Chapter 158 This group of favors is inappropriate

Hu Zang, who had forced open the heavy mirror, trembled when he heard Ye Qing's words.

Ye Qing blatantly exposed the frank truth, and the terrifying answer hammered his heart.

Hu Zang looked at Shen Zhi, who kept coughing up blood, with affection, then slowly closed his eyes, his expression returning to indifference.

Ye Qing stood not far away, the heavy mirror was spinning at high speed in the air, emitting a dazzling light due to Hu Zang's overdraft.

A small vortex appeared under the heavy mirror. As the heavy mirror rotated, the vortex grew bigger and bigger, covering the ground and forcing the huge mouth of the abyss to be exposed, as if sucking people in.

Hu Zang looked at the time-space gap that he had successfully opened, curled his lips slightly, dragged his dying body to his feet, carefully picked up the little phoenix that was about to faint from excessive blood loss on the ground, and resolutely stepped into the Chongming Mirror.

"How stupid!" Ye Qing lowered his eyebrows and scolded Hu Zang angrily.

Ye Qing broke the barrier that Mo Li had constructed for them and turned around to go in before the Chongming Mirror closed.

Hundreds of years ago in Jiuyou, immortals and demons were in opposition.

Long time ago, Jixiao Sect had a disciple who fell into evil ways. He massacred half of Jixiao Sect in one night, causing great damage to Jixiao Sect.

Jixiao Sect had no choice but to spend hundreds of years to cultivate Mo Li, using him to fight against the increasingly powerful evil cultivators and to restore Jixiao Sect to its position as the number one immortal sect.

Ye Qing was almost born in the same era as Mo Li. The great demon who appeared out of nowhere sat firmly on the throne of the Lord of the Abyss Palace. His strength was on par with Mo Li's, but Ye Qing had never really thought of destroying Mo Li.

The immortals thought that Ye Qing was afraid of Mo Li, while the demons thought that Ye Qing had a bigger plan. In fact, Ye Qing was indeed waiting for a chance to resurrect his master.

The fallen disciple who initially rebelled against Jixiao Sect was his master.

Ye Qing got the chance from his master and was fortunate enough to transform into a human being, seize the throne of the Lord of the Demonic Path, and see through the unspeakable destiny flowing in Mo Li, that he was the true darling of Heaven.

If something happens to such a person, it is uncertain whether the entire Jiuyou will survive.

Ye Qing's master was killed by such a person. It was ridiculous that a genius of his generation was subject to the biased will of heaven and fell into the hands of a lowly, crude and weak person.

When Ye Qing entered the time and space that Hu Zang had gone back to, he found that it was the moment when he attacked Jixiaomen three hundred years ago.

Ye Qing looked into the distance at the demon army outside the Jixiao Sect, who were eyeing him covetously. "He" was standing in front of the demon army, asking the Jixiao Sect to hand over Mo Li.

At this time Ye Qing knew that Mo Li had to go through a life-and-death thunder tribulation. It was really touching that the Heaven used the thunder tribulation to temper his beloved child and give him the opportunity to ascend.

If this thunder tribulation specially created for Mo Li was shared by others, would the benefits obtained by Mo Li be transferred to others?

Ye Qing really wanted to know the answer, and he chose Mo Li's apprentice as a tool to reveal the answer.

But he didn't expect that a newborn phoenix would interfere.

Ye Qing came to the back mountain of Jixiaomen with ease. This was the place where Mo Li was undergoing the thunder tribulation. As expected, Hu Zang wanted to take on Mo Li's thunder tribulation himself and replace the little phoenix.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and lightning crackled across the sky, tearing out gullies across it.

Is he angry? Because a few shameless thieves broke in, but he couldn't find them or catch them, so the Heavenly Dao was angered.

Ye Qing raised his head and looked at the sky, then retracted his gaze after a while.

Ye Qing found Hu Zang with almost no effort.

Hu Zang held Shen Zhi in his arms, staring at Mo Li, who was on the top of the mountain preparing to face the thunder tribulation, with a serious expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zang spoke first, "Why did you want to keep Qi Chengjing?"

Hu Zang thought that Ye Qing hated Mo Li and would not keep Mo Li's disciples.

