All the disciples of the Tianxi Sword Sect were on guard, their swords held across their chests.
They looked at the woman on top of the city in shock, who was plain in appearance but as powerful as a thousand-year-old dazzling woman.
They all secretly wondered who the visitor was, who could suppress and knock down their sect leader with one blow.
Bailiyu stood up from the pit and looked at the two spiritual swords with blue underworld flowers in the hands of Yun Rong, Ling Zhaoxue and others with trembling eyes.
There was a loud bang in his head, his ears and eyes suddenly became blurred, and his heart was beating violently uncontrollably.
He stood stiffly in the smoke and dust, a burning pain rising in his throat. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Ying Ji obviously didn't want to look at him again. She landed under the ruins of the capital, and when she raised her eyes slightly to look at Balian, the overwhelming and fierce aura disappeared.
She nodded slightly, and her smoky voice contained a hint of pampering and tenderness.
"Do you like these little guys?"
Within the six realms, demons are divided into two categories. One is demons, which are under the jurisdiction of the devil.
The second is a demon spirit, who is born with the emperor's seal. It can become a spirit, a weapon, or an immortal. Life and death are also determined by the emperor's thoughts.
Even though there are those in underground cities or immortal sects who hunt demons and keep demon spirits in captivity, they would not dare to do so blatantly.
But there was a sense of ease in her tone, as if as long as Balian nodded, the basket of troublesome monsters would become a group of kittens and puppies.
If he liked it, she would take it away from him even if it was unreasonable.
Bailian grew up with the Tianxi Sword Sect. At that time, her mother had a father around, so even though she had a hidden preference, she blatantly gave it to him because of his poor status as the young master.
Now that she has lost this identity, she seems to want to make up for all the money she once lost to him.
Whenever he opens his mouth and wants something, she can give it to him with all her strength.
Balian didn't expect that even at such an old age, he could still be pampered like a child. He couldn't help but find it a bit funny. He nodded and just pretended to be good in front of his mother.
Ying Ji nodded, shook her sleeves, and took out a Qiankun bag.
The good Xumi Mustard Seed magic weapon gave her a sense of familiarity with sacks of goods in the market.
All the dying demon clansmen that were carried out by the disciples of Tianxi were all taken away by her.
Bailiyu had a complicated expression and raised his hand as if to stop him, but in the end he said nothing. He sighed and lowered his hand heavily.
The disciples of Tianxi on the side did not have the sharp eyesight of the sword master.
A young inner sect disciple saw that his sect leader was being bullied to the point of being bullied. Tianxi disciples are naturally arrogant, how could they endure this?
Immediately, he held the spirit sword in his hand, pointed it at the ordinary-looking woman angrily, and said sternly: "Hey! Where did this ignorant and unruly woman come from? The emperor has a strict order not to keep demon spirits in captivity without permission! I, the Tianxi Sword Sect, kill demons and eliminate evil spirits. , you dare to obstruct?!"
Before the young and energetic inner disciple could continue to show off his eloquence, Bailiyu glared at each other with a cannibalistic look in his eyes: "Shut your mouth! You have no place to speak here!"
The disciple was so confused by the roar that he didn't dare to continue shaking his spirit, so he had no choice but to put away his sword and stand behind him.
Bailiyu suppressed the anger in his eyes, looked at Ying Ji hesitantly, and just opened his mouth to say a few words: "You..."
However, Ying Ji shook her sleeves, put away her Qiankun pouch, put her palm on Bailian's shoulder, and walked away on the wind and clouds without looking back as if she were a stranger.
Even Yun Rong Ling Zhaoxue found that wonderful skill of riding the wind and flying into the sky unbelievable.
But in the blink of an eye, the figure was only a small red dot in the sky.
Yun Rong had a clear mind and noticed Bailiyu's special emotional changes: "Sect Master, that woman just now is..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind passed by, and Bailiyu disappeared. Regardless of the chaos in the city, he chased the woman in the direction she left.
"metropolitan!
! "
"metropolitan!
! "
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and they were about to chase after them, but they heard Bailiyu's voice coming from far away in the wind: "Don't follow me!"
…
…
"Auntie, you are upset."
The long wind blew past her ears, causing Ying Ji's hair to be messy. She glanced at Balian and said, "Young kid, do you know what it means to be upset?"
