Zhang Ruochen and Gai Mie jumped and escaped in space, constantly crossing borders, and did not stop until they reached Wangming Baigu Ridge in the Santu River Basin.
The mountains in front of you look like an ancestral dragon lying across the north and south. The top of the mountain is connected to the sky above, giving even the gods a sense of suffocating oppression.
The mountains are deep and filled with gray mist, and it is unknown how many evil spirits and undead souls are hiding there.
No bones were seen, but it is said that this mountain was formed by the deposition of bones and has a history of hundreds of millions of years.
For some unknown reason, both Zhang Ruochen and Gai Mie felt a strong sense of danger and did not dare to move forward.
It stands to reason that there are not many monks who can keep them in the world today, and it is even more difficult to keep them both at the same time.
"After passing the Wangming White Bone Ridge, you will exit the Santu River Basin. Going further, you will reach the Netherworld Purgatory." Zhang Ruochen said.
The giant demon body that was destroyed quickly shrank and became the size of a normal human being. He said, "You seem to be afraid to move forward. Are you afraid of Wangming White Bone Ridge or Netherworld Purgatory?"
Zhang Ruochen is naturally afraid of Netherworld Purgatory.
When Divine Lord Nutian told Zhang Ruochen about the origins of Netherworld Purgatory and the seven-story tower, he mentioned that Yin Xuetian had told him before going to the Dark Abyss that he should never set foot in Netherworld Purgatory.
Quming Purgatory is definitely not a good place. Emperor Huang Quan must have a reason for fleeing here. The sense of crisis in his heart cannot appear out of thin air.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Gai Mie who was smiling,
Said: "Why should the Supreme Pillar hide the fear in your heart? If you dare to break through, how can you stop here?",
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that there's no need to take the risk.
Gai Mieh said again: "The Emperor Huangquan is unique among all the undead monks from ancient times to the present. If he had planned a burial bureau in advance based on the terrain of Wangming White Bone Ridge, and we had rushed in, wouldn't it be wrong?
Quite passive?"
"What's more, since Emperor Huangquan has contact with Seventy-two Lotus and Luo Jianluo, who can be sure?
Is there no other strong person hiding in Wangming White Bone Ridge? It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!
“As for Netherworld Purgatory, it’s even more bizarre.
When Tianlao returns, you should suggest her to lead the heavens in the hell world to clean up the place as soon as possible."
"Of course, the current hell realm may not have this spare capacity."
Zhang Ruochen showed a strange look and said:
"From what Zhi Shangzhu said, do you plan to return to the Ghost City of Impermanence?"
"What are you going back for? After the Corpse Ancestor was captured,
Emperor Huangquan is the only threat left in the Santu River Basin, and you no longer need me. If you and Feng Caiyi take a fancy to my cultivation, wouldn't you be seeking your own death if you go back? Who in the world doesn't know,
Feng Caiyi's cultivation speed is so fast, is it all because of you, the original chef who controls the earth cauldron?" Gai Mie said.
Zhang Ruochen laughed dumbly, thought for a while, and said:
"It makes quite a bit of sense."
"I have devoured hundreds of millions of monks from Moli City and the Zombie Clan. I need to find a place to refine and absorb them. My cultivation level may be restored to the peak of immortality in one fell swoop.
Then, Gai Mie whispered again: "With this move, how can Feng Caiyi tolerate me? If she tolerates me, she won't be able to answer to the gods of the corpse clan."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes rolled, and he had to say that Gai Mie seemed bold and unrestrained, but in fact he was very thoughtful. It was even possible that he had been eyeing Moli City from the very beginning.
Although the weird blood fountain in the Ghost City of Impermanence is good,
However, if you want to seize food from the hands of the gods in the hell world, it is undoubtedly to seize chestnuts from the fire.
Faced with the beauty that comes to your door, you can release your desires without any scruples. Faced with the blood fountain that restores your cultivation, you can also restrain your desires.
Such people can definitely live a long time and live well.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Zhi Shangzhu is going to the Dark Abyss next?"
"Is there any better choice than the Abyss of Darkness? I have to go to a place where there are people in need and reflect my own value. If I have value, I can live.
It just so happens that Kong Fannu needs me now."
