Hei Ya City was an absolutely dangerous place for Yun Che. He had been keeping a low profile, disguising himself, and being very careful while in the city.
But now, he didn't care whether the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce would discover his whereabouts or not. He desperately rushed up all the mysterious energy in his body, and exerted the Phantom Lightning to the extreme. It was like a stream of light piercing through the sky above Heiya City, and wherever it went, it brought about an ear-splitting scream.
Before he sent He Lin back to the Muling Secret Land, he carefully checked whether there was any tracking mark on him.
But... why is there such a thing as Wanli Zhuihun Incense!
It must be fake... How could such a thing exist! Absolutely not!
The city of Heiya was rapidly retreating under him, and he gritted his teeth all the way, almost shattering it.
He stayed in the Wood Spirit Secret Land for an hour and a half, and another three or four hours had passed since he left. If everything was true, then such a long time had passed...
Don't be true!
Yun Che rushed out of Heiya City like thunder, several times faster than when he sent He Lin away before, and then ran southeast, straight into the dense forest, without even a moment's pause during the entire process.
After entering the dense forest, Yun Che's speed did not slow down at all. It was as if a huge hurricane suddenly blew up in the dense forest, and the grass and trees flew everywhere. Every thousand-year-old tree was broken to the ground.
Following his still completely clear memory, Yun Che finally saw the rows of ancient trees near the entrance to the Wood Spirit Secret Land. He fell rapidly, and his pupils shrank sharply.
Before his eyes, the ancient trees that supported the Wood Spirit Magic Array had all been broken into pieces, and the dark green vines seemed to have been ravaged by strong winds and huge waves, with each root broken into pieces and scattered all over the ground in chaos.
The world ahead was quiet, so quiet that it was eerie.
Yun Che’s heart suddenly stopped beating. His eyes were wide open and his whole body was cold. He stood there blankly for a long time. His legs were stiff as he slowly moved forward. The sound of the broken vines under his feet was like a saw that kept cutting into his soul.
Yun Che stopped walking after stepping over the broken vines on the ground. His body was shaking and his face suddenly turned pale, as if all the blood in his body had drained out in an instant.
The originally green and neat flowers and plants were now in a mess, the old trees had all fallen down, and the wooden house had turned into a mess. Everywhere, apart from the traces of the chaotic fight, there was only pale green blood and dead silence.
One after another, the wood spirits lay quietly on the dilapidated land stained with wood spirit blood, without a sound or movement. The wood spirit closest to Yun Che's feet opened his eyes as wide as possible, but there was no emerald green light in them, only fear, despair... and resentment that did not dissipate until death.
“Ah…ah…”
Yun Che’s lips were trembling, and his pupils were rapidly dilating, almost covering all the whites of his eyes. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move anymore. Even his vision was blurry and the world was spinning around him.
After a long time, he raised his hands and grabbed his head, his five fingers trembling like an old man at the end of his life.
Dead...
All dead...
It’s me…
It was me who killed them...it was me...
“Ah… huh…”
After taking more than a dozen heavy breaths, his mind and eyes finally regained clarity.
He walked forward slowly, his vision still a little blurry, but every corpse of the wood spirit, every drop of green blood, was reflected in his heart and soul with great clarity... and then turned into extremely cold blades, piercing every corner of his soul.
Occasionally, one can see the scarlet blood of human beings, which seems particularly glaring and dirty in this devastated world.
call……
After taking another deep breath, Yun Che's expression finally calmed down, and his eyes became calm. He walked forward slowly, stepping carefully on this destroyed little world.
BANG!!
At this moment, a broken old tree suddenly fell down, revealing the lifeless body of a wood spirit behind it... She was old and thin, and her wrinkled face was eternally calm.
“Grandma Qingye…” Yun Che whispered, raised his head, and slowly closed his eyes. She was the one He Lin respected the most, and the wood spirit with the highest seniority and prestige in this small world. Just a few hours ago, he had accepted the Wood Spirit Divine Dew that she had personally presented to him.
“I’m sorry, I brought disaster to you.” Yun Che said softly, “Please rest in peace.”
Faced with the tragedy that had already happened, all he could do was this pale apology.
Although his heart had calmed down, his chest was still filled with an extremely oppressive and uncomfortable feeling. Yun Che flew up, releasing his spiritual sense, trying, or hoping, to find a surviving wood spirit... even just one.
In front of the collapsed wooden house, he saw a sturdy middle-aged wood spirit. Even though he had no breath left, he was holding a broken spear tightly in his hand. His body and spear were stained with a mixture of green and scarlet blood.
