Chapter 1762 Three Lives Well
When I looked down into the well, the water suddenly surged and rose rapidly.
At this rate, I could easily back away and avoid the impending surge of water.
However, I felt as if I were being sucked in by the well water, unable to take my eyes off it, unable to move my feet even half a step backward.
I watched as the well water reached the same level as the wellhead, and a human face slowly emerged from the water.
I felt as if I had seen this person somewhere before, but I couldn't remember who she was.
The next moment, the person suddenly stood up from the well and grabbed my neck with both hands.
As her fingers tightened, several more figures appeared behind her. A dozen people, one pressing down on the other, pinned me to the ground, and several ghostly claws reached out to grab me.
I finally saw the faces of some of them clearly. They were all people who had died at my hands.
They had returned from the well to seek revenge.
As I was struggling, Ye Yang's sword energy came from the air and shattered the ghostly figures pressing down on me.
I barely managed to stand up and shouted urgently at Ye Yang, "Don't come over here. We can't deal with this well."
A warlock's karma is often more intense than that of ordinary people. Once it comes knocking, there's no escaping it.
Ye Yang had killed more people than I had.
If he came over, we would both be trapped in this well.
I tried to take a step back, but my feet seemed to be welded to the ground, unable to move at all.
Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "Don't move. I'll help you sever the karma."
Ye Yang's Cold Flame wasn't here. What could he use to sever my karma?
Just as I was about to stop him, I heard the sound of wheels moving on the ground, and someone said, "Karma cannot be severed. Even if you sever the karma in this life, he will still find you in the next."
"Zhao Ci!" I was stunned when I saw the person in the wheelchair.
Since Zhao Ci and Zhao Yuezhu left Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall), I would occasionally hear news of Zhao Yuezhu.
How could he be in the Iron Prison's collapsed tower?
Zhao Ci ignored my shock and slowly pushed his wheelchair closer to the wellhead.
"This is the Sansheng Well (Three Lives Well)."
"Each well contains the karma of one of your lives. Past, present, and future, there is always one karma that you cannot escape."
"Therefore, you are doomed to die."
Zhao Ci paused slightly and said, "Li Po, Ye Yang, we know each other, but I have no choice but to kill you."
"After you die, I will kill myself here as an apology."
Zhao Ci's words gave me a piece of information.
This Sansheng Well was not impossible to break. Moreover, the key to breaking the Sansheng Well should be in Zhao Ci's hands.
I said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ci, like you said, we know each other. If you want me to die, you should at least let me die knowing why, right?"
Zhao Ci shook his head and said, "Hall Master, I know your abilities better than anyone else. If I give you time, you might be able to turn the tide."
"I've put so much effort into severing your luck. Of course, I won't give you a chance to fight back."
"I can only let you be a confused ghost."
Su Su was brought over by Ling after Zhao Ci left Liangjie Tang.
We couldn't get any news of Zhao Ci, but Zhao Ci had been paying attention to Liangjie Tang all along. That was why he was able to trap us here.
In that case, Zhao Ci joined the Lunhui Si (Reincarnation Department) after leaving Liangjie Tang. Otherwise, with Chen Shuyu's abilities, it would have been impossible not to find any news of him.
Perhaps, Zhao Ci was a member of the Lunhui Si from the beginning.
As I looked at Zhao Ci with many doubts, he had slowly approached the wellhead closest to him.
"Hall Master, the power of karma needs someone to trigger it."
"Let me be the one to trigger the karma!"
The moment Zhao Ci touched the wellhead, the sound of water in the well churned again. This time, the sound of water was even more violent.
The three wells shook together, the sound of water rumbled, and the滔滔yin qi (overwhelming yin energy) was like a mist, filling the prison.
The power of karma also surrounded me and Ye Yang.
Countless ghosts suddenly appeared from the water in the middle well, floating in the air like water vapor.
They seemed to be gathering strength, preparing to launch an attack in an instant and kill me and Ye Yang in one fell swoop.
Zhao Ci said slowly, "Hall Master, don't make futile struggles."
"What you see now is just the karma of your current life. If you kill them, the karma of your past life will be added to your current life."
"Even if you can end the karma of your past and present lives, there is still a future life well here."
"The cycle of karma is endless. Even if you have the ability to reach the heavens, you will be exhausted to death here."
"Let's go together! Wouldn't it be better to settle all the grievances together?"
Zhao Ci's last sentence didn't seem to be directed at us, but at himself.
At that time, I was in no mood to care about Zhao Ci's thoughts. I kept exchanging glances with Ye Yang, trying to find a way to break the Sansheng Well.
Ye Yang's response made my heart sink. He couldn't think of a way to break the Sansheng Well either.
