At this moment, not only Qingmiao'er, but also Yunzhi and Ergou were confused.
"Brother, what did you say?"
Yun Zhi looked at Li Tian's absent-minded look and felt something was wrong, as if he knew some terrible secret.
At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the door, like the sound of two energies colliding together, which also attracted everyone's attention to look over there.
The next moment, an embarrassed figure flew directly in from outside the outer wall. The clothes were in tatters and covered with dust. He looked like he had just returned from mining. However, what did not match the appearance was the still upright posture and the
He still had an unparalleled aura, and although his clothes were damaged, there really wasn't a single scratch on his body.
It’s Hou Qingbai!
Then, Hong Luo's figure also appeared in everyone's field of vision. Unlike Hou Qingbai, although Hong Luo's clothes were slightly damaged, they were not stained with any dust. She was surrounded by red thoughts, like a female war goddess.
"It is indeed the ultimate body, as hard as a bastard!"
In front of Hong Luo and Hou Qingbai, her eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.
When would a person in the Transcendent Realm be so helpless when faced with someone in the Mountain Moving Realm?
Hou Qingbai had no time to pay attention to her words at this time, but looked to Qing Miao'er's side.
"Qing Bai?"
Qingmiaoer was stunned, what is going on?
Of course she knew Hong Luo. She was one of the few powerful people in the Transcendent Realm in Lingyun City, and she was also the vice-principal of Lingtian College. But why did she get into a fight with Hou Qingbai?
Hou Qingbai looked at Li Tian sitting under the tree and Yun Zhi beside him, and frowned slightly.
"Miao'er, are you okay? What did they say to you?"
Facing Hou Qingbai's inquiry, Qing Miao'er just shook her head slightly.
"They didn't say anything to me, they just asked you, please? Why did you fight with Senior Hongluo?"
Hearing this, Hou Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would be too late, causing Li Tian and others to say something they shouldn't have said.
It seems that the other party may not know the real secret of the bodhi tree, otherwise he would have told Qingmiao'er long ago.
He did not immediately answer Qing Miao'er's question, but turned his attention to Hong Luo in front of him.
He bent down and clasped his fists.
"Senior Hongluo, I have offended many people just now. Please take them away now. In the future, Hou Qingbai will definitely remember your kindness today."
Hong Luo frowned slightly and looked at Li Tian, not knowing how to make a decision.
It seems that Li Tian and the others have been talking to Qing Miao'er for a long time, but there has been no result.
Although it was difficult to force the opponent into such a situation, and this was their last chance to complete the mission, she was not sure that she could save everyone when she faced Hou Qingbai again.
Just as she was hesitating, Li Tiancai, who was silent beside him, slowly stood up.
Everyone looked at his movements and remained silent. Hong Luo, who was about to speak, also held back what she wanted to say, while Hou Qingbai frowned slightly and looked at Li Tian, who was acting strangely.
What is he going to do? No one knows.
But everyone knew in their hearts that Li Tiancai was the person at the core of this mission.
Li Tian walked slowly and came to Qing Miao'er's side. At the same time, Qing Miao'er looked at him in confusion.
Qing Miao'er had long seen that something was wrong, and she knew in her heart that Lingtian Academy was targeting Hou Qingbai for some reason.
"The legend is true."
Li Tian said expressionlessly, while his eyes did not move away from Qing Miao'er.
Qingmiaoer also knew that the other party was telling her.
This also made her even more puzzled.
She looked at the strange Li Tian in confusion.
"What did you say?"
Li Tian took a deep breath, his eyes firm.
"The legend you just told me is true. The Dragon Emperor gained immortality with the help of the Bodhi tree. However, what it sacrificed was not the luck of the ethnic group, but the entire ethnic group!"
"What!"
Qing Miao'er was shocked and confused. He didn't understand why Li Tian was so sure, and he didn't understand why Li Tian would say such things to her at such a time.
Only Hou Qingbai knew Li Tian's intention and had quietly condensed the sword intention in his hand.
At the same time, Li Tian also looked at Hou Qingbai in front, his eyes full of anger.
"The bodhi tree will bear fruit, but it only needs the blood sacrifice of the people of the same clan. Am I right? Hou Qingbai!"
Hou Qingbai's eyes were even more murderous. At this moment, he wanted to cut Li Tian into pieces first.
But faster than him was Hong Luo. She had already seen Hou Qingbai's intention and took the lead to stop him.
