"If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened," Lan Juntian turned his back and said calmly.
"I just can't figure it out. I am a demon-slaying warrior of this generation, but why should I fight?" Lan Ke'er raised her head, looked directly at Lan Juntian, and asked.
"Ke'er, did someone tell you something?" Lan Juntian frowned slightly and asked.
"Why did you suddenly say these things?"
"Dad, I don't want to be a demon-slaying warrior anymore," Lan Ke'er said calmly.
"I will not interfere with your decision, but tomorrow's Demon-Slaying Conference will definitely be held as scheduled."
Lan Juntian said lightly.
"Seven ancestors have been born and invited all the world's influence. Do you want me, the Lan family, to become a laughing stock?
Or will the tens of thousands of years of persistence of my Lan family finally be wiped out?"
"What if this persistence will destroy my Lan family?" Lan Ke'er asked aloud.
"Ke'er, don't you understand? From the moment our Lan family chose to become a demon-slaying family, there is no longer any way out."
Lan Juntian shook his head and said: "There is no one in our Lan family who is greedy for life and afraid of death. From the moment we made the choice, we have been prepared to die."
"Is it really impossible?" Lan Keer was silent for a long time, and finally asked in pain.
"You have disappointed my father," Lan Juntian waved his hand and said nothing more.
Lan Keer slowly exited the room and gently closed the door.
She looked up at the bright stars in the sky and felt that fate seemed to have separated two straight but unrelated roads in front of her.
Eventually, her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness of the night.
……………
I was speechless all night, and the white fish belly on the horizon loomed in the east.
The first ray of light between heaven and earth shines in the direction of Sky Blue City.
That night, many people did not sleep peacefully, and roars could be heard from time to time.
The demonic energy mixed with the vast golden light is constantly rolling and undulating in the sky.
Even if they have not met, many people can still feel its power and danger.
When the sky lit up, the Lan family had prepared breakfast for everyone.
The war drums for suppressing demons were placed far away from each other to the east of Tianlan City, and spread into the distance.
The disciples in blue robes stood tall and proud in front of the war drum.
He stared at the distant sky.
The wind is so peaceful.
The elders and younger generations of various factions were having breakfast, while Xu Zimo came to the inner courtyard of Lan Mansion.
The place where I met Lan Keer yesterday.
The breeze is gentle, the trees are light and fluffy, and the people are haggard.
Lan Keer stood under the Demon Tree, her thin figure waiting there.
The hair on her head was a little messy, and her face turned slightly white. Different from her fair skin, it was a haggard and sickly white.
"Ke'er," Xu Zimo said slightly.
The voice pulled Lan Keer out of her dazed state.
Lan Keer looked at Xu Zimo and burst into tears instantly.
She threw herself into Xu Zimo's arms and cried bitterly: "I won't be a demon-slaying warrior anymore.
You don’t want to go either, the seven ancestors of our Lan family and several other ancestors of the Imperial Immortal Sect are all here.
You will die if you go."
Xu Zimo gently stroked the girl's hair and didn't answer, just smiled softly.
"Promise me?" Lan Ke'er raised her head, her eyes like a pool of clear water.
Said: "Just like the story you told me before, let's leave here and find a peaceful place to live in seclusion. We won't go anywhere."
Just live the rest of your life in an ordinary way, okay."
At this moment, Xu Zimo looked at the girl in his arms, and his memory seemed to be pulled back to the spring of that year.
Falling flowers fill the sky, and the small village of Zixun Village seems to be the same scene again under the setting sun.
"At that time, I thought I had a bright future in martial arts and wanted to take revenge. I didn't want to be tied down by anything."
Xu Zimo chuckled and said: "But this time, believe me, I will overcome all obstacles, for sure."
"But what if you die?" Lan Ke'er asked with tears in her eyes.
"What I'm afraid of is not death, I'm just afraid that this life will be unsatisfactory and not exciting enough.
Beyond the sky, there are still many things worth exploring about my life experience." Xu Zimo chuckled.
"Daddy is, and so are you," Lan Ke'er looked at Xu Zimo in front of her and said in despair.
"Dad said he was not afraid of death, and he thought about the outcome when he embarked on this road.
You said you are not afraid of death, the world is wonderful enough.
What should I do? Watch my father die with my own eyes? Or watch you die?
I just want an ordinary and warm life, is it so difficult?"
"I'm sorry," Xu Zimo looked at Lan Ke'er seriously and said, "But I have to go this way."
He owed four people in his life, his parents, his mother in the previous life fell into the devil's path, and his father grew old overnight.
Lin Ruhu, the good brother who blocked a fatal sword for himself.
Then there is the girl in front of me, who has been let down and hurt over and over again.
Xu Zimo has ignored life and killed countless people in his life. After all, he is still a human being, and he has seven emotions and six desires.
Without the seven emotions and six desires, what is a human being?
He, Xu Zimo, also feels pain!
……………
"Go ahead," Lan Ke'er slowly let go of Xu Zimo's waist, stood up and looked at the man in front of her, and said.
"You go, I'll watch you go."
"If you want to blame me, just blame me," Xu Zimo sighed softly.
Finally, he turned around and left without any hesitation, decisively and firmly.
His sword energy stretches tens of thousands of miles, and his sword intent reaches straight into the sky.
His purple robe dances with the wind, his black hair moves automatically without the wind, and his back is as firm as a stone.
He seemed to be gradually overlapping with his previous life.
But that day, the sunset ended like dusk, and now the scorching sun shines like a blazing sun.
The wind is so quiet today!
The wind today is really noisy!
……………
"Do you want to fight?" The figure of the God Emperor appeared beside him at some point and asked softly.
"war!"
The word "war" shot up into the sky, endless fighting spirit echoed, the wind roared and raged all around, and the sun hung like a fireball in the sky under the scorching sun.
The young man held his head high and walked forward proudly.
"I will destroy the Lan family, even if the emperor comes, it won't work. I, Xu Zimo, said this."
…………
The midday sun shines on the northern gate of Sky Blue City.
The city gate made of meteorite iron was scalding hot from the sun.
There are countless densely packed marks on the city gate, including palm prints and sword or knife prints.
Those are the traces left by the Lan family's struggle against the demons for tens of thousands of years. They are brilliant and glorious.
It is also a witness to everything that happened over tens of thousands of years.
As the heavy city gate was opened, Lan Juntian walked to the front wearing a dark blue robe.
The moment the city gate opened, the war drums that had been prepared on both sides beat instantly.
The sound of drums soared into the sky, shaking the entire sky.
With its supreme power, it makes people's blood boil.
