Ghost Li's body moved slightly, slowly woke up from his dazed state, flipped over and sat up on the bed but still felt a little dizzy, with his current high skills, it was really rare to see such a situation. But Ghost Li did not seem to mind this at all, composed himself, heaved a long sigh and turned around, suddenly he was surprised, a jade plate was lying on the stone floor, emitting a gentle white glow, it was the Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate, and Xiao Hui the monkey was also crouching beside the jade plate, seemed to be curious about it, looking left and right, a few times it tried to stretch out its hand to touch the plate but every time it would retract halfway, as if it was afraid of the jade plate.
Ghost Li frowned, concentrated and pondered for a while but he could not recall if he had dropped the plate or not, not only that, he could not even remember how he came back from the cold stone chamber, most likely it was because he was too disappointed and his mental state was not up to par.
Ghost Li was silent and then gave a bitter laugh, sighed and quietly got off the bed, bent down to pick up the Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate from the ground. Xiao Hui sat on the ground, raised its head and looked at Ghost Li, its three eyes bright and full of expression, not knowing what it was thinking. Ghost Li gently waved to the monkey, said, "Come here, Xiao Hui."
Xiao Hui [Zi zi] called out twice and jumped over, in a few leaps it was already on Ghost Li's body but it seemed to still be wary of the Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate in Ghost Li's hand, in the end it did not stay in Ghost Li's embrace and instead jumped onto Ghost Li's shoulder, sat down and then looked at the jade plate in Ghost Li's hand.
Ghost Li did not think too much, stretched out his hand and caressed Xiao Hui's body, in this world only this monkey, would always stay by his side. After a while, his gaze fell on the Qian Kun Samsara Plate again. In the soft white light, the jade plate was still the same as before. In the center of the jade plate, the countless small jade pieces were still following their own magical and unique tracks, endlessly gliding, as if nothing had happened.
Ghost Li silently stared at the jade plate in his hand, the white light from the jade plate also shone on his face, just that he did not know what kind of secret was in it, deeply hidden.
Ghost Li looked for a long time, eventually shook his head gently, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, took the black cloth, wrapped the Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate properly and placed it back into his bosom. Xiao Hui who was lying on Ghost Li's shoulder had been watching Ghost Li's movements, when Ghost Li put the jade plate back into his bosom, Xiao Hui suddenly called out, Ghost Li turned his head, puzzled, frowned and said, "What is it, Xiao Hui?"
Xiao Hui scratched its head but seemed to be unable to tell what was wrong or important, could only spread out its hands and shrugged its shoulders. Ghost Li patted Xiao Hui's head and did not mind it too much, sat for a while and suddenly said, "Xiao Hui, how long have I been lying for?"
Xiao Hui's three eyes turned, called out and at the same time gestured with its hands, Ghost Li looked at it for a while, slowly said, "It has been so long, then let's go out for a walk." He paused, stood up and at the same time carried Xiao Hui in his bosom and gently stroked it, his expression a little dejected but he took a long breath and indifferently said, "No matter what, we still have to live on, right?"
Xiao Hui's three eyes kept turning, not knowing if it understood Ghost Li's words but Ghost Li did not have the energy to ponder over it, gently patted Xiao Hui's back, Xiao Hui conveniently climbed up his shoulder, Ghost Li walked towards the stone door, in the muffled sound of the door opening, they walked out.
Outside the stone room, the passageways were still extending in all directions, just that those increasingly denser and thicker cracks, strongly reminded the people here, that unknown strange existence and danger. Ghost Li stood at the door for a while, his eyes landed on those big and small cracks on the passageway.
Some of these cracks, were already extremely huge, from the top of the passageway to the ground, exposing the grey rocks, the originally solid stone walls after these cracks, seemed to be as fragile as a thin piece of paper. Ghost Li slowly walked to one of the cracks, expressionlessly stared at it for a long time.
Then, he looked up at the top of the passageway, frowned slightly, these cracks only appeared after he left Majestic Fox Mountain last time, naturally he could not understand in a moment but when he was in the cold stone room, he clearly remembered that mysterious power that suddenly appeared, its source was deep underground. But looking at the cracks on the surrounding walls, instead the top of the passageway was the most seriously damaged, the walls on both sides were second, and the passageway under his feet, seemed to be unscathed, other than a few small cracks, not a single big crack could be seen.
Ghost Li pondered for a moment, suddenly shook his head, a trace of impatience flashed past his eyes, seemed like his state of mind was too bad, although these cracks looked extremely strange but he really did not have the mood to investigate further. Composing himself, Ghost Li no longer looked at the crisscrossing cracks, brought Xiao Hui to one side of the passageway.
The passageway stretched all the way, what was different from usual was, this place was much quieter than usual, the Ghost King sect disciples seemed to rather hide in their own rooms and no one was willing to come out and walk, in the huge passageway, often only Ghost Li's figure was left.
But Ghost Li clearly did not care about these, looking at the direction he was heading, he was heading towards the entrance of the cave, not knowing if it was because he was too vexed and wanted to go out for a walk. His footsteps reverberated in the passageway, because it was too quiet, it sounded much louder than usual. Xiao Hui crouched on his shoulder, seemed to be unaccustomed to this kind of excessive silence, its head turned here and there, looking around.
Suddenly, Xiao Hui's head stopped, looked ahead, Ghost Li also seemed to feel something at the same time, stopped, looked ahead, the empty passageway ahead was still empty but after a moment, there was movement, a black figure quietly drifted over.
