After the war, Anling City was devastated, and the prosperity of the past could no longer be seen.

The dilapidated city is surrounded by endless abyss, looking extremely lonely and desolate.

However, for Yu Ling today, with just a thought, the mountains, rivers, grass and trees move with it, as if an earth dragon turns over under the abyss, the deep soil rumbles, and in a few breaths, this ugly hole is filled.

.

A strong gust of wind blew past, and the uneven ground was polished smooth, and all the dust disappeared together with it.

Finally, there is the concrete rain of Tao, falling from the void, moistening things silently, washing away the smell of blood, and bringing vitality to all things.

In a corner of the ruined wall, green grass blades tenaciously emerged from the gaps in the tiles, and a withered blue flower swayed in the drizzle of white light, looking delicate and beautiful.

Everything seemed to be back to how it was before the war, except for the dilapidated buildings that still looked a bit cold and cruel.

Yu Ling held Zi Chenruo's hand and walked slowly through the streets of Anling City, and finally came to the city lord's mansion, which had half of it collapsed.

"I asked why the world suddenly became quiet. It turns out that your kid is back."

Xu Yanting leaned against the pillar at the door, staring with bloodshot eyes, and said feebly.

"Senior Array Emperor and Senior Nan, thank you for your hard work." Yu Ling walked up the steps and saluted solemnly.

"Hey..." Xu Yanting wanted to hide away, so he waved his hands and said: "It's just an exchange of equal value. Anyway, what is the situation now? Will the Yuanling tribe come again?"

"No, at least Dengyunxing and the others have no time to take care of it. The next main battlefield is probably the northern border." Yu Ling said.

"Do you think you have completely broken with them?" Xu Yanting asked.

"Sooner or later, I have a pretty good grasp of the Yuanling Clan's situation anyway."

"But there are many experts from the Yuanling Clan, not to mention the Dao Ling Clan who are eyeing them. I'm afraid you can do it alone..."

"Of course it's not just me." Yu Ling said.

"Okay, seeing how confident you are, I just want to ask, when can we return to the southern border?" Xu Yanting said.

"We have to wait in the southern territory, because that area is mainly controlled by the Daoling clan. I'll do it step by step. It won't take too long," Yu Ling said.

Nan Yingtan, who had been listening quietly, then asked aloud: "What is the current situation of the royal family?"

"It hasn't changed much from before. Cai Ye has sole power, but in fact he is protecting King Nan in disguise. Even he can't help himself now. Most of the important positions in and outside the palace are occupied by Daoling clan members."

Nan Yingtan couldn't help being silent for a while: "It's not easy."

Yu Ling handed him a jade slip and said: "Senior Nan, these are some of my thoughts after breaking through to the realm of chaos. Because we all practice Guyang Jue, I think it can be of some reference to you."

"Thank you. I was just thinking that now that everything has calmed down, it's time for me to go to the Chaos Void to practice hard and strive to break through to the Chaos Realm as soon as possible." Nan Yingtan said seriously.

"Then do you have anything for me?" Xu Yanting said honestly and politely.

"I can only give senior a few prisoners."

"Prisoner? Do you mean..."

"Yes, it's the formation masters from the Yuanling Tribe. I think it's a pity to kill the technical talents. Besides, they are strictly neutral people, so it's better to put them to their best use."

"That's a good idea. I'll go talk to them about my experience after I get some rest." Xu Yanting said with satisfaction.

After greeting Nan Yingtan and the two of them, there was still a lot of aftermath work ahead of them. Before Yuling had time to chat with Zichenruo for a few more words, she got back into her busy work.

Fortunately, Zichenruo handled the matter in an extremely orderly manner, and by late at night, the situation in Anling City had returned to stability.

"It's been a tiring day, go and have a rest."

Yu Ling sent her to the door of the room and was about to turn around and leave when he heard her call out in a thin and soft voice: "Yu Ling."

He turned around and looked at her slim figure standing in the moonlight, with her head slightly lowered and squeezing the corners of her clothes, showing a rare tenderness.

"I still can't believe it, it's like I'm dreaming..." Zi Chenruo murmured.

