Seeing Hefina's resolute attitude in blocking them, many disciples of the Holy Yao Sect who were very respectful to Marlena hugged their heads and cried, venting their sad emotions to their heart's content.

Hefina witnessed such a chaotic and bleak scene, and there were ripples in her heart, and she looked at Marina's resolute figure, and the sorrow in her heart was self-evident. How she wanted to come to her immediately and heal her wounds at all costs, but she had to restrain her impulses at the moment.

Hefina knew that Master had always acted strictly by principles, and that her rash interference would only ruin her plans, and that only by watching what happened was the greatest respect for her.

Xuan Yu's eyes were filled with tears at this moment, and there was only one feeling in his heart now, and that was pain, heart-rending pain. He knelt down in front of Marina, tears falling down his cheeks, trying to control his emotions on the verge of losing control, but the endless sadness and guilt still made him whimper from time to time.

Completely ignoring the sharp pain that eroded her senses, Marlena allowed the wound in her lower abdomen to continue to bleed, consuming what little life she had left. She slowly bent down and helped Xuanyu, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping softly. Although her complexion was unusually pale due to blood loss, the smile on the corner of her mouth still did not fade, brilliant as a hundred flowers blooming, warm as the morning sun in winter.

"Why are you so sad, and why are you so remorseful? You didn't do anything wrong from the beginning to the end. Marina's voice, though weak and ethereal, could still reach Xuanyu's ears clearly.

"Alliance leader, I am a sinner of the Righteous Path Alliance, I can't forgive, you must not forgive me, you can't..." Xuan Yu kept shaking his head, as if he was crazy, and said in a hurried tone.

"I didn't blame you from the beginning, how to talk about the word 'forgive'. All of this I have done is out of my heart's will, and it is the only way to free you from the sea of suffering forever. Don't forget, my best skill is prophecy. Marina said word for word.

"How can the alliance leader exchange his noble life for me like this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Marina.

"There is no distinction between high and low in life, and besides, you are the only hope for the restoration of the righteous path in the future, and no matter what the cost, I must awaken you. Marina's voice was extremely firm, conveying her heart to Xuanyu.

"The only hope? Why would someone like me be a source of hope, I can't do anything. "Xuanyu can't even believe what Marlena said now, and just blindly denies himself.

Marina's voice sank slightly at this time, and she said, "Childe, have you forgotten the power that has awakened in your body, that kind of power can easily defeat the commander of the Black Mist Army." With such earth-shattering potential, why should Childe give up on himself. ”

The moment he heard this, Xuan Yu recalled the power of the ancient dragon, although he could no longer feel its existence now, but he did have it in the past. At this moment, Xuan Yucai finally began to understand the "only hope"

The meaning of the four words.

"Promise me that you must live strong and never give up hope anytime and anywhere. Don't pay attention to what the world says about you, just live up to what you believe in. ”

Xuan Yu heard a sense of farewell from these words, and the alarm bell in his heart suddenly rang, and he didn't dare to think about everything that would happen next.

A sense of foreboding, fear of the future, gradually flooded his mind, and he fell silent, not having the courage to answer Marina's request.

Seeing that Xuanyu lowered her head and said nothing, Marina did not force persuasion, but turned around and beckoned to Hefina standing behind, signaling her to come to her side.

Seeing that her master was summoning her, Hefina strengthened the barrier behind her that blocked the disciples of the Holy Yao Sect, and then cast a teleportation technique and quickly came to Marina's side.

"What is Master's order to summon his disciples?" asked Hefina.

"Hefina, from now on, the Prince of Xuan Yu will be entrusted to you to guard. You must not forget the mission left by your teacher, and you must be conscientious and not sloppy. ”

The moment Hefina heard this, the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart finally showed signs of bursting. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the mist in her beautiful eyes quickly gathered. However, Hefina obviously didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Xuan Yu, so she forcibly suppressed the sadness that was surging up in her heart, and forced back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.

"The disciple must live up to his mission, Master, don't worry. Hefina spoke firmly.

Before Marlena could reply, Xuan Yu suddenly pleaded with Hefina, "Please, save the Alliance Master, okay? Your cultivation is so profound, you must be able to heal her wounds, right?"

Hearing this, Hefina lowered her head and fell silent, not responding to Xuanyu. At this time, Marina spoke at the right time: "Xuanyu Gongzi, do you know why my hair changes color?"

Xuan Yu was stunned for a moment, this was indeed a question that bothered him, but he never found a chance to ask.

