It was a coincidence that as soon as Hua Ziling arrived at Yunjian Beilu, the Donglin people started to invade Beilu, and the armies of both sides fought fiercely at the border.
Hua Ziling was already a monk in the Nascent Soul stage and had the ability to protect herself. She was not in a hurry to avoid the battle and found out about Shen Lang in time.
Shen Lang suddenly became a well-known figure in the Hokuriku and made outstanding military exploits on the border battlefield. However, it was later said that he was hunted down by the Donglin people and disappeared.
Hua Ziling was not shocked because of this, but because she learned that Shen Lang had found Su Ruoxue. Shen Lang and Su Ruoxue had been staying in the Tianquan Sect in Beilu for several years and were deeply in love.
This man finally found the woman. If he goes to find her again, wouldn't he become a clown?
Hua Ziling thought so, and felt unspeakable pain in her heart.
There was no point in looking for Shen Lang anymore, so she returned to the land of Beiliang in despair and continued to practice.
Hua Ziling always wanted to forget Shen Lang. Shen Lang's life and death had nothing to do with her. But whether she could forget it, only she knew.
Unexpectedly, several years later, Shen Lang would appear in front of her again.
Although there was joy in Hua Ziling's heart, it was more of a complex emotion, even mixed with some resentment and anger.
Seeing that Hua Ziling seemed a little annoyed, Shen Lang also realized that it might have been the incident when he left Beiliang without saying goodbye that made Hua Ziling unhappy.
Shen Lang hurriedly said: "Hua Ziling, I didn't intentionally abandon you at the beginning. It was because I got into some invisible trouble in Leihai and didn't want to implicate others, so I left the land of Beiliang alone."
In fact, Shen Lang didn't tell lies. When he came to Beiliang, he killed Gong Sunyang, the supreme leader of Wanyue Mountain, and offended the leader of Wanyue Mountain, Shui Jingzhenren. Later, he used the Wind and Thunder Demon King to borrow a knife to kill people and destroyed him.
Shui Jingzhen, who is chasing him.
In addition to killing people with borrowed knives, Shen Lang also defrauded Fenglei Demon King of a large amount of Yuyang Thunder Crystals. He didn't know if Fenglei Demon King would see through his plan, and he was considered an invisible threat.
Hua Ziling took a deep breath, her pretty face returned to calm, and she curled her lips and said: "Okay, okay, I can guess how you want to explain. This is not the place to talk. Come into the valley with me."
After saying that, Hua Ziling turned into a stream of light, flew into the Valley of Forgetfulness below, and temporarily withdrew the illusion formation.
Shen Lang immediately flew down and followed closely behind Hua Ziling.
After entering the illusion formation, Shen Lang could clearly see the whole picture of the Valley of Forgetfulness. The valley was quite large and had all kinds of buildings, which was almost equivalent to a large sect of cultivating immortals.
Hua Ziling has a beautiful appearance, but she almost never shows her true face to others and stays veiled.
"Valley Master, what was that attack just now?"
As soon as they entered the illusion formation, more than a dozen monks in the Danjie stage flew into the air with frightened expressions on their faces and asked Hua Ziling.
The high-level monks at the alchemy stage were asking, while looking at Shen Lang in fear, with frightened expressions.
Shen Lang's Nascent Soul stage breath made everyone breathless.
"Don't panic, this person is my friend, just go and do whatever you have to do."
Hua Ziling left these words and flew towards the valley with Shen Lang.
Shen Lang couldn't help but complain in his heart. It seemed that Hua Ziling was still a bit greedy for power. After not seeing him for decades, he became the king of the mountain again.
Arriving at the entrance of a courtyard in the Forgotten Valley, the two female monks guarding the door immediately bowed to Hua Ziling and saluted: "I have met the Valley Master!"
Hua Ziling nodded slightly and led Shen Lang directly into the courtyard.
This courtyard is Hua Ziling's place of peace and quiet. It has white jade fences, ponds and streams, and is surrounded by some precious ornamental flowers and plants, as well as low potted plants. The taste is quite elegant.
The courtyard is not big, but the layout is extremely exquisite. The main buildings are even made of jade. When you walk into the courtyard, the aroma of incense comes to your nostrils, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, such as orchid and musk.
Shen Lang followed Hua Ziling all the way to an attic in the courtyard. The interior of the attic was gorgeously decorated, and a faint fragrance floated in the hall, highlighting Hua Ziling's taste.
Hua Ziling calmly brewed a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to Shen Lang, and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I will take a bath and change clothes first, and I will come later."
Shen Lang nodded slightly. He also knew Hua Ziling's habit, so he simply sat on the jade chair and waited patiently.
After half an hour, Hua Ziling finally pushed open the crystal curtain at the back of the hall and walked over slowly.
As expected, this woman went to take a bath and changed into a more gorgeous red gauze dress. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, a necklace on her neck, and a little pink and white. She was absolutely beautiful.
Coupled with that cold and aloof temperament, it is not an exaggeration to describe her as beautiful as a fairy.
After years of hard work and climbing, Shen Lang had long lost any sense of beauty, but when he saw Hua Ziling, his eyes still showed a hint of surprise, but he soon returned to normal.
Before Shen Lang could speak, Hua Ziling asked: "Shen Lang, why is Su Ruoxue not with you? Haven't you been with her before?"
Mentioning Su Ruoxue, Shen Lang's face suddenly darkened, and his whole body twitched slightly. Hua Ziling's words seemed to have touched Shen Lang's most fragile nerve.
"She...hasn't come back yet."
Shen Lang wanted to deal with it casually, but he couldn't hide it from Hua Ziling's eyes. She frowned and asked: "Shen, tell me the truth, don't you even protect your own woman? She is out of business."
What happened?"
Hua Ziling's questions were like torture, Shen Lang's whole figure was like a deflated ball, and he slowly began to explain everything.
From Su Ruoxue's soul being shattered to when she came to Beiliang in search of materials for the resurrection technique, she told them all.
It would be fine if it was someone else, but Hua Ziling was an exception. She was not just someone to confide in. Shen Lang knew that Su Ruoxue was a little sensitive to Hua Ziling, but there were still some things that it was necessary for this woman to know.
After listening, Hua Ziling frowned and asked: "Resurrection? Does that kind of magic really exist?"
"I am 100% sure that the resurrection technique does exist, and I already have some clues." Shen Lang said seriously.
Hua Ziling's emotions are a bit complicated. Even if it really exists, one can imagine the materials needed for such a heaven-defying spell.
"Huh, Shen, don't expect me to sympathize with you. You deserve it for not protecting the woman you love! But... I admit that you are still somewhat responsible." Hua Ziling snorted softly.
Although she said this, Hua Ziling still felt a trace of jealousy in her heart. She was still jealous of that Su Ruoxue.
Shen Lang loved that woman so much that he would pay any price to find a way to resurrect her.
Hua Ziling sighed secretly, maybe this man was so affectionate and righteous that she fell in love with him.
