Xue Wendi didn't want to entangle her more, so he retreated while fighting.But Helan Jiayin had no intention of giving up, and was determined to put him to death.Xue Wendi frowned: "Is this the right protector for real?"

"Of course." Helan Jiayin pierced through the void with a sword, and the sword pointed straight at Xue Wendi's front. The opponent blocked it with a sword, quite a bit teasing: "The right guardian does this, isn't it afraid that the devil will be angry?"

"If the devil is angry, why hasn't he shown up yet?" He Lan Jiayin's eyes were cold, "I'm afraid, he can't come?"

Xue Wendi immediately withdrew his sword and backed away: "The right protector is a smart man, so I won't accompany you, leave!"

"Want to run?"

Helan Jiayin lowered the barrier almost instantly, and the black cage was no different from the night many years ago.

Xue Wendi was trapped again.

Only this time, he was not in front of the lantern shop, there was no kind-hearted grandma, there was no senior alcoholic watching on the roof, there were no friends who fought side by side, no one who needed his protection.

Xue Wendi sneered: "It turns out that we met each other many years ago, Guardian Right."

"Lian Feng is the sister of my family that I grew up with. If she wants to climb up, someone is destined to be the cornerstone. I just helped her." He Lanjiayin put her fingers together and stroked Passing the sword's edge, the thin blood line smeared the cold iron, and the demonic energy rose, "It's a pity that you were allowed to escape that year."

Xue Wendi casually held a sword flower: "That's just right."

His eyes suddenly changed, "Blood debt is paid in blood, and I will ask you to get it back tonight."

The cloudy moon over the demon city was stained with a strong blood color, and the sky was about to change.The misty moonlight pouring down diffused over the window sill, and the emerald green grass stems in the white jade bottle were still swaying gently in the faint wind.

Xue Si was still lying quietly with her eyes closed and her breathing steady.Xue Wendi originally planned to sneak into the magic gathering pool, so he played a trick and cast a curse on this person so that he would not wake up for a while.

Xue Simeng dreamed that on a midsummer night, by the ancient well under the moonlight, there was a man taking a shower with his back turned to him.The cool well water splashed down from the top of the head, trickled down the smooth back, and a few drops even splashed on the bright red medicine petals beside the well.

Xue Si stood silently in the dark, waiting for the man to turn around.He had a strange premonition in his heart, he was sure that the man would turn around and give him the two freshly picked red medicines.

But the man didn't.

The sound of the water was getting louder and louder, filling his eardrums, and Xue Si always felt that he was soaking in a wide river, drifting with the current.

His white jade bottle was also washed over by the waves and fell into his arms.

Xue Si subconsciously clenched it tightly and covered her heart.When he was confused, he seemed to hear a familiar voice rambling.

"I don't know if Master will be angry with me."

A dense forest appeared in front of Xue Si, under the trees in the forest, there was a piece of muddy land where not a blade of grass grew, and a man was sitting on it, with his back leaning on a machete, his head bowed, not knowing what he was doing.

But Xue Si could clearly hear him talking, he said: "Master, I still want to be your apprentice in the next life."

It was obviously a very light sentence, but when it fell on Xue Si's heart, it was deafening and echoed continuously.The loess gradually rotted, and a grass seed tenaciously sprouted and grew leaves.The wind in the forest was extremely strong, and the only remaining blade of grass was crushed to this side, and it was about to be broken several times.But it survived tenaciously.

"Master, I picked fresh flowers for you."

"Master, why do you always hit me with this weed?"

"Master, can I talk to you?"

"Master, I'm a little lonely."

……

The emerald green grass stalks turned into a wisp of spiritual energy, which penetrated Xue Si's wrist into his blood.It was transformed by Xue Wendi's last trace of true energy before he was alive, and now, following Xue Wendi's will, it broke through the layers of imprisonment imposed on Xue Si by the devil's blood.

This is Xue Wendi's love.

Xue Si opened his eyes suddenly, the white jade bottle was already empty.He spread out his palm, and a hot aura that didn't belong to him came from his wrist, which was very hot and painful.

The night wind was blowing, but there was no one on the bed.

Hengyan's sword blared fiercely, and the sword energy burst open the locked cage. Xue Wendi was covered in blood and wrestled with Helan Jiayin.Both of them were red-eyed and refused to retreat.There were dark shadows in the demon capital, and strange monsters were gathering towards Xue Wendi, but before they got close, they were repelled by the terrifying sword energy.

Helan Jiayin's face had black lines, which made those golden eyes even more strange. She said sharply, "Xue Wendi, today is your death day!"

"Oh? Really?" Xue Wendi's voice was hoarse, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.He knew that in this case, his chances of winning were slim.Xue Si formed a pact with him, on the one hand to protect him, and on the other hand to curb his own aura, not to mention that the Demon Gathering Pool attacked him before and robbed him of [-]% of his cultivation.Although Helan Jiayin had just woken up, he was the protector of the Demon City after all. If he was determined to fight quickly or fight him to the death, he might really die.

