"What?!" I was shocked, now I clearly can't feel the existence of the void at all, and my body can't recover because of the loss of the power of the void, and even the nine-star map in my chest that could have protected me has not worked. Isn't all this proof of the disappearance of the power of the void?

And what's even more strange is that the old man of Moshu only saw me when he broke into the Yang Shi to save me, why did he know about the disappearance of my void, and even he asserted that my void and soul had not disappeared, wasn't he without a void?

Seeing that I was puzzled, Merlin glanced at me, raised a hand and slowly placed it on the requiem stone that emitted a soft light, as if he was making some kind of preparation, and said to me at the same time: "Actually, it's not surprising that you don't understand, after all, we don't have a vain in killing the Dao, not only for you We are difficult to detect, but also for Yangshi. Therefore, in fact, when your friend Yaolong went to Yangshi alone, the master secretly sent someone to follow him, and your every move was transmitted back by the people who were secretly spying. ”

"It's just that he came back too late, and Master immediately decided to rescue you when he learned what happened to you, but he still couldn't rescue all of you, even he ...... himself" Merlin closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Yes......" I was about to apologize, but Merlin immediately raised his other hand and interrupted me, saying, "Actually, I wanted to kill you just now, and it wasn't entirely because Master died to save you...... It's more for me to ...... It's me who is too cowardly......"

As he spoke, he opened his eyes, looked at the requiem stone in front of him with extremely uneasy eyes, and continued: "I don't know if the master has ever told you about the effect of this requiem stone, but it seems that even if the master has said it, he should not have told you in detail......

"Now, let me explain to you why this stone is called Requiem Soul ......" Speaking of this, Merlin frowned, and the hand on the requiem stone trembled suddenly, and then the words came out of his mouth: "With the soul of the spirit, with the body of the soul, and with the blood of the body, you can get eternal life......"

After that, the words that Merlin recited were like Sanskrit scriptures, and to me they were like heavenly books, and I couldn't understand them. But at this moment, I suddenly remembered the price that Merlin had told me before, and I faintly felt something bad in my heart, and hurriedly and anxiously shouted at Merlin: "Wait for Merlin!" What are you doing! ”

I tried to reach out to stop him, but I couldn't control my body and could only watch him recite the incantations word by word.

As the spell came out of his mouth, the snow-white requiem stone gradually turned from white to red, and finally became like a blood-infused sphere, shining with a strange red light.

At this moment, Merlin finished the last incantation, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a reassuring smile, and at the same time, he slowly picked up the orb with both hands and placed it on my lap.

The moment the requiem stone touched my body, I felt a warm current spread throughout my body in an instant, and I vaguely felt the long-lost void in my body. In front of him, Merlin didn't know if it was because his strength was exhausted or for some other reason, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he tilted, looking dying.

At this moment, as the power of the void gradually appeared, my shattered muscles and bones began to recover, and my limbs, which were numb due to pain and weakness, also began to feel conscious.

Seeing that my body could move, I hurriedly struggled to pick up the requiem stone and tried to climb to Merlin's side to see how he was doing. As soon as I moved my body, I heard a few crisp cracking sounds, and the bones that had just recovered a little broke again.

In an instant, a sharp pain spread from the broken bone to my whole body, and I almost passed out.

But I couldn't care about it so much at this time, so I gritted my teeth and crawled to Merlin's side in pain. I saw that the skin on his face had become shriveled up, and cracks slowly appeared, making him look very old.

"Merlin, how are you?!" I asked with difficulty.

Hearing this, Merlin turned his head to look at me, and said with a relieved smile, "It seems that it really worked......" His voice looked very vicissitudes, "Master...... I have not failed you, I have done what I promised you, rest in peace......"

"I know you did! But I didn't ask you this, I was asking how you are now, how did you become like this?! I asked more urgently.

Merlin didn't answer immediately, just looked at me silently for a while, and then said, "This is the price I said, according to Master, the Requiem Spiritual Stone is a strange stone that can save lives." This is the ...... of using the soul in the human body that has been eroded or about to collapse as a price to attract the spirit into the body, and replace the original unconscious soul with the soul that is mutilated or eroded by evil, so as to achieve the effect of prolonging life"

"But your situation is different, Master just said that your soul and void spirit cannot be drawn out by the Requiem Stone......" Speaking of this, Merlin's voice had become so weak that it was difficult for me to hear what he was saying even when I was only a stone's throw away from him.

However, from what he just said, I already knew a rough idea, so I hurriedly took his words and said, "You mean, you used your soul to help me attract spirits into my body, and then repaired my void, right?!" Then I'll give you back your soul now! ”

With that, I placed the requiem stone in my hand on Merlin.

After a moment, I noticed that the Requiem Stone had no effect on Merlin, and his face was still aging, and even his hair had completely peeled off.

"How useless! Merlin, tell me what the spell you just chanted! Do you have to recite a mantra? By this time, I was already sweating profusely, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down my forehead.

After hearing this, Merlin just smiled and said, "Now, I know why Master asked me to save you, even at the cost of our lives...... Live well...... Don't let hatred dominate your mind......"

At this, Merlin's expression froze, and time seemed to stand still, freezing him forever at this second.

"Nope! Why do you all have to do this! Why do you all have to sacrifice yourselves to save me! It's not worth it...... It's really not worth it...... If I had known that things would have turned out like this, if so many people would have died because I wanted to erase the marks on my hands, it would have been better for me to die......"

Crying, I wanted to pick up Merlin and take him outside, but the moment my arm was forced, I felt that the arm holding Merlin suddenly deactivated, and his body instantly turned into a cloud of dark brown ashes scattered in front of me......
