Thoughts began to intertwine infinitely at this moment.
Scenes from the past, related to this main storyline and various side quests, flashed through his mind...
However, no matter what, the ultimate conclusion of these quests always led back to the Otherworldly Race. The invasion war of the Otherworldly Race a thousand years ago seemed to have been erased without a trace, yet some minor details hidden in various corners ultimately preserved the truth of the entire event.
Still, within Yi Tianchen, there remained some confusion.
Whether from the mouth of Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss or Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn from Maple Village, Yi Tianchen had received a clear answer: in that battle against the Otherworldly Race a thousand years ago, it was not the human race that charged to the front and suffered the heaviest losses, but rather the Undead.
Yet...
Despite this undeniable truth, Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss had reacted extremely intensely. What could possibly cause such a reaction from him regarding an event that had long been defined over a millennium ago?
There must be an unknown layer of intrigue behind this!
"Leave!" After a long silence, Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss seemed to gradually calm down. The swirling crimson light dissipated, and his anger and hatred began to ease. He turned away, no longer paying attention to the astonishment of Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan, and prepared to step inside.
"The entrance to the Land of Souls is beneath this stone tower, isn't it?"
Yi Tianchen's voice echoed lightly through the forest. Though it sounded soft, it carried immense weight, shaking not only Liu Yuhan beside him but also causing a slight tremor in the towering figure of Hell Swordsman · Azure Abyss, who had just taken a step forward. For a moment, aside from the sound of the wind, there was an eerie silence akin to that of a grave.
"Tianchen..."
Awakened from her shock, Liu Yuhan couldn't help but look at Yi Tianchen, her bright eyes reflecting a hint of surprise!
Yi Tianchen merely smiled lightly...
"You once told me that the Hell Swordsman is the guardian of the Land of Souls. Just today at noon, Blood Phantom Alliance Leader Sheryl also mentioned to me that the Land of Souls is not only where the Hell Swordsman was born but also a place they dedicate their lives to protect."
"Go on..."
After a brief pause, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss seemed to have resigned himself to the situation. Yi Tianchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this seemed to confirm his suspicions. He continued, "I remember the first time I came here, I happened to witness your duel with Light Swordsman Luo En. When I was leaving, I asked you a question: weren't you afraid of being discovered by those from the Light faction while staying here?"
"That's right!"
"You replied that you had inscribed hidden magical runes atop this stone tower to conceal your Undead aura. However, after our confrontation during the final trial, I can be certain that you do not possess any magic from the Magic faction, let alone the ability to inscribe such complex and profound concealment magic."
"What does that prove?"
"Indeed, it doesn't prove anything. So at that time, I wasn't surprised by it. It was only after hearing Shiriel, the Alliance Leader, speak about the relationship between Hell Swordsman and the Land of Souls that I suddenly realized these so-called concealment magical inscriptions were not inscribed by you at all; they have existed since ancient times, meant to hide the entrance to the Land of Souls."
"This is also why you are unwilling to leave here!"
"Heh heh..."
With a light chuckle, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss slowly turned around, an overwhelming aura emanating from him as he fixed his gaze on his direct disciple. "Are you so sure your guess is correct?"
"Your actions have already provided the answer!"
Yi Tianchen's eyes were stern, though he couldn't help but feel a wave of shock within. His conclusions were indeed mere speculation, but Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss's reactions and behavior had already confirmed his suspicions to some extent.
"You are not wrong..."
After a long sigh, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss finally acknowledged Yi Tianchen's guess and said calmly, "This Magic Stone Tower is actually a massive spatial magic array. Through it, one can tear apart the mysterious space and enter one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands: the Land of Souls!"
As expected, everything was just as Yi Tianchen had anticipated!
However, confirming this raised another question. As Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss's disciple, Yi Tianchen was also a Hell Swordsman. Since the Land of Souls was the birthplace of Hell Swordsmen and a place they should protect, why did Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss repeatedly conceal its entrance?
It was clear that the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, did not want Yi Tianchen to go to that place!
As for the reason behind this, Yi Tianchen could rack his brain and still not come up with an answer. However, one thing was certain: the hidden secret must be closely related to the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss. Coupled with the soul of Imperial Princess Elena, could it be that the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, did not want Yi Tianchen to enter the Land of Souls simply to prevent him from encountering the soul of Imperial Princess Elena?
"Actually, you have always known that the soul of Imperial Princess Elena is in the Land of Souls, right?"
Yi Tianchen voiced his doubts. At this point, the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, no longer spoke in riddles but stated directly, "That's right. A thousand years ago, Guardian General Amucha of the Human Empire found me and, with my help, sent the soul of Imperial Princess Elena into the Land of Souls."
"…"
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan exchanged glances, and another wave of confusion arose!
Since the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, had actively assisted humanity a thousand years ago in sending the soul of Imperial Princess Elena into the Land of Souls and had used the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array to ensure its continuation until now, why would he obstruct Yi Tianchen's quest for the soul of Imperial Princess Elena today?
"We came here precisely for the soul of Imperial Princess Elena…"
Just as Yi Tianchen began to speak, he suddenly swallowed his words. At that moment, the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, erupted with a powerful killing intent. The heavy sword in his hand was already slightly raised, a glaring blood light shimmering on its blade: "Unless you step over my dead body!"
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but freeze for a moment; a pang of anguish surged within him!
Clearly, this time the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, was not joking with Yi Tianchen; it was a true life-and-death confrontation.
