"How did this place become like this?"

After coming out of the Black Demon Mountains, Gu Yuan hurriedly pulled the somewhat reluctant Xiao Xueyan to look for Gu Shang's trace, hoping to use the power of the middle-aged man to help Gu Shang.

But the scene before him made him go dark.

Xunhuan Tower disappeared.

As one of the classic buildings in the Beast Taming City, Xunhuan Tower has disappeared without a trace. Its original location is now a ruin with only a bottomless black hole. At the edge of the hole, you can see some icicles that still exude a chill, with traces of blood wrapped around them.

"It's Feng Jun's aura! He seems... injured!"

Uncle Xuan felt the remaining breath in the space and said with some surprise.

The girl's starry eyes narrowed slightly, "Mr. Feng? He's here too!"

Gu Yuan slowly walked towards the black hole, looking at the bottomless hole, feeling a little blocked in his heart.

I had accidentally entered Xunhuan Tower and met Gu Shang for the first time. Later, I was almost stabbed to death by her.

Later, she bought her own elixir, which allowed her to complete her first mission and thus possess her current spiritual vein.

When he was captured by that mysterious man, it was Gu Shang who appeared and rescued him.

At that time, she was the Spirit Emperor, and he was just a fledgling who had just started practicing.

Although some unpleasant things happened between him and Gu Shang, Gu Yuan always regarded her as a friend, and Gu Yuan believed that Gu Shang did the same.

Gu Yuan clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and murmured, "I'm sorry."

"Gu Yuan, although I don't want to discourage you, I still want to tell you that her aura has disappeared."

Xiao Xueyan said from the side, and the meaning of her words was very clear: Gu Shang is dead.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Yes, a sense of powerlessness.

He practiced hard and cultivated to the level of Spirit Emperor. What if he could protect the people he wanted to protect when facing a stronger Spirit Lord?

"If you want to protect your friends, you must work hard to become stronger. If the Spirit Emperor doesn't work, then there's the Spirit Lord. If that doesn't work, there's also the Spirit Holy Emperor!"

At some point, Uncle Xuan had come to Gu Yuan's side.

"Senior, it is said that there are as many Spirit Kings as dogs in the Central Region where you are, and Spirit Emperors are everywhere. Is this true?" Gu Yuan asked.

Uncle Xuan wasn't the least bit surprised that Gu Yuan had guessed his origins. He smiled and said, "I guess so, but it's not that exaggerated."

"Senior, can I trouble you for something?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Fill this black hole. Gu Shang is my friend, and this is where she has lived for many years. I don't want this place to become like this." Gu Yuan said.

"good!"

Uncle Xuan nodded and waved his hands several times, and the dark hole was filled up. The place was restored to its original state, except that the Xunhuan Tower was missing.

"Thank you very much, Senior. You have come from afar and don't have anywhere good to go. Why don't we let Gu Yuan be the host and welcome you back?"

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Gu Yuan smiled.

Uncle Xuan looked at his young lady, and only agreed to Gu Yuan's proposal after the girl nodded.

He arranged the girl and Uncle Xuan into the restaurant where he usually stayed, and they sat at a table downstairs, staring at each other.

Gu Yuan coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and looked at the girl and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then said, "Pond Fish."

"Yu'er? I wonder what her relationship with Lie Yu'er is." Gu Yuan muttered.

"Hmm? Any questions?"

"No, no problem." Gu Yuan shook his head.

The atmosphere became awkward again. Chi Yuer lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Xueyan held her chin and looked at Gu Yuan intently.

Gu Yuanze looked at Uncle Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Senior, I'm actually still very curious. What was your purpose on that rainy night? I don't believe it was just a coincidence."

There were no outsiders present, but Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Uncle Xuan looked at Chi Yu'er beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "That day was definitely not a coincidence. We were just here to do some business and just came to see you."

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, "You knew me before?"

"I don't know him." Uncle Xuan shook his head.

"Then why are you..."

"Okay. If you want to know, come to me tonight and I will tell you everything you want to know." Chi Yuer suddenly said.

Uncle Xuan was shocked, "Miss!"

"Uncle Xuan! He has the right to know."

Chi Yuer seemed a little tired. "You guys eat first. I'll go back and rest."

"I'll go see the young lady." Uncle Xuan also stood up and followed Chi Yuer.

Only Gu Yuan and Xiao Xueyan were left at the table. The golden-haired vulture didn't know if it was afraid of Xiao Xueyan, but had already run away.

"Hehe, it's just the two of us!" Xiao Xueyan said with a smile.

"Little girl." Gu Yuan called softly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"What's your relationship with Chi Yu'er? Why does she want you to go with her?"

Gu Yuan was very scared, afraid that this friend would be like Gu Shang and he would never see him again.

Xiao Xueyan stopped picking up food and forced a smile. She said, "Don't worry. Actually, I didn't know who she was at first, but after I successfully advanced, some new things came to my mind. That's how I realized we knew each other when we were very young. So she won't hurt me."

"Have you known each other since childhood?" Gu Yuan was a little surprised. Didn't they say that she had always lived in the Black Demon Mountains?

"Well, actually I don't know either. It told me." Xiao Xueyan pointed to her little head.
