"I really admire that you would make such a choice, or rather, I really appreciate that you would make such a choice. ”

When Lin Yi and the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty said that they were afraid that they would rush back to the Southern Dynasty soon, on a hill not far from Tianwu River, in a parked carriage, Ah Chai Zhen glanced at the already calm sky outside Tianwu River, and then Bai Yuelu, who was sitting opposite him in the carriage, said very seriously.

In fact, on the plains outside the Tianwu River, the meaning of the words of Lin Yi and the Northern Wei Emperor is easy to guess.

Time waits for no one, he must make a breakthrough in his cultivation as soon as possible, or have some means to limit the power of the Demon Sect as soon as possible.

The news from Bai Yuelu and the remnants of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be asked to the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As Yuan Yan guessed, the battle between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Achai Chen's side did not break out, just like Achai Chen's words of thanks at this time, it was indeed because of Bai Yuelu's choice.

The Northern Relic Clan had already suffered a great loss of vitality in the previous battle with the Yuan Dao people, and when she found that she had been heavily surrounded by Achai Chen's army, Bai Yuelu quickly made the choice of taking herself hostage in exchange for the safety of those in the Northern Relic Clan.

For this, Achaizhen is indeed a little grateful.

He knew very well that the reason why he was able to negotiate terms with the He clan was because of the power in his hands.

Practitioners have the role of practitioners, and the army also has irreplaceable uses.

He certainly cherished the army he had in his hands.

No matter how much vitality the Northern Relic Clan is, if Bai Yuelu wants to make the choice of killing the fish, with the strength of the Northern Relic Clan, the army and cultivators he has, I don't know how many casualties there will be.

After losing so many troops and cultivators, it is unknown whether he will still be qualified to talk to the descendants of Emperor You.

"I knew you were very ambitious and smart when I was in the party, so I'm glad you accepted my offer. Bai Yuelu looked at Achai Zhen calmly and said, "It's just that I don't know what choice you will make next." ”

Achai smiled.

As early as when he was in the party, he already knew that Bai Yuelu was like a military advisor of the Tie Ce Army, and he understood that this young female cultivator was not simple, and when Bai Yuelu's identity had a special change and became the successor of the Northern Wei Dynasty's relict clan, he did not dare to despise this young female cultivator.

He and Bai Yuelu are enemies, but Bai Yuelu's behavior can be talked about everywhere, which makes him appreciate each other more and more.

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, I appreciate your approach, and no one is born to be enemies of others, to be honest, I do not have a real grudge against you and General Lin. So at the end of the day, what I'm looking for is what I deserve. I have been operating in Tuyuhun for many years, and if I hadn't joined the party without Tie Cejun's entry into the party, I would have been able to become the actual controller of Tuyuhun in a year or two at the latest. But I also know that the world is impermanent, and this world is always a world that can only be controlled by the strong, so of course I don't have any insoluble hatred for you and General Lin. ”

He looked at Bai Yuelu, and said sincerely without hiding what he thought in his heart: "At the beginning, I chose to cooperate with the Demon Sect because he was the controller of Mobei, and he could decide many things about the party and Tuyuhun, but now, even if the current battle situation on the side of Tianwu River seems to be extremely unfavorable to the descendants of the Youdi Emperor, it is a little unlikely that I will turn my head and join the Demon Sect." ”

"Of course, I think that if purely from the winning side, Guan Longhe lost to the Northern Wei Emperor in this war, and then they may not have much chance of winning if they want to deal with the Demon Sect, but many things that have happened since the Demon Sect defected from the Northern Wei Dynasty back to the Southern Dynasty before the Demon Sect has made me see it thoroughly that the Demon Sect is walking in the world, and he no longer needs to rely on others at all, he is the real lone wolf in the snowfield. The power he had spent his own effort to cultivate would be given up by him without any distress, and what he promised, I am afraid that even he himself would not care if he could fulfill it. ”

Achai laughed self-deprecatingly, "As his strength is stronger now, so strong that anything can be solved with his power, he doesn't need to exchange interests with others." ”

Bai Yuelu nodded and said, "So although you know that the situation of the descendants of Emperor Youdi is a little unpleasant, you still want to cooperate with them for the time being." ”

"I need to wait, too. ”

Achaichen glanced at her and said seriously: "So I should thank you even more, because your choice at least retains the hope of letting me talk to you and General Lin." ”

Bai Yuelu laughed slightly, and said, "Then before the situation is clear, you must not have any accidents with me, you should know very well why this is." ”

Ah Chai laughed self-deprecatingly again, and said, "Of course I understand, a person who went to kill the prince of the Southern Dynasty for the sake of ordinary sergeants in the army....who would be as crazy as him." ”

......

Merchant ships have docked.

When the people on the boat remembered the man who had often sat at the bow of the boat, when their eyes fell on the bow again, they were surprised to find that the man was long gone.

The Demon Sect walks through the busy streets.

He looked a little slouched.

This laziness is from the inside out, and everything seems to be slower for him than before.

Before going overseas to hunt down Shen Nian, he didn't have the slightest free time, his time was more precious than anyone else.