Gai Mie smiled and said: "If the ancient creatures attack the hell world and a war breaks out, I can also use this to hunt for blood food and prepare for the complete recovery of cultivation."
Zhang Ruochen said:
"What happens after you fully recover your cultivation? Will the Supreme Pillar no longer have any worries and no longer need to rely on others?"
"Take a step and take a look!"
Gai Mie waved his hand and was about to leave.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Did the Supreme Pillar forget something?
"You, Zhang Ruochen, have countless treasures on your body, and you have several Jiudings. What does the Demon Ancestor Ziwu Yue mean? I will borrow it for a while to help Kongfannu and the hell realm, and also to help you indirectly. Don't worry, I don't like it.
If you owe someone a favor, you will be rewarded in the future."
Gai Mie's figure disappeared into the dark depths of the universe.
"Where's Heqing?" Zhang Ruochen shouted.
"Other people's Taoist companions, what do you ask me to do? I don't take away others' love."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head helplessly.
With his own strength, he wants to stay and destroy,
It's almost impossible.
If you forcefully take back Demon Ancestor Ziwuyue, a shocking battle will surely break out.
Zhang Ruochen was naturally not afraid of not having helpers during the confrontation in the hell realm, but he was afraid that in the end he would take back the yue, but would also force Gai Mi into the ranks of Baal, Bone Yama and other ancient demon gods.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
At least for now, Gai Mie has the mentality of a Supreme Pillar, he is independent, and he is unwilling to succumb to others.
It is indeed of great value to the God of Fury.
Zhang Ruochen was about to return to Wu Chang Ghost City, but suddenly he looked at Wangming Baigu Ridge again.
After thinking for a moment, he formed a sword with his fingers.
"Wow!"
A bright beam of sword energy flew out.
He quickly moved away.
Behind him: The sword energy flew into the Wangming White Bone Ridge and was swallowed up by the gray mist of death. It made a dull and loud noise and stopped moving.
Zhang Ruochen gathered his aura and quietly returned to the star field where the Impermanence Ghost City is located. The battle is over, and the World Tree is intact and has not been breached.
In the starry sky, there are ghosts and gods using Yin flags,
Dispel all the remaining destructive powers and rules.
If these divine powers and rules are not dispersed or collected, they will not dissipate on their own for ten thousand years. The entire star field will become a restricted area, and monks under the divine realm cannot approach.
There are also monks repairing the embankment of Santu River.
and the continental plates that were scattered after being broken up.
There are figures of undead cultivators everywhere, giving people the feeling that everything is in ruins and waiting for something to be done.
The dilapidated Ghost City of Impermanence is shrouded in the ancestral realm of the Thunder Clan. Purple dragon-like electric rays shuttle across the city, suppressing the strange blood spring within the realm.
Gong Nanfeng was the first to see Zhang Ruochen and ran over quickly: "Chen, where is Emperor Huangquan? Did you let him escape?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly.
Fengtian stood on a high hill outside the south gate of Wuchang Ghost City, and turned to look at Zhang Ruochen, who was walking towards this side from the Santu River. The aura of death after the war was still strong on her body, and the cold power formed was overwhelming.
The cultivators outside the city were completely silent.
Yang Yun Ghost Emperor, Moye God Lord, Yaoguang, Xuetu, Mu Lingxi and dozens of other powerful gods from the Temple of Destiny or the ghost clan stood on the left and right sides.
Hun Qi was kneeling on one knee on the ground, his ghost body was broken and seriously injured, as if he was begging for sin.
Gai Mie didn't come back?
Fengtian asked from a distance.
"He went to the dark abyss.
Zhang Ruochen strode up the high hill, and the eyes of the gods flickered between him and Fengtian. Finally, they all saluted silently.
Fengtian let out a cold snort and lightly opened his red lips:
"He is quite shrewd and knows that he will inevitably die if he comes back.
Since Gai Mie has not come back, there is no need to continue lighting up the World Tree, as it consumes too much divine stone."
"I will do it now."
Ghost Emperor Yang Yun glanced at Hun Qi and returned to Fengdu Ghost City first.
"Hun Qi, the situation in Fengdu Ghost City was critical at that time, so I can't blame you. You were seriously injured to prevent Luo Wen from self-destructing the divine source. Go back and recuperate!" Feng Tian said.