"Actually, this is my true appearance now, and I used spells to cover it up before. And only when the spiritual power is about to be exhausted, this spell will be automatically lifted. I had a mortal wound that could only be healed by my own water-based spells, and no one else was capable enough to save me from the fear of my life. However, now that my spiritual power is gone, I still need a stick of incense to recover, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive that time. ”

After speaking, Marlena slowly sat cross-legged on the snow, her body weakened and she had lost the strength to continue standing.

"How is it possible..."Xuan Yu also sat down on the snow decadently after hearing these words, his eyes were full of disbelief, he didn't want to believe it, let alone admit it. The next moment, maybe it's life and death.

"Master Xuanyu, can you promise me now, just as fulfilling my last wish, okay? I know it's selfish to restrain you like this, but this world always needs someone to protect it. ”

There was an apologetic look on Marina's face, and her tone was more like a plea than a request.

Xuan Yu didn't know how to answer, he didn't want to live up to Marina's trust and expectations of him, but he felt that he didn't have enough ability and a strong enough heart. He didn't know if he would be able to overcome the condemnation of his conscience, not to mention that endless slander and abuse from the world would await him in the future.

Marina suddenly stretched out a pair of jade hands, took Xuanyu's cold right hand, and held it tightly.

With severe blood loss and being in the middle of the ice, Marina's body should have run out of heat. But Xuan Yu felt the incomparable warmth from her palm, like bathing in the first rays of sunlight in the winter morning, all the cold in her body seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the frozen heart seemed to gradually melt in this light, wandering in the ocean of infinite warmth.

"No matter how much suffering there is in the future, as long as you are there, you will be able to get through it safely. Please believe me, and believe in yourself, you have the blood of a dragon, and there is no obstacle in this world that can stop you. ”

The voice was so gentle, yet so firm, that it hit the deepest part of Xuanyu's soul that he couldn't refuse.

"Alliance Master, leave everything in the future to me, and one day, I will lead the Righteous Path Alliance to smash the ambitions of the Demon Domain. Xuan Yu said this, but he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"With your words, I can rest assured. Xuanyu Gongzi, thank you, it's good to be able to know and know you in this life..."

Marina raised her head slightly, staring silently at the sky, conveying her heart to the incomparably distant world.

"My dearest goddess, you must be glad for me. This time, my singing is no longer the source of disaster, but a ray of light in the darkness. I saved him, and I redeemed myself, and I have had no regrets in my life. ”

“it’stimetoreturn... (It's time to go back)"

The moment the words fell, Marina slowly closed a pair of beautiful eyes.

Her body turned into a golden streamer in the next moment, gently rising into the sky, and in an instant, there was no trace of her. She left this world like this, leaving nothing behind. What will always reverberate in people's hearts is the pure singing voice of that day, which will never be endless.

"Alliance Leader—"

Xuan Yu shouted hoarsely, but he couldn't call Marlena back, she had left this world forever, never to return.

Xuan Yu knelt on the snow and cried bitterly, tears streaming down his eyes, like a desperate and helpless child who was abandoned by his parents, releasing his sad emotions to the fullest.

Suddenly there was a thunderclap above the clouds, which was very abrupt in this harsh winter season.

The winter thunder shook and shook the roar of the gods and the lament of the destiny of heaven.

The goose feather snow that had just disappeared fell again and seemed to never stop. this

The temperature between the heavens and the earth continued to drop, and it was no different from the cold land of the extreme north.

The body is gradually frozen, and the heart has condensed. God seems to want time to be sealed forever in this moment and no longer flow.

The snow is flying all over the sky, and it is the tears of God's sorrow, drop by drop, sprinkling endless desolation all over this world.

The scales of fate began to tilt from this moment, as if they were no longer equal, no longer just. The Righteous Path Alliance had already collapsed the moment it lost its leader.

Xuantian listened carefully to Xuanyu's account of what happened at the beginning, and felt like he was on that battlefield, witnessing everything happening in front of him as a member of the Righteous Path Alliance. When he heard Xuanyu talk about this, Xuantian's eyes also began to redden, and he was deeply infected by that sad emotion.

"After that?" Xuantian asked out loud when he saw that Xuanyu had stopped and did not continue.

Xuan Yu shook his head and sighed: "Soon after the death of the Alliance Leader, Luo Sha, who was rescued by his subordinates, returned to the battlefield and withdrew the Measuring Tribulation Blade, and Luo Sha saw that the Alliance Master had disappeared from the battlefield, so he ordered the Black Mist Army to launch a general attack. At that time, Brother Night proposed that Hefina and I should protect the weak disciples and escape, while he led the rest to fight the Black Mist Army to the death. Master, uncles, uncles, and uncles, as well as many members of the Righteous Path Alliance, all agreed to Brother Ye's proposal, but I objected, I did not want to be a deserter on the battlefield, I wanted to stay, live and die with them. But Hefina's words put me in a dilemma, and she told me not to forget the oath I had just made with the leader. ”

Xuan Tian then interjected: "Then how did you choose at that time?"

