Perfect World

The mulberry trees remain the same and are as red as the sunset.

Looking from a distance, the trees are shining with fire, crystal clear, covering an extremely large area, and are bright red, which is very eye-catching.

When we get close to here, the blazing heat hits us. The mulberry trees are burning with flames and flowing red. The temperature is really not low.

As seen in the past, the mulberry-picking girls were busy. They all had some level of cultivation, but not high. Everyone was carrying a bamboo columb on their backs and wore coarse linen clothes, which was very simple.

There were not many people, and they were all very simple. There was sweat on their foreheads. The temperature here was really high, and even those with a certain level of cultivation would still sweat.

On the mulberry trees, there are silkworms that look like red diamonds. They are rare insects, and the silk they spin out can be used to weave precious clothes.

Shi Hao walked into the forest alone, surrounded by the sound of fire silkworms eating leaves, rustling, and occasional strings of firelight. This place was very beautiful.

In the past, when Shi Hao came here, he didn't notice anything at first, but suddenly he looked back and saw his old friend.

Now when he returned to his old place, he looked carefully at the mulberry-picking girls around him, but saw nothing.

The tranquil mulberry forest, the red clouds are bright and the firelight dances.

Shi Hao walked through the forest and walked forward according to the path in his memory. He knew that the place was not that far from here.

We haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't know what is happening to her now.

The tall mulberry trees, some of which have been growing for hundreds or even thousands of years, are thick, vigorous, and fiery red.

Shi Hao couldn't be at peace in his heart. Several years had passed, and Sang Lin was still there, but he was a little anxious. Time had not passed much, but it could change a lot.

Finally we were close and came to that familiar place.

There is a clear spring flowing through, the pebbles in the water are smooth, and occasionally fish jump up, which is harmonious and natural.

It is very quiet deep in the mulberry forest. There is a bamboo forest and a small river, which dilutes the heat.

Shi Hao walked quickly, entered the bamboo forest, and looked forward.

For a moment, his expression froze.

Originally there should have been a thatched hut, a small courtyard, some wooden pillars, and some flowers and plants, but now they are all gone.

There was nothing but scorched blackness, and the land was dry and hard, full of scorch marks.

The small courtyard disappeared, the peace of the past was broken, the vegetation was gone, the hut was burned down, and there was only ashes here.

Why? Shi Hao rushed over at great speed!

His eyes flickered and were as sharp as a knife, scanning this place, staring carefully, and exploring everything here!

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, everything in the past would cease to exist and be destroyed.

Huo Ling'er, where did she go?

For a moment, Shi Hao felt a haze in his heart, and a bad feeling suddenly surged up.

He came to look for Huo Ling'er, but he saw such a scene. It was obvious that something happened here and it was burned down by someone.

Shi Hao believed that Huo Ling'er didn't do this himself, and even if he left, there was no need to burn down his beloved courtyard and make it desolate.

"Who is it?" Shi Hao was angry, and at the same time his heart trembled and he was extremely worried.

What happened to Huo Ling'er, where is she now, and why did this happen?

Shi Hao was in a state of confusion, worrying about gains and losses. He rushed here this time, expecting to meet again, but he never expected to be so disappointed when he saw such a scene.

He opened his eyes, hoping to find some clues.

"Um?"

Shi Hao was startled and opened his eyes wide. He saw some broken weapons under the ashes.

He waved his hand, black earth and rocks flew away, and a bone shield appeared, but it had already been broken into several pieces. There were cracks on it, and there was a dark black substance in it.

It's blood, it's already solidified!

Shi Hao's heart was immediately shocked, filled with rage and panic. He was afraid that such an accident would happen, and even with his great abilities, it would be difficult to save it!

"How could this happen? Who came here and attacked a helpless girl!?" Shi Hao clenched his fists and his face was ashen.

Huo Ling'er has no enemies and no contact with the outside world. He lives here in seclusion and has nothing to do with the world. Why do those people find this place?

Is it because of him? If so, those people are too ruthless and their noses are too sensitive to even find places like this.

Shi Hao thought about it and felt that Huo Ling'er himself would not have grudges with others. If something happened, it would probably be because of him.

For a moment, Shi Hao's heart felt cold, and he felt a sense of self-blame and regret. If Huo Ling'er had an accident because of this, he would never be at peace in his life.

"I asked you to leave and not stay here. Did you avoid trouble?" Shi Hao's voice was trembling, and he was not sure.

Back then, he had considered not letting anyone go too viciously and following the clues to find this place. Shi Hao had suggested that Huo Ling'er find another place.

It seemed like there had been a battle and a violent conflict here.

Shi Hao's heart suddenly sank. He searched every place carefully, but in the end he found nothing. He didn't know what happened that year.

The next moment, Shi Hao turned into a rainbow light and appeared here. He opened his third eye and scanned every inch of the land, trying to find something.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed and had no other clues.

"No!" Shi Hao shouted, feeling a little painful in his heart. He was afraid that an accident would really happen. If that happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Day and night, Shi Hao searched here, never leaving the charred remains.

In the end he fell silent and gained nothing.

In front of the yard, there are two kinds of small mulberry trees. Although they were exposed to fire, they grew tenaciously because they are of fire nature and are not afraid of fire.

Shi Hao still remembered that he and Huo Ling'er planted this together before he left, and the scene was still in front of him.