"The faces of people in dreams are blurry. If you don't believe it, just look at me carefully." Yu Ling pressed her shoulder, moved slightly closer, and said with a smile.

Zi Chenruo looked at his face so close, her face felt a little feverish again, but this time she did not dodge, she looked into Yu Ling's eyes and said: "One night I was too tired, so I fell asleep in the study without knowing it.

I went through the past and had a very real dream.”

"In the dream, I put on a red wedding dress, and many people were combing my hair and putting on makeup. But when I went to the church, they suddenly told me that you were gone and that someone else was going to marry me. I was angry.

I had to push them away and rushed out, looking for you all over the world, but I couldn't find you."

"Until I rushed out of the courtyard gate, the scene suddenly changed and I came to the academy. You were walking alone on the tree-lined path, just like you did more than ten years ago."

"I chased your back desperately. It was obvious that you were not walking fast at all, but the distance between you and me was getting farther and farther. It was so far that I couldn't touch it. In the end, I could only

I watched you disappear into a white light."

"You turned around in the light, as if you saw me, and told me that you do not belong to this world, and you will eventually leave here and let me forget you."

"But how could I forget?"

"I rushed towards the white light, and the whole world dissolved into nothingness."

"When I suddenly woke up, I found that I had actually slept for just ten minutes, but in my dream, it seemed to be endless."

"Yuling, will you leave?" Zichenruo hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, the person in front of him would disappear like a bubble.

"Silly girl, you said you are so smart, why are you confused about this matter? Is this why you didn't agree to me?"

Yu Ling smiled hoarsely: "Tell me, where can I run?"

"I don't know, maybe back to your real hometown."

"Then why don't I take you with me?"

"I……"

"Assuming that your cultivation level is not enough, I will wait a few more years, decades, or hundreds of years. I believe that you will reach the stage of leaving the Tao no matter what."

Yu Ling gently stroked her hair and smiled slightly: "Even if it still doesn't work, why do I have to go back? There, I have no friends, no relatives, and no one I like, although mobile phones are quite fun.

, but without you, what’s the point of going back alone?”

"What is a mobile phone? A walkie-talkie?" Zi Chenruo asked curiously.

"The functions are much richer. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to play."

"Okay, it's settled."

"Then can you agree to marry me now?"

Zi Chenruo said shyly: "My father said that you can't agree to this kind of thing too easily, otherwise..."

"Okay, let's get busy this year first and then talk about next year."

"I, that's not what I meant..."

"I know, I know." Yu Ling saw that her ears were turning red. She didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or impatience. She quickly stopped teasing and said with a serious expression: "When my father-in-law comes back, I will propose marriage according to the procedure. There are still debts.

I’ll send you your token of love as well. Then I’ll ask how weddings are held in the Eastern Region, so I can learn from them so that I can have the grandest one..."

"Don't do that." Zi Chenruo said seriously: "We have to follow the procedures of the Eastern Territory. I don't think we can even think about this matter within three years."

"Well, okay, everything depends on my wife's arrangements."

"You...why have you become so glib now? Who did you learn from this?" Zichenruo rolled his eyes at him in shame.

"Of course it's Nian Xiaobai." Yu Ling's first reaction was to push the pot over.

"I knew... By the way, how are he and Junior Sister Liu doing now?" Zi Chenruo asked.

"If the Yuanling Clan hadn't stopped them, I think they could have gotten married at any time."

"Then there should be no one to stop you now, right?"

"This is natural. On the way to Dengyunxing, I split into several clones and dealt with the Yuanling clan elders from the Fire Refining Sect, Xuefeng, Jiuchen Sect and Xilian as quickly as possible. From now on, the Northern Territory and Zu

The stars are no longer under their control."

"That's good. I'll tell you that you won't be in a hurry no matter how long you stay here."

"Although there are many things, they can always be solved one by one. Before the Daoyu galaxy reacts, I will stabilize the northern border first, and then I can rectify the western border."

"Then Xu Shipu, how are you going to deal with it? Can you be on an equal footing with him now?" Zi Chenruo asked with concern.

"It's still a little bit worse, but there's someone who can."
