The silver light gradually disappeared, but the darkness did not submerge again. The explosion of the Yuan Mortal Stage puppet directly tore the clouds high in the sky, allowing the moonlight to illuminate the entire Yuanhai City. But under this brightness, a mess was still there.

The leakage continues.

The crackling and shattering sounds continued to sound, the faint firelight also continued to dance, and slight moans sounded all around.

"Cough cough cough!"

Several consecutive coughs rang out in the void, suppressing the rest of the sounds. A handsome young man waved away the smoke and dust around him. He frowned, and suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and coughed again. This time, he continued to cough.

It took about ten breaths. After the coughing ended, he subconsciously looked at the palm of his hand.

A pool of bright red blood appeared on the palm of his hand. After looking at it, the handsome young man couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"I really didn't expect that I would self-destruct in the end."

He muttered softly and looked down.

"Hi~ So cruel!"

Although he had already anticipated the scene below, he still couldn't help but take a breath after actually seeing it.

The situation below cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. All you can see is a bottomless pit. Those crackling sounds are just that the buildings on the edge of the pit are still shattering. As for the huge pit,

The original objects where the pit was located had long been wiped out in the silver light.

The handsome young man only heard a slight moan, and he knew that it was from the monks who were far away. He also knew why he did not hear the cries and noises of ordinary people. If the estimate is correct, the crater is several miles in radius.

All ordinary people should have died in the aftermath of the explosion.

"Hey! I didn't expect this to happen. If I had known, I would have lured this puppet away from Yuanhai City."

Sighing with a heavy heart, the handsome young man shook his head with regret.

Somewhere on the relatively complete ground, with a flash of khaki light, two figures slowly emerged from the light. These two people were none other than Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue, who escaped just before the puppet exploded.

The two people ran in time and very fast, but no matter how fast they ran, they still had no time to avoid the aftermath of the explosion. At the moment before the explosion, Xu Chenglin's mind was particularly clear, or he knew how much he weighed. He knew it.

Unable to escape the impact of the explosion, Xu Chenglin wisely took Chen Luoxue and used the Earth Escape Technique to go directly underground.

Relying on the earth's sharing of the power of the explosion, the two of them did not suffer much damage. Of course, a period of dizziness was unavoidable, but it was much lighter than other monks. Those monks who escaped in the air were usually

The least affected by the explosion was a mouthful of blood.

Stars flashed before his eyes, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, and even his head felt dizzy. Xu Chenglin shook his head for a long time before he gradually woke up. For the first time, he looked at Chen Luoxue beside him.

When he discovered that Chen Luoxue was looking at him almost at the same time, Xu Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

As long as everything is fine, Chen Luoxue is fine. This may be the only thing Xu Chenglin feels comforted about now.

Both of them were safe and sound, and they were relieved. However, when they turned their attention away from each other, what they saw made them worried again. The two immediately discovered

, a bottomless huge pit was only about twenty feet away from them, and some broken buildings were still cracking into it.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then they suddenly realized what was going on. A layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs, and the two of them were a little lucky despite being frightened. They were only twenty feet away, and they had entered the explosion range. At that time,

What the situation would be like, neither of them even dared to think about it.

After rejoicing, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue's faces suddenly turned a little pale. They heard a moan, a very slight moan.

The two of them have also worked hard in the spiritual world for more than ten years, and they can only judge the current situation. Although their reaction is slow, they can still figure out the relationship between Junlang Qing and Junlang Qing.

They made the same judgment as before. The two looked at each other subconsciously, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

A bottomless pit occupied about one-tenth of the area of ​​Yuanhai City. The buildings and creatures on the spot disappeared in the silver light that pierced the night. How many people disappeared in total?

It is impossible to count now. But to say the least, even thousands of people cannot be defeated. The only thing to be thankful for is that this huge pit is only located on the edge of Yuanhai City. Otherwise, it is impossible to estimate how many people will die.

"This...how could this happen..."

Xu Chenglin's voice trembled, and his tone was even choked with sobs.

Chen Luoxue's eyes were moist, she pursed her lips and shook her head gently. After a few breaths, she uttered a few words with difficulty.

"It's not our fault."

Afraid that Xu Chenglin would get into trouble, Chen Luoxue wanted to say something to comfort him. But as soon as she said these words, she felt her heart become heavy.

Xu Chenglin closed his eyes slightly, exhaled a trembling breath, and then nodded slowly. How could he not know what Chen Luoxue meant. But so many casualties were more or less related to them.

After breathing for a moment, Xu Chenglin finally calmed down a little. Turning his head to look at the worry in Chen Luoxue's eyes, Xu Chenglin gave her a comforting smile. But little did he know that his smile was uglier than crying.

But it was this smile that was uglier than crying that made Chen Luoxue choke with laughter. She was guilty, but she couldn't stay immersed in guilt. Seeing that Xu Chenglin didn't get into trouble, Chen Luoxue was finally relieved.

"Let's go, let's go up and let Senior Yuefan wait for us."

After taking a long breath, Xu Chenglin reluctantly spoke to Chen Luoxue.

"Um."

With a soft response, the two of them tiptoed to the ground and slowly flew towards the handsome young man in the air.