He doesn't give himself any time to rest, and he even wishes he could do a lot of things at the same time.

The more this was the case, the more he felt that time was flowing quickly.

However, on that island, he was motionless, and after encountering the shepherdess, time seemed to slow down suddenly.

And now that he was back on land, he felt even more idle.

For the first time, he had the feeling that there was nothing to do.

Of course he understands why.

For many years, he had a formidable enemy, and if he slackened a little, he could be killed at any time.

He will

You have to keep getting stronger.

Even before he went to hunt down Shen Nian, he didn't know what kind of enemy he was going to encounter at sea, and what kind of threat was waiting for him.

However, now, even though Shen Nian was not dead, he was sure that Shen Nian was too far away from him.

He also had a powerful killing weapon like the Nine Nether King Sword, and he was sure that he was already truly invincible in the human world.

There is no one above him anymore.

He didn't need to chase anyone anymore.

Behind him, there were only those who pursued him.

So it's natural for him to feel as if there's nothing to do.

Especially when he sensed that the junior sister of his Bright Holy Sect had left the world, after he stepped on land again, even if he walked in such a bustling street and alley, the warm atmosphere that came to his face only made him feel even more strange.

The world doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

It seemed far away from him, not very real, not much fun.

He began to admit it, and he began to realize that in this world, there seemed to be no one he really cared about, and there seemed to be no one who really cared about him.

But his younger sister Wu Guzhi should be one.

It turned out that he couldn't afford to kill his junior sister, because as the years went by, his subconscious became more and more aware that his junior sister wanted him to repent one day.

Until now, he still thinks that this junior sister of his is too naïve.

But she can really be regarded as his relative, and she can be regarded as someone who really cares about him.

Because if you don't care, you won't care if he changes or not, and what path he takes.

Those who don't want to see it, of course, are the most painful to slash with a knife.

She is also very different from those ascetics in Mobei.

The ascetics of Mobei fanatically dedicated their lives to him, just because he was their legend.

And she wants him to wake up one day, because she wants him to return to the Bright Holy Sect and become her senior brother again.

After she left this world, he began to realize and admit these things in his heart, but these became a thing of the past day and night.

Right or wrong no longer makes sense.

His master and this junior sister back then can't see what he will become in the future.

I can't get stuck with him about right or wrong.

In this world, no one expects what kind of person he will become, nor does he care what kind of person he will become.

All the people in this world, looking at him and talking about him, will only know that he is a demon sect.

He has no other identity.

He was in a trance.

Several porters with heavy loads who were walking across from him screamed and were about to hit them, and two of them even shouted and cursed in a hurry.

But the porters were shocked for the next moment and almost knocked each other down.

Because suddenly there was no sign of the man before their eyes.

......

The Demon Sect sat down on the roof of a shop.

The roof of the shop is full of flowering artemisia grass, some from last year, which has dried up like wood, and some of which have grown from the roof tiles and is full of life.

He suddenly wanted to stop.

Even at this time, there was already that familiar aura in his perception.

The aura was like some kind of murmuring voice constantly provoking him, constantly lingering around his body, telling him to hurry to catch up with the boy who had escaped in the sea and solve the problem.

This kind of murmuring sound has the tendency of him not to obey and keep making noise in his ears, which annoys him to death.

However, he sat in the midst of these artemisia grasses that were intertwined with decay and rebirth, and he just wanted to stop.

Over the years, he has been desperately moving forward, never stopping.

On the battlefield on Guanlong's side, there is also a person who has never stopped in recent years, and even keeps hurrying, rushing faster than him.

After the end of the battle there, the man named Lin Yi sorted out Shen Yue's story.

At this time, he seriously thought about his story.

He thought about it for a long time.

Then I suddenly wanted to go back to the Southern Dynasty to have a look.

He didn't care about the aura that kept appearing and provoking him.

His figure disappeared from the roof of the shop, and when he reappeared, he was already on the road to the south.

.......

A long time has passed.

A figure that seemed to be much faster than the Demon Sect appeared on an official road.

When he appeared, he was already standing at the head of a galloping carriage.

The horses dragging the carriage did not notice much difference, but the coachman on the front of the carriage was suddenly startled, and his hands unconsciously exerted force, and the carriage slowed down.

Chen Ziyun didn't pay attention to the driver next to him.

He just bowed to Lin Wangbei in the carriage, and then looked at Shen Nian opposite Lin Wangbei with an extremely cold expression, and asked, "Who are you?"

The carriage then continued towards the northern border of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As it disappeared into a mountain gorge at the next road turn, in the smoke and dust, the figure of He Batyue also appeared outside a tea house on the side of the road in the distance.

He looked at the vanished carriages with a deep frown.

At this time, he was sure that there had been a big accident in the battle on Guan Long's side, and even the Qi Engine of the Big Dipper had appeared, and then completely disappeared.

This means that Yu Wenjun has also left the world.

Of course, in his plan, Yu Wenjun is not his ally, and he must leave this world.

But being killed in this battle was completely beyond his imagination.

Of course, what made him feel most ridiculous and incomprehensible was that the Demon Sect had not arrived.

