Black shadows pierced through the blood-colored world.

This place of dead silence, madness, despair, the terrifying screams of the wraiths, the creaking sounds between the skeletons are eerie...... This is the leitmotif of this dead world.

The ruined city, red and black traces everywhere, is the result of the blood spilled in the past, and millions of people ushered in the end of the city on the day the city was broken.

The black shadow formed the gate, and Su Qiran and the others quickly walked out of the shadow door, looking at the surrounding scene silently, as if they could still believe how tragic the tragedy of the past was.

"The breath of the necromancy has faded a lot, and there are fewer undead. Qin Xiaotong suddenly spoke.

The moment she stepped out of the shadow door, she clearly felt that the original necromantic aura in the air had faded a lot, and as far as she could see, only some low-level skeletons and zombies were still a little sluggish walking towards this side.

"Maybe it's because you're far away from the Eternal Forest?" said Su Xiaoxiao, who was holding Xingnuo, after thinking for a while.

“...... No, I'm just the Eternal Forest that I went through Cold Bamboo City...... The density of undead here is indeed much lower. Su Qiran shook his head, he looked a little "haggard" at this time.

"Where are we going now?" Qin Xiaotong looked at Su Qiran with an inquiring gaze.

“...... I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll have to go to Cold Bamboo City to pick up some people. ”

"......?" Qin Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, looking at the dilapidated streets in front of him, the city full of blood and bones.

"Is there anyone alive here?"

“...... Does Dean Xiao Muxiao remember?" Su Qiran said softly, "His corpse turned into an undead, but he didn't know why he retained his sanity, so he sheltered some people with [Class Suppression]. ”

“...... Oh. Qin Xiaotong slightly recalled the appearance of the energetic old courtyard when he arrived at Bailan Manor more than a month ago.

An old man who is a little clumsy.

A few people walked through the bloody streets, and the few low-level undead on the side of the road were completely unable to stop their steps.

With a somewhat vague memory, Su Qiran reluctantly found the only remaining safe place, the bamboo building.

But when he saw the ruins of the bamboo building, Su Qiran's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The bones of the old man, half of his body turned into white bones, were half kneeling on the ground, his posture was strange, he held the purple sword in both hands, straight through his own disclosure...... The sword that accompanied the old man in his lifelong battle finally buried his master.

"......" Su Qiran's heart was slightly sad.

He remembered that Xiao Mu had told him when he left here.

[I don't have much time to stay awake...... I may turn into an undead at any moment, and I hope you will come back in time. 】

It seems that it was not too late, Xiao Mu broke his soul in order to prevent his crazy self from becoming an undead and causing trouble to the world.

But also, this is a heroic legend that reality is not beautiful. Things are unpredictable and unpredictable, there are few things that can be done in time, and it is even harder to have a non-sad ending.

From the moment Xiao Mu turned into an undead spirit after his death, he was destined to have no good ending.

"Goodbye......" Su Qiran saluted slightly at the old man's kneeling bones, and then he dug a simple pit on the spot, buried Xiao Mu's bones, and finally erected a simple stone monument for him.

There is a sentence on the stele, "A dutiful soldier".

Just when Su Qiran was busy with everything, there was a slight movement on the ruins of the bamboo building not far away.

Su Qiran was stunned, and a girl with a dirty body "crawled" up from the ruins.

It's the female teacher before, Xu Ruo.

Xiao Mu is completely dead, although Xiao Mu has broken his soul in order to prevent his violent self from hurting others...... But in this desperate place, Xiao Mu, who was the [protective umbrella], fell, and the other undead who were eyeing the living would definitely not let Xu Ruo and those children go. Therefore, Su Qiran had subconsciously thought that everyone had died, and the destroyed bamboo building was the best proof of this.

"Are you back?" Xu Ruo's voice was hoarse, and she looked very haggard.

"You...... What about the children?" asked Su Qiran in a hurry.

"In the [Crypt]. Xu Ruo opened his body slightly, the black hole was about five feet in diameter, and this hole was covered by the ruins of the bamboo building before, so Su Qiran and they didn't notice it at all.

"......" felt Su Qiran's puzzled gaze, and Xu Ruo's face was full of bitterness and shame.

"In order to save us, Dean Xiao dug a hole for us to hide in and prepared enough food for us...... He even gouged out his own eyes and put them in a hole in the ground, his eyes were able to deter the other undead from getting close to ......"

The female teacher Xu Ruo's voice was choked, and she seemed to cry at any time.

"It's over, I'll take you out of here, your life is Dean Xiao's only wish......" Su Qiran sighed lightly, and then said with relief.

——

——

The pinnacle of the sword.

Jian Ling Tian walked briskly and came to this place once again that seemed to be able to reach the heavens.

The kind old man stood on the edge of the Sword Peak, his eyes looking at the southern sky.

"You figured it out?" the Sword Star God asked softly.

“...... Well. Jian Lingtian walked up to the old man, looked at the beautiful sea of clouds in the distance, and nodded firmly

"My sword, for those whom I care. ”

A slight smile appeared on the Sword Star God's face.

"I understood what I wanted. I like my life very much, calm and happy, and I wield my sword to protect such a peaceful and peaceful life!"

Very selfish answer. Sword Star God whispered.

“......”

"Let me ask you another question, what do you think of [good and evil]. ”

Jian Ling Tian was slightly stunned.

"Whoever burns, kills, plunders, and oppresses the people is evil, but it is good to punish the evil and destroy the evil." ”

"So what is right and wrong?"

“......”

"The farmer wants the farmer to have a good harvest when it rains, and the merchant wants the goods to circulate on a sunny day. Ling Tian, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world. ”

"Anything, for different people, can be a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on what the person himself wants. Everyone subjectively judges the right and wrong, good and evil of a thing. ”

The Sword Star God turned his head and stared at Jian Ling Tian's eyes seriously.

"Don't limit your gaze to yourself, and don't limit your gaze to the present moment. ”

Jian Ling Tian nodded silently.

"The reason why Sword Mountain didn't send people down the mountain to the south to support is because we have more important things to do, your parents are leading people to clear the [Dark Palace] forces in the east and west who are trying to [take advantage of the fire] to rob. Ling Tian, this disaster is not as simple as it seems, and it will not end so easily......" Sword Star God answered the question that Sword Ling Tian had asked at the beginning.
