Chapter 1696 Playing the Divergent Card

Shinra's self-destruction...for some unknown reason, failed!

But he dared not let his people go forward to investigate. What if it was just temporarily not an explosion? Wouldn't they be sending themselves to their deaths if they went back?

"Damn it... If you kill me, you won't live either!" When Senluo fell to the ground, his body was riddled with holes.

He was kicked around in the air like a ball by the clone, his whole body swollen, bleeding and oozing pus, making it impossible to see his original appearance.

"Oh, then tell me, why can't I survive?" The clone looked at him with a half-smile.

Senluo sneered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "The Elf race is united against external forces. From the moment you stepped into the Elf Realm, it was destined that you would not leave alive!"

“Only I can help you,” Senluo said. “I know an excellent escape route. As long as you let me go, I can take you with me. Thanks to you, I can no longer survive in the elven world, so you don’t have to worry about me lying to you.”

"Because lying to you would do me no good."

The clone remained unmoved: "Well said, don't say it again next time."

She stepped forward, intending to crush Senro's head.

After all, this guy had just tried to kill her.

"You still want to kill me? I'm telling the truth, you won't survive even if you kill me! Only if we cooperate can we have any hope of survival!" Senluo shouted in panic as he crawled backward.

He was too scared.

The clone's killing intent was almost tangible, making him tremble with fear!

How could anyone unleash such murderous intent!

She's hiding her presence!

This led him to mistakenly believe that she was weak, and before he died, he wanted to drag her down with him. As a result, he offended the wrong person!

Senluo would rather face the elven law enforcement officers than a terrifying monster like his clone.

"What makes you think I need trash like you to cooperate with me?" The clone gently squeezed its hand. Senluo's head immediately exploded, blood and brain matter splattering out, tracing several parabolic arcs in the air before silently scattering to the ground.

When the Elf King arrived with his elite elven warriors, he witnessed this bloody scene.

The elite soldiers were all dumbfounded.

It's unimaginable that such a stunningly beautiful woman could be so cruel and brutal when killing! She even splattered someone's brains out!

"Did you stop Senluo's self-destruction?" The Elf King's deep gaze fell on the clone, and he asked with certainty.

"Ah."

Since the clone killed Senro in order to protect himself, the Elf King didn't say anything.

"How do you know that Senro would target Olena?" he asked again.

"It was a guess." The clone was indeed guessing.

As Senro and Qian walked out, Olena followed closely behind. Her sixth sense told her that something big was about to happen, and it was going to be very bad.

A kind word of advice might ease the awkward atmosphere with the elves.

Sure enough, the Elf King's attitude towards her has changed.

Orles, on the other hand, treated her as an honored guest.

The clone's answer left the Elf King speechless.

"You have already witnessed the effects of the True Word Pill. Now, may it be given to Hua Ling?" Upon returning to the Elven Palace, the clone handed the True Word Pill to Hua Ling.

The Elf King nodded in tacit approval.

Seeing that Hua Ling had taken the elixir.

The elves couldn't help but ask, "Flower Spirit, was that foreign race brought there by some means?"

"No," Hua Ling answered truthfully.

But her answer drew the ire of many elves: "You're talking nonsense! This Truth Pill is fake!"

"So many people saw it; she was the one who brought the outsiders there. How could it be fake? Well! Did you, human, plan this all along, colluding with Hua Ling to deceive us using fake Truth Pills?"

"Quiet." The Elf King's voice was calm and resonant, touching the hearts of everyone present.

The hall immediately became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“To prove whether the Mantra Pill is effective is simple,” Orles stepped forward. “Just ask her another question.”

He exchanged a glance with his clone.

The clone knew that Orles was helping her.

She is someone who knows how to be grateful.

"Hua Ling, what is the most regrettable thing you've ever done in your life?"

sound off.

Hua Ling's face contorted in pain, tears streaming down her face: "The thing I regret most is not fighting to the death to kill that outsider back then!"

This matter had been weighing on her heart for years, and had become a thorn in her side, tormenting her constantly!

"But that doesn't prove whether the True Word Pill is effective or not." Some voices still disagreed.

"Whether it's effective or not, you'll know once you take one," Aurelius said coldly.

The strange sounds disappeared instantly.

Ores's status among the elves was second only to the Elf King, and no elf was foolish enough to offend him.

"Flower Spirit, what is the truth of what happened back then?" another elf asked.

“I was kidnapped by that foreigner. His intention was to take me to a secluded place and... but that place happened to be where his people were hiding. I was carried on his shoulders. I didn't know, I really didn't know…”

Hua Ling could finally speak openly and honestly what she had kept hidden deep in her heart for many years.

After hearing her story, everyone fell silent.

Is the truth really this cruel? Hua Ling is also a victim.

"I remember that among those who died, there were also Hua Ling's parents and relatives."

I don’t know who said it.

"Therefore, regardless of whether she has the Truth Pill or not, Hua Ling will not be a traitor!"

“We old folks watched her grow up. We all remember how filial she was. Hua Ling couldn’t possibly be a traitor!”

In an instant, they all turned against each other.

Hua Ling cried even more uncontrollably.

The truth was so close, yet it took the elves so many years to reach it.

Is it that they can't, or that they don't want to?

"But has anyone thought about this? When Hua Ling was held hostage by that outsider, she didn't hesitate to betray her parents, relatives, and even us, her people, just to save her own life?"

Orles looked at the person who had spoken, then darted over and pulled him out.

"Weren't you the one who was contradicting me just now? Why did you do that?"

The one who was caught was an extremely handsome male elf. Judging by his appearance alone, one would think he was harmless.

Who would have thought that beneath that beautiful exterior lay a wicked heart?

"I'm just giving an example! I can't rule out that possibility!" The male elf showed no fear despite being stared at by so many people.

Hua Ling wiped away her tears and stared blankly at the male elf.

so familiar...

But she couldn't remember who he was.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Hua Ling? That shouldn't be the case. Under the effect of the Truth Pill, you should be able to answer any question. Or perhaps the Truth Pill you took was fake!"

Seeing the male elf's arrogant demeanor, Hua Ling's memories instantly became clear.

She remembered!

he is……
