Chapter 456: The Dead

Since the foundation stone of the Yanwu fell, the jubilant sound that soared into the sky has endured for a long time.

The heads of several major families, as well as hundreds of thousands of survivors, were all immersed in this boiling ocean. A heart-rending laugh, a roar, a wail...... In the continuous cluster of dock forts, one after another.

Finally, won.

This long suffering has finally come to an end.

Every person who has survived to this day knows what the white stone tablet that stands in front of the dock fort means. With it, the desolate demons will no longer be able to invade the Yanwu, and the surviving people will no longer have to live under the haze of fear of being polluted by the desolation all day long, and the Fenghu Lake, on which the Yanwu relies to maintain its prosperity, will gradually return to its clarity and aura.

More importantly, those who have passed away will also rest in peace.

And those who cause the tragedy with their own hands will pay the price.

This is the meaning of the cornerstone of the wasteland, and it is also the vision that Lu Zhiyao made to all the survivors when she first came to Yanwu. During this period of time, in the face of the Hades Sect on the lake, not only Lu Zhiyao and Qin Muzhou were desperately resisting, but hundreds of thousands of Yanwu people were also doing their best.

Yanwu accelerated the completion of the condensation of the foundation stone of the wasteland in two days, not only because Qin Muzhou burned his own origin, but also because hundreds of thousands of Yanwu people burned their own hard work.

And now, the fruit of hard work has finally ripened.

Where, then, is the one who should stand on the highest and lead the people to reap the harvest and celebrate victory?

At the Yanwu wharf, an old man in light armor swept the breeze and landed behind Qin Muzhou.

The old man's surname is Qi, he is the head of the Qi family, Qi Mingxiu, after Bai Jingya's death, the Bai family completely lost power in Yanwu, and the Qi family is the first family of Yanwu.

The head of the first family, now more than 500 years old, is almost the first in the Yanwu, and the combined cultivation is enough to be called an ancestor in the Kyushu continent, and now he is jointly elected by the six major families of Yanwu as the main person, and came to invite the immortal to return to the throne.

Qi Mingxiu was full of excitement when he came, and on the way to the wind, he seemed to see a splendid future that belonged to Yanwu and the beginning. After this battle, the barren will be defeated, and Yanwu, as the pinnacle of the great cause of the deer immortals, may be able to become the spiritual mountain of the new era! And the Qi family, as a hero of the dragon in the decisive battle, has countless benefits......

However, when he landed, Qi Mingxiu felt an inexplicable sad wind blowing out the heat in his heart.

Looking at the crumbling figure in front of him, the old man was both in awe and a little puzzled. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked first, "Immortal Chief, do you need to take some elixir to recuperate?" Although the pills in the dock fort are exhausted, each family should still have some ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Muzhou shaking his head and sighing: "No need, I'm just a little tired, and then ...... Anyway, what's the matter with me? ”

Qi Mingxiu hurriedly said: "Immortal Chief, now that the foundation stone of the Yanwu Determination Wasteland has been completed, the Desolate Demon Baiwuhou has also been defeated and retreated...... All the people of Yanwu are waiting for you, and Lu Xianzun's instructions. ”

Qin Muzhou was silent for a while, and said, "Senior Sister Lu, she ...... Take a step ahead, and you should all see it. ”

Qi Mingxiu nodded, and his heart was even more puzzled.

After the cornerstone of the Determination Waste fell, everyone saw Lu Zhiyao on the front line of the dock, rising into the sky like a retrograde meteor and heading west.

After a long decisive battle, she was obviously covered with devastation, and the immortal yuan was vain, and she couldn't even perfectly deal with the bone-scraping wind after flying into the Gangfeng layer...... But I don't know why I'm in such a hurry to leave.

But Lu Zhiyao's actions have always been unexpected, and now that the overall situation has been decided, some of Immortal Venerable's quirks are naturally harmless. It's a pity that Lu Zhiyao can't be invited to announce victory in public, but what's the difference between Qin Muzhou?

"I ...... I'm not going to go. Qin Muzhou shook his head, "Senior sister is in a hurry, I'd better go and have a look, the matter of Yanwu, everything is up to you, these days, you are well organized, it should be you...... Sorry, I'm going to be one step ahead. ”

In the second half of the words, although Qin Muzhou's tone was steady, he was obviously a little anxious, and before he finished saying these comforting words, he also rose up, leading a white cloud in the sky to fall to the ground, and then galloped west like a dragon.