Hun Qiru was pardoned, but he knew that it was because he was a disciple of Emperor Fengdu and there was no way he could betray Fengdu Ghost City, so Fengtian, who was always ruthless, would let him go so easily.
If it were any other god who made such a mistake,
At least they will be soul-searched to find out.
The gods were sent out one after another by Fengtian, and they went about their own affairs.
On the high hill, only Fengtian, Mu Lingxi, and Zhang Ruochen were left. Even Xuetu and Gong Nanfeng had excuses to escape.
The World Tree is extinguished and its brilliance is greatly reduced.
The bright starry sky appeared above the Santu River again. The stars were all yellow-brown, and the yin energy was far stronger than the yang energy.
The cold wind blows from the Santu River, carrying the smell of corpses.
After an unknown amount of time, Fengtian, who was staring at the Ghost City of Impermanence, spoke first, but in a firm voice: "The Ghost City of Impermanence does not necessarily require you to defend it."
"Is it because of Xu Tian?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Feng Tian said: "Have you seen him?"
"Not yet."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "I guessed it! The layout of the Impermanence Ghost City is too weird. The defensive formations in the city are ordinary, but the void world is tightly laid out, the divine array is powerful, and it also contains Xu Tian's most proud sword array. It can be seen that Impermanence
The ghost town is nothing but a trap!"
"Furthermore, it is not easy for Xu Tian to find a place where he can heal his wounds and learn the sword in peace. Baal was born, the Puppet Emperor has no trace, and the remnant soul of Ming Ancestor may have returned. These three people are eyeing the Temple of Destiny.
It is destined that Xutian will not dare to return to the Temple of Destiny."
"Tianmu has not returned yet, so it is naturally impossible for Xutian to go to Luozu Yunshan Realm."
"The war in the Dark Abyss is about to break out. The camp of the God of Fury is not a good place to practice in peace."
"After thinking about it, the Impermanent Ghost City is safe with you, the gods of the ghost tribe, and the guardian of the World Tree." Seeing Zhang Ruochen's look of seeing things through, Fengtian said, "But what?"
Zhang Ruochen said with a smile: "Xu Tian is recuperating and is eager to learn the sword. He will never be distracted and take action unless he has to. Previously, in that situation, he was as stable as an old dog. Knowing that I came to the Ghost City of Impermanence, guess what?
Will he personally repair the defensive array of Impermanence Ghost City, or will he be the shopkeeper and leave it to me?"
Mu Lingxi said cautiously: "Senior Xutian's actions cannot be judged by common sense."
Her words seemed to be saying that Xu Tian had just stood aside and allowed Emperor Huang Quan to escape. In fact,
It was to remind Fengtian that Xutian had defrauded the "Book of Destiny" and instigated the relationship between her and Zhang Ruochen, and was the culprit.
In short: these two things make Xu Tian extremely unreliable, and all he has in mind is cultivation and breakthrough.
For cultivation, no one is more stable than Xu Tian,
Fengtian knows this better than Zhang Ruochen. The war between Heaven and Hell was so fierce back then. In order to practice Sword Twenty-Three and defeat Xumi, Xu Tian went into seclusion in Yuan Hui and never left the Great Tribulation Palace.
Fengtian thought about it again and again and remained silent.
Mu Lingxi knew that Fengtian must be having a fierce struggle in her heart, and hoped that she could temporarily let go of her pride, take a step back, and take the initiative to say that she would give up on Tian and leave.
In this way, Fengtian and Zhang Ruochen will definitely be able to shake hands and make peace.
However, such a simple sentence is extremely difficult for Fengtian.
How can the majestic God of Death, the Lord of Death, with a state of mind that has been solidified for millions of years, admit his mistake?
As Fengtian has always known, the biggest conflict between her and Zhang Ruochen is actually the death of Xumi.
Even though the Holy Monk Xumi at that time was bent on death and had little to do with Fengtian, who only had the peak level of great freedom and infinite cultivation at that time, both the God of Xiuchen and Fengtian thought that they were besieging Xumi for the sake of
To avenge Kong Fanning, the holy monk Xumi should die.
Of course Fengtian did not regret besieging the holy monk Xumi until the appearance of the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus.
