Without the hindrance of those noisy mortals, the four of them traveled very quickly.
However... neither Long Xun, who knew the plot, nor Baili Tusu, who had been to Ganquan Village in his previous life, expected that when they arrived at Ganquan Village ahead of time, hoping to save Luo Yunping from the tragedy in the village, they would find that the peaceful and beautiful little village engulfed in a fire.
The continuous drizzle in Ganquan Village was like drops of hot oil, unable to extinguish the raging fire, only making it burn brighter and brighter!
No screams were heard, because the fire that had started at some unknown time had already burned everyone to death.
Flames licked the sky; this fire, which had started at an unknown time and would not be extinguished at any moment, burned only on the land of Ganquan Village, never crossing any boundaries.
Looking at everything before him, Baili Tusu instinctively looked at Ouyang Shaogong. Under the flickering firelight, the gentle and refined young man's expression turned cold. He looked at his adoptive father and said three words in a deep voice: "It is Heavenly Fire."
Heavenly fire descends from the heavens, born of divine power. It never dies when it encounters water or earth, and will only extinguish itself after burning away all evil.
Long Xun transformed into a dragon, soaring upwards and breaking through the dark clouds above Ganquan Village. Amidst the long dragon roar, a light drizzle of blue rain fell, each drop striking the heavenly fire and gradually extinguishing it.
Nothing remains of the village now, only the ruins of the buildings that once stood there, showing that it was once a small village.
Baili Tusu stared at Long Xun, his eyes widening slightly. He had no idea that his adoptive father, Shao Gong, with whom he had traveled for several days, was actually a dragon.
The dragon that descended from the sky didn't look at him at that moment. It simply landed on the ground with its four claws, lowered its head, and looked at its lover with its pale golden vertical pupils: "Ah Chen..."
Yin Chen smiled slightly: "I understand, go ahead."
The heavenly fire that came out of nowhere could only have come from the Heavenly Realm. Since Long Xun wanted to go to the Heavenly Realm to find out the truth, he would not stop him.
His companion is a deity, a fact that Yin Chen had long been aware of.
The silver dragon shook its head slightly, and its fleshy whiskers, which floated on its sides without wind, trembled slightly.
He said, "Come with me."
For Long Xun, events from even the distant past are as clear as yesterday. He doesn't know why his memory is missing, but among the things he recalls, he has never forgotten that behind his partner, there was an enemy lurking menacingly.
If you're apart for too long, unpredictable things can happen.
"Where is Shao Gong?" Yin Chen looked at Ouyang Shao Gong, who had regained his composure. The latter revealed a gentle smile, but his narrow phoenix eyes flashed with an unpredictable and dangerous light: "Godfather, godfather, go ahead. Human affairs are not as important as changes in the heavens."
After Mount Buzhou collapsed, the connection between the heavenly light and the earth's veins was severed, and the turbid and pure air could no longer circulate. The earth's veins were blocked, and the pure air gradually became scarce. Over time, the immortals and gods were destined to disappear from the world.
Even though Ouyang Shaogong's elder brother, Zhong Gulongshu Shunaicha, worked day and night to clear the blockages and filth from the earth's veins, he could only ensure that the human realm was safe; the celestial realm had no jurisdiction over it.
Since immortals and gods are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm, what happens in the heavenly realm is even more unknown to humans.
Long Xun looked at Ouyang Shaogong. The young man, who was suddenly moved by the tragedy of the heavenly fire destroying the human village, closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then opened his eyes again. The smile on his lips had returned to its warmth: "Godfather, I am fine. It is enough for you, young hero, to help me with the matter of Yuheng."
If the celestial realm had never interfered with the mortal world, its demise would have been a natural consequence, something that neither the vain Shao Gong nor the cold-hearted Long Xun would have forgotten.
—When the Heavenly Emperor ascended to heaven and left the earth, abandoning mortals, it was destined that mortals would one day abandon them as well.
Long Xun then looked at Baili Tusu.
The young swordsman froze, not daring to move, under the indifferent and majestic gaze of the dragon. He felt that the dragon had seen through everything about him, including his life and his secret past life that he had never told anyone.
Long Xun finally said, "I'm leaving Shao Gong to you."
The young hero was stunned for a while before he reacted and nodded solemnly.
However, the person Long Xun truly entrusted with this task stood tall within the Yaoshan illusion of the Burning Sword, his gentle and serene face turning serious as he solemnly declared: "I am willing to guarantee this with my life."
Long Xun lowered his dragon head, and Yin Chen touched the ground with his toes at the right moment, his body as light as a feather, and he sat down cross-legged between his dragon horns. After that, the silver dragon took off again and soared into the sky, its winding figure quickly disappearing into the vast sea of clouds.
As Ouyang Shaogong watched his adoptive father and adoptive father walk away, for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Silently shaking his head to clear his mind, Ouyang Shaogong turned to the young hero and said softly, "Let's go."
"Mm," Baili Tusu responded softly.
Meanwhile, Long Xun and Yin Chen had already flown to the untouchable edge of the sky.
Yin Chen held onto his dragon horn with one hand. The pure air in the sky was much more abundant than the turbid air, making him feel more comfortable.
Some things that are inconvenient to say in front of children can be said.
“Ah Xun, I have a feeling… there’s something strange about this.”
"Hmm." Long Xun responded, saying calmly, "Heavenly fires differ depending on the divine power they contain. That fire is radiant and contains not a trace of evil energy; it is indeed divine fire from the heavens. However, its crimson color suggests it was created by a fire-elemental deity."
“Shao Gong’s father, Zhu Rong, is the God of Fire…” Yin Chen asked hesitantly.
"It's not him." Long Xun slowly searched for the entrance to the Heavenly Realm in the sky. The Heavenly Realm is not on the same plane as the human world, but is attached to it. Only places with exceptional purity and energy can enter.
