Chapter 498 Heart to Heart
"Would you like to come in and sit down? I need to check if there is any urgent news first."

Lin Changqiang looked beside him, and saw Ling Qingzhu, who was hesitating, nodded slightly. Then the two of them walked into the house one after another and closed the door.

After pulling out a chair for Ling Qingzhu and making a cup of tea, Lin Changqiang sat aside and checked what messages he had received during the time he was practicing. Fortunately, nothing urgent had happened. Apart from the letters from Gu Mengqi, Mu Lingshan and others, there was only one big event that happened in the Demon Realm.

Ever since Lin Dong and his men unified the Beast Battle Domain and established the Four Symbols Palace to defeat the Wushan Domain, more and more powerful people have joined this force with extraordinary potential. With Zhou Tong in charge and the background of the Dragon Clan and the Sky Demon Marten Clan, there will of course be no accidents, and everything is proceeding steadily and according to plan.

But not long after, the legendary Devouring Temple suddenly appeared out of thin air in the extreme northern area of ​​the Demon Realm.

The Devouring Temple was left behind by the Devouring Lord from ancient times. Naturally, countless people want to obtain the inheritance of this top-notch powerhouse. Therefore, in the endless demon realm, all the powerful races have sent teams to try to get a piece of the pie. There are both bad news and good news.

Bad news: With the four hegemonic clans and the eight royal clans all showing up, the power of the Four Symbols Palace pales in comparison.

Good news: Among the four hegemonic clans, only the Nine Phoenix Clan has a bad relationship with the Four Symbols Palace, and only those below the Reincarnation Realm can enter the Devouring Temple.

Seeing this, Lin Changqiang immediately rolled his eyes, put the message away and stopped checking it.

With Zhou Tong here, who can compete with him if he doesn't leave the Samsara Realm? I didn't expect that this guy has been lazy in practicing since he was rescued, but he always has miraculous effects.

As for the inheritance of the Devouring Lord, he was not very interested in it. After all, the main inheritance there was reserved for the new controller of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and the blood relatives of the Devouring Lord. In the secondary aspect of reincarnation comprehension, the Devouring Lord was not as good as the Ice Lord, not to mention the final aspect of energy. He had now passed the stage of energy shortage.

He sent out one message after another from his soul. After replying to the last one, he let out a long sigh and looked at Ling Qingzhu. At this time, Ling Qingzhu had finally made a decision, with a serious and earnest expression.

"Lance, I have something to tell you."

……

"She plans to sacrifice herself to help me become the ancestor?"

After hearing these words, Lin Changqiang was surprised, while Ling Qingzhu sighed and nodded slightly.

If the other party is willing to sacrifice his life for the people of the world, how can you sit back and enjoy the results with a clear conscience?
"Go find her. I came to Dao Zong this time just to see that you haven't replied to my letter. Since you are okay, I should go back to Taiqing Palace."

Ling Qingzhu's voice remained calm, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"Thank you." After the initial surprise, Lin Changqiang's expression was complicated.

Based on his understanding of Huanhuan's personality, he should have realized that something was wrong when he first saw the two girls getting along fairly well, but his brain was filled with sudden surprise.

Ling Qingzhu nodded lightly, walked out of the room slowly, and then turned into a stream of light and floated away. Lin Changqiang sat at the table in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He sighed, and he did not use the teleportation directly, but went out and flew towards the Heavenly Palace.

As he traveled through the huge Taoist sect, disciples passed by from time to time. They all greeted him with surprise and excitement. Lin Changqiang also tried his best to force a kind smile, but after the flight, his mood did ease a little.

Arriving above the familiar ice lake, he held his breath and looked down, only to see Ying Huanhuan lying on her side, curled up in the ice lotus in the center. Her ice-blue hair was draped over the lotus, and her dress was a gradient from white to ice-blue. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and not dusty. However, Lin Changqiang's sight was instantly attracted by the slightly furrowed brows and the sadness on her face.

“…I should have discovered it earlier.”

He took a deep breath and stopped holding back his breath. Noticing the movement in the sky, Ying Huanhuan on the Ice Lotus also became alert instantly. She opened her eyes and quickly stood up, but when she saw that it was Lin Changqiang, her originally solemn expression suddenly froze. "Longqiang?"

Lin Changqiang was delighted for a moment when he saw her, but his expression soon turned indifferent.

"Why are you looking for me instead of accompanying Ling Qingzhu? I have come all the way from Jiutian Taiqing Palace to Dao Sect to look for you."

She seemed to be trying her best to appear calm, but as she spoke her tone became less and less angry, her brows furrowed, and even her breathing quickened a little. Seeing her like this, Lin Changqiang felt more and more guilty.

"She told me everything."

After she finished speaking, looking at his complicated and apologetic expression, Ying Huanhuan's heart skipped a beat, but she still tried to remain calm.

"Tell? What did she tell you?"

"She told me that you planned to sacrifice yourself to help me become an ancestor."

Lin Changqiang blurted out the answer without any hesitation. Ying Huanhuan, who had been hoping for the best, suddenly opened her eyes wide and her heart started beating wildly. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was angry, surprised, flustered or delighted. She could only stand there and stare blankly. It took her a long time before she managed to force out a sentence.

“This is my mission…”

"nonsense!"

Lin Changqiang's eyes widened, and all the tactful persuasions he had prepared when he came here were thrown out of his mind. Just thinking about the scene of Ying Huanhuan disappearing in his arms, his heart was filled with fear.

"I know that you have faith in Fu Zu's judgment, and you also think that only by sacrificing yourself can the next ancestor realm appear in Tianxuan Continent. But there is one thing I must tell you. I, Lin Changqiang, am absolutely sure that I can advance to the ancestor realm. I don't need anyone's sacrifice, and I won't allow you to sacrifice!"

Hearing these monologues, Ying Huanhuan's heart felt like a deer beating in her chest, she was surprised and happy, but soon she felt sad, and finally a little relieved.

"No." She clenched her hands and raised her face, "Why should I believe that you can advance to the ancestral realm?"

As soon as the words fell, a bone-chilling chill suddenly spread out, and pieces of ice flowers appeared out of thin air and fell. The entire ice lake instantly turned into a world of ice and snow, and the vast waves on Ying Huanhuan's body were also swept along.

The realm of reincarnation.

"After the passing of Master, no one has a deeper understanding of this world than me."

Ying Huanhuan's voice was full of confidence, but soon, the scene before her left her dumbfounded.

Lin Changqiang suddenly took out an item with a strange and exquisite shape. The blue marble in the center of the item glowed with golden light. The next moment, colorful streams of light shot out from the muzzle and hit the two of them, turning into a circular colorful gate standing above the ice lake. On the opposite side of the gate was the vast starry sky.

"No one can compare to you in understanding this world, but what about other worlds?"