It was actually that elusive, mysterious and unfathomable Mr Ghost.
Mr Ghost at the same time also saw Ghost Li standing alone in front, seemed to be stunned, stopped his steps.
Both of them looked at each other for a while but did not speak, the atmosphere in the passageway turned cold and awkward, finally Mr Ghost indifferently said, "When did you return?"
Ghost Li indifferently said, "Just returned not long ago."
Mr Ghost nodded, seemed to have nothing more to say, anyway he had already said a word, considered as a greeting, unhurriedly walked forward, Ghost Li quietly moved aside. Just that when Mr Ghost walked past Ghost Li, he suddenly stopped, looking at his actions, there seemed to be a rare hesitation, after a moment said, "You said you just returned not long ago?"
Ghost Li indifferently said, "Yes, what is it?"
Mr Ghost hesitated for a moment, seemed to be deliberating over his words, slowly said, "Then you … do you sense … something wrong here?"
Ghost Li glanced at Mr Ghost, said, "What do you mean?"
Mr Ghost was silent again, then shook his head, indifferently said, "No, nothing, I will leave first." After speaking, he walked straight ahead, did not speak another word.
Ghost Li looked at his figure from behind, Mr Ghost's black figure gradually walked further away in the passageway, drifting erratically, at a glance he looked like a Yin spirit but his movements were much slower than usual, in Ghost Li's eyes, Mr Ghost's movements were slow and not in a straight line, from time to time leaning against the walls, especially when he reached a place with a stone room, Mr Ghost would intentionally or unintentionally approach the stone room, paused for a moment and then continued.
For some reason, it seemed like he was looking for something?
Ghost Li indifferently turned around, even if Mr Ghost was really looking for something, to him it was also not something that he would care about. Following the original direction, Ghost Li continued to walk forward. This time, he did not meet anyone along the way. Soon, he reached the entrance of the cave.
When Ghost Li walked out of the cave, a ray of sunlight, with some warmth, spilled onto his face.
He squinted his eyes slightly, breathed deeply, in the sunlight, in the light, the stone in his heart, finally lightened a little.
Qing Yun Hill, TongTian Peak.
As the days passed, Qing Yun sect head Reverend DaoXuan did not appear even once, with Reverend DaoXuan's identity as the world's Good Faction leader, this naturally was not a trivial matter, and Xiao YiCai who had been hiding this matter and secretly searching, the pressure on him was also increasing day by day.
Outside Qing Yun sect, from time to time there would be various Good Faction sects coming over to inquire, those were easy to brush off but Qing Yun sect itself had many factions, Reverend DaoXuan also did not really pass the position of sect leader to Xiao YiCai, therefore many matters to handle, Xiao YiCai was rather tricky. And Qing Yun sect various branches had always focused on TongTian Peak, seeing that there was something fishy with their own sect head and there was no news for many days, and the news from the main sect, other than seclusion and seclusion, in the end seclusion could no longer be brushed off, Xiao YiCai and the rest simply said that Reverend DaoXuan had already gone out to wander and relax, nobody knew his whereabouts.
Speaking of which, Xiao YiCai could not be blamed, Reverend DaoXuan's current situation, among the thousands of Qing Yun sect disciples, only Small Bamboo Valley ShuiYue Master and Lu XueQi, and Big Bamboo Valley Tian BuYi and SuRu couple, who were originally a great help, passed away. If ShuiYue Master and Lu XueQi did not say, how would the others know about Qing Yun sect's big secret, they could only question Xiao YiCai.
And at this moment, Xiao YiCai's face showed fatigue, his entire person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, compared to his usual smart and capable, energetic look, it was really a huge difference, one could imagine how much pressure he was shouldering right now. And he still could not rest, in the TongTian Peak Crystal Hall where he was at, the other six branches of Qing Yun sect on this day seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, came together to TongTian Peak to ask what exactly happened to sect head, why did he not show up for such a long time, this was something that had never happened before.
Qing Yun six branches, most of the leaders were present, only Small Bamboo Valley leader ShuiYue Master did not come, her most famous disciple Lu XueQi also did not come, but Lu XueQi senior sister WenMin came. The rest of the leaders mostly sat in the middle, among them, the most eye-catching one, was Big Bamboo Valley leader, in the end, the position was still taken over by eldest disciple Xavion.
In the crowd, Xavion was still in mourning clothes, obviously still observing mourning for his teacher and teacher's wife, his expression was also rather gloomy, occasionally his eyes swept past the crowd, inadvertently saw Small Bamboo Valley WenMin standing opposite him, gently nodded to him.
Xavion was silent, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, forced a smile at WenMin but very quickly lowered his head again, obviously still immersed in grief. WenMin's eyes flashed with sadness, her face also looked somewhat gloomy.
Although today's gathering was a gathering of the six branches but the leader naturally was not Xavion, QiHao these new second generation young disciples, Return of the Wind Valley leader Zeng ShuChang and the rest naturally were the ones who did not give way, immediately started to question Xiao YiCai.
Although Xiao YiCai had been handling the sect's daily affairs for a period of time but after all Reverend DaoXuan did not pass the position of sect head to him, so instead he had to stand and reply to these leaders, without a seat, right now in the middle of the hall, Qing Yun sect sect head Reverend's chair was empty, Xiao YiCai was standing beside this big chair, with a bitter smile on his face, answering everyone's questions.
