Bang!
Another giant profound beast was killed by Yun Che and Zhou Qingchen. Qianye Ying'er stepped forward, flicked her finger, and skillfully took out the profound pill whose aura had not yet dissipated, and put it away directly.
"Ms. Qianying's technique is very beautiful. It seems that you two come here often." Zhou Qingchen praised. This was the umpteenth time he had praised Qianye Ying'er... although he had never received any response from her.
“She did a good job in obtaining the Xuandan.” Yun Che seemed to be praising him, but Qianye Ying’er snorted coldly.
“Come to think of it, Brother Chen did not take any resources when he first came here, and he did not have any desire in his eyes.” Yun Che smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Qingchen and said, “Just talking about these ancient beasts, their fur is also priceless, but they are not worth Brother Chen’s attention at all. It seems that Brother Chen must be of a very noble origin.”
Zhou Qingchen smiled. He did not deny it. He could not help but glance at Qianye Ying'er. Looking at her back, he said, "Brother Ling and I are of the same mind and get along very well. I really don't want to lie. In terms of my origin, I can indeed be called 'noble'. However, no matter how noble one's origin is, the body is also made up of blood, bones, skin and flesh, and the soul is also filled with the same seven emotions and six desires. In essence, what is the difference?"
"On the contrary, I am a little envious of Brother Ling."
“Are you jealous of me?” Yun Che glanced sideways.
Zhou Qingchen smiled and didn't answer, but his eyes were slightly vague.
“Could it be that Brother Chen is envious of me for having a woman like this by my side?” Yun Che suddenly asked, with a half-smile on his face.
Zhou Qingchen's expression suddenly froze.
“I have always been curious about why a person like Brother Chen, who has such a high level of cultivation and whose every word and action is noble and extraordinary, would take the initiative to travel with us.” Yun Che said with a smile: “Later, I noticed that Brother Chen’s eyes would always fall on Qianying intentionally or unintentionally. Every time he encountered a Primordial Mysterious Beast, Brother Chen would immediately block her location to prevent her from encountering any possible danger.”
“Moreover…” Feeling Zhou Qingchen’s slightly awkward aura, Yun Che secretly remained cold and continued, “Brother Chen’s praise for her is a bit too much.”
Zhou Qingchen avoided his gaze, then smiled and shook his head: "Brother Ling is really meticulous, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
“So, Brother Chen is really interested in her?” Yun Che showed surprise on his face and glanced at Qianye Ying’er, who was far away and didn’t seem to hear what they were saying.
Zhou Qingchen shook his head, then suddenly looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "Brother Ling, what do you think... is the most difficult thing in this world?"
Yun Che did not answer, and said casually: “Different people have different answers to this question. I would like to hear Brother Chen’s answer first.”
Zhou Qingchen closed his eyes, and his voice became long and lingering: "My background is quite special. When I was very young, I was told that I had a completely different identity from others, but at the same time I would also bear a 'mission'. The most important thing in my life is the 'right path', and the last thing I should have is 'desire'."
Yun Che: “…”
"That's why I've always been a person with very low desires. I only treat everything peacefully and have little interest in any form of fighting."
"Later, I reached the age of marriage. My father and clansmen found many candidates for me, but... perhaps because of my spiritual cultivation, I have never had any feelings for women. Even if I occasionally like them, I will forget them as soon as I look at them. I thought it would always be like this, until one day, I met a person..."
"Brother Ling," Zhou Qingchen asked, "Do you believe... that there is someone in this world who you will remember for the rest of your life with just one glance?"
“I don’t believe it.” Yun Che answered without any hesitation.
That year, he fell into the Phoenix Valley, and before he passed out, he caught a glimpse of Feng Xue'er... In the forbidden land of samsara, when the divine light dissipated, his heart was broken and his soul was torn apart...
There were some once, and they will be engraved in my heart for the rest of my life. But they are gone... and there will never be any again, never again.
"I didn't believe it before, but that person..." Zhou Qingchen's voice trembled slightly, and his facial features tightened unconsciously: "I just glanced at her from a distance, but it was like I suddenly fell into a nightmare that I could never wake up from."
“Really?” Yun Che asked, seemingly disagreeing.
"Brother Ling, I know these words sound a little ridiculous." Zhou Qingchen said, "But... if one day you get a glimpse of her true face, you will understand what this 'nightmare' is. Even if... she doesn't have a trace of smile on her face, and her eyes are only cold and even mocking, she will still imprison you in the 'nightmare' forever, and no one can escape."
“I see…” Yun Che stretched out his hand and touched his chin: “So, for Brother Chen, the most difficult thing in the world is to let go of this person?”
"Yes." Zhou Qingchen said: "I have tried countless methods, but I can't get rid of it no matter what. Even if she becomes..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Yun Che smiled and said, “To be able to make a person like Brother Chen behave like this, I am really curious about what kind of trouble that woman has caused.”
