There was darkness and silence in the Tiancai passage, so silent that even time seemed to have stood still.

"Junior brother, it's been such a long time." Wu Qing broke the silence with a smile.

Zhao Lan just stood there motionless, looking at him intently, as if he had turned into a wooden sculpture.

"Junior brother, why don't you speak?" Wu Qing scratched her head and turned to ask Yu Ling: "Is there any water? I'd better wipe my face, otherwise junior brother won't be able to recognize me."

Zhao Lan stepped through the void step by step. He lowered his head slightly and couldn't see the expression on his face. When Wu Qing was washing his face randomly, he suddenly said: "Senior Brother, you still have nothing.

Change.”

"Although it seems like a long time has passed, to me, it feels like I just said goodbye to you yesterday. But, little junior brother, you won't cry, right?" Wu Qing joked with a smile.

He strode forward, gave Zhao Lan a strong hug, then patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad, have you reached the realm of chaos? Junior brother is worthy of being a Daoxuan body, hand over the sect to

There will definitely be no problem for you, my vision is so good..."

Wu Qing talked a lot, while Zhao Lan said nothing, but the cold and solemn aura on his body was invisibly weakened a lot, and the whole person was in a very relaxed state.

"Elder brother." Zhao Lan suddenly interrupted Wu Qing's words and looked into his eyes seriously, "When Wan'er went to the Western Region alone, I actually had a lot of things to say to her, but in the end I couldn't even say a single sentence

No promises."

The smile on Wu Qing's face faded, and she vaguely realized what Zhao Lan wanted to say next.

"I regretted her just after she left. When I heard the news later, it became a lifelong regret."

Zhao Lan slightly lowered his eyelids and said: "I don't have many people I care about in my life, so senior brother, do you know how desperate I was that day when I woke up from the Western Region and heard the news that Tianxue Star had been captured?

?I rushed back from the Western Territory desperately, and what I saw was dripping minced flesh and blood mixed with broken bones. I couldn't even find a few complete corpses."

Wu Qing's expression froze, and he was about to speak, but Zhao Lan interrupted first: "At that time, I stood in the bloody ruins, feeling that there was no point in living for me. The only thing that kept me from falling was

The only thing left behind is the hatred engraved in my soul and the responsibility you imposed on me."

"I am not a responsible person, and I don't want to be a sect leader. In fact, I was still weak at that time, and no one was willing to follow my orders and treat me as a sect leader."

"I even miss the old days a little. Although I am a loser with the lowest cultivation level, Master, Wan'er, and you are all here, which is good. Unlike now, although I am the master of a sect, I can't

Nothing."

Wu Qing, who had always been enthusiastic and talkative, didn't know what to say at this moment and seemed a little at a loss. On the contrary, Zhao Lan, who had always been taciturn, didn't stop talking.

He is no longer the dumb Zhao that everyone laughed at. Wu Qing has not changed much in the past three thousand years, but he has changed too much.

"Elder brother, come back to the sect with me. It doesn't matter who becomes the sect leader, but whatever happens in the future, we will bear it together, okay?"

Zhao Lan said every word: "Even if I die, I don't want to live a difficult life with so many regrets."

"Okay." Wu Qing pursed her lips and tried hard to smile, but tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes.

"I'm so hopeless. I didn't expect that I would cry first as a sign of respect." Wu Qing wiped her face harshly, and when she raised her head again, she had put on a smile as bright as the sun.

"It's senior brother who was wrong. From now on, we brothers will fight side by side. If you don't believe me, I will swear an oath?" Wu Qing raised a hand.

Zhao Lan said lightly: "We have reached this level, what's the use of swearing."

"You are in the Chaos Realm. I have been standing still for the past three thousand years. I should still be in the Solid Yuan Realm. Why is it useless?" Wu Qing retorted.

"I have never seen such a powerful Guyuan warrior." Zhao Lan said expressionlessly.

"Huh? I'm such a weakling now, how can I be so good?" Wu Qing looked surprised, and it didn't look like he was faking it.

"Senior Wu, are you serious?" Yu Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Seriously, why are you two looking at me like that? I'm a little confused." Wu Qing wiped her arms uncomfortably.

The corner of Zhao Lan's mouth twitched, and suddenly his figure sank slightly, and he punched him with no intention of holding back.

Yu Ling's eyes blurred, and before she could react, the two fists and palms intersected in the electric light and flint, making a muffled sound, and then each stepped back a certain distance.

If you look carefully, you can see that it was Zhao Lan who was at a disadvantage, while Wu Qing just swayed slightly and retreated a few meters before regaining his balance.

This is not to say that Zhao Lan is not as strong as him, but because...

"Junior brother, why are you silent and playing sneak attack?" Wu Qing looked confused.

"If you haven't reached the realm of chaos, you won't be able to withstand my punch. However, senior brother has to get used to your current strength." Zhao Lan said calmly.

"But I..." Wu Qing had a look of confusion on his face. He looked at his hand, everything was normal, but a mysterious force suddenly surged out from nowhere, and he suddenly followed up with Zhao Lan's blow.

Although Zhao Lan probably didn't use all his strength, it was enough to explain something.

Wu Qing closed her eyes and looked inside. After a while, she opened her eyes in a daze, and said at a loss: "My profound strength... is gone, but the Tianxuan Jue is still running with an indescribable energy. How can this be?"

Something happened."

