After seeing the Wraith Emperor and the others behaving like this, Yan Fei smiled slightly, and then said: "What do you say about the Wraith Senior, now that the God King cultivators of the Demon Alliance and the Blood Shadow Family have all been executed, the next matter of the Netherworld Continent will be handed over to you!" Read the full text of the latest chapter

Soon after Yan Fei and the others left, the army of the Wraith Family unified the entire Netherworld Continent with an incomparable momentum, and soon after the Fengcang Continent was unified by the Feng Family, the Wraith Family also unified the entire Netherworld Continent.

After leaving the Netherworld Continent, Yan Fei took a group of his subordinates directly to the land of Qiyan. At this time, Yan Fei and a large group of people all flew out from the Ten Thousand Skull Necklace.

"Boss, it's better to see the scenery outside the Ten Thousand Skull Necklace! Look at this sea water, blue and clear, it is not something that can be derived from the wind realm inside the Ten Thousand Skull Necklace. Jin Xiaomu looked at Yan Fei with a smile and said, at this time, Yan Fei's side was surrounded by Tang Yan, Feng Lingyan, and Mei Ji, and several people were talking and laughing.

Seeing that Yan Fei ignored him, Jin Xiaomu was suddenly a little unhappy, and shouted at Yan Fei: "Big brother, have you forgotten my little brother when you have a confidant?

"Xiaomu, don't misunderstand me!" Yan Fei heard this, and hurriedly prepared to explain. When everyone on the side saw this, they laughed.

Just as Yan Fei and his party were flying over the sea area of the Sea Clan, several figures suddenly flew out of the boundless sea. Seeing this, Yan Fei and his party also paused.

"Who are you? Don't get in the way, or don't blame me for being rude. The fire tiger carried a large axe and shouted at the group of people in front of him.

"Ah Huo, don't be rude!" Yan Fei saw this, and hurriedly flew out. Then he looked at the person who came and stared over, and then said respectfully: "Xuanwu seniors, why are you here?" This group of people who suddenly appeared were naturally Xuanwu and others from the Sea Clan. At this time, beside the old man Xuanwu, Suzaku, Qinglong, Xuangui and others were all listed.

"Little one, it's only been a few years since I saw you, and it's amazing that you've grown to such an extent. Presumably, you should rush to the land of Qiyan, right? That's good, when you're done with the things at hand, then come to my Xuanhai City!"

After saying this, the figures of Xuanwu and the other people of the Sea Clan faded to the surface of the sea, and Yan Fei didn't even have time to say anything.

After Xuanwu and the others left, the fire tiger asked, "Childe, who is that old man?

Before Yan Fei could answer, Des on the side hurriedly said: "Fire Tiger, that old man's strength is definitely far superior to yours, I'm afraid it's not much different from those perverts in the Tianyu layer." ”

"Huh, how powerful is he?" the fire tiger tossed the giant axe in his hand, looking disbelieving. Seeing Huohu's behavior, Yue Feng could only smile helplessly.

"Alright, let's hurry back to the land of the swallows. After Yan Fei said lightly, he flew towards the land of Qiyan with a mighty group of people.

When it comes to returning to the land of Yan, Yan Mo and the three of them are the most excited, when they go out this time, they are still "destitute", but when they come back a few years later, they are also full of loads. The wealth that Yan Fei carries can definitely support the growth of the entire Yan clan, even if all the people of the Yan clan are cultivated into god-level powerhouses, it should not be a problem.

This time, when the Cang Family, the Blood Shadow Family and the Demon Alliance were destroyed, there were countless god-level powerhouses who were affected and fell, and in the Ten Thousand Skull Necklace, the Godhead Galaxy above the Wind Realm became more and more dazzling under the supplement of a large number of Godheads. This is nothing, Yan Fei has dozens of godheads in his hands, if there is no accident, a god-king godhead can definitely create a super powerhouse of the god-king realm, thinking that the Yan clan will one day give birth to countless god-king realm powerhouses, Yan Mo and the others can't calm down for a long time.

It didn't take long for Yan Fei and the others to return to the land of Qiyan. In the past few years, those divine power prohibitions on the periphery of the land of Qiyan have been evacuated early. According to the third Yanlong, the relationship between the Yan clan and the sea clan is very good, and some people have even concluded an equal contract with some sea beasts of the sea clan. All in all, the situation of the Yan clan in the land of Yanqi is now many times better than it was at the beginning.

