In a daze, Xufeng seemed to have returned to a peach blossom forest. The forest was filled with fog, and he could not see his fingers. He walked in the forest for a long time, but he still could not see the exit.

The path was still clear, but Xufeng did not look back.

It was impossible to distinguish day from night in the fog. Xufeng did not know how long he walked.

A month?

A year?

Or ten years?

He heard a sigh in the dark. In the blink of an eye, he was already in a room. A woman was sitting on a lotus seat in front of him. She had a solemn appearance.

Xufeng hurriedly knelt on the ground. "Xufeng greets Doumu Yuanjun."

Doumu Yuanjun's eyes were filled with helplessness. "You don't have to beg.

If you can do something, you can do it without asking.

If you can't do it, you can't do it no matter how hard you ask. "

"Xufeng also knows this principle. I have to reap the consequences of the karma I created. However, I can't let go of all of this. It's as if it's engraved in my mind …" Xufeng choked. "I always think that it's good to see him one more time. It's good to hear him say one more word …"

"You know that one look and one sentence can't resolve your troubles. Even if you look and talk ten thousand times, you won't be truly satisfied. Fate is determined by the heavens. Why do you insist?"

Xufeng bowed deeply. "Xufeng has no other request today. I only ask Doumu Yuanjun for guidance. Run Yu, do you still have a chance of survival?"

Doumu Yuanjun looked down at the infatuated child under him and could not help but say, "Life, how can it be?

Death, how can it be?

A foolish thought is the end of wisdom, and a wise thought is the birth of wisdom. "

"Thank you, Doumu Yuanjun, for your guidance."

With another sigh, the lotus seat disappeared in an instant. Xufeng returned to the peach blossom forest.

The fog had already dissipated, and the peach blossoms were shining brightly. Doumu Yuanjun's voice sounded for the last time.

"In this life, you missed each other but could not see each other. You loved each other but could not stay together. Fate ended but did not part. Fate ended but did not part.

Fate ended but did not disperse, fate extinguished but did not separate …

Xufeng took out the reverse scale that he had obtained from Yanyou before he left. After staring at it for a long time, he absorbed it into his spirit …

Xufeng slept on the table until dawn. Suddenly, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

He jumped up and rushed out like a gust of wind, opening the courtyard door.

His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red and swollen, which gave one of the guests a fright.

"Phoenix … Phoenix, are you alright?" Jin Mi stammered.

Yanyou was already used to it. "It's fine. He's always like this. That's why I told you not to knock on the door.

Come, let's talk inside. "

Xufeng silently stepped aside and allowed the two men to swagger into the courtyard. They sat down at the stone table that he wiped clean every day.

"Is there news about Run Yu again?" Xufeng asked.

Yanyou rolled his eyes. "Your Holiness, can you let me drink some water to moisten my throat first?"

Xufeng said coldly, "I'm not the Demon Lord anymore."

Yanyou snorted.

Jin Mi saw that the two of them were going to quarrel again, so she hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Why don't I say it?

There's news that someone in the North Sea of the Demon Realm saw the appearance of the Silver Dragon. "

"But the news isn't accurate." Yanyou interrupted Jin Mi. "There's only one person in that town who said that he saw it, and he only saw it from afar. It's possible that he made it up himself. Most importantly, that guy's eyes are not good. He asked me for spiritual beads as payment, but he couldn't even tell the color of the beads clearly.

Even so, do you still want to go and take a look? "

"Yes!

I'll leave right away. "

Jin Mi couldn't help but be moved. "Xufeng, actually, you don't have to look everywhere like this. If Run Yu has really cultivated his real body, you have his reverse scale, and he'll come back to find you."

Xufeng clenched his fists. "What if he doesn't come back?"

Jin Mi and Yanyou looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

"I don't necessarily want him to come back to me. I just want … to see him again, to see if he's really safe … then I'll come back."

"Okay." Yanyou stood up. "Anyway, I'll continue to help you ask around. I'll come back when I have news."

"En, thank you."

