Heiya City was an absolutely dangerous place for Yun Che, and he had always been restrained, disguised, and cautious when he was in the city.

But now, he didn't care if he would be discovered by the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, and his whole body was desperately surging, and the phantom light and thunder were exerted to the extreme, like a streamer piercing the sky above Heiya City, and everywhere he went, there was an extremely deafening scream.

Before he sent He Lin back to the Wood Spirit Secret Land, he also carefully probed him for tracking marks.

But...... Why is there such a thing as Soul Chasing Incense!

It must be fake...... How could there be such a thing!

Heiya City quickly fell backwards under him, and his teeth clenched all the way, nearly shattering.

He stayed in the Wood Spirit Secret for an hour and a half, and after leaving, another three or four hours had passed. If everything is true, then so much time has passed......

Don't be true!

Yun Che rushed out of Heiya City like thunder, several times faster than when he sent He Lin away before, and then rushed to the southeast, straight into the dense forest, and the whole process did not stop for a moment.

After entering the dense forest, Yun Che's speed still did not decrease at all, and a mighty hurricane suddenly blew in the dense forest, and the grass and trees flew sideways, and the roots of the 10,000-year-old trees were all broken.

Following the memory that was still completely clear, Yun Che finally saw the rows of ancient trees near the entrance of the Wood Spirit Secret Land, and he fell sharply, and then his pupils shrank sharply.

In front of him, the ancient trees supporting the Wood Spirit Illusion Array had all been shattered, and the green and black wood vines seemed to have been devastated by the wind and waves, and the roots were broken, and they were spread all over the ground in chaos.

The world ahead was quiet, and the silence was creepy.

Yun Che's heart stopped beating in a sudden tightness, his eyes were straight, his whole body was cold, and he stood there for a long time, his legs slowly moving forward in stiffness, and the sound of stepping on the broken vine under his feet was like a knife saw constantly cutting his soul.

Stepping over the broken wooden vines, Yun Che's footsteps stopped, his body was trembling, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if the blood in his whole body had completely drained in an instant.

The original green and neat flowers and plants are in a mess, all the ancient trees have fallen, and the wooden houses have been turned into a mess. Everywhere, apart from the traces of chaotic battles, there was only pale green blood and dead silence.

One after another, the wood spirits lay quietly on the ruined land stained with the blood of the wood spirits, silently. The wood spirit closest to Yun Che's feet, his eyes widened to the maximum, but there was no emerald green pupil in it, only fear and despair...... And the resentment that did not dissipate until death.

"Ah............ Ah............h

Yun Che's lips were trembling, his sharply dilated pupils covered almost all the whites of his eyes, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, he could no longer move, and even his vision was blurred, and then the world swirled.

After a long time, he raised his hands and grabbed his head, his five fingers trembling like an old man who was about to die.

He's dead......

All dead......

It's me......

I killed them...... It's me......

"Huh...... Whew......"

It took a dozen heavy breaths for his mind and eyes to finally regain their clarity.

He walked forward slowly, his vision was still a little blurry, but every corpse of the wood spirit, every drop of green blood, was extremely clear in his heart...... Then it turned into an incomparably cold blade, piercing every corner of his soul.

The scarlet blood of human beings can occasionally be seen, but in this world that has become a mess, it is particularly glaring and dirty.

Call......

Taking another deep breath, Yun Che's face finally softened, and his eyes became calm. He walked slowly, carefully trampling on this small world that had been destroyed.

Bang!!

A shattered old tree suddenly fell, revealing the lifeless body of a wood spirit behind it...... Her old and thin, wrinkled face was eternally calm.

"Granny Aoba......" Yun Che thought softly, raised his head, and slowly closed his eyes. She is the most respected by He Lin, and she is the wood spirit with the highest rank and prestige in this small world, and just a few hours ago, he also received the wood spirit dew that she personally gifted.

"I'm sorry I brought disaster to you. Yun Che said lightly: "Please rest in peace." ”

In the face of the tragedy that has been cast, all he can do is this pale apology.

Although my heart has calmed down, my chest is still blocked with an extremely oppressive uncomfortable feeling. Yun Che flew up, his spiritual sense was released, and he tried to find the surviving wood spirit...... Even one is fine.

In front of the collapsed wooden house, he saw a sturdy middle-aged wooden spirit, even though he had no breath, and was already clutching a broken spear in his hand, his body and spear were stained with green and scarlet blood.

He had a large bloody hole in his back...... In order to fight to the death, he did not self-destruct the Wood Spirit Bead early, and there is no doubt that after his death, the Wood Spirit Bead was forcibly taken away.

