Chapter 2113 The Fire is Not Extinguished
The sensation coming from the mark of the Samsara Tree was intermittent at first, obviously because the distance was too far. In addition, the special aura of Xingyuan also strongly interfered with this sensation.

However, as the distance gets closer, this sensation gradually stabilizes and becomes clearer.

In recent years, Lu Ye has been using this method to determine the direction of travel, and also to estimate the distance based on the strength of the sensation.

It's impossible to be too detailed, but it should be roughly within a year. If it goes at a faster pace, it shouldn't take more than a year.

During the initial period, everyone actually had another expectation, which was that the elusive ghost sedan would suddenly arrive, take them away and send them back to the original starry sky.

This is not impossible. The ghost sedan has picked them up twice before, so there may be a third time.

But after such a long time, the ghost sedan did not appear again, so everyone gave up the idea.

The repair is over, and we continue moving forward.

One day, when passing through an area, Zi Ji suddenly frowned and looked around intently.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and sent a message to Lu Ye who was leading the way in front.

Hearing this, Lu Ye immediately stopped and turned to look: "What's wrong?"

Ziji didn't explain too much, just waved and said, "Come with me."

From the look on his face, it seemed like he had discovered something, but it didn't look like there was any enemy. Lu Ye couldn't figure out the specific situation.

The team formation changed, Zi Ji walked in the front and Lu Ye brought up the rear.

As we walked along, we could vaguely see traces of a great battle all around us. It was obvious that a fierce battle had once broken out in this area.

Half a day later, Zi Ji led everyone to a place.

Originally there seemed to be a huge creation here, but due to the high-intensity war, this creation has been shattered, and the vast starry sky is filled with broken remains.

There were also many body parts mixed in.

Lu Ye looked in one direction and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He hurried forward to check and found that it was a tattered Yan armor with a huge hole in the middle of the Yan armor, with blood and minced meat residue.

Looking at the remaining traces of the battlefield nearby, Lu Ye suddenly looked up at Zi Ji.

Zi Ji now confirmed his previous guess: "This is the Hekan Battle Fortress!"

When he passed by the previous area, he just felt that the nearby terrain looked familiar, but the more he observed, the more something seemed wrong. Until he came here, he finally confirmed that this was where he had stayed for a period of time. The reason why he felt familiar was undoubtedly because he had been active in that area before.

"Is this... Yanjia Starry Sky?" Lu Ye also reacted.

"That's right!" Zi Ji nodded, "This is the starry sky that the ghost sedan brought us to last time. Not long after I separated from you, I came to the Hekan Battle Fortress."

Lu Ye and Jiu Yan went to the Thunder Battle Fortress, while the others were scattered in different places.

"But isn't this Xingyuan? Why are we back again?" Chen Li looked puzzled.

Lu Ye said leisurely: "This is Xingyuan, for sure. It looks like the starry sky has been completely eroded by Xingyuan!"

The Yanjia Starry Sky has undoubtedly become a part of Xingyuan, so they can see here the places that Ziji once knew.

When the ghost sedan chair took them away, the Xingyuan Gates in various parts of the Yanjia Starry Sky began to expand on a large scale. It has only been a few years? The entire starry sky has actually fallen completely.

There was not a single living thing nearby, and even the Hekan Battle Fort was destroyed. One can imagine what a brutal battle this place had gone through.

Realizing this, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

Such a vast starry sky has actually become a part of the Star Abyss. The fate of countless creatures in the entire starry sky can be imagined.

"There's movement over there." Lu Ye suddenly looked in a certain direction. Although it was very faint, the aftermath of a fight was indeed heard from there.

Everyone looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they activated their magic, restrained their own aura, and used their own methods to rush in that direction.

After a moment, the scene in front came into view.

It turned out to be a tattered Yanjia that was dealing with the siege of several Xingyuan monks.

The battle was very noisy, which showed that both sides were strong.

After several years of fighting, Lu Ye and others naturally accumulated experience in judging the strength of Xingyuan monks, so just from the aftermath of this confrontation, it was clear that the Yanjia monk was a seven-fold cultivator, and the several Xingyuan monks who besieged him were six or five-fold cultivators.

In terms of strength, the Yanjia monk is stronger, but he is obviously at the end of his strength and is unable to deal with the enemy's siege.

This was definitely not the only battle he had encountered, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into such a desperate situation with his strength as Qi Dao.

In this situation, Lu Ye and the others just exchanged glances and then acted in tacit understanding.

Lu Ye rushed towards the battlefield first, and the others followed closely behind.

Both sides in the battle were shocked. No one expected that a third party would show up at such a critical moment. The several Xingyuan monks who were besieging the Yanjia monk immediately moved away to investigate the situation.

