Southern border, ten thousand great mountains.
In front of the vast black forest that Ghost Li and Jin PingEr had passed through, right now stood several people, most of them were Southern border FenXiang Valley elite disciples led by LiXun, there were only two outsiders, Qing Yun sect Lu XueQi and Zeng ShuShu. As for WenMin who was with Lu XueQi and Zeng ShuShu, she was nowhere to be seen.
Many people in this group had slightly exhausted expressions. Obviously, even though they were cultivators, it was still not an easy thing for them to go deep into a dangerous and strange place like the Grand Myriad Mountains. Only the leaders LiXun, Lu XueQi, Zeng ShuShu and the rest, highly skilled, looked normal.
However, at this moment, no one could feel happy as they looked at the pitch-black and strange forest in front of them.
Above this stretch of black forest, the poisonous miasma was clearly rising incessantly, obviously unable to be flown over, and the black forest was vast, it was also not easy to go around, in addition Li Xun who was acting as the guide had already clearly said, according to the southern border tribe's legend, the demon beast's nest was in the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave behind this stretch of black forest.
This forest, it seemed like they had no choice but to go through!
TianYa celestial sword emitted a faint blue glow, gently twinkling beside Lu XueQi's hand, contrasting against her snow-white and slightly lonely figure. WenMin was not around, not only did she rarely speak to LiXun and the other FenXiang Valley disciples, she also rarely paid attention to Zeng ShuShu who was also from Qing Yun sect.
Along the way, barren hills and unruly rivers, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, these frightening things to her, often turned a blind eye to them or died under her sword. No one knew, what was she thinking in the depths of her heart.
LiXun did not know, Zeng ShuShu also did not know, and right now LiXun coughed to Zeng ShuShu, quietly asked, "That... Zeng senior brother, may I ask that Lu junior sister who is silent all day, what is she thinking about?"
Zeng ShuShu was surprised, then smiled bitterly and said, "Li senior brother, I think you are asking the wrong person!"
Li Xun looked at him, shook his head after a long while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, everyone was resting after a day of hard work before entering the Black Forest. Lu XueQi stood alone beside a rock far away, looking at the distant mountains. Behind her, there were many gazes, intentionally or unintentionally, lingering on her elegant back.
Li Xun and Zeng Shushu stood at the side. Li Xun pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Senior Brother Zeng, let's invite Junior Sister Lu over and discuss what to do next, okay?"
Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "That's true." He turned and walked to Anan and whispered a few words to her. Anan was expressionless, after listening to Zeng ShuShu, she glanced at Li Xun. Li Xun felt a little awkward and gave a dry laugh.
Not long after, Lu XueQi finally came back with Zeng ShuShu. LiXun coughed, said, "It's like this, both of you, after passing through this black forest, we will not be far from the demon beasts' lair. We … "
"Li senior brother!" Suddenly, Anan called out to Li Xun, interrupting his words.
Li Xun was surprised, ever since entering the ten thousand great mountains, it could be said that this was the first time Anan took the initiative to speak to him, asked in surprise, "What?"
Anan looked at him, a faint glint in her eyes, said, "These few days, I have something that I do not understand and would like to consult Li senior brother."
Li Xun nodded and said, "Lu junior sister please speak."
Anan did not seem to warm up because of Li Xun's politeness, still coldly and indifferently said, "In the past, the news we heard from FenXiang Valley, all said that this ten thousand great mountains is a dangerous place, even you all rarely enter. But for some reason, this time around, Li senior brother you seem to be very familiar with this place, could it be that you all have been here before? And, the traces of the Beast Deity are extremely secretive, the lair even more so hidden, how is it that FenXiang Valley is so well-informed, to be able to know all these? "
LiXun's expression did not change, facing Anan's questioning, he seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, smiled and said, "Lu junior sister, I have already told you before, in the past our FenXiang Valley indeed did not pay much attention to this ten thousand great mountains, but once the Beast Deity catastrophe happened, of course we would pay attention to this place. As for the Beast Deity's lair, it was also discovered by our sect's disciples after tracking the remnants of the Beast Deity, for this we sacrificed quite a number of our sect's elites! "
Zeng ShuShu and Anan frowned at the same time, obviously they did not believe Li Xun's empty words, but seeing that he spoke so confidently, it seemed that they could not refute him directly, so they could only remain silent.
LiXun smiled, glanced at both of them, said, "Speaking of this, I thought of something again, why did your sect's WenMin senior sister, when we were about to enter the ten thousand great mountains, suddenly rushed back to Qing Yun Hill?"
Zeng ShuShu was surprised, couldn't help but looked at Anan beside him, then smiled and said, "Haven't we already told Li senior brother about this, WenMin senior sister had something on at the last minute and had no choice but to rush back."
Anan who was beside him slightly lowered her eyes, did not speak. The reason why WenMin rushed back to Qing Yun Hill at the last minute, even Zeng ShuShu did not know, in the end, naturally it was because of that day in FenXiang Valley Mountain River Hall, Yun YiLan suddenly asked about the Zhu Xian sword's destruction.
