Xuan Shuzhi stared at Fang Wei's back. At this time, the tentacles of the monster in Huoyuan had already extended towards this direction. The whole Huoyuan looked like hell. However, because there was still a seal in place, the monster could not break free from its restraints and attack the people in the air.
But everyone can see that this scene will not last long. Just as Fang Wei said, the gate to the spiritual realm has been opened under the ground of the Abyss. If the monster returns to the spiritual realm through the fully opened gate, then everyone will have no way to stop it. In the future, it may cause chaos in the spiritual realm, or return to the Xuanqing Continent, but without the suppression of the seal of the Abyss, no one can deal with it, not even Fang Wei.
So now they have no other choice.
Xuan Shuzhi knew all these. No one was calmer and clearer than him at this time. He had always been the most rational one and never seemed to be emotional. So a thousand years ago, when Fang Wei was plotted and fell into the abyss, he asked Xuan Shuzhi to take everyone away and escape from the evil ways to survive. Even though he was blamed by Yi Zhan for a thousand years and treated coldly by Lu Yao, Bai Heng and others, he never explained himself.
He knows what is the best choice and will not do the wrong thing.
But now he did not listen to Fang Wei and turn around immediately. He had forced himself to calm down too many times, and this time he wanted to change the outcome.
"Evil Master, if someone really wants to fight that monster to the death, I can do it."
After Xuan Shuzhi said this, the crowd was silent for a moment. Yi Zhan was almost stunned and immediately shouted, "No, let me do it!"
Before Yi Zhan could get close to Xuan Shuzhi and Fang Wei, Hua Shi stopped Yi Zhan and said with red eyes: "I can do it too. Didn't you say that I am the son of luck? I have such good luck that nothing will happen to me. Let me go for you."
When he said this, he looked straight at Fang Wei, as if he wanted to engrave his back into his heart.
Fang Wei turned around to look at everyone, shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no other choice."
The cultivation of the crowd was not strong enough to suppress the power of the monster Huoyuan. Even if they could, Fang Wei would only agree to let them replace him.
He looked at the forbearing faces in front of him, his heart moved slightly, but he still said helplessly and amusedly: "Why are you so nervous? I never said I would die."
Hua Shiben was about to try to get closer to Fang Wei and stop him, but he stopped when he heard this.
Others also had their own reactions, but Xuan Shuzhi clearly did not believe what Fang Wei said. He still refused to give in and said, "No, even if it is really as you said, you must pay a corresponding price."
Fang Wei said: "If I let you guys take my place, will I feel at ease? What about you guys?"
He had just said that no one could handle the current situation except himself, and if someone wanted to replace him, at least three people would have to work together. They could decide to sacrifice themselves to replace Fang Wei, but they couldn't make decisions for others. Everyone wanted to exchange themselves for Fang Wei at this time, but they couldn't let others die with them.
Fang Wei's words silenced the others, and he spoke again in the dead silence: "I said I will not die."
Hua Shi said quickly: "You will come back, right?"
Fang Wei's eyes fell on Hua Shi, with a gentle smile in her eyes: "Yes."
Hua Shi clenched his fist and asked persistently: "When?"
Fang Wei knew that her deception would be exposed, so she did not hide anything and replied softly, "It may take ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, but I will come back to see you."
Everyone had different looks when hearing these words. Lu Yao frowned and wanted to speak, but Xuan Shuzhi raised his hand to stop him. Lu Yao said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Xuan Shuzhi closed his eyes as if accepting his fate and said, "The decision of the evil master is right."
Even if it takes thousands or hundreds of years, if Fang Wei is asked to deal with the sealed monster, he has a great chance of surviving. Even if it will cost some price, or it will take thousands or hundreds of years to come back, he can still keep his life. But if it is someone else, they will only sacrifice more lives. Even if Xuan Shuzhi is unwilling to believe it, he can only admit that this is the best decision.
He opened his eyes again, and all the unnecessary emotions in his eyes had disappeared. He seemed to have turned back into the calm and indifferent Xuanling Pavilion Master he once was. He said to everyone, "There is no time to waste. Follow me and leave here."
"What are you talking about!" As the current Spirit Master, Ji Yuan was not on the same side as this group of people. He had no intention of listening to Xuan Shuzhi's words. He only wanted to stop Fang Wei. However, Xuan Shuzhi was ruthless. Ji Yuan was panicked and caught off guard, but he had just taken two steps when Xuan Shuzhi attacked him on the back of the neck and he fell straight down.
Everyone was silent as they watched Xuan Shuzhi hand the fallen Ji Yuan over to Yi Zhan. However, at this time they all understood Fang Wei's meaning.
Everyone looked at Fang Wei silently, and Fang Wei also swept his gaze over everyone one by one. These people were the closest people to him in this Xuanqing Continent. Some of them had red eyes and were crying, some had tight faces and did not want to reveal the slightest sadness, and some were clenching their fists and their bodies were shaking slightly.
Fang Wei didn't ask for anything, but he thought that if this was the end of his life, it was enough.
