Liu Qingcheng waited in the Golden Phoenix Tower for a long time.
She waited from dawn till dusk, from the moment the iron hooves of the army led by Prince Jingnan stepped through the streets of Zangfengzhou, to the moment the sage's finger fell from the sky again.
In the midst of anxiety, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. The people of the Mountain and Sea Alliance retreated back to the Golden Phoenix Tower and even accepted some practitioners who came to seek refuge.
In the darkness, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and solemn.
She heard some unfamiliar practitioners sighing in low voices, resigned to their fate in despair. They were afraid that none of them could escape this disaster today, and Cangfengzhou would become a ghost city today.
Yes, who can save these more than five million people under the hands of the saint?
Even gods can’t save you!
Liu Qingcheng leaned against the window in a daze, thinking in her mind, so this is the world of demons and cultivators.
Even those who seemed extremely powerful to her had more powerful people above them. She didn't even need a word, just a finger to kill them.
It seems... not much better than ordinary people.
If the young master of the Chang family wanted to force Lianmi to be his concubine, he had to use many tricks and spend a lot of effort. But in the end, it only took a moment to take millions of lives.
When Liu Qingcheng thought of the little girl who was always a little silly, she felt a dull pain and emptiness in her heart.
"Just as he said, the demon is having a much worse life than me."
Liu Qingcheng smiled bitterly and laughed at herself.
Countless fantasies of the past were shattered today.
In this world, it turns out that being an ignorant mortal is actually much happier than these practitioners who live from day to day without a fight.
The monster does not gain freedom, it just jumps from one mud pit into another.
Liu Qingcheng suddenly felt that she had lost her strength, and leaned against the window and slowly slid down.
I thought, dying here would be pretty good.
At least, she did see a lot of different things... things that she would never see in her entire life as a caged bird in a brothel, things beyond the four directions of the sky.
Liu Qingcheng's eyes dimmed and slowly sank into darkness.
Then, she saw a light.
That streak of light shot up into the sky, breaking through the darkness that covered the sky and the sun, and turned into colorful smoke and boundless mountains and rivers.
The sky is full of brilliance, and the pillars of heaven are shattered!
She raised her head as high as she could at the window, her eyes wide open, and saw clearly that the person who punched the saint and pointed at him in the air, causing strange phenomena in the sky, was Chen Kuang.
This is what heroism is all about.
There was an uproar all around. Liu Qingcheng stared blankly at the falling light, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, when Chen Kuang held her in his arms to save her life, their backs and chests pressed tightly against each other.
What was she thinking at that time?
The thought that flashed through her mind for a moment seemed to be that the man's chest and arms were so hard, so hot, and so broad, as if they could support the collapsed sky.
“So it really works…”
Liu Qingcheng murmured.
A slight itchy warmth arose in her heart, like a new bud sprouting from the soil, quietly pushing away the layers of darkness above her head and breaking out of the ground.
She suddenly wanted to rush out, rush to the place where the light landed, and look at Chen Kuang's face.
But the situation is still unclear, and the leader and several elders have not returned.
Liu Qingcheng had just started practicing and had almost no cultivation. Going out now would be tantamount to seeking death and ruining other people's arrangements.
So she could only wait patiently.
When the commotion outside finally died down, many practitioners returned to the streets.
The demons in the Golden Phoenix Tower received messages one after another, confirming their temporary safety and the news that the leader and elders would be back soon. They cheered and went out to prepare to welcome them.
Liu Qingcheng also quickly tidied up her messy and dirty skirt, mixed in with the crowd, walked to the door and looked around reservedly.
She saw the leader of the Shanhai Alliance who looked like a child, and saw Yu Xiangsi... but Liu Qingcheng did not find the familiar face.
Yu Xiangsi walked in front of Liu Qingcheng, wanting to say something but stopping herself from speaking.
But Liu Qingcheng already knew what she was going to say, and her mind was in a mess.
Liu Qingcheng was familiar with this mother who had taught her for many years. Her throat was dry, and after a long pause, she finally spoke with difficulty, "He's gone?"
Yu Xiangsi was stunned and joked, "I thought you would ask if he was dead."
Liu Qingcheng shook her head and said firmly: "He won't die."
Seeing that she looked relatively calm, Yu Xiangsi asked in surprise, "Do you really trust him so much?"
Liu Qingcheng blinked suddenly: "I don't believe him, I understand you, Mom. Even if he is really dead, seeing me like this, you will definitely lie to me and say he is just gone."
"That way, I won't be too sad."
Yu Xiangsi found it a little funny, but she felt relieved in her heart.
What she feared most was that Liu Qingcheng would be trapped in it and unable to get out... After Qingcheng was rescued by Chen Kuang, the way she looked at him was like a newborn chick looking at a hen.
Now the old hen flapped its wings and left, leaving the little chick at a loss, not knowing where to go. It’s so pitiful to think about it.
Yu Xiangsi looked at Liu Qingcheng and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Liu Qingcheng was silent for a while, then asked, "Can you please tell me...what are the Shanhai Alliance planning to do next?"
Yu Xiangsi told Liu Qingcheng all of Kui's plans - they were all conspiracies anyway, and if Yang State could survive, it could only be said that it was destiny, and the country's fortune should not be cut off.
Liu Qingcheng took a deep breath and said softly:
"My cultivation is too low. Even if I follow the Mountain and Sea Alliance, I won't be of any use."