The old man Jiuyan, the third brother of the Bai family, with the help of the Sea Clan, was promoted to the lower god level. Their speed is much faster than that of Jin Xiaomu and the others, you must know that since Tang Yan and the others stayed in the Sea Clan Holy Land for a period of time, they have progressed to the level of gods, but now they are still stuck at this level, and this cultivation speed is a little slow.

After returning to the land of Qiyan, Yan Mo and the others spent a lot of effort to tell their brothers about their deeds outside over the years, and Yan Fei also met the two elders of the Yan clan, Yan Changfeng and Lin Shan, when Yan Fei came to the land of Qiyan, where were they qualified to meet them? They are the powerhouses of the God King Realm, but this time Yan Fei returned, there were fifty God King cultivators under his command alone, and this kind of power was enough to sweep the Xuanhai Domain. The elder named Lin Shan was not from the Yan clan, but he had a lifelong friendship with Yan Changfeng, so he filled in an old position in the Yan clan.

At this point, Yan Fei and the others lived quietly in the land of perched swallows. And after hearing Yan Mo and others' rendering of Yan Fei, the reverence of countless people of the Yan clan for Yan Fei was even stronger to the extreme, I am afraid that even the two elders in the Yan clan are not as popular as him. Of course, with Yan Fei's return, the elders of the Yan clan have changed from the original two to four, Yan Fei's father and son are both members of the Yan clan, and it is a little unreasonable if they don't serve as an elder.

Since Jin Xiaomu and the others left the Ten Thousand Skull Necklace, they have all stayed in the land of Qiyan, in addition to cultivation, these guys will swim and play in the sea area of the Sea Clan from time to time. I have to say that now the people of the Sea Clan take great care of the Yan Clan, in the past, when Yan Fei had not yet come to the land of Qi Yan, where did the people of the Yan Clan dare to go to the sea to play? They cowered on the land of Qi Yan for a day, not to mention, they had to always guard against the attack of the Sea Clan on them, if the divine power prohibition outside the land of Qi Yan was broken by the sea beasts, I am afraid that now the Yan Clan has almost withered. txt novel download

At this time, Yan Fei walked on the beach outside the land of Qi Yan with Feng Lingyan, Tang Yan and Mei Ji, these days, Yan Fei likes this comfortable feeling very much, and walks on the beach like this with the person he likes. Occasionally, the sea breeze and the sun are also very enjoyable.

Jin Xiaomu, Jiu'er and the others had already disappeared a long time ago!, but Yan Fei sent the Des family to follow them, and safety was definitely not a problem.

"Ah Fei, what are you going to do next?" Feng Lingyan grabbed Yan Fei's arm, and then asked mischievously. And Tang Yan and Mei Ji on the side also gave Yan Fei an interested look after hearing Feng Lingyan's inquiry.

Yan Fei paused slightly, he had indeed planned some of the next things, and he knew that after dealing with these things, he was going to the Sea Clan to see the divine beast Xuanwu. Yan Fei had an extremely strong feeling that after he had seen the Divine Beast Xuanwu, perhaps his life would no longer be as peaceful and tranquil as it was now. Therefore, these days, Yan Fei has devoted all his energy to getting along with the people he loves.

Seeing Yan Fei's appearance of selling off, Feng Lingyan pouted, and then looked at Yan Fei solemnly and said, "Brother Fei, why don't we have a baby?"

"Huh?" After hearing Feng Lingyan's words that the sky was far away, Yan Fei's whole person was stunned. Tang Yan and Mei Ji on the side were also covered with blush after hearing Feng Lingyan say such explicit words.

"Huh? Sister Yan'er and Sister Mei Ji's faces are red? Ah Fei, you are our husband, is there anything wrong with us giving birth to you? Otherwise, one of the three of us, we will have fun in the future!" As he spoke, Feng Lingyan even brought Tang Yan and Mei Ji and Shen in. For some reason, Tang Yan and Mei Ji didn't know how to answer after hearing this.

