Chapter 39: Three Years Ago

He stopped and stroked Qiuqiu's back, arched his hand and said, "Senior, you mentioned before that the reason why the Demon Sect Master didn't personally hand over the cloth strip was because he had something urgent to leave, and the senior knew where the Demon Sect Master was going?"

"This, this ......"

Seeing that the ancient tree demon wanted to speak and stopped, he hesitated, and then asked, "Is that Demon Sect Lord still in the Demon Night Forest?"

"You, what's ......" the old man looked stunned.

The ancient tree demon's reaction made Xiao Li's face look a little excited, because he knew that he had most likely guessed correctly, that Demon Sect Master had already left the Demon Night Forest!

He had heard the three-faced owl mention that most of the demons in the Demon Night Forest had responsibilities and could not leave their territory at will. The Lord of the Demon Sect said that there was an urgent matter to leave, which means that he is not limited by these, and since this is the case, what he said about leaving definitely does not mean leaving his own territory. Besides, if he was still in the Demon Night Forest and had just gone to another place, then there was no need for him to ask the Ancient Dryad to help transfer it, because he could hand it over to him himself after he noticed that he had left the rift valley alone.

Although he thought of this, he was still faintly frightened, he could actually leave the Demon Night Forest, what level of demon was it? Could it be that he went to the human realm? However, why didn't any human race ever notice that the demon class had come out of the Demon Night Forest? What did they do when they left the Demon Night Forest?

The old man shook his head with a helpless smile on his face, and then replied, "Lord Demon Sect has indeed left the Demon Night Forest, but I don't know where he went. He is not limited by the ban on the demon night, and under the twelve ancestral demons, few side demons can stand out. ”

Standing and listening, he was silent, thinking quickly about all the doubts in his mind, and gradually connecting the fragmented memories.

The men who had captive him three years ago had been moving quietly, moving rapidly, until they reached the vicinity of the rift, and were not aware of them, so they must have acted with a strong purpose. This purpose could not be just to trap him in the rift, because it seemed pointless and not worth such a big deal. In addition, it is impossible to kill him, because he didn't kill him at the beginning, and naturally it is impossible to take him to the Demon Night Forest and kill him again.

The four of them who had cultivated to the heavens must have worked together to perform some kind of method of concealing their whereabouts, otherwise it would not have been possible to travel quietly for so long. The Rift Valley was located in the depths of the Demon Night Forest, less than a hundred miles away from the southernmost point, and if they were not detected, they would continue south, and it would have spanned the entire Demon Night Forest. In this way, their original purpose was probably to take the solitary to the south of the Demon Night Forest. It's just that it backfired, and later, the demon clan appeared, and there was a scuffle between the two parties, and they had to throw the lonely man under the rift.

The southern side of the Demon Night Forest has never been explored, and it is rumored that it is the end of the world, where all living beings will be lost. So what are they going to take Xiao Li to do? This question is not clear for a while, and Li Li has to put it aside for the time being. It's just that he vaguely guessed, "Could it be that the Demon Night Forest is here to organize other creatures to reach the southernmost part of the continent?"

As for why Qing Xu was taken captive with Xiao Li, but not thrown into the rift at the same time, it is likely that Qing Xu was abandoned before they reached the rift. Because they are carrying two people, after being attacked by the demon clan, they are likely to temporarily abandon one. Moreover, it should have been exactly noon, because if he was standing alone in the rift and falling, even if he fell quickly, he escaped the attacks of the giant tongue toad and the fire-beaked bird, but before he fell to the bottom, he would be swallowed by those bloodthirsty dead trees.

After that, Qing Xu probably traced all the way to the location of the rift, but she should not have been able to reach the bottom of the rift at that time. Because he believed that if Qing Xu was here, he would definitely meet him. However, there is no bottom in sight above the rift, so how did Qing Xu find out that he had self-harming behavior after a month?

The reason why he is convinced that Qing Xu can be at the bottom of the valley is because of two crucial clues, one is the time left by the cloth strip, and the other is the sentence "live" on the cloth strip, if it is not for seeing that he is still alive and knowing his depression at that time, the time when the cloth strip appeared and his meaning would be difficult to explain.

