, the deep ravines in his past cultivation, were all gradually being filled, although the Soul-Devouring still flare up but it could be completely suppressed. He was also quite confident of his own skills.But…
Just now…
His face had turned quite solemn.
Then, as if he had finally discovered, in the entire process, what he had a.s.sumed the constant flow of blood energy was emanating from the Soul-Devouring, after it was suppressed, it was still surging, without the slightest reduced.
That energy, was actually from the mountain.
Unceasingly.
Ghost Li quietly hovered, his expression complicated.
This feeling, he once had it. As if there was somebody, with formidable strength, emptied the mountain and filled it with blood.
This, was it related to that four spiritual beasts?
Inside the Majestic Fox Mountain, what had exactly change?
The Soul-Devouring lit up, at the instant when his body leapt up with impatience, Ghost Li was taken aback.
He heard a sigh.
That familiar sigh, just like in his dream the day before!
He turned around out of
of habit, towards the source of that sound.
In the forest, there seemed to be a green figure flashed past.
Qing Yun Hill.
Return of the Wind Valley.
Among the seven branches of Qing Yun, Return of the Wind was naturally not as towering as TongTian Peak, as lofty as Long Shou Valley, as sombre as Small Bamboo Valley. But being cla.s.sified among the seven branches, it was not without merit. In the forest, there was almost no human traces, the small path in the forest, either wide or narrow, indistinct and distinct, it was as if it had merged with the mountains and rivers.
The lonely moon, the stars desolate.
The light penetrating through the spa.r.s.e leaves, leaving mottled spots on the ground. Occasionally wind pa.s.sed by, the spots on the ground shifted.
The small path behind the mountain.
Taoist Cangsong with Jin Pinger, were already before the forest.
Both of them were about to step in, Jin Pinger suddenly said, “Priest, wait a moment.”
Taoist Cangsong with a solemn face turned around and asked, “What.”
Jin Pinger smiled, said, “Pinger is dull-witted, there are some things that I don’t understand, will like to consult Priest.”
Her eyes, as if it could speak volumes, lit up. In a night like this, an intoxicated fragrance permeated.
Taoist Cangsong yet ignored it, indifferently said, “Jin fairy please speak.”
Jin Pinger stepped forward, said, “Just now at Long Shou Valley, disciple did not observe ancestor instructions, Priest’s complexion also did not look good, this is correct right.”
Taoist Cangsong coldly snorted but did not counter.
Jin Pinger lightly walked into the forest, slowly said, “Long Shou Valley...Sunset Valley...Morning Sun Valley...now, we only left this heaven seal right.”
Taoist Cangsong nodded, his expression solemn, did not speak.
Jin Pinger turned over, smiled sweetly, “Just now at Sunset Valley, Morning Sun Valley, although there wasn’t any sentry guards and we could proceed, Priest’s expression instead eased up, right?”
Taoist Cangsong coldly said, “What are you trying to say?”
Jin Pinger paused for a while, said, “Pinger just wanted to know, now that there are n.o.body here, Priest’s expression, why did it turn sombre again?”
Taoist Cangsong frowned, didn’t expect her to be so observant, coldly said, “What Jin fairy wanted to know, only need to step into the forest.”
The forest seemed to have a mist, the small path indistinct, the surrounding harmonious.
Jin Pinger was silent, slowly withdrew her right hand into her sleeve. Facing sideways towards Taoist Cangsong, walked step by step into the forest.
The mountain breeze blew through the forest, there seemed be a faint distinct sound of sigh.
Jin Pinger carefully walked in the forest but did not discover anything
discover anything unusual. Slightly relieved, she turned, smiled and said, “Priest, can you say now?”
Before she could finish her smile, it was frozen on her face.
Where she had turned to look, was where she had just stood, but for some reason, it had became obscure, as if shrouded by a thin fog.
Slightly forbidding, she knew something was not right, stretched her hand out and tried to push the fog away from her eyes.
Where she had touched, were empty, there was nothing unusual.
But then, that fog still lingered quietly, it looked so real but at the same time, it seemed not to be there, instead it seemed to be in her eyes, in her heart!
Carefully, step by step, she walked back where she had came from.
The exit was already before her, she slowly stepped out.
There was nothing unusual.
