"Owner?"

Little did they know that the bloody skull's words "master" instantly brought the two back to their senses.

Looking at his red eyes and lonely expression, it is not difficult to see how heavy an impact this name has on him.

Ye Qiu was a little at a loss for a moment. Although he learned from Emperor Zhenwu, he knew nothing about his past.

After that trance, Ye Qiu never returned to the Undersea Palace. It was as if he had completely disappeared from this world.

When he first went to the lower world, Ye Qiu stayed there for a long time and tried to find him and solve the many mysteries in his heart.

But for some reason, he seemed to be avoiding Ye Qiu intentionally. When Ye Qiu returned to the underwater fairy palace again, the restricted area had disappeared into the vast deep space.

"Oh God! Have you heard me howling countless times in suffering? God has mercy on me, and the old soldiers will be immortal..."

"After so many years, I dragged this broken body along, waiting on the road to the underworld, just to see my master again."

After listening to such heavy words, both of them were silent. At this moment, they finally realized why he was here.

He waited for countless days and nights, just to see that tall figure again, the belief he had followed all his life.

This is the only way to Huangquan, the only road leading to the Nine Netherworld. He has been waiting here for an unknown period of time.

Perhaps just as he said, veterans will be immortal!

This body that has been fighting for one person and one belief all his life finally received news that was worth looking forward to.

Maybe this is the best ending for him.

Ye Qiu didn’t know their story, nor did he know what they had been through. Ye Qiu didn’t know about all the times they had fought side by side together.

But from his eyes, Ye Qiu could see the loneliness left in them.

Zhenwu Emperor, a mysterious man! He represents an immortal legend.

It is precisely because of his personal charm that after so many years, there are still loyal followers in this world who are silently waiting for his return from the darkness.

Ye Qiu was silent! Perhaps in his lifetime, he might not have such loyal followers who would fight for his beliefs.

Will there be?

Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask himself, maybe there would be, and maybe not.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the bloody skull finally recovered from its grief, anger and excitement.

Dragging the broken body, he stared at the young man in front of him with focused eyes. At that moment, he seemed to see the spirited figure of those years.

"Haha... God has been kind to me, allowing me to hear news about my master again."

At this point, his eyes became a little dazed, and he looked at the yellow sand and the skeletons stranded in the desert. They were all his former comrades-in-arms.

They could not withstand the vicissitudes of time and were eventually buried here. Only he persevered with his faith.

Perhaps just as he said, God did not treat him unfairly. After waiting for countless days and nights, he finally received such news.

God was merciful and ultimately did not want to let this old soldier be buried here with regrets.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally calmed down, looked at Ye Qiu, and continued, "Child, can you tell me, is the master okay now?"

This was an extremely heavy question, and Ye Qiu didn't want to answer it because it was bound to cause him pain.

But he couldn't refuse to answer, because he had been waiting for eternity. If he didn't tell him, it meant that he would eventually leave this world with regrets.

This was something that was unacceptable to him.

Ye Qiu was hesitating, his hands were shaking a little. Mingyue noticed his abnormality and suddenly grabbed his hand and encouraged him with her eyes.

She is always such a silent person, and she will appear whenever Ye Qiu needs her.

But she never fought for anything, she just accompanied and encouraged Ye Qiu silently.

However, this kind of companionship is exactly what Ye Qiu needs.

Ye Qiu was very grateful. Looking at her pure eyes, he finally made up his mind.

"My master, he... was imprisoned in a forbidden cage, where the sky is dark and there is no light. He has spent eternity in torment and pain."

When Ye Qiu said this news, the veteran's emotions completely went out of control.

He cried, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back. No one could understand his feelings.

What's more, they can't understand the feelings they have after fighting side by side for so many years. It is a romance that belongs only to them.

As time goes by, the brothers who once fought side by side have all been buried in the yellow sand.

The man who led them to face the darkness was ultimately unable to escape from this forbidden cage.

This outcome was the most unacceptable to the veteran in front of him.

He cried! His crying was heartbreaking. No one could understand how heavy his heart was at that moment. Ye Qiu and Ming Yue could only watch silently.

The emotions at this moment seemed to resonate. On the other side of the underworld, a heavy rain began to fall, and a cry seemed to come from the sky.

Is the sky crying?

Mingyue looked forward to it, gazing at the yellow sand. She didn't understand what kind of emotion could make the world so tragic.

Looking back at the man in front of her, she couldn't help but ask herself, perhaps in the future, when she really faces a choice, will she unwaveringly choose to protect him.

She was silent. She was not a person who was good at expressing herself, and she kept many of her thoughts to herself.

The road to becoming an immortal is long and bleak. After experiencing so many regrets, her heart seems to have become sentimental.

Ye Qiu couldn't bear it, seeing this corrupt old soldier in front of him so sad.

He continued, "Back then, when my master taught me the Dao, he made a promise to me that when I grow up enough to face everything, that would be the time for him to return."

"This is a promise between us and him. I believe he will not break his promise. I have also been working hard to grow into a person he can recognize."

Hearing these words, the old soldier seemed to see a glimmer of hope out of despair.

The excitement at that moment could no longer be concealed. He rushed to Ye Qiu and wanted to grab him and interrogate him, but when he stretched out his hands, he found that his hands had already been buried in the yellow sand.

He didn't care, but just asked: "Is what you said true?"

Ye Qiu did not answer, but nodded, and silently started to practice the Taoism in his body. The blood seed method slowly operated, and a dazzling blood-red flower bloomed in Ye Qiu's palm.

"My master persevered in the darkness for eternity and finally realized this supreme path. I am the first practitioner and the first person to walk this path."

"I don't know what the end of this road will be, but I firmly believe that at the end of darkness, there must be a bright road."
