Emperor Jiuyin

"Yes. To tell you the truth, I am pessimistic about the future of the human race." Gu Xiyu said.

Su Xiaoya said: "I am the same. The masters from Dayu Tiangong and even Longmen who are really informed are pessimistic and even desperate. It's just because brother Hanxue is here, so they don't reveal it too much. The background of the human race and the divine race There are too many differences, and I really can’t imagine what kind of turning point will be needed to help our human race reverse this desperate situation.”

Gu Xiyu said: "Su Xun put Hanxue in the position of Saint Ancestor Daren. His idea was to let Hanxue have power comparable to Saint Ancestor one day, so as to save the human race. But the Gods will never sit idly by. No matter, we really don’t have much time left.”

Su Xiaoya said: "We don't have to worry too much about these things now. Those are too ambitious and ambitious undertakings. It's enough for us to stay by Brother Hanxue's side and do our meager efforts. When we went to see Tai Su just now "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Gu Xiyu said: "Are you referring to the huge magic weapon on the sky of the Great Underworld?"

"Yes, that is actually an artifact, called the Heavenly Night Underworld Ring. Brother Hanxue once told me that it is an artifact that supports the entire underworld and is the core for the survival of the underworld. I just entered the underworld When I was there, I felt that there was an inexplicable spiritual thought that was always locked on me.

Gu Xiyu said: "Actually, I also feel this way. After I left the Great Underworld, I tried to use the Great Moon Dream Technique to speculate on cause and effect, but I was hindered."

Su Xiaoya said: "In addition, Brother Hanxue didn't mention anything about Ziyuan to us."

Gu Xiyu said: "Let's not interfere in his affairs with Zhou Yuchen."

Su Xiaoya said: "No, I don't want to interfere in the dispute between them. Do you think it took us how many years to meet Taisu, and the same goes for Ziyuan. As a father, brother Hanxue, wouldn't he not want to see his son? But until now, we still don’t know the whereabouts of Murasakibara.”

Gu Xiyu said: "Let's arrange the lower reaches of the Dead River first, and then go upstream to ask him."

"That's fine." Su Xiaoya said.

Gu Xiyu and Su Xiaoya carefully arranged many space-time coordinates in the lower reaches of the Dead River. Su Xiaoya used the powerful laws of space and time to set up space-time nodes every tens of thousands of miles. These space-time nodes can hide themselves to the maximum extent, while also Can sense the changes in time and space around the Dead River.

On the other side, Li Hanxue is also urgently and orderly arranging time and space nodes upstream.

"Xiaoya, there seems to be a wave of divine aura going down, so we'd better not go too deep." Gu Xiyu pulled Su Xiaoya's sleeve and looked ahead solemnly.

"The aura of the gods...has a master from the gods infiltrated into the Dead River?" Su Xiaoya asked.

Gu Xiyu said: "Yes, I don't dare to test the other party too much. The other party seems to be very alert. It would be better for us to go back upstream to find Hanxue."

Su Xiaoya said: "It seems that the Gods also attach great importance to the Dead River. They did not rush to expand the surrounding space-time domain. Instead, they sent people to the Dead River to investigate the situation first."

Gu Xiyu said: "The Dead River connects to the end of time and space. In a sense, it is a door to the age of the gods. The gods will not ignore it."

"It seems we can only go back the way we came."

…

"Xiaoya, Ayu, why are you back so soon?" Li Hanxue was a little surprised. According to his estimate, it would take at least two hours for Su Xiaoya and Gu Xiyu to complete the downstream arrangements.

Gu Xiyu said: "We sensed the aura of the gods, so we returned the way we came."

Li Hanxue said: "You are doing the right thing. Don't meet with the Gods now. It would be too dangerous for the Gods to know our whereabouts. Is anyone following you when you come back?"

Gu Xiyu shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Li Hanxue opened her eyes wide and scanned her surroundings with her true sight. She only felt relieved after making sure it was safe.

"I'm still almost done with the layout here, but since the gods have already infiltrated in, let's forget about the rest. Let's find a place to hide first, and then wait and see what happens." Li Hanxue said.

"good."

Li Hanxue took Su Xiaoya and Gu Xiyu to the black flower pot in the upper reaches of the Dead River. This is the only relatively calm place in the Dead River. The laws of time and space here are very stable, forming a low basin in the center of the Dead River. There are eight huge iron hooks connected together, like a big black flower, and the surrounding black clouds and mist form an area like a flower pot, hence the name.

Li Hanxue said: "Xiaoya, please decorate a house. We may have to stay here for a while."

"good."

With a thought in her mind, Su Xiaoya mobilized the origin of time and space to arrange a small house on the northwest edge of the black flower pot. Black mist surged outside the entire house, perfectly integrating with the surrounding environment, and there was also a layer of time and space barrier to isolate it from the outside. , those who are not as powerful as Su Xiaoya in the origin of time and space will find it difficult to see through the mystery.

