After listening to his words for a while, Ge Hua Qing couldn't help but laugh disdainfully. He then coldly said, "To think that you are a martial artist. You can't tell what's so special about this move!"

"Look at your grandpa!" Suddenly, he turned his body and grabbed the lid of the coffin with both hands. Then, he twisted his waist and swept it across Ge Hua Qing's body.

This move was extremely powerful and violent. Ge Huazhi did not dare to take it head-on, and with a tap of his feet, he actually grabbed onto Wu Weidao and sent him flying backwards, barely dodging the onslaught of attacks. In anger, he let out a cry and roared: "Let's see where you can hide!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, he stabbed the coffin lid straight towards him. Ge Hua Qing's face changed as he suddenly raised the coffin lid. He wanted to use Wu Xiangdao as his shield!

His chest rose up and down in anger as he cursed: "Smelly old Daoist, if you have the guts, then come down here and fight with me. Using the hall master as a shield, what kind of ability is that?"

"Humph!" Ge Huajing smiled disdainfully. "To deal with a boorish fellow like you, using intellect is the best strategy! If you have the ability, why don't you continue? "

The more he refused to fight, the angrier he got. However, there was nothing he could do. That feeling of not being able to vent out his anger was truly driving him crazy!

He gradually began to feel dizzy, and everything in front of his eyes became blurry and difficult to make out. In the midst of the haziness, he could faintly hear a woman's voice that sounded so fleeting and gentle, as if she were softly calling his name, "Seems like Dao, like Dao …"

This voice was too familiar to him, and without even thinking about it, that name surfaced in his mind — — Yun He!

That's right, it was Yun He!

This was something he remembered from the start, but he had never wanted to talk about this Yun He. She actually came out from the deepest part of his heart when he was about to die, this was something even Wu Xiangdao was surprised about!

She was still as weak as before, just like when he saw her in the smoke array. But at this moment, Wu Weidao couldn't tell that she was fake because the fake Yun He definitely wouldn't call him by that name!

As the voice entered her ears and eventually reached her heart, her appearance gradually became clear and vivid in Wu Xiangdao's mind. She was still as gentle and affectionate as before, but her situation was not good at all.

"It's like Dao, save me!" The woman stretched out her pale, desperate hands. She wanted to grab something, but what Wu Weidao could give her was empty, void of any form of response!

This was a great irony!

Because he had once promised her that he would protect her no matter what in this life, he wouldn't let anyone hurt her. But when she was truly hurt, he was so powerless!

"Seemingly Dao, Seemingly Dao!" The woman's voice became more tragic as well. Her body was slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Soon, half of her body was gone. Only her upper body was still struggling helplessly!

Wu Weidao wanted to shout so much that he could vent all the anger and bitterness in his heart. Even if that roar could only prolong the pain she was enduring, it was too much for him to even breathe. He could only watch as the scene before him slowly turned into the most tragic ending!

How pale was that feeling of helplessness!

Tears. This thing that no one could stop had finally become Wu Weidao's only way to vent his depression. It was so real and so helpless, yet it still couldn't help it!

When the last trace of darkness finally swallowed the woman's soul, Wu Weidao completely despaired! In that moment, he only felt that he was no longer him, but another person. A body without a soul, without life, without conviction, without hope, and even this body did not belong to him at all!

Tears slid down his face, making him itch in pain, but this feeling had long since stopped Wu Xiangdao's senses. Tears slid down his face, making him itch in pain, but this feeling had long since stopped Wu Xiangdao's senses, because that little pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

It was this trembling that gave Wu Xiangdao a chance to live, otherwise, he would have really suffocated to see his Yun He!

Looking at his pained expression, Ge Huajing suddenly felt that the man who was about to die with tears in his eyes was so familiar and pitiful. An image that had been sealed away for so many years gradually appeared in his heart!

That was when they drank the last bowl of decapitated wine. Everyone was crying as they lowered their heads, afraid that others would see the tears on their faces. It was as if those tears were the embodiment of sin!