Moreover, at that time, the whole Nine Netherworld was full of rumors that Qi Chengjing was ambitious and treacherous and coveted his master. Hu Zang could not think of the reason why Ye Qing kept him, even though Qi Chengjing was just a fragment of his soul.

Perhaps because Hu Zang was about to die, Ye Qing did not hide the truth from him and said a few words from the heart, "My master also betrayed his master. His master was a scum who claimed to be from a famous family. At that time, the master who betrayed his master was also condemned by thousands of people. Seeing Qi Chengjing, I felt a little emotional."

It was just Ye Qing's momentary weakness. More importantly, his master's soul had collapsed into pieces, and Qi Chengjing's similar experience made Ye Qing suspect that Qi Chengjing had fragments of his master's soul.

A bolt of lightning struck Mo Li, as thick as a finger, drawing a streak of day in the night sky.

Hu Zang fell silent and stared at Mo Li, afraid that he would miss the opportunity.

A bolt of lightning struck, and faster came the second, third, and fourth... From the thickness of a finger, it grew to the thickness of several meters. The magic weapon on his body that was bearing the lightning was shattered into pieces, emitting burnt black smoke.

Mo Li's body was also in a horrible state, with mottled scars covering his entire body, and red blood oozing from his carbon-black shell.

Hu Zang is waiting, waiting for the last thunder tribulation.

Ye Qing was also waiting, waiting for Hu Zang to take on the last thunder tribulation. He wanted to use Shen Zhi to recall the fragments of his master's soul.

While accompanying his master through life, Ye Qing saw that his master was willing to fall into a deep sleep for a human man. He tried countless ways to find that man, but unfortunately he couldn't find him.

Until he found Shen Zhi, the newly born little phoenix had no memory, a different appearance but his soul was exactly the same as that man.

It turns out that Shen Zhi is also a person who has experienced the world. No wonder he couldn't find it.

Ye Qing turned sideways, just as Mo Li's last thunderbolt fell. A young bird rushed out from the sky and flew towards Mo Li with a mournful cry.

Hu Zang put down the dying Shen Zhi in his arms and stepped into the air decisively.

Ye Qing took over Shen Zhi, watched coldly as Hu Zang shot the bird away, and resolutely took the last thunder tribulation for Mo Li.

"I always feel that he looks like the master, but I haven't seen him for a long time, so I can't be sure." Ye Qing looked at Shen Zhi's closed face and said meaningfully, "But you will recognize that he is always willing to see you."

How could you be willing not to meet someone you can entrust your soul fragment to?

Ye Qing muttered something silently, and Shen Zhi's body in his arms shook uncontrollably until his consciousness fell into the abyss.

Shen Zhi opened his eyes with great effort, and felt his body floating lightly, without any sense of touch, as if he now existed only as a spirit.

Shen Zhi didn't understand what was going on, so he just wandered around in this vast white space like a headless fly.

"Is anyone there?" Shen Zhi walked forward along the path step by step. It was so quiet here that it seemed as if there was no one there.

But Shen Zhi inexplicably felt that there was someone here.

I don’t know how much time has passed, and Shen Zhi doesn’t know how long he has been walking.

Shen Zhi found a place to sit on the ground. Suddenly, a shadow fell on his head. A hoarse and deep male voice sounded: "Who are you?"

"I..." Shen Zhi wanted to answer, but his voice became hoarse.

He is Phoenix, the left protector of Mingyu Palace.

This is his identity, but Shen Zhi couldn't say it out loud, because he seemed to feel that he was not that person. He should be another person, with an identity that belonged to him completely.

"Can't you answer that?" the man asked him, not in a questioning tone, but as if he already knew the answer.

Shen Zhi looked up at him, feeling that he was looked down upon. His bright face was full of life, and he asked unhappily, "Who are you?"

The man sat next to Shen Zhi in a casual manner, tilted his head and smiled: "I am Yin Nan, a fallen demon lord."

Shen Zhi had never heard of the name Yin Nan, but when the man said these two words and they reached his ears, his heart ached heavily.

"Then... where is this?" Shen Zhi suppressed the discomfort in his heart and looked around at the pale surroundings.

