Chapter 495: The Destined Ending
Yun State, Anhua City
Despite being suppressed to the peak of the seventh rank, the Jiujie Divine Silkworm is still stronger than Cao Ying. Even Cao Ying, trying her best, couldn’t kill it; instead, she was suppressed.
However, the Jiujie Divine Silkworm didn’t intend to kill Cao Ying. It was planning to break through and escape immediately from Yun State to survive.
Therefore, the Jiujie Divine Silkworm is currently divided in three parts: one fighting Cao Ying, one suppressing Lin Die’s consciousness, and one searching for the weak spot in the Dutian Formation.
"Lin Die, it’s time to make a choice, isn’t it?"
Cao Ying couldn’t defeat Jiujie Divine Silkworm and shouted at Lin Die.
Lin Die is a crucial card in Lin Jiang’s plan. If she can’t be used, many people will die in this battle.
"Lin Die, don’t believe her. Even if you self-destruct, I won’t die. I will destroy the Lin family. If you don’t self-destruct, I swear a Heart Demon Oath that I won’t harm the Lin family."
Jiujie Divine Silkworm became anxious, fearing the worst – Lin Die’s self-destructive intentions.
"Lin Die, can you trust Jiujie Divine Silkworm’s words? Should we trust ourselves or trust it? It has already reached the Disaster Crossing Period, so the Heart Demon Oath is ineffective against it."
"Lin Die, do you remember the promise made a hundred years ago? Those words were not just to deceive Jiujie Divine Silkworm. If it doesn’t die, the Lin family will be destroyed."
Cao Ying continued to persuade Lin Die that Jiujie Divine Silkworm’s words were not trustworthy.
"Third Sister, Cao Ying is right. The words spoken a hundred years ago came from my heart. If we don’t kill Jiujie Divine Silkworm, not only will the Lin family perish, but the entire world will be destroyed by her. Its ninth calamity will be a world-ending one."
Lin Jiang also spoke outside, which made Jiujie Divine Silkworm’s face change drastically and anger surged in her heart. Now she understood she had been deceived.
Deceived from the start, not only by Lin Jiang, but also by that darned Xia Qingshan.
"Lin Jiang, you scoundrel, you deserve to die!"
Jiujie Divine Silkworm roared, feeling so miserably deceived. Those darn humans, they all deserve death.
"Third Sister, if you don’t make a sacrifice, the Lin family will be in danger. In fifteen minutes, all the Soul Changing cultivators of the Lin Family will have to join the battle."
Lin Jiang escalated again. If Lin Die doesn’t self-destruct, Lin Jiang will mobilize all the Lin family experts into battle. Many people may die, there’s no other way, Jiujie Divine Silkworm must be killed.
If it’s not killed, Jiujie Divine Silkworm will definitely face the ninth catastrophe. With its strength, no one in the cultivation world can stop it now. Once free, it has the ability to kill all cultivators. With its hatred for Yun State, Yun State will definitely be destroyed completely, not even leaving a single blade of grass behind, everyone will be in danger.
"All Soul Changing disciples of the Lin family, gather and prepare for battle."
"Today’s battle is for the safety of the entire Lin family. We fight to the end, the sixth son of the Lin family, Lin Jiang, leads the first battle."
Lin Jiang turned around and told the Lin family leaders that this battle was a fight for survival. He would lead the charge and be the first to enter the battle formation.
The leaders of the Lin family had calmed down from their shock and, after looking at Lin Ying and each other, many stood silently together, preparing to join the battle.
Lin Die’s consciousness witnessed everything and felt immense pain in her heart, but she silently agreed.
"No…"
Jiujie Divine Silkworm noticed what Lin Die was about to do and exclaimed in surprise. It could restrain Lin Die, but when she self-destructed, it was powerless.
"Boom"
Lin Die’s consciousness self-destructed, causing severe damage to her body. Not only did her body in combat come to a halt, but it also suffered serious injuries. The next to be affected was Jiujie Divine Silkworm’s soul. Despite Lin Die only having Soul Changing cultivation (soul power), she couldn’t defend against this self-destruct and had to endure the instant heavy blow.
