Hundreds of thousands of years later, when Xiao Hui broke out of the seal with Lin Buzheng's help, the world had changed dramatically. Compared to the world in Xiao Hui's memory, this world had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Both acquaintances and enemies had passed away, leaving only the old wonton seller, who ran the unchanging wonton shop. He was busy day after day, waiting for the fated person to come.
Finally, Lin Buzheng and Xiao Hui left the quiet and empty wonton shop and returned to the crowded Ghost City. The huge difference between the environment before and after made Lin Buzheng sigh, as if it was a lifetime ago.
During this trip to the Ghost City, Lin Buzheng had obtained a mysterious skull, ten pieces of Quasi-emperor level Soul Wood, a piece of high-grade Heaven-Step Spirit Soil, and a Dragon Snake Lotus. The harvest was plentiful, enough to make a Heavenly Venerable or even a King jealous, and he could leave in satisfaction.
"Oh no!"
"The creature that has been following us has caught up, it's really haunting us!"
Just then, Xiao Hui's expression suddenly changed.
Not long ago, when Lin Buzheng was strolling in the Ghost City, he was followed by a mysterious person. Fortunately, Xiao Hui had locked onto his True Fate in time, hiding his aura, and thus got rid of the stalker.
However, at this moment, Lin Buzheng walked out of the wonton shop, and Xiao Hui had carelessly forgotten to continue hiding his True Fate, allowing the stalker to not only discover Lin Buzheng's tracks, but also quickly approach, and was now almost at his side!
"It's okay."
"We can ask this person why he is following me."
Lin Buzheng calmly replied, standing still, his eyes fixed on the end of the crowd, a little curiosity in his heart.
He's just an ordinary youngster from a remote place. Although his martial arts talent is astonishing, he's still young. There's almost no one he knows in the Ghost City. Even if he breaks his head, he still can't understand why this person is so persistent in tracking him.
Seeing this, Xiao Hui helplessly shook its head, "Curiosity really kills the cat …"
However, he wasn't worried about Lin Buzheng's safety. This was the Phantom City. Even Divine Kings and Great Emperors would have to think twice before making a move here. Existences below the Emperor rank would absolutely not dare to make a move.
"Meow! It's coming! It's coming!"
After ten minutes, the crowd in front of Lin Buzheng quietly parted.
A girl whose height only reached Lin Buzheng's shoulder floated in the air, passing through the crowd and approaching him.
Although the young girl had a pretty face, she was short. Her hair was messy, her skin was yellow, and her clothes were tattered. It was obvious that she had grown up in a poor and difficult place.
However, what attracted the most attention was not her cold and shabby appearance, but the area below her knees. It was surprisingly made of stone, causing the girl to be unable to walk like a normal person. She could only slowly float towards Lin Buzheng like a ghost.
Lin Buzheng looked into the woman's limpid eyes and instantly understood that it was this woman who had been following him.
Lin Buzheng frowned and looked the woman up and down with a puzzled expression, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
He was very clear that he didn't know this girl at all. Moreover, this was the first time they had met.
The young girl floated to Lin Buzheng and stopped in front of him. She respectfully bowed to him, "My apologies for startling you! My name is Xi Yun. I noticed that Gongzi is the descendant of the Reincarnation Emperor and has the Reincarnation Bloodline. That's why I chased you all the way here. Please forgive me for my rudeness! "
Although the young girl's clothes were shabby, she had a pretty face like a lotus flower emerging from the water. Her voice was crisp and sweet, making it hard for people to hate her.
Hearing this, although Lin Buzheng's expression didn't change, he was secretly vigilant, "How did you know that I'm the descendant of the Reincarnation Emperor?"
If his enemies were to use the same method to track him, he would be in great danger.
The young girl seemed to have seen through Lin Buzheng's thoughts. She smiled and said, "I was able to locate Gongzi by following the path left behind by the Reincarnation Emperor. Gongzi and I are friends, not enemies. Don't worry, Gongzi!"
Before she finished her sentence, the young girl took out a small stone artifact that looked like a corona and held it in her palm. She gestured to Lin Buzheng, who indeed sensed the aura of the Reincarnation Emperor from the artifact.
"I see!"
Lin Buzheng was relieved after hearing this. He said to Xi Yun with a smile, "I do have the Reincarnation Bloodline in my body, and I've also awakened the Reincarnation Technique. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xi Yun opened her mouth to answer, but at this moment, Xiao Hui, who was lying on Lin Buzheng's shoulder, suddenly said, "Human girl, you're from the Land of Eternal War, right?"
Only now did Xi Yun notice Little Grey who was lying on Lin Buzheng's shoulder. She looked at Lin Buzheng with a gaze filled with surprise. But right after that, this surprise turned into instinctive reverence, "Senior's eyes are truly sharp. I'm indeed from the Land of Eternal War!
Lin Buzheng was instantly curious, "The Land of Eternal War? What kind of place is that?"
Xiao Hui's face was gloomy, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. In short, it's not a good place. Brat, ignore this girl, let's go! "
"Go?"
"Did the negotiation fail?"
Lin Buzheng was stunned. He looked at Xiao Hui on his shoulder, and then at Xi Yun, who was in front of him, with a blank face. He had no idea what was going on.
"Young Master, you can't go!"
However, when Xi Yun heard this, her face immediately became anxious. She dragged her heavy feet and floated in front of Lin Buzheng, blocking his way, and anxiously explained to Xiao Hui:
"Senior, since you've guessed that I'm from the Land of Eternal War, you should be able to see that I have no ill intentions towards Young Master. To be precise, we're on the same side, and we need the help of the Reincarnation Emperor's descendant!"
Xiao Hui's face was gloomy, "No ill intentions doesn't mean there's no danger! From the ancient times until now, as long as anything is involved with the Land of Eternal War, it will become extremely dangerous. Not to mention, you're from the Land of Eternal War. "
"Although you didn't state your intention, this emperor has already guessed it. You can leave!"
"Although he's the Reincarnation Emperor's descendant, he's far from growing up. You know this better than me. As his Path Protector, this emperor will absolutely not allow him to go to the Land of Eternal War to die!"
Xiao Hui's words were extremely serious.
In fact, ever since Lin Buzheng saw Xiao Hui, he had never seen him so serious.
When Xi Yun heard this, a trace of despair flashed across her eyes. Her lips wriggled, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She no longer blocked Lin Buzheng's way, and silently lowered her head, like a wisp of a fragrant soul, drifted to the side.
Seeing this, Xiao Hui let out a long sigh of relief, but when he saw Lin Buzheng standing there like a wooden stake, he suddenly became angry, "Brat, what are you still standing there for? Go! "
When Lin Buzheng heard this, as if awakened from a dream, he walked forward with Xiao Hui.
But for some reason, when Lin Buzheng looked at Xi Yun's dazed figure, his heart was incomparably heavy, and there was even a faint sense of guilt, as if he had evaded his responsibility.
"The Reincarnation Emperor has disappeared, the Quasi-emperor has left, and the Immortal has also left. Only we are still bitterly defending that place, and after millions of years, we will not retreat until death."
