"What do we do now?" Qingling felt that going forward or not going forward was also problematic, even though he was already flying back.
"Let's find those two guys first!"
"Which two?" Qingling frowned, then suddenly remembered the idiot who threw him into the ice hole. "We've gone our own way, so they should go find them too!"
"I'm just a little worried." Bai Yu lay on his back, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky. "NIO went up through the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan's hidden pawn has made a move."
"Huh, and then what?"
"Then..." Bai Yu's hand itched and plucked one of his crow feathers. Qing Ling trembled with cold air but dared not do anything more. Time was tight, and he didn't have time to mess around with Bai Yu.
"The Soul Clan and Ghost Cultivators are actually one family."
"You don't need to tell me that."
"So those two senior and junior disciples should be on their way."
"I could have guessed that."
“What I mean is…” He tapped Bai Ru on the head. The kid was still looking in the mirror, his expression becoming more and more strange and complicated. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that he wasn’t looking at the mirror but at his own hand.
"What is it! Tell me!"
Bai Ru stared blankly at Bai Yu. He saw Bai Yu tap his forehead again, and his mind cleared up considerably. He glanced at the mirror in his hand in confusion, but the image had frozen.
"It's dawn."
"Can't ghosts come out after daybreak?"
“Only the messengers of slaughter can emerge.” He licked his lips, his body already burning with barely suppressed rage. “A very fair game.”
“It wasn’t fair before.” Qingling clicked her tongue. “You mean we shouldn’t go to the heavens now, but instead go find the Ghost Lord of Slaughter?”
"There are three in the heavens, one on the earth, and you're just there to make up the numbers."
Qingling: "Are you insulting me?"
"How about we go and have some fun with that first Demon Lord?"
Qingling: "Will the carnage eventually lead to heaven?"
“I thought Fusang wood could transform into human form, but now I think it can’t, whether it’s a clone or the one hidden deepest within her.”
Qingling hesitated for a moment, "You've already destroyed Qinghe Mountain, and the Secret Sect has become a mere shell in Xue Nu's hands. Is it really okay for me to destroy Xuanyun Sect as well?"
"What difference does it make whether it's something you decided long ago or not?"
"I'm afraid of Wen Jingge!" he said helplessly. "Forget it, she's just an avatar, she can't do anything to me. You've already gone down the path she didn't want to see, and she still forgave you."
"Hmm." Bai Yu smiled slightly and said no more.
Qingling felt uneasy as she headed towards Xuanyun Sect, making a few "doo-doo" sounds in her throat. More birds appeared on the road, also making "coo-doo" noises.
"I... I'm from Qinghe Mountain. They recognize me. My past isn't good, is it?"
"Who knows when!" Bai Yu crossed her legs and glanced at him. "You're just like that little girl last time, you fell asleep and ended up inside me. Qingling doesn't want to touch you, but it's fate..."
A strange smile appeared on his lips, as if mocking fate or ridiculing himself, "It doesn't count."
Bai Ru: ……
Bai Yu was always a conversation killer, and Bai Ru didn't speak to him again before they arrived at Xuan Yun Sect.
"I was wondering why the magpies on the mountain have been chirping lately!" Ai Fengling said, blocking the way in mid-air. Actually, they were still quite far from the Xuan Yun Sect.
This person carried a trace of demonic energy, but when they tried to investigate, they couldn't find any trace of it. The demonic energy seemed to be deliberately emitted, intentionally guiding them here.
Qingling's intuition was always very accurate. He knew this person was unusual at first glance, and even looked somewhat familiar.
Have we met before?
Bai Yu also looked at him. He felt that he had seen this person before, but he couldn't remember when.
Ten thousand years is a short time for them. They have met many people, but they do not deliberately record them. The people who are deeply rooted in their memories are those who play important roles in this world.
There are only two possibilities for someone who is clearly in the spotlight but cannot remember: either the person used a trick, or the memory of that person has been erased.
“I’ve not only seen him, but I’ve also been beaten up!” Ai Fengling spun her wheelchair and landed on the ground from the sky.
This is a desolate wilderness, uninhabited by anyone, which is why Ai Fengling led them here.
He didn't want anyone to break the rules before the time was up.
"Demon Lord?" Bai Yu asked.
He had sensed the memories of the first Demon Lord appearing in the Xuan Yun Sect several times, and later learned about what the Demon Lord was doing through some methods, but the Demon Lord's appearance was still a blank to him.
“The first one, the one you said I would be punished for.” Ai Fengling pointed to her leg. “Ten thousand years ago I was defeated, and ten thousand years later I let my own people injure me like this. Perhaps it’s fate… It’s hilarious. With Tianji around, I actually still believe in fate…”
Bai Yu:......
"Do you know about things in heaven?"
"He was the first Demon Lord, after all! The Demon Lord who is about to be reborn has at least let me be his substitute! I still understand the workings of this world."
"So you're protecting the Xuan Yun Sect?"
Ai Fengling had a red thread wrapped around her hand, which connected her to the Xuan Yun Sect, which was far away.
The red thread cannot be severed; his fate is now intertwined with that of the Xuan Yun Sect. If he were to force his way into the palace, the ancient divine souls suppressed at the foot of the mountain might seize the opportunity to escape.
“It’s temporary.” Ai Fengling shrugged. “I took the wrong path in my past life, but in this life I’m on your side. We can’t just fight among ourselves!”
“Xuanyun Sect…” Bai Yu hesitated for a moment.
"My mind is perfectly clear." Ai Fengling patted her leg. "Do you know why my leg suddenly became useless?"
"Because in my past life, or perhaps this life, my leg was also pierced through the knee in the same way. I didn't die, I just fell into a deep sleep, but you think I'm dead."
Bai Yu:......
"In other words, I have all my memories."
Qingling: "How is that possible?"
"I sealed it myself, how could it be impossible? It was inside a ring-shaped magical artifact. The ring was lost when I fought the demonic cultivator, and then my memories returned."
Bai Yu:......
Qingling glanced at Baiyu and said, "I think you're a fool too, sealing yourself in your wings and cutting off your own arm."
Bai Yu: "Let's be silly together."
"So... it's fine to come to Xuanyun Sect as a guest, but to destroy the sect, we'll have to wait for Senior Sister to return."
Bai Yu suddenly laughed, "Will she come back? The rules that were set back then were altered by Bu Suanzi after he realized he had been tricked by his grandmaster. Will they work?"
"Then let's see if I've chosen the right side this time." Ai Fengling was quite frank. "I don't have a chance to gamble anymore. If I'm wrong, I can only admit it."
"That's right, let's be guests!"
“Go to the Illusory Realm of No Form,” Qingling suddenly said. “A voice in my heart tells me that there is a cave there, and something will crawl out of the cave.”
"The one that Senior Sister sealed?"
"right!"
