Xi Yun's voice was extremely calm, but under this calmness, there was an extreme sense of despair. Her heart was like dead water, and all her hopes had turned to dust.
"My father's generation was the warrior of the Samsara Emperor. Countless years ago, they followed the Samsara Emperor to the Land of Eternal War to fight against the evil existences from the outer realms, to prevent them from invading our world …
"Then one day, the Samsara Emperor disappeared, but my father's generation did not retreat. They still defended the Land of Eternal War and fought a bloody battle … The era of the Fishing Dragon Immortal Emperor passed, the era of the Hundred Grass Celestial Emperor ended, and the era of the Desire Witch Empress ended. One after another, the Great Emperor eras disappeared, but we did not wait for reinforcements or the return of the Samsara Emperor …
"Our numbers became smaller and smaller, but the enemy became stronger and stronger. Their attacks became fiercer and fiercer, and we could not hold on for much longer …
"The Samsara Emperor once said that one day in the future, he would return with great strength and lead us to sweep away the powerful enemies. He would leave the Land of Eternal War, that place without any daylight, and see the beautiful world that we are protecting … But now I know that the Samsara Emperor went back on his words and deceived us with a lie. The Great Emperor is the biggest liar in the world!
"Actually, we're not afraid of being deceived, nor are we afraid of death. We know how heavy the responsibility is on our shoulders. Dying to protect the Land of Eternal War is the entire meaning of our lives. It's our highest honor, and it's also our final destiny …"
"We are only afraid that the Land of Eternal War will be conquered, and our generations of hard work will be for naught. We are afraid that when we fight in the Land of Eternal War, no one will recognize us, support us, or join us. We are even more afraid that we will be like wandering ghosts, silently dying in a corner where no one cares about us …"
Xi Yun's voice became softer and softer, and in the end, she buried her head in silence. Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground.
Lin Buzheng stood still and silently listened to Xi Yun's words. After dozens of breaths, he finally opened his mouth: "Little Grey, is everything she said true?"
Little Grey was speechless. It twisted its body uneasily on Lin Buzheng's shoulder. After a while, it reluctantly said: "It's all true."
"I understand."
Lin Buzheng took a deep breath, then turned around and smiled brightly at Xi Yun. "I've changed my mind. I'll go with you!"
Hearing this, Xi Yun raised her head in disbelief. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Lin Buzheng. "Is it true? Are you really willing to help us?"
"Of course it's fake!"
Xiao Hui's fur stood up, its cat body arched threateningly, it shrieked beside Lin Buzheng's ear, "Brat, do you know what kind of place the Land of Eternal War is? That is the ancient battlefield, a place where the Great Emperors and the unknown fought. It is a place abandoned by all living beings, a place cursed by the gods. More than one Great Emperor has fallen in the Land of Eternal War! "
"Even now, the bodies of faith of some Emperors are still fighting against the overlords of the outer realms in the Land of Eternal War."
"Even if your cultivation had reached the Paragon Realm, I wouldn't say anything and would let you seek death as you wish. But you're only in the Spirit Dao. Going to the Land of Eternal War is the same as throwing your life away!"
"Meow! Brat, you must listen to me this time. You definitely can't go!"
Hearing Xiao Hui's words, Xi Yun's face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again. She bit her lips and looked at Lin Buzheng.
Lin Buzheng stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Hui's fur, "Xiao Hui, thank you. I know you're worried about me, but this time, I must go!"
"Although I don't know my origins or who my mother is, I have the bloodline of reincarnation flowing in my body. Since that's the case, there are some responsibilities that I can't avoid. I have to bear them!"
"Furthermore, if the Land of Eternal War is breached, this world will fall into a great calamity. I won't be able to escape either. Why don't I go to the Land of Eternal War to take a look? Who knows, there might be a chance to turn things around."
"Xiao Hui, you definitely don't want your protector to be a short-sighted and irresponsible person, right?"
Although Lin Buzheng's words were extremely calm, they were powerful. With just a few words, Xiao Hui was rendered speechless.
"Don't worry, Senior."
"We need the descendant of the Reincarnation Emperor to go. It's not suicide. It's to activate the formation left by the Reincarnation Emperor and repel the evil beings from the outer realm. There's almost no danger."
At the same time, Xi Yun also spoke with incomparable sincerity.
"Meow, do whatever you want!"
Xiao Hui was furious. It laid down on Lin Buzheng's shoulder and turned its head to the side, ignoring the two of them.
"Good words can't persuade a suicidal person. Anyway, there's no danger in the Land of Eternal War, and I have a lot of time. I'll accompany you to the Land of Eternal War and take it as collecting your corpse!"
"Xiao Hui, thank you!"
Lin Buzheng felt warmth in his heart. Xiao Hui had just said that the Land of Eternal War was a terrifying place where even several Emperors had fallen. How could it not be dangerous in the Land of Eternal War?
Xiao Hui was obviously worried about Lin Buzheng, which was why he said that on purpose. He was prepared to accompany him to the Land of Eternal War to ensure his safety.
Lin Buzheng raised his head and looked at the ghostly city's strange sky. He had a thought, "We have to move quickly. The sky is about to brighten!"
The sky that Lin Buzheng was talking about was naturally not the sky of the ghostly city.
The sky here was connected to the void of the infinite world. From time to time, the sun, moon, stars, continent, and all kinds of things would appear and disappear. The sky was always gray.
Lin Buzheng was talking about the space-time he came from.
As the night of the martial arts world faded and dawn arrived, he would also be expelled from the ghostly city and return to the real world.
"Follow me!"
Hearing that, Xi Yun immediately grabbed Lin Buzheng's hand. Her petite body floated forward like a wandering spirit. She separated the crowd and flew forward with Lin Buzheng. Not long after, they stopped in front of an incomparably huge stone palace.
In front of the stone hall, a white-robed old man stood quietly. In front of him, several martial artists stood in a row. They stepped forward one by one, reported the name of the place, and handed over the spirit stones. Soon after, they disappeared in a flash of white light.
"This is the teleportation old man of the ghostly city."
"We can go to the Land of Eternal War through him!"
Xi Yun brought Lin Buzheng to the end of the line and explained in a low voice.
"I see!"
Hearing that, Lin Buzheng suddenly came to a realization. A trace of understanding flashed in his heart.
The ghostly city was a place of trade. Things from the infinite world were bought and sold. Naturally, there was a teleportation service. However, this service was personally controlled by the ghostly city.
"Where are you going?"
The line quickly shrank. In less than a hundred breaths, it was Xi Yun and Lin Buzheng's turn.
"Answering senior, we are going to the Land of Eternal War!"