"Puff"
Seizing this opportunity, Cao Ying’s sword pierced through Lin Die’s body.
"Divine Silkworm transforms into a butterfly, creating a cocoon."
Injured Jiujie Divine Silkworm didn’t fight back before dying. Instead, it used a self-protection technique. Countless threads emerged from Lin Die’s body, wrapping around her and forming a huge cocoon in an instant.
Cao Ying tried to pierce it with two swords, but failed.
Lin Jiang walked into the formation and looked at the cocoon, feeling a headache coming on.
"Little Ying, is there no way?"
"We can’t break through it for now, but it has lost its ability to resist. Let’s finish it off."
Cao Ying shook her head. The cocoon was too thick, and she couldn’t find a way to deal with it at the moment.
"Find a way to kill it. It must die."
Lin Jiang nodded, dismissed the onlookers, picked up the cocoon, and left.
·······
"Trying to cut with a knife or an axe, or using extreme heat or extreme cold, all have been tried, but it didn’t work."
Inside the Lin family gate, Cao Ying said to Lin Jiang that they tried all known methods, including putting the cocoon in a storage bag, but the cocoon remained unharmed even when the bag exploded.
"There must be a solution, we just haven’t found it yet. Let’s keep looking until we find a way to solve this."
Lin Jiang insisted that they couldn’t possibly fail to handle even a single cocoon, it was absolutely impossible.
"Give me this cocoon, and you go check on sister Lin Ying. Her expression doesn’t look too good."
"Alright, I’ll go check on her."
Lin Jiang nodded, he had actually already noticed.
A century ago, when Lin Ying firmly opposed deceiving the Jiujie Divine Silkworm, she even gave Lin Jiang a beating. But gradually, Lin Ying’s anger subsided, and most importantly, Lin Die didn’t die at that time, there was still a long time left in a hundred years.
But now that she saw Lin Jiang forcing Lin Die to confess in front of her own eyes, the impact on Lin Ying was too great.
"Little Ying, it’s me, open the door."
When they arrived at the entrance of Lin Ying’s cave, Lin Jiang didn’t go in.
"Brother, brother, Little Ying said I can’t open the door for you."
Big Shadiao peeked out and said to Lin Jiang.
"Lin Yu, help me open the door."
Lin Jiang was a bit speechless towards Big Shadiao. "Can’t you just quietly open the door?"
"No, Little Ying said I can’t eat her food, drink her drinks, live in her place, or pick her flowers without listening to her."
"Big Shadiao, I’ve been taking care of you for several hundred years, and in several major battles, I’ve been the one to keep you safe, or else you would have perished long ago."
Lin Jiang was very angry. Didn’t he raise Small Shadiao? And during the demon invasion, it was Lin Jiang who forced Big Shadiao to stay, or else Big Shadiao would probably have been killed in battle.
"That’s right, so what should I do?"
Big Shadiao scratched his head, unsure of what to do.
"Come out first, I have something to tell you."
Lin Jiang waved to Big Shadiao, who then came out, allowing Lin Jiang to enter immediately.
"Cao Ying, it’s me…"
They entered the cave and found Lin Ying hiding in a room with a protective barrier.
"Brother, please leave. I don’t want to see you right now."
"I just want to talk to you."
"No, I don’t want to talk."
"Little Ying, we are not kids anymore. About Third Sister…"
"Don’t say, don’t say…"
Lin Ying in the room immediately screamed, and Lin Jiang quietly closed his mouth.
After a long time, Lin Jiang finally said. Little Bird, I won’t explain this matter, explaining is useless. Just calm down for a while. I’ll come see you later.
After saying that, Lin Jiang left Lin Ying’s cave. Big Shadiao returned to Lin Ying’s room and saw Lin Ying in tears.
"Lin Yu, sob…"
Lin Ying saw Big Shadiao and hugged it, crying bitterly.
She knew she was not a child anymore. Lin Jiang had explained things clearly. She was not unreasonable, but even though she understood logically, it was still hard for her to accept when it happened to her. She felt very sad, extremely sad.
Her closest Third Sister had died, forced to commit suicide by her own older brother. It was something she couldn’t bear.