Xue Wendi wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, the horizontal sword blocked Helan Jiayin's sword edge, and the cold iron made a piercing sound, and the two could even clearly see their distressed appearance from each other's eyes.

"Why do you need to be so hard to force the right guard?" Xue Wendi exerted his strength, and the sword energy swept across, shaking Helan Jiayin a few feet away, "Even if I sacrifice tonight, and the magic gathering pool returns to normal, you can guarantee the safety of the magic city." Won't the tragedy repeat itself?"

He raised his sword and pressed forward step by step: "The Right Protector has also lost his clansmen, and was seriously injured by the mad Lord, why is he still obsessed with it?"

Helan Jiayin spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked disdainfully: "The pool of demons is in our hands, and my demon city will not be subject to your righteous way. Who would be willing to hand over their sword to the enemy?"

A drop of blood fell from her forehead and fell into her eyes. He Lan Jiayin swung his sword brazenly, but Xue Wendi didn't dodge it, and resisted the move.He Lan Jiayin was stunned for a moment, but saw that the opponent held her sword with his backhand, and Hengyan slashed down in the air, piercing her heart.

Helan Jiayin's eyes widened.

"Then, I'll send the right protector to the road respectfully." Xue Wendi chuckled coldly, and spiritual energy poured into the Hengyan sword. He Lan Jiayin didn't even have time to cry out in pain, his body exploded immediately, and blood splashed everywhere.Her sword and her Xiao shattered together, and fell to the ground with a "clang", Xue Wendi also groaned, spitting out a big mouthful of blood.

The surrounding monsters rushed over like a tide, Xue Wendi's hand holding the sword was covered with cold sweat, Hengyan was knocked down by one of the wild wolves, and slid down the steps.Xue Wendi tried to recall it, but was exhausted.He thought he had to live.

The sky is spinning in front of my eyes, and there are weird shadows everywhere.Xue Wendi doesn't care what it is anymore, he fights purely on instinct, without a sword, he still has some spiritual skills.

There were wailing sounds everywhere in my ears, and rivers of blood flowed.

It's not that Xue Wendi has never seen this kind of scene, he has seen it too much.On the cliff, by the river, outside the village, in the ancient woods...his friends, his comrades, and even the unarmed and weak people, the past scenes are all tragedies that he tried his best to recover.

In Xue Wendi's chaotic mind, a trace of joy that he had never felt before emerged.What Helan Jiayin said is correct, the devil city and the righteous way are inherently irreconcilable, it was he who stubbornly wanted to find a compromise, thinking that there must be a way to push everything back on track.But now, only destruction can bring new life, and only when the rotting past is burned away can the future grow new.

Indeed it is.

He laughed softly, and a bright sword light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.The monsters that surrounded him scattered, giving way for a bloody path.Xue Wendi stepped on the blood and staggered down the steps.

He couldn't see Xue Si's face clearly, he only saw Xue Si running over in a hurry and reaching out to hug him.

"It hurts." Xue Wendi wanted to leave this man's embrace dissatisfied. He opened his eyes blankly, trying to see Xue Si's face clearly, but he couldn't.He curled his mouth and felt wronged: "I really hate you."

"Small building."

So familiar, this title.Before Xue Wendi came back to his senses, he passed out completely.

In an instant, a huge explosion occurred in the entire hall, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the soaring devilish energy almost completely enveloped the Night City.Xue Si hugged Xue Wendi horizontally and opened the barrier.Countless pairs of eyes opened in the dark night, rustling sounds, hoarse calls, and familiar breaths.

He Lan Jiayin was wearing a pure black cloak and standing on a high place.Behind her, a pair of wings with protruding bony joints appeared, resembling bats.

That's the Left Protector of the Devil City——Zhao Xunchuan.

Shen Jingyue was going to go to Sun Yize's place, and even touched the closed door, but she was startled suddenly, and looked up.Linyuan's evil spirit transmission sound transmission bells echoed in the empty valley, and they were as dense as waves—this is not a good omen.

Shen Jing frowned more, but Fu Ji came out. When he saw her, he was slightly taken aback: "Master Shen Mai?"

"Bring your sword, follow me." Shen Jingyue glanced at the black cat on his shoulder, turned and left without saying a word.It just so happened that Sun Yi also pushed the wheelchair out, and Fu Ji pushed him along with him.

Cao Ruoyu was still sleeping soundly, but was finally woken up after being hammered twice by Wen Ke with the Mingshu sword.

"Get up, something has happened!"

Wen Ke yelled, Cao Ruoyu rubbed his eyes, got off the bed Mimi stared, and slapped him again: "Wake up!"

"Ah, good." Cao Ruoyu shook his head, trying to wake himself up, and hurried to Zhiyang Palace with Wen Ke.

There is only one possibility for such a sound from the evil spirit transmission bell - something serious happened in Night City.

When they arrived, many people had already gathered in the hall.Cao Ruoyu glanced at his senior brothers and walked over silently.Wen Ke took a step forward and asked eagerly, "Sister, how is the situation now?"

"The spies in front haven't reported back yet." Gu Qing's face was serious, "However, the strong demon energy erupted in Ye City this time, and the situation is very pessimistic. It is very likely—"

She glanced at the juniors at Sui Hanfeng, suddenly pursed her lower lip, and shook her head slightly.

