The earth was in a mess. Due to the previous battle between the strong men, the mountains and ridges for hundreds of miles collapsed and there was no life left.
Nearly half of the Siwu tribe members were killed or injured. These mortals had no time to escape and were affected by the monks' battle, causing innocent deaths. The two elders of the Siwu Tribe tried their best to protect their clansmen, but the result was still the same. Their cries reached to the sky. Unfortunately, God has no mercy.
In mid-air, eighteen demon-suppressing pillars were surrounded by demonic energy. The locked Lu Chen looked at Ye Ling with a gloomy face and asked, "Who do you want me to see?"
"The person you betrayed."
When Lu Chen heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Is this necessary? Let me go to see him. He will be hurt."
"I just think that the two of you should come to an end and end with your death."
After Ye Ling said that, he leaned down and landed on the ground. Ming Xiao and Cui were healing their wounds, and Dan's body was lying next to them. Ye Ling gently held Dan in his arms, the look in his eyes was indescribable.
Not long after, Cui, who was slightly injured, opened her eyes and saw Ye Ling in front of her. She cried silently without saying a word.
In the distant sky, several figures came towards them. Could it be that they were Wu, the chief of the Juchen tribe, Hui, the elder of the Houzhao tribe, and others. Ren Qiang, who was following behind, was carrying Ning Changge on his shoulders.
Ning Changge wailed: "Hey~yo~ It hurts me to death~Hey~yo~"
Ren Qiang grinned and said, "You have tender skin and tender flesh. You just deserve a beating. You will be fine after a few beatings."
Ning Changge rolled her eyes at him: "You think everyone is like you, born to be a beast. I am a human being, a weak human being, and I cannot withstand such a beating."
Ning Changge is still only in the Yingchong realm, and with the blessing of the clay pot, he dares to fight against the powerful in the Immortal realm.
At this stop, four elders from the Juchen Tribe and the Houzhao Tribe each died before killing the four elders from the Wanjian Divine Sect. For this reason, Ning Changge was also seriously injured and escaped death.
It was discovered that all the disciples of the Wanjian Shen Sect had also fled back to the Hongling Mountains. Ren Qiang and others were worried about Ye Ling and hurried over.
Seeing the eighteen demon-suppressing pillars hanging in mid-air, with Lu Chen trapped inside, Ren Qiang left Ning Changge behind and ran up to him and yelled: "You bitch, you still have the nerve to be alive. I'll kill you right away on my horse." you!"
Ren Qiang waved his fist, but unfortunately he couldn't break the defense of the Demon Suppressing Pillar.
Ning Changge, who was left behind, screamed and fell into the air. Fortunately, Elder Hui came to catch him and he was not injured anymore.
The group of people came to the ground and saw Ye Ling holding Dan's body without saying a word. They also stood behind silently, looking at each other without saying a word.
Ning Changge shouted and was put down by Elder Hui, but as soon as he glanced at Ye Ling, he immediately shut his mouth. When he looked at Dan's body again, he couldn't help but punch the stone next to him: "Damn it, damn it!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling suddenly said: "Did I do something wrong? I shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Without me, the eight tribes of barbarians could merge into one, leave the Southern Territory and become a large sect under the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. .Because of my self-righteousness, so many people lost their lives.”
"No, this is not your fault," Wu retorted: "Even without you, Elder Ye, we would still have resisted the Wanjian Shenzong, and many clan members would have died. But because you and Ning Clan Chief were here, we won this battle In this battle, every tribesman who died died to protect the tribe. Their death was worth it. Even if they had to do it all over again, they would not look back. This is how our tribe survives to this day."
Elder Cui nodded and said: "Elder Ye, the clan leader died for the clan. Her death had nothing to do with her companions. All hatred should be attributed to our enemies!"
Elder Hui said: "Now that all the elders of the Wanjian Divine Sect are dead, and the sect master has been captured by us, it is time to lead our warriors from all races to counterattack the Hongling Mountains and avenge the dead!"
"Yes, revenge!"
Ye Ling didn't answer, but stood up holding Dan's body and asked, "Did Yong and Lu send people to support them?"
Elder Hui said: "Five elders have already gone. We don't expect to win. We just want to let the Mengzhang tribe retreat in the face of difficulties. When we recover from our injuries, we can defeat the Mengzhang tribe together!"
Ye Ling did not reply and said to Ning Changge, "I leave everything to you. I want to take Dan and Lu Chen back."
Ning Changge nodded heavily: "Don't worry!"
After the demon-suppressing pillar accepted people, it could not reach the jasper finger, so Ye Ling had to activate the Tao power to move the magic pillar in the air.
He held Dan in his arms and was speechless all the way. Lu Chen, who was in the Demon Suppressing Pillar, also closed his eyes and said nothing.
After walking like this for more than half a month, Ye Ling returned to the shore of Mingjing Lake.
At this time, the people from the Cangwu tribe and the Houzhao tribe had already moved away, and Nan'an, who was disabled in both legs, was sitting on the lakeside that should have been deserted.
Nan An looked at Ye Ling in mid-air, his expression changed slightly. All people and things he didn't want to face would always appear and happen undesirably. He tried to avoid them, but he couldn't.
Eighteen demon-suppressing pillars fell in front of Nan An. Amidst the billowing demonic energy, Lu Chen opened his eyes. The moment he saw Nan An, his heart couldn't help but hang up.
