Chapter 67 Huangquan City: The Truth 2
He reached out and gently rubbed Xiaobai's head.
"Junior sister is right."
He looked at the road ahead, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.
"Since it is God's will, giving me this opportunity to practice together as a human and a demon, that is my path."
"In that case, let's practice dual cultivation."
Even if there are many obstacles ahead, I have no regrets as long as I can walk with my brothers and sisters in the sect.
Xiaobai puffed out his chest with an expression that said "you've made a fortune".
Nangong Wentian looked at her serious expression, and the haze in his heart seemed to be dispelled a lot by these childish but firm words.
Yes, no matter what the road ahead holds, he is no longer alone.
He has a master, a senior brother, and this little junior sister who seems young and ignorant but always brings surprises and warmth.
The corners of his lips slightly raised, and the heaviness in his eyes melted away, showing a little more relief.
"Okay, Third Brother, remember this, this is an opportunity."
He rubbed Xiaobai's head with a gentle tone.
We have arrived at Huangquan City.
Different from the desolation on the road, this huge city standing on the underworld exudes a sense of solemnity and order.
The towering black stone walls are like silent beasts. Ghost soldiers stand in front of the city gate, wearing grim armor and scanning the passing souls with empty eyes.
However, when the group of four of them approached, the ghost general in the lead suddenly glanced and quickly came forward.
"But you are a distinguished guest from the Qingling Sect?"
The ghost general's voice was hoarse, but it was filled with obvious respect.
Li Xiaoran stepped forward and said, "That's right. We are here to visit City Lord Yin Tianzi as ordered."
"The city lord has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."
The ghost general stepped aside to make way, and his attitude was so humble that even Yan Jinjin was a little shocked.
It seems that Junior Sister's face is also very useful in the underworld.
Passing through the heavy city gate, the scene inside the city is even more unexpected.
It is not as eerie and scary as imagined. Instead, the streets are wide and there are all kinds of shops on both sides. However, the things sold there have a strong smell of the underworld.
Many souls or ghost cultivators were moving around in the streets, giving the illusion of... a bustling city on earth?
At this moment, the little book in Xiaobai's mind suddenly vibrated slightly.
A faint but clear sense of connection of consciousness came, as if a being that had been sleeping for a long time was slowly waking up.
"Xiao Shu?" Xiao Bai called quietly in his heart.
Xiaoshu did not respond, but the vibration became more obvious for a moment and then returned to silence.
The ghost general led them to a magnificent black palace.
"The city lord has ordered that the fairy be allowed to see him alone."
The ghost general fixed his gaze on Xiaobai, his tone still respectful.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoran and the other two paused slightly.
Yan Jinjin subconsciously wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Xiaoran's eyes.
A hint of worry also flashed across Nangong Wentian’s eyes.
Li Xiaoran just touched Xiaobai's head gently.
"Go ahead, Xiaobai, we'll be waiting for you here."
His tone was calm, with complete trust.
Xiaobai looked up at the gentle and encouraging eyes of his second senior brother, then looked at the slightly worried eyes of his third and fourth senior brothers.
She nodded vigorously, her little face full of seriousness.
"Well, Xiaobai is not afraid."
She took short steps and followed the ghost general into the deep palace.
Inside the palace, the light was dim, but it was dotted with countless faint blue soul fires. It did not appear gloomy, but instead had a strange tranquility.
On the high seat at the end of the hall, did not sit the majestic and terrifying ruler of the underworld as imagined.
Instead, it was a young man who looked somewhat easy-going?
He was wearing a black brocade robe, had a handsome face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as deep as an ancient pool.
When he saw Xiaobai coming in, he actually jumped down from the high seat, walked a few steps to Xiaobai, squatted down, and looked at her with a smile.
"Hey, Xiaobai, my good friend, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
His tone was familiar, as if they had known each other for thousands of years.
Xiaobai blinked his big eyes, a little confused.
This guy and Brother Jinggan talk in a similar tone! They are both very familiar with each other!
"Are you the Lord of Yintianzi City?" She tilted her head and asked curiously.
"It's me, it's me." Yin Tianzi smiled even more happily, "You can call me Ah Yin, or you can call me Tian Yao, that's what you used to call me."
Xiaobai was even more confused. Did she know him before?
Yin Tianzi looked at her confused little face, his smile faded slightly, with a little more tenderness and melancholy.
"Don't be nervous, little one," he said in a soft voice with a hint of soothing power.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, you saved the world by saving the world, and finally returned to heaven."
"We're all sad, but it's your choice."
“But now,” his eyes became serious and firm, “live your life again. All of us old guys just hope that you can live for yourself once.”
"Be happy, worry-free, and do what you want."
Xiaobai listened as if he understood, but not really. Something seemed to be touched deep in his heart, and a trace of inexplicable sadness and warmth intertwined.
She looked at the city lord in front of her who called himself "Ayin" and didn't feel disgusted with him.
Seeing that she had relaxed a little, Yin Tianzi continued speaking, but his tone was a little heavier.
"There are some things you must know."
"After the great war that nearly destroyed everything, the Heavenly Dao actually no longer exists."
Xiaobai's eyes suddenly widened.
The way of heaven is gone?
"Then, who is in charge of the thunder and rain, and the monks' tribulation?" she couldn't help but ask.
Yin Tianzi smiled bitterly: "Now in each small world, it is just the evolution of the laws of heaven, or the later-born 'Guardians of Heaven' who maintain order."
"But they are not the true way of heaven."
“Moreover, even the power of the laws of heaven and earth was inexplicably weakened a lot because of that war and the collapse of the heavens.”
He looked at Xiaobai with sharp eyes.
"The one who wants you dead is the guardian of the heavenly way of this immortal world you are in now."
Xiaobai's heart tightened.
"Why?"
"Because the way of heaven is flawed and the laws are incomplete, the gate to the upper realm has long been closed." Yin Tianzi explained.
"It is impossible to ascend to the upper realm."
"Those rumors of occasional ascensions you've heard are all false. They are lies made up by certain beings to reassure people."
This news, like a thunderclap, exploded in Xiaobai's little head.
Can't ascend? Then the master, the brothers, and herself...
Yin Tianzi seemed to see through her thoughts and continued to reveal more shocking inside information.
"And the secret to opening the gate to heaven and allowing all small worlds to regain hope of ascending lies in you, Xiaobai."
He pointed at Xiaobai.
"You are the variable, the key to breaking the shackles."
“So, that Heavenly Dao guardian would try every possible means to get rid of you before you fully awaken.
Or in other words, you want to rely on your tremendous luck and power to control the three realms yourself."
Xiaobai subconsciously touched his chest and felt the little book there tremble slightly again.
"Then me, my little book."
"Your heavenly book is definitely not accidental." Yin Tianzi's eyes flashed with understanding, "It is a guide, a key, and a protection."
