Tianyan Sect in the Earth Spirit Realm, on the Heavenly Crying Peak.
Li Jiuchuan was meditating and fell into trance. Suddenly his mind was in a state of confusion. His spiritual energy flew out and a mouthful of blood spurted onto the ground.
Click!
The cracking sound was particularly loud in the quiet room. Li Jiuchuan stabilized his spiritual energy, with blood on the corners of his lips. He thought for a moment and his pupils shrank. He immediately got up and rushed to the depths of the quiet room and opened the cabinet door.
There was a ferocious crack on the life card that he had put away on purpose. Under the life card, he wrote four words with a vermilion pen.
【My disciple Wangshu】
"Yuebai?!"
Li Jiuchuan was greatly shocked.
"No, she is in the upper realm, so the life card cannot have any effect. It must be a coincidence."
Li Jiuchuan looked at the cracks on the life card again. If there was just a tiny gap, the life card would be completely broken into two pieces.
"Even if it still works, as long as the life card is not broken, she still has a glimmer of hope."
Li Jiuchuan carefully put away his life card and immediately decided that he would go to the upper world to find Jiang Yuebai.

Qinglong Realm, Fulong Mountain.
Two years have passed since the disaster of unknown origin. The once bustling city at the foot of Fulong Mountain, with people coming and going, has become a ruin, with broken walls and overgrown weeds.
A female cultivator in green clothes carried a long sword on her back and had a cold face. She walked away from the grass half a person tall and walked into the abandoned city.
She walked all the way until she reached the highest tower in the city. She appeared on the top of the tower and looked towards the west sea.
The West Sea used to be vast and boundless, but now the West Sea can be seen beyond the void at a glance.
The western boundary of Qinglong Realm, Hai Zhiya and the entire West Sea, ceased to exist in that disaster. Today, Fulong Mountain has become the new border of Qinglong Realm.
There is a hint of fish belly white in the east, and dawn is approaching.
"Lu Nanzhi."
A deep male voice came from behind. Lu Nanzhi turned around and saw Xie Jingshan dressed in black, frowning slightly.
Xie Jingshan noticed Lu Nanzhi's gaze and said quickly, "I didn't mean to wear black clothes, it was..."
A trace of bitterness flashed in Xie Jingshan's eyes.
"Senior Sister Jing passed away not long ago. I don't want to dress too brightly and make Master and Sister sad."
Lu Nanzhi didn't mean to blame him, and asked with concern, "How are you lately?"
Xie Jingshan walked to Lu Nanzhi and said with a wry smile, "As usual, atone for your sins."
"What does Mr. Jingchu's death have to do with you? Why do you have to bear all this on yourself and trap yourself here?"
Lu Nanzhi was a little angry. She and Xie Jingshan had corresponded with each other in the past two years and knew about Jing Chujun.
Before setting off for the West Sea, Jing Chujun sent a letter to Xie Jingshan telling him what she had discovered.
Xie Jingshan's eyes were dark, "After all, I asked her to look after Jiang Yuebai, so she took the risk to go to sea, but..."
"Xie Jingshan, you take yourself too seriously!" Lu Nanzhi said helplessly.
Xie Jingshan's smile became more and more bitter, "Yeah, you also think that I take myself too seriously. In fact, I'm not that important in your hearts at all. It's all my own passion and wishful thinking."
"Xie Jingshan, that's not what I meant!"
Xie Jingshan raised his head and felt from Lu Nazhi's eyes that all his little thoughts had been seen through by Lu Nazhi.
"So you already know that I like her."
Lu Nazhi sighed, "You made it so obvious, how could I not know? Just like her if you like her. Xiaobai is worth it. If I were a man, I would also be happy with her."
Xie Jingshan shook his head slowly, "No, I can't like her. My love for her is like a curse. It will always lead to bad things, whether it is for myself or others. In the past, I always chased behind her. Looking at her, watching her go from being so young, from being dark, ugly and weak, to the person she is today with unparalleled grace, amazing talent and unparalleled beauty."
"Actually, I don't know when I got moved and had thoughts that I shouldn't have. I always think that it was forced on me by others, making me dream about her and letting her and I repeat the same fate as the ancestors and Zhufeng. It was the same mistake, so I kept resisting, but when the blind old man asked me to kill her in the Shark Kingdom of the Underworld."
"I realized that it was me, Xie Jingshan, who didn't want to, but I also knew that she could refuse even Zhuo Qingfeng outright. She is a person who has no love in her heart and only has the path to immortality, so I thought, just It’s nice to chase after her like this and watch her accompany her.”
"If the day she sets foot on the top of the road, she has no Taoist companions around her, but she has friends, and this friend is me, that will be enough for Yu Yuan. But now, I finally realize that I am not qualified. If I continue to chase after her like this Behind her, she will only get further and further away, and innocent people will be harmed."
"It's my selfishness. I didn't consider Jing Chujun's safety. I only thought that nothing would happen to Jiang Yuebai. Even if I didn't kill Jing Chujun, I still pushed her to go to Xihai."
Lu Nanzhi sighed, "So you worship Lord Jingchu's father as your disciple, and will you serve him in the future?"
