Majestic Fox Mountain, where the Evil Sect Ghost King Sect headquarters was located, shrouded in an austere atmosphere, the originally powerful sect, suddenly lost more than half of its manpower, no matter to any powerful family in the world, it was also an extremely heavy blow. So many hot-blooded disciples, with high morale to fight, and when they returned, there was only Ghost King alone, bathed in blood.
An unshakable shadow, appeared on everyone's faces and hearts in Majestic Fox Mountain, no one knew, who would be the next opponent of those cruel and ferocious demon beasts?
After Ghost King returned, he immediately went into seclusion to recuperate, no one dared to ask him but they did not have to wait for long, very soon, the news came back one after another, the matter also gradually became clear, in this southwest war, the Evil Sect three big sects for the first time joined forces to fight against the demon beasts, although why the three sects would secretly ally or have other plans, other than Ghost King, most likely no one else knew.
And the result of this war, could be said to be the Evil Sect's most tragic defeat in a thousand years, not to mention Ghost King Sect losing more than half of their manpower, Wan Du Clan first suffered heavy losses in the sect's internal strife, and then the demon beasts attacked the Venomous Serpent Valley, the remaining elite disciples were almost all dead or injured. As for the HeHuan Sect which had always been lying dormant, this time for some reason, also mobilized their entire sect's strength to join this war and their outcome was also completely annihilated in front of the endless demon beasts.
Right now, the heavily injured Ghost King Sect was in a state of panic but no matter what, their current situation was still far better than Wan Du Clan and HeHuan Sect, most of Ghost King Sect's elite disciples were left in Majestic Fox Mountain, so the core strength was actually not damaged, and for Wan Du Clan and HeHuan Sect, after this battle, it was unknown if anyone had escaped.
This day, after recuperating for many days, in the uneasy conjectures of the disciples, Ghost King once again appeared before the Ghost King Sect disciples. Ghost King did not even mention the great defeat he had just experienced, instead directly gave out many orders, very soon, the entire mountainside of Majestic Fox Mountain, started to stir.
Everyone started to pack up, pack up their things, prepare dry rations and water, because the last order in Ghost King's order, clearly stated one thing, because the Central Plains demon beasts were wreaking havoc and the holy sect was greatly weakened, for the future of the holy sect, he had already decided, the entire Ghost King sect, would head towards the north-west together, into that ten thousand miles of Wildlands, to that legendary birthplace of the holy sect - "Wildlands Holy Temple".
In the bustling scene, Ghost King expressionlessly clasped his hands behind his back, walked towards the icy cold stone chamber deep inside the mountain. It was a journey of ten thousand miles, and the Wilderness was hot and desolate. With BiYao's current condition, it was not suitable for her to travel such a long distance to the Wilderness. Initially, Ghost King wanted to ask Xiao Bai to take care of BiYao, with the Nine-tailed celestial fox's thousand years of cultivation, plus Majestic Fox Mountain's many traps, naturally it would be foolproof but now things had changed. Ever since he came back, for some reason, Xiao Bai had disappeared from here, he had asked a few people but no one knew where she was.
Thinking of this, Ghost King frowned slightly, unknowingly he had already arrived outside his daughter's icy cold stone chamber, he sighed, opened the door and walked in.
Ghost Li was standing there, quietly accompanying BiYao. He heard movements behind him but he did not even move his head.
Ghost King slowly strolled, walked to Ghost Li, looked from his side at his daughter who was quietly lying on the cold stone platform, that pale and beautiful face was as elegant as before, as if she also knew, the two men who cared about her the most in this world, were also the two men who were most important to her, were by her side.
Her expression was very quiet, very calm, very at ease!
Ghost King looked at BiYao for a long time, a faint glint flashed past his eyes, with a rare kindness, after a long time, he heaved a long sigh, faintly said, "Why don't you go tidy up your things?"
Ghost Li did not raise his head and did not answer him directly, instead he asked Ghost King, "I heard that within the radius of Wildlands, it is either a desolate Gobi or an endless desert, and it is unusually hot throughout the year, isn't it?"
Ghost King nodded, said, "That's right, back then I once went to Wildlands Holy Temple, the weather there was indeed like that."
Ghost Li frowned and said, "Then how can BiYao go, with her current... state, how can she endure this hardship?"
Ghost King glanced at Ghost Li, said, "I originally did not intend to bring BiYao to Wildlands."