Thinking like this, Yan Fei directly broke free from Feng Lingyan, and then teased Feng Tang Yan and Mei Ji and said, "Haha! Ling Yan is right, I think we have to have a child." I've been caught, if I'm caught, I'll have a baby tonight!" Yan Fei grabbed Tang Yan and Mei Ji as he spoke, and when the two girls saw this, they laughed and ran away.

"Ah Fei, you arrest me!" Ling Yan glanced at Yan Fei and put on a look of letting Jun pick up, Yan Fei saw this, his whole body trembled, but then he involuntarily grabbed towards Feng Lingyan. Seeing that Yan Fei was about to catch Feng Lingyan, this little girl turned out to be a big hand to dodge and avoid Yan Fei.

"Hmph, do you think I'm so casual?" said Feng Lingyan and walked towards Tang Yan and Mei Ji.

After returning to the land of Yan, Yan Fei's life has become dull, to be honest, Yan Fei enjoys this kind of life very much, and lives a quiet life with his relatives and friends, maybe there is no excitement in the adventure of life and death, but this is at least a hard-won happiness, isn't it?

After living in the land of Qiyan for half a year, Yan Fei and his group left the land of Qiyan, their target, the God of War Continent. As for the Fire Tiger and the others, they stayed in the land of Qiyan, and Yan Fei believed that with the strength of their group, they could definitely sweep the entire God of War Continent.

When Yan Fei was about to leave, the divine beast Xuanwu Chuanyin gave Yan Fei a word, and after Yan Fei heard about it, he also agreed very happily.

"I haven't been back to the God of War Continent for decades, and I don't know what the God of War Continent has become now?" Yan Wushuang and Meng Yao held hands, and since the two reunited, they had never been separated. Seeing his parents so loving, Yan Fei also felt satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

"Boss, this time we go back, is it to help Mrs. Zhu Rong resurrect the fire god Zhu Rong? By the way, Boss, you have to give me a bunch of godheads at that time, and I want to give my grandfather and make him a god-level powerhouse. Today, Xiao Muban counted with his fingers, as if he was counting how many godheads Yan Fei wanted to give him.

"Brother Fei! After returning to the God of War Continent this time, when the matter is done, why don't you get Yin Gu and them to the Tomb of the Gods? You also know that the environment on the God of War Continent has long been out of god-level powerhouses. ”

Everyone said one by one, and Yan Fei was a little confused when he heard it. It was Jiu'er and the little shooter beside him, who looked worried.

"Don't worry, I'll meet all your requirements when the time comes, so I'm finally sorry for everyone, right?" Yan Fei responded with a smile.

"Big brother, after returning to the God of War Continent this time, the little shooter and I plan to go back to the Land of the Nine Heavens and Stars. If you think of us later, come and see us from nine days away. Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then said, her words full of sadness. When the little shooter heard this, his face also became a little moved. If it had been a long time ago, he would have liked to leave Yan Fei's side as soon as possible, but over the past few days, the little shooter has gradually realized that he seems to have integrated into the circle around Yan Fei, and if there is no one by his side for a while, he will feel unaccustomed.

"Jiu'er, little shooter, don't worry, I'll come to see you when I have the chance. You have to cultivate hard and strive to reach a higher level of strength as soon as possible!" Yan Fei said with a smile, don't let him talk with a smile, but he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart. Over the years, Yan Fei has long regarded Jiu'er and the little shooter as his friends.

With Yan Fei's current strength, they soon came to the weak space between the Tomb of the Gods and the God of War Continent. After a burst of teleportation, Yan Fei and the others disappeared without a trace.

When they appeared, Yan Fei and the others had already returned to the Seven Absolute Secret Realms. According to his past memories, Yan Fei quickly flew away with everyone outside.

"I didn't expect it! After so many years, we actually came back from the Tomb of the Gods!" Yan Bo said with a sigh on his face, as soon as they entered the Tomb of the Gods, they chose to cultivate well in the land of Qiyan, and now, several of them have become cultivators of the lower gods.

"The world has changed, the vicissitudes of life, who can say clearly? I don't know how Fang Wei's old guy is doing now?"

"What else, I see that the Yan clan must be in chaos under his management, and on weekdays, he doesn't like to be in charge the most!" Yan Ning said with an affirmative expression.

However, Yan Hong seemed to be a lot calmer, usually, this guy has a lot of words.

