"You can answer either one first."
Looking at the woman's expression, Nangong Ziyan felt a little guilty. Had she gone a bit too far?
"Answering your question is like reopening old wounds. Go away! Knowing who I am won't do you any good. Time will tell."
After the woman finished speaking, she waved her hand and "Ah...!" Nangong Ziyan flew upwards like a feather.
"Bang!" Nangong Ziyan suddenly appeared in front of Beiming Haotian as if she had burst out of the ground.
"Yan'er, where did you go? I was so worried about you."
Before Bei Ming Haotian could think any further, he pulled Nangong Ziyan into his arms. The familiar feeling, the familiar scent, the joy of finding her again filled him with indescribable excitement. The fear and trepidation he had just experienced made him feel as if he had fallen into boundless darkness.
"Haotian, I'm sorry to have worried you! Yan'er is fine."
Nangong Ziyan gently comforted Beiming Haotian. Feeling his trembling body, she knew how scared he had been.
"Yan'er, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters!"
Bei Ming Haotian murmured softly in a low voice.
"By the way, Yan'er, what happened? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Bei Ming Haotian suspected that if this situation happened a few more times, he would really go crazy.
"Haotian, it's those strange things again. It seems like someone arranged everything, and Yan'er happens to be that destined person. It's a place called the Spirit Realm, where the people and magical beasts are all souls. The strangest thing is that their eyeballs are white."
Nangong Ziyan looked up at Beiming Haotian, her eyes darting around, looking incredibly cute.
"I once heard my master mention the Spirit Realm. It is a place where souls who do not want to be reincarnated and are attached to the mortal world are. Their eyes are white because they only turn black when they see their beloved. It is not much different from the Soul Realm, except that the two realms do not interfere with each other. Souls are not allowed to cross the boundary, or they will be punished."
Bei Ming Haotian explained Nangong Ziyan's doubts.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Father didn't show up."
Nangong Ziyan lowered her eyes and murmured softly.
"Yan'er, what are you whispering about?"
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan looked up in surprise. "Haotian, it's nothing. Anyway, this fall wasn't in vain. We gained quite a bit. I'll tell you more tonight!"
Nangong Ziyan smiled and said, "Let's get going!"
"Hmm!" Bei Ming Haotian nodded, not pressing for further questions. He knew she would tell him everything, but he held her soft hand tightly in his large hand, not wanting to let go, lest she disappear again for no reason...
The merger of the Northern Underworld Continent and the Netherworld Continent spread rapidly throughout the world like lightning, creating tension between the continents. However, the death of Bei Ming Yaowei did not have a significant impact on the relationships between the continents.
On the way to the South China Sea Glazed Tile Palace, deep in the gloomy mountains, there is a road that runs across the mountain range and leads directly to the palace. Along the road, the mountains rise and fall, appearing and disappearing, like a winding dragon.
On the road, two groups of maroon-colored top-class horses pulled a magnificent carriage about two meters long, speeding along the road, with the carriage driver constantly shouting.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in black, in the guise of a guard, leaped onto the carriage. Judging from his agile and nimble movements, his cultivation level was definitely not low. He was Yi Lin, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion in the Western Sea Continent.
"Yi Lin greets the City Lord."
"What is it?"
From inside the carriage came a solemn and dignified voice, so serious that no one dared to offend him. It was Ximen Qingtian, the city lord of the Western Sea Continent.
Ximen Qingtian was dressed in a luxurious silver-white robe. He had a square face, sword-like eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and slightly thin lips, giving him a very serious appearance, almost like he was cast in iron.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the Young Master has sent word that the Princess was killed by the Demon Lord of the Netherworld Continent, and the Demon-Suppressing Pot was not obtained. The Young Master is now heading to the South Sea Glazed Palace."
Yi Lin answered respectfully from outside, his voice completely flat.
"Demon Lord? He failed to obtain the Demon-Suppressing Pot. This useless thing can't even handle such a small matter, and he even caused his sister's death. He's truly useless. Send a message to the young master. He must find the whereabouts of the Demon-Suppressing Pot as soon as possible, and use the princess's death to incite chivalrous people from all over the land to punish Bei Ming Haotian."
The cold voice was devoid of any emotion; his daughter's death seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Yi Lin's face outside, but he still respectfully replied, turned around, and flew away.
Wuguzi's spatial ring exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. Apart from medicinal herbs and a few magnificent houses, there was nothing else inside.
Inside a silvery-white cave resembling a stone cave, besides a thousand-year-old ice bed, there was a three-meter-wide silver pool filled with silvery-white water. Wuguzi, with his white hair, was lying flat in the silver pool.
Suddenly, Wuguzi opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. A look of pain flashed across his face. Surprisingly, his snow-white hair turned black again in an instant.
"You, Bei Ming Haotian, your old wound from a hundred years ago had almost healed, but you whipped it and it flared up again. If I don't teach you a lesson, how will you know the suffering I've endured over the past hundred years?"
With a gloomy face, Wu Gu Zi suddenly flew onto the Thousand-Year Ice Bed, lay down on it, and began to use his spiritual energy to heal his injuries. Before long, his entire body was covered with a thin layer of ice, but Wu Gu Zi did not feel cold at all and remained lying there quietly.