But how could the Yanjia monk do as they wished? To him, it didn't matter whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend. He had already used his secret technique to fight for his life. He would not survive this battle regardless of success or failure. It would be a great honor if he could drag a few people down with him before he died.

With a sudden burst of energy, he killed five enemies.

Before the other Xingyuan monks could stand firmly, they were surrounded and attacked by Lu Ye and others like a storm.

They were outnumbered and outmatched in strength. Since Lu Ye and the others took action, the fate of these Xingyuan monks had been sealed.

After a few breaths, Lu Ye put away his sword and turned to look at the Yanjia monk.

The other party did not look at him, but stared at Zi Ji steadily. Then, a gentle woman's voice came from Yan Jia: "Zi Ji?"

The voice was full of disbelief: "You are still alive?"

She obviously knew Zi Ji, but according to the information she received later, Zi Ji was captured by a sedan chair that suddenly appeared and there had been no news of him since then. However, she didn't expect to see him here again after a few years.

Zi Ji took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Fort Nan Lord!"

This Yanjia monk was actually the lord of Hekan War Fort. When Zi Ji first entered the fort, he had met her once, but he didn't expect that she still remembered him.

Nanbao Lord looked at Lu Ye and the others again, and her loud laughter came from her tattered Yan armor: "Okay, okay, the fire of this starry sky has not been extinguished, so there is still hope."

She obviously mistook Lu Ye and others for people from Yanjia Xingkong.

As she spoke, her body shook, and the tattered armor instantly broke into countless pieces and fell apart. Inside the armor, the figure of a white-haired old woman was revealed.

Zi Ji's eyes narrowed.

Because when I first met the Lord of Nan Castle, she was still a charming lady, but now she has become like this. It is impossible for a Seventh Path cultivator to have such a huge change in appearance in just a few years. The only explanation is that she performed some desperate secret technique and overdrew herself seriously.

Not only did the Lord of Nan Castle have a drastic change in appearance, he also had many shocking wounds on his body. He was so thin that he was just skin and bones, as if all the blood had been drained out of his body.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh. He could tell at a glance that the Lord of Nan Castle was not going to survive. Now he was still alive, but was just barely lingering on.

"Does the castle lord have any last words?" Zi Ji asked.

He didn't have much friendship with Lord Nan, and they had only met once before, but the scene before him still made him feel sad.

Will the current fate of Yanjia Starry Sky be the future of Wanxianghai Starry Sky?

“Haha…” Fort Nan smiled miserably, “No need for any last words. I have fought all my life, and dying here today is like being buried in a horse’s hide. The starry sky has been eroded, and there is no pure land anymore. You must be careful in the future and make sure to survive.”

Zi Ji moved his lips, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"And..." While Nanbao Lord was speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and inserted it into her abdomen. With a fierce tug, a rib was pulled out. Her body trembled violently. She endured the pain and gritted her teeth and said, "This bone still has some Taoist power left. Take it and refine it."

She threw it with force, and the bloody Taoist bone flew towards Zi Ji.

Zi Ji grabbed him, and when he looked again, the Lord of Nan Castle had already lowered his head, and all life was gone.

Holding the Taoist bone, Zi Ji was speechless for a long time.

It was not until Lu Ye activated the flames and burned the corpse of the Nanbao Lord that Zi Ji exhaled and said, "Let's go."

After a moment, Lu Ye said, "Do you have anything to contact the Yanjia Starry Sky Monk?"

The appearance of Lord Nan made him realize that although the Yanjia Starry Sky had been eroded, there should still be cultivators alive. The cultivators who could survive under such a situation would not be too weak. If they could get in touch with them, they could strengthen the team's strength.

The cultivators of Yanjia Starry Sky are still trustworthy. After all, everyone is united in their stance against Xingyuan.

Zhong Yue scratched his face when he heard this: "Yes, there is, but there is no one to contact!"

Not only him, but everyone else is the same.

Although everyone received the communication devices specially developed by Yanjia Xingkong after entering the various war fortresses, almost everyone at that time was practicing in seclusion on the edge of the battlefield, trying to build their Taoist foundation, and had no interaction with others at all.

Even for Lu Ye, the only person he can contact here is Du Qingsha!

However, Lu Ye had no idea whether Du Qingsha was still alive. When he was taken away by the ghost sedan that day, he and Du Qingsha were being chased by a large number of Xingyuan monks. In that situation, there was little hope for Du Qingsha to survive.

But you can try it after all.

For the next period of time, Lu Ye tried to contact Du Qingsha while leading the team forward.

I met many Xingyuan monks, but never met any Yanjia Xingkong monks.

It was not until March that Lu Ye tried again and successfully got in touch with Du Qingsha!

This woman...is not dead!
After a brief exchange, Lu Ye led the team towards where Du Qingsha was.