After hearing Yan Bo's conversation and laughter, Yan Fei also smiled slightly, and then led everyone to the ground of the Seven Peerless Secret Realm! When Yan Fei saw the familiar scene behind the scenes, his heart suddenly had mixed feelings, it was still a familiar place, it was still a familiar taste.

Not long after Yan Fei and the others appeared in the Seven Absolute Secret Realms, one figure after another converged towards them. After a while, Yan Fei and the others were surrounded by many people.

See here. Yan Bo immediately stood up, and then shouted: "Bastard, don't you even remember me, the Great Elder?" Just a slight sense, Yan Bo realized that it was the children of the Yan clan who surrounded his group of people.

"Are you the Great Elder?" The next moment, a man in a straw hat jumped out of the crowd, and the man looked left and right, his eyes lingering on Yan Fei and the others for a long time. Immediately after, the man jumped up suddenly, and then shouted excitedly: "Sure enough, it's the Great Elder! Go and tell the Patriarch that the Great Elder is back!"

The straw hat man jumped and jumped, and then got up and flew to Yan Fei like an arrow. Before Yan Fei could react, this guy directly gave Yan Fei a bear hug.

"Brother Fei? What's the matter? I haven't seen you for so many years, don't you remember me? I'm Yan Lei!" said the straw hat man excitedly while hugging Yan Fei. After so many years, Yan Lei's height has grown a lot, if this guy's words and deeds are not so frivolous and exaggerated, he can be regarded as a mature and stable man.

"Are you Alei??" Yan Fei looked at the man in front of him in a daze, after being asked by Yan Fei like this, Yan Lei suddenly put on a steady look, and then shouted to the surrounding Yan clan disciples in a manner: "What do you all show me, your brother Lei Boss is back, don't you hurry up and see Brother Fei!"

After hearing Yan Lei drink like this, the Yan clan disciples on the sidelines immediately shouted in unison: "Brother Fei!"

After staying in the Seven Absolute Secret Realm for a few days, Yan Fei left here with everyone. During this period, Yan Wushuang and Meng Yao chose to stay in the land of Qiyan, Yan Zhen is Yan Wushuang's father, Yan Dan is Yan Wushuang's brother, after not seeing each other for such a long time, Yan Wushuang is naturally unwilling to leave his relatives. In the days when he was trapped in the Rain Immortal Palace, Yan Wushuang figured out a lot of things, his mind was smelted in loneliness, and many things that he couldn't figure out before, now he figured it out.

After leaving the Seven Absolute Secret Realms, Jiu'er and the little shooter flew towards the nine heavens away. People have parting, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and there is a feast in the world. Yan Fei promised Jiu'er and the little shooter that he would definitely go to Jiutian to find the two of them when he had time.

As soon as they came out of the Seven Peerless Secret Realms, Yan Fei and the others appeared in Tianlan City in the Land of the Holy Land. At this time, in the manor where Yan Dan was, Huangfu Xuan and others all arrived. Just when Yan Fei and the others returned to the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, the Yan clan sent someone to send the news of Yan Fei's return to the Feimeng.

At this moment, there were many people standing densely in the manor, and outside the manor, cultivators were densely packed all over the streets and alleys, and they also wanted to see who the alliance leader who had become a legend was. In today's God of War Continent, the Flying Alliance dominates the world.

Yan Fei was also overjoyed to see the familiar figures, and everyone chatted together for three days and three nights, and then roughly told them about the things over the years. After hearing the news of Yan Fei's return, Manqing, Yin Gu and the others also immediately put down the matter at hand and felt the land of the Holy Land with the help of the teleportation array.

With the help of the Flying Alliance, whether it is the Beast Clan, the Spirit Clan, or the Drill Rat Clan, they have all become the overlords of the God of War Continent, and they are undoubtedly many times more beautiful than back then.

After some discussion, everyone gradually recovered from joy to calm.

At this time, in the bamboo house where Huangfu Xuan was located. Yan Fei and Huang Fu Xuan sat opposite each other, and Huang Fu Xuan stared at Yan Fei with a light smile.

"Boy, over the years, you have grown to such a point, which I didn't expect!" After being silent for a while, Huang Fuxuan said.

