The wind whistled, causing the robes on their bodies to flutter.
The wind on the Duxu Peak never dissipated. Perhaps it was due to the suppression of the Peak Lords' auras, but the current Duxu Peak seemed even colder.
Chu Chen and Zi Xi walked out of Zhao Shi's cave residence amidst the howling wind. They strolled through the dense bamboo forest, listening to the bamboo leaves rustling in the wind. Their expressions were somewhat strange.
"You should leave."
After the two had walked for about a quarter of an hour, Chu Chen suddenly stopped and spoke to Zi Xi with a solemn expression.
"Although the Duxu Peak has been sealed by the Peak Lords, you still have a chance to escape with my help. After all, you have a space-type ability like the Void Transference Technique. Those Peak Lords may not be able to completely stop you! "
The girl's figure stiffened slightly. At this moment, countless rays of light flashed through her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she nodded lightly. "I will leave, but not now. Although the Peak Lords have already left, their consciousnesses are still firmly monitoring the entire Duxu Peak. I'm afraid I'll be caught as soon as I leave. I'd be walking right into a trap. "
"Then you mean …"
Chu Chen frowned slightly.
"If I want to escape, I'll have to wait until seven days later, when the Ten Terminal Formation is destroyed. At that time, everyone's focus will be on you. No one will pay attention to me. That will be the best time for me to escape. "
"Oh, is that what you're thinking?"
Chu Chen's lips curled. He clearly didn't believe the girl's words and silently glanced at her.
"Of course."
Zi Xi's expression was still indifferent, but a trace of fluctuation involuntarily appeared in the depths of her eyes.
The fluctuation was extremely faint, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Chu Chen nodded silently and didn't say anything.
After a while, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, I have a question for you. Is that okay?"
"Ask away."
Zi Xi gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Her light purple hair swayed in the wind, creating an enchanting arc.
At this moment, a faint and gentle aura suddenly appeared in the void. It was a gentleness that seemed to be mixed with an unknown fragrance. It gently floated in the air and gently drilled into the bottom of one's heart like thin cotton.
"Are you …"
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth twitched. After a long silence, he seemed to be carefully considering his words. "Do you often lose some of your memories?"
Hmm?
Ripples suddenly appeared in Zi Xi's light purple eyes. Zi Xi was stunned for a moment before he nodded subconsciously. "How did you know?"
"I remember that you met that old man from the Duan Xiong in the Yin Mountain Secret Realm. But the last time we went to the Black Blood Auction House, you didn't seem to remember the Duan Xiong at all. "
"Yes. I was born with an incomplete soul. So, many times, I automatically erase some unnecessary memories. It's an instinct. Otherwise, it would be very tiring. "
Zi Xi's voice didn't have any fluctuations of emotion.
"If that's the case, will your memories of me be erased one day, and then you'll completely forget about me?"
Chu Chen's voice was very soft, as if he had just asked a question unintentionally. However, the purple-haired girl's calm eyes instantly stirred up stormy waves.
"I, I don't know …"
At this moment, the girl's voice seemed to tremble.
Would she forget about him?
Zi Xi really didn't know. In fact, because she was born with an incomplete soul, Zi Xi's memories were completely out of her control.
Sometimes, when she wanted to remember something, she would forget it completely.
Sometimes, the things she wanted to forget would still appear clearly in her mind, and she couldn't erase them no matter how hard she tried.
At this moment, a trace of sadness appeared in the purple-haired girl's eyes.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly hoped that her memories wouldn't disappear. If only her soul was complete … if everything could be just a little more perfect, that would really be great.
That way, she wouldn't forget this bad guy, right?!
As she thought of this, she shook her head sadly. A gust of wind blew past, causing her waterfall-like purple hair to dance in the wind.
The faint fragrance in the air that was filled with a gentle aura was unprecedentedly strong, and it was almost irresistible.
The young man and woman stood in the wind, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.
However, the seven-day deadline arrived in the blink of an eye.
The seventh day!
It was the day that the Peak Masters of Gufeng City descended. It was also the day that the Duxu Peak Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial Demons was about to run out of fuel. According to Zhao Shi's prophecy, it was the last day of the Duxu Peak.
As if only one night had passed, the color of the sky above the Duxu Peak suddenly changed. A dark red curtain of light covered the sky, enveloping the entire space. The air was filled with an intense aura of killing intent.
Above the Duxu Peak, ten dazzling blood-red suns hung high in the sky, radiating endless light and heat in all directions.
Vaguely, one could see a tall figure standing silently in the sky within each of the blood-red suns.
Those figures didn't make any other movements. They merely stood in the sky above the Duxu Peak, and everyone felt as if ten mountains were pressing down on them, almost suffocating them.
Pairs of cold and arrogant eyes looked down from the nine heavens, as if an ancient god was about to pass judgment on life.
Feeling the enormous pressure from the ten suns, the black demonic dragon formed by the Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial Demons revealed its body and roared at the sun in the sky.
However, the black demonic dragon's body was faint, and fine cracks covered its long body. It looked as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Obviously, the Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial Demons was about to reach its limit. This ancient formation, which represented the last hope of the Duxu Peak, was on the verge of collapse.
Once this last barrier disappeared, under the joint attack of the ten Peak Masters, one could almost imagine that the Duxu Peak would become a hell filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood!!
At this moment, in the face of this disaster that could come at any time, many disciples of the Duxu Peak were still doing their own things, which was rare for them. They did not fall into hysterical panic.
This was because in these seven days of despair, everyone had slowly calmed down. Either way, they were going to die.
Take Feng Qiang for example. Last night, he patrolled the mountain according to his usual routine. In the end, he fell asleep on a big tree at the foot of the mountain, and only woke up on the tenth day.