The age of the practitioners cannot be distinguished at all from their appearance. For example, the handsome young man in front of me has reached the transcendent stage of cultivation, but his appearance is similar to that of Xu Chenglin, and there is no sign of aging at all. However, in fact, this

No one knows how old a person is.

Although Xu Chenglin had not stayed at Jiuhua Academy for a long time, his impression was that he had never seen this person before. He dared to conclude that this person was definitely not a new generation of monks like them.

Before Xu Chenglin could speak, the handsome young man had already spoken first.

"After receiving your summons, I rushed over without stopping. However, I encountered obstacles along the way, so I came a little late. I really didn't expect that I would eventually stop the person, but it would end like this. Countless times.

Thousands of ordinary people were killed in the explosion. If I had known this, I should have lured the puppet away from Yuanhai City. I was careless!"

The handsome young man shouldered all the responsibilities on his shoulders, and Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It’s common to see people taking credit, but it’s rare to see people taking the blame. At this moment, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue’s guilt subsided a lot unknowingly. The two looked at each other, and for a moment they didn’t know whether to cry or not.

laugh.

After a few breaths, Xu Chenglin slowly spoke.

"Senior, I can't blame you for this. I can only blame the enemy for being ruthless. Who would have thought that a puppet that transcends the mortal stage will eventually self-destruct. To be honest, that puppet should be able to get away if he does not hesitate to consume it. It is a

No normal person would think he would blow himself up."

"Ha! You are good at comforting people, but this person's rumored dullness is a bit inconsistent."

With a chuckle, the handsome young man looked at Xu Chenglin and said.

Xu Chenglin was slightly stunned. He was confident that he didn't know the person in front of him, but from the other person's words, he seemed to know himself.

Seeing Xu Chenglin's doubts, the handsome young man smiled slightly and said.

"There are countless monks in the sect, but in recent years there are not many monks who are qualified to enter the mortal realm. We will naturally pay attention to one or two of these monks."

Xu Chenglin nodded slowly, finally understanding what was going on. He exhaled and slowly told what happened before. At the end, he remembered what happened to Xu Sanshan. He couldn't help but frown and wanted to ask.

The situation of Xu Sanshan.

As if he saw what Xu Chenglin wanted to ask, the handsome young man spoke slowly.

"The half-step Yue Fan died in the explosion a long time ago. If I guessed correctly, the Yue Mortal stage puppet finally blew himself up, probably because he didn't want that person to fall into our hands."

Xu Chenglin nodded slowly after hearing this. When Xu Sanshan died, a knot in his heart was relieved.

After thinking for a moment, the handsome young man said again.

"You two, don't feel guilty. No one in this world lives for others, and no one dies for others. Even if it wasn't you today, honestly speaking, these people may not be able to survive. Who can imagine that for one person,

Those guys have no scruples."

Having said this, the handsome young man couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"In the past, they only operated in secret and did not dare to be so unscrupulous. But now, they dare to openly create a plague! They have turned from light to dark. Maybe it won't be too long before we have to fight with them...

..."

After hearing half of what the handsome young man said, Xu Chenglin subconsciously wanted to ask why he didn't do it earlier. But before he could ask the question, the handsome young man smiled and spoke.

"You want to ask us why we didn't deal with them earlier? Haha, how can it be so easy? Where there is light, there is darkness, and most of the time the stewards can't see the darkness under their feet. They are already well hidden, plus

The existence of internal response is not that they come out on their own initiative, so where can we find them?"

Xu Chenglin sighed and nodded slowly to express his understanding.

"Hey! It's not easy. I wrongly blamed you seniors."

After hearing this, the handsome young man actually smiled.

"Why do these words sound so old-fashioned? I don't even feel old, but you look very old-fashioned. Besides, don't call me senior, I am only twenty years older than you, so I can be regarded as saving your life.

"Fate, it shouldn't be unfair to call me uncle."

Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue could easily tell the joking tone in the handsome young man's tone. The two calmed down and smiled, respectfully calling them uncle.

The handsome young man responded with a smile, and then asked the two of them again.

"What are your plans next? Do you want to go back to Jiuhua Academy with me later, or do you have other arrangements."

Mentioning this, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue couldn't help but look at each other. They originally planned to practice immediately afterwards, but because they were disturbed by this incident, they had no intention of practicing at all. Now, the two of them really don't know what to do next.

What to do.

As if he had read through their thoughts, the handsome young man touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Looking at the looks of you two, I have an idea. Instead of following me back to the sect to practice, it's better to go out and relax. That's fine, I'll point you to a place."

The two looked at each other and said with fists in their hands.

"Please ask uncle for some advice."

"It's easy to talk, but you have to be careful yourself. The outside is different from the sect, especially now it's a bit chaotic. It's just the two of you, so be careful and there should be no problem."

The handsome young man's lips moved slightly to transmit the sound. Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue listened and nodded slightly. After that, the handsome young man asked the two of them to leave first. The two of them would not be able to help with the next thing. After all, they would die instantly.

There were too many people, and he, a transcendent monk, needed to come forward and explain.

Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, they nodded and said goodbye to the handsome young man.

Before leaving, Xu Chenglin looked back and took a deep look at Yuanhai City. He felt that he would never come to this place again. This trip to Yuanhai City was a break with this place. But this time
Chapter completed!
