Chapter 124 Chapter 124
The battle seemed to last for a long time, so long that people forgot the time. They only remembered that it got dark again and again, and it was still a dark sky now.
The phoenix paid a small price by severing one of Death's wings. He nonchalantly wiped the blood from his wrist, then used the blood as a medium to summon a phoenix fire.
For the God of Death, wings were extremely important. The moment he lost one wing, he felt the pain so intense that he almost lost all ability to move. He didn't even bother to maintain his balance, and plummeted to the ground with a howl of agony.
The people below were fighting fiercely when they suddenly looked up and found that the most terrifying monster was falling towards them. They were so scared that they jumped on the spot and grabbed their companions to run away.
Fortunately, the God of Death did not fall to the ground in the end. He was burned to ashes by the flames in the air, and even the smoke produced by the burning quickly dissipated.
It looks like he walked cleanly and neatly.
A dark object fell out of the flames. Phoenix fished it out and saw that it was a horribly ugly pot, as if someone had punched it hard while it was still unfired.
Mist continued to spew out of the deflated mouth of the jar.
"Is the crack in here?" This thing looked really unbelievable. Phoenix originally thought that the space crack would appear in mid-air, just like the portal in the dragon clan's territory, but he didn't expect it to be a jar.
Liuhe also found it incredible, but still gave him a positive answer.
"Alright." Phoenix curved her eyes and said, "There's no time to lose. It's time to close the shop and say goodbye."
He mobilized the energy within his body, following the methods of the Liuhe Sect, and gradually smoothed out the cracks in the space hidden within the jar. This operation sounded simple and crude, but in practice it proved to be a delicate task.
After all, this crack is nothing else but the world wall, which is related to the safety of the entire world. It must not be taken lightly.
After Phoenix finally finished all this, he felt weak for the first time in a long time.
As Liuhe said, it is true that only the power in the divine nature can repair the world wall, and ordinary energy is simply not enough.
At a certain moment, Phoenix's senses seemed to synchronize with Liuhe's. He clearly felt the existence of the world wall, and also noticed that there were still cracks of varying sizes on it.
Unfortunately, like Liuhe, he could only sense the existence of these cracks but could not determine their specific location.
They are all hidden away, waiting for the next disaster to strike.
Phoenix sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let's go back first."
…
Phoenix felt that he might not know his best friend well enough.
When he finally found You Lin, the guy had his back to him and was trying to scare a human child.
I don't know what expression this guy made, but he scared the naughty kids who originally disliked him as a monster and made them scream and cry, even running away crawling and crying.
You Lin stood up, hummed softly, and shook his clothes, looking very cool. But when he heard the Phoenix's deliberate cough, the whole dragon stiffened visibly and turned around as if nothing had happened.
Then, the moment he saw Phoenix, he lost his composure: "Phoenix, you... you saw everything?"
"Huh? What did I see?" Phoenix said innocently.
"nothing."
He smiled and casually tossed the ugly jar over: "Take it and play with it."
Once the cracks in the jar are completely repaired, it's just an ordinary ugly jar.
For the monks, the black fog was resolved, and the two bosses, one big and one small, who were the most capable of causing trouble, were gone, and the pressure on them was finally reduced by half.
Although those monsters did not die with the leader, without the assistance of the black fog, they were much easier to deal with. At least they would not be resurrected and multiply indefinitely.
When the sky lit up again, these monsters were finally completely eliminated, leaving no trace.
After confirming that it was completely safe, people retrieved the bodies of their friends and family, or some of their belongings, sorted them out, cried for a while, and then packed up and took them home.
For mortals, no matter what happens today, life must go on.
Chen Ying, holding a well-preserved scroll in his mouth, walked wearily to Fenghuang's side. He seemed to have aged thousands of years in an instant, even his hair had turned gray.
"I sent him away." Chen Ying said, "He is controlled by humans and cannot be free."
"That child has always been lucky. He will definitely meet a pair of parents who love him very much in his next life." He raised his head and looked at the sky, not knowing whether he was looking at the falling rain or the vivid figure of the cub in his imagination.
Phoenix didn't tell him the truth, but just patted his shoulder gently: "I will."
As the sun gradually rose, the disaster seemed to be over. Everyone thought so.
It wasn't until months later that people realized the land was no longer habitable. The strange black mist had left an indelible mark.
It is no exaggeration to say that all life on this land has been taken away.
No new life appeared here, not even the most tenacious weeds. The original trees dried up and died, and the land lost its original luster and turned into sand that crumbled easily.
In addition, strange symptoms suddenly appeared among the crowd.
Mortals without cultivation were the first to suffer. Their bodies began to change, and like the corpses before them, they began to grow things that shouldn't have grown.
Fortunately or unfortunately, their sanity was not affected at all, and they would eventually watch clearly as they turned into monsters bit by bit.
Some monks who came to investigate and those who were stationed there also suffered attacks and became mentally ill shortly afterwards. Their symptoms were the opposite of those of ordinary people.
People finally realized that something seemed to have changed.
After experiencing chaos again and again, people moved away, and the once bustling city became a deserted city in the blink of an eye. The broken walls and ruins still stand there, as if silently accusing something.
…
After the weirdness of the human world was completely cleared, Phoenix returned to the demon clan with You Lin. Before leaving, Shen Wuming used a sword technique to exchange a feather for Phoenix.
“Just think of it as a parting gift between friends.” Shen Wuming smiled carefreely.
In fact, he also wanted to ask You Lin for some scales, but unfortunately the other party refused him on the grounds that plucking the scales would cause baldness.
So, both parties gifted each other a bottle of weapon maintenance oil, and You Lin even gave him a special secret anti-rust formula. Both sides felt they had made a profit.
After some time, Shen Wuming found the mountain that Zhiyuan mentioned.
But the target was too vague, and the specific location could not be determined for a while. Shen Wuming had no choice but to ask from house to house, and finally found her master in a dilapidated Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.
The charcoal fire in the room had been out for a long time, and had not even been rekindled. The old man lay quietly in bed, his eyes wide open, as if waiting for someone.
Apart from regret and disappointment, his face looked relatively calm. He did not suffer from any illness and died of old age.
This is a happy funeral.
Shen Wuming said in his heart. But for some reason, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and his heart was inexplicably blocked.
Didn't make it.
He didn't catch up, and neither did the kite.
In the end, the old man never waited for his two children to come home.
"Why were you two running around? If you hadn't run around, you wouldn't have run into this kind of trouble..."
Shen Wuming thought about this matter carefully, and finally came to one conclusion - fate plays tricks on people.
He closed the old man's eyes and dug a hole in the backyard of the Taoist temple so that he could be buried in peace.
When he was filling the soil at the end, he thought about it and decided to put the things left by the kite in. He took out the scroll, and when he was about to put it away, he was shocked to find that some words had emerged in the place that was previously soaked with blood.
"This is……!"