As a god in the hell realm, even if there is no personal enmity, he will definitely participate in that battle.
She can face the world calmly.
However, it was difficult for her to face Zhang Ruochen calmly.
Rather than saying that it was Xu Tian or Qi Tian who caused the estrangement between her and Zhang Ruochen, making her unwilling to take the initiative to meet Zhang Ruochen, it would be better to say that she didn't know what kind of mentality she should have when meeting Zhang Ruochen.
A tough attitude is to build a wall inside yourself to prevent outsiders from seeing the truth inside the wall.
But once this wall is knocked down, he will undoubtedly expose his most embarrassing and weakest points to the other party. How could Fengtian be so stubborn and strong, how could he do this?
I don't know how long it took, Fengtian said: "Moli Corpse Ancestor was taken into the Scarlet Dye Tower by Bentian, but it will take at least a thousand years to completely refine him."
Mu Lingxi sighed secretly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Fengtian holds 50% of the mysteries of death and can be called the master of death. How long does it take to refine and kill him?"
"It is precisely because I have mastered 50% of the secrets of death, so it only takes a thousand years." A cold smile appeared on Fengtian's delicate jade face: "I have not forgotten that 10% of the secrets of death are
You gave it to me. Whatever you want, ask for it!"
Mu Lingxi's eyes lit up and she blinked hard at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I won't return the Tianding, so we don't owe each other anything.
Mu Lingxi regretted not leaving here just now. The two of them were completely at odds with each other, and no one mentioned it first.
They are all waiting for the other party to mention it first.
"Okay, very good. Zhang Ruochen, you calculated the accounts very clearly!"
Fengtian turned into a blood-red stream of light, passed through the boundary wall of the Thunder Clan's ancestral realm, and fell onto the top of the tall and towering city wall of the Impermanent Ghost City.
Her chest under her red robe was rising and falling violently, and her eyes couldn't tell whether they were cold, angry, or painful.
"Wow!"
The light on the wall of thunder and lightning flickered, and Zhang Ruochen fell behind her.
Fengtian's emotions instantly subsided, and without turning around, he said, "What are you doing here? I have decided to take charge of the Impermanent Ghost City myself, and I don't need Di Chen's help."
Zhang Ruochen said: "I want to know the information about the remnant soul of Mingzu?
"I don't know." Feng Tian said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "No, you must know something. Every time I mention the remnant soul of Mingzu, there will be a subtle change in your eyes."
"Even if God knew it, why would I tell you?"
Fengtian turned around, with a long and slender neck, looking sideways at the void outside the city as if he was arrogant.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I am more than 70% sure that the person who wants to take me away is the Ming Ancestor. Moreover, the Ming Ancestor is probably related to the Tianshu Needle!"
Fengtian's eyes became solemn and said: "How do you know?
"Ling Yanzi left some clues." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Tianshu Zhen Fengtian read out this sentence, and then said:
"Some things have happened so long ago that I'm just guessing. I'm not sure. Just listen!"
"I was born into the Zombie Clan, and my spiritual wisdom was born in the Santu River Basin. When I first entered the path of cultivation, I met a person. That person's attainments in the Path of Destiny are beyond my reach even today. I will
Practicing the way of destiny, the method of death, and worshiping in the Temple of Destiny have a great relationship with him. To be precise,
He taught me for a while.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Is he the Ming Ancestor who has returned with his remaining soul?"
"That's what I guessed today!"
Fengtian continued: "Because, after the Great Master stepped through the Temple of Destiny, the man disappeared. At that time, I didn't understand the connection between the two. As the cultivation level became more and more advanced, the ancient strong men returned one after another, and many truths were revealed
When the surface surfaced, I guessed that when the Great Master broke through the Temple of Destiny, he probably wasn't trying to seize the secret of destiny, but was looking for someone, looking for him."
"You said that Ling Yanzi left clues about Ming Ancestor, which further confirms Ben Tian's guess."
Fengtian's emotions instantly subsided, and without turning around, he said, "What are you doing here? I have decided to take charge of the Impermanent Ghost City myself, and I don't need Di Chen's help."
Zhang Ruochen said: "I want to know the information about the remnant soul of Ming Zu?"