Yin Nan followed Shen Zhi's gaze and looked at the empty and silent place. His voice was gentle but cherished: "I am guarding the place where I love."

Right here, in this deserted place, the vast expanse of emptiness makes one's heart palpitate.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips. He felt a little sad for some reason. His eyelashes were wet and his eyes were filled with water. "Is he dead?"

Yin Nan looked back at him seriously and shook his head: "No, he is very powerful. I am just waiting here for him to come to me."

Yin Nan's answer did not make Shen Zhi feel much better. He even felt hopeless for the man. How long would he have to wait? Would he wait indefinitely? What if he couldn't wait? What if that person didn't even know he was here?

Shen Zhi swallowed those doubts and looked at Yin Nan's calm and peaceful expression. He was at a loss for words.

At least the question he wanted to ask was not a problem at all in front of the man in front of him, otherwise Yin Nan would not be waiting here.

"But it looks so lonely here." There's no one here, nothing to entertain myself, and no time. I have to endure this oppressive loneliness all by myself.

Yin Nan smiled and didn't agree with Shen Zhi's words, "But it's worth it."

Shen Zhi didn't understand what Yin Nan meant by "worth it". He looked at the pure white space, feeling the suffocating feeling that covered the sky and the earth, and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Besides, I waited for him myself."

So it's worth it.

"What?" Shen Zhi didn't hear Yin Nan's words clearly and turned around to ask.

Yin Nan shook his head and just asked, "How did you get here?"

Shen Zhi didn't understand why he would let down his guard in front of a stranger, so he told Yin Nan about how Mo Li used the Chongming Mirror to sacrifice Hu Zang's life to change his own mortality.

Yin Nan didn't react much after hearing this, and he wasn't very interested in the intrigues between Mo Li and Hu Zang.

However, Yin Nan looked at the angry little phoenix, stretched out his tone, and teased: "So you are a baby bird."

Shen Zhi:……!!!

That's not the point at all, okay?

As for scheming against others, the Demon Lord Yin Nan, who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, is the ancestor.

Yin Nan suggested to the innocent little phoenix with a sinister heart: "How about I send you out and let the thunder strike you to death?"

Shen Zhi stared at him with wide eyes, not because Yin Nan bluntly asked him to die, but because Yin Nan continued, "Then I will take you back and wait for my wife with me here."

"Are you sick?!" Shen Zhi squeezed out these words from between his teeth in shock, saying in disbelief.

Yin Nan looked at Shen Zhi's extremely surprised expression and couldn't help laughing, "He often scolds me like this too."

Inexplicably friendly.

Yin Nan naturally would not let Shen Zhi die. Shen Zhi had already gotten what he wanted in this world. There was no point in staying any longer. It would be better for him to go directly to the next reincarnation.

Yin Nan’s idea was very good, but he overlooked that there were still fragments of his soul in this world.

His soul fragment didn't want Shen Zhi to leave like this.

Shen Zhi promised Yin Nan: "You can kill me with the thunder, but don't bring me here."

Yin Nan raised his eyebrows and agreed to Shen Zhi's request.

As for his wife, he is not in a hurry to see her a second time after the first time.

Yin Nan used his spiritual power to tear a hole in the pure white space. The dark hole respectfully saw his master off.

Shen Zhi walked to the cave entrance, turned his head and warned worriedly: "If you get me over here, I'll beat you!"

Yin Nan couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and repeatedly assured: "No, I'll be obedient."

The little phoenix turned around awkwardly and looked at Yin Nan hesitantly for the last night. Somehow he was always a little worried about this stranger he had never met before. "If you are really, really, really lonely, you can bring me over for a while."

Shen Zhi added many adjectives cautiously, hoping that Yin Nan would not do whatever he wanted.

Yin Nan was deeply moved when listening to Shen Zhi's words. His daughter-in-law was so well-behaved when she was little. She had a tough mouth but a soft heart, and her words were so sweet that people wanted to kiss her.

Yin Nan was not polite either. There was no need to be shy about his own wife.

Yin Nan stepped forward and pecked Shen Zhiwen's soft lips. In the face of the little phoenix's shocked and embarrassed expression, he gently pushed the person out and waved his hand gracefully, saying, "Little baby Que'er, remember to come back and pick me up early."