"On the contrary, I hope Brother Ling will never see her. Meeting someone you like is a blessing, but meeting her... is a disaster." Zhou Qingchen exhaled, and then said softly: "In this world, no one has ever been worthy of her, even if it's just a look of warmth from her."
“Not necessarily. Some women only seem arrogant, but in reality…” Yun Che put his hands behind his head, smiling, but he didn’t say the rest.
Zhou Qingchen smiled and shook his head, looking at Qianye Ying'er from afar: "Miss Qianying has many similarities with her, so I can't help but want to watch her for a while longer. It can also be regarded as a kind of..."
He laughed at himself: "It's just a pitiful sustenance."
“I see.” Yun Che said, “However, I have been negligent in disciplining her, and she doesn’t know the etiquette when she is outside. Please don’t blame me, Brother Chen.”
"It's okay." Zhou Qingchen said, "You should keep your distance and be wary of someone you don't know but actively approaches you. And... even in this respect, they are a little similar."
In the distance, Qianye Ying'er looked ahead, her spiritual sense silently searching for the breath of Zhou Tian's guardian. Zhou Qingchen's voice was clearly heard by her, but she did not react to it, not even a cold snort.
In the distance, Qu Hui had been following them from a distance. He felt that Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er had no intentions towards Zhou Qingchen, but instead kept their distance and were wary, which made him completely relieved... After all, it was Zhou Qingchen who took the initiative to go with them.
He also listened to Zhou Qingchen's words and said to himself, "The enchantress of Brahma Monarch is really causing a lot of harm to people. I hope she is really dead."
Zhou Qingchen came back to his senses, and seemed not to want to continue talking about this matter. He changed the subject and asked, "Brother Ling, what is the most difficult thing in the world for you?"
Yun Che closed his eyes and said, “Probably to distinguish between good and evil.”
"Oh?" Zhou Qingchen looked puzzled: "Why is Brother Ling so obsessed with this?"
“What is good and evil to Brother Chen?” Yun Che asked back.
Zhou Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "There are many kinds of kindness. Rain and dew, kindness and benevolence are all kindness. There are countless small kindnesses in the world, but great kindness is rare."
“What do you mean by great kindness in Brother Chen’s eyes?” Yun Che asked casually.
"I have a person I respect," Zhou Qingchen said with some emotion, "In order to protect the peace of the world, he would not allow anyone to go against his principles, break his promises, or tarnish his reputation. He even asked the other party to take his life to appease his anger. This is the greatest kindness I have ever witnessed in my life. Perhaps no one in this world can do what he does."
“What about evil?” Yun Che asked.
"There are thousands and thousands of evils." Zhou Qingchen said: "My father once taught me that there is no pure evil in the world. Many evils can be nipped in the bud, and many evils can be reformed and redeemed. However, if we talk about the evil that cannot exist in the world, it must be the demons of the Northern Territory."
Yun Che really didn’t find Zhou Qingchen’s words strange at all. He turned his head and said, “So, to Brother Chen, demons represent evil that cannot be tolerated by the world?”
"Of course." Zhou Qingchen said: "Demons are heretics with distorted human nature, and dark power is a negative force that should not exist. If the existence of dark power can be wiped out forever in the world, there will be no more demons and monsters, who knows how much less darkness and disasters there will be."
He glanced at Yun Che and said, “Brother Ling, don’t you think so?”
His words clearly meant... Isn't this the most basic knowledge and common sense? Why do you have such doubts?
Yun Che smiled and said, “I suddenly thought of an interesting question. You say… a demon who saved the world, is he considered an evil person or a good person?”
"Hahahaha," Zhou Qingchen laughed, "It's indeed an interesting question..."
But just as he said this, his laughter suddenly stopped, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated... He thought of a person, and then said in a very light voice: "A demon. It is impossible for him to have the good intention of saving the world. But if a savior falls into the devil, then he cannot be tolerated by the world. Because he will be more terrifying than an ordinary demon. When he is doing good, he can save the world, but when he is a demon, he may bring disaster to the world."
“I see.” Yun Che nodded, as if agreeing with him, and said with a smile: “It seems that as long as he becomes a demon, no matter what he has done in the past, he will be a heretic who cannot survive in this world. Brother Chen’s views are in line with my own.”
“Speaking of which,” Yun Che continued, “I heard that in the past two years, the Eastern Divine Region has been doing its utmost to hunt down a demon named ‘Yun Che’. He was once the proud son of heaven in your Eastern Divine Region, and even I have heard of his reputation in the Southern Divine Region. But no matter how proud he is, he is ultimately just a rising junior. And in order to hunt him down, I heard that all the major king realms in the Eastern Divine Region have gone all out. Why is this?”
Zhou Qingchen’s face tensed slightly. He didn’t want to answer this question, and he didn’t even want to recall Yun Che.
And at this moment, Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er's eyebrows twitched violently at the same time.
An extremely high-level yet extremely weak aura was rapidly approaching. Judging from the aura and the strangeness of its flight... the other party seemed to be seriously injured.