"Aoki senpai. ”

Yun Che's lips moved slightly, and his hands clenched in trembling.

Around him, there were a large number of corpses of adult wood spirits, each of which was covered with traces of bloody battles. And their eyes were all wide open, frightened, desperate, and resentful...... Nothing to look at.

Yun Che flew silently, and at the back of the small world, he saw one young wood spirit after another, some of them hugging each other, and some sleeping in the arms of the elders...... And the youngest one, his immature body, runs through a long black knife.

Breathing, it was becoming more and more difficult to calm down, and Yun Che turned his gaze away with difficulty...... He saw the big flowerbed, where he had been here for the longest time.

Thousands of flowers are gone, and there is not a single butterfly.

At the end of the flower garden, two girls hugged each other tightly. There were no scars on their bodies, but they also had no breath of life.

Died by self-destruction of the spirit bead.

Yun Che fell and looked at them blankly: "Flying geese...... Qinghe ......"

Outside the flower garden, a wood spirit boy fell there silently, and the scars all over his body showed how fierce and cruel the battle he had gone through to protect the two girls behind him.

"Clear ...... Bamboo ......"

The feeling of suffocation that had obviously eased suddenly pressed on his heart and soul again, and it was extremely strong...... Stronger than ever.

“...... I really want to be able to see the outside world one day......"

"I always thought that human beings were terrible, but I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful and likable human being as Brother Yun Che. ”

"This is a talisman I made with my own hands, and it will bless you with peace......"

"Brother Yun Che...... You'll come back often...... Visiting us......"

“......”

Qingzhu ...... Flying geese ...... Qinghe ......

He grabbed his head with one hand and covered his heart with the other, and slowly squatted down, his heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of poisonous needles, and his whole body trembled in pain.

Just a few hours ago, they had looked at him with such pure, earnest, expectant eyes, and listened to his words with great care, lest they miss a word, and he could clearly feel the deep longing in their souls.

Fate was too cruel for them, and what their peers were completely accustomed to was an unattainable luxury for them, and they had just reached their most beautiful years, but they were already ......

"Yes...... Be...... Hurt ...... You ......"

"Yes...... I ......"

My heart was twitching, my teeth were chattering, and the five fingers on my head had pierced into the flesh in the trembling process, but I didn't feel a trace of pain.

It was the second time in his life that he felt that way.

The first time, it was in the Cangyun Continent that year, he lost his master, lost Ling'er, there was no one in the world who cared about him, and there was no one who cared about him, he poisoned all the creatures in the entire city with the Heavenly Poison Bead under hatred and madness......

After the twisted pleasure, the endless repression and guilt made his painful desire collapse and go insane......

On that occasion, he buried millions of lives...... The vast majority of them are innocent, and they have no grudges against him.

This time, a hundred wood spirits were not killed by his own hands...... But the pain that filled the soul was as strong as it was back then.

Why is this happening......

What the hell did these innocent wood spirits do wrong!

Is it just because you're too kind, too weak!?

No...... It's because I'm ...... If it weren't for me, the scourge...... How could they have suffered such a catastrophe!

It's all because of me!!

If it weren't for the fact that I had to find some wood spirit beads, if it weren't for the fact that I thought I was merciful enough to bring He Lin back, I wouldn't have ......

............

Wait a minute...... He Lin!?

Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Yun Che raised his head suddenly, and then stood up suddenly...... What about He Lin? There is no He Lin in these corpses of the wood spirits, where did He Lin go?

Yun Che flew up, and his spiritual sense was quickly released, covering the entire wood spirit secretly, sweeping over every inch of land, every flower and plant, and every corpse of the wood spirit.

But only the existence of He Lin was not discovered.

The brain quickly woke up, and the spiritual sense suddenly spread out to the greatest extent...... Without He Lin's body, he might still be alive...... No, it must be alive.

Those people knew that He Lin was a royal wood spirit, and they must have preferred to catch him alive. And He Lin cares extremely about the identity of his royal family wood spirit, even if he falls into a desperate situation, he will never be willing to die...... Yes, he must be alive!

The biggest possibility is that he was captured alive.

The blood on the ground hadn't dried up, and they must not have gone far.

Yun Che flew higher into the sky, closed his eyes, and desperately gathered his spirit...... Gotta find, must find!!

Due east, a stampede that spread into the distance appeared in his spiritual sense, his eyes opened, and the mysterious power on his body exploded instantly, rushing towards the east like lightning.