Li Hanxue said: "Xiaoya's time and space origin is getting stronger and stronger. I think even Concubine Chen Yan is not much better than you."

Su Xiaoya smiled and said: "If you say this in front of seniors, I will believe it."

Li Hanxue changed the topic: "Let's talk about it in the house first."

The three of them walked into the dark house. Although the whole house was dark and gloomy outside, there was something different inside. There are plenty of birds singing, flowers fragrant, wind and thunder, sunshine and rain.

Gu Xiyu even saw several small bamboo houses inside, and both the appearance structure and the layout inside made her hard to find fault.

Gu Xiyu said to Su Xiaoya: "Thank you for your effort."

Su Xiaoya smiled and shook her head: "It's just a small effort."

"Xiaoya, what about my room?" Li Hanxue took a glance and found that there were only two rooms in the whole house. The small bamboo house was obviously prepared for Gu Xiyu.

The style of the other room was almost exactly the same as the place where Su Xiaoya usually lived. It was obviously not prepared for Li Hanxue.

Su Xiaoya smiled and said: "Brother Hanxue can sleep outside."

"This is unfair..." Li Hanxue sighed.

Su Xiaoya said, "We have one more thing to ask you. Where is Ziyuan? Didn't you say you would bring him back? Why did he disappear? The key is that there is no news about him in the Great Netherworld."

Li Hanxue was shocked: "This matter... I can't tell you clearly."

Su Xiaoya said, "Is there anything that we can't even tell?"

Gu Xiyu didn't say anything, but looked at Li Hanxue eagerly.

Li Hanxue sighed, "Do you really want to know? But after I tell you, you can't mention it to anyone, especially Zhou Yuchen."

Su Xiaoya said, "Brother Hanxue, tell me. Sister Xiyu and I are both tight-lipped people. It's impossible to reveal anything to the outside world."

Li Hanxue sighed, "In fact, Ziyuan has become the spirit of the Tianye Minghuan."

"What?" The two girls were shocked.

"This is what happened..."

Li Hanxue explained the matter from beginning to end. Su Xiaoya and Gu Xiyu had complicated expressions after listening. They were both women who had experienced the pain of losing their loved ones, especially Gu Xiyu, who felt the most deeply, so she knew Zhou Yuchen's situation.

Gu Xiyu said: "How long do you plan to hide it from her?"

Li Hanxue said: "I don't know, anyway, she can't know that Ziyuan has become a spirit for the time being."

"Then if Li Ziyuan can't recover for the rest of her life, do you plan to hide it from her for the rest of her life?" Gu Xiyu said.

Li Hanxue said: "Maybe it's really possible..."

Su Xiaoya said: "You might as well tell her earlier. It's not a good idea to hide it from her for the rest of her life. What if one day she knows the truth, how will you explain it to her? And it's not your fault."

Gu Xiyu also said: "I agree with what Xiaoya said. The truth cannot be hidden. Now that Taisu has joined forces with us, Zhou Yuchen will contact him sooner or later. When she asks, everything will be revealed. Hanxue, you just need to find a suitable time to explain it to her. I'm sure she won't blame you too much. Besides, Li Ziyuan is not dead yet, and there is still a chance to be saved."

"Okay, I'll think about it. I'll come back and explain it to her after I find the Taiyi Stone."

Li Hanxue took out the Xingyueyang mask from the void and placed it in her palm. With a surge of green light, the Xingyueyang mask was split into three.

Li Hanxue used the power of the Bu Tian Jing to make three copies of the Xingyueyang mask. Although the effects of the other two masks were far inferior to the real ones, they could at least play a certain role in concealment.

"Xiaoya, Ayu, each of you has one of these masks."

Li Hanxue handed two replicas to Gu Xiyu and Su Xiaoya.

Gu Xiyu and Su Xiaoya took the imitation Xingyueyang mask with bewilderment.

"What is this?" Gu Xiyu asked.

Li Hanxue said, "This is the Xingyueyang mask, which was given to me by the Lord of Ise Palace when I was practicing in the Divine Realm."

Su Xiaoya said, "What is this mask used for?"

Li Hanxue put on the mask, and his handsome face immediately became honest and dull. Su Xiaoya and Gu Xiyu stared at Li Hanxue's face for a long time, but could not find any flaws.

Su Xiaoya smiled and said, "It's really a work of art that can be mistaken for the real thing."

Li Hanxue said, "What you picked up is a replica. It's not as effective as the real thing, but it can also disguise yourself very well. It's safer for you to wear this mask when you go out."

"This is really a rare treasure." Su Xiaoya played with the mask carefully.

Li Hanxue said, "In addition, this mask is not unique to me. The traitor of our human race, Meng Huajun, also has a Xingyueyang mask."

Gu Xiyu said, "Isn't that very dangerous? With this mask, he can enter and exit any important place of the human race at will, and we can't see through his disguise."

Li Hanxue said, "Yes, so you must be extra careful and don't trust anyone casually, because anyone may be Meng Huajun in disguise."
