Chapter 490: A deep resentment hit Jiang Luo directly
Jiang Luo's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion. He stared at Liang in front of him, the one who had betrayed him.
Liang lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Master, I know that my sin is unforgivable. Back then, I was bewitched by Zhuo Erqun and betrayed you, committing an unforgivable mistake. Over the years, I have been imprisoned in this jade bottle, regretting day and night, and I only hope that one day I can atone for my sins to you."
Jiang Luo's gaze was still cold, but there was a hint of fluctuation in his eyes. He clenched the fragments of the jade bottle in his hand, and his fingertips turned slightly white.
"Atonement?" Jiang Luo sneered, "Do you think a word of regret can offset your betrayal back then? Do you know how many people lost their lives because of you? How much trust was completely shattered?"
Liang's body trembled slightly, his head drooped even lower, and his voice was hoarse: "I know... I have committed a serious sin. But I am willing to spend the rest of my life to make amends, even if it is only a trivial atonement."
Lu Qing stood aside, his eyes moving between the two of them, finally landing on Jiang Luo.
He patted Jiang Luo's shoulder gently and whispered, "Jiang Luo, betrayal is the most unforgivable mistake in this world. If he can betray you once, he will betray you a second time! However, I will still respect your choice."
Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, and the coldness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a trace of complex emotions. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Liang, I may not kill you, but I will not use you anymore. You are no longer a member of the demons and monsters. You can make a living outside or reincarnate. But if you dare to do evil again, I will kill you with my own hands."
Liang suddenly raised his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Jiang Luo and said, "Master, I know I am not worthy to return to you. But please rest assured, I will make you trust me again and will never do anything against my conscience again! At that time, I was really bewitched by Zhuo Erqun's evil magic..."
Jiang Luo waved his hand, and the coldness in his eyes eased a little. He turned around and looked at the ruins of the God's Realm that had completely collapsed in the distance, and whispered: "Go, I hope you can take care of yourself in the future."
Liang kowtowed to Jiang Luo again and disappeared into the realm of gods.
Lu Qing saw that Jiang Luo was in a bad mood, so he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad for an old subordinate who is not worth your sadness. We have more important things to do."
Jiang Luo regained his composure, nodded and said, "I understand, but... the main hall has collapsed, and we haven't found the Yan Gu Umbrella yet. Could it be destroyed by Zhuo Erqun? If it was destroyed, then my sister and my brother-in-law..."
Lu Qing frowned slightly, his eyes swept across the ruins around him, and he said thoughtfully: "Don't worry about it. The Yan Gu Umbrella is one of the most important magic weapons of the Zhuoer Group. He will not destroy it easily. Maybe... it is hidden in a secret place."
Jiang Luo nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, we must find it. The Yangu Umbrella is made of my sister's bones. She is kind by nature. If it falls into the hands of the bad guys, I don't know what kind of killing will be caused. This is definitely not what my sister and brother-in-law want to see."
Lu Qing gently patted Jiang Luo's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, we still have time. Since the main hall has collapsed, perhaps we can look for clues in the ruins."
Jiang Luo took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and nodded: "Okay, let's look for it carefully."
The two began to search carefully in the ruins, taking every step cautiously, for fear of missing any possible clues.
Broken stone pillars, collapsed walls, scattered fragments of magical instruments... every detail was carefully examined by them.
Just when they were about to give up, Jiang Luo's foot suddenly kicked a loose stone slab. He squatted down, gently pushed away the snow and gravel with his hands, and found a secret compartment hidden under the stone slab.
"Lu Qing, come and take a look!" Jiang Luo shouted in a low voice.
Lu Qing came over quickly, and the two of them worked together to lift the stone slab, revealing a dark hole. A cold breath faintly came from the hole, as if it led to an unknown abyss.
"This... seems to be a secret passage." Lu Qing said in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Jiang Luo nodded, and a soft light condensed in his palm, illuminating the scene inside the cave. The secret passage was narrow and deep, and the walls were engraved with ancient runes that emitted a faint light.
"Let's go down and take a look." Jiang Luo said with a hint of determination in his tone.
Lu Qing did not object, but just held Jiang Luo's hand tightly and whispered: "Be careful, I'll go ahead."
The two entered the secret passage one after the other and walked slowly down the narrow steps. The air in the secret passage was cold and damp. The runes around them flickered slightly with their footsteps, as if warning of something.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the secret passage finally reached the end. What appeared in front of them was a secret room. In the center of the secret room was a stone platform, and on the platform was an umbrella - it was the Yan Gu umbrella they had been looking for.
The entire body of the Yan Gu Umbrella is a strange dark red, and the ribs are engraved with complex runes. The umbrella surface emits a faint light, as if countless wronged souls are wailing inside.
Jiang Luo stared at the Yan Gu Umbrella, a complex emotion surged in his heart, his eyes instantly turned red, and he murmured in a low voice: "Finally found it...Sister, brother-in-law, is it you?"
Lu Qing nodded, his eyes solemn: "Be careful, the power of this umbrella is extraordinary. And I don't know if your sister and brother-in-law's souls have been forged by Zhuo Erqun. If they have been forged, they may not recognize you anymore."
Jiang Luo nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the stone platform.
Just as he reached out to pick up the Yan Gu Umbrella, the runes around the secret room suddenly lit up with dazzling light, and a powerful force surged from all directions, surrounding them.
"Oh no, it's a trap!" Lu Qing shouted, and quickly stood in front of Jiang Luo. A golden barrier condensed in his palm to resist the impact of that force.
Jiang Luo quickly took a few steps back and looked around vigilantly. Countless runes appeared on the walls of the secret room, as if they came alive and began to slowly rotate, forming a huge formation.
"This is the sealing formation left by Zhuo Erqun!" Jiang Luo whispered, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "We must break it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be trapped here!"
Lu Qing nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "I will block the power of the formation, you go find the center of the formation!"
Jiang Luo did not hesitate and quickly searched for the core of the formation in the secret room. His eyes swept across every rune and finally stopped on a dark red crystal under the stone platform.
"Found it!" Jiang Luo shouted softly, and a pure divine power condensed in his palm, directly hitting the crystal stone.
The crystal shattered instantly under the impact of the divine power, the runes in the secret room dimmed, and the power of the formation gradually dissipated.
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put away the barrier, and walked to Jiang Luo: "Well done."
Jiang Luo nodded and his eyes fell on the Yan Gu umbrella again.
This time, he reached out and picked it up without hesitation. The umbrella was cold to the touch, as if countless tiny tentacles were gently touching his skin, bringing a strange feeling.
But when Jiang Luo was about to take a closer look at the umbrella, the Yan Gu umbrella suddenly slipped away from his hand and opened up in the void in front of him, and a deep resentment hit Jiang Luo directly!