It was difficult for him to know the specific situation at that time, but he could guess that Qing Xu learned about his situation, and it was only possible that it was related to two demons, because there should have been only two demons involved at that time, one was an old monster whose territory was near the rift, and the other was the demon sect. Xiao Li was so sure because the three-faced owl had mentioned earlier that they didn't dare to go to the rift, which meant that ordinary demons couldn't go there, so naturally it was impossible to contact Qing Xu.

However, the other demons don't dare, it doesn't mean that the Demon Sect Lord doesn't dare, because the Ancient Tree Demon once mentioned that the Demon Sect Lord is unwilling to deal with the old monster, which means that the two of them are likely to be at the same level, so the Demon Sect Lord naturally dares to go to the vicinity of the rift valley and contact Qing Xu.

In addition, according to the ancient dryad, it is very likely that the old monster has a withdrawn and cold temperament, because he has been in the rift for three years, but he has never been seen, and he does not even know that an old monster exists, so he can get a glimpse of it. The old monster had never even paid attention to him, so it was naturally unlikely that he would tell Qing Xu about his situation at that time. Therefore, apart from him, it can only be related to another Demon Sect Lord.

Thinking of this, there is still something unclear about why Qing Xu said that the will of heaven is difficult to violate, why she left the vicinity of the rift after leaving the cloth strip, and why she asked the Demon Sect Lord to hand over the cloth strip? The only reasonable explanation for these three doubts is that Qing Xu and the Demon Sect reached some kind of agreement at that time! And it was only after the Demon Sect Lord informed Qing Xu of his situation that Qing Xu agreed to that agreement.

Qing Xu said the words "I wanted to live and die, but it was difficult to disobey the will of God", which meant that she had no choice, in order to live alone, she could only choose what she was most unwilling to give up, that is, to leave alone.

Since this is the case, then the agreement she agreed to may be clear, that is, to voluntarily follow the Demon Sect Master out of the Demon Night Forest!

At that time, Lord Demon Sect clearly said that he had something urgent to leave, but why did he help Qing Xu hand over the cloth strip when he was in a hurry, with his cultivation and status, why did he do such a thing? The reasonable explanation is that he agreed to Qing Xu, and on this condition, he wanted Qing Xu to voluntarily do something.

The Lord of the Demon Sect was about to leave the Demon Night Forest at that time, so what he wanted Qing Xu to do, it was naturally unlikely that he would leave her in the Demon Night Forest to do the side work, because this kind of thing, not to mention whether Qing Xu was able to do it, not to mention that he could completely order other demons to complete it, there was no need to reach an agreement with Qing Xu at all. If Qing Xu is willing, but also wants her to give up what she can't bear to give up in her heart, then it is only possible to leave with him!

There is also a very important point in making such an inference, that is, combined with the ancient tree demon's description of the character of the demon sect, "frank and carefree, high and far-reaching", of course, there are likely to be some ancient tree demons who are sycophantic because of their own awe. However, judging from the fact that Lord Demon Sect handed over the cloth strip for Qing Xu according to the agreement, he was at least not bad.

He didn't know why the Demon Sect Master took Qing Xu out of the Demon Night Forest, and he didn't know where Qing Xu was now or what his situation was, but now he could only be sure that Qing Xu was not in the Demon Night Forest! This is also the most important thing.

As for why Qing Xu didn't ask the Demon Sect Master for help and leave with him, it can naturally be explained that it was because the Demon Sect Lord didn't want to deal with the old monster, and if he interfered in the affairs under the rift, it was likely to anger the old monster, so it was impossible to agree to Qing Xu's request.

However, Xiao Li believes that Qing Xu is not just as simple as leaving a strip of cloth, because three years ago, a very supernatural thing happened at that time, and it was because of that incident that Xiao Li regained his faith and made up his mind to break out of the rift. He always thought that it was God who had mercy on him, and only then did he reveal his magic skills. Now it seems that what happened back then is very likely to be because of Qing Xu. She has done her best, giving up everything she has, just to be able to live!

After thinking about this, Xiao Li took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were sad, his mind was weak, and his clenched right hand slowly let go, leaving an obvious finger mark on the palm of his hand. He was accustomed to clenching his right hand as he pondered!