Qi Mingxiu saw that the other party was obviously also holding on to his injuries and hurried with all his might, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. But soon he banished those ridiculous ideas from his mind.

The overall situation of this battle has been decided, don't think nonsense, arrange the celebration banquet of Yanwu, and wait for the return of the immortal venerable. And now he should take advantage of Immortal Zun's absence to actively consolidate his powerful position, after all, just now Qin Muzhou personally said that everything was up to him.

At the same time, in the clouds, Qin Muzhou looked back and looked down at the smoke dock, and the sadness in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, and in an instant, the surrounding white clouds were dyed black, and the clear sky seemed to overturn thick ink, and the dark clouds overlapped.

——

And hundreds of miles west of Qin Muzhou, Lu Zhiyao had already come to Songjiabao first.

From the sky, the fortress on the south bank of the Blood River was still stable and flawless, and the brown shield supported by the mountain protection array was round and clear, like tangible glass. However, when Lu Zhiyao landed, the fear and uneasiness in the castle were as pervasive and boiling as substance.

The moment she landed, many people gathered around, gossiping and making noise.

"Lu Xianzun, you must save us!"

"The stele shattered suddenly, we really didn't do anything, it shattered itself!"

"You, didn't you say before that what kind of foundation stone can be immortal, why ......?"

"Can this desolate thing really work, Immortal Venerable, you must not harm us, we all choose to follow the ......"

Lu Zhiyao gritted her teeth, forcibly pressed the impetuosity in her heart, ignored the noise around her, and directly locked on to a confused woman on the periphery of the crowd. That is Song Kite's aunt, although there are many problems, but she takes care of Song Kite on weekdays, almost the same as her adoptive mother.

"Song Shen! Come here! ”

An order containing immortal edicts directly separated the crowd and grabbed the woman in front of him.

"Where's Song Kite?!"

The woman who was named and questioned was starless, as if she couldn't understand Lu Zhiyao's question, and only muttered in her mouth: "It's bad, it's completely bad." I should have known that I should not have stayed in Songjiabao, and I should have gone to the north shore for refuge a long time ago, I would have known ......"

"Song Shen's!"

However, even if Lu Zhiyao sent out the immortal edict for the second time, Song Shen still couldn't return to his soul, but in the constant muttering, his eyes gradually turned white, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with pitch-black foam.

"Hmph......" Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down her emotions and returned to the necessary rationality.

Now the cornerstone of Songjiabao is inexplicably shattered, and the situation is basically gone. Because once the foundation stone of the Determination Waste is broken, it cannot be reshaped at all with the current means, and this kind of treasure that unites the hearts of the Heavenly Dao people is a big gamble that will become benevolent if it does not succeed. And the failure of the gamble means that the key location occupied by Song Jiabao has been lost and fallen into the control of the barren. Now these walking corpses around him have been devoured by the shattering of the Dinghuang Stone, and they already seem to have signs of turning into a wasteland.

As for the smoke dock...... Hanging alone, a single cornerstone can't achieve the abyss map, and it is already a situation that is difficult to support alone. The follow-up will be the comeback of the Hades Sect.

However, for Lu Zhiyao, even if things have come to this point, it is not unacceptable.

Mozhou's strategy of fixing the famine is important, but compared to the belonging of Mozhou, Lu Zhiyao actually really values the little point that was born in Mozhou but enjoyed the essence of Kyushu's luck.

It is by no means selfish preference, but Song Yuan really has an extremely valuable quality, which is far superior to any cultivation talent, and it is even more important in this troubled world...... And Lu Zhiyao searched all over Kyushu and read all over the people, and Song Yuan was almost a unique case.

Therefore, Mozhou can be lost, but Song Kite cannot.

However, if Song Kite is unharmed, how can this foundation stone of Song Jiabao suddenly shatter? Although the child is young, she is very mature and sophisticated, how to use the resources in the fort to protect the foundation stone of the wasteland, she has done her true inheritance. Even if she encounters any unexpected situation, she should at least have the ability to notify Lu Zhiyao in time.

However, Lu Zhiyao learned that the fire in the backyard was caused by the invisible ripples when the foundation stone of the Dinghuang was broken, and the warning from Song Yuan never came.