But a few years later, the little tree grew a little taller and became much taller than him, but the person was no longer there. Over the years, things and people had changed.

Shi Hao couldn't accept this reality, so he left this place as fast as he could, heading towards the nearest city.

Li Huo City, there are many mulberry trees around, with red glow, some ancient trees that are thousands of years old are beating with blazing flames, and the heat wave is astonishing.

The Fire Tribe is based on fire and establishes its religion based on fire.

This area belongs to the territory of the Fire Tribe of the Upper Realm. They are naturally close to fire, so there are many such old trees near their residence.

Shi Hao was unwilling to give in and rushed into the city. His spiritual consciousness swept across the city, looking for powerful monks and wanting to learn about the situation from their mouths.

Soon, he made a discovery.

Because, in order to get the news as quickly as possible, he did not hesitate to take action directly, detained the city lord of this city, and forcibly explored his sea of ​​consciousness, and unexpectedly learned some information.

Sure enough, some people came here a few years ago, looking for something, and broke into the mulberry forest outside the city. Moreover, some people have not left yet and are still lingering.

"It's unbearable!" Shi Hao was angry, with murderous intent on his face and raging anger!

This is the territory of the Sin Blood Clan, and it is not an important place. It is very remote, so news exchanges with the outside world are very slow and somewhat stagnant.

People already knew that the Immortal Ancient Relics had split open and bordered the Three Thousand States, and they also knew that those geniuses had returned, but they didn't know what had happened in the Immortal Ancient in the past few years.

Generally speaking, news here lags behind, and people only know roughly some of the situation.

Shi Hao was furious and rushed out of the city, rushing to the mulberry forest again, and this time he happened to see those suspicious people.

"After all these years, what's the point of us staying here?"

"I heard that the Immortal Ancient War is over. Did the boy come out alive, or did he die in the Immortal Ancient ruins? Why didn't anyone come to notify us?"

"In this land of sin and blood, we have been forgotten. No one has called us back for several years!"

Shi Hao walked towards them step by step, his face gloomy.

But those people unconsciously walked towards the ruins of the burned thatched hut as usual.

"That girl back then was so pretty. Although she was said to be a descendant of Sin Blood, she was really beautiful!" Someone said frivolously.

"I don't know if he's dead, but it's a pity that he didn't fall into our hands." Someone said with a regretful smile.

"puff!"

The next moment, the two people felt severe pain in their legs, and they fell forward. Blood was shining, and their legs were shattered.

"Who is it?" These people were shocked, and they all turned around to look.

They saw a young man approaching, and their faces suddenly changed because they recognized the man's appearance.

"It's you, Huang!"

"puff!"

Shi Hao pointed, and a golden beam of light flew out from his fingertips. Those people all screamed, and the lower half of their bodies exploded, and the upper half of their bodies flew out.

"Tell me, what happened back then?" Shi Hao shouted angrily.

"Don't kill us, let's tell them all!" someone shouted.

"We are insignificant. We don't even know you are back. We haven't received any news from above. We are completely forgotten here. Don't kill us!"

They were extremely frightened and soon resorted to anything.

Back then, these people were ordered to come here with the goal of catching Huo Ling'er, but they were a step too late.

Huo Ling'er's father was once a human emperor in the lower realm. After returning from traveling, he immediately took her away after learning about the circumstances of his daughter's meeting with Shi Hao.

"You didn't find them?" Shi Hao felt relieved.

"Later, I got some clues and hunted him down, but there was no news." They answered honestly. On the contrary, the Fire Emperor had come here to kill him.

Soon, Shi Hao learned about the origins of these people. They were people from Sword Valley, Fire Cloud Cave, Luofuzhen Valley and other places. As expected, there were several great sects whose mission was to suppress sin and blood.

At the same time, what made his eyes cold was that there were actually two monks from the Celestial Race who had participated.

"Fire Cloud Cave, Luofu True Valley, and the Celestial Race, you are going too far!" Shi Hao was furious, and he vowed to visit them in the future.

He got what he wanted to know from these people, and with one final wave of his hand, he dealt with these people without mercy.

Shi Hao sighed, the world is so big, where can I find Huo Ling'er? Hope he is safe and well.

In the next few days, he kept wandering in this area, thinking about the past and what happened in the lower world, and he sighed.

This Huo Ling'er forest was very big, but Shi Hao had almost walked through it in the past few days. He wanted to take a closer look at the place where Huo Ling'er once worked.

"Um?"

On the fourth day, Shi Hao was shocked, his eyes focused, and he looked forward.

This place is far away from the hut ruins and is on the edge of the mulberry forest.

There were people picking mulberries there, and there was a girl in rough linen clothes, with disheveled hair and sweat on her forehead.

She has a good figure, but her appearance is too ordinary. She is picking mulberry leaves here with a bamboo basket on her back.

Shi Hao had never seen her appearance before, but now he saw her eyes, and his heart trembled. He couldn't believe it, those eyes were very familiar.

Shi Hao walked over step by step. The girl turned around, and the bamboo basket immediately fell to the ground. Water mist appeared in her eyes, and her clear eyes suddenly became blurry.

"It's...you!" Her voice trembled.

Even though her appearance changed, Shi Hao recognized that it was Huo Ling'er. She never left. She had been waiting here in the mulberry forest!