Hearing Huangfu Xuan praise himself like this, Yan Fei also smiled embarrassedly, then looked at Huangfu Xuan and said: "Grandpa Huangfu, when you said that when I have god-level strength, I will be able to resurrect you, I think these words should just be you casually said, right? If you want to reforge your body, I'm afraid my current strength is not enough!"

After going through so much, Yan Fei also figured out a lot of things, and he knew that Huangfu Xuan still had a lot of things to hide from him.

Seeing Yan Fei say this, the smile on Huang Fuxuan's face did not decrease in the slightest, and he continued: "Ah Fei, I am also here to let you have a goal on the way to cultivation. But now it seems that my estimate of you was still low!"

"Grandpa Huangfu, what requirements do I need to meet in order to help you?" For Huangfu Xuan, Yan Fei's heart has always been grateful, it can be said that if there was no Huangfu Xuan, then Yan Fei would not be where he is today.

"Why are you in such a hurry, little guy, when you reach the God Emperor realm, come and ask me! Let's not talk about this anymore, I guess you still have a lot of doubts that have not been solved, right?" Huangfu Xuan said with deep meaning. Hearing this, Yan Fei was also stunned, when he was still weak, Huang Fu Xuan said that when he had god-level strength, he would be able to help him recover his body, and now Yan Fei had such strength, but Huang Fu Xuan actually set a higher goal for Yan Fei again. Although Yan Fei was confident that he could reach this level, he was not sure about the time.

"Grandpa Huangfu, you won't set a random goal for me this time, right?" Yan Fei looked at Huangfu Xuan with some hesitation.

"Haha! In fact, with your current strength, you can also help me reforge my body, but I have changed my attention now. I don't hide anything from you, when my physical body was destroyed, my own strength was in the God Emperor Realm, if you can help me when I am in the God Emperor Realm, then when I recover, my strength will not decline, this is also a little selfishness of mine!"

Hearing Huangfu Xuan say this, Yan Fei nodded slowly.

"Grandpa Huangfu, you sue me, is your real name Xuanyuan?" The next moment, Yan Fei began to ask Huangfu Xuan about the doubts in his heart. For example, why is there a rain order in the hands of Huangfu Xuan, the first person to try to recognize the Lord of the Yuxian Palace was Xuanyuan, is Xuanyuan Xuanyuan?

On this day, Yan Fei stayed with Huangfu Xuan and talked for a long, long time. Regarding Yan Fei's doubts, Huangfu Xuan also knew nothing, and after talking about it, Yan Fei's heart was not only heavy but also relaxed. All in all, Yan Fei's mood is complicated.

From Huangfu Xuan's words, Yan Fei learned many things that made him feel extremely shocked. For example, the Celestial God Realm, the Hades Realm, and other supreme planes, such as the Tomb of the Gods, are just a world space artifact made by a powerful Celestial God.

After staying in the Feimeng for a while, Yan Fei was ready to get up and go to the Ancient Domain, now he can't help Huangfu Xuan, that should help Mrs. Zhurong resurrect the fire god Zhurong, right? At the beginning, Yan Fei received a lot of help from Mrs. Zhurong, and Yan Fei also promised Mrs. Zhurong that when his strength became strong in the future, he would definitely help Mrs. Zhurong resurrect the fire god Zhurong.

"Ah Fei, don't think too much, the road is taken step by step! Grandpa Huangfu believes that as long as you keep going like this, one day, you will jump out of the cage of heaven and earth!" Before leaving, Huangfu Xuan looked at Yan Fei and said. Hearing this, Yan Fei nodded, and then left with Jin Xiaomu.

As for Tang Yan and the others, Yan Fei didn't take them with him this time. What Yan Fei didn't know was that not long after she left, Tang Yan and the others met Ya'er, and for this woman who had been childhood sweethearts with Yan Fei since she was a child, Tang Yan and the others quickly accepted her.

Under the traction of Qiankun Pan, Yan Fei and Jin Xiaomu came to the Ancient Domain. After a little investigation of consciousness, Yan Fei and Jin Xiaomu were stunned to find that the current ancient domain was not like the God of War Continent, which was unified by the Fei Alliance.

At this time, in the entire ancient domain, you can see the flames of war ascending to the sky everywhere, and in many places, the sound of fighting is constantly resounding. One by one, the cultivators, their strength is high or low, and they fight together.