Zeng ShuShu did not know the truth and treated it as a joke and forgot about it but after Anan and WenMin discussed it, they both felt that this matter was really not a trivial matter, after several deliberations, they finally decided that WenMin would rush back to Qing Yun Hill and report to the various elders and teachers, so that they could adapt to the situation. After all, the ancient Zhu Xian sword to Qing Yun sect, to the world's Good Faction, its significance was really too great. And FenXiang Valley which had always been on good terms with Qing Yun sect, and that valley master Yun YiLan, this time's unexpected performance, indistinctly had some unspeakable meaning in it, making people uneasy.
But the matter with the Beast Deity, was also extremely important and could not be given up. Therefore after the discussion, WenMin rushed back to Qing Yun Hill, Anan and Zeng ShuShu stayed behind. But in Anan and the rest's hearts, FenXiang Valley this powerful family, right now, seemed to be revealing strangeness everywhere.
Right now, Li Xun had already discussed with Zeng ShuShu for a long time, explaining the many things that needed to be taken note of after entering the Black Forest, Zeng ShuShu learnt many things that he had never heard before, couldn't help but felt his horizons widened, nodded incessantly, chatting happily with Li Xun.
Anan listened to those words, for some reason, felt slightly annoyed, stood up and walked to the side again, gazing into the distance. The indistinct mountain range stretched on endlessly, the high ground undulating, under the vast firmament, the cold wind whistled past.
Who knew what was waiting for them in front of them?
Qing Yun Hill, Big Bamboo Valley.
This morning, the time was still early, the sky had just brightened, the Big Bamboo Valley disciples had yet to wake up, light footsteps were heard from Observed Silence Hall, the next moment, it was Tian BuYi who uncharacteristically dressed in the early morning and walked out.
In the morning light, Tian BuYi's round face looked solemn, his brows frowning, looking like he had a lot on his mind. SuRu followed behind him, also walked out. Looking at the couple, not knowing if they had woken up early or had not slept the entire night.
SuRu's face was filled with worry, after walking out of Observed Silence Hall, she first glanced at the disciples' houses, after seeing that there was no one, she quietly said, "BuYi, I still feel that what you are doing is not appropriate, why don't we discuss again!"
Tian BuYi's face was gloomy, his brows did not show any signs of loosening, in a deep voice said, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer, ever since we returned from Founders Ancestral Hall, these few days, DaoXuan senior brother's condition is getting worse, yesterday news came from TongTian Peak, heard that he actually made a move on Fan elder and Xiao YiCai who went to persuade him."
SuRu was shocked, said, "What, sect head senior brother why did he make a move, what happened to them, how did they infuriate sect head senior brother, are they injured?"
Tian BuYi snorted, said, "What else can they do, naturally they saw DaoXuan senior brother's strange behaviour and went to persuade him, heard that DaoXuan senior brother was talking to them normally, but for some reason he suddenly flew into a rage, with one palm strike, immediately Fan senior brother was seriously injured, instead Xiao YiCai that kid was very alert, he actually escaped and instead is fine."
SuRu was stunned, frowned and said, "Xiao YiCai is actually fine?"
Tian BuYi clasped his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment, said, "He has always been intelligent, and has followed DaoXuan senior brother for many years, more or less he understands more than others. Most likely he had realised something was wrong beforehand, and so grasped the opportunity, and then luckily escaped. But luckily he is alert, then had time to save Fan senior brother and treat his injuries, if not who knows what would have happened! "
SuRu was silent for a long time, her face uncertain, after a long time she said, "He, he has already become like this, why do you still want to see him?"
Tian BuYi took a deep breath, said, "It's fine if others don't know, don't tell me you also don't know why I want to see him?"
SuRu quietly said, "But, he... sect head senior brother right now his heart devil has entered his body, nobody knows what exactly he is thinking, and his skills are so high, far higher than you and me, this time you took the risk to go, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Towards the end, SuRu's voice became softer, at the end it was already difficult to hear, obviously she herself was unwilling to say it.
Tian BuYi sighed, turned and stared at SuRu, stretched out his hand and gently held SuRu's slender hand, gently said, "You and I have been husband and wife for a lifetime, of course I know what you are worried about. With your heart, even if something happens to me, I won't care... "
SuRu frowned, interrupted him, angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Tian BuYi nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "You know, the secret of Zhu Xian ancient sword is Qing Yun sect's top secret, only sect head alone knows about it. Just that during the Wildlands battle, me, Zeng ShuChang and a few of us followed Wan senior brother to battle thousands of miles of yellow sand, by chance we found out about this secret. After which the few of us were in the Founders Ancestral Hall, in front of Qing Yun sect's past generations of ancestors, made a heavy vow, in this lifetime, we will never reveal this secret. "
SuRu sighed, said, "Why are you mentioning this again, I was also there at that time, made the same vow as all of you, how can I not remember?"
