There was darkness and silence in the passage of the cave, so silent that it seemed as if even time had stood still.

"Little junior brother, it's been a long time. Wu Qing broke the silence with a smile.

Zhao Lan just stood motionless, looking at him fixedly, as if he had become a wood carving.

"Senior brother, why don't you speak?" Wu Qing scratched her head, turned her head and asked Yu Ling, "Is there any water?" I'd better wipe my face, otherwise my junior brother won't seem to recognize me." ”

Zhao Lan stepped through the void step by step, he hung his head slightly, he couldn't see what expression was on his face, and when Wu Qing was washing his face indiscriminately, he suddenly said loudly: "Senior brother, you still haven't changed at all." ”

"It may seem like a long time has passed, but to me, it's as if I just said goodbye to you yesterday. It's a little brother, you don't want to cry your nose, do you? Wu Qing quipped with a smile.

He strode forward, gave Zhao Lan a hug vigorously, then patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad, is it to the Chaos Realm, the junior brother is worthy of the body of Dao Xuan, there must be no problem in handing over the sect to you, my vision is so good......"

Wu Qing said a lot, but Zhao Lan didn't say a word, but the cold aura on his body invisibly faded a lot, and the whole person was in a very relaxed state.

"Big brother. Zhao Lan suddenly interrupted Wu Qing's words and looked into his eyes seriously, "When Wan'er went to the Western Territory alone, I actually had a lot to say to her, but in the end, I didn't even have a promise. ”

The smile on Wu Qing's face was retracted, and she vaguely realized what Zhao Lan wanted to say next.

"I regretted it when she just left, and when I heard the news later, it became a lifelong regret for me. ”

Zhao Lan lowered his eyelids slightly, and said: "I don't have many people in my life who care, so senior brother, do you know how desperate I was when I woke up from the Western Realm that day and heard the news that Tianxue Star had been captured? ”

Wu Qing's expression froze, and he was about to speak, but Zhao Lan interrupted first: "At that time, I was standing in a blood-colored ruin, and I felt as if I had no meaning to live, and the only thing that supported me from falling was the hatred engraved into my soul, and the responsibility you imposed on me. ”

"I'm not a responsible person, and I don't want to be a sect master, in fact, I was still weak at that time, and no one was willing to follow my orders and treat me as a sect master. ”

"I even miss the old days a little, although I am a waste wood from the countdown of cultivation, but Master, Wan'er, and you are all there, so it's good. Unlike now, even though I am the head of a sect, I am also empty. ”

Wu Qing, who has always been enthusiastic and talkative, didn't know what to say at the moment, and seemed a little at a loss, but Zhao Lan, who had always been silent, never stopped talking.

He is no longer the dumb Zhao that everyone laughs at, in the past three thousand years, Wu Qing has not changed much, but he has changed too much.

"Senior brother, come back to the sect with me, it doesn't matter who is the sect master, it's just that if something happens in the future, we will bear it together, okay?"

Zhao Lan said word by word: "Even if it is death, I don't want to live with so many regrets and hardship." ”

"Okay. Wu Qing pursed her lips, trying to pull out a smile, but tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes.

"It's so unproductive, I didn't expect me to cry first as a respect. Wu Qing wiped her face fiercely, and when she raised her head again, she had already changed into a smile as bright as the sun.

"It's the senior brother who is wrong, in the future, our senior brothers will fight side by side, if you don't believe me, swear an oath?" Wu Qing raised a hand.

Zhao Lan said lightly: "It's all in this realm, what's the use of swearing." ”

"You are in the Chaos Realm, I have been standing still for the past three thousand years, it should still be the Guyuan Realm, why is it useless?" Wu Qing retorted.

"I've never seen such a powerful Guyuan martial artist. Zhao Lan's face was expressionless.

"Huh, I'm such a weak chicken now, what's so powerful?" Wu Qing looked surprised, and it didn't seem to be a fake.

"Senior Wu, are you serious?" Yu Ling couldn't help but say.

"Seriously, why are you two looking at me like this, I'm a little hairy. Wu Qing wiped her arm uncomfortably.

The corners of Zhao Lan's mouth twitched, and suddenly his body sank slightly, and he punched over, without the slightest intention of sparing his hand.

Yu Ling only felt a flower in front of him, and before he could react, the two of them intersected their fists and palms between the electric lights and flints, making a muffled bang, and then each retreated a distance.

If you look closely, it turned out to be Zhao Lan who fell downwind, Wu Qing just shook slightly, and withdrew a few meters away to stabilize his figure.

This is not to say that Zhao Lan's strength is inferior to him, but because ......

"Little junior brother, why don't you say a word and play sneak attack!" Wu Qing looked confused.

"If you haven't reached the Chaos Realm, you can't take my punch, but Senior Brother still has to get used to your current strength. Zhao Lan said calmly.

"But I ......" Wu Qing's face was incredulous, he looked at his hand, everything was as usual, but just now, a mysterious power suddenly surged out of nowhere, and he struck Zhao Lan's blow.

Although Zhao Lan shouldn't have used all his strength, this is enough to explain something.

Wu Qing closed her eyes and looked inward, and only after a while did she open her eyes in a daze, and said at a loss: "My Xuanli ...... It's gone, but the Heavenly Acupoint is still running with an indescribable aura, what's going on. ”

The Gnature King shook his tentacles, circled around Wu Qing, and thought for a moment, "Strictly speaking, you are no longer considered a living person, but have become a netherworld dead thing like me...... cough, Zhao Lan, it's useless for you to stare at me, you can see for yourself, there is still a little life in him, it's all dead!"

