.
Although Wu Zhao had always known that the gem might be alive, he never imagined that it would actually be Jun Wu's eye!
"Then wouldn't that mean I..."
For three thousand years she was trapped in the gates of the underworld, Junwu could see her every move?!
Although Wu Zhao knew she was asleep at that time, she was inexplicably being watched by Jun Wu while she slept...
It just seems weird no matter how you look at it, right?!
Seeing that she was actually bothered by the fact that Junwu was watching her while she slept, Wu Lan couldn't help but twitch her lips.
So even the supreme being of Heaven suffers from the pain of love. His sister seems to have been oblivious for over three thousand years...
Unable to help but silently mourn for Lord Junwu, Wu Lan's eyes flickered as she decided to remain silent.
My younger sister is perfect no matter how you look at her, so let Lord Tiandao suffer a little more!
"Since you can see what I'm doing, why don't you show yourself?!" Wu Zhao held the ring up to his eyes and poked at the gem.
The warmth from the gemstone travels through your fingers, causing a slight itch.
Wu Lan smiled and said, "Although they are Lord Junwu's eyes, they have been refined after all... Perhaps Lord Junwu's control over them is not as direct as you think."
"If Lord Junwu hadn't locked you in the Yellow Springs Gate, you probably would have been directly targeted by divine punishment."
"...Don't let me find out where he is." Wu Zhao's eyes darkened. "I still have a lot of scores to settle with him."
She glared at the ring on her hand, then looked at Wu Lan and said, "Brother, have you been sleeping in the ancestral shrine all these years?"
Looking at the rows of memorial tablets, Wu Lan said, "Yes, I'm lucky. I'm fortunate to be able to rest here under the protection of the ancestral hall. Others aren't so lucky."
His gaze swept over those familiar names one by one, "Witch Flame and Witch Frost are only remnants of their souls... I wonder when they will react."
"Zhao Zhao, I can sense an ominous aura surrounding the Wu family." Wu Lan's expression turned serious. "Is someone plotting against the Wu family?"
Wu Zhao nodded: "I found Nightmare in the house. I made sure I had dealt with all of those things."
"...Could it be that there's something wrong with the Heavenly Pillar?" Wu Lan suddenly asked.
Tianzhu...?
