Celestial being

Yuan Ming first placed his parents in a mortal town on a second-level island near Fuso Island. Since he lost the ability to descend through the Heaven Stealing Cauldron this time, for the safety of his parents, he thought twice and kept Huazhi. .

It happened that the flower branches had also swallowed up a lot of the spiritual power of the hibiscus tree. They were about to attack the fourth level and needed time to retreat, so they readily agreed.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Yuan Ming also specially left the banana fan and Jia Sifang's Tide Rising Obscurity Sea Ring to Huazhi to enhance her strength.

Later, Yuan Ming made a special trip to Wan Tianren and told him that he needed to leave for a while. In addition, in order to prepare for the war with Wu Yueshen, the Ming Yue God would also fall into seclusion for a long time and would not be able to respond to the believers' calls. pray.

"Another point, please keep in mind, Alliance Leader Wan, that Lord Ming Yue God is a free god. He is not the Witch Moon God, and he does not want to be the Witch Moon God. The East China Sea will always be the East China Sea for the people of the East China Sea, and its future will always depend on the people of the East China Sea. You will control and lead it yourself, but Lord Ming Yue Shen hopes that the East China Sea Alliance it helps will not become the second Wuyue Sect." Before leaving, Yuan Ming gave Wan Tianren a meaningful message .

"Don't worry, Lord Yuan, as long as I am here, the East China Sea Alliance will always be the East China Sea Alliance." Wan Tianren was particularly calm, and felt relieved for no reason.

"That's good."

After saying this, Yuan Ming bid farewell to Wan Tianren, stayed on Fusang Island for a few more days, and then secretly left the East China Sea and headed straight for southern Xinjiang.

…

Southern Border, Northern Territory.

Thousands of miles away from Biluo Cave, there is a sparsely populated narrow valley.

In the valley, a stream meanders out of the deep mountains and converges into a small pool less than ten feet in diameter in a slightly flat and open place in the center of the valley.

Not far from the pond, a slightly crude thatched courtyard was built under a strong old locust tree.

There was a sound of children playing in the yard, and then, a little girl about two or three years old, with braids and a red short coat, jumped out from the gate of the yard.

Behind her, a fire ferret with bright and fiery red fur was dragging its fluffy tail. He was chasing after her at a carefully controlled speed, for fear of chasing too fast and causing the little girl to fall.

"Giggle..."

The little girl's laughter echoed in the valley like the tinkling of spring water.

She squinted her crescent-like eyes, ran to the pool, and jumped into the arms of an old man who was sitting by the river fishing.

The old man wore a bamboo hat and had white beard and hair. He looked like an octogenarian, but when the little girl opened her mouth, she kept shouting: "Daddy, daddy, the greedy son is chasing me..."

The old man was none other than Li Zhui, the former cave master of Biluo Cave, the fisherman who had a long-lasting friendship with Yuan Ming. The little girl was the only daughter of Li Zhui and the third cave master Ling Songhua, named Li Yu. .

"Haha, let me see, has Greedy bitten the foot of my little carp?" Li Zhui threw the fishing rod aside, happily picked up the little girl's foot, and pretended to check it. .

Huo Greedy'er also ran up to him at this time, rubbing around Li Zhui's feet.

Compared with when Yuan Ming left, this guy has grown up a lot, and his chubby appearance is very flattering.

"No bite, no bite..." The little girl struggled and jumped down.

Huo Greedy'er immediately moved up to her, but she pushed him away in disgust.

"Daddy, did you catch a fish? I'm hungry." The little girl asked, looking at the fish basket on the side.

Li Zhui took the fish basket and showed it to her: "When did daddy have nothing?"

The little girl was not much taller than the fish basket. She picked up the edge of the fish basket and looked inside. Sure enough, she saw two fish with colorful bodies and a fish with golden red body inside.

"Daddy, I want to drink fish soup." The little girl swallowed and said.

"Okay, daddy will go back and cook it for you." Li Zhui stood up with a smile, picked up the fish basket with one hand, picked up Li Yu with the other, and walked back to the small courtyard.

Back in the yard, Li Zhui put his daughter down and let her play with Huo Greedy'er.

He himself went to the simple kitchen, set up casseroles on two small stoves, and stewed the two different types of fish separately.

Afterwards, he filled the stove with firewood, washed and cut a few seasonal vegetables, and fried two plates of exquisite side dishes.

After a while, a rich aroma floated in the yard.

When Li Zhui put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, the little girl was already sitting obediently aside. Her eyes were staring at the food and fish soup on the table, and she didn't even notice a trace of drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"Little carp, wait a moment, your mother should come out by now." Li Zhui glanced at the mountain wall against which the thatched courtyard was leaning and said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a stone door slowly opened on the mountain wall, and a beautiful woman in red with soft features, plump body and high bun came out. It was Ling Song, the former third cave master of Biluo Cave. magnificent.

The beautiful woman looked a little tired, but as soon as she met the eyes of her husband and daughter, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her unique charm was slightly revealed, and all the fatigue was swept away.

