Mu Qizhou held her hand and signaled her not to worry:
"If you can think of it, can't Senior Brother think of it? He can bring immortal soldiers to the underworld to ask for people, so he must have convinced the Heavenly Lord. If you go, you will walk into a trap."
In this battle, Taoist Wuliang didn't care about his true identity being exposed, and it seemed that he had already made sufficient preparations.
Based on Mu Qizhou's understanding of him, he is definitely not someone who would easily stop fighting. Today's move was just a test.
The real trouble is yet to come.
Shen Nanyi's feelings towards Taoist Wuliang have changed from gratitude to hatred:
"But he is the one who started it all. If we don't testify against him, are we just going to let him get away with it?"
"Remember, his goal is the sacred tree Fusang, and the key to finding the sacred tree is you. That's why he went to great lengths to drive you into a dead end and force you to surrender. As long as I'm here, I will never let him take you away!"
Mu Qizhou's keen eyes had already seen through the essence of this battle.
Taoist Wuliang not only wants to capture Shen Nanyi, but also wants to use the power of the fairy world to take him down as well.
Therefore, we have to fight this battle today even if we don’t want to. We have no choice.
It was just a pity for these innocent soldiers. Mu Qizhou felt sad when he saw the injured soldiers of the underworld.
Shen Nanyi gritted his teeth and cursed: "The Lord is really old and confused!"
"You don't know the inside story." Mu Qizhou touched her hair lovingly:
"Back then, the Saint of the Ghost Realm was the Lord of the Netherworld. It is said that she fell in love with an ancient Immortal Lord, turned love into hatred, and led tens of thousands of ghost soldiers to sweep across the three realms, causing rivers of blood. She was later killed by the Immortal Realm. After her, the Netherworld welcomed the God of Mount Tai as its new Lord. Therefore, the Lords of Mount Tai from generation to generation must give up their seven emotions and six desires in order to guard the Nine Netherworlds with a pure heart. I'm afraid that the Heavenly Venerable is still worried this time, and is worried that you and I will repeat the same mistake."
He shouldn't have said these things. The reason why the two of them fell in love thousands of years ago was accused of violating the Way of Heaven was because of this Heavenly Rule.
But love is a matter of course not fake, and after being reborn, he still fell in love with Shen Nanyiyi and couldn't extricate himself.
"But I have a clear conscience. I haven't hurt anyone by being with you."
Mu Qizhou just looked at her quietly, his eyes were deep and firm, like a vast blue ocean, supporting her lonely boat and moving forward with her.
She met his gaze, and her heart gradually calmed down.
She would never be afraid of being abandoned again, because his love was like the boundless ocean, broad and deep.
"But you also said that Taoist Wuliang almost died in his attempt to destroy the Holy Maiden of the Ghost Realm. Why did such a saint become the man in black robes today?" Shen Nanyi was puzzled.
Mu Qizhou shook his head in frustration and stroked his face:
"Heaven and earth sigh that I am stubborn and refuse to change. What does he mean by this?"
"An ancient god like Taoist Wuliang also has obsessions in his heart?"
Shen Nanyi held his chin with his hand and looked at Mu Qizhou: "Could it be that he is also unable to get the love he wants?"
"Love but cannot obtain it?" Mu Qizhou laughed and waved his hands: "Impossible, he has lived for thousands of years, he is ruthless and has no desires, I have never heard that he has been close to women, how can he not be loved?"
"But I saw that his eyes were very sad when he said this just now. I have also experienced that kind of grief, the pain of losing a loved one."
She was sure of it, otherwise it wouldn't resonate with her.
Mu Qizhou smiled, his eyes full of melancholy:
"I hope your guess is true. If he had experienced such an experience, he should not have done evil and separated us."
"Yes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Oh!"
Shen Nanyi patted his shoulder lightly and helped him stand up: "Go back."
*
Mu Qizhuo returned to the meeting hall, where a large crowd of people were waiting for him.
Seeing that he had something important to do, Shen Nanyi went to the side hall to take a short rest.
Her mouth was dry, so she poured herself a cup of tea and swallowed it in one gulp. Her smoking throat finally calmed down.
When I looked up, I saw Meng Chun coming in.
"The Lord is in a meeting. Let me see how you are? Are you injured?"
Meng Chun was thoughtful and brought a lot of bottles and jars of medicine.
Shen Nanyi raised his hand and looked, only to find that his arms and clothes were cut by the sword, but the wounds were not serious.
"It's okay. It's just a minor injury. I can just apply some medicine myself."
Meng Chun: "Hey, don't be careless. It's not good for a girl to have scars. Come on, let me apply ointment on you."
Shen Nanyi lifted up her clothes, revealing several wounds on her arms, waist and abdomen, which was shocking.
Meng Chun sprinkled the powder on the wound, and she felt the pain piercing her heart. She gritted her teeth and asked:
"If the immortal and the dark worlds go to war, will everyone hate me?"
"Nonsense, why should I hate you? Those gods in the Ninth Heaven have their eyes in the sky, who do they think they are? How can I let them bully my huge underworld?"
Meng Chun was filled with indignation and regretted that he did not go into battle with a sword.
"Will the adults resent Azhou?"
Shen Nanyiyi was very worried. Those old guys were afraid of this and that. If a war broke out this time, they would spit so much that they would drown Mu Qizhuo.
"Hey, you're wrong! The Ten Kings of Hell are usually chatterboxes, each with their own opinions; today, on the contrary, they all share a common hatred for the enemy, and unanimously praised the Lord of the Underworld for his domineering demeanor. Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being a domineering CEO in the world of the living, handsome!"
"Is it true?" Why was Shen Nanyi so unconvinced? Normally he just held her hand, but those old antiques made Mu Qizhou think twice.
"Of course it's true. We in the Underworld have been enduring this for thousands of years. Back then, our Saint..."
After Meng Chun blurted out the words, he realized that it was inappropriate and immediately covered his mouth.
But Shen Nanyi had already caught the key words in her words: "Saintess, but the Saintess of the Ghost Realm?"
Meng Chun asked in surprise: "How do you know her?"
"Azhou told me that three thousand years ago, the master of the underworld was the Saint of the Ghost Realm, but she used Jianmu to sweep across the three realms and was killed by the Immortal Realm."
At this point, Shen Nanyi's eyes lit up and he looked at Meng Chun:
"Oh, by the way, you are the oldest person alive, you must know something about this, tell me quickly."
Meng Chun flung her handkerchief pretentiously to cover her face: "Nonsense, I'm still young!"
"Yes, yes, you are immortal, always eighteen, and beautiful as a flower. I mean you have a lot of experience and know a lot."
Shen Nanyi pulled her arm and acted coquettishly: "Please tell me quickly, I'm really curious."
Meng Chun walked to the door, looked outside the hall, and then carefully closed the door:
"Hey, let's talk in private. You have to promise not to tell even the Lord of the Mansion about these things."
Shen Nanyi immediately put his two fingers together and placed them next to his ears: "I promise, I won't reveal a single word."
"Okay, okay, I'm the only one in the underworld who knows about this."
Meng Chun picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. Then he looked up with mist in his eyes:
"Because I was once a maid of the Saint of the Ghost Realm."
