"Why did you stop talking? Keep going!" Hu Ruo was listening intently when Bai Yaoguang suddenly shut up.

Bai Qingnian, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a puzzled expression. They had already gone this far, so why did they stop?

Bai Yaoguang gave a bitter smile, looked up at the moon that was gradually turning blood red, and then continued, "Later, I took Long Ling away and brought him to the human world. I sealed him away. He hated me, he hated me so much that he wished I were dead."

“If it were me, I would hate you too. After all, it was your mother who ordered the entire demon realm to exterminate the dragon clan. How could he not hate you?” Hu Ruo couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"So what is that golden pillar of light?" Bai Qingnian's focus was on this; he had a feeling that it was related to the Great Black Dragon.

Bai Yaoguang looked at him for a while, then nodded: "It's just as you think."

"I know that. I heard that the Dragon Clan wanted their young master to become a god, namely Long Qianling."

They extracted the divine power from their own bodies and injected it into Long Qianling's body. Later, she really became a god, but the price was the loss of all her people. And that golden pillar is the God-Sealing Pillar," Hu Ruo also agreed.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingnian stiffened. The price was indeed too high, and he wondered how sad the Great Black Dragon must be.

"After the Dragon Clan was destroyed, Long Qianling went mad. She almost destroyed the entire Demon Realm by herself... But later, for some unknown reason, she was sealed away." Hu Ruo sighed, his face full of incomprehension.

Logically speaking, having become a god, she should have ascended directly to the upper realm, but Long Qianling did not. Perhaps it was because her obsession was too heavy and she could not let go of the past that she did not immediately ascend to the upper realm.

Whether she didn't ascend or was sealed away, she was simply trapping herself.

No matter how strong you are, if you can't escape your own inner self, all your struggles are in vain.

Bai Qingnian lowered his eyes, his hand unconsciously touching his lower abdomen. Bai Yaoguang and Hu Ruo couldn't see his expression, but at this moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The Great Black Dragon...

For a moment, the three of them fell silent, and only the sounds of the burning fire and the chirping of insects could be heard.

After a long time, the red moon hung high in the sky, and Bai Yaoguang told her story for three whole days. The Blood Moon Night finally arrived.

"The moon is out," Hu Ruo said.

“We should get going,” Bai Yaoguang stood up and spoke gently to Bai Qingnian.

Bai Qingnian gave a muffled "hmm" and then stood up.

Hu Ruo just watched their departing figures quietly until they were no longer visible before turning his gaze away.

The two walked one after the other without speaking first. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Yaoguang, who was in front, finally stopped.

Bai Qingnian quickly stopped and looked up, only to see a red light barrier blocking their path.

This is the barrier that trapped the great black dragon.

Bai Yaoguang reached out and touched the barrier. A red halo gradually expanded from where she touched it until it disappeared.

"I'll try to see if I can split a crack," Bai Yaoguang said, glancing back at Bai Qingnian.

Bai Qingnian nodded, then took a step back.

Bai Yaoguang formed hand seals and chanted incantations before gathering spiritual power in her palms and forcefully waving them towards the barrier. A ripple appeared on the barrier, but quickly disappeared.

She closed her eyes, gathered her strength once more, and tried to break the barrier in one fell swoop, but to no avail.

"Is that not allowed?" Bai Qingnian couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yaoguang shook her head: "This barrier is too complex and too powerful. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break it by myself alone."

"But there are only the two of us here, what should we do now?" Bai Qingnian was getting anxious. Ever since he heard Hu Ruo mention Long Qianling, he had a bad feeling, as if Hu Ruo was trying to tell him something.

He was afraid that something had really happened to the big black dragon, perhaps its previous injuries hadn't healed and had gotten worse...

"Are you also going to the depths of the abyss of evil?"

Just then, a male voice rang out, and Bai Qingnian and Bai Yaoguang both looked toward the source of the voice.

A group of men in black stood there, led by a woman with a cold expression, and standing next to her was a very handsome young man, the one who had just spoken.

"Who are you?" Bai Yaoguang stepped forward and shielded Bai Qingnian behind her.

He is still my younger brother, after all, and I should protect him when necessary.

The woman leading the "Dongling Wolf Clan" gave them a cold look and replied.

"So you are from the wolf clan of Dongling. May I ask who you are...?" Bai Yaoguang revealed a polite smile.

"Li Yanyue"

"I am Bai Yaoguang from Qingqiu, and this is my younger brother, Bai Qingnian." Bai Yaoguang still had a smile on her face.

They outnumber us and have the upper hand, so it's best not to make enemies with them.

"From Qingqiu, sister, it seems they're going in too." The young man next to Li Yanyue looked Bai Qingnian and her companion up and down, then tugged at the sleeve of the woman beside him.

"I saw it, stop messing around," Li Yanyue said helplessly, reaching out to pat his head with a doting voice.

Her usually aloof expression was now adorned with a faint smile.

Li Po pursed her lips, let go of Bai Yaoguang's hand, and walked up to the two of them.

"You didn't go into the depths of the Abyss of Evil just for the Seven Aperture Exquisite Fruit, did you?"

Bai Yaoguang shook her head upon hearing this, "No, it's just that my younger brother lost something very important, and we're going in just to retrieve it."

"Your brother?" Li Po's gaze fell on Bai Qingnian behind her.

A gust of wind blew by, and Li Po absorbed Bai Qingnian's aura into his body, making him feel relaxed.

He stared in surprise, then leaped over Bai Yaoguang and walked to Bai Qingnian's side.

Just by getting close, his heart, which had been aching for years, suddenly stopped hurting.

"Po'er, what's wrong?" Li Yanyue noticed her younger brother's unusual behavior and came over.

"Sister, when I get close to him, my heart doesn't hurt anymore!" Li Po pointed at Bai Qingnian, her face showing excitement.

He likes this fox!

Upon hearing this, Li Yanyue's gaze fell on Bai Qingnian. Being stared at by a pair of cold eyes, Bai Qingnian took a step back in fear.

Bai Yaoguang immediately stepped in front of him, her smile vanishing as she said in a deep voice, "You scared my brother!"

Bai Qingnian never expected that she would protect him. Looking at her tall figure, he was slightly touched. So this is what it feels like to be protected by an older sister.

"Sister, don't stare at him like that, you'll scare him!" Li Po pouted and patted Li Yanyue's arm.

Li Yanyue turned her gaze away from Bai Qingnian and looked at her younger brother.

"Is what you just said true?"