The King of Bugs shook his tentacles, walked around Wu Qing, thought for a while and said: "Strictly speaking, you are no longer a living person, but have become a dead creature similar to the netherworld like me...

...Ahem, it’s useless for you to stare at me, Zhao Lan, just take a look for yourself, there’s no trace of life left in him, he’s full of death!”

"I... am already dead?" Wu Qing was stunned and murmured: "Yes, I have been dead for a long time, three thousand years ago..."

Seeing that Zhao Lan's face was getting more and more ugly, the King of Bugs quickly added: "Hey, that's not what I meant. Look at me, I'm still alive and kicking."

Zhao Lan stretched out his hand and pressed Wu Qing's pulse, and the cold death energy immediately spread to him like a substance. Wu Qing himself was a little unable to control it.

"The Tianxue Jue is still functioning?" Zhao Lan asked.

"Yes, although his strength has completely changed, his skills seem to be unaffected." Wu Qing answered subconsciously, still confused as to whether he was dead or alive.

"What exactly happened that year?" Zhao Lan asked again.

Wu Qing said sadly: "My memory is a little blurry and intermittent. Because this disaster was entirely caused by my impulse. If I had endured it, maybe I wouldn't have..."

Zhao Lan interrupted: "What's the use of forbearance? Why bother to inflict crimes? Unless the entire Tianxue Sect becomes their vassal, how can the two major spiritual clans stop?"

Wu Qing smiled bitterly: "There is no need to comfort me, it is my responsibility after all... I watched Elder Li and Elder Qi die in front of me, without even leaving their bodies, but I, the sect leader, was so weak that

They imprisoned me in a light curtain and let me continue to watch my fellow disciples die one after another..."

Wu Qing's voice gradually condensed into ice, because the memory that he didn't want to touch was bloodyly torn open in front of him again, making his heart twist like a knife and the pain penetrated to his bones.

He was silent for two seconds and skipped the tragic war: "In the end, I tried my best to break out of the light curtain, killed many, many people, and then jumped into the cave with my dying body, and the two great spirits

The people from the tribe are chasing after me."

"The aura of death permeated my whole body. I used my last consciousness to reverse the Tianxun Jue, and then a burst of profound energy burst out in a very short time, wanting to die with them."

"I don't know what happened next. When I woke up, it was now." Wu Qing was lost in thought.

"Forward direction is life, reverse direction is death? Tianxue Jue can transform life and death, but before that, except for the ancestors, no one could do it. Could it be that senior brother..." Zhao Lan thought thoughtfully.

"No, there must be other reasons. Simply reversing the technique will only completely put yourself in a dead situation." Zhao Lan shook his head again.

Yu Ling suddenly spoke: "Sect Master Zhao, do you still remember Cha Ming said that the ancestor of Tianxue is everywhere?"

Zhao Lan's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"

Yu Ling said slowly: "This state... is very similar to the transformation of the Tao, neither life nor death. Maybe the ancestor of Tianxuan is secretly protecting Senior Wu."

"Has the ancestor transformed into the Tao?" Zhao Lan was silent for a while, "There is no better explanation."

How difficult it is to reach the realm of immortality. Throughout the ages, many great figures and heroes have fallen into the darkness on the eve of dawn.

Transformation seems inevitable, maybe this is the final destination of all living beings.

"Although we didn't find the ancestor of the Tianxuan this time, it's good to have found Senior Wu. It's just that it's not easy to go back to the Yang Realm in the reverse direction." Yu Ling said.

"Why do I think it's not difficult?" Wu Qing thought for a while, took a step, and pressed her right palm on the invisible boundary.

In an instant, Yin and Yang were reversed, and the Netherworld River seemed to be pulled by some force, rolling in in a mighty manner. The monstrous waves crashed against the barrier between Yin and Yang. Yu Ling only felt a buzz in his mind, and briefly lost his mind.

Awareness.

"We don't have much time, let's go!" Wu Qing pulled him up and passed him by like a leisurely stroll in the wildly rushing Netherworld River. The King of Bugs also hurriedly flicked his tail and rolled up Yu Ling's sleeves, while his younger brothers

One by one, they were floating up and down in the river, like a black streamer.

"Are you leaving?"

A white shadow emerged from the river, it was Cha Ming who ran away to nowhere.

"Yes, we are going back to the Yang Realm, you can stay in the Netherworld." Zhao Lan took the time to respond.

"How about coming together? Master asked me to follow you." Tea floated over.

"Can you hear what the ancestor is saying?" Zhao Lan was startled.

"The master didn't say anything, I felt it." Cha Ming said.

"What about the Resentful Spirit Tribe?" Yu Ling felt that this group of people was really miserable. After finally finding a king, he was about to faint in the netherworld crying.

"Then, I'll call them." Cha Ming thought for a while.

When Yu Ling thought of the dense number of people in the Resentful Spirit Clan, and then looked at the many younger brothers of the Gnats and Bugs King, those who didn't know about this scene would have thought that Netherworld was about to invade the Yang Realm.

But what's amazing is that the originally insurmountable barrier was broken down so easily. Maybe the ancestor of Tiancai is really protecting them?

"Ancestor, please rest assured that the Tianxue Sect will reappear in the world one day and will never let down your hard work." Zhao Lan turned around, bowed to the endless depths of darkness, and said firmly.

The Netherworld River flowed gently around him, turning into a gentle force that pushed everyone out of the Netherworld.