"I ...... Already dead?" Wu Qing was stunned and muttered, "Yes, I have died a long time ago, and I have been ...... three thousand years ago"

Seeing that Zhao Lan's face was getting worse and worse, the Gnature King hurriedly added: "Hey, I didn't mean that, don't you see that I'm still alive." ”

Zhao Lan stretched out his hand and pressed Wu Qing's veins, and the cold dead qi immediately spread towards him like a substance, and Wu Qing himself was a little uncontrollable.

"The Heavenly Acupoint Technique is still running?" Zhao Lan asked.

"Yes, although the strength has completely changed, the exercises don't seem to be affected. Wu Qing subconsciously replied, still confused by the question of whether he was dead or alive now.

"What happened back then?" Zhao Lan asked again.

Wu Qing said gloomily: "My memory is a little blurry, intermittent. For this calamity was entirely caused by my impulses, and if I had endured it back then, perhaps I would not have ......."

Zhao Lan interrupted: "What's the use of forbearance, what is the danger of wanting to add crimes, unless the entire Heavenly Cave Sect becomes their vassal, how can the two spirit clans stop?"

Wu Qing smiled bitterly: "You don't have to comfort me, it's my responsibility after all...... I watched Elder Li and Elder Qi die in front of me, leaving no corpses behind, and I, the sect master, were so weak that they imprisoned me in a layer of light curtain and let me continue to watch my fellow disciples die one after another......"

Wu Qing's voice gradually condensed into ice, because the memory that he didn't want to touch was torn in front of him bloody again, making his heart like a knife and hurting into his bone marrow.

He was silent for two seconds, and jumped straight over the fierce battle: "In the end, I tried my best to break out of the light curtain, killed many, many people, and then dragged my dying body into the heavenly cave, and the people of the two spirit clans were chasing after me. ”

"The death qi soaked my whole body, I used my last consciousness to reverse the Heavenly Acupoint Technique, and then my body of mystical power exploded in a very short time, wanting to die with them. ”

"I don't know what happened next, but when I woke up, it was now. Wu Qing was stunned.

"Positive for life, reverse for death, the Heavenly Acupoint is to transform life and death, but before that, except for the ancestors, no one can do it, is it the senior brother ......" Zhao Lan thought thoughtfully.

"No, there should be another reason, just simply reversing the trick will only lead to death completely. Zhao Lan shook his head again.

Yu Ling suddenly spoke: "Sect Master Zhao, do you remember that Cha Ming said that the Heavenly Cave Ancestor is everywhere?"

Zhao Lan's eyes froze: "What do you mean?"

Yu Ling said slowly: "This state ...... It's like turning into a Tao, neither life nor death. Perhaps, the Heavenly Cave Ancestor is protecting Wu seniors in the dark, and it is impossible to say. ”

"Has the Ancestor already turned into a Dao?" Zhao Lan was silent for a moment, "There is no better explanation." ”

The realm of immortality, how difficult it is, how many romantic figures, heroes and heroes throughout the ages have fallen into the darkness on the eve of dawn.

It seems inevitable that the Tao will be transformed, and perhaps this is the final destination of all living beings.

"Although I didn't find the Heavenly Cave Ancestor this time, it was good to find Senior Wu. It's just that if you want to reverse the way back to the Yang Realm, I'm afraid it's not easy. Yuling said.

"How do I think it's not difficult?" Wu Qing thought for a moment, took a step, and pressed his right palm on the invisible boundary.

In an instant, the yin and yang were reversed, and the water of the Netherworld River seemed to be pulled by some force, and it rolled mightily, and the monstrous waves rushed over the barrier between yin and yang, and Yu Ling only felt a buzz in his mind, and he lost consciousness for a short time.

"There's not much time, let's go!" Wu Qing dragged him and swept through the frantically surging Netherworld River like a leisurely stroll, and the Gnature King also quickly flicked his tail and rolled up Yu Ling's sleeve, and his younger brothers were even more set one by one, floating up and down in the river like a black streamer.

"Are you leaving?"

A white shadow emerged from the river, and it was the tea tea that I didn't know where to run.

"Yes, we're going back to the Yang Realm, and you can stay in the Netherworld. Zhao Lan took the time to respond.

"Shall we join us?" Tea floated over.

"Can you hear what the Ancestor is saying?" Zhao Lan was stunned.

"The host didn't speak, I felt it. Tea said.

"What about the resentful spirit clan?" Yu Ling felt that this group of people was really miserable, and finally found a king, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to cry and faint in the netherworld.

"Then, I'll call them. Cha Ming thought about it.

As soon as Yu Ling thought of the dense number of people of the Resentful Spirit Clan, and then looked at the many younger brothers of the Gnature King, this scene, those who didn't know thought that the Netherworld was about to invade the Yang Realm.

But it's amazing that the originally insurmountable barrier was so easily broken down, maybe the Cave Ancestor was really protecting them?

"Ancestor, please rest assured that the Heavenly Cave Sect will one day reappear in the world, and it will never fail your efforts. Zhao Lan turned around, saluted into the endless darkness, and said firmly.

The waters of the Netherworld flowed gently around him, turning into a soft force that pushed everyone out of the Netherworld.

When I opened my eyes again, I had already returned to the yang realm.