Jin Pinger calmed down, indistinctly felt somehow disappointed.
After all, this was only a fog!
Turning around, with some bewilderment, asked, “Priest?”
Taoist Cangsong instead was solemn, did not speak.
Jin Pinger frowning slightly, still bewildered, and suspiciously looked around.
Return of the Wind Valley, before the dense forest.
All of the scenery, reflected in her eyes.
This stretch of sky and earth, was also too, like in the forest, hazy, looking surreal.
While she was still in shock, her body felt a chill, a breeze had blew from somewhere, brushing past her.
That gust of wind, lightly flowed past, without carrying any dust.
Then, circling around, it blew back again.
Jin Pinger’s countenance changed.
That small gust of wind, just then, clearly brushed past Taoist Cangsong. His robes yet did not flutter.
Not the slightest.
At that time, that small gust, suddenly, without any sign, turned bigger. Howling, about to blow this frail lady off.
But still there was no dust.
The surrounding sky and earth, as usual, obscured, in that unparalleled wind, did not sway.
The raging wind, once again returned.
It was Return of the Wind!
Jin Pinger although shock but her skills was after all not trivial, leapt up, avoided the raging wind by a hair breath.
The wind howled, fiercely charged into the forest.
The leaves and branches, not one moved.
Jin Pinger heaved a sigh of relief, turned to look at Taoist Cangsong.
He was still quietly standing there, his expression solemn.
Unmoving!
The raging wind again turned back.
Jin Pinger knew she was in peril, without hesitation, her slender waist twisted, she actually headed straight to that wind!
The wind was still raging!
That light yellow figure, suddenly evolved into a beam of light, such rapid speed, almost invisible.
Her hair flying up!
The raging wind approached, within the light yellow light, a burst of magnificence abruptly seen.
The brilliant purple color, likepurple color, like a resplendent sunset glow!
The Purple Light Sword finally appeared.
That burst of invisible wind, in this motionless world, fiercely greeted that lady.
Without any sound.
Not even a bit.
Like receiving a heavy blow, Jin Pinger flew back out, landed on the ground, her blood channels in a turmoil, almost spilling out.
But then she still stood firmly.
The light dance before her, dispersed!
It was again a clear and bright day, reflecting in her eyes.
She stood before the dense forest, in the forest, it was still that hazy.
What happened just now, was like a dream!
A human lifetime, was it real or illusionary, how could it be separated clearly!
From behind, Taoist Cangsong’s voice, mixed with approval, was heard.
“Jin fairy do you understand it now?”
Below Majestic Fox Mountain.
Ghost Li’s figure flying, headed urgently sideways.
That figure, that sigh!
Even his life might be forfeited, he also wanted to grab hold of a lifetime!
Ten years of hardship, ten years of hurt, ten years of misery.
For what?
So much of heart talk, evolving into his pursuing footsteps.
Only afraid that, it was only a dream!
Not knowing what he was mumbling, his footsteps never stopped.
Traversing through the forest but Ghost Li’s figure could not be seen how, entering from one direction and coming from another, it was only an instant.
In the forest, empty, the remaining leaves swayed.
He was still, unable, to catch it?
Or maybe, all of these and everything, was only, his misperception like in the stone room at that time?
But!
That sigh, was so real, almost beside him.
Under the thin moonlight, this figure who was already not a young man, appeared so dismal.
Is there G.o.d in the heavens? But why did it, persistently make one a fool!
He heaved a long sigh, like an old man suffering.
“Then this is it. Since you can look past life and death, yet in your heart there is something more important than life and death, rather than you trying to ask me in every possible ways, why don’t you think about these things which are more important to you?”
Zhou Yixian’s advice, for some reason, surfaced in his mind.
“And even more important…”
Under the moonlight, this man, laughing bitterly, mumbled to himself.
“Senior, you are wrong after all, even though I could think but what abilities do I have to grab hold of it…”
His words, suddenly paused.
Again another sigh, behind him.
Unless…
His throat choked up, he turned around.
Was it heaven’s grace!
He couldn’t control his emotions, the person behind him, was already in front of him.
No!
It was not!
That instant, his blood turned cold.
Youji stood before him.
“You finally came back?”
She slowly said, without emotion.
“The Majestic Fox Mountain is already beyond recognition.”
