"Squeak. The sound of the stone house opening broke the silence of midnight, and an old figure hesitated into the dilapidated stone house.

Xu Yan sat on the edge of the stone bed, did not open his eyes, did not respond, and did not have the strength to pay attention to it.

At this point, she was almost numb, and she didn't dare to hope for anything more.

But after waiting for a long time, what I waited for was not reprimands and ridicule, not roars and scolding, but a faint sigh: "Child...... Bone Clan...... I'm sorry you ......."

Xu Yan's heart moved slightly, he opened his tired eyes, and it was the acting patriarch Xu Ye standing in the room, but compared to the majesty and wisdom during the day, he seemed to be a lot older, and he was a lot more tired, which was very obvious.

"Today's incident has made you see a joke. Xu Yewu walked to the seat in the corner of the stone house, waved the dust on it, and sat down slowly, he was really tired, and even his voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was also haggard, physically and mentally exhausted. She didn't have much intersection with Xu Ye, and she didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit. But it seems to ...... It's a little different from everyone else......

Xu Ye didn't dare to look at Xu Yan's eyes, lowered his eyes, and looked at the thick dust on the floor in a daze, under the candlelight, the old figure looked so lonely.

For a long time...... For a long time......

"You have been wandering outside for all these years, and you can finally recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you should have been sheltered, but you have seen the situation of the bone clan, it has only been a few months, and so many things have happened, this is the will of God. ”

Xu Ye's sighing voice broke the peace in the stone house.

"It's been so many years in a blink of an eye, and the people of the bone clan below don't know the situation, they insist on the pride they once had, but the high-level people are tired and can't hold on.

All along, some of us old men knew very well that the Bone Clan was beginning to decline, but we didn't expect it to have fallen to this kind of Cheng dù. This disaster actually crushed the entire Bone Clan, and it was beaten in pieces. ”

Xu Yan looked at Xu Ye quietly, her cold and hard heart was touched a little, she still didn't know the purpose of Xu Ye's coming, but the other party's sentimental and chatter-like tone made her feel a little calmer, but she didn't know what to say.

Xu Ye shook his head weakly: "Actually, many years ago, we old guys knew that the Bone Emperor was dead, but we didn't dare to leak the news, and tried our best to create the illusion of the Bone Emperor's retreat, and we also deliberately showed the strength of the Bone Clan.

But in fact, we are afraid of mistakes.

The more powerful we are on the outside, the more cautious we are in our hearts.

For tens of thousands of years, it has been disguised...... Disguised ...... Tired...... Really tired......

Some old fellows complained that the Bone Emperor would say goodbye, but was the Bone Emperor willing to leave? Was he willing to abandon the Bone Clan, which had been maintained for tens of thousands of years? This was his root, and he might leave as a last resort? Will he be able to go until he was forced to do so?

I can't imagine the pain of the Bone Emperor leaving, but I understand his choice. He left alone, probably looking for a chance to recover, and one day in the future he could return to the peak and return to the Bone Clan, even if the Bone Clan was ruined by then, his return could also revive the Bone Clan. Unfortunately, he failed and couldn't come back. ”

Xu Ye seemed to be explaining something, and it seemed that he was talking to himself, or he wanted to pour out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for too long and too long, so that he was a little out of tune.

He was distracted, tired, and lost in his own thoughts.

"The Bone Clan has developed into today's situation, we old guys are all responsible, it's unbearable to say, we are all sinners of the Bone Clan. But back then, after we confirmed the fall of the Bone Emperor, we panicked, really panicked.

The Bone Emperor is gone, leaving behind such a large ethnic group, and we are in the bloody abandoned battle realm, any accident may push us into the abyss.

This is a feeling that outsiders can't experience.

In the first few years, we really don't know how we got through it.

Later, accepting the reality and finding a strategy, we told ourselves that no matter what, we must let the millions of people of the Bone Clan live. We tried our best to maintain the dignity of the bone clan, and carefully cared for it, for fear of accidents, but we were too careful to ...... As for ignoring a lot of things, doing a lot of things wrong.

But after stumbling and going through dangers, we have persevered for tens of thousands of years and persevered to this day.

Who will judge whether it is right or wrong?

As for the exclusive use of this child...... Alas...... He's actually very good, and we ruined him.

Unlike other ancient clans, the Bone Clan does not have an emperor, and the strength of the Bone Clan is camouflaged, it is very fragile and cannot withstand bumps. We value this child too much, and we have placed too much hope on it, so that we are arrogant and doting, for fear that something will happen to him, for fear that something will happen to him, for fear that something will happen to him.

Even if he was allowed to go out to practice, it was voted on by the whole clan meeting, and a strong man was secretly sent to guard it.

You can say that we are wrong, but we really can't afford to fail, and we can't afford to die. Because...... We can't hold on anymore, and we focus on this hope that must rise in the short term to support the bone clan that is about to collapse.

All along, we have been trying to find a way to remedy it, hoping to change his personality, make him more courageous, more responsible, and can really take on the heavy responsibility of the rise of the bone clan, what about him, it can be regarded as cooperation, but ...... The heavens didn't give us a chance, the bone clan collapsed, and we really walked to the edge of the cliff, half of our feet already hanging in the air. ”

Xu Ye sat silently, looking at the ground in distraction, and spoke incoherently.

