As a "yin walker", he was unwilling to listen to this person's nagging words; but as Wu Fan, he wanted to get more information from the person in front of him.
So even if this person later explained on his own initiative, Wu Fan did not interrupt like before.
I heard from this person that although the scenery here was constructed by him, it was extremely unstable. Therefore, after he left, the only access to the outside world was completely blocked, leaving only a so-called path that could only be entered but not exited. "Gate of Trial".
In fact, according to the original plan, these Five Elements members have already been prepared and should be brought back to their original world by opening a path. It was just because "I" was not there that I delayed it for so long, and then another accident happened, causing the Five Elements Master to suffer serious losses...
Wu Fan knew the strength of the Yin Walker. Although it was indeed powerful, it was far from invincible. According to his comparison with the exchanges between Wu Ren and others, he learned that the Five Elements Walkers lost in recent years have far exceeded the value of the Yin Walkers.
So he didn't understand at all why the other party was deliberately waiting for him. Could it be that this "Yin Walker" had other uses?
But when he asked this question, the other party's answer was completely beyond his expectation.
"What... do you mean?" Wu Fan barely maintained the attitude that a Yin Walker should have, and asked coldly: "It is true that I was born from the Five Elements Cauldron, but my true body is negative energy and has nothing to do with you. .”
"Of course I know this." The other party's tone suddenly made people feel inexplicably sad. "Although you and I are not bound by cause and effect, I have put in too much effort for you. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. It doesn't affect me at all from treating you as mine." 's child."
With a slight sigh, the man continued: "The space here has reached the edge of collapse. Once the passage is opened, it will collapse completely, so... please wait a moment and let me gather the Five Elements members and take you away together!"
"Then... what about them? What to do with the remaining outsiders?" Wu Fan said in a deep voice.
"Them?" The man snorted coldly, "Since they are unwilling to surrender, then let this space be destroyed!"
"No!" Wu Fan naturally would not let those people die in an unknown manner, so he refused without hesitation.
"No? Why?" The voice in the stone room was a little surprised. He knew very well that a collection of negative emotions should not have a heart of kindness.
Wu Fan also realized that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and explained expressionlessly: "These remaining people are quite powerful. It would be a waste of resources to stay here! Anyway, you are not bad at waiting for so long. Time, I will find them and make them my own, and I can also make up for your losses a little bit."
"Hahahaha..." The other party burst out laughing excitedly for some unknown reason: "Don't worry, these Five Elements People are just pawns to me. Their ending is already determined. They will die early and die late. So, my child, you don't have to worry about me at all. Consider it better to come with me!"
"I'm not discussing with you. Farewell!" Without saying a word, Wu Fan left without looking back.
"Alas..." A long sigh came from the stone chamber, and then there was no more sound.
…
On the way, Wu Fan kept paying attention to the situation behind him. He was relieved until he was sure that no one was chasing him.
"Huh... It seems that this guy really didn't lie to me. Now I can only hope that what he said is true..."
"But Mr. Class Leader..." The drama ghost had naturally heard the previous exchange, and said in a serious tone: "If what this person said is true, wouldn't those people never be able to leave?"
"That's true, but as long as I don't show up, this guy won't open the exit, so even if they are still in trouble, their lives are not in danger..."
"What the class leader said makes sense."
"So I don't have to think about these troublesome things anymore. After all, this is the main purpose of my coming here..." With that, Wu Fan took out the map and started looking for it based on the marks.
…
Although the city lord's palace was empty, allowing Wu Fan to walk freely, the further he walked, the more upset he became, because the mark on the map was clearly next to him, but he couldn't find it no matter what.
Especially when he was wandering around like a headless fly in the city lord's mansion, he could always feel someone staring at him.
But when Wu Fan looked around, there was no trace. He asked the opera ghost, and the opera ghost was also confused, so he could only treat it as his own illusion.
"It's really strange. This mark is clearly right in front of us, but..." Wu Fan returned to the same place again, staring at the big tree in front of him in a daze. Although the tree had lush branches, it didn't seem to be hiding anything.
What made him feel even more strange was that this big tree always seemed familiar to him, and there was no wind at the moment, but the big tree was trembling slightly.
"Lord Yin Walker, what are you looking for?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from Wu Fan's ears.
Wu Fan turned around and saw a vague human face standing on his shoulder.
What the hell is this? Wu Fan was shocked, but just when he was about to pull out his self-defense weapon, he saw the face suddenly jump off his shoulder and then turned into a human form.
"Is it you?" The guy in front of him was the "water column" before, but Wu Fan really didn't know what to call it.
"That's right." The other party bowed slightly.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Fan looked wary and covered up the map.
"Don't be nervous, sir. I just happened to pass by here and saw the embarrassment on your face, so I came to see if I could help you." The other party smiled.
