At this moment, Huo De was like a lonely ghost lost in the darkness, drifting in the vast wasteland. His figure was indistinct and indistinct, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Gu Qingfeng seemed to be strolling in the void. He took a step forward and shrunk the ground to a foot, following closely behind Huo De.
The two of them disappeared just like that.
They were like two shooting stars that streaked across the night sky and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the countless worlds that were like bright stars that flickered faintly in the Great Desolate World.
The vast wilderness was still a vast and boundless wilderness.
It had never changed because of anyone or anything.
It was like this in the past, now, and in the future.
It had been like this since ancient times.
After Huo De and Gu Qingfeng disappeared, a Mysterious Heaven Ship slowly sailed over.
It was an antique Mysterious Heaven Ship. Although it was not majestic, it looked exquisite. Two women stood on the deck.
One was a beautiful woman in red.
The other was a beautiful woman in white with an extraordinary temperament.
They were none other than them.
They were Fairy Li and Exalted Immortal Qingqing.
Until now, the two of them still did not know what had happened. They only knew that when they were carefully answering Gu Qingfeng's question, Huo De suddenly rushed out as if he had gone mad. Then, they sensed a terrifying force erupting. They did not know what that terrifying force was. The only thing they knew was that when this force erupted, all the formations on the Mysterious Heaven Ship collapsed and disappeared.
Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng had pushed their Mysterious Heaven Ship away at the critical moment. Otherwise, the two of them knew that they would have been crushed into ashes on the spot.
As for why Huo De had suddenly gone mad.
What was that terrifying force?
What did Gu Qingfeng and Huo De talk about? Where did they go?
Neither of them knew.
"What exactly happened?"
Fairy Li frowned and asked. Exalted Immortal Qingqing only looked in the direction where Gu Qingfeng had disappeared and shook her head.
Fairy Li thought for a long time but could not figure out why Huo De had suddenly gone mad. She also could not figure out what that terrifying force was.
After a while, she also looked in the direction where Gu Qingfeng had disappeared and muttered, "He … left."
"He left …"
Fairy Li asked, and Exalted Immortal Qingqing replied.
Whether it was their expressions, eyes, or tones, they were somewhat complicated.
Amidst the complicated feelings, there was some relief, lingering fear, reluctance, and curiosity.
Ever since they started suspecting that Gu Qingfeng was Emperor You, the two of them only had one thought, and that was to leave as far away as possible without offending Gu Qingfeng. The further, the better.
In the end, they confirmed that Gu Qingfeng was Emperor You. Especially after witnessing how terrifying Gu Qingfeng was, the two of them wanted to leave even more. They did not want to stay by Gu Qingfeng's side at all. They were afraid that they would accidentally offend him, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two of them were truly afraid.
Even if Gu Qingfeng did not kill them, the two of them did not dare to stay by his side.
This was because they clearly knew that once the news of Emperor You's resurrection spread, it would definitely set off a perilous storm in the universe.
If it was possible, the two of them did not want to have anything to do with Gu Qingfeng at all, not even the slightest bit.
This was because they knew that Gu Qingfeng's existence was a threat to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as well as to all living beings. Even if they were just a little bit related to him, they would most likely be killed or even annihilated. Moreover, this kind of annihilation might not even be something that their Everlasting Pavilion could withstand.
To the two of them, Gu Qingfeng's existence was like the god of plague. As long as they were related to him, regardless of what kind of relationship they had, they might be destroyed.
Now that Gu Qingfeng had left, the two of them felt relieved.
The stone that had been pressing down on their hearts had finally been lifted. It was like the clouds parting and the moon shining brightly. It was also like they had finally waited for dawn to arrive in the endless darkness. It was even more like they had just escaped from the hands of the Grim Reaper. They felt fortunate.
Logically speaking, they should be happy after rejoicing.
However.
Whether it was Fairy Li or Exalted Immortal Qing Qing, neither of them felt happy. They were not worried that Gu Qingfeng would come back to look for them, nor were they worried about being related to Gu Qingfeng in any way.
The real reason for their unhappiness was a sense of loss.
Yes.
Loss.
For some reason, Fairy Li and Exalted Immortal Qing Qing both felt a strong sense of loss as they looked in the direction that Gu Qingfeng had left in.
Neither of them knew why they felt that way.
Fairy Li seemed fine. Although she was a little disappointed, it was just a pure feeling. On the other hand, Exalted Immortal Qing Qing seemed to be very disappointed, so much so that she was a little depressed. It was as if Gu Qingfeng's departure had taken away her essence, energy, and spirit. Her heart was empty, and she seemed to be in a daze as if her soul had nowhere to go.
Exalted Immortal Qing Qing even fantasized about how good it would be if Huo De had not suddenly gone crazy.
That way, she could have spent more time with him.
She was so anxious and fearful. Even if it would cause her great trouble in the end, she was willing to do it.
With that thought in mind.
Exalted Immortal Qing Qing was suddenly shocked by her own thoughts. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the terrifying thought in her mind. She thought to herself, 'What's wrong with me? Why am I having such thoughts? He's Emperor You, the Emperor You who poses a great threat to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Why am I … '
Exalted Immortal Qing Qing's heart pounded. She closed her eyes and tried to get rid of the thoughts in her mind. She took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm her turbulent heart.
"Oh my god! Martial Uncle Li Xin, Senior Sister Qing Qing, was that person … really Emperor You? "
At this moment, Granny Jin Hua and Qiao 'er also walked out of the dock. Although they had been staying in the dock all along, it did not mean that they were unaware of what had happened outside. It was precisely because they knew what had happened outside and knew that Gu Qingfeng was Emperor You that Granny Jin Hua was so scared that she stayed in the dock obediently and did not dare to act rashly. She only came out with Qiao' er after confirming that Gu Qingfeng had left.
A person's name was like a tree's shadow.
Emperor You's name was renowned throughout the vast wilderness. Everyone in the universe knew of him.
Even a three year old child knew about it, and Qiao 'er was naturally no exception. But she utterly didn't dare believe that the fellow with an ordinary appearance that didn't even have a cultivation and seemed to be frivolous and sloppy was the legendary overlord of the Grand Desolation during the ancient times, the Ninth Hell Emperor, whose might shook the Grand Desolation.
"Qiao 'er, don't be afraid. Emperor You … has already left …"
Fairy Li Xin walked over and hugged Qiao 'er, stroking her hair to comfort her.
"Martial Uncle, Qiao 'er is not afraid. Qiao' er just … felt that that fellow didn't look like Emperor You … He's far from the Emperor You I imagined. Martial Uncle, is he really Emperor You?"