"Senior Hongluo, I will pay any price as long as you take them away now."
Hou Qingbai suppressed his murderous intention and said to Hong Luo in front of him.
But Hongluo refused to give in. She had her responsibilities, and she couldn't really choose to back down just because of Hou Qingbai's words.
"What are you talking about, Xiaotian? What does this have to do with Qing Bai?"
Things have gone beyond Qing Miao'er's imagination, and she urgently needs an answer.
Li Tian no longer hesitated, but at this moment, his eyes showed sadness again.
"A few days ago, in this manor, the Bodhi tree bloomed. As you said before, the sky was filled with blood lotus flowers. At the same time, the Bodhi tree also bore a fruit, which was a heart-beating fruit.
The fruit contains enough vitality to bring people back to life."
Qingmiaoer was stunned. She found everything Li Tian said incredible.
The Bodhi tree is in bloom? That requires a lot of vitality!
"Shut up! He is talking nonsense, Miao'er, don't believe him!"
Hou Qingbai could no longer let Li Tian talk, so he took out his sword and became furious, trying to kill Li Tian from the air.
But Hongluo kept staring at his movements, how could she let him take advantage of her?
"Master Hou, stop struggling. If you really haven't done anything, are you afraid that he will continue talking?"
Hong Luo looked at the angry Hou Qingbai in front of her, her eyes full of indifference.
Qing Miaoer also felt that something was wrong. Although she knew that Hou Qingbai had been hiding something from her, she never expected that it would be related to the Bodhi tree!
"Xiaotian, keep talking!"
She needs the truth too!
"Aren't you sick? Do you know how you got better?"
Li Tian's eyes were sharp and he stared at the angry Hou Qingbai.
"It was he, your good husband, who sacrificed the lives of his fellow tribesmen! Let the Bodhi tree bear fruit and forcibly prolong your life!"
At this moment, Qing Miao'er suddenly felt that the sky was falling. She looked at Li Tian in confusion, and then looked at her husband.
"These are all his one-sided words and nonsense! Who would believe what he said? Miao'er, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Hou Qingbai argued.
Since he couldn't stop Li Tian from speaking, he could only deny it. At this time, he also felt powerless. This was the second time since he started practicing that he felt so powerless. The first time was when Qingmiao'er was seriously ill and he couldn't cure it.
when.
"Am I talking nonsense? Okay, principal, please do me a favor and uproot this tree!"
Li Tiancai doesn't care whether he admits it or not, as long as Qing Miaoer believes it!
Hongluo grinned and agreed.
"Okay, I'm the best at this!"
As she spoke, she waved her red sleeves, and her red mind power was like a mist, directly surrounding the bodhi tree.
The next moment, the ground shook slightly, and then the Bodhi tree was directly uprooted by a huge force. It was far more than that. Each thick tree root was wrapped around a white bone, densely packed with countless white bones.
One hundred? Two hundred? Far more than that!
Even though Li Tian and others were prepared, they were still shocked speechless by the scene in front of them, and even their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
"this..."
Qing Miao'er was suffocated, she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her.
On the contrary, it was Hong Luo who reacted first. Even though she was experienced, she had rarely seen such a scene.
"Hou Qingbai! You really deserve to die!"
Hong Luo was furious and punched Hou Qingbai in front of her, knocking him back.
"How many people are there..."
Yun Zhi's lips turned white and he clenched his fists. Among the dense white bones, he saw several familiar figures who had not yet been drained of life.
"They are just ordinary people. Each of them should live well. Why? Your wife is a human being, but they are not human beings! How can you do this! A person like you, even if you die a thousand times, will die once.
Ten thousand times is not enough!"
Li Tian found that there were many more bones under the tree than he had imagined. They were all ordinary people, and one could imagine how desperate they were when facing General Manager Hou Qingbai.
Hou Qingbai's face was livid. He knew that no amount of excuses would be of any use at this time. Qing Miaoer would not believe him at all.
Qing Miao'er looked at the mountain of corpses in front of her, speechless for a long time, but two lines of tears of blood flowed from her eyes.
She couldn't accept what she saw, couldn't accept that so many people died for her, couldn't accept that her husband had killed so many people.
However, the result had already appeared before her eyes, and she had to accept it.
"Why..."
"Why..."
"Someone tell me why..."
"Why are so many people dead..."
