Chapter 268: When the Flying Birds Float in the Moonlight and the Blue Sky·38
Xiao Hao’s current situation is a bit tricky.
When the Life and Death Dragon attacked, he took the fatal damage for Dongfang. Under normal circumstances, he should have died with empty blood, leaving a corpse on the ground, just like in Shaolin.
But he came to this world as a spirit without a body. After returning to Zhaoming, those Yanjia also became a part of Zhaoming, causing him to become a body composed of spiritual power again... So after the sword spirit’s body dissipated with the Life and Death Dragon, his spirit body was gone, but his consciousness remained between heaven and earth.
Not even a soul.
And the system’s transmission seemed to be delayed.
Xiao Hao didn't dare to send a private message to anyone present, fearing that Fuxi would discover his plan again. So he floated behind Changqin and Chanyu, and waited for Fuxi to leave before saving the messy stalls left in the Shura Field.
Fuxi seemed to be displeased with the lifeless plants and buildings in the city. He threw down his orders and asked Yuqi if he would go back to heaven with him. After being rejected, he left without any regrets.
Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and sent a private message to Shi Zhixuan to ask him to stay in the gang territory. Otherwise, if he showed up again, everyone would find that the evil king who had been eliminated had appeared again, and they didn't know how much they would be shocked.
In this situation, Fuxi left him a very decent way.
That's right, they all mistook the Butterfly of the Life and Death Butterfly for the Psionic Butterfly of the Nether Butterfly Seal. Just like the spiritual power rampage just now, his "Psionic Butterfly" must have been raised for at least a hundred years, so they only thought that he was planning to die with someone from the beginning.
Feeding the devil with one's body... sounds really righteous. Xiao Hao shook his head in self-mockery.
The crown of the sky was broken, and everyone in the silence had a vague memory of what had just happened. Le Wuyi held his head and frowned, saying, "Strange... How did I fall asleep suddenly? I seemed to dream of many butterflies... A voice told me that Zhaoming and the evil king died together?!"
Yuqi stood under the lifeless Jumu, with a complicated look on his face, "You all heard the old man Fuxi's decree."
Wen Renyu also woke up and was shocked to see the collapsing Liuyue City: "Fuxi? Was that Fuxi just now?! What happened?"
Shen Xi rubbed his eyes and looked around strangely, but showed a sad expression: "Brother... Is Brother Hao gone?"
"..." Shen Ye was protected by the blood of God. Although the dream of the Crown of the Sky affected part of his memory, some images were still preserved. He could not answer Shen Xi's question, so he could only rub her head soothingly.
Yan Xie on the side had a strange expression on his face, hesitating to speak.
Yan Xie was just a Yan Jia, not a real human. The Crown of the Sky could have an effect on him and control his dreams, but it could not affect the memories he had stored in the meditation box. And the reason why Shen Xi remembered it was the same.
Knowing the secret of God is not a good thing.
The current fate of Liuyue City is due to the secret of God.
He sighed, and took the initiative to stand up and explain to everyone: "Just now, due to the strange phenomenon of Zhaoming's remodeling, the Emperor came. The evil king wanted to kill the god, and Ah Hao had been lurking beside the evil king for a long time. He caught him off guard and trapped him with the Seal of the Dark Butterfly, and then exploded his spiritual power and died with him. The Emperor did not want mortals to get involved in the affairs of the gods, so he used the Crown of the Sky to erase some of your memories. But the Crown of the Sky was made by me, so it has no effect on me."
The secret that the gods were stabbed by mortals should remain a secret forever.
Yuqi glanced at Yanxie silently, as if he tacitly agreed with his statement.
Le Wuyi and the others were shocked and couldn't believe it: "Master, you mean...?"
Yan Xie said seriously: "According to my speculation, Ah Hao may have discovered very early that the Evil King might become a disaster to the Three Realms, so he began to approach the Evil King since his soul was still in the Demon Realm. But the Evil King's growth rate exceeded his expectations, and he himself had lost most of his Zhaoming power. He was worried that he would not be able to stop the Evil King after recovery, so he secretly used his spiritual power to breed the Nether Butterfly in his body, trying to find an opportunity to seal him in one fell swoop."
Shen Ye frowned and suddenly said: "...It turns out that he was looking for old friends in the lower realm just as an excuse."
If Xiao Hao could not deal with the Evil King alone, then his action of looking for Chang Qin was most likely to find help to fight the enemy together.
It just so happened that the person he was looking for was also proficient in healing magic, and the promise to Liuyue City was just right for cover.
Shen Ye felt unhappy that he was being played around by others. If that was true, then Xiao Hao's seemingly dedicated arrangements for Liuyue City might have other purposes behind them.
Ah Ruan disagreed, "Brother Xie Yi, is the sword spirit really just trying to get rid of the evil king? A person's eyes can't lie, I think... I think he is..."
Wen Renyu also said, "Not bad, if it's just to gain the trust of the evil king, why bother to announce it to the world to express... cough, to express love..."