"En, is it grandpa?" Jin Xiaomu's divine sense quickly discovered where Jin Chen and the others were, Yan Fei frowned slightly when he saw this, and the next moment, the figures of the two had disappeared without a trace.

"Mrs. Zhurong, don't be stubborn. Now that the entire Ancient Realm is unifying, if you go on like this, don't blame us for being cruel to you. "The one who spoke was a War Emperor level cultivator, and at this moment, behind this War Emperor, there were dozens of Emperor level cultivators, and a little farther away, countless cultivators were lined up.

Mrs. Zhurong sneered, and then said: "Dongxuan, I didn't expect that your group of people are not dead, but if I want Mrs. Zhurong to bow my head, I can tell you clearly, impossible!" Mrs. Zhurong said with a cold face, and beside her, Jin Chen also looked firm and looked like she was looking at death. At this moment, Jin Chen is in extremely poor condition, just after the battle, he has been injured a lot, and there are still a lot of blood stains that have not dried up at the corners of his mouth.

"Hmph, since you are so ignorant, then we are no wonder. Do it!" The man named Dongxuan glanced coldly at Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen on the city wall, and then waved his big hand, and the next moment, one by one, cultivators flew towards Tiansha City.

Looking at the army of cultivators that swept over like locusts, a flash of determination flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen. Over the years, the Ancient Domain has been uneventful, until later, when Dong Xuan appeared, this person was accompanied by a large group of cultivators, all of whom were masters of the emperor level. With lightning speed, they seized the four major regions of the Ancient Domain, namely the eastern, northern, southern, and central regions, and their inner cultivators, whether they surrendered or not, killed them with a wisp, and their methods were cruel and outrageous.

But when attacking the Western Regions, they encountered the stubborn resistance of Mrs. Zhurong and the Golden Tiger Shark clan, and once they turned down, they couldn't attack for a long time. But fortunately, there are many generals in Dongxuan, and they are grinding slowly, and I am afraid that Mrs. Zhurong and others will be grinded to death.

"Mrs. Zhurong! This time, we are afraid that we will not be able to escape. The only regret in my life is that when I died, I didn't see my grandson!" As he spoke, two lines of tears had fallen from Jin Chen's eyes, and when he thought of Jin Xiaomu, Jin Chen's heart couldn't help but tremble. After Jin Xiaomu returned to the Ancient Domain, Jin Chen planned to let Jin Xiaomu inherit the position of the patriarch of the Golden Tiger Shark Clan, but where could Jin Xiaomu endure such loneliness?

Seeing Jin Chen's posture, Mrs. Zhurong was also slightly stunned, didn't she still have regrets in her heart?

"Hey, you and I are sad people! To be able to die together today can be regarded as God's mercy on us. Mrs. Zhurong didn't say anything about her regrets, but Jin Chen knew after a little thought that Mrs. Zhurong's biggest regret was probably to resurrect her husband, the fire god Zhu Rong, right? Thinking of this, Jin Chen also smiled bitterly, a god-level powerhouse wants to be resurrected? How much strength does it take? He didn't say it all this time, he was actually not very optimistic about resurrecting Zhu Rong, although Yan Fei's appearance made them dumbfounded.

Just when Jin Chen and Mrs. Zhurong secretly sighed, the army led by Dong Xuan had already killed Tiansha City. One by one, the cultivators who rose up to resist fell one after another under various provocative attacks, and the entire Tiansha City was stained red with blood.

"Mrs. Zhurong, Jin Chen!

The next moment, Dong Xuan and a dozen other emperor-level cultivators divided into two ways to kill Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen also looked resolute. The few remaining divine powers in his body also stirred. Dozens of attacks came from not far away, and Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen knew very well in their hearts that with their current strength, it would be a little impossible to resist these attacks, but even if they died, they would die vigorously.

"Kill! Kill!"

Immediately after, the figures of Mrs. Zhurong and Jin Chen flew out directly, seeing that their attacks were about to collide with Dongxuan's moving attacks. But at this time, a shocking thing happened.

I saw that Dong Xuan and the others, who were still in a state of flying, were all frozen at this time, and they just kept the posture of flying, not moving, like statues.
