Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 125 The Past of Duan Yun

Become!

Mengli was overjoyed.

Once one chain breaks, it's not difficult to cut the others as well.

But at that moment...

On the broken chain, countless runes seemed to flow away from the chain like water, transforming into a phantom human figure.

"Since you remain obstinate, fellow Daoist, then don't blame the Heavenly Court for being ruthless. I invite you to the Execution Platform."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory image shattered and suddenly transformed into a symbol that floated towards Meng Li, seemingly trying to enter his body.

But looking at the runes in front of him, moving at the same speed as an old man strolling, Meng Li fell silent.

In fact, he could guess that when the spiritual energy was abundant, the chains would not only be protected by runes but also be difficult to break. Even if they did break, they would probably be detected instantly by the so-called Heavenly Court.

These runes are most likely something like tracking marks; once imprinted, there is nowhere to hide, neither in heaven nor on earth.

But here is the problem.

There's no spiritual energy left.

Although it's unknown how the forger of these chains managed to keep the runes functioning even after the spiritual energy dissipated.

But it is clear that spiritual energy has a significant influence on it.

At its speed, if Meng Li were to teleport twice, it would probably never catch up to him in its lifetime.

Somewhat comically, Meng Li was about to raise her hand and smash it.

But at that moment, the system voice, which had been silent all day, suddenly sounded for the second time today.

"A tracking mark has been detected. You can spend 100,000 points to change its sensing direction, allowing the owner to sense the location of the rune creator."

Upon hearing the system's words, Meng Li did not hesitate.

"Change."

As the command was issued and the system successfully modified, he took the rune into his hand.

As it slowly disappeared beneath his skin, Meng Li could sense that he could detect the location of a certain entity through this rune.

Of course, it's probably because the two sides are no longer from the same world. When he sensed it now, there was only emptiness, and he couldn't track the other party's location.

Although it's unknown what role this rune will play later.

But as I said before, it's only a hundred thousand points; that's how capricious you can be when you're rich.

Everything that just happened seemed to happen very slowly, but only a few minutes had passed.

At this moment, Duan Yun looked at him, her face filled with undisguised gratitude.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Even though Meng Li was extremely thick-skinned, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable in the face of her gratitude. After all, she had signed a contract of servitude and was already his private property. How could he not save her?

Now, let's move on to the next one.

Having learned from the first experience, the two worked together much more smoothly. Accompanied by the clanging of metal, in less than half an hour, all five chains on his body were broken.

"It's a pity we can't take it."

As the runes on the last chain dissipated and its black material turned into pure Netherworld Qi and was absorbed by Duan Yun, Meng Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This is good stuff.

If used properly, it can definitely restrain a B-level or even A-level enemy for a short period of time.

Unfortunately, each chain is a single unit; once it breaks, just like Meng Li's small seal, the entire chain becomes ineffective.

When the chains were completely removed, there was no trace of madness in Duan Yun's eyes.

After absorbing the Netherworld energy from the broken chains, her aura surged, even making Meng Li feel a sense of danger.

Moreover, her aura continued to rise.

"Is she about to break through to A-level?"

Meng Li was overjoyed.

If Duan Yun can break through to A-level, his chances of facing the Undead King will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Duan Yun's aura suddenly stopped after reaching a certain point.

Although he was much stronger than Meng Li at this time, he had definitely not crossed the B-level boundary.

After pushing it to its limit.

Her body gradually shrank until she was no different from an ordinary person.

When she was first seen, Meng Li only thought that she was fairly pretty; as for anything else, he didn't notice anything else.

As the other person approached, Meng Li noticed that after losing some of her hostility, her face became gentle and graceful, exuding the unique poise of a woman from Jiangnan.

"Thank you, Master, for helping me escape this predicament. I have no way to repay you. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, until death do us part."

Unlike her previous words, she now appeared to be acting like an ordinary person, only her speaking style seemed out of place in modern times.

"No need for such formalities."

Meng Li did not stand on ceremony.

As a kind and helpful person, this is what he should do.

Apart from Duan Yun, who was sealed away, there was nothing else at the bottom of the Yellow Springs.

Now that the person had been rescued, Meng Li naturally proceeded with the original plan to the location of the demigod king.

Meanwhile, Duan Yun had already gone to rest in his world fragment. He could simply wake Meng Li up when she needed to fight.

Of course, Meng Li talked to her quite a bit before they went in.

After all, he was quite interested in the so-called ancient times of this world, especially the so-called Heavenly Court of the being known as the Heavenly Lord.

Unfortunately, he couldn't control Duan Yun and therefore couldn't directly read her memories, so he could only have her dictate them.

According to her, she didn't know much, but even so, she uncovered a corner of the world's past secrets, allowing Meng Li to glimpse some of the world's former glory.

Time is obscured by water; it's been countless years since then.

According to Duan Yun, she was originally just a daughter of a wealthy merchant, but unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. Due to a series of unfortunate events, her father died tragically, and she was sold to someone else as a wife.

But the misfortune did not leave. Her husband died tragically shortly after buying her, leaving her and her mother-in-law to depend on each other. Later, she was coveted by someone, and although she managed to escape through her wits, she was framed and sent to the execution ground.

On the day of the execution, snow fell in June.

You have to understand, there was spiritual energy back then. Even when there was no spiritual energy, ghosts could rely on the energy of the underworld to transform into vengeful spirits, let alone back then.

After her death, due to immense resentment and unwillingness, she actually reached the level of a fierce god that even immortals feared in one step. She was just one step away from becoming a ghost emperor who wreaked havoc on the world.

Just then, people from the Heavenly Court arrived.

It was as if it had been prepared all along.

Several celestial beings attacked her. Despite her power, she was caught off guard because she had just transformed. It was they who used five Immortal Binding Locks to bind her to the underworld and make her suffer.

Among these immortals, the leader was the so-called Lord of Heavenly Play.

He is one of the Four Emperors of Heaven.

Of course, Duan Yun did not know what level the Four Emperors were, only that they held a very high position.

When she was taken to the underworld, she learned from the casual conversations of these immortals on the road that her injustice was not her own doing, but was entirely due to the schemes of the Heavenly Lord.