Xia Yi thought about it and said, "This question may be very simple."
Everyone looked at him.
"The former Gentleman Sword and the current number one assassin of Zhan Ni Tang are two completely different people. Perhaps Zhao Ming was influenced by the evil king while influencing him." He paused and said hesitantly, "Senior Xiao may have followed the emperor's order to approach the evil king at first, but after getting along with him, they gradually became close friends. He was unwilling to see the lives of the living beings turned into ashes, and he was unwilling to disobey orders. So he assisted the inner demon used by the evil king to release the soul-breaking grass, while at the same time he was taking actions to destroy the soul-breaking grass."
In this way, some of Xiao Hao's contradictory actions can be explained.
He was probably trying to reduce the sins of himself and the evil king. Maybe
he tried to lead the evil king onto the right track and find a way out, but ultimately failed. When Zhaoming became a sword and attracted Fuxi, on one side was the master he was loyal to, and on the other side was the person he was concerned about. The two met in battle, and in the end Zhaoming chose to protect his master Fuxi and keep the world peaceful.
After all, they were not tolerated by the world, and dying together was a kind of fulfillment.
"Senior Ziyin said that Shi Zhixuan was an ancient and unparalleled genius. From his behavior just now, it is not difficult to see that he is a learned and elegant person. He should have been a proud son of heaven. I am afraid that what he has become today is also related to the Emperor's step-by-step pressure.
Xia Yi did not say it out loud, but everyone present understood what he meant.
Fate is a trick.
In order to change the predetermined fate and alleviate the catastrophe in the human world, he was misunderstood by the three realms and bore a bad name. He maneuvered for a hundred years until his body and soul were destroyed, and even his soul was gone... He is really a Tang Sect. He is cruel to his enemies and even crueler to himself.
What did the Zhaoming Sword Spirit experience during the years he wandered in the Demon Realm?
Yu Qi said at this time: "I said that Zhaoming is the work I am most proud of in my life." Although the truth is not exactly as they said, the inside story is probably not far off.
Ah Ruan lowered her head and became sad: "I... I will never say bad things about him again... Why can't people who love each other be together happily..."
Yuqi shook his head and smiled lightly: "Silly girl, everyone has such people and things in their hearts. Even if they are guilty, they must resolutely bear it." He returned to the sword body and urged: "This city is about to be destroyed, you all go to the lower world quickly."
Le Wuyi and others nodded, but saw Shen Ye handed Shen Xi to Chuqi and asked them to leave.
Shen Xi was immediately dissatisfied: "I don't want it! Where my brother is, Xiaoxi is there! Xiaoxi, don't leave my brother!"
"Xiaoxi, be good," Shen Ye pinched Shen Xi's cheek and said softly: "Sister Cangming needs someone to accompany her, you go first, I will be there soon."
In this life, he has never lived for himself once, and at this moment, he can finally follow his own wishes.
——He knew that Cangming had woken up.
Everyone in this city had fulfilled their wishes. Cangming and her Dark Butterfly Seal, Huayue was determined to stay in deep thought, Xieyi was willing to defect to defend his own way, Xiaoxi was ignorant but insisted on accompanying him to the end...
But he was the only one who had never lived according to his own will since the night he stepped out of Jumu.
For this city, he had almost sacrificed everything.
Just this once, he wanted...
Chuqi stood behind Shen Ye, motionless.
Shen Xi insisted, "I don't want to be separated from my brother!"
Le Wuyi exclaimed, "You want to stay?!"
Shen Ye turned around and walked step by step towards the gentle and quiet woman under the square wood, "I am the high priest of the Lord of Cangming City. Wherever she is, I will be there."
Chu Qi and Shen Xi looked at each other, and Shen Xi held Chu Qi's hand and followed behind Shen Ye.
The beams in silence broke. Under the setting sun, Le Wuyi was pulled onto the back of the gluttonous chicken by Wen Renyu, but his outstretched hands could not hold the corners of anyone's clothes.
Under the feet of the Yellow Spring Road, there are old friends around, Xiao Hao's consciousness hovered around them, and suddenly felt that this moment was... good.
I never felt the bitter cold here before, but when the spring in the city faded and the city was frozen for thousands of miles, I realized how cold it was.
He tried his best to send a heart sword to Changqin, and Changqin seemed to feel it, but there was nothing around except the rectangular wood.
A familiar voice rang in his heart: "Go, Zhixuan and I will live well in the other world, don't worry about me, and don't let Yuqi worry... I'm leaving."
Changqin was stunned, caught the sword intention, and nodded solemnly.

When the city was broken, the Memory Fantasy City of Tongtianzhiqi opened under the feet of the rectangular wood. Le Wuyi, riding on the back of Kunpeng, looked back and found that Shen Ye and the others were gone. At the entrance of the Memory Fantasy City stood a strange figure with a calm face and a guqin in his arms.
He met Le Wuyi's gaze, closed his eyes gently, and nodded slightly.
It was like a spring breeze in a dream.
