Chapter 80 Looking for her, is it heartless?
"Replying to the Lord... we haven't found it—"
The monster kneeling below was burned to ashes by the black air before he could finish his words.
All the monsters below the stage prostrated themselves on the ground, shaking like sieves, not daring to utter another word.
Wei Yuan sat high on the stage, his whole body wrapped in a wide robe, and he was surrounded by black air, making it impossible to see his expression.
The bug looked down and said coldly: "What about you?"
The monsters dared not show their heads or make any sound again. They all tried to shrink their heads, trying to squeeze themselves into the cracks in the rocks.
This dead silence lasted only a moment, and before Chongzi could utter his second sentence, there was a sudden bang, and the monster's body exploded like a fruit into a ball of black mist.
Looking back, the person on the high seat had disappeared without a trace.
Chongzi recalled the scene a month ago.
He was waiting to be summoned on another nameless island two hundred miles away. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, strong winds blew, and heavy rain poured down. Suddenly, a loud muffled sound was heard from the bottom of the sea. The whole earth trembled a few times, and then the sea was dead silent. Millions of dead fish floated to the surface, their bellies turned white.
He felt something was wrong, so he sneaked towards the island where Zuo Yuan was. Before he got close, his whole body exploded. Fortunately, he had eaten a lot of monsters before, so his foundation was solid. Even so, he spent half a month in the sea and still couldn't gather his body together.
He didn't dare to go forward again, and a few days later, Hou Yuan summoned him again.
He could never forget the feeling of seeing the Lord God again.
He could not see, and felt that the overwhelming murderous energy was about to crush his body that he had just gathered. Under the pressure of God, he felt as if he was suffocating under a heavy mountain. The air around him was filled with the smell of blood, and even the sand under his feet became sticky because it was soaked with blood.
He heard the Lord God speak, his voice extremely hoarse, and it seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength in just two words:
"Go, search."

The Taigu Mountains are the highest mountain range in the world. The top of the mountain is extremely cold and the air is extremely thin. Even if a Mahayana cultivator practices hard here, he can only stay here for more than a month at most.
And now, Wei Yuan didn't know how long he had been sitting in the snow on the top of the mountain.
He could hear all the sounds in the world, but he could not hear her.
He could extend his spiritual sense thousands of miles away, but still could not detect any trace of her.
We had spent the entire night together, telling each other countless times that we loved and liked each other. But how could we pull away so freely and cleanly after the joy was over?
Is she heartless?
Which of her words was true? Did she ever have any true feelings for him?
Was the passion and tenderness of that time completely fake, and was the pleasure and entanglement under me all forced?
Are the reluctance and expectations in the letter all lies?
What is "It is because of you that I love this world."
What "I want to live in this world with you forever."
What "I don't want to leave you, I can't bear to leave you."
What "I love you, I love you so much..."
What else... I want to marry him...
But even these hypocrisies are his only, remaining reason to survive.
Even if the so-called future mentioned in her letter was so illusory, he really didn't dare to let this world burn down even a little bit.
That was the only sweetness he could touch, and he really couldn't lose it again.
But there are always real things, those tenderness, those kisses, those warmth and whispers.
Her alluring moans, obedient responses, trembling tenderness, and the cries and joy that followed, the soft and crushed words still linger in my ears, and the touch of ultimate joy is still engraved in my heart.
The contrast between the scenes and the extremely cold and gloomy world now was so great that it almost tore him apart.
He had forgotten how he got off the island.
The moment he noticed the stars leaving, a string of thoughts broke in his mind.
Unable to detect with his spiritual sense, he wanted to get up and chase after her, but before he could do so, he saw the image stones light up one after another, which stopped him in his tracks.
There was the woman's fear of the dream, her guilt towards the two monks, her reluctance to leave him, and the general reason for her departure, saying that she had to complete something. The last image only left two simple words:
wait for me.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that he was already incomplete.
That heartless person had kidnapped his soul, and now all that was sitting here was just an empty, rotten shell.
The snow beneath him was completely dyed red with blood, but he seemed unaware of it, and looked at the photo stones and the words she left behind over and over again, almost crazy.
But it was so cold here, so cold that the image on the photo stone began to flicker.
He immediately became panicked and hugged the photo stones in his arms, but he still couldn't block the bone-chilling coldness around him.
He was probably stupid, or maybe crazy. The world seemed to him to be cold and gloomy. Without her, where could there be warmth? Suddenly, the words Xingxing said when they were making love flashed through his mind:
"You're so hot..."
Then his body can at least protect these stones.
The black air wrapped around the stones scattered on the ground and fused them together, then shrunk into a black ball the size of a fist.
His finger bones, which were full of broken flesh, grew black nails again. They reached into his black clothes and touched his abdomen. With just a light scratch, blood flowed out.
Just like that, like a machine, he stuffed the black ball along the wound and deep into his stomach.
There was no pain at all, and after it was done, I strangely felt a long-lost sense of joy.
Blood was flowing like a stream, and Wei Yuan carefully used magic to protect the black robe outside him, not wanting it to be stained with a trace of blood.
It’s because there is a breath of stars on this black robe.
He was like a collector. He let Xingxing wear his clothes every day. After Xingxing fell asleep, he would put them away and bring new clothes the next day.
But now, in this world where there is no trace of the stars, he can only wear this black clothes to avoid losing his mind completely. Even if he touches this black silk satin lightly, he can know exactly which day the stars wore it.
Also, what did the two of them do that day?
