I am darkness, I will suppress all enemies

holy city.

After dozens of days of non-stop travel, Xiang Guang and his group finally returned to this place of faith.

Looking at the huge city that was still magnificent, more than a dozen of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Haha, I'm really afraid that what I'll see when I come back is a ruin." Someone said self-deprecatingly.

"Yes, if the Holy City really becomes a ruin, I believe I won't be too shocked."

"You all go back and rest first, I'm going to the temple." Xiang Guang left these words and then left alone.

Walking alone in the holy city, looking at the still bustling streets and pedestrians, Xiang Guang's heart became heavier.

Many people on the street greeted Xiang Guang when they saw him. Some ordinary residents greeted him, and some holy city guards saluted him.

"Master Xiang Guang, have you completed the mission? You are worthy of me."

Xiang Guang said nothing, did not respond to those who greeted him, and just walked alone in silence.

Walking through the crowded streets, soon there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road until they disappeared.

And at this time he also arrived at the gate of the temple.

When the guards on both sides saw that it was him, they opened the door tacitly and then saluted him respectfully.

Xiang Guang paused at the door for a long time, and then, under the increasingly surprised looks of the guards on both sides, he stepped inside.

The door slowly closed.

The hall was still extremely empty, with only Xiang Guang's footsteps echoing.

Soon, Xiang Guang arrived at the depths of the hall. He slowly paused and looked up.

There was a person standing there, not the Holy Lord, but the divine general, a beautiful girl in a white dress.

Yu Huaqing seemed to be waiting for him here in advance. When she saw Xiang Guang, she stretched out her hand to signal Xiang Guang to follow her.

Without any hesitation, Xiang Guang followed Yu Huaqing to the back of the hall.

The two looked at each other in silence as they walked through the dark and narrow corridor, and then came to a wooden door.

crunch...

The old wooden door was slowly pushed open, light appeared, and the scene behind the wooden door appeared in the eyes of the two.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Xiang Guang was still shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Yellowed grass, unimaginably huge ancient trees, and a white-haired girl standing under the giant trees.

"Greetings, Holy Lord." Xiang Guang immediately knelt on one knee.

Yu Huaqing stood aside in silence.

"Xiang Guang, thank you for your hard work this time." The white-haired girl turned around, looked at Xiang Guang and spoke calmly.

"My Lord, I failed." After a pause, Xiang Guang spoke in a deep voice.

"We are no match for that ghost, far from it. This time, I'm afraid..."

"I know."

Contrary to Xiang Guang's expectations, the Holy Lord's reaction was extremely calm, as if he already knew everything.

"We're all going to die this time."

Xiang Guang's body trembled when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Is there no hope at all?"

"When Pinghua Town was gone, there was a glimmer of hope for the future, but that glimmer of hope has disappeared with the passage of time."

"At this point, our fate is already determined and cannot be changed."

Hearing this, Xiang Guang fell silent, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Go, do what you want to do." After saying this, the Holy Lord turned around and no longer looked at the light.

Soon, Xiang Guang stood up, looked at the giant tree that was turning yellow and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, then turned and left without saying a word.

Yu Huaqing looked at his back with some reluctance in her eyes, then turned to look at the white-haired girl and said:

"You should give him some hope, so that even if he dies, he won't die in despair."

"Is that so? You are right, but in this world, having hope is our greatest despair."

The white-haired girl looked up at the towering tree that was already half withered and yellow, and spoke slowly.

"Because we have been struggling to survive with hope for countless years."

“Every time I was on the verge of extinction, I was pulled back by hope. And then I continued to live in this hopeless world.”

"Now that hope has completely disappeared, in fact, in a way, this is also good, everyone can be relieved and have a good rest..."

After hearing the white-haired girl's words, Yu Huaqing didn't say anything more.

During this time, she learned a lot.

I know that the struggle between humans and ghosts in this world has been going on for countless years.

This is an extremely cruel world where mortals struggle to survive, facing the brink of extinction time and time again, but still survive tenaciously.

Ghosts are endless and appear every once in a while to slaughter mortals. Wherever they go, the world is polluted and no grass grows.

In such a cruel world, death may be the best relief for mortals.

She was also sure that something was wrong with the Luoshen Ruins, but she didn't know the reason and couldn't guess it. All she could do was wait for things to develop...

After Xiang Guang left the temple, he did not give up everything. He did one thing, which was to mobilize the entire holy city's defense force.

There is only one goal, and that is to create hope.

Even if this hope did not exist at all, as the Holy Lord said, he was still unwilling to just wait for death.

Unexpectedly, the guardian forces of the entire holy city cooperated with Xiang Guang.

It was obvious that this was the Holy Lord's intention. She made arrangements in advance and asked everyone in the Holy City to obey Xiang Guang's orders.

Xiang Guang took one last look in the direction of the temple, then turned to look at the ignorant children on the roadside, the worried women, the excited young men, and the panicked elderly people.

Then his hesitant look gradually became firm...

------

Another ten days later.

Ye Wukuang destroyed the town in front of him, and then looked at the ghost beast under his feet that had reached its limit.

By this point, he had massacred every town on the map.

The Blood Jade host has not yet been found

But now there is only one place where a large number of living beings and external monks still exist.

That is the holy city located in a remote place, behind the mountains, far away from other towns...