There was a big bloody hole on his back... In order to fight to the death, he did not destroy the Wood Spirit Pearl in advance. There was no doubt that the Wood Spirit Pearl was forcibly taken away after his death.
"Aoki-senpai."
Yun Che's lips moved slightly, and his hands clenched tightly while shaking.
Around him, there were many corpses of adult wood spirits, each of which was covered with traces of bloody battles. Their eyes were all wide open, filled with fear, despair, and resentment... none of them closed their eyes.
Yun Che flew silently. At the back of the small world, he saw young wood spirits one after another. Some of them were hugging each other, while others were sleeping in the arms of their elders… and the youngest one, his tender body, was pierced with a pitch-black long sword.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to calm his breathing. Yun Che turned his gaze away with difficulty… He saw the large flower garden, the place where he had stayed the longest before.
All the flowers have fallen, and not a single butterfly is flying.
At the end of the flower garden, two girls hugged each other tightly. There were no scars on their bodies, but there was no breath of life either.
He destroyed his own spirit pearl and died.
Yun Che landed and stared at them blankly: “Fei Yan… Qing He…”
Outside the flower garden, a young wood spirit boy fell silently. The scars all over his body showed how fierce and cruel the battle he had gone through to protect the two girls behind him was.
"Qing... Bamboo..."
The suffocating feeling that had apparently eased suddenly pressed down on his heart and soul again, and it was incredibly strong...stronger than ever before.
"...I really hope that one day I can really go out and see the world..."
"I always thought that humans were scary, but I never expected that there would be a human as powerful and lovable as Brother Yun Che."
"This is a talisman I made myself. It will keep you safe..."
"Brother Yun Che...will you come back often...to visit us..."
“…”
Green bamboo…flying geese…green lotus…
He grasped his head with one hand and covered his heart with the other, then slowly squatted down. His heart felt as if it were pierced by thousands of poisonous needles and his whole body was shaking in agony.
Just a few hours ago, they were looking at him with such pure, eager and expectant eyes, listening to his words very seriously, afraid to miss even a word. He could clearly feel the deep desire stirring in their souls.
Fate was too cruel to them. What their peers took for granted was an unattainable luxury for them. They had just reached their most beautiful years, but already...
"Yes... yes... I harmed... you..."
“Yes…I…”
My heart was twitching, my teeth were chattering, and the five fingers that were grasping my head had pierced into my flesh while I was trembling, but I didn't feel any pain.
This was the second time in his life that he had this feeling.
The first time was when he was in Cangyun Continent. He lost his master and Ling'er. There was no one in the world that he cared about, and no one cared about him. In his hatred and madness, he used the Sky Poison Pearl to poison and kill all the living beings in the entire city...
After the twisted pleasure, the endless repression and guilt made him so painful that he almost collapsed and went crazy...
That time, he killed millions of lives... most of them were innocent and had no grudges against him.
This time, he did not kill the one hundred wood spirits with his own hands... but the pain that filled his soul was almost as intense as it was back then.
Why did this happen...
What on earth did these innocent wood spirits do wrong!
Is it just because I'm too kind and too weak! ?
No...it's because of me...If it weren't for me, the disaster...how could they have encountered such a disaster!
It's all because of me!!
If I hadn't been so determined to find the Wood Spirit Pearl, if I hadn't brought He Lin back out of my self-righteousness, I wouldn't have...
…………
Wait...He Lin! ?
As if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, Yun Che raised his head suddenly, and then stood up abruptly...Where is He Lin? There was no He Lin among these wood spirit corpses. Where did He Lin go?
Yun Che flew up and quickly released his spiritual sense, covering the entire Wood Spirit Secret Land, sweeping over every inch of land, every plant, and every corpse of a Wood Spirit.
But he didn't notice He Lin's existence.
His brain quickly woke up, and his spiritual sense immediately spread out to the greatest extent... Without He Lin's body, he might still be alive... No, he must be alive.
Those people knew that He Lin was a royal wood spirit, so they would definitely want to catch him alive. And He Lin was extremely concerned about his identity as a royal wood spirit, so even if he was in a desperate situation, he would never be willing to die... Yes! He must still be alive!
The most likely possibility is that he was captured alive.
The blood on the ground had not dried yet, so they must not have gone too far.
Yun Che flew higher into the sky, closed his eyes, and tried his best to concentrate his mind... He must find it, he must find it!!
In the east direction, a trace of trampling extending into the distance appeared in his spiritual perception. He opened his eyes, and the mysterious energy in his body exploded instantly, rushing towards the east like lightning.