I don't know when his hands have been clenched, his eyes are hazy, his voice is vaguely not quite right, is it hoarse or choked?

Xu Yan opened his mouth: "Ye Lao, you ......"

Xu Ye took a deep breath, raised his head slowly, looked at the dilapidated roof, and suddenly smiled, the smile was desolate, and tears hazy his eyes: "Xu is tired...... The Bone Clan is finished...... It's over......"

"Ye Lao, don't be like this. Xu Yan quickly got out of bed.

"The Bone Clan is finished...... It's over......"

Xu Yan wanted to appease, but ...... Xu Ye got up slowly, and suddenly fell to his knees, kneeling in front of Xu Yan so straight, tears bursting out of his eyes.

This scene made Xu Yan shocked, and for a while, he was at a loss.

Xu Ye's love seemed to be out of control, he knelt on the ground, old tears, he was laughing, but he was crying, he seemed to be insisting, but he had collapsed.

"The bone clan is finished, it's really finished, I've been fighting for it for tens of thousands of years, but it really can't hold on. It wasn't the Heavenly Demon Emperor who defeated it, it was us who abolished ourselves.

This scene tonight gave me a glimpse of its future, and it really doesn't work.

I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed of the Bone Clan, I'm ashamed of the Bone Emperor, I'm ashamed of these millions of people.

The moment the patriarch was split by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, he shouted a word to me, and he said......"

Xu Ye cried like a child, crying like an ordinary old man, he choked and trembled: "The patriarch said...... He said......"

"Ye Lao, don't be like this, if you have anything to say, stand up and say it. Xu Yan wanted to pull Xu Ye up, but Xu Ye knelt straight and pushed her hard.

The patriarch said...... He said...... Elder Ye, promise me...... Even if it's kneeling, let the Bone Clan hold on! We can be spineless, but the Bone Clan can't break the roots!"

He said...... He said...... He had always fantasized about ...... Fantasizing that the Bone Emperor is still alive...... What if the Bone Emperor comes back one day...... At least...... At least there's a home......"

Xu Ye couldn't cry and grabbed his chest.

Xu Yan's heart shrank fiercely, she pursed her mouth tightly, and tried her best to endure it, but Ye Lao's voice trembled and made her tears burst out of her eyes, and she froze there, her heart like a knife.

Xu Ye trembled and shook Xu Yan's hand: "You are a member of the Bone Clan, you have been out alone for so many years, you have the bloody nature that all our Bone Clan people have lost, you are the hope of our Bone Clan." ”

"Ye Lao, you stand up first......"

"Promise me! Xu Yan, promise me!" Xu Ye was very excited, his face was full of tears, but he grabbed Xu Yan's hand: "I will give you the last hope of the bone clan, you promise me, keep it, and live." I know that I am imposing these pains and responsibilities on you because I am too incompetent as an elder, but the Bone Clan has reached the edge of the cliff, and I ...... I beg you......"

Xu Ye suddenly bent down towards Xu Yan, his forehead hit the ground heavily, and his dull voice echoed in the simple and empty stone house.

"Ye Lao, don't be like this!!" Xu Yan tears rained down and knelt in front of him.

"There is no hope for this decaying race, and it must go through a baptism of death before it can find new hope. I don't know if I did the right thing to do, but now it's a gamble. I believe that the patriarch chose you for his own reasons.

I've been wrong all my life, this time...... I must not be wrong again, otherwise I will have the face to meet the dead patriarch and the Bone Emperor.

You go quickly, leave tonight, escape from this bloody and bone forbidden area, escape from this northern frontier, and escape from this rotten family. I don't care where you go, but please promise me to live.

I am the acting patriarch of the Bone Clan, I can't abandon it, I must guard it until it is destroyed, even if it is delayed for a day and a night, I am considered to be faithful.

My old man still has some family background, three saints, five half-saints, fifteen venerables, and a large number of treasures in the forbidden land, as well as ...... And also...... They're picking out some kids, kids who are qualified, and you're going to take them with you. ”

"Ye Lao, I can't ...... like this"

"Promise me!!" Xu Ye suddenly roared and shouted, his eyes full of tears stared at Xu Yan, gritting his teeth and trembling: "Promise me! Promise me!"

"I ......"

"I had a glimmer of hope for the Skeleton Clan, but tonight I saw through it and I shouldn't be holding on to my mistakes. Xu Zhuanzhu can't bring hope to the bone clan, and the current bone clan will be covered in rotten flesh even if it is reborn.

The bloodiness of the bone clan has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and now, it must be picked up, and it is up to you to pick it up. Promise me, boy, count me in...... Please......"

"I ...... I promised...... "Xu Yan waited hard for the last conscience of the bone clan, but what he was waiting for was ...... It's such an unbearable task......

She didn't communicate much with Xu Ye, but she had only a few contacts, at least she knew that he was a strong and domineering person, with the arrogance of an iron-blooded soldier, and even more with the pride of a race marshal, but ......

Today, these two diametrically opposed scenes pierced her heart deeply.

What kind of despair, what kind of grief, made Xu Ye collapse to this point?!

So much so that he cried without an image, kneeling and kowtowing to a junior.

What kind of pain and desolation is behind the extreme approach?!

I thought I was suffering grievances, but Xu Ye was heavier and more painful.
