"Come on, we'll get beaten up again next time we encounter the Witch Clan anyway, so it won't make a difference if we do it again."
Chu Hongluan led the two back into the crowd and then called out to Chunxiao.
"Chunxiao, you should get him treated quickly. He keeps showing up in front of me with that pig-headed face, it makes me want to vomit."
"Coming right away."
Chunxiao walked over with a light smile, followed closely by Song Nanhe.
Seeing the two of them getting along so well, Chu Hongluan was very pleased.
Although Song Nanhe is not as sharp and outspoken as Mo Yu, he is better at loving his wife, is thoughtful, has a sweet tongue and knows how to coax people. He is much better than that heartless Mo Yu!
As her thoughts turned to Mo Yu, Chu Hongluan subconsciously searched for his figure in the crowd.
Mo Yu was not among the crowd. He was alone, away from the noise, with his sword in his arms, leaning against an old tree, his cold gaze fixed on Gu Chunxiao.
Um?
Chu Hongluan keenly sensed that Mo Yu's aura seemed to have changed considerably; if she had to describe it...
In the past, Mo Yu was aloof and arrogant, mature beyond his years, but his heavy thoughts always made him seem dull, like a sword covered in dust.
The current Moyu Island seems even colder, closer to indifference than mere desolation—an indifference born of weathering countless changes and viewing all living beings as mere mayflies.
Years later, Mo Yu, who was known as the Sword Immortal, was more gloomy than the lofty and noble Sword Immortal.
Mo Yu seemed to sense something and looked back, meeting Chu Hongluan's gaze.
Chu Hongluan still managed to catch that fleeting hint of resentment.
oh?
He resented her. Why?
Chu Hongluan glanced at Chunxiao and the other person with a half-smile before looking at him again.
Did she change the course of the story, causing him to "lose both his wife and his army"?
Chu Hongluan already had the answer in her heart.
This is not the sword immortal Mo Yu from many years later, but Mo Yu who, for some reason, had a great dream and thought he was supposed to become a sword immortal.
No wonder there's so much resentment.
Chu Hongluan took out the two bottles of spiritual dew given to her by Xuanfeng from her spatial bracelet, and deliberately weighed them in her hand so that he could see them.
Mo Yu's expression changed drastically, and his aura seemed to drop several degrees.
Chu Hongluan snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at him, and then ignored him.
"What's wrong?"
"Mo Yu seems to have gained some memories; we should be wary of him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Mo Yu, then snorted and turned her face away, her demeanor mirroring that of Chu Hongluan.
Chu Hongluan carefully put the spirit dew away again. Seeing him like this, she nudged him with her elbow and said, "Don't imitate me."
"profound."
She showed Mo Yu these two bottles of spiritual dew only to verify her conjecture.
Mo Yu's reaction has already explained everything.
If he possessed memories of his "past life," he would definitely recognize that these two small bottles of spiritual dew, though filled with the essence of the sun and moon and imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, propelled him directly from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the mid-stage of the Tribulation realm.
However, due to Chu Hongluan's forceful intervention, various butterfly effects arose one after another, and the original plot and timeline in the book had long since become chaotic.
For example, the book doesn't describe the conspiracy of the Beast Taming Sect, but it does describe how, when the Heavenly Demon unleashed the cataclysm, a legion of demonic beasts was invincible, and one of the demonic phoenixes was particularly violent and tyrannical!
The book only states that after Mo Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he wanted to find a secret realm to train and consolidate his realm, so he chose the Wilderness, which had the highest danger level.
While researching materials related to the wilderness, he unexpectedly came across a love story between a black phoenix and a phoenix in an unofficial historical record.
The story says that Xuanfeng searched all the fairy mountains and blessed lands to please the phoenix.
Take the first peach blossom that blooms when the spring breeze blows, the most vibrant lotus that blooms when the summer sun is at its zenith, the chrysanthemum with the straightest stem when the autumn leaves fall, and the last plum blossom when the winter wind subsides. Mix them with the first drop of morning dew at sunrise every day of the 365 days of the four seasons, and brew three bottles of spiritual dew, which are given to the phoenix to drink as fruit wine.
The phoenix was delighted, so that night it drank with the black phoenix, drinking one bottle and carefully keeping the remaining two bottles.
So Mo Yu made up his mind that when he went to the wilderness for training, he would also take the opportunity to visit the Phoenix Clan's territory and see if he could try his luck.
Later, he was sent to the wilderness by the sect elders. At first, everything went smoothly until he encountered a saber-toothed tiger in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. During the fight with it, he fell off a cliff.
This fall landed them in the territory of the phoenix.
However, he did not see the phoenix or the phoenix egg. He only saw a cave that had been blown into ruins and a black phoenix guarding the coffin, covered in dust and almost turning into a stone statue.
When Mo Yu approached, Xuan Feng did not move, only her cloudy eyes shifted towards him for a moment before returning to their original position.
He politely explained his purpose, but Xuanfeng ignored him.
So Mo Yu took out an ice bead that could preserve a corpse from decay and placed it next to Xuan Feng, unilaterally and presumptuously making a "deal" with Xuan Feng.
After that, he started searching around as if no one else was there, and eventually, he actually found the two bottles of spiritual dew under a pile of rocks.
He took Linglu with him.
Xuanfeng ignored him.
Many readers have praised Moyu for his principles.
But thinking about it carefully, the Xuanfeng was covered in dust, and the phoenix had been dead for at least a year or two. If it were going to rot, it would have rotted long ago. If it hadn't rotted, it meant that the Xuanfeng had already used some kind of magic artifact to preserve the phoenix's body, and there was no need for Moyu to pretend to be kind.
However, at that time, Xuanfeng was only focused on dying and couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
In the story, when Mo Yu was about to leave, he discovered that someone was following him, so he took precautions and deliberately waited outside the Phoenix Clan's territory. However, the person following him was also very cautious and did not come out until half a day later.
Mo Yu drew his sword to attack, only to discover that the person who had been following him was Liu Jinghong.
You don't know until you fight, and once you do, you're shocked. Liu Jinghong has already repaired his spiritual mansion and has now reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Mo Yu suspected that Liu Jinghong wanted to seize the spiritual dew from him and reap the benefits, so he became furious and fought more fiercely. Liu Jinghong was caught off guard and exposed his whereabouts, so he became distracted and made mistakes one after another. In his desperation, he even revealed a trace of demonic energy!
Mo Yu then realized that Liu Jinghong's inner demons had become incurable and that she was at risk of falling into demonic possession at any moment. He immediately decided to act on behalf of Heaven.
Knowing he was no match for her, Liu Jinghong fought and fled, while Mo Yu pursued her relentlessly, fighting her all the way to the outside of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
After a bloody battle, Liu Jinghong was sent flying by Mo Yu's palm strike and fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
Seeing that his nemesis was dead, Mo Yu found a secluded place in the wilderness, drank two bottles of spiritual dew, and broke through the tribulation in one fell swoop, reaching the mid-stage of the tribulation.
Using their own strength, they tore open space and escaped the desolate secret realm.
A hundred years later, the Heavenly Demon suddenly appeared.