Xuan Yu smiled bitterly: "I have no choice, Hefina saw that I was hesitant, so she forcibly took me away. At that time, my true qi had dried up, and I had no power to resist. Hefina ordered the disciples of the Holy Yao Sect to apply the 'Wind Walking Technique' to all those who escaped, greatly increasing the speed of our travel. I was led madly eastward by Hefina, followed closely by more than three hundred disciples who had chosen to escape voluntarily or compulsorily, and we arrived here two hours later. Hefina seemed to have known for a long time that only this remote town, with its vast land and sparsely populated resources, could become the home of these more than 300 members of the Alliance. Hefina told us who we were to the townspeople, who welcomed us and thought we could bring prosperity to the town. ”

Xuan Yu took a sip of the teacup at this time, and continued: "After Hefina settled us properly, she left alone, and soon after, we were summoned by Hefina to say that she had taken over as the head of the Holy Yao Sect, and informed us of the final outcome of the melee. The Black Mist Army won a complete victory, and although it lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, it wiped out the entire Righteous Path Alliance, and no one survived. ”

When he said this, the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence, and the scene of about one cup of tea was maintained. The two of them didn't say a word, and there was silence in the four fields, and the needles could be heard.

In the end, it was Xuantian who took the lead in speaking: "In the past few months, you..."

How to phrase it.

At this time, Xuan Yu immediately answered: "I know what you want to ask. The Black Mist Army returned to the Demon Domain after that melee, and it only took seven days to adjust and make a comeback. They led an army to invade Dongsheng Divine Continent, and for a while, their lives were devastated, but the remnants of the righteous path were no longer enough to confront the Black Mist Army head-on. So Hefina, Xuanji Zhenren, and I gathered together to think about countermeasures, and finally decided to establish shelters in various remote places in Dongsheng Divine Continent that were inaccessible to people, and do our best to evacuate the people before the Black Mist Army attacked. Although this method worked, it was still only a drop in the bucket, and the number of residents of Dongsheng Divine Continent who were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Black Mist Army probably exceeded 50,000. Thankfully, however, the Rashasa began to get bored after the slaughter had passed, and instead of slaughtering, he just let his subordinates seize control of the various cities, and the losses were finally contained after that. Now that the forces of the Demon Domain have occupied the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent, Luo Sha has recently begun to prepare to lead his army to the North Julu Continent. In the past few months, the remaining forces of our Righteous Path Alliance have been hiding in the shadows, cautious, acting at the opportune opportunity, and not daring to reveal their identities in front of the Black Mist Army, for fear that the last bit of resistance will also be completely wiped out. We can only watch them attack the city and plunder the land but can do nothing, this feeling is really indescribable, and the anger can only be held in our hearts, and there is no way to vent it. ”

Xuantian bowed his head slightly when he heard this, but at this time he suddenly remembered something, but he stopped again just halfway through his words.

"And what happened to you on the battlefield..."

"Do you want to know the repercussions of my demonization in the world? Indeed, just as the Alliance Leader had guessed, I was reviled and criticized by the world, who described me as a heinous sinner, and recorded my 'betrayal of the Righteous Path Alliance' in the history books, with the aim of leaving me in the stench for 10,000 years. But luckily, the members of the Alliance and the townspeople I spent all day and night knew who I was, and they never suspected me of being used by the enemy. This unconditional trust really touched me and helped me to come out of despair. Xuan Yu responded.

"It's really reassuring to have a group of people like that around. By the way, you haven't mentioned the final fate of those demonized Shangwutang disciples. Xuantian asked.

"All of them have severely damaged the meridians by the dark elements in their bodies, and there is no survivor of them, and I am the only survivor after being demonized. Maybe it's the 'Dragon's Blood' that protects me, but since that battle, that power hasn't been seen again, as if what I had been through was just an illusion. Xuan Yu said this, with a disappointed look on his face.

"I'm sure you'll get that power back, and now I'm a member of the Righteous Path Alliance, and I'm also tasked with saving the world. As long as all the members of the Righteous Path Alliance can work together, they will definitely be able to drive the demons out of this world. Xuantian stood up and said with an oath.

"From the moment you appeared in front of my eyes, I had the same hunch, I found in you a different kind of power, that is exactly the strength we need, and the time has finally come for the Righteous Path Alliance to fight back. ”
