Mingyue frowned. It was undeniable that the old soldier did not lie.

Mingyue could feel that if she continued on this road, it would be a dead end with no way back.

She couldn't understand why the real phoenix had opened up a road to the underworld here.

What is the moral of this?

Does it represent the will to be reborn from the ashes?

One must risk his life in order to survive. The path of cultivating immortals cannot be turned back. Perhaps Senior Zhen Feng left this path behind just to let those who came later understand how difficult this path is.

Mingyue was silent. She fell into self-doubt for a while and kept asking herself questions in her heart.

Is this really the right path to go all the way to the end?

Looking at her solemn eyes, which were full of doubts about her life path, Ye Qiu couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

He comforted her with his eyes, as if to say that no matter how difficult the road was, he would silently accompany her all the way.

Seeing this look, Mingyue smiled! Her smile was so brilliant that it captivated the whole city.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior! May I ask how we can leave here..."

Mingyue bowed and bowed deeply, then asked.

This journey ends here.

Although it was thrilling, the rewards were also great. Calculating the time... they have already wasted more than half a year on this.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Bu Tian Competition will be held in a few months, and it is time for them to go back.

This competition is the most grand event of Butian Pavilion and they cannot miss it.

The old soldier looked at Mingyue with a smile, his heart full of satisfaction and full of expectations for the little girl in front of him.

She is excellent! The veteran was very satisfied to have her by Ye Qiu's side.

He couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future, he could only pray that they would always walk side by side. This was the veteran's last hope.

"hehe……"

With a relieved laugh, the old soldier said, "It's actually not that difficult to leave here. If you had noticed at the beginning, you would have found that there has always been a door behind you that leads to your departure. It's just that you never look back at it."

Hearing this, the two were startled and looked back stupidly. This was the first time they looked back.

Just as the veteran said, behind them, hidden in the yellow sand, there is a mysterious door.

Perhaps, there is the only passage to leave the other side of the underworld, hidden in the most inconspicuous place.

The veteran had no reason to lie to them, because with his strength, all he needed to do was to take Ye Qiu and Ming Yue's lives.

Don't ever doubt it, the difference between the Way of Sacrifice and the Way above it is as different as heaven and earth.

Even if there is only a small gap, it is an insurmountable chasm.

Therefore, the falsity of this statement is almost zero.

"Thank you, senior! We'll leave now. Take care, senior."

After hesitating for a while, Ye Qiu clasped his fists and decided not to stay here any longer.

This road is too dangerous, and no one can guarantee what kind of terrifying existence you will encounter as you go further down.

The sacrificial road is not the limit of this path. Ye Qiu has a premonition that there are even more terrifying things at the end of the road.

So, there is no point in going on. Sometimes, turning back does not mean failure, but there is another better choice.

"etc……"

Seeing Ye Qiu holding Mingyue's hand and preparing to leave, the old soldier suddenly stopped them.

The two turned back in confusion, only to hear the old soldier smiling and saying, "Two little guys, you've gone through so much hardship to get here, are you planning to leave empty-handed?"

"What do you mean, Senior?"

Ye Qiu was puzzled, and he just listened to the old soldier smiling and continuing: "In this world, there are only a handful of people who can come here, and there are even fewer who can walk out of here alive."

"The fact that you can come here means that this is destined by God's arrangement and destiny."

"Besides, there is still cause and effect between you and me. Doesn't this also prove the fate between you and me?"

Ye Qiu's expression was slightly surprised. He vaguely guessed what the old soldier meant, but he didn't quite dare to believe it.

"Haha...you don't have to be surprised, kid. You are the master's disciple, and you are my junior. If I really want to be particular, I have to call you Young Master."

"In the dark, God allowed us to meet. This is our fate. Your arrival has solved the knot in my heart that I have had for many years, and brought me news about my master."

"In terms of fate and love, I must repay this karma."

After saying that, the old soldier looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, then turned his hand, and a cloud of blood mist suddenly spread out.

Amidst the yellow sand, a Huangquan fruit tree growing on the Huangquan dam began to shake violently.

Suddenly... in the midst of the strong wind, a Yellow Spring Fruit fell from the tree and flew straight towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu reached out and grabbed it, feeling shocked and even puzzled.

The Yellow Springs Fruit Tree must have gone through countless disasters for tens of thousands of years before it could barely produce a fruit.

This old soldier has been waiting here for tens of thousands of years, and the main reason why he is still in a trance is because of the Yellow Spring Fruit. It is the Yellow Spring Fruit that gives him the strength to keep waiting.

Ye Qiu was shocked. At this moment, there was nothing on the fruit tree except for a few unripe fruits.

In other words, the old soldier gave him the fruit, which was equivalent to giving up himself.

"senior!"

At this moment, Ye Qiu was moved! He looked at the old soldier in disbelief, and saw a trace of relief and loneliness in his eyes.

"ah……"

After a long sigh, he said, "Child, don't worry about me! I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have long since become indifferent to worldly things."

"Before leaving, I can hear the news that my master is still alive, which is the greatest comfort."

"As for life and death, I have long since stayed out of it. Perhaps... I should pack up and go downstairs to reunite with my brothers."

The old soldier answered Ye Qiu in an extremely lonely tone. Losing the Yellow Spring Fruit also meant that he lost the opportunity to continue waiting for the Zhenwu Emperor.

Because it will take at least ten thousand years for the next fruit to ripen.

Seeing him with such a lonely expression, Ye Qiu couldn't let it go. He looked at the fruit in his hand and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He was very curious about what kind of men they were and what kind of ideals they insisted on.

That should be a particularly romantic and extremely heroic ideal.

To be honest, Ye Qiu didn't have much demand for the Yellow Spring Fruit. Judging from the quality of this fruit, it was not even half the quality of the one he already had.

If Ye Qiu deprives an old soldier of his years of obsession because of this fruit, this is bound to become a knot in his heart on the road of future cultivation.

"Ha ha……"

As he thought about it, Ye Qiu suddenly laughed.

It is said that heroes appreciate heroes. From the moment the old soldier chose to give this fruit to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu finally opened his heart and no longer had any vigilance.
