Zhu Zining nodded and said, "You could say that!"

"Emperors, it's like using another method to make themselves immortal."

"So, the so-called Land of Returning Souls is the mausoleum where the Emperor's will is sealed. As long as it's opened, there will be an emperor in the world of術道 (Shu Dao, arts and practices) who can command the three ominous stars."

I couldn't help but gasp, "So, that's how it is!"

"Then what means do you have to deal with me?"

Zhu Zining said, "I'll tell you that Jiang Chen and the others are about to open the Land of Returning Souls."

"Jiang Chen is the only one who can absorb the Emperor's will without being affected."

"Once he succeeds, there will be no more emperors in this world."

"Qu Mo is also blocking the return of the Holy Lord at the Yin Yang Inn. Without external help, Qu Mo and the Nine Ghosts together can't stop the Reincarnation Holy Lord. The final result is that Qu Mo and the Nine Ghosts will all die in battle, and the Holy Lord will return to the Heavenly Prison."

"You can only save one of them, what will you choose?"

Zhu Zining stared at me intently and said, "You don't care about righteousness, but Li Chunfeng cares, and Qu Mo cares. Even if you save them, they will blame themselves for losing the Emperor, and may even be devastated."

"Do you want to see such a result?"

"If you don't save them, you might be able to seize the Emperor's will."

"But their death will become your inner demon. The pain that should have belonged to Li Chunfeng and Qu Mo will be transferred to you. Can you bear it?"

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer Zhu Zining's question.

The greatest difficulty in life is not facing life and death, but facing choices.

From different perspectives, any choice makes sense, but no matter what choice you make, you can't have it both ways.

Even if you feel selfless at the time, one day, the regrets and pain caused by your choice will return to you, questioning you day and night: what would have happened if you had made a different choice?

There are people who can see through it, let it go, and not regret it, but there aren't many!

Most people will pay for their choices with the rest of their lives.

Zhu Zining said, "Now, I can tell you! In fact, there is a compromise between the two."

"Because the Emperor's Land of Returning Souls is in the Yin Yang Inn!"

Zero and I exchanged glances. Ye Yang also stepped on the brakes subconsciously and looked back at Zhu Zining.

Zhu Zining smiled and said, "Shocked, aren't you?"

"When I heard the news, I was even more shocked than you."

"The Yin Yang Inn is an independent space. It just so happens to be at the intersection of the Yang World, the Yin World, and the Realm of Gods and Ghosts."

"People who enter the Yin Yang Inn easily get lost in the inn. Without the innkeeper's permission, you can't get out even if you want to."

I stared at Zhu Zining and asked, "Who is the owner of the Yin Yang Inn?"

"I don't know!" Zhu Zining said, "No one has ever seen the owner of the Yin Yang Inn. We can't even figure out who he is. Any diviner who tries to deduce the innkeeper's fate ends up dying a violent death."

"Many people have seen the innkeeper, but so far, no one can really explain the innkeeper's origins."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the inn has had more than one owner."

I asked again, "Since you haven't been to the Yin Yang Inn, how can you be sure that the Emperor's will is in the inn?"

Zhu Zining smiled and said, "Do you think the Empress's departure was just accidental?"

"The Reincarnation Holy Lord was able to force the Emperor into reincarnation, so he must have paid attention to him. He buried the Emperor's will in the Yin Yang Inn, so naturally it couldn't escape our notice."

I tapped my fingers lightly and said, "Zhu Zining, your deception isn't very clever! Since Jiang Chen and the others are gathered at the Yin Yang Inn, why can my dad still enter and leave freely? Won't they fight each other?"

"Haha..." Zhu Zining laughed and said, "Little Li Po, you still haven't seen enough of the world."

"How big do you think the Yin Yang Inn is? How many people can it accommodate?"

"To tell you the truth, you can completely think of the Yin Yang Inn as an ancient secret realm that encompasses the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and has countless entrances."

"Li Chunfeng and Jiang Chen didn't go through the same entrance, so they naturally wouldn't meet."

"That's not right either! If they can all reach the center of the inn, they can naturally meet there."

"If you're quick enough, you might be able to buy time to save the other side no matter which side you go to first. But! This is also the greatest test of your skills."

I took a deep breath and said, "What exactly is the Reincarnation Holy Lord going to the Yin Yang Inn for? Don't tell me it's to return to the Heavenly Prison."

Zhu Zining smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know his true purpose! He kept emphasizing to me that he wanted to return to the Heavenly Prison from the Yin Yang Inn."

"If you want, you can really think of the Yin Yang Inn as the Land of Returning Souls for two great emperors."

"I've finished telling my news! Are you satisfied?"

I was silent for a moment and said, "Your news isn't enough to exchange for your life!"

Zhu Zining said, "Of course I'm not exchanging my own life. The person I want to exchange for is someone else. Tell me first, is this news valuable enough?"