Tian BuYi awe-inspiringly said, "Ever since Qing Ye founder left his own words on the tablet, generations of ancestors have repeatedly warned, Zhu Xian ancient sword cannot be used lightly. In Qing Ye founder's tablet, it even clearly stated that Zhu Xian sword spirit is a supreme ferocious spirit, if the sword wielder's will is not firm, his foundation is not stable, he will fall into the evil way. Now DaoXuan senior brother's various visions, isn't it exactly fulfilling what the ancestors said! "
SuRu lowered her head, was silent for a long time.
Tian BuYi looked up at the slightly bright sky, far away, at the end of the morning mist, where the clouds lingered, the lofty towering TongTian Peak loomed indistinctly.
"These few years, DaoXuan senior brother has worked hard, reorganized our Qing Yun sect and made it prosperous, until now we look down on the world, leading the world's Good Faction." Tian BuYi's voice sounded, suddenly had some vicissitudes of life, "I have also thought, even if Wan senior brother really took the position of sect head, I'm afraid he might not be able to do better than DaoXuan senior brother."
SuRu's body trembled slightly, quietly called out, "BuYi …" but the latter words, she seemed to want to say but stopped.
Tian BuYi clasped his hands behind, his expression a little dazed, said, "These many years, although I am still secretly worshipping Wan senior brother's memorial tablet, but towards DaoXuan senior brother, honestly speaking, I really admire him more and more, although we often quarrel but towards the way he conducts himself, I have nothing to say, even ten years ago, when he used Zhu Xian sword to strike lao qi …"
"BuYi, don't say anymore!" SuRu suddenly shouted out, for some reason, looking at Tian BuYi, her eyes turned red.
Tian BuYi's facial muscles twitched, forced out a smile, but there was no smile, only heartache, "The person who understands me the most in the world, is you. That battle ten years ago, I, I … "he heaved a long sigh, said," I really can't bear to leave lao qi! In this group of disciples, although that kid is the most unpleasant to the eye, but I still … ai! "
Following his long sigh, the two of them did not speak, until after a while, Tian BuYi smiled bitterly as if mocking himself, said, "After that day, I was also deeply dissatisfied with DaoXuan senior brother, lao qi was raised by me, these ten years, don't tell me I still don't know what kind of person he is? If there is anything, it is also me who teaches him, maybe there is still room to turn things around. But that sword, heh heh, lao qi is still fine, first it killed BiYao, now it's great, lao qi will have to rebel even if he doesn't want to. With his stubborn temperament, I'm afraid his entire life will be ruined by that sword. "
"But, these few years, I occasionally reflect on myself, when I recall this matter, I also thought, if I was DaoXuan senior brother's position, this sword, would I do it or not?"
SuRu stared at her husband, did not say a word, only silently gently held his hand, using her hand to pat the back of his palm, with a trace of comfort.
Tian BuYi faintly smiled, with some helplessness, facing SuRu, smiled and said, "If it was me, I'm afraid in the end I would still have to do that sword."
As if she already knew this answer, SuRu quietly lowered her head, did not speak.
Tian BuYi also became silent, staring at the direction of TongTian Peak.
After a long while, SuRu suddenly said, "Since you have made up your mind, why don't I accompany you to see DaoXuan senior brother!"
Tian BuYi shook his head, said, "You better don't go, if there are too many people, it will be hard to talk. DaoXuan senior brother became like this today, it is all for the common people and Qing Yun sect, it's fine if I don't know, but since I know the secret, I definitely cannot sit back and do nothing, I have to see if there is still room for improvement. I can only hope DaoXuan senior brother's skills are profound, and can wake up from that viciousness. Or else … "
Speaking till here, his voice stopped abruptly.
SuRu looked at him, suddenly smiled, the melancholy on her face immediately disappeared, changing into an expression of heartache and love, softly said, "Alright, don't say anymore."
Tian BuYi and her had been together for a long time, both of them had long understood each other, right now, he stared at SuRu for a long while, eventually did not speak, only nodded. After a while, he turned around, his wide sleeves, started to shine with scarlet red light.
Seeing that his Crimson Flame celestial sword was about to be drawn out, SuRu behind him, called again, "BuYi …" that voice, although not very loud but the agitation, full of tenderness, was all in these two short words.
Tian BuYi turned back, looked at his wife, SuRu's face was full of reluctance, tears indistinctly glistening in her eyes. After a long while, Tian BuYi suddenly smiled, waved his hand, his lips moved but still did not say anything, turned and drew out the Crimson Flame celestial sword, with a whistle, soared into the sky.
That scarlet red light, swept across the horizon, straight into the clouds. At first the clouds rolled, one after another retreated, and then surrounded from all directions, gradually drowning his figure.
Only SuRu was left, staring blankly at the horizon, not knowing how long she had stood, on her hair, a few morning dew drops, crystal clear, like pearls, quietly fell.