"Really? You can help me if you want, but before that I have to test you!" Wu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If you include this, I just marked a few locations! Tell me!"
"Three places!" the other party said without thinking, but then his face froze, "Sir, things are not what you imagined. Please listen to my explanation!"
Wu Fan learned from the other party's words that although the previous Yin Walker rarely visited this place, every time he came, he would make a big fuss and almost turn the city lord's mansion upside down!
The city lord's mansion originally had small bridges and flowing water with rippling blue waves, but due to the destruction of the Yin Walker, many of the other's shelters were destroyed. Therefore, the other party followed me in the hope that I could persuade him at a critical moment and leave a small puddle for him to use as a shelter.
No wonder Wu Fan always felt damp all over his body. It turned out that ever since he left the stone room, he had been stalked by this guy...
Thinking about it carefully, Wu Fan felt that he was still too restrained, and even began to doubt whether he had exposed his flaws in front of that person.
"It's okay to let me let you go..." Seeing the other party looking at him helplessly, Wu Fan could only frown: "But today's events must not be known to a third party!"
"This..." The other party looked a little embarrassed: "Lord Yin Walker, I can only promise you that I will not let a fourth person know..."
"What do you mean?" Wu Fan frowned, secretly thinking that his communication with the opera ghost would not be noticed by outsiders.
"Lord Yin Walker, please forgive me! I didn't mean to eavesdrop!" As soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, he saw the big tree beside him shrank and turned into an old man with white hair and a childish face.
Wu Fan looked at the old man and then looked at the distance. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the few big trees in the city lord's mansion all looked the same. It turned out that they were all transformed by the old man! Without the other party's explanation, Wu Fan understood that he and the "water column" must have the same difficulties.
"Okay, okay! As long as you don't let the fourth party know, I'll keep you safe today!" Wu Fan said helplessly, "Tell me, what do you know?"
The man was about to speak, but his expression was confused: "Master Yin Xingzhe, if I say it, I hope you won't get angry!"
"I promise not to get angry!" Wu Fan was already a little impatient and said in a bad mood.
"Sir, I can only promise you that this matter will not be known to the fifth party..." the other party said with a guilty conscience.
"You... don't push yourself too far!" Wu Fan suddenly lost control of his emotions, and the yin energy in his body began to spread around.
"Master! Be careful to control your emotions!" The opera ghost hurriedly sang a ghost play secretly, and Wu Fan's eyes also regained a trace of clarity.
This time, Wu Fan lost control of his emotions without any warning. After calming down, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had brought the opera ghost with him.
"My lord, please calm down! My lord, please calm down! But we can't help you with this matter. Only General Tuling can help you!" The old man said with a panicked look on his face, trembling.
"I understand." From the old man's words, Wu Fan learned their names and ordered the man next to him: "General Shui Ling, go back quickly!"
"Yes!" General Shui Ling looked at the old man sympathetically as if he had been granted amnesty, then turned and left.
…
"Ahem... Lord Yinwalker, we promise you that no one other than the five of us will know about this matter!" General Mu Ling said in order to ease the embarrassment of the two of them being alone.
But Wu Fan fell into silence, leaving no time to pay attention to him.
Although General Mu Ling had a hot face but a cold butt, he didn't pay any attention to it, as if he was used to the other party's attitude.
…
Just when he was hesitating whether to find an excuse to escape, Wu Fan, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I've been thinking about it since just now... who are you?"
"Ah? What did you say, Lord Yin Walker?" General Mu Ling didn't hear clearly.
"Or what exactly are we?" Wu Fan continued.
"Oh... we are transformed from the energy of the five spirits, but Lord Yin Walker is different. You are born from nothingness above us! It is the meaning of our existence!" General Mu Ling replied.
"All things are born from balance, but they all end up in nothingness. Once this space is no longer there, I'm afraid it will no longer have any meaning..." Wu Fan murmured.
"Why is there no meaning?" General Mu Ling said with a smile, "Lord Yin Walker, I personally believe that as long as we exist, there is meaning. Even if it is only for a moment, we will leave a unique afterglow in the long river of time!"
"You're a very open-minded guy." Wu Fan said with a smile.
"That's natural!" General Mu Ling shook his head and said: "Although we spiritual beings do not originate from heaven and earth, we can still understand the rules by ourselves. In comparison, those mortal beings outside are simply too vulgar!"
At this point, Wu Fan said with a faint smile: "Even if they are vulgar, didn't you turn them into Five Elements Practitioners?"
"Master Yin Walker, you are born from nothingness, so you may not understand..." General Mu Ling quickly explained: "After all, these five spirits are not a plague. How can we say that infection will lead to infection? The main role we can play is to amplify their emotions. , as for what kind of practitioner to become, it is actually entirely up to the other party’s own choice!”
"So it's not us who really create the Five Elements, but their hearts!"
