Jiuquanjie
The book in his hand recorded that King Wu of Zhou overthrew King Zhou of Shang, and Daji and Emperor Xin perished in a sea of fire. The new dynasty was then named Zhou.
Upon seeing this, the young man, dressed in white with silver hair, peach blossom eyebrows, and a blue lotus between his brows, silently closed the book and set it aside.
Seeing the boy's reaction, Mo Chen, who was sitting behind him drinking liquor, couldn't help but smile and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so calm about this ending."
"So how should I behave? Should I clap my hands in delight or sigh like an old man lamenting the past dynasty?" The white-robed youth asked expressionlessly, revealing no emotion.
Mo Chen smiled slightly, pushed the warmed wine in front of the white-robed youth, extended his hand to indicate "please," and then drank it alone without saying anything.
The young man in white calmly raised his wine glass. "Having come here with you, I don't know why, but I seem to have lost interest in it all."
Mo Chen shrugged and continued, "The records there aren't complete. There are some things you should know. Jiang Shang, whom you used to want to deal with, is now the prime minister assisting Zhou. The Li family, whom you wanted to repay a debt of gratitude to, has also submitted to King Wu. And then there's Deng Chanyu, who saved your life..."
Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, the white-robed youth coldly interrupted, "Stop!"
"What? You don't want to hear it anymore?" Mo Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled wickedly. "There are many people you've forgotten who participated in this historic war!"
"What does that have to do with me? All I want to do right now is drink here and wait for her. I don't want to concern myself with anything else!" The young man in white frowned slightly and said, "If you keep talking to me, I'll kick you out!"
Seeing the white-clad youth's furrowed brows, Mo Chen suddenly realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to know, but rather that he didn't want to admit that the person who had once called him a friend had died in the war that started because of him.
Perhaps among them is Mu Qing, known as the infamous femme fatale Su Daji; perhaps it is Shen Wei, known as the sorcerer Shen Gongbao; perhaps there are other demons and monsters...
In any case, he has completely let go.
Mo Chen smiled but didn't expose his thoughts. Instead, he put on a sorrowful expression and said, "Alas, that fox eats my food and lives in my house, and now he wants to kick me out? Is there no justice in this world? Does he have no human rights at all?" Mo Chen looked miserable.
"Your territory is governed by my rules, what right do you have to talk about human rights?" The boy's sly smile was so handsome that it really infuriated someone.
"You're such a cunning and treacherous fox! I was blind back then! How could I have taken you in!" Mo Chen was filled with regret for letting him live in his house out of kindness. What a terrible mistake!
As he spoke, the alarm bells of the Nine Springs Realm rang. Mo Chen abruptly stood up, his face grave. "The alarm bells haven't rung for thousands of years. I never expected them to ring when the gate is at its weakest. And now the Realm Lord isn't here..."
The young man in white didn't inquire about the thousands of years of history, nor did he ask what a door was. He simply sensed that this was a dangerous moment and wanted to do something to help them...
Without hesitation, she stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing unwavering resolve in each other's eyes, and then walked outside without hesitation.
At this moment, Bu Yunrui led Cang Li and many other powerful individuals into the forbidden area of the sea tribe.
Xingyu was held aside by Cangli, who had a cold expression on her face. She would never forget how pitiful this woman looked when she was cowardly trying to survive, which disgusted her!
Having regained his true appearance, Bu Yunrui looked around and exclaimed, "This is truly a different world! Even the air in this world is different from what I've ever known!"
Greedily absorbing the aura of the Nine Springs Realm, an aura permeated with death and an oppressive atmosphere, yet it was uniquely comforting to Bu Yunrui!
Everyone looked at the man who had already become king and silently lowered their proud heads.
"Who do we have here? I didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance, you sly fox, come and see!" Mo Chen laughed as he stepped out of the mist ahead.
"Strategist?!" Cang Li looked at Mo Chen in surprise.
"Oh, you're here too!" Mo Chen smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-clad youth emerged from the mist, holding an umbrella and deliberately keeping it low to the ground, so no one recognized his silver hair.
The only thing one could observe was his gloomy aura, as if he had lost his mind and become a puppet, like a walking corpse living alone in the world, cut off from everyone and everything in this world!
However, only a few people know that there is one person and one thing that he will always cherish, but that person has not yet appeared...
"Hahaha, who do we have here? It's none other than my great strategist from the Demon Clan!" Bu Yunrui laughed heartily.
Hearing Bu Yunrui's words, Mo Chen laughed loudly, "Haha, I thought it was some kind of demon or monster, but I didn't expect it to be a living person. Thinking about it, the only human being who can make the underworld wary is probably you! However, I really admire you for being able to laugh even in the underworld!"
Everyone looked at Mo Chen strangely.
"What Nine Springs?"
Where is the Ninth Spring?
...
"Since you dared to come here, how come you don't even know who Jiuquan is?" Mo Chen smiled wickedly, scanning everyone with a look of pity as if they were dead. "I really feel sorry for you..."
The young man in white glanced at him subtly, but said nothing, which was an indication of his acquiescence.
Suddenly, Mo Chen noticed Xing Yu and became interested. "How about we play a game?"
Xingyu was terrified. Only then did she recognize Mo Chen's voice. He was the one who had guided her back then. She cried out in panic, "I don't want to die! Let me go back!"
Breaking free from Cangli's control, she crashed directly into the barrier and was bounced back, falling heavily to the ground.