"I don't know." Feng Tian said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "No, you must know something. Every time,
When I mention the remnant soul of Mingzu, there will be subtle changes in your eyes."
"Even if God knew it, why would I tell you?"
Fengtian turned around, with a long and slender neck, looking sideways at the void outside the city as if he was arrogant.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I am more than 70% sure that the person who wants to take me away is the Ming Ancestor. Moreover, the Ming Ancestor is probably related to the Tianshu Needle!"
Fengtian's eyes became solemn and he said: "How did you know?"
"Ling Yanzi left some clues." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Tian Shu Zhen Feng Tian read out this sentence, and then said: "Some things have been lost for a long time. I am just guessing. I am not sure. Just listen!"
"The zombie clan was born in this day, and the spiritual wisdom was born in the Santu River Basin.
When I first entered the path of cultivation, I met a person whose attainments in the Way of Destiny are beyond reach even today. I will practice the Way of Destiny and the Way of Death, worship in the Temple of Destiny, and have a relationship with him.
It has a great relationship. To be precise, he taught me for a while."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Is he the Ming Ancestor who has returned with a broken soul? "
"That's what I guessed today!"
Fengtian continued: "Because, after the Great Master stepped through the Temple of Destiny, the man disappeared. At that time, I didn't understand the connection between the two. As the cultivation level became more and more advanced, the ancient strong men returned one after another, and many truths were revealed
When the surface surfaced, I guessed that the Great Master might not have broken through the Temple of Destiny to seize the secret of destiny, but was looking for someone, looking for him.
"You said: Ling Yanzi left clues about Ming Zu, which further confirms Ben Tian's guess."
"I only know so much about the remnant soul of Mingzu. Do you have any other questions?"
Zhang Ruochen stared into her eyes and said, "What does that person look like?
What race is it?”
"That's unclear! Maybe it's because millions of years have passed, or maybe it's because the person himself doesn't want me to know what he looks like. His memory is extremely vague. By the way, when it comes to Tianshu Needle,
He did seem to be holding Tianshu at the beginning - but I can't be sure."
Fengtian said: "Didn't you ask Gong Nanfeng?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head gently.
Fengtian immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
Previously, Fengtian cherished words like gold and did not want to say a word to Zhang Ruochen anymore, but now she told everything she knew in detail, and Zhang Ruochen could feel the care in her heart.
My originally tough heart has softened a lot.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m in the Ghost City of Impermanence, or something happened.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly thought of Gai Mi, He Qing, and what Nangong Feng said at that time.
Feng Tian was thinking attentively, whether there was anything he missed in his memory.
But Zhang Ruochen suddenly appeared in front of him.
When she reacted, her red lips had been kissed by Zhang Ruochen, and her body was pushed back, leaning against the wall. Zhang Ruochen's hands, "I don't even know what you are doing? But, it's best not to have any
Next time." Fengtian turned around and left.
Zhang Ruochen finally came up with a reasonable reason for the conflict he just had, and said: "Gong Nanfeng told me that if the two of them keep arguing like this,
It’s easy to be taken advantage of.”
"What do you mean?" Feng Tian said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "You didn't enter the Ghost City of Impermanence to seek Xutian.
Ask him to repair the Ghost City of Impermanence?"
"Of course not." Feng Tian said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "But I'm worried that it is! Old Ghost Xu deliberately alienates you and me. The reason may not be for you."
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his face remained tense and expressionless.
"If this is the case, one person will die between me and him today."
Fengtian suddenly realized that what he said was too radical and had exposed his heart invisibly. He immediately found a reason to leave and said: "You can heal your wounds here. Shivara is here. I have to go see him."
Seeing Feng Tian fleeing away, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but smile. It turned out that she was not always so calm. She was able to renounce her relationship with Xu Tian so angrily, which made Zhang Ruochen even more interesting.
But after laughing, Zhang Ruochen fell into silence again.
Because of her, does it mean that he has so many emotional changes that he is heartbroken? However, there are too many differences and contradictions between him and Fengtian.
It's impossible to come together.
When you look at the front of your eyes, you can be unscrupulous, with three parts bitter and seven parts sweet. When you look at your heart, you know your happiness and anger, and are conflicted and uneasy.