Bai Lian crossed his arms and said with a smile: "If my mother is not upset, why would she leave Xiaoshuang Wangcheng alone and run away thousands of miles with her child?"
Ying Ji's flying speed from the sky suddenly stopped. She looked a little embarrassed and let go of Bai Lian's shoulders.
She pushed him gently and said awkwardly: "How can you be like you, leaving your wife behind and just rushing on your own?"
She was really good at setting people up for trouble. Balian rolled his eyes helplessly. Just as he was about to find a hilltop to land on, a whistling sword roar came from behind him.
The mother and son's bodies froze at the same time. Looking back, they saw Bailiyu chasing after him with his sword with an anxious look on his face.
Ying Ji held her forehead and said with a sullen face: "The ghost is still here."
The setting sun has set, the last bit of sunlight in the sky has faded, and the faint blue night light has descended on the world. Stars hang everywhere, and Bailiyu's eyes look particularly bright in the night.
He stopped ten meters away from Ying Ji, staring at her face for a moment, as if he had something to say.
However, Ying Ji did not show any shame and said with an evil expression: "The majestic master of the Tianxi Sword Sect is chasing after an ignorant and cunning woman like me, and you are not afraid of making your disciples laugh?"
Baili Yu originally had thousands of words, but they were suddenly blocked in his throat and it was difficult to say them out.
He was not a person who was good at submissiveness, even though he had not seen his wife for many years, even though he felt guilty towards her.
But the habit engraved in my bones made it difficult to face her with gentle words.
He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened and that he didn't care about anything. He glanced at Bailian and said seriously:
"Although I don't know why you are walking around the world like this, for the sake of friendship, I need to remind you not to continue to be crazy, lest you be taken advantage of by someone with intentions."
"In the past, you made such a paper man to deceive yourself and others. I thought you just wanted to keep it in mind and couldn't bear to expose your self-deceived lies.
But do you know that three years ago, the disaster of the Tianxi Sword Sect’s ghouls was all caused by the people around you, even...even..."
Speaking of this, no matter how hard-hearted Bailiyu was, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, his voice seemed to have been sharpened by a steel needle, and every word contained the meaning of burning blood and sorrow.
"Even our hidden sword was decapitated by this evil beast, and its flesh and blood were dismembered and eaten by crows! He could have..."
Bailiyu's voice choked up: "He could have returned to us."
Since Bailian left, Ying Ji has been self-proclaimed in Zhongyou in the past few years. She didn't know that so many things happened in the Tianxi Sword Sect three years ago.
Her brows trembled when she heard it, her face turned pale, and she stared at Balian, as if she was complaining that he didn't say anything.
But when this look fell in Bailiyu's eyes, it completely changed.
He thought that by revealing the truth, he could wake her up.
But looking at Ying Ji's look, she didn't have any intention of pursuing her. There was no trace of hatred in her eyes.
It was as if the person who died in the Valley of Chaos three years ago was not their child.
An unknown fire suddenly surged in Bailiyu's heart: "This evil obstacle is the culprit who killed our child! Now that things have happened, do you still want to protect him?!"
This also made Baili Yu not angry. In the past few years, the Zhongyou Dynasty had a winner. He took the identity of his child and wandered around in this world, which had already touched his bottom line.
But after hearing that Baili'an died, she went crazy. If Yingxiu could really give her some comfort, Bailiyu would just go with her.
At least in Bailiyu's heart, Ying Ji has always had her own bottom line in her actions. Although the world respectfully addresses Ying Xiu as His Royal Highness, the disciples of the Tianxi Sword Sect will also call him Young Master.
But in the past two hundred years, Bailiyu had never seen Ying Ji doting on him so much, even going out and going in together, doting and obeying his rude requests.
I'm so dizzy!
Where does this leave their son? !
Regarding Bailiyu's anger, Ying Ji just glanced at him tepidly:
"Our child? Who is with you and us? I am the Empress of Zhongyou, the master of the deceitful path. You are the master of the Tianxi Sword and the leader of the righteous path. One of us is black and one is white, one is evil and the other is righteous. How can we deserve this call?" us'.
It's okay for the sword master to say this in front of no one. If other interested people listen to it, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the sword master, so you still have to be careful about what you say.
As for the culprit who caused my son to die in a foreign country, Bailiyu, you are too humble. Instead of accusing others of causing chaos, it is better to reflect on yourself first. After so many years, have you fulfilled the responsibility of a father! "
Bailiyu frowned and his voice became lower: "I raised him until he was sixteen! You said I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father..."