However, there was one person who did not hide his tears. Instead, he raised his head high. That kind of decisiveness was like a statue deeply carved into the minds of everyone, it would never be erased!

This person was Wu Wang's crown prince.

At that time, he no longer had any domineering attitude, no impulsiveness, and lost his innocence. He lost his spirit, and finally became a steady general. He smiled miserably as he drank the remaining wine in his bowl, then heavily slammed it on the ground and coldly said, "Generals, farewell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his sword and placed it against his own neck. Everyone surrounded him, wanting to stop him from seeking fault with himself. However, he coldly shouted, "Scram!"

At that time, everyone was silent, because no one knew if they should listen to his orders!

The Crown Prince smiled miserably, and then said with a slightly bitter tone, "The victor is the king and the loser is the thief. Since fate is not in me, why do I have to ask for it? Father has already gone, and I can only follow him with my life, I won't let this battle between father and son go in vain! Everyone, please help me this time, is it possible? "

Every word he said was dripping with blood, and he was filled with despair. Everyone's heart shattered at that moment!

The crown prince finally brandished his sword and slashed at the crown prince's neck. Dark red blood immediately spurted out, splattering on many people's bodies and even more splattering their wine bowls.

This scene was too heroic and too shocking. Even though time had slipped away, he was still unable to wear down the traces of this memory. It was as if it had just happened!

Ge Huanqing stared at the tears flowing down Wu Xiangdao's face, and could not help but feel frustrated. He involuntarily asked, "Crown Prince, are you really going to abandon us?"

Wu Weidao looked at Ge Huanqing with a dazed expression on his face. His mind raced as he thought to himself, "Him calling me Crown Prince means that he thinks of me as a Crown Prince. He is most likely a subordinate of Wu Wang. Why can't I make use of this in order to survive?"

Wu Weidao squeezed out three words from his throat with all his might, "Let go of me!"

Ge Hua Qing was slightly surprised and quickly let go of his left hand. He placed Wu Weidao down on one knee and said with a terrified expression, "Greetings, Crown Prince!"

"Bastard!" Wu Weidao glared at Ge Huanqing. "Is this how you treat the Crown Prince?"

"This subordinate deserves to die!" Ge Hua Qing's face was filled with fear. "Please punish me, Crown Prince!"

"Punishment?" Wu Weidao ground his teeth in anger, "You almost took my life just now, did you know that?"

"This subordinate deserves to die ten thousand times!" Ge Hua Qing couldn't help but kowtow on the ground. "This subordinate didn't recognize the crown prince earlier. This subordinate has eyes but is unable to see, and is filled with fear and trepidation!"

"Let me ask you, what's your name?" Wu Weidao said angrily.

"Subordinate, subordinate is called Sima Xian Li …" Ge Hua Qing could not help but look up at Wu Wei and said, "What, does the crown prince not remember your subordinate?"

"Nonsense!" Wu Xiudao kicked Ge Huanqing away, his face as cold as ice. "Do you still know that you are Sima Xian? "You bastard!"

Ge Huanqing had no idea what Wu Weidao was thinking in his heart, but seeing that he was so angry, he could only silently endure. After all, the other party's position was there, so how could he casually rebel?

"Let me ask you this again. Since you have already been dead for a thousand years, why are you still alive? Why don't you go reincarnate? Are you going to be a thousand-year old ghost? " Wu Weidao snapped.

"Yes, your humble servant is terrified. Your subordinate does not know what the Crown Prince means. Please enlighten me!" Ge Hua Qing was so panicked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it away and thought to himself, "Could it be that the crown prince is drunk again?" Otherwise, why would you speak such weird nonsense? "

"You want me to explain? Is my question not clear enough? " Wu Weidao pointed at the sarcophagus in anger, "Look at these coffins, they were all prepared for you. You were all lying inside, but why are you all still alive?"

"No, that's impossible!" Ge Hua-Qing waved his hand in panic. "They're really dead! None of them survived!"