Qing Miao'er was so distraught that a mouthful of blood spit out from her mouth, dyeing her green gauze red.
"Miao'er!"
Hou Qingbai's eyes were blood red. In anger, he actually took the initiative to attack Hong Luo who was blocking him. With one sword, he destroyed the red telepathy that was blocking him. At this moment, he was unstoppable!
"Go away!"
Hou Qingbai swung his sword several times in succession, hitting Hong Luo back again and again. The last sword directly cut Hong Luo's right hand, forcing her to step aside.
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Hongluo retreated and did the next best thing and came to Yun Zhi Litian.
"madman!"
Hou Qingbai's desperate counterattack left Hongluo helpless.
At this time, Hou Qingbai could not care about Li Tian and the others. Only Qingmiao'er was left in his eyes.
He came to Qingmiao'er's side, his eyes full of heartache and pain.
"Miao'er..."
Qing Miao'er didn't seem to see him and was still looking ahead blankly.
"Twenty years ago, I saved tens of millions of people! This is what Lingyun City owes me! This is what they owe me! Why do you just refuse to let me go! I just want to live a normal life with my wife
It's just life, that's all..."
Hou Qingbai roared, with an almost obsessive madness in his eyes. He had been suffering for many years, but in the end, he was still unable to change.
Yes, he is not wrong. He just wants to grow old with his wife. What is wrong is this sick world and the unfair fate.
His wife was seriously ill, and as a husband, he had no choice but to take this step.
Qing Miao'er slowly turned her head to look at Hou Qingbai in front of her, her eyes full of sadness, and her hands soaked in blood wanted to touch the tired husband in front of her.
"Qing Bai, thank you for everything you have done for me. It's just that the price is too high and I can't bear it. I should have died long ago. I am content to see you again."
"Look at them... they are all the people we once wanted to protect..."
"Some of them have wives and some have children. They should live well..."
"I hate it. I hate that I didn't die cleanly. There were more dead souls because of me. If I had died two years ago, they wouldn't have to die..."
"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for them..."
Hou Qingbai panicked. Looking at his wife who was talking in front of him, he was at a loss for a moment.
"No, I don't blame you, it's all my fault. It's all my fault, Miao'er. It's not your fault. You are not at fault..."
Qing Miao'er shook her head and stopped Hou Qingbai from continuing.
She turned her gaze to Li Tian who was aside.
"Xiaotian, thank you for telling me the truth, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to bear this sin."
"Everything started because of me. Let's end it here today. Qing Bai was just confused for a moment. I hope Lingyun City can reduce his crime in view of his past achievements."
Hou Qingbai was heartbroken and tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"No, Miao'er doesn't want it. It's all my fault. I'm going to surrender. Lingyun City wants to kill or behead you. I beg you, please don't do anything stupid."
He hurriedly grabbed Qing Miao'er's hand. He knew his wife too well, which was why he had never dared to tell her the truth. He was afraid of losing Qing Miao'er again. He no longer wanted to bear that kind of pain again.
Second-rate.
Qing Miaoer looked at Hou Qingbai distressedly. He had paid too much for himself.
"I have not been your wife in this life. I will be your wife in the next life."
"Today, life is more uncomfortable for me than death. I also need to give them an explanation..."
As she spoke, she looked at the bones in front of her again, her eyes filled with sorrow and pain.
When she saw the sea of corpses under the bodhi tree, she had lost hope of living. She couldn't bear this sin.
"I'm leaving...don't blame them...live well..."
Qing Miao'er raised her hand to touch her husband's face again, trying hard to take one last look at him.
"No, Miao'er!"
Hou Qingbai just watched his wife slowly lose her life in front of his eyes.
"ah!!!"
"Why, why!"
"Obviously we can grow old together."
"Obviously we can be a couple of gods and immortals."
"Why!"
"I've obviously worked very hard..."
"Why did you still leave me..."
Hou Qingbai burst into tears at this moment and hugged his wife tightly.
Facing the pain of losing his wife, even the most powerful man in the Moving Mountain Realm is crying like a child.
Qing Miao'er, who had lost her life, fell helplessly into Hou Qingbai's arms, as peacefully as she had once snuggled in his arms.
Qing Miaoer could obviously choose to stand by her husband, but she didn't. She finally recovered. She could obviously choose to continue living, but she didn't. Even when facing death, she didn't hesitate at all.
