Within Bei Zhou.
Right now, it was late autumn in Lü Zhou. There was a mountain range in Bei Zhou that would be covered in red leaves at this time. It was a fiery red that connected the sky and the sun, as beautiful as flowers.
Most leaves in this world were not as beautiful as flowers. Otherwise, why would there be the saying that green leaves set off red flowers?
However, when people came here and saw the red leaves in the valley, they would sigh. So when the leaves were beautiful, the flowers were nothing.
There were stone steps leading into the sky, and two people were ascending the stone steps.
Hu Zhi looked at the ethereal Yun Yi and suddenly sighed. "Can we wait for the hot pot smell to dissipate before going up?"
Yun Yi said coldly without turning her head, "Time waits for no man."
"That's not what you said when you were eating hot pot!" Hu Zhi muttered softly.
Everyone felt that Hu Zhi was the most domineering and taciturn among puppeteers. However, in the eyes of Yun Yi and the others, Hu Zhi was the most honest, the easiest to bully, and the most talkative other than their eldest brother.
This was probably because one's perspective was different and one's perception was different.
During this time, Yun Yi and Hu Zhi had been searching for information regarding their eldest brother puppeteer. They wanted to confirm if their eldest brother had died or where he was buried.
But when they retraced the path they had been chased down, they found that all traces seemed to have been purposely erased. It was as if an earth-shattering battle had never happened there.
If it wasn't for the fact that Hu Zhi had pushed down a mountain in battle, the two of them would have thought that the battle had been a dream woven from their dreams.
There was no grave for her brother, and she did not see his corpse. However, for some reason, Yun Yi felt a faint trace of joy in her heart. Because the lack of news might be good news in itself.
These few days, Yun Yi had stubbornly believed that their eldest brother was still alive. They just didn't know where he was.
Today, they had come to find a person. That person's living creature could help them find the answer.
"The Butterfly of Rebirth only breaks out of its cocoon after a hundred years. Are you sure that old man is willing to give it to us?" Hu Zhi muttered. "The Butterfly of Rebirth dies after one use, and it might still be in its cocoon right now. It can't be used at all."
"We'll only know if we find him," Yun Yi said calmly. "How would you know if you don't try? Moreover, what qualifications does he have to refuse to let us use it? Just because he has nine lives? I'm afraid even nine lives wouldn't be enough. "
Hu Zhi didn't say anything. Right now, Yun Yi's killing intent was a little heavy. It was better for him not to argue.
However, he was very sure that if the owner of the Rebirth Butterfly was unwilling to hand it over, he might really die.
What kind of people were puppeteers? He had once ruled the world on behalf of the Divine King and was in charge of all killings.
Such a person would probably do anything to find their big brother. They had ten thousand ways to make him regret his decision to reject the puppet master.
Hu Zhi didn't think that there was anything wrong with this. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
"My king won't approve of your actions. The one in the past wouldn't and the one now wouldn't either." Hu Zhi muttered.
"Didn't His Majesty only start cultivating his mind in the last few centuries?" Yun Yi waved his hand impatiently. "Let's talk about this one after he sits on the throne."
"That day won't be too late," Hu Zhi said with certainty.
"Don't worry, I'm just saying. Why are you so wishy-washy now?" Yun Yi sped up on the stone steps as if he didn't want to listen to Hu Zhi's nonsense.
"Have you seen the one who raised the Rebirth Butterfly?" Hu Zhi asked curiously.
"No," Yun Yi answered.
"Then what if we got the wrong person?" Hu Zhi asked.
Yun Yi suddenly turned around and stared at Hu Zhi. "What do you want?"
Hu Zhi was stunned. "Look at you, you've eaten too much Chuanzhou hotpot …"
"Fine, fine, fine. We won't eat hotpot tonight. You can shut up now!" Yun Yi turned around and continued walking up the steps.
Hu Zhi was delighted. However, at this time, he suddenly said, "I keep feeling like we've been misled by something because some things on Earth don't match up with this place."
"What do you mean?" Yun Yi asked after a pause.
"Who hunted us back then?" Hu Zhi said.
"Six souls and a grandmaster we've never seen before. Is there a need to say? Other than that person's soul, who has the right to hunt us down?" Yun Yi was confused. This was the truth. They had fought with the other party.
In fact, if they fought alone, the puppeteer would have the upper hand. However, Crafty Approach had been sealed in the world of the World Tree a long time ago, and Chosen Dream had been playing tricks in the dark along the way. Under these circumstances, how could they defeat the other party?
After Yun Yi and the others escaped to Earth, they always thought that the new king in the Divine King's palace was Lv Luo 'er. Lv Luo' er was the only person in this world who could imprison and control souls.
Although there were many suspicious points at the time, this was something that couldn't be faked. Although they didn't know many of the Old Divine King's secrets, the puppeteers were the ones who understood the Old Divine King the best. For example, they knew about the Marrow Cleansing Fruit that Zhang Weiyu didn't know about.
Therefore, the puppeteers knew that Lv Luo 'er's cultivation method was given by the Old Divine King. One Yin and one Yang, the cultivation method was unique.
Hu Zhi said, "At the time, when we saw the souls, we thought it was Lv Luo 'er who did it. Those souls were the same as the ones she controlled. However, you might have forgotten that she once unintentionally said that the souls she controlled could actually change shape. Then, it's possible for other people to control souls like that. Most importantly, we weren't familiar with the souls Lv Luo 'er controlled, so we couldn't judge from the cultivation method. "
Yun Yi frowned. "Why are you saying this? Is there someone else who knows how to control souls? "
"Twenty-three years ago, after the incident at the Divine King's palace, did you see Lv Luo 'er?" Hu Zhi asked.
"Maybe she's hiding somewhere, waiting for a chance to take revenge. She might think that Crafty Approach and Zhang Weiyu's actions were instructed by the Old Divine King," Yun Yi said.
"You women might not get along with each other," Hu Zhi said slowly. "But I don't think Lv Luo 'er is the kind of person who would hide somewhere and wait for a chance to take revenge."
Yun Yi raised her eyebrows. "You look down on women?"
Hu Zhi: "???"
Hu Zhi explained, "I just think that you've always been distracted by subjective emotions, so you've always had feelings of rejection toward Lv Luo 'er."
"So what? It's my right to reject whoever I want," Yun Yi said coldly. At this time, Yun Yi was no longer like a calm older sister. She was more like a little girl, and little girls didn't need to be reasonable.
"But have you ever thought that Carol is Lv Luo 'er? Carol is 23 years old this year," Hu Zhi said.
