Xichuan City.
The dark clouds over the city continued to spread to all sides, and a huge vortex formed in the center of the dark clouds. Some people who had not returned to reality from their dreams until this moment were enveloped by the huge power and soon dissipated into the sky and earth, becoming part of the dark clouds. .
On the city wall, Mu Qing frowned, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Even if he used his own sword to cut off the evil power of cause and effect on those people, so that the gathered power would not get out of control due to too much complexity, but until now, dark clouds were about to envelope the entire city, and he was still not sure about Xichuan's fate. s position.
Ye Qingyu stood next to Mu Qing, his green clothes fluttering in the wind, and said, "He is still dreaming."
Mu Qing's heart sank and he said: "We must find a home for this power, otherwise this small world will soon collapse."
Ye Qingyu looked up at the raging dark clouds in the sky, his eyes calm, and said, "I need you to do me a favor now."
Mu Qing was slightly stunned, looked at Ye Qingyu and said, "Senior, please tell me."
Ye Qingyu looked away, passing by the Wangchuan Inn, and stopped on a piece of red wall and blue tiles, and said slowly: "That used to be my residence, but after Xichuan City became what it is now, I didn't go there again. Pass. I will build a passage to his dream there later. You need to mobilize the power from the sky to help me, can you do it?"
After Mu Qing thought carefully, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Qingyu chuckled, and disappeared in a flash, "Then I'll trouble you."
Mu Qing watched Ye Qingyu turn into a stream of light and fly towards the city, with worry in his eyes.
In the courtyard, the dead peach blossom tree still stood in the courtyard. The movement above the city seemed to be isolated by the formation, so it seemed particularly quiet here.
Ye Qingyu stood in the courtyard and glanced around calmly, then walked under the peach blossom tree.
She gently touched the dead and wrinkled bark of the peach blossom with her fingertips. Her eyes fell on a line of small words on it, and ripples finally appeared in the depths of her eyes.
A gust of wind blew up, and the bare branches of the peach blossom tree danced wildly, as if they wanted to say something.
Ye Qingyu straightened up and raised his eyebrows: "Even now, don't you dare to come out to see me?"
There was a wordless silence, and Xichuan's voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, begging: "Go back quickly, don't do this."
Ye Qingyu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "After so many years, you are still like this."
Ye Qingyu raised his arm, picked off a peach branch that reached in front of him, and stood in the courtyard with a sword in hand.
The wind in the courtyard became stronger, but it could no longer move Ye Qingyu's hair and clothes.
Ye Qingyu held the peach branch, all the emotions in his eyes quickly faded, and his whole temperament became fierce.
Ye Qingyu said: "Actually, I am very selfish. Back then, I hoped you would give up Xichuan City. We..."
Ye Qingyu shook his head: "This city should not be your destination, and you should not stay in that dilapidated dream."
After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, he held the peach branch and gently moved it forward.
Everything is quiet.
A ripple spread from the front of the peach branch, and everything around Ye Qingyu... the house, the high wall, even the peach tree next to her, were reduced to ashes under the powerful sword intent.
This sword intent spread outside the small courtyard, impacting the high walls and pavilions with unabated power, carrying a meaning of destroying everything.
Xichuan was completely silent at this time, and when the unparalleled sword intent was destroying all the buildings on the ground and trying to hit the ground, it was blocked by an extremely powerful formation. :@
Ye Qingyu's eyes brightened slightly, he raised his head and shouted softly: "Mu Qing!"
The whirlpool in mid-air suddenly froze, and only two sword whistles were heard almost at the same time. The two sword shadows intertwined and rushed towards the place where Ye Qingyu was standing.
Boom——
The earth shook!
The two flying swords hit the underground formation directly, and the powerful impact raged, rolling up the ruins that had just fallen to the ground higher.
The power of Mu Qing's two swords has reached the level of the early stage of mortal transformation. Compared with Ye Qingyu's sword just now, it is far different, but it affects the huge power in the sky that has nowhere to vent.
I only heard a few violent tremors from the sky and the earth, and the dark clouds in the mid-air shrank suddenly and turned into a
The storm that covered the sky and the sun followed the two flying swords and blasted straight to the ground.
Mu Qing was already nearby at this moment. He triggered this attack and almost consumed all the strength in his body, but he did not forget to remind Ye Qingyu: "Senior, get out of there quickly!"
The two had agreed before that since Ye Qingyu had found the boundary between Xichuan's dream and reality, it was time to leave.
But what made Mu Qing's worries come true was that in the face of the storm falling from the sky, Ye Qingyu had no intention of leaving.
Mu Qing quickly touched his waist, held the Xinghua Bell and was about to throw it towards Ye Qingyu, but stopped at the next moment.
A figure that Mu Qing was already familiar with appeared above Ye Qingyu's head, taking the initiative to rush towards the falling storm.
Boom——
Like a stone falling into the water, the figure broke into the storm. Not only was it not torn apart by the storm, but it relied on its own strength to withstand the storm that almost enveloped most of Xichuan City.
Mu Qing looked at this scene and read out the other person's name with complicated emotions: "Xichuan."
At this moment, Xichuan resisted the storm by himself, but his expression was extremely ugly. When he looked at Mu Qing, his eyes were full of anger.
After Mu Qing landed next to Ye Qingyu, he noticed the strangeness in the atmosphere and frowned slightly: "Senior?"