In the distance, the expression of the Venerable Quhui suddenly changed… There was only a breath, and it was extremely weak, and it also carried a very strong smell of blood. A chill instantly swept through his body. He had no time to hide. In an instant, he fully activated his profound strength and rushed up at the fastest speed.
Qu Hui suddenly appeared and flew away at full speed with a terrifying look on his face. At this moment, Zhou Qingchen also suddenly sensed the arrival of that aura. His face also changed suddenly. He whispered "Uncle Tai Yin" and then, without caring about anything else, he suddenly flew up and followed Qu Hui.
“Hey…Brother Chen, where are you going?” Yun Che shouted, and his aura instantly exchanged with Qianye Ying’er’s. Then he stood up and flew up naturally, following behind at a not very fast speed.
Venerable Tai Yin was covered in blood, with most of his flesh and bones exposed, as if he had been cut into pieces and then immersed in a pool of blood from hell. His entire right arm had completely disappeared from his body... But, he was the Guardian of Eternal Heaven after all. Even though he was in such a miserable state, all the Primordial Mysterious Beasts that wanted to get close to him were killed by him.
He held the Huanxu Ding tightly in his hand to prevent any accidents. Finally, he dragged his broken body to where Quhui and Zhou Qingchen were.
Seeing the blood-red figure from afar, Qu Hui froze there. If it weren’t for the unique aura of a guardian, he would never have believed that it was Tai Yin... the sixth-ranked guardian of the Eternal Heaven God Realm!
“Tai Yin…” Qu Hui finally came back to life until he was close to her. He then asked in a deep voice, “What happened? Where is the Venerable Zhu Liu?”
Venerable Tai Yin took a deep breath, then quickly swallowed a few drops of spiritual liquid. He was panting heavily and had no time to speak.
"Uncle Tae-eun!!"
Zhou Qingchen's panicked voice came from afar, and then his figure rushed over. When he saw Tai Yin's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. Like Qu Hui, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.
Tai Yin suppressed his injuries silently, and it took a while before he opened his eyes... In his sight, he saw two figures falling from afar, looking at this side with puzzled expressions.
"Don't worry, they are not enemies." Qu Hui clenched his hands and asked again: "What happened? Master Zhuliu... Could it be that..."
Two level 4 gods, even if they were mortal enemies, could not pose the slightest threat. Venerable Tai Yin let out a long breath and said slowly: "Zhuliu...died."
"Wha...what!?" Qu Hui and Zhou Qingchen both shook violently.
They knew very well what the death of a guardian meant to the Eternal Heaven God Realm, the Eastern God Territory, and even the entire God Realm.
"However," Tai Yin adjusted his breath and said hurriedly, "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission... We have obtained the gift for the prince. We will go back immediately... Let's go!"
Succeed... Succeeded the Primordial Divine Fruit!
This was undoubtedly a great comfort to the tragic news of Zhuliu's death. Quhui nodded quickly: "Okay!"
Without wasting a moment, he waved his hand and a small profound boat about ten feet long appeared. He grabbed Zhou Qingchen and said, "Let's go! We can talk about other things when we get back."
The expressions of Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er changed slightly at the same time.
Zhou Tian took the Primordial Divine Fruit from the Primordial Dragon Clan. This was undoubtedly the result they wanted to see, and it was also the reason why Yun Che designed to get close to Zhou Qingchen.
But the development after they succeeded was completely different from what they expected.
Originally, if the two guardians could obtain the Primordial Divine Fruit, when they returned successfully, their great curiosity would surely make Qu Hui and Zhou Qingchen want to immediately see the true appearance of the divine fruit and bathe in its unique scent. It is even possible that they would directly hand the divine fruit to Zhou Qingchen.
And with two great guardians at its side, who could possibly take it away in the process?
This was Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er's best and only chance... They were already close enough, and there was no way the two Eternal Sky Guardians would be wary of just two Level 4 Divine Sovereigns.
However, with the death of one of his guardians and severe injuries to himself, Venerable Tai Yin's sense of crisis had clearly reached its limit. Not only did he want to leave the Taichu Divine Realm immediately, but he also had no intention of taking out the divine fruit.
Because the Primordial Divine Fruit was the safest on him, even though he was severely injured, his cultivation was far superior to Zhou Qingchen and Qu Hui, not to mention that he also had the Huanxu Ding in his hand.
"I understand." Zhou Qingchen also nodded solemnly and said, "Let me say goodbye to my two new friends first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around, raised his hand, and quickly said, "Brother Ling, Miss Qianying, I have something urgent to do and need to leave immediately. If you two go to the Eastern Divine Region in the future, we may meet again."
His gaze lingered on Qianye Ying'er for a full moment before he finally turned around and prepared to leave.
Yun Che nodded and took light steps forward... but his hand was instantly grabbed by Qianye Ying'er.
“We are no match for Tai Yin.” Qianye Ying’er said in a low voice, “The guardian of Zhoutian is far more terrifying than you think. Even in this state... he still has the ability to strike back and kill us!”
