In the vast starry sky, at the central point where the four armies met, on a magnificent planet.
The Sky-sea Pavilion was originally a place where the four Heavenly Kings would occasionally meet to discuss matters. Now, due to its geographical advantage, it had become a temporary stronghold for the purge army.
Downstairs, a group of generals gathered around a star chart compass. Upstairs, Xu Tangran personally appeared with a lunchbox. He placed food and wine on the table with the best view and cheerfully invited Yan Xiao and Yu Luocha over to rest.
Ever since he received Miao Yi's secret decree, Xu Tangran knew he had finally made it. He knew he would become a character like Sima Wentian.
He wasn't dissatisfied with this. He knew he didn't have any merits and it would be difficult for him to obtain a dignified position. If he couldn't compete with others, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to speak up for him. Otherwise, how would those generals who fought in blood feel? To be able to obtain a position like Sima Wentian's had already greatly exceeded his expectations. So he was in a good mood and personally cooked some dishes to reward Yan Xiao and Yu Luocha.
Usually, only Miao Yi could enjoy such treatment. Even his own wife, Xue Linglong, had never served him like this at home. Of course, he also hoped that the two of them would do their best to help him complete this mission. As long as he could complete Miao Yi's mission, he didn't mind bowing his head.
Yan Xiao didn't mind. He sat down and slowly tasted the food. Xu Tangran personally poured him wine and he accepted it openly.
On the other hand, Yu Luocha didn't have much of an appetite. Xu Tangran was too ruthless. He didn't even spare a secular temple. She felt that she was about to become a sinner of the Buddhist sect. She had reported to Miao Yi but his attitude was that he didn't know the situation and told her to discuss it with Xu Tangran.
She understood that Miao Yi didn't dislike Xu Tangran's actions.
After tasting a few mouthfuls of delicious vegetables, Yu Luocha put down her chopsticks. She stared at Xu Tangran and asked, "This is just the beginning and we've already captured more than a billion people. What are you going to do with these people?" Yan Xiao and she were mainly responsible for the fighting and dispatching of the troops. However, Miao Yi left the handling of the captured criminals to Xu Tangran.
"We'll see how it goes. We'll talk after the interrogation." Xu Tangran laughed vaguely and poured wine for her.
Yu Luocha said expressionlessly, "This is just the beginning and there are already more than a billion people. Can you interrogate them one by one?"
"Take it slow, there's no rush." Xu Tangran was still cheerful, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible to interrogate so many people. Most of them would have to be killed for the Core. Miao Yi didn't say so, but he could understand Miao Yi's intentions. Why would he need so many cultivators to unify the world? Especially when he might be an outsider.
There were some reputations that Miao Yi couldn't bear. He had to be the scapegoat.
Yu Luocha looked at Yan Xiao, wanting to say something but hesitating. Yan Xiao, on the other hand, continued to eat in silence.
After the battle, Yan Xiao was ordered to clean up the area. He contacted Su Yun and asked her if there was anyone that needed his help.
Su Yun told him that the two of them should try not to contact each other in the future. Then, he reminded them that this was a time of great change. No matter what they liked or disliked, they should not make a sound. They should just follow orders and act as if they didn't know anything …
The Netherworld. The Netherdragon Ship came from the depths of space, and finally came to a stop right outside the Dark Spring.
A large group of black figures flew out from the Netherdragon Ship and circled around it.
Standing on the ship, the Ten Elements Palace Master, Wu Zhang, and the others looked at the ferocious beasts flying around the ship. The Hell Mantises.
At the highest point of the ship's pavilion, Lord White, who had his eyes closed and was mumbling to himself, suddenly opened his arms.
A gigantic Hell Mantis the size of a mountain flapped its wings and came over. It spoke in a muffled and indistinct human language, "When will we meet again?"
Lord White opened his eyes and smiled. "I hope we don't meet again. Thank you for your trouble. Go home."
The gigantic Hell Mantis suddenly soared into the sky. With a turn, it led a large group of Hell Mantises towards the Dark Spring.
Lord White's eyes revealed a hint of emotion as he watched the black figures fly away and disappear into the Dark Spring.
When everything was quiet again, Lord White lightly landed on the lower deck. He landed beside Gao Guan, who was leaning on the railing, and asked, "Where are you?"
Gao Guan took out his Star Bell, but no one knew where he was trying to contact it.
Just then, a figure flew over from the direction of the Dark Spring, heading straight for the Netherdragon Ship. Unimpeded by the zombies pulling the ship, the figure landed right next to Lord White.
Lord White nodded and smiled at the newcomer.
The newcomer took off his mask, revealing his true appearance. Gao Guan was quite surprised, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Seven Jue?"
That's right. The newcomer was Cao Man's trusted aide, Seven Jue.
Seven Jue looked at Gao Guan and laughed. "I didn't think that the great Supervising Right Envoy, Gao Guan, would actually be one of Lord White's men."
"You're mistaken. I'm not one of his men," Gao Guan said coldly.
"Uh …" Seven Jue was speechless. He looked at Lord White, as if asking for his opinion.
Lord White shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Gao Guan asked, "What's with him?" He was referring to Seven Jue.
