When Zige returned to the ferryboat, the thick fog that could not be dissolved began to fade gradually.

Lai Mengtian stood at the bow of the boat, with the sweet sea breeze blowing the girl's long hair, his hands folded and placed on his chest, as if he had been praying for Zige. When she saw Zige's figure, her anxious eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with light.

The next moment, the girl threw herself into Zige's arms.

"I'm back. Zige rubbed her long hair and whispered softly.

The ferryman stood at the bow of the boat, and the two ghost fires under the hat were lit up and extinguished, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, the ferryman's figure moved, and suddenly appeared in front of Zige like a ghost. Zige protected Lai Meng behind him and looked at the ferryman vigilantly.

Before, Zige didn't regain his strength and couldn't perceive the strength of the ferryman. Now, he has not only regained his strength, but has also reached a higher level, but he still can't perceive the strength of the ferryman.

The ferryman stood in front of him, but there was not a trace of breath emanating from him, and if he closed his eyes, Zige thought that it was just air in front of him.

Suddenly, the ferryman raised his hand—not so much a hand as a sleeve, for there was nothing in the white robe. Before Zige could react, an invisible and irresistible force pulled him in front of the ferryman, and the two ghost flames were less than two fists away from him.

"Brother Mo!" Lai Mengtian exclaimed, and was about to step forward.

Zige raised his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Mengtian, don't come here!"

Although Lai Mengtian was nervous about Zige, he listened to Zige's words very much, and immediately stopped and looked at Zige and the ferryman nervously. The reason why Zige drank Lai Mengtian was because Lai Mengtian was just a wisp of remnant soul, and he was definitely not the opponent of the ferryman. What's more, he didn't feel any killing intent from the ferryman.

The ferryman did not speak, and the two ghost fires flickered and flickered. Zige found that the ferryman was not looking at himself, but at his left hand. After discovering this, Zige cautiously raised his left hand, and two ghost fires rotated with his movements.

When Zige raised his left hand to the eyebrow position, the force once again imprisoned his left hand, and the phoenix ring automatically fell off from his tail finger and floated in front of the ferryman's eyes.

"Phoenix. The ferryman spat out a word.

Immediately, a bloodless face emerged, and the two ghost fires slowly weakened, turning into black pupils on that face. Zige had never seen such a face, fair and delicate, if it weren't for the protruding Adam's apple, Zige would almost think it was a woman's face. At the same time, the ferryman's body also occupies the flat white robe.

The ferryman stretched out his hand, and the phoenix ring fell into his hand. The ferryman gently stroked the phoenix ring, as if he was caressing his own child. At this moment, Zige felt a cheering emotion from the phoenix ring in the palm of the ferryman's hand, which he had never seen before.

Does he have anything to do with Feng Jie? Zige couldn't help but think to himself.

At this time, Mo Ling came out of Zige's eyebrows, and the little fat man, who had always been restless, showed a rare dignified look, sat cross-legged on Zige's head, and said nothing. Zige saw the corners of the ferryman's mouth pull up a trace of arc, like a reunion of old friends.

"Long time, no see. "The ferryman's voice is magnetic, but as before, it feels mechanical, like a marionette.

Zige was stunned, thinking that he shouldn't be talking to himself. Immediately, Zige's eyes looked upward, since he was not talking to himself, and it was impossible to talk to Lai Mengtian behind him, there was only one last possibility, the ferryman was talking to the little fat man.

Sure enough, the little fat man's voice sounded: "Night, long time no see." ”

The two guys knew each other, and Zige immediately came to a conclusion. But he didn't speak in a hurry, the situation was a little unclear, after all, knowing is knowing, and it is still unclear whether it is friend or foe. It's not too late to let these two people catch up on the old days.

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for him. Ye Yan was concise and pointed to Zi Ge.

"He's my master, don't go too far. The little fat man didn't even use the master to call himself, and even admitted to outsiders for the first time that Zige was his master, which showed that the little fat man was quite jealous of the ferryman, he patted Zige's head, "Tu Baozi, when you encounter this embryo killing, you can ask for more blessings yourself." ”

After speaking, he stopped talking, but he didn't burrow back to Zige's eyebrows, but flew to the paper lamp, as if admiring the surrounding scenery - if the little fat man hadn't sneaked a glance at Zige from time to time.

Zige's mind was full of thoughts, judging from Mo Ling's actions just now, the ferryman should be a friend or foe, but he couldn't be sure yet. The only thing Zige can be sure of is that this ferryman named Night should have no ill will towards him. In this case, maybe we can communicate, Zige thought.

Just do it when you think of it, Zige hugged his fist at the ferryman and said: "Junior Mozige, I don't know ...... seniors"

"Deal. The ferryman interrupted Zige's words, and said.

"Deal?" Zige was stunned, and immediately reacted, "Are the seniors going to make a deal with the juniors?"

The ferryman nodded: "Emperor, return, ferry." ”

"Emperor, return, cross?" Zige chewed on these three words, but he really didn't know what they meant, so he shook his head and said, "The juniors are stupid, and I ask the seniors to show me." ”

He meant that. Mo Ling didn't wait for the ferryman to explain to Zige, but spoke first and said, "When you become Emperor Wu, come back here and ferry him to the other side." What a pig brain, stupid!"

