At this moment, the thriving tree began to crumble, its leaves gradually turning yellow and withered, like a tree severely infested with pests, devoid of any vitality.
Flames erupted from the black robes on the tree, igniting the towering ancient tree. The fire spread rapidly and fiercely.
"Leave this place." Wen Jingge pulled the little girl away. "Your master is dead. You're free now."
"No, no!" Chicken Essence shook his head. "That thing isn't broken. It, it, it's still connected."
Suddenly, a hand crawled out of the ground, and a living person walked out of the tree.
Compared to men, he is irrelevant.
Compared to a normal person, this is a fire person.
He had boundless energy compared to a dying man.
"Wen Xueshan?" Lu Wei called his name tentatively, but Wen Xueshan's body on the ground was gone.
They could only live after God died; he had never lied.
"Ancestor." The fire man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wen Jinge, "Thank you for sparing my life, Ancestor."
"Was that you just now?" Wen Jingge's brows furrowed. "Are you Wen Xueshan, who committed suicide, or the man I killed?"
“It’s all.” The flames on Wen Xueshan’s body showed no signs of stopping. “This junior remembers now. This junior is the heart of this tree. I was supposed to die on a stormy night, but I was saved by you, senior. From then on, I became your messenger. As for those of me in the heavens, they are your eyes that peer into the human world.”
No, I didn't do it, you've mistaken me for someone else.
Wen Jingge really wanted to deny it three times.
"Is this fire expensive?" Unfortunately, she misspoke.
Lu Wei: ...
“Master, he, he is my new master!” Chicken Essence pointed at Wen Xueshan, “I, I still have to follow him.”
"You don't want to go with him?"
“He’s so fierce, and he seems to have mental issues. I’m afraid I’ll really die if I go with him.”
Wen Xueshan flicked her finger, and the chicken essence immediately gagged, spitting out a piece of paper-like meat. "It wasn't me who put you with the master, and I have no intention of taking in any maids. You can leave now!"
"Hmph! Fine, I'll leave! You! Don't you dare harm anyone again. I saw you kill so many people."
“Murder…” Wen Xueshan murmured. He couldn’t kill anyone. Just like Wen Jinge was carrying this burden, he also had to carry the debts owed by those “eyes.” “You can’t leave.”
"Why?" The little girl wanted to argue further, but Wen Jingge quickly covered her mouth. "Why can't she leave?"
“If someone is killed, and the messenger is killed upon arrival, this place will be destroyed. At that time…” He looked at Wen Jingge, “the Ancestor will no longer need to bear the burden of this place’s sins, and I will repay the debt according to the Ancestor’s previous arrangements!”
"Pay off debts?"
"The Soul Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Ghost Cultivator—many of these three races perished beneath this towering tree. The man-eating houses on the wasteland, the princess's carriage wandering the borders of the ancient kingdom in search of her husband, the sandstorms that can take away men—all their final resting place is beneath this tree, and it is also mine—"
Yes, those of us in the sky, this is the price of living.
The Grandmaster must have noticed that he came from outside!
First and second-rank Xuan Masters are extremely rare, not because Xuan Qi is scarce, but because they are insatiable and want to consult the gods. The four places to consult the gods are: Qingqiu Lake, Dianshan Mountain Range, Pingchuan Valley, and Mogan City—all located here.
“You’re wrong,” Wen Jingge interrupted him. “The Dianshan Mountains are the current seven peaks of the Xuanyun Sect, Mogan City is the Qianyan Kingdom, and Qingqiu Lake is between the Mizang Sect and the Northern Demon Realm. Oh, Pingchuan Valley…”
This name is really from a long time ago, but according to the plot, the time to go to Hirakawa Valley is not far away.
Pingchuan Valley is a place where Xuanmen disciples are tested on their demon-subduing missions, and it should be located in the Qinghe Mountain area.
"There is now a sect guarding it, called Qinghe Mountain. You'll understand this kind of thing if you spend some time and use your brain. I can imagine that you must have had a very hard time these past few years."
"..."
"If I were one of those people, I would never travel so far and spend so much time in the desert to find a randomly appearing scene, waiting to become the one destined to be there, only to be led into a desperate situation."
Wouldn't a legitimate institution be better? Each of these four places has a history of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Only greedy people would believe in legends.
What are legends! Fragments pieced together from idle gossip heard from all sides; to believe such one-sided accounts deserves to be digested until not even a bone remains!
Wen Xueshan was scolded into silence. He never imagined that the ancestor he would face many years later would be such an upright and honest one.
At that moment, he truly felt extremely ashamed.
"Hahaha! Young friend, you speak well! You are indeed the person I have been looking for."
"Hmm?" Wen Jingge frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple. "You arranged this?"
Unfortunately, she ended up with a Wen Xueshan who looked exactly like her in the application, which means that it wasn't Wen Xueshan playing him.
"You're looking for me?" She stood in front of Lu Wei, her aura thick and strong, unlike that of a Xuan Master; she must be an enemy.
Lu Wei was still in a soul form. Although she was stronger than her disciples, her woman's sixth sense told her that this old man had definitely come for her from the very beginning.
This guy is arrogant, like he hasn't been taught a lesson in eight hundred years.
"You're Wen Jingge?"
"Have you seen me before?"
"...Never seen it before!"
"Then you've got the wrong person."
Lu Wei and Wen Xueshan: ...
"...It shouldn't be like this..."
This word...
Lu Wei's lips twitched; he was really tired of hearing it.
You can say whatever you want to Wen Jingge, but if you say you shouldn't, aren't you just asking for a beating?
The last experienced one is still burning inside the tree!