He was about to turn around and fight the giant beast that had been fighting him for a thousand years in the abyss, but Hua Shi suddenly stepped forward and said behind him: "Liu... Fang Wei!"
Fang Wei turned around and responded, "Hmm?"
Hua Shi felt as if something was pressing on his chest. All his emotions were in a mess. He didn't know whether the pain or despair was taking over.
He was no longer the optimistic and naive young master. He knew that things would not be as simple as Fang Wei said. He was not used to seeing life and death, and he refused to experience such separation. He choked up and said, "Fang Wei, is that your real name?"
Fang Wei nodded gently and said, "Yes."
Perhaps because they were about to part, Fang Wei was particularly gentle today, and even her voice was always soft and gentle when she spoke.
Hua Shi repeated the name "Fang Wei" many times in his mind. He had heard countless stories about the evil lord Fang Wei since he first arrived in this Xuanqing Continent. Only today did he realize that the stories he had heard were the past he wanted to know.
Now he was flying his sword towards Fang Wei. Seeing Xuan Shuzhi standing beside him, ready to knock him out like he did to Ji Yuan before, Hua Shi said, "I will leave. I just want to say a few words to him one last time. Is that okay?"
Xuan Shuzhi didn't say anything, and Hua Shi knew that this meant he agreed to his request.
He slowly approached Fang Wei. Ever since Liu Qishuang's consciousness disappeared from his soul and he learned from Xuan Shuzhi that he could save her, Hua Shi had always been looking forward to reuniting with Liu Qishuang. Every day when he practiced, he thought about the scene of their reunion and what he should say in such a scene. However, he never imagined that their reunion would actually be separation.
The giant beast below was making a lot of noise, and it would be difficult to control it if we didn't take action quickly. However, Fang Wei looked at the young man who was approaching him cautiously, and still chose to wait.
He waited for Hua Shi to come closer to him, then asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi lowered his head, not knowing whether he was thinking about something. It was obvious that he insisted on getting closer, but after this man came over, he stopped talking.
Fang Wei was about to ask again, but Hua Shi suddenly pounced on him, lying on top of Fang Wei, and bit his lips like some savage little animal.
Hua Shi kissed him. This kiss was extremely immature and without any rules, even clumsy, just trying hard to find some kind of desire in him, blindly seeking comfort.
There was a surprised gasp from someone behind, or maybe some other sound, and Fang Wei was a little confused about it. He had never expected that something like this would happen suddenly. If it were usual, he would have instinctively raised his hands to widen the distance between them. However, at this moment, his palms fell on Hua Shi's chest, and he seemed to sense the rhythm of the beating of the hot heart in his chest.
His heart softened instantly, but he did not push away this sincere heart.
It was unknown how much time had passed, or perhaps it was only a short moment. The two slowly separated. Hua Shi let go of Fang Wei with a slightly disordered breath and raised his head again. Fang Wei then noticed that his cheeks were already soaked with tears.
"Didn't you say that I have the best luck in the entire Xuanqing Continent? I can accompany you..."
Fang Wei shook his head gently and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Hua Shi's eyes: "No matter how strong your luck is, you can't replace me, let alone accompany me." He was already prepared. If Hua Shi still wanted to stay, he would knock him out just like Xuan Shuzhi did to Ji Yuan and let others take him away.
But Hua Shi didn't. He seemed to understand Fang Wei's plan and didn't force him to stay. He just insisted: "I will share my luck with you. My luck is so good that I can always escape danger. You can do it too."
Fang smiled and replied, "Of course."
Luck is not something that can be shared with others just by talking about it, but Fang Wei did not say it out loud, just responded to his words in a low voice.
Hua Shi didn't know whether he believed Fang Wei's words or not. He continued with a firm look in his eyes and a trembling voice: "You said you would come back, I will always wait for you, for a hundred years, a thousand years, even ten thousand years, I will wait."
He had never hated his weakness so much. He had experienced this twice. He had no way to change anything, and he had no way to resist their arrangements. In front of others, he was always a junior, and he always needed to rely on others for protection. He never wanted to experience the same thing again, didn't want to feel his incompetence again, and didn't want to recall his current mood again.
In the future, he will definitely protect his sweetheart. No matter what difficulties he faces or what happens, he will never let Fang Wei get hurt again.
He didn't say these words out loud, they were all in his heart. He didn't need to make promises to anyone, he just needed to engrave them on his own.
After a long time, Hua Shicai let go of Fang Wei.
Xuan Shuzhi stepped forward at the right time and pulled Hua Shi away. Hua Shi turned around and engraved Fang Wei's back in his memory.
Fang Wei finally said his final goodbye to everyone, turned around and fell from the air, his figure cast into the abyss filled with pitch-black snake shadows and deep red blood mist.
Hua Shi stood on the top of the cloud, stretching out his hand in vain to catch the other party's shadow, but the figure quickly disappeared in the blood mist, followed by a clear chant that resounded through the sky. From the depths of the dark cave of Huoyuan, a white dragon shadow suddenly circled out, carrying wild thunder and confronting the giant beast. In an instant, dusk appeared and the sky and the earth suddenly changed color.