Mo Ling looked at Zige with disgust, this little fat man was ruthless to Zige.

Seeing that Zige's face was still suspicious, the ferryman nodded, and then pointed to Lai Mengtian behind Zige, and said, "She stays, you go." ”

Hearing this, Zige's face changed, and the ferryman's meaning was very clear, he wanted to keep Meng Tian by his side. Zige also understands that this is to prevent him from not coming back after leaving, as long as Lai Mengtian's remnant soul stays in the Sea of No Return, no matter whether Zige can become an emperor or not, he will inevitably return to the Sea of No Return.

I have to say that these old monsters who have lived for an unknown amount of time are simply the old ginger among the old gingers, and they saw through the lifeblood of Zige at once.

Zige said coldly: "Senior, you have already taken away the phoenix ring of the junior, why do you still want to leave Mengtian? If the seniors don't believe in the juniors, the juniors make an oath, please let Mengtian go, what do the seniors think?"

After speaking, Zige didn't wait for the ferryman to respond, took out a drop of painstaking work, and made a vow of "ascending to the throne and not returning to the sea", the blood dissolved in the void, and the oath was completed. However, the next moment, Zige's face changed drastically, and the drop of blood that should have been used for the heart oath unexpectedly reappeared in his body.

This shows that although the heart oath is completed, it is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao. To put it simply, it is emptiness with a form without a soul.

The ferryman shook his head and said, "You, you can't stand, swear." ”

Zige was shocked, this was the first time he had made an oath, from the outside world, he had indeed made an oath, but the ferryman seemed to have known for a long time that the oath would not work at all for Zige. It turned out that this was the reason why he wanted to leave Lai Mengtian behind, instead of Zige making an oath.

Zige didn't believe in evil, and once again made a vow, and his heart and blood dissolved in the void and reappeared in his body. Zige's face changed again and again, and he immediately gritted his teeth, and when he was about to come back for the third time, the little fat man's voice sounded.

"Don't try! Think about it with your pig brain, if you can make an oath, do you think you can still stand here now? ”

Hearing Mo Ling's words, Zige remembered the scene where he faced the Heavenly Dao. At that time, he had some doubts.

It stands to reason that when the martial artist awakens in the martial heart, the Heavenly Dao takes the heart and soul, firstly, to supervise the vows between the warriors, and secondly, to restrain the warriors. You must know that the hard work is closely related to the martial artist, and with the thought of the Heavenly Dao, you can destroy the hard work, and then trace back to the source, and wipe out the owner of the hard work.

At that time, Tiandao did not do this, but instead used more complex illusion methods to erase Zige. At that time, Zige didn't think too much about it, and thought that it was the back hand left by the War Emperor, so that Tiandao could not kill him through his own efforts.

It wasn't until now that Mo Ling's words let him know that when he awakened his martial heart, his hard work was not obtained by the Heavenly Dao at all. In this way, how could the Heavenly Dao take his life through such means? In the same way, without the painstaking efforts as a medium, the vow made by Zige was only in vain.

If it were normal times, Zige would be very happy, even excited. Because this means that he is not subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, but now Zige is not happy, because he can't make an oath, it means that Lai Mengtian must stay in the Sea of No Return and become a hostage of the ferryman.

This poor girl gave her life for Zige without regrets. Because of a wisp of obsession, the remnant soul was tortured in the Sea of No Return, and now he has to continue to stay in the Sea of No Return for him, unable to be freed.

How could Zige agree?

"Please ask the seniors to change the conditions, even if the seniors want my life, the juniors will never resist. I only hope that the seniors can free Mengtian. If the seniors are unwilling, the younger generations can only fight to the death. ”

"You're there, threaten, me?"

The ferryman waved his hand, and Zige was grabbed by his neck and lifted up. Zige wanted to break free from the ferryman's hands, but found that not only his body, but even Wu Yuanli was imprisoned to death. In front of the ferryman, no matter whether Zige regains his strength or not, he is like a mortal who is powerless to resist.

"Promise, or die. The ferryman said coldly.

Zige's face turned blue and he couldn't breathe, but he said with difficulty but firmly: "I'll ...... Is it dead...... Nor will it be a dream ...... Stay in ...... No Return to the Sea...... Suffering......"

As soon as the words fell, the power in the ferryman's hand suddenly increased, Zige's face turned from blue to red, and his eyes began to turn white. Seeing this, Mo Ling finally made a move.

The little fat man stood up and spoke in a deep voice, his voice faintly tinged with a hint of anger: "Enough, Night!"

The ferryman turned his head, looked at the little fat man, and with a wave of his left hand, he lifted the little fat man to the ground: "Get out." ”

The ferryman didn't look at Mo Ling who fell to the ground, turned his head, and said coldly: "One last time, promise, or die." ”

"I refuse ......"

"I promise!"

Behind him, the girl's glutinous but firm voice reached Zige's ears and also reached the ferryman's ears. The ferryman hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and as soon as his right hand was loosened, Zige sat down on the ferryboat, panting for breath.

Zige turned around, and Lai Mengtian's smile was a little bitter.
