"Here?" Lan Yezhou rolled on the ground, instantly forgetting her sadness. "Are you kidding me? It's really here?"
"Yes, there's also a Netherworld Lotus inside." Yang Wennan took a breath and looked at the phoenix in the sky, asking Ling Yi, "Will there be a phoenix when the Snow Maiden comes?"
“Golden Crow!” Ling Yi scratched his head. “I’ve forgotten whether it’s a Golden Crow or a Phoenix.”
"Perhaps both? What do you remember?"
"Golden Crow".
“But I remember it as a phoenix,” he laughed. “Do you remember the Snow Maiden’s former name?”
“Slaughter?” Ling Yi replied, “I only remember that it was a god who controlled war, who for some reason separated half of his power and left it on the snowfield.”
“I have another version here.” Yang Wennan laughed until tears streamed down her face. “Some people call her Xiao Ge because of Jinwu.”
"Didn't Senior Brother just say that the one beside Killer was a phoenix?"
"Phoenix took her to my place. Phoenix is the messenger between the Thirteen Moon Clan and her. As for Golden Crow, he must be playful. So much so that after so many years, he has completely forgotten his mission and was captured by mortals."
"The one beside Junior Brother Yuan?"
"Yes, I only remembered it after seeing this phoenix."
"That's really not easy."
“Sometimes…” Yang Wennan pointed at the phoenix in the sky and threw a pebble, as if to attract the phoenix, “I don’t know if you’re pretending to be stupid or acting foolish, Ling Yi. Really, you are very similar to someone in my memory, but I can’t connect the two of you.”
"who?"
“The first Demon Lord.” Yang Wennan pulled his face, as if sizing him up. “You and he have very similar personalities. That one was the disciple of slaughter. He was the first to arrive in the Snow Region and the one who massacred the Soul Clan. Later, that place became the present-day Northern Demon Region.”
Ling Yi frowned, as if recalling something or confirming it. Finally, he asked uncertainly, "Senior brother, are you saying that I am that Demon Lord? But... I still don't remember anything about it."
“That demon lord died because he fought against Qi Yun,” Yang Wennan added. “Do you know why?”
This question, seemingly directed at Ling Yi, was actually his own self-answer: "Because Qi Yun has awakened, a primordial god was tricked by the gods of later generations, and Qi Yun was forced to use a body of slaughter, and her divine status has been reduced."
"The divine authority of prayer has descended, but what about the slaughter?"
"Of course he was promoted."
The phoenix was still lingering, soaring slowly as if searching for something. Soon, it plunged into the clouds.
"Can I...can I rest?" Lou Shujie ran over, accompanied by his two senior brothers.
Because Wang Xi shot an arrow at Peng Da, he has been protected and has not died yet.
However, he was still wary of Ling Yi, because it was this very child in front of him who had previously ordered Wang Xi to shoot him.
"Please." Yang Wennan pointed to an open space a little ahead.
In reality, there is no longer any open space here; corpses are everywhere. If you don't stand carefully, you might get hit by a corpse falling from the sky.
Lou Shujie attracted a lot of wild animals, and later Huang Yi discovered that the kid was slacking off. In the end, the slacking team became the current trio.
The three of them were exhausted. Although it was just a matter of luring monsters, the amount of physical exertion they expended was beyond what most people could imagine.
"Thank you, thank you." The three men said awkwardly, their eyes darting warily around the two brothers.
"Instead of watching us, we should go and talk to them and get them to bring in more. Look, it's already dawn."
Huang Yi had been busy all night and originally wanted to say, "Why didn't you go?", but then he suddenly realized that this blind man in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend.
"Okay, let's go."
"Thanks." Yang Wennan took out a steamed bun and handed it to Ling Yi. "If you want to sleep, I can hold you for a while. How about that as a final farewell?"
Are you leaving?
“No snow maiden will be in danger there. Now that she’s here, I’ll naturally go and take her place.” He picked up a snowflake, watching it melt in his hand. “And you? How much longer can you stay with Master?”
"Master, is it the slaughter from a past life?"
"Yes and no!" He looked at the sky, where the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, which meant that the Snow Maiden's influence was not limited to Qinghe Mountain, but should have begun to penetrate into the barrier.
"Senior Brother Yang," Ling Yi tugged at his cloak, "Give me a thicker cloak! I'm getting cold again. I'm just an ordinary person now, you know."
"You really are something!" he scoffed, tossing his cloak to him. "You're such a spoilsport."
"Because I really don't know the answer to your question. Perhaps I will know the answer in the future, but right now the gods in the upper realm are not happy to see this situation."
"Yes!" He glanced at the sky with apprehension. A phoenix peeked out from the clouds, and the snowflakes on its body began to melt.
"Have they left?"
"Hmm, they must be looking for something?" He looked at the door behind him. Lan Yezhou didn't dare to touch it and was examining the strange door with a tinderbox.
"Old Yang! Do you know how to open this? This doesn't seem to be a Thousand-Mechanism Lock! It's much more advanced than your master's lock."
"Someone will open it eventually."
"Someone's there? Who is it?"
"Get out of the way!" Qiao Yu grabbed a huge cat and threw it towards them. "Junior Brother Lan, get out of the way!"
"I'm your senior brother!" Lan Yezhou was still joking, but his body moved with his own will, and he had already gone around to the back of the door.
The cat demon was sucked in the moment it approached the barrier, but compared to ordinary beasts, it only turned into blood mist and did not turn into minced meat, which greatly reduced Lan Yezhou's nausea.
"Junior Brother Yang." Qiao Yu looked at the fragments on the ground and the evaporating blood mist, as if she had just thought of something. "You want a high-grade one?"
"The higher the better. If Cangjie likes it, then the lotus will like it even more."
"Understood."
Every natural treasure has its own way of survival; they will grow towards what they need. Especially treasures like the Netherworld Lotus, which are said to be miraculous, have long since developed sentience and know how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
The battles within this illusion are only a few, and given their familiarity with the terrain, they are willing to take risks in the face of powerful killing intent.
At this moment, Yang Wennan was almost certain that the lotus flower was nearby.
As for the Cangjie sword, made from the roots and bones of a demonic dragon, it is even more bloodthirsty; the more blood it receives, the more excited it becomes.
Yang Wennan chose to stay here and not leave for this reason. If you can have the goods delivered to your door, who would want to go out hunting?
"Junior Sister! Show off your archery skills!"
"Senior brother! I think you can advance to the next rank now, so don't stop." Wang Xi changed his moves, and the arrows he shot out circled around the demonic beasts like he was teasing a cat, causing them to crash headlong into the trap where Lan Yezhou was located.