Seven Jue smiled bitterly as well. Lord White smiled faintly and explained, "Come to think of it, he's also a member of the Xiahou Family. Technically speaking, he's a legitimate member of the Xiahou Family. His father is Xiahou Tuo's younger brother. Xiahou Tuo purged the entire family in order to seize power. Seven Jue was still young, so he was lucky enough to escape. His parents, who had died a horrible death, managed to save his life. He's always wanted revenge. In the end, I thought of a way to pave the way for him and arranged for him to stay by Cao Man's side. "
Gao Guan narrowed his eyes. "Why did you have to arrange for him to stay by Cao Man's side? Were you the one who pushed for Cao Man to become the Xiahou Family's Patriarch?"
Lord White shook his head. "Xiahou Tuo's plans aren't something I can easily push. Back when Cao Man first appeared and took control of the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice, Xiahou Tuo placed Cao Man in the open. That's when I realized that Xiahou Tuo might have high hopes for Cao Man, and he might even consider Cao Man as a backup. Xiahou Tuo is too shrewd. It doesn't matter if I do it in the open or in the dark, I'll still be exposed. I can only plan for the long term and try to make a move on Cao Man. Xiahou Tuo wouldn't be able to bring down the Xiahou Family while he was still alive, so I might as well try to make a move on the next generation. Truth be told, I had no other choice. Since I couldn't find any other targets, Cao Man was the only one I could think of. Xiahou Tuo and I had to spend a lot of effort just to nail him down … Let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past now. When will your men arrive? "Lord White turned around and asked.
Gao Guan replied, "Wait a little longer … He's here!" He suddenly turned to look in You Quan's direction.
Another figure flew over from You Quan's direction and stopped not too far away from the Netherdragon Ship. There was a look of bewilderment on his face, as if he didn't dare to get any closer.
Gao Guan raised the Star Bell in his hand, and the newcomer took out his Star Bell. His expression changed drastically as he slowly flew towards Gao Guan and landed beside him. He said in disbelief, "Mister, you are …"
Gao Guan's voice changed to one that Lord White was familiar with. "It's me!"
The newcomer tore off his mask and revealed his true appearance. It was none other than Pei Mo, the man who had killed Xiahou Long Cheng. He smiled bitterly and cupped his fists in greeting. "Mister, you've kept me in the dark for so long!"
He never would've guessed that the supervising Minister of the Right, Gao Guan, was the same person who had been giving him orders from behind the scenes. Neither did he think of comparing the two's dharmic seals. He didn't even dare to think about it.
Gao Guan said, "This place is going to be a dangerous place in the short term. You can't stay in the Right Division any longer. It'll be dangerous if you stay. Since you don't have anything to worry about, why don't you come with me?"
Pei Mo cupped his fists again. "I'll listen to you, mister." He stole a few more glances at Lord White.
Lord White gave him a slight nod of acknowledgment. When he saw that White Lady had come out again, he leaped down and stood face to face with her. "You're really not coming with me?"
White Lady pressed a hand to her chest and pointed at her heart.
Lord White sighed. "Alright! I won't force you, but I still have to remind you to be careful. Just because your cultivation is high doesn't mean you're worry-free, and it doesn't mean you can fight against the world. The most terrifying thing in the world isn't martial strength, but the human heart. Nanbo's sealed cultivation is a good example. "
"Namo Amitabha. Have a safe journey, benefactor!" White Lady clasped her hands in greeting and slowly retreated. Then, she flew up into the sky, picking up speed as she flew deeper and deeper into space.
"Why did you suddenly become a monk?" Wu Zhang asked with a pained look on his face.
Lord White, who was watching her leave, was also filled with emotion. He thought back to the fiery White Lady who had chased after him all those years ago. Now that he thought about it, everything seemed so perfect, like a dream. Lord White sighed. "Let's not remember the past!" He turned around and nodded at the Sorcerer.
Half of his face was covered by his bamboo hat, and the Netherdragon Ship started moving once more towards the distant starry sky.
Everyone turned back to look at the Netherworld. They all knew that they were really leaving this time.
On the second floor of the ship, Elder Mu Sen ran out and shouted excitedly, "Lord White, Master is awake!"
Lord White immediately turned around and leaped up. Gao Guan also leaped down from the second floor, and the two of them entered at almost the same time.
Inside the ship, there was a dragon bed that was wrapped in a large and transparent bubble. A group of female fairies surrounded the dragon bed, chattering away. The dream-like beauty sat upright on the bed, and there were two other female fairies leaning against her legs, laughing happily.
Mu Sen came in and coughed. The female fairies turned around and glanced at him, then retreated. Mu Sen bowed and retreated as well.
The beautiful woman blinked her pure eyes as she looked at the two men standing side by side. A gentle smile appeared on her face.
Gao Guan's eyes reddened, and he quickly entered the bubble. When he arrived in front of the dragon bed, he slowed down and sat down on the step in front of it. He looked up at Ruoshui and smiled with tears in his eyes, "Big Sister!"
Ruoshui smiled sweetly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She reached out and took off the tall hat on his head. She caressed his head and said in a gentle voice, "That's great. My little tall hat is back."
Gao Guan shook his head forcefully and cried bitterly on her legs. He whimpered, "I'm sorry! Big Sister, I was wrong … "
He could still vaguely remember the raging waves on the sea that day. In the end, the huge waves smashed the ship into pieces. When he was still a child, he hugged a piece of wood and floated in the ice-cold seawater. He didn't know how long he floated. In any case, he never saw his parents again. Just as he sank to the bottom of the sea in a daze, a beautiful woman emerged from the depths of the sea and caught him. A bubble wrapped around him and sent him to an island.