Ying Ji interrupted: "Are you going to raise him until he is sixteen, or are you going to keep him in captivity until he is sixteen for your own selfishness and that useless, ridiculous dream of responsibility!
Bailiyu, even today, after so much has happened, you are still so stubborn! How stupid! "
She raised her head and paused her words, her eyes filled with unexplained emotions, and the redness in her eyes faded away.
Her eyes were dark and cold, with an indescribable sharp and piercing feeling.
"How righteous you Bailiyu are! How noble and upright you are, conquering the world with your integrity and integrity.
Who in the whole world disapproves of you and respects you! That day, the wife of the sect leader of the Sheng Sect, a great practitioner in the spirit-bearing realm, united with the evil cultivators of the Xilu Kingdom to plot against a child of several years old, and you were able to feel relieved and not be held accountable!
Regarding the prosperous world in your mind in the future, and the eternal prosperity of the righteous way, it turns out that you can’t change any of your principles..."
The sarcastic smile on Ying Ji's face deeply hurt Bailiyu's eyes: "It's just your principle that you will never be tolerant to the people closest to you."
Bailiyu's throat rolled a bit and he said: "My dear son, teach him righteousness and accept evil. Precisely because he is my child and the direct young master of Tianxi Sword Sect, I should be strict with him.
Teach him to abide by moral standards and guide him to follow the right path. Never allow him to be arrogant, indulge in evil things, and go astray.
Maybe in your eyes, I am too harsh on him, but I do all this for his own good. Why...why none of you can understand me! "
The starlight was mottled, and the halo of light falling from behind the clouds spread across the world. Ying Ji smiled and lowered her head, looking at the unfamiliar mountains and rivers under her feet. It was the place she once guarded with him with all her heart and soul. The world.
When she raised her eyes again, there was a layer of sadness in her eyes. During those years under the Thirteenth City, the fiery and pure feelings that had been placed on the sword-wielding young man were dead after all.
The two bravest things that Ying Ji has ever done in her life are to like the person in front of her and to give up on the person.
She didn't say anything more. Under Bailiyu's words, Ying Ji thought she would be extremely angry, but strangely, her heart was as calm as water, unable to stir up any waves.
"That's it, let's go." Ying Ji shook her head and bowed slightly.
Even now, she was able to say farewell to him so calmly, which even she found incredible.
Also, her most important child has returned to her, so there is nothing left to be satisfied with.
Bailiyu had imagined countless scenarios in which he could let go of her and resolve their misunderstandings, and was even prepared to accept her hysterical abuse.
But at this moment, after seeing the look in Ying Ji's eyes, it was extremely strange.
Bailiyu's heart became uncontrollably panicked.
It's like a person who is being loved and has no fear, and finally one day realizes that he is about to lose his own preference.
Even though he had been separated from Ying Ji for more than two hundred years, Bailiyu always had a certain kind of confidence.
As long as one day he is willing to lower his profile for her and bloom flowers all over the city for her, she will definitely come back to him.
But now, Bailiyu vaguely felt that an out-of-control situation was about to happen, which made him afraid.
He didn't even bother to trouble Bai Lian. No matter how hard he could hold back his impulse, he blurted out a sentence.
"Ying Ji, will you go home with me?!"
Ying Ji and Baili'an were suddenly stunned, because this was not something Bailiyu could say.
As soon as the words came out, Bailiyu felt that he had made a mistake, and he added hurriedly and hastily: "I...I mean, three months ago, didn't you want to go back to Tianxi to see the hidden sword?
I have set up a tomb in Dongli Xiaozhu, and I will retrieve his bones as soon as possible.
And his memorial tablet, I have carved it and placed it in the Baili family’s ancestral hall for worship. He has always missed you as a mother, I feel...I feel..."
Under Ying Ji's increasingly cold eyes, Bailiyu gradually couldn't speak anymore. He opened his eyes again and again, and his palms seemed to rub against the hilt of the sword at his waist, trying to make himself look as decent as possible.
But in the end... no matter how good the reasons were, they collapsed under Ying Ji's eyes.
Bailiyu avoided her sight with some embarrassment, and finally said what he wanted to ask the most.
"Back then, my spiritual roots were completely shattered and I was seriously injured and almost died. Was it you who replaced my spiritual roots?"
