Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#674 - The Suzaku warrior is actually a reincarnation

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Meiying's eyes reddened, and she became even more agitated: "Do you all want to use me? Let me tell you, no one can use me! I would rather die than submit!

From the moment I was born, my fate seemed predetermined. I was destined to be someone else's pawn, plaything, and stepping stone.

I cannot fight against the Heavenly Dao, I cannot defy the heavens, but I can at least decide my own life and death!"

Her words revealed a sense of determination and helplessness, but even more so, a yearning for freedom and a resistance against fate.

Li Chengfeng smiled gently and said, "You are a clever woman. It's just a pity that fate has placed you in such an environment, surrounded by ruthless people.

Your master, Lou Xueyun, is unparalleled in wisdom and skilled in conspiracies. He is indeed a difficult opponent. As for Xue Qiankun, although he appears crude, he is actually quite cunning. Compared to Lou Xueyun, he is slightly inferior, but he is by no means ordinary.

Growing up in such an environment, it's understandable that your thinking is somewhat biased."

He paused, his tone becoming more sincere: "But I want to tell you that this world is not entirely filled with calculations.

Sometimes, cooperation can lead to a win-win situation, far better than fighting alone.

You might want to inquire. Has anyone who has cooperated with me, Li Chengfeng, not reaped great rewards and obtained immense benefits?"

Zhongli Meiying nodded slightly upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashing in her eyes: "You're right. I have indeed studied a lot of your information. To defeat an opponent, you must first understand them.

I have found that those who have cooperated with you have invariably gained enormous benefits."

She changed the subject, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and wariness: "So, you mean you want to cooperate with me to deal with the Blood Clan, to have me lend you a hand?

But why should I trust you? And what benefits can you give me?"

Li Chengfeng's smile carried a hint of calmness and profundity, yet it contained a shocking power: "You may think that you have little value to me, and you may even think that I would be reserved in cooperating with you.

But in fact, I am saving you not because of your current abilities or contributions, but because of your identity—the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Divine Generals under Ancestor Qing Ning. This glory and responsibility are inherent to you."

His words were like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering all of Zhongli Meiying's guesses and doubts.

Her mind was buzzing, as if countless thoughts were colliding at the same time. She never dreamed that Li Chengfeng would so directly reveal the secret of her background, let alone that he would value this connection so much.

"I... I am the Vermilion Bird?" Zhongli Meiying's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

She had thought that Li Chengfeng would reject her request, or at least propose some conditions in exchange, but she never expected him to tell her this shocking secret so candidly.

"Yes, you are the Vermilion Bird," Li Chengfeng affirmed with a nod. "And I, as a disciple of Ancestor Qing Ning, naturally have a deep connection with you.

I am saving you not only because of this connection, but also because I believe that once you regain your strength, you will become a powerful force in our fight against the evil forces of the North Sea.

At the same time, your awakening will also help us unravel the mysteries of the Vermilion Bird's old guard, bringing the truth to light."

Zhongli Meiying's words carried a complex emotion of disbelief, as if Li Chengfeng's words had touched the most incredible chord in her heart. "Li Chengfeng, are you trying to fool me? How is this possible?"

Her voice trembled slightly, obviously unable to accept this sudden information. "Ancestor Qing Ning, that is an supreme being of ten thousand years, and I am just an insignificant small character. How can this age and this identity match up?"

Li Chengfeng quietly looked at her, his deep eyes seeming to see through all secrets.

He slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and powerful: "If it were before, when my strength was low, I could say that I racked my brains and used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to survive.

But now, do I have this need? Killing you is as simple as picking something out of a bag. Using some small tricks is completely unnecessary for me."

Zhongli Meiying pondered, Li Chengfeng's words echoing in her heart. She had to admit that the current Li Chengfeng had indeed grown so strong that he could easily defeat her without using any conspiracies.

Recalling the past, Li Chengfeng was just a small character. In order to escape her pursuit, he had to flee everywhere, using various schemes, even destroying a city to create chaos. Even she admired that ruthlessness and courage.

Now, Li Chengfeng has grown up, his strength far above hers. Given time, he might even reach the realm of a Half-Step God Transformation.

At that time, not to mention the Blood Clan and the North Sea, who in the entire human realm could be his opponent?

Thinking of this, a strange emotion surged in Zhongli Meiying's heart, both awe for Li Chengfeng's strength and anticipation for her own future.

Seeing this, Li Chengfeng immediately took out the Reincarnation Disk and said to her, "I will now awaken you and restore your past memories. Then you will remember everything from before. At that time, you will be able to tell whether what I said is true or false."

As his voice fell, Li Chengfeng's Reincarnation Disk burst out with six brilliant rays of light, enveloping Zhongli Meiying completely.

Under the illumination of this light, Zhongli Meiying's mind began to show the scenes of her reincarnations. Those memories were like the images in a memory orb, constantly changing and flashing, allowing her to deeply understand them.

At this moment, she seemed to travel through time and space, personally experiencing her life and death in each of her lives, and also seeing the deep connection between herself and Ancestor Qing Ning and the Vermilion Bird General.

She finally understood why she became the inheritor of the Vermilion Bird, and why she possessed this extraordinary power.

As her memories gradually returned, Zhongli Meiying felt a sense of relief surge into her heart.

The power within her body also burst out, a unique power belonging to the reincarnator, which made Li Chengfeng feel incredible.

He was surprised to find that the first general under Ancestor Qing Ning, the Vermilion Bird, was actually a reincarnator, and came from the Spirit Realm.

This made him wonder, why would a reincarnator help Ancestor Qing Ning and become her Vermilion Bird General?

This mystery kept flashing in Li Chengfeng's mind. He seemed to see a new world, a world full of unknowns and possibilities.

He realized that Ancestor Qing Ning was indeed not an ordinary person. He possessed wisdom and power beyond ordinary people.

However, Ancestor Qing Ning's mistake may have been that he was too kind.

If he could be more ruthless and decisive, then who in the world could be his opponent?

At this moment, Li Chengfeng had a deeper understanding of Ancestor Qing Ning.