Shen Jingyue said: "It's not the worst time yet, if we set off now, Xue Si and Xue Wendi still have a chance."

"Our current strength can only be said to enter Night City safely, but what happens after entering?" Gu Qing frowned deeply, "Ten years ago when the Immortal Dao was prosperous, we couldn't cross the Bone River. Now—"

"Immortal Dao is declining. Could it be that the Demon City has recovered from its failure?" Shen Jingyue is quite open-minded, "Instead of being timid here, it's better to fight hard, and it's not certain who will win the battle."

Gu Qing was startled, and squeezed his palms tightly. Shen Jingyue continued to persuade her: "Elder Gu, Senior Gu, Sister Gu, I know you don't want to see these juniors get hurt, but is there a way for both to be safe in this world?"

"Then we can't let them go to die!" Gu Qing was a little agitated, the hall was silent for a moment, and then a very soft answer sounded: "I am willing."

It was Cao Ruoyu who spoke.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was a little timid and stood behind his second senior brother.Fu Ji also responded, "I am willing."

Fu Ji's performance was more frank. He stood silently, accepting the surprised or probing eyes of everyone present.

"I am willing too." Zhang He, who has always had a low sense of presence, said the same thing calmly.

Gu Qing pursed his lips tightly and looked at him steadily: "You don't even have a sword, what can I say?"

Zhang He blushed and refused to argue.

"Linyuan's Sword Forging Pond can no longer be opened after being attacked by the Demon Capital last time, and now it can't forge swords for you at all." Gu Qing choked up as he spoke, and Zhang He rubbed his palm: "It's okay , I'll figure it out myself."

Wen Ke said softly, "I'll help you."

Zhang He lowered his head slightly: "Thank you."

"I want to go too, Master." Sun Yi said. Gu Qing wanted to scold him for being a fool, but when the words came to his lips, he restrained himself.Sun Yi looked at Shen Jingyue: "I heard from Master Shen Mai that she can heal my leg. I want to go, Master."

"Then come back with a whole body injured?" Gu Qing glared at him.

Cao Ruoyu remembered something, and grabbed Fu Ji's arm tightly, but the other party just patted the back of his hand, reassuring him not to be afraid.Sun Yi said nothing, and everyone in the hall remained silent.

The atmosphere was deadlocked, and no one let go first.

After a long time, Cao Ruoyu suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and Mingshu emitted a clear sword light.He had a feeling in his heart, so he wanted to speak out, but he heard someone whispering in his ear: "Shh, don't move around."

Cao Ruoyu had no choice but to stand obediently, peeking at Gu Qing from the corner of his eye.

The other party naturally also noticed his abnormality, stared at the long sword that had accompanied him for ten years, and thought of the scene of someone with an unshaven beard wandering away with his wine jar in his hand.

The world is full of the pain of parting, no one can be spared, the only difference is whether it comes late or comes early.

Gu Qing let out a breath slowly, I don't know if he was relieved, and his expression was delicate: "My brother's old sword is still with me, it was forged by the head of the sect first, I will erase the signature for you, you can use it for now .”

Zhang He didn't seem to realize that the other party was talking to him, so he froze and didn't move. It was Fu Ji who answered for him: "Thank you, Elder Gu."

Gu Qing didn't answer, and walked towards Li Xian: "Good boy, where did you hide the key?"

"Under the maple tree in the pine forest and bamboo sea, a big stone just presses on it."

Li Xian answered truthfully, which caused Gu Qing to have an extremely complicated sense of fate.

As time goes by, everything seems to be back to the original point.

She collected her senior's belongings and hid them in Mingshu Pavilion, and Li Xian hid the key in that, her favorite place when she was young.

Things are people and nothing is done, and tears shed first.

Gu Qing retrieved the key and opened the wooden box that had been dusty for a long time.It was not destroyed in that attack, but was preserved by being buried in the rubble.

The long sword in the box is as old as before, with "Heguang" engraved on one side and "Jichu" engraved on the other side, the sword is full of light, silently telling the past.

Gu Qing murmured: "Brother, you have a spirit in the sky, so please bless us."

When she unsealed Night City, the ever-burning lamp never responded, so she thought that Sun Xuehua's soul had been completely burned out.So there is no spirit in the sky.But even so, she still prayed to her senior brother to bless them through this difficult time.

Cao Ruoyu was in the crowd and pulled Wen Ke back in a low voice: "Elder Wen, didn't you tell Sister Gu about Senior Sun?"

"Eldest brother won't let me tell you."

"Huh?" Cao Ruoyu was a little annoyed, "I thought you said everything in your letter, so I didn't say much."

Wen Ke glanced at him, and said softly: "It's unnecessary, talking about it will only increase Sister Gu's pain."

"Then, then we have to say goodbye."

"What I did ten years ago, I don't need to do it again." Wen Ke didn't know how to explain it to this simple boy, so he could only sigh slightly.

Seeing this, Cao Ruoyu had no choice but to keep the secret tight.