Arriving at the small square table, Ling Songhua was just about to sit down when he saw Li Zhui scooping up a bowl of fish soup made from golden-red fish and handing it to his daughter. His beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown slightly.

"I managed to get this earth lung fire fish for you to heal your wounds. Why did you share it with your daughter?" She said angrily.

"Haha, I'm afraid the bones in my body will be useless no matter what I drink. You see, my cultivation has been falling all the way now, and I have returned to the foundation building stage. No matter how good things are for me, they are all a waste. Our little carp is different. , are the rare twin spiritual roots of thunder and fire. If she eats more of these good things, her practice will be smoother in the future." Li Zhui laughed and laughed.

Li Yu was obviously a little afraid of his mother. He held the bowl of fish soup in his hand and blinked his big eyes, but he did not dare to drink.

"Drink." Seeing this, Ling Songhua shook his head helplessly and his expression softened.

"Yes, mother!" The little girl immediately beamed with joy, and drank heavily regardless of whether it was permed or not.

"How's it going? Is everything going well?" Seeing that his wife still looked a little disappointed, Li Zhui changed the topic.

"It's just a medium-grade magic weapon. There's nothing wrong with it. The quality is very good this time. I should be able to exchange for more spiritual stones." Ling Songhua took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Li Zhui and replied.

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work these days." Li Zhui took a bite of food for her and said with a slight shame.

"You and I have been married for many years, why are you talking about this?" Ling Songhua said, giving him an angry look.

"Oh, I..."

Before Li Zhui could say anything, Ling Songhua interrupted him.

"We made the decision to retire together. Over the years, I have never regretted it. After having Little Carp, I have no regrets anymore. In fact, I am very happy." She said seriously.

When the couple was talking, the little girl couldn't understand a word and just immersed herself in cooking.

When the food on the table was gone and the fish soup was at the bottom, the little girl, who was feeling sleepy after eating and drinking, had already fallen asleep with her head on the table with her hands on the bowl, and a sweet smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. .

Ling Songhua smiled and held his daughter in his arms, his expression as gentle as water.

But when her eyes fell on Huo Guan'er who was chewing fish bones on the side, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and a haze appeared in her eyes.

"Are those guys still unwilling to give up?" Li Zhui sighed and asked.

"They are eyeing Huo Gan'er's awakened spiritual fire bloodline, and naturally they won't let go." Ling Songhua shook his head.

"Don't worry, this Wangyou Valley is inaccessible and so hidden. We haven't been out and about for more than a year. They will definitely not find it." Li Zhui comforted.

"Hiding all the time is not an option. If that doesn't work, let's contact those old friends and see if anyone can help?" Ling Songhua asked.

"The southern and northern regions have been in turmoil for so many years, and there are not many of those old friends still alive. Even if some of them are really willing to help us, how can we drag them down?" Li Zhui said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Ling Songhua fell silent again.

A name popped up in their minds at the same time. If that young man was still around, he would definitely not leave them alone.

Just after thinking about it, they couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

Not to mention that they have lost contact for too long, even if they can still find that person, how can he fight against those guys on his own?

"If it doesn't work, just hand over Huo Greedy'er. It might be better for him to follow them. Follow us... How long has it been since he ate fire crystals?" Ling Songhua sighed and said.

Huo Greedy'er, who had been lying at her feet, seemed to understand this sentence and immediately raised his head warily, with a look of panic in his eyes.

"This little guy has always regarded us as family, how can we hand him over? The big deal... well, let's take it one step at a time." Before Li Zhuifa's harsh words came out, his eyes fell on his daughter, and his tone couldn't help but soften again.

…

At the same time, a group of people in the valley were going upstream along the stream.

The leader was a tall, bald man with a sinister face and an evil spirit all over his body.

"Everyone, walk faster. That couple was very cautious and ran away at the slightest sign of trouble. We finally found out about them this time, but we can't let them slip away again." The bald man shouted.

He is a monk who is in the early stage of building a core. The seven or eight people who follow him are all in the middle and late stages of building a foundation. Such a group of people can be considered a considerable force in the entire southern and northern territories. .

"Boss, don't you think we can just buy the fire ferret? Why do we have to use knives and guns?" At this time, a young man in green robe asked.

"Are you a new guy here? Don't you know what the boss wants?" Before the bald man could speak, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spoke up next to him.

"I'm really new here." The young man twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

The young man was none other than Yuan Ming, who had not long returned to southern Xinjiang.

When he arrived in the Northern Territory, he wanted to see how Li Zhui and the Third Cave Master were doing, but when he arrived at the place where the two originally lived, he found that it had been abandoned for a long time and there was no trace of habitation.

Later, he and Xiying rushed to Biluo Cave, but it turned out that things and people there were also different, and there was no one familiar with them anymore.

As a last resort, Yuan Ming used black incense to possess the fish man Li Zhui, and then he found the Valley of Forgetfulness.

As a result, they discovered this group of people just halfway through.

Yuan Ming cast an illusion to make these people mistakenly think that he was also traveling with them, so they followed him.