Xie Jingshan looked at Lu Nanzhi, raised his lips and smiled, "There is a reason for this, but there is also my selfishness. When I only had Jiang Yuebai in my eyes, I had no idea what I wanted. Why did I pursue immortality and pursue power? Now, After I decided to let go of Jiang Yuebai, I suddenly understood. This feeling was very strange, as if the string in my heart suddenly broke, and I felt that Jiang Yuebai was not the most important existence to me."
Xie Jingshan took a step forward, stepped out of the shadows, and bathed in the golden light of the morning sun.
"You always say that you must defy nature and fate, and many people even aspire to defy nature, but most people's actions are simply to obey nature and fate. Since you can't stand this dark world, why don't you change it and break it? Why do you want to do it? Let yourself be clothed in darkness and become a part of it?”
"At this point, none of us are as good as Jing Chujun. She has always been controlled by the master's wife. She also told me that she understands her mother's difficulties, so she can tolerate it and obey it. But on the issue of righteousness, She no longer tolerated or obeyed, she did not agree with the Master's wife's approach, even if it was dangerous, she rushed to the West Sea without hesitation to try to stop the fight."
"The disaster in the Qinglong Realm stems from the greed of human nature. The death of Lord Jingchu also stems from the selfishness of Master and Mistress. If Master had been willing to take action and try her best to stop Qi Siheng's conspiracy, would the result have been different? Wouldn't Master Jingchu have to die? , Jiang Yuebai doesn’t know how to..."
Xie Jingshan turned his head and saw the word "chuan" between Lu Nanzhi's eyebrows getting darker.
"Do you think it's a fantasy? I think so too. It's not easy to change this world and people's hearts, and tear through the darkness that covers our eyes. But I, Xie Jingshan, am a rebellious person by nature, so I just want to give it a try. I don't want to take the path of being alone. , I want to use the sword in my hand to help the world!"
Lu Nazhi didn't know what to say, because her way was to be alone. What she pursued was the ultimate in swordsmanship. She didn't care about others, except of course her close friends.
"The blind old man said that only by killing Jiang Yuebai and following the ruthless path can I get rid of the shackles of destiny. In fact, as long as I let go of myself, I can also get rid of destiny. I think starting from this Zhenwu Immortal Sect, although the master and the wife have selfish desires, but Grand Master Nangu Daojun is a man of humility and peace of mind. He has a Tao in his heart, and I want to practice with him."
Lu Nazhi asked doubtfully, "If Taojun Nangu is what you said, why did he force the Fulong Sect to escape from the Qinglong Realm?"
Xie Jingshan said helplessly, "The photo of Taipu Zhenzun and the horned dragon from Biyou Palace killing Senior Sister Jing has spread throughout the Qinglong world. Although Taishifu has deduced that Qi Siheng was behind it, this matter concerns the Zhenwu Immortal Sect. of majesty.”
"Master Tai is under a lot of pressure. If we don't take action for this, it will make the disciples below panic and shake the foundation of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect. Just imagine that a pillar of the sect will not even avenge his great-granddaughter. The disciples below and within the sect will How can Zhenren Zhenjun believe that Zhenwu Immortal Sect will protect them if something happens to them?"
"Fulong Sect and Biyou Palace have suffered heavy losses this time. Almost all the pillars and backbones of the sect have been killed and injured. It will be difficult to regain their strength within five hundred years. At least there is a Mahayana Immortal Lord in Biyou Palace who may return. Fulong Sect There is nothing, the best result would be if Grand Master takes a little action and forces them to leave on their own."
"If Grand Master went on a killing spree, he would have fallen into Qi Siheng's plan. Now the Qinglong world is not in a war because of this incident. I think it is the best result. In addition, although Senior Sister Jing died, she With Grand Master’s secret skills to protect the soul, and the opportunity to be reincarnated, Grand Master did not tell Master’s wife about this, he only hopes that in the next life, she can get the freedom she wants.”
Lu Nazhi nodded, took out the Poyun Chong given to her by Xie Jingshan, and looked into the void outside the territory.
"Are you leaving?" Xie Jingshan asked.
"Well, you have found your own way. I am happy for you. I am also going to pursue my way. I heard that the seventh realm of the Beidou Star Alliance, the Shaking Light Realm, is the holy land for sword cultivators. Find a place to have a baby, and then go and have a look, Xiaobai If she comes back, remember to ask her to send a message to me to say that she is safe."
Lu Nazhi threw up Poyun and charged.
Xie Jingshan clenched his fist and asked cautiously, "Is she really... still alive?"
The Zixiao Divine Thunder that day destroyed the entire Western Sea. Xie Jingshan really didn't dare to think about how many god-transforming monks failed to escape.
Lu Nazhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were confident, and he never hesitated.
"She's Jiang Yuebai, she's gone!"
The broken clouds turned into a stream of light, leading Lu Nanzhi to escape into the darkness of the void, traveling farther and farther.
Xie Jingshan stood alone, a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, she is invincible Jiang Yuebai, she must be alive!"
After calming down his mood, Xie Jingshan stood up with his sword, accompanied by the sword spirit Fu Dou and the three-legged golden crow, heading towards the rising sun in the east.