"What about you? What's the matter with you? " Wu Weidao asked with a straight face.

"Me, me?" He tried to blink his eyes in an attempt to come up with a plan. After staring blankly for a long time, he forced himself to kowtow and said, "This subordinate has a bold plan, but I don't dare to say it out loud. Unless the Crown Prince can spare me from death first!"

Hearing that, Wu Weidao's face turned cold and he shouted, "What's wrong? You still dare to have any conditions with me? "

"This subordinate would not dare!" Ge Hua Qing hurriedly kowtowed to the ground.

"Crown Prince, please forgive him for his innocence. We are still waiting for his explanation!" After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan decided not to address the pavilion master directly. Otherwise, he would have to stir up some trouble once more!

"Shut up!" Wu Weidao glared at him coldly for a while, which scared him so much that he quickly covered his mouth with his hands. Then, he turned to Ge Huajing and said, "Then I will let you know that I am innocent!"

"Thank you, Crown Prince!" Ge Hua Qing raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly spoke the truth.

It turned out that back then, he was dissatisfied with the defeat of King Wu and was extremely disgusted with the crown prince's cowardice, so he wanted to rely on his own strength to rise again. However, the crown prince believed in the matter of martyrdom, so he insanely and foolishly lured those loyal generals into dying, and even the coffin was prepared for him.

Sima Xian knew this, so he secretly kept a hand on the coffin maker and secretly made a bag for him. He used a wooden coffin to paint the outside with stone powder, filling up the sarcophagus and actually managed to get away with it under the cover of darkness.

Once the dust settled, he would break through the coffin and escape the Ghost Tomb, and then with his familiarity with this underground palace, it would be easy for him to escape. However, he did not expect that it would be such a perfect plan, the crown prince was afraid that his subordinates would not be willing to die, so he poisoned the decapitated wine, and this was exactly where Sima Xian did not expect it!

Just as he was about to break the coffin and escape the Ghost Tomb, the poison started to act up, the heart-wrenching pain caused him to be completely exhausted, and he did not have the strength to break out of the coffin. Furthermore, the poison had a special characteristic, it was able to block people's consciousness, and cause them to temporarily forget about the pain in their bodies and the obsession in their hearts.

After all, the Crown Prince thought that since everyone was dead, they should not carry the burden of revenge on the road anymore. Of course, he didn't want these people to remember that he was the one who lured them to death!

This was supposed to be a pleasant death, but Sima Xian Li didn't want to die that easily. Not only did he not forget about the poison, he even remembered it clearly!

In his panic, he suddenly remembered that there were two bottles of powder hidden in his sleeve. One of them was the antidote for the poison, and he tried to take it, but he didn't expect to find the other bottle, which he had been searching for so hard for Wu Wang and the crown prince.

Perhaps, for the Crown Prince, death was a form of release, and if he died, he would be turned into rotted earth. If he left behind a broken body to pass on his legacy, he would only be ridiculed by his descendants.

As such, the medicinal herbs that should have been used on the crown prince were ultimately not used on him. Instead, it was used on Wu Wang.

It was precisely this medicine that finally failed to save Sima Xian's life and instead turned him into a thousand year old ancient corpse!

Coincidentally, the effects of the poison also happened at the same time that the strange medicine was taking effect, so the obsession that was lingering in Sima Xian's heart was firmly engraved in his mind. It would last for a thousand years if it was locked inside his body!

Then, Ge Hua-Qing and his men broke apart his coffin, and the violent sound caused that obsession to surge back and forth in his body, almost breaking through his body and coming out. But then, Ge Hua-Qing touched his body out of curiosity, and that obsession took advantage of that opportunity to slip into his mind, and thus completely take control of him!

This was an extremely bizarre thing, but all of these coincidences happened in a bizarre manner. However, the people involved were kept in the dark, which was why there were those inexplicable strange conflicts and misunderstandings!

Wu Weidao heard this and could not help but sigh. He tried asking, "So you're really not a ghost?"
