In the end, the rebels launched a betrayal against Li Lian from within. Her army was caught in a pincer attack, and they fought bravely with Li Lian herself standing at the forefront, leading the soldiers to resist the rebel's assault. The battlefield was ablaze, swords clashed, and every soldier fought with all their might, willing to sacrifice themselves.
Li Lian displayed astonishing leadership, inspiring the soldiers to charge forward regardless of the danger. However, the rebel forces were too powerful, cleverly trapping Li Lian's army on both sides, leaving them no way to retreat. Li Lian engaged in a fierce duel with the rebel leader, both fighting with all their might.
The final outcome is heartbreaking. In a fierce battle, Li Lian fought with all her might but could not withstand the fierce attacks of the rebels. Her shield was shattered, her sword was knocked away, and she was ultimately surrounded by multiple rebels. Despite her desperate resistance, she was eventually subdued.
In her final moments, the leader of the rebels raised a sharp sword and beheaded Li Lian. Her body fell on the battlefield, and when her head was severed, her soul did not find release but instead, filled with endless anger and resentment, she turned into a vengeful ghost. Her soul, wounded by injustice and betrayal, could not peacefully leave this world. Furthermore, Li Lian's death not only signified her personal sacrifice but also the downfall of the nation. The empire fell into chaos, internal corruption worsened, and foreign forces began to invade. Li Lian's resentment after death turned her into a female ghost, seeking revenge and trying to track down those who betrayed her. Instead, her hatred and anger trapped her soul in this world, turning her into a relentless avenger.
Yang Dawei broke free from the hallucination, his breathing quickened, and everything in front of him made him sure that he had returned to reality. He quickly looked around and found Lin Yating and Li Minghan still fighting non-stop. Yang Dawei made an effort to calm down and then loudly said to the other two, "The female ghost... the female ghost is Li Lian! That Li Lian!"
Lin Yating shouted, obviously confused by Yang Dawei's words, "Who is it! Be clear!"
Li Minghan also asked loudly, "Is it the festival of Lian that is held every September? Commemorating the brave sacrifice of the female general? We learned about it in history class!"
Lin Yating continued to explain while pushing the zombie, "So, how do we reconcile with her!"
Yang Dawei suddenly hit his head as if trying to squeeze out an idea from his mind. Then, he opened his eyes wide and said loudly, "We will tell her that her deeds and sacrifices are not entirely meaningless. After her death, the people deified her, turning her into a character in opera and drama, and she became a symbol of loyalty and patriotism. And those corrupt officials who oppressed her continue to bear the anger of future generations, even erecting statues specifically for people to curse at."
He continued, "More importantly, the country she protected will rise again two hundred years after her death, by the descendants of the emperor. This means that her efforts will not be in vain, and everything she did will be passed down, becoming an inspiration and example for future generations."
Yang Dawei hopes that these words can touch Li Lian's soul, making her understand that her actions and sacrifices are not in vain, but meaningful. He knows that this is their only hope. Only by making Li Lian understand the profound impact of her existence on the country and the people, can she possibly stop seeking revenge and break this curse. When several people nodded in agreement with Yang Dawei's suggestion, he carefully took the skull out of the box and held it tightly in his arms. The skull's face was filled with a furious and contorted expression, sending shivers down the spine. Although Yang Dawei felt fear, he deeply sympathized with the ordeals experienced by General Li Lian. He was filled with a strong desire for this great general to no longer endure such suffering in the afterlife.
Yang Dawei stared at the face full of resentment, and began to call out loudly, "General Li Lian! We are all descendants of the emperor! Please stop your anger and listen to our words!" He tried to recite the lines he had seen in exorcism movies in an attempt to appease the vengeful spirit.
Yang Dawei knew that everything now depended on this moment. He hoped that his words could touch Li Lian's soul, making her understand that her anger had brought endless suffering, and now it was time to release this hatred and let her soul rest.
When Yang Dawei kept talking about Li Lian's heroic deeds, the anger on their heads seemed to diminish slightly because they were descendants of the emperor. Yang Dawei continued, "General Li Lian, your deeds have been passed down for centuries. Countless dramas and novels have been adapted from your heroic deeds, and your name is engraved in the hearts of every citizen of the empire."
Li Minghan also shouted, "General Li Lian! You are my idol since I was a child. The empire you deeply loved has risen again two hundred years after your sacrifice. They remember your loyalty and bravery, never forgetting the great cause of the empire!" His voice was full of reverence and gratitude.
Lin Yating also joined in, saying: "General Li Lian! Thank you for giving me a mysterious day off every year, but more importantly, I am deeply moved by your story. Justice will prevail! Those corrupt officials, now turned into stone sculptures, endure the wind and rain, as well as the curses of future generations!"
The words of the three were filled with respect and gratitude towards General Li Lian, hoping that these words would touch her soul, making her understand that her deeds still have a profound impact on the empire and its people, and release the anger in her heart. This was a conversation of the soul.