Ye Qingyu smiled softly at Mu Qing, looked up at Xichuan in mid-air, opened his mouth, and was silent for a moment before saying: "It's not his fault, I asked him to do this."
Xichuan looked at Ye Qingyu steadily, his eyes extremely lonely, and asked: "Why?"
Ye Qingyu said: "Because you still plan to do stupid things."
When Mu Qing heard this, the guess in his mind became clearer and he looked at Xichuan, "Other people in Xichuan City have escaped from that dream, but the city lord is unwilling to wake up. What else do you want to do?"
Xichuan glanced at Mu Qing with cold eyes before falling towards the ruins of the ground.
The storm in the sky has calmed down and dispersed again, turning into clouds of dense golden light.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qing believed what Shen Qianqiu said. As long as Xichuan was willing, he could refine this power at any time.
But why doesn't he do this?
Mu Qing withdrew his gaze, turned to look to his side, and his expression suddenly changed: "Senior!"
Ye Qingyu's figure was much lighter than before, and it seemed that he would disappear with the wind at any time.
Xichuan rushed to Ye Qingyu in an instant and wanted to reach out and hug Ye Qingyu, but he froze in mid-air under Ye Qingyu's calm gaze.
Finally, Xichuan roared with great annoyance and knocked Mu Qing out with one palm.
Ye Qingyu frowned and said, "I am very optimistic about this young man. You are not allowed to hurt them in the future."
Xichuan frowned, his face was full of pain, and he said at a loss: "Qing... Qingyu, let's not talk about this, okay? There must be a way now, and I must still have a way to save you!"
Ye Qingyu looked at Xichuan's sad look, pursed his red lips, and said softly: "You sacrificed your life for this city, and for me, you would rather stay in a dream forever. But you know what I have been thinking these years. ?"
Xichuan covered his face with both heads and shook his head in pain.
Ye Qingyu finally showed a trace of regret on his face: "Sooner or later, the dream will collapse. I have expected everything today, so I have no regrets about it, except..."
"The last time I explored the outside world, I thought I would never be able to return to Xichuan City, but you brought me back, but why didn't you want to see me, even... hug me."
Hearing this, Xichuan finally plucked up the courage and hugged Ye Qingyu. His arms trembled slightly. He wanted to use force but was afraid to speed up Ye Qingyu's departure.
In the corner, Mu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, watched the scene silently, and slowly said, "I apologize to the city lord."
Xichuan and Ye Qingyu both looked at him, and Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "This apology is reasonable."
Mu Qing sighed inwardly.
He had always thought that Xichuan was struggling to maintain that dream for the sake of people like Xichuan City, but now, he realized that Xichuan did this to keep Ye Qingyu alive.
Mu Qing looked at Ye Qingyu and asked seriously: "Why?"
Xichuan also looked down at Ye Qingyu at this time,
Seems to want to find the answer.
Ye Qingyu said: "Although I was promoted to the Immortal Saint King Realm, I did not survive the catastrophe of the soul. Although he never told me, I have already guessed that he used the method of dreams to maintain my soul."
Mu Qing thought about what he had just done, and his heart was filled with regret. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Ye Qingyu's mood, he always thought that she was independent of Xichuan's dream.
Mu Qing raised his head, looked at Xichuan and said, "If I had known about this relationship, I would never have done this to Senior Qingyu."
Ye Qingyu shook his head and smiled, feeling the breath between the two and said: "You saved Xichuan. He planned to maintain the existence of the dream in a dream-within-a-dream situation, but when that time comes, he will never be able to wake up again. "
"I was already dead, but he was different."
After Ye Qingyu said this, he raised his head, glanced at Xichuan, and leaned lightly on Xichuan's shoulder, saying: "The last person left in the dream has woken up, right? You can do what you need to do." ”
Xichuan held Ye Qingyu motionless, and Ye Qingyu's eyes were full of questions.
If Xichuan does not refine the power lingering above his head, he will miss this opportunity to reshape the Dao Fruit.
Xichuan seemed to have figured something out at this moment, and his expression became calm.
He said to Mu Qing: "I am indeed inferior to you in some aspects."
Mu Qing frowned slightly and did not respond.
Although Xichuan's dream will collapse sooner or later, because of his participation, this time may be advanced many years.
Before he helped Ye Qingyu, it was Xichuan who sacrificed himself to fall into a dream forever in exchange for Ye Qingyu's lingering soul.
But now, as the last person in the dream wakes up, the dream is about to collapse. This is when Ye Qingyu will leave this world.
If it were him, what would he choose?
Mu Qing suddenly copied his mind and looked at Ye Qingyu: "Senior, do you know the story of Mu Yun and Luo Hua?"
"Yes." Ye Qingyu said with a hint of sadness, "When I held the Yunhua Sword, I already knew that they had completely left."
Mu Qing said: "When it comes to relationships, I have never made a life-or-death choice. I buried two seniors, Mu Yun and Luo Hua, not long ago, and I don't want this to happen again."
Xichuan was not surprised when he saw that Mu Qing had seen through his decision in his heart, but he still had an inexplicable expectation and said: "If you can let Qingyu survive, I can even sign a contract to be your slave."
Mu Qing shook his head and laughed: "If you do this, Shopkeeper Ye will beat me to death. What's more, the only person who can save her is you."
Xichuan looked at Mu Qing expectantly.
Mu Qing looked at the two people who were still hugging each other and said with a smile: "Has the City Lord ever heard of dual cultivation?"
