Chapter 490 Looking Back, Looking Back, Late Spring in the Human World
The Great Xia World.
The twilight, like blood, spread over the broken walls and ruins.
The last rays of the setting sun lingered on the crack in the collapsed archway, like a piece of blood scab about to fall.
The boy huddled in the shadow of the blue brick wall, counting the sounds of the demonic sect members stepping over the bluestone slabs.
They rode tall horses, their horseshoes clattering swiftly across the stone slabs.
The wind carried the stench of decaying blood, like rusty nails wedged into the nostrils.
A corpse hung upside down from a crooked locust tree at the street corner, dark red liquid dripping onto the cracked earth, soaking it and then drying it in the wind, staining the soil dark red.
A layer of blood-red ice had formed around the well, which wouldn't melt even in the height of summer. Ever since Granny Li and her family failed in their assassination attempt on a snowy night and were pushed into the well, no one had dared to drink the water from it.
A few dying whimpers of dogs echoed from the west of the town, followed by several bursts of hearty laughter that reverberated above the empty ruins.
Because those cultists have recently become obsessed with slaughtering wild beasts, saying that the fear dancing in the eyes of animals is purer than that in humans.
The boy ignored them and stealthily crept past, searching for anything usable among the ruins.
As dusk completely swallowed the archway, he hurried back carrying his small bundle, only to find a pale yellow flower by the roadside.
The slender stems, topped with flower buds, trembled and stretched in the wind.
It seems to be late spring now.
He recalled the vibrant spring that adults had described to him, and he plucked the flower and stuffed it into his arms.
Maybe if I take it back, my sister will be happy.
Suddenly, a deep and distant hum came from the sky, resonating in everyone's heartstrings.
The boy and the cultists simultaneously raised their heads, their gazes piercing through the twilight as they looked towards the distant horizon.
A long, narrow, sword-like flying boat slowly appeared in the distant sky, as if it wanted to pierce through the blood-stained sky.
The gale layer of the Great Xia world has now been weakened to the extreme, making it extremely fragile. From the sky, everything on the ground is clearly visible.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the Great Dao rules, the Parasitic Clan would have already completely destroyed this obstructive gale.
Si Que was punished for his poor performance and was sent to guard this desolate and remote lower realm. He was in a bad mood and often beat and scolded his subordinates.
However, when she saw the Nine Stars appear, a different expression finally appeared on her face.
Tang had already sent her a letter informing her that a cargo ship from the Myriad Star Alliance would be passing by and could bring her supplies.
It seems that her hospitality towards Manager Tang during the last inspection of the Star Lock Network was not in vain.
In this vast sea of stars, when you're out and about, you still have to rely on... spirit stones.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. She had spirit stones, and the Myriad Star Alliance took the initiative to curry favor and secretly made deals with her, a demon.
Because prior notice had been given, the parasites didn't bother to check at all, allowing the Nine Stars to swagger to a stop above the Gale Layer.
Seeing the other party's relaxed state of mind, Master Tang couldn't help but click his tongue softly.
He then lowered his voice and whispered to Chu Lengyu, "If we had a way to move and hide the whole world, we could have wiped out all these demons by joining forces today."
A confident glint shone in her eyes. Tang Qingying was quite confident that the position of Sique was easily within her grasp.
Although that deadly bow was fierce, she would never give her opponent a chance to draw it.
Today, Chu Lengyu is hiding in a painted world within Danzhu. Although she can only perceive the outside world through Danzhu's five senses, it is extremely safe.
During this period of time, she spent a lot of time with Danzhu, not only personally experiencing her various magical abilities as a fairy in the book, but also understanding her true nature.
Faced with Tang's suggestion, she did not answer directly. Instead, Danzhu advised in a helpless tone, "My dear sister, if you're going to hit me, you should do it under a different identity."
She knew without even guessing that although the defenses here seemed lax on the surface, the Parasitic Plague God was definitely keeping a close eye on this place and had countless experts lying in ambush in the shadows.
Si Que clearly made a grave mistake, yet the Parasitic Clan didn't send any other powerful figures to take over, which speaks volumes.
The identity of "Tang Xin," the leader of the Myriad Stars Alliance, is the result of their careful cultivation over a long period of time, and it is also closely related to another identity. They must not expose it so rashly.
Tang was slightly disappointed, but he knew that this place was a den of tigers and dragons, and that a trace of the parasitic plague god's consciousness might be hiding in the shadows, watching him.
He suppressed his thoughts, quickly switched to a businessman's polite smile, and left the Nine Luminaries. Danzhu naturally accompanied him, smiling broadly, revealing no flaws.
Si Que did not have a celestial boat; he usually resided in a dark, mountain-like cave.
The fact that this Black Mountain Cave was floating freely in the sky above the Great Xia World was considered her completion of her daily patrol and guard duties.
Compared to the suffering people of Great Xia, she longed even more for Chu Lengyu to return soon, so that she could be the first to discover him, make amends, and atone for her past transgressions.
However, the possibility is extremely slim.
Although there is a saying: "You can run away from the monk but you can't run away from the temple."
However, cultivators are not like that; many are ruthless, selfish, and self-serving.
What if Chu Lengyu decides to give up and abandons everything to secretly cultivate in another world and never shows herself again? Does that mean Si Que really has to guard this dilapidated lower realm for the rest of her life?
Over the years, Si Que has gone to great lengths to find Chu Lengyu.
The Void-Clearing Ring was created by her in collaboration with a member of her clan who was skilled in making spatial traps, and they devoted all their efforts to its creation.
Solving the empty loop is costly, but she dares not set the price too high and can only subsidize it out of her own pocket.
So far, she has released quite a few empty rings, but none of them have been the one she is looking for.
Si Que was nearly bankrupted by the search for Chu Lengyu.
That's why the nest's attitude towards her has only just softened.
However, I heard recently that the God of Plague discovered Chu Lengyu's whereabouts, which seemed to be related to the Ziwei Star Palace. He fought with her for this, but suffered a loss.
Ultimately, the blame was placed on Si Que, who had let Chu Lengyu escape, leaving her with no way to express her grievances.
As the Nine Stars arrived, Si Que felt a surge of excitement.
This time, she didn't put on airs at all and immediately showed up in person to greet Master Tang.
After exchanging pleasantries, Si Que followed them directly onto the deck of the Nine Stars, smiling and seemingly without any suspicion.
Chu Lengyu hid in the shadows, quietly watching the high-ranking demon who had almost killed her, who was only inches away from her, her expression complex.
All the past events are still vivid in her mind. Before this, she had never imagined that one day she would be so close to Si Que, and that he would not even notice.
She can launch a sneak attack and take his life at any time, as long as she has the will.
But killing Si Que is clearly no more important than saving the world.
Let her live a few more days.
