Chapter 1255 — How to Have It Both Ways

Had I not given you that jade pendant, you would long since have been addled and dull-witted from the bewilderment of the womb—to say nothing of becoming the Bai Yuqiong of today, you could hardly have become even a wielder of divine powers. I too have the means to break the Yin Son of Heaven's reincarnation divine power outright, without your having to die even once, and so awaken the Vermilion Bird's soul within you; but I did not wish Bai Yuqiong to die just like that, and therefore sought out this method. " He halted, looked Bai Yuqiong straight in the eye, and said in a low voice, "If you cannot accept even this memory of mine, then I have nothing more to say. " Bai Yuqiong sensed the faint killing intent emanating from him. A moment ago Bai Yuqiong had let her killing intent show to declare her resolve; now Shen Mu let his killing intent show, likewise to declare his own resolve. If she did not agree, then Shen Mu would act at once, breaking outright the Yin Son of Heaven's divine power that entangled her soul, awakening the Southern Emperor's soul and restoring all her memories!

Bai Yuqiong hesitated; just as she was about to agree, a voice suddenly came, deep and weighty: "Yuqiong, the soul within you is the Southern Emperor's soul. The Yin Son of Heaven once reported this matter to me.

It was with great difficulty that I slew the Vermilion Bird, the Southern Emperor; I will never suffer the Southern Emperor to revive.

" Bai Yuqiong's body trembled slightly, and she bowed.

"I pay my respects to Heavenly Lord Fire! " Shen Mu turned, and was met by Heavenly Lord Fire's incomparably brilliant eyes!