What's even worse is that now Lu Zhiyao is already in Songjiabao, but she can't sense Song Kite's location!

As the person Lu Zhiyao values the most, Song Yuan has always been full of various immortal magic weapons to save her life and escape, and these magic weapons have a secret connection with Lu Zhiyao herself. Therefore, even if Song Kite is dead, at least Lu Zhiyao should be able to feel where her body is.

Unless it's ......

Unless it is!

Lu Zhiyao really didn't want to think about the only possibility, so only when she fully recovered her rationality could she decisively imprint that possibility into her mind, admit it, accept it, and use it as the basis to think about subsequent changes.

In the most pessimistic situation, when Song Kite still can't protect himself by relying on the magic weapon of the whole body, there will be several options as a last resort...... Among them, all traces were lost, leaving no traces, which means that she took the initiative to choose her burial place based on various considerations.

Located in the cracks of the Sumeru Cave Heaven in Songjiabao, a slight miss is enough to make the immortals fall into it.

It was a wonder of the cave that was formed by the catastrophe, and now only two people know its existence, one is Song Kite, and the other is Lu Zhiyao. Once the pre-arranged cave spirit object is activated and teleported into the gap, all immortal methods will be cut off and traced, so Lu Zhiyao will not be able to sense its location.

But since this possibility is confirmed, going to that gap is just a thought for Lu Zhiyao.

The next moment, Lu Zhiyao swayed the immortal yuan, tore open an inch of space in front of her, and the whole person turned into rainbow light and drilled into that inch of door.

Behind the door is the gap peach source attached to the Songjiabao Sumeru Cave.

It's called Taoyuan, but it looks like a small, bare cave, and a glass lamp hangs from the top of the cave, which shines with a gentle light, making the space here slightly wider. And in the soft light, a little girl in a red dress stood with her back on her back.

The back was the same as before the separation, but when Lu Zhiyao saw her, her heart was heartbroken, and she couldn't help bleeding from her eyes.

Because of that skinny little bit, he could no longer turn around lightly and show her an innocent smile.

I couldn't blink my curious eyes anymore and listen to her tell the bizarre story of the time before.

There is no longer a way to command those family elders in the name of Lu Zhiyao like a little adult, and then complete one complicated work after another in the eyes of people in amazement.

Song Yuan can no longer grow up, can no longer become mature and charming, become smart and powerful, and can no longer bloom the brilliance that Lu Zhiyao expects.

She's dead.

What remained in this gap was only a cold and immobile back.

And even this back is just the only remaining beauty that she tried her best to leave to Lu Zhiyao.

When Lu Zhiyao slowly walked around in front of Song Yuan, what she saw was no longer that green but beautiful face.

It's like a melting candle...... The flesh, muscles, bones, and seven orifices on the face were all mixed together, and then they slipped down.

The face that belonged to the girl no longer exists in the world.

And this is the most severe symptom of desolation.

Body, mind, soul, and ...... Everything that belongs to her is resisting the desolation to the death, and then, all the ruins left behind by the destruction of the desolate poison are the scene that Lu Zhiyao saw.

In addition, all the immortal treasures on Song Kite's body were like cold corpses, maintaining their original appearance and hanging on her body...... But he no longer has the slightest spirituality.

Lu Zhiyao was silent for a long time, and the blood and tears on her cheeks suddenly sneered, and they were evaporated into smoke by the extremely high temperature.

Lu Zhiyao lit a fire in her heart, which quickly evaporated her blood and tears, blurred the scars on her body, and burned all the hesitation in her heart.

Then, the fire spread, igniting Song Kite's corpse, and the little girl left only a small piece of dust in the fire.

The small dust was quickly burned out, leaving only a clear shadow in Lu Zhiyao's mind.

Song Kite chose this place to leave such traces...... Although she didn't have time to say a word to Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao heard everything she wanted to say.

In silence, time passed bit by bit, Lu Zhiyao suddenly raised her head and said in a low voice: "Since you're here, don't cover it up senselessly, come and meet." ”

“……”

Behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, as if he was hesitating in place.

Lu Zhiyao urged: "Bai Cheng." ”

After being named, the man finally made up his mind and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao.

"Senior Sister...... We've seen you for a long time. ”