Is the person in front of him his master, the elder of the sect, his former supporter, his current enemy, or...his father?
The complicated identity converged on Nan An, and every move he made made Lu Chen nervous. The feeling of being willing to die was completely destroyed the moment he saw Nan An.
Lu Chen's eyes were filled with tears, dripping down on his chest: "Uncle Nan'an..."
He hesitated to speak, and Lu Chen looked at Nan An with tearful eyes. At this time, he didn't know what he was expecting.
Nan An turned the wooden wheel of the wheelchair under him and slowly approached Lu Chen. Every time he got closer, their hearts ached.
Nan An did not respond to Lu Chen's expectations, but chuckled: "I still remember that when I first met you, the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect had been destroyed. You kept crying in the nurse's arms, but you suddenly laughed when you saw me. It was your smile that made me want to revive the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
"It's not easy to take care of children. I have been away from my relatives since I was a child and worshiped in Sword Mountain. If I were asked to take care of the sword, I might have learned a lot, but I really don't know how to take care of children. I am happy when you are little, but you cry , I panicked. But seeing your little body getting bigger and bigger, I have more expectations."
"Do you still remember the first time you held a sword? You were only three years old at that time. You saw several senior brothers practicing swordsmanship, and you insisted on asking me for a sword. I found a Taoist sword for you, but you He couldn't hold it, smashed his foot, and ran into my arms crying loudly. After that, you didn't watch them practice swordsmanship in the dojo for more than a year."
"When you were ten years old, you broke through the Qingyou Realm. I remember that you were so arrogant that you walked with your head raised in front of your fellow apprentices. After all, you were taught a lesson by your fellow apprentice Su, and you were no longer so proud."
"When I was twenty years old, I presided over the crowning ceremony for you. You took the Chixiao sword and Taoist robes I gave you. The look in my eyes suddenly made me realize that you have grown up and you are no longer me. The child in his eyes is an upright man, a swordsman."
Nan An's eyes glowed with white light, and he still smiled and said: "This may all be my fault. It was my wishful thinking that imposed the task of reviving the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect on you. It was I who forced you to practice the swordsmanship that you don't like at all. . It’s me who keeps forcing you, it’s all my fault..."
Nan An raised his head and laughed: "I shouldn't have done this, I ruined you!"
Lu Chen, who was in the Demon Suppressing Pillar, had already burst into tears. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Uncle Nan'an, all this has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault, it's my fault. I let you down, and I let myself down. I let It’s me who disappoints everyone.”
The two talked for a long time inside and outside the Demon Suppressing Pillar, but they still felt that it was not enough. If they could communicate so often in the previous thousand years, would they have avoided today's ending? Z.br>
On the other side of Mingjing Lake, Ye Ling placed Dan's body among a pile of flowers and plants. This is the custom of the Cangwu tribe. The dead person is placed among the flowers and trees and burned with Taoist fire.
The totem of the Cangwu tribe is the phoenix, which burns upon death, symbolizing rebirth from the ashes. It's a pity that rebirth from the ashes is just a myth and legend and cannot become a reality.
Ye Ling sat next to Dan. He could not incinerate Dan because she was the clan leader and her "rebirth" ceremony had to be held in the presence of the Cangwu tribe members.
Now, he just wants to be with her.
"Dan, I lied to you. It's a pity that you didn't give me time to tell you everything about me. My name is Ye Ling, and I am Dong
Human race in this domain, you are the third lover I have met. My first lover has already left me. Maybe you will meet each other. I still have things to do and can't go to you. Are you willing to wait for me? "
"The time we got together was too short, but the moment we fell in love was so long that I will never forget it forever."...
The stars shine brightly at night, and the breeze blows by the shores of Mingjing Lake. The fragrance of vegetation is carried in the wind, which is reassuring.
Ye Ling's figure appeared in front of Nan An and Lu Chen. Nan An knew the purpose of Ye Ling's visit. He didn't say anything. He just glanced at Lu Chen for the last time, then turned around silently and left in his wheelchair.
For Nan'an, the two children he once had high hopes for have now become sworn enemies. He will not place the responsibility for this matter on others.
Lu Chen had long accepted his fate. He looked at Ye Ling and smiled with relief: "Even if you don't do it, these pillars of yours can suck me dry. If you do it now, I should thank you for giving me a happy."
Ye Ling said: "Before you die, I want to ask you something. Why does the Holy Spirit Church want to help you?"
"You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of the Holy Spirit Cult. Since Qiu Wan En appeared, your hatred towards me has increased a lot. Do you have any enmity with the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"A bloody feud!"
"Then I have to advise you. The Holy Spirit Sect is no better than the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. I'm afraid you will never be able to take revenge."
"You don't want to answer my question?"
"I think you should know what I will say. The Holy Spirit Cult is naturally using me, but if the user reveals his purpose, can it still be considered use? So you can't find the answer to the truth of the matter in me. , you won’t know until you are strong enough. Unfortunately, when you are strong enough to understand the truth, the truth may be worthless to you.”
Ye Ling suddenly smiled: "Yes, the truth may not be important. What is important is the ability to know the truth. But I will get both!"
The corners of Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Being greedy may lead to great achievements, but it may lead to self-destruction. The only difference is that greed corresponds to failure, while success corresponds to ambition."
"Everything you are saying now is a loser's complaint? It's a pity that I don't want to listen to it anymore, Sect Leader Lu, I hope you can understand my choice!"
"Let's do it!"