Those feelings that were real before are now as fleeting as a dream.
Sweet but stinging.
The blood was still flowing slowly. Even if it dried up, she would not die because new blood would be produced. He ignored it and was only immersed in how he bullied Xingxing when she was wearing this black dress and what irritating words she said.
But he was only in a daze for a moment, and his blood spread out, soaking the letter paper that fell beside him.
It was only slightly stained and did not affect the font, but when Yuan saw it, his heart was broken. He hurriedly picked it up, but his fingertips were no longer fixed by flesh, and the strong wind from the top of the mountain blew, and the letter was about to fly into the sky.
He almost stumbled to his feet and retrieved the letter.
He held it in his hand and stared at it motionlessly for several days. Finally, during the monthly monster report, he was carefully awakened by the insect that had just reached the top of the mountain and was standing behind him.
The bug said only one sentence and then left without bothering him anymore.
He sat for a moment, then, as usual, he opened the old wound on his heart again. His hot heart was beating steadily inside his sternum. His sharp fingertips pierced through the sternum and the outer wall of his heart, and carefully put the letter in.

Xu Xingxing lived in hiding in a seaside town for more than a month, just because she was afraid that if Wei Yuan did something irreparable, she would still be able to stop him.
Except for the few days after she left, the weather changed suddenly for a few days, and many fish and shrimps in the sea died, and there were no more left.
However, the monsters hidden in various places gradually emerged and wandered around as if they had received orders.
Although there were casualties wherever they passed, the situation was much less severe than before.
A wave of monsters had come here before, about five or six of them. The night they arrived, they turned the small town upside down, as if they were looking for something. When they found nothing, they left. The only person who was injured was the old man who accidentally sprained his ankle while escaping.
Xu Xingxing felt somewhat relieved, but also more melancholy.
Her letter was full of emotion and imagination, except for her reluctance.
For example, I want to see all the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in the world with him and experience the various customs of the world. I heard that the snacks in a certain place are delicious and I want to go and try them with him.
For example, if she wants to marry him, it would be best to broadcast it on a sky screen so that the whole world knows that she is his and he is hers.
The Demon Bride, how magnificent.
For example, she likes this bustling world because she met him in this world and she wants to continue living with him in this world.
Always and always.
Every word she said was from the heart, but she also deliberately added some little tricks.
And Wei Yuan really understood her clever ideas, restrained his hostility, and never stretched out his claws to this mortal world again.
She used the abilities granted by the Book of Beasts to change her appearance, voice, breath, and even gender, becoming a very inconspicuous person.
After doing all this, the Book of Beasts entered a dormant state as before.
During this time, she carefully delivered Xiaoran's medicine back and left quickly before Weiyuan moved.
When she left, she placed a tiny positioning device the size of a grain of sand in Yuyuan's bell.
It was given by the Book of Beasts, and it is said that it is difficult for the demon to detect it.
Hou Yuan also came out, but he stayed more often in the Taigu Mountains.
Perhaps Xu Yi was completely disappointed in her, Kunlun gave up looking for her, and she also planned not to return to Kunlun. Xiao Hei had already died in front of the world. If she returned to Kunlun, it would be extremely easy for her to be exposed if Hou Yuan came to find her.
So, in the following days, she became a casual cultivator and gave herself the nickname, Bai Mo.
She mostly wandered around the country, earning money by exorcising demons for others. From time to time, she also went to Mucheng to help look after Cheng Xue and Fang Qi's family, and took Fang Qi's younger brother Fang Shi as her apprentice.
He's a kid of twelve or thirteen.
Fang Qi's mother said that this guy was so capable of poking a hole in the sky that he wasn't afraid of anything and was always causing trouble. His father was so worried that his hair turned gray. Only Fang Qi could control him.
He had previously claimed that he wanted to cultivate immortality like his brother, and even threatened to walk to Kunlun on foot to show his sincerity in joining the sect.
But ever since Fang Qi's death, he had changed overnight.
He spoke less and became more stable. He helped his father run the store and deliver goods, and never mentioned cultivating immortality again.
Xu Xingxing had no intention of accepting disciples, but the number of monsters in Mucheng was increasing.
Probably because Wei Yuan thought she might appear here, there were monsters moving around here every day, and the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, so these monsters became unruly.
When Xu Xingxing and other independent cultivators from Liangzhou were retaking the city, they happened to rescue Fang Shi who was involved in a dispute due to delivering goods.
The two became familiar with each other.
Later, once again, monsters came to the city in the name of searching and smashed things. Xu Xingxing protected his family's shop - in fact, all the shops on the street.
Fang Shi happened to be on duty that night.
Since then he has been quietly pestering her.
She did not dare to stay in Mucheng for long, but when she went to Mucheng again half a year later, Fang Shi brought the apprenticeship gift and knelt down in front of her in the street.
She couldn't refuse, so she agreed.
During this year or so, she didn't even dare to use ice magic and could only learn some scattered techniques that were not basic. It was Xu Xing'er's talent that allowed her to learn it quite well.
Fang Shi was quite talented. Although she taught him in a scattered manner and he would disappear from time to time, these makeshift moves could actually double his offensive power in his hands.
The days passed slowly. Apart from the longing for that person that accumulated exponentially and the slow progress of the spirit beast mission, everything else was quite satisfying.
Just when she was struggling with the lack of progress in her spirit beast development over the past year, she met an acquaintance.
Gu Nuo.
At the same time, the Book of Beasts finally rang after a long absence.