Ghost Li's expression changed, looked at Ghost King, Ghost King said, "Wildlands is desolate and hot, it is indeed not suitable for BiYao, my original intention was to let her stay in Majestic Fox Mountain, after we leave, activate the mountain's prohibition, close the entrance, then it will be very safe. But just in case, it is still necessary to have someone come in at least once a month to check, to prevent any accidents. "
Ghost Li stood up, said, "Leaving someone behind, who is it?"
Ghost King faintly said, "My original intention was to entrust her to Xiao Bai, her skills are high and she is very willing to rest in this mountain for a few years but for some reason, these days I can't find her."
Ghost Li's countenance changed slightly, Ghost King saw it, his heart moved, said, "Why, you know where she went?"
Ghost Li slowly shook his head, was silent for a moment, said, "Let me stay here to take care of BiYao."
Ghost King stared at him, said, "Of course I am at ease with you taking care of BiYao, I also trust you but now that the holy sect has suffered a heavy blow, I intend to restore our prestige, first we have to stabilize the sect, unify the holy sect, I really need a talent like you by my side."
Ghost Li's gaze for the first time left BiYao, slowly shifted to Ghost King, suddenly said, "This time in the great battle with the demon beasts, those disciples who followed you out, are all dead?"
Ghost King's countenance changed, his eyes glinted, this was the first time someone dared to mention this in front of him but he did not get angry, only looked deeply at Ghost Li and then slowly said, "All dead."
Ghost Li looked away, again looked at BiYao, after a long while, said, "After this great battle, although the Evil Sect is greatly weakened but Wan Du Clan and HeHuan Sect are completely annihilated, to our Ghost King sect which still has strength, it must be said it is a great opportunity to unify the Evil Sect. With the current situation as such, even without me, there are no other powers in the sect that can compete with you. " He quietly said, "But BiYao here, still needs someone to take care of her, just let me stay and take care of her."
Ghost King looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Since you say so, I will not force you. I will entrust BiYao to you for the time being, I also believe you can take good care of her but you must remember, the demon beasts are terrifying and their senses are sharp, just in case, it is best to seal the mountain gates, and then you can come in and check once every one or two months, then there won't be anything wrong. "
Ghost Li slowly nodded, considered to have agreed. Ghost King looked at his daughter again, after a moment, he sighed, turned and walked out.
Just when he was about to reach the door, suddenly Ghost Li's voice was heard from behind him, "Sect head …"
Ghost King was surprised, it was somewhat unexpected, Ghost Li rarely took the initiative to greet him, this time he suddenly spoke, he did not know what was the matter, immediately said, "What?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, suddenly said, "Do you hate me in your heart?"
Ghost King's back was facing him, motionless, did not speak and his expression could not be seen.
Ghost Li slowly said, "BiYao became like this because of me, in your heart, do you hate me very much?"
His face was indifferent, as if he was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with him but Ghost King did not speak all along. In the stone chamber, the two men stood back to back, the atmosphere seemed to stiffen.
The light smoke, gently floated up from the cold stone platform below BiYao, drifted in the air, not knowing how long later, the sound of the stone door being pulled open was heard, Ghost King did not say anything, quietly walked out.
[Rumble!] A deep sound, the stone door once again closed, leaving only Ghost Li beside BiYao in the cold stone chamber. His face was wooden, staring blankly at the girl in front of him.
In the ancient and dense primeval forest, waves of terrible and burnt smell came with the wind, like ugly scars, the originally green forest was filled with traces of the demon beasts' ravages, huge trees lying in disorder on the ground, countless of animal corpses were strewn everywhere, the entire forest's peaceful atmosphere was nowhere to be seen.
The second day after finding that Evil Sect disciple who had already gone mad, Xiao YiCai, FaXiang and the rest of the seven Good Faction disciples, following the increasingly obvious traces of the demon beasts, gradually approached that valley hidden deep in the mountains. Along the way, the forest they passed through was filled with the scene they had just seen. Although they didn't see any human corpses, the scene was still very moving.
In many of their hearts, they even thought at the same time, could it be that these demon beasts, were really born to kill and come to this world?
This day at noon, the group of them appeared on that broken ancient path outside the Venomous Serpent Valley, the traces of destruction by the demon beasts were so obvious that without much effort, that ancient path had widened by several times after being trampled by the demon beasts, everywhere were huge footprints and sharp claw marks left by the demon beasts, the air was still filled with a stench, other than that, there seemed to be a thinner but even more unbearable stench but no one could tell what it was.