From winter to spring, there are fixed rules for the evolution of any gas engine.

Even the stars in the sky

The tides of the sea are no exception.

How could a character like the Demon Sect refuse to pick this sweetest fruit?

Since killing Shen Nian was the last step for him to truly reach the top of the world, why didn't he take this last step weirdly?

"Are you crazy, or is this world suddenly crazy?"

He Bayue laughed, but his face became a little pale, and his lips were a little strangely blood-red, "I can't understand anything." ”

......

Because he wanted to stop, and even wanted to look back, the Demon Sect was not in a hurry.

Soon he had a horse.

The horse carried him all the way south, because the warmer it got, the closer it was to spring, the more new grass sprouts were coming out of the soil, so that the old horse, which had been retired from the battlefield and sold to the market by a horse dealer, might have to consume the last of its life in the process of constantly carrying heavy camels like ordinary mules, became more and more cheerful.

It had many stab wounds and arrow marks on its body, but as it continued to move south, it gradually forgot about the events on the battlefield.

This kind of casual rush also seems to have regained its vitality.

It's just that when walking on some of the mountain roads, the injuries it has suffered still make it feel difficult.

Halfway up a mountain, the Demon Sect stepped down from its back.

He patted it on the back.

Some pure vitality poured into its body, and the old horse's cloudy eyes lit up.

It licked the back of the Demon Sect's hand very humanely, and seeing that the Demon Sect didn't want to ride it again, it naturally followed behind the Demon Sect.

The mountain is not very high.

The further south you go, the more mountains there are.

But the mountains are continuous.

It stayed in the mountains with the Demon Sect for the night, and when it was close to noon on the second day, it and the Demon Sect came to the top of a mountain.

The shady side of this mountain is all bamboo forests and some wild tea trees, which are in relatively low and humid places, with water vapor and obvious lack of light, and the tea leaves do not show the kind of emerald green or dark green color, and the leaves have some strange purple colors.

On the sunny side of the mountain, there are many peach and wild cherry trees, in addition to some towering cedars.

At this time, the peach trees have just had tiny buds, but the wild cherry trees have already bloomed all over the mountain.

The flowers of those wild cherry trees are very small, and the color is very purple-red, and it seems that there is nothing to attract attention when you look at one of them, but these wild cherry trees are all over the mountains, and when you see them, they give people an unusually magnificent feeling.

The old horse walked slowly, gnawing on the sprouts in the mountains.

There were almost no people coming in this barren mountain, and even the barren grass seemed to grow into the wilderness, and it didn't seem to be as fresh and tender as the grass on the outside field and on the side of the road, and of course it couldn't understand why the Demon Sect would come to such a place.

The hillside shaded by wild cherry blossoms has many smooth stone flats with many potholes in them with decaying wooden stakes and scorched marks.

He stood on a small stone lawn, looked at a small stream in front of him, and then looked over the stream to a stone flat not far away.

The place where he is standing now is the residence of Wu Guzhi when he practiced in the Bright Holy Sect, and there was originally a very delicate wooden building on this stone lawn.

And the stone flat where his eyes fell at this time was where he lived before.

Wu Guzhi's wooden building was originally empty, but when he returned from outside the mountain one day, he found that he had an extra junior sister.

Later, the Bright Holy Sect was destroyed in his hands, or rather, destroyed by the cultivator named Yuwen Hunter and the forces behind him, after he left here, he kept fighting all kinds of people, and kept walking higher all the time, he had indeed forgotten a lot of what happened here.

It wasn't until he wanted to stop that he returned for the first time in many years.

As he stood here, he began to think of some of the events of the past.

When he found out that he had an extra junior sister here, he felt that his junior sister was not as lively and active as those junior sisters of others in other sects, and it didn't seem to be the kind of existence that was extremely talented and amazing.

She also seems to be very average-looking.

I don't like to talk either.

The most talked about were the two sentences that came to call him to eat during the meal.

He has always felt that his junior sister is a little weak, a little too naïve, and a little too ordinary.

He was undoubtedly the most talented disciple in the Bright Holy Sect back then, and he was undoubtedly the most valued by those teachers of the Bright Holy Sect. He would naturally become the strongest among the disciples of this generation of Bright Holy Sect.

So many times when he looks at her as a little weak and naïve, many times when he puts down his job after eating and looks at her, he can't help but think that a junior sister who can't do this may be the only brother who will take care of her more and protect her more in the future.

That's exactly what I thought at the time.

However, after leaving here, he had long forgotten about these things, and had long since ignored them.

It's nice not to kill, right?

It was only when he stood on this stone flat that he remembered those fragments of those years.

......

The Demon Sect went to the mountains to hunt a few hares, peeled them in the stream and washed them, and then made a fire in the place where they used to eat to roast them to golden brown.

He kept a roasted hare, ate the rest, slept for the night on the stone lawn where he had lived, and then led the horse on his way south.

After leaving here, he was a little aimless, and he didn't even think about where he had to go at first.

However, as he walked, he found himself walking towards Jiankang.

So he went to Jiankang.