When they reached the door, Jin Mi suddenly turned back and said, "Phoenix, don't worry. You used your primordial spirit to warm his remnant soul for nearly a hundred years, and used all your spiritual power to form his soul … Run Yu is so kind, he'll definitely forgive you."

A bitter smile appeared on Xu Feng's face. "Compared to what he has done for me, it's far from enough.

But still, thank you for always coming to accompany me to talk to him. "

Jin Mi nodded. "Originally, I wanted to talk to him again today, but unfortunately, I bumped into Pu-chi-kun.

But in the North Sea, you have to be careful of Beixuanjun. After all, last time … "

"I know. If it's not necessary, I won't have a conflict with him."

"Then I'm leaving. Take care."

"En."

Although it was a long trip, Xufeng didn't have anything to bring.

After wiping the memorial tablets and putting the two strings of beads and dragon scales into his arms, Xufeng set off.

He first followed the mark left by Yanyou and found the little demon who was said to have seen the Silver Dragon in a town near the North Sea.

Although he was mentally prepared, Xufeng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after seeing him.

It was an extremely old rat spirit. His beard was so long that it touched the ground. His eyes were covered with white membranes, and it was unknown if he was about to go blind.

Xufeng gave him a spiritual bead, got the approximate location, and set off for the North Sea.

Although the North Sea was called a sea, it was actually a huge ice lake in the north of the demon world. In the center of the lake was the residence of Beixuanjun, who was feared by both the demon world and the demon world. As long as one entered within a hundred feet of the lake, one could only use half of their divine power and demon power.

A hundred years ago, Xufeng came once and made a big fuss in the North Sea. The battle with Beixuanjun was known to all six realms. Since then, Beixuanjun had listed him as a mortal enemy.

He didn't expect to come here again today.

At that time, Xufeng relied on his strong spiritual power. Even if he was suppressed by the boundary, he didn't fear the Lord of the North Sea. But now that his spiritual power had recovered less than 30%, he didn't want to provoke that bad-tempered guy.

He didn't use his spiritual power. He jumped to the bottom of the lake and searched the lake with his naked eye.

The lake water was bone-chilling. In less than a moment, Xufeng felt his whole body stiffen. He tried to move his limbs, but he could only ease it a little. In the end, he could only swim for a while and had to go ashore to rest.

It took ten days for Xufeng to roughly search the bottom of the lake, but he didn't even see a dragon whisker.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, so naturally, he wasn't too disappointed. Moreover, this wasn't the first time that he had failed. So Xufeng was still calm. After he went ashore and dried his clothes, he got ready to leave.

At this time, a deep male voice came from behind him, "Xufeng, you're leaving already?

You entered the courtyard, but you didn't even greet the owner. Don't you think it's rude? "

Xufeng sighed. He knew that he couldn't be kind today. He turned around and said to the man in black floating on the water, "Mo Chen, I came here today to look for someone. I have no intention of fighting with you."

Beixuanjun Mo Chen sneered, "Of course I know you're here to look for someone. Otherwise, do you think I would tolerate you staying in my territory for so long?

I knew it the moment you took your first step into the North Sea.

It's just that I didn't expect the former Heaven Realm War God, Demon Lord Xufeng, to be reduced to such a state. "

"What do you want?"

Mo Chen took out his sword. Lightning surrounded the sword, "Xufeng, do you still remember what I said that day?"

"When I recover my strength, I'll fight with you.

But my spiritual energy hasn't recovered yet. "

"Other than that, there's one more thing.

When you step into the North Sea again, it will be the day of your death!

Today, I'll kill you and avenge my past humiliation! "

As he spoke, Mo Chen stabbed his sword towards Xufeng.

Xufeng closed his eyes and didn't move. The tip of the sword stopped an inch away from his forehead.

When he opened his eyes again, Mo Chen was even angrier, "Why aren't you attacking?

Are you looking down on me? "

Xufeng laughed bitterly, "It's Beixuanjun who thinks too highly of me.

You know that I lost all my spiritual energy that day. With our current strength and your barrier, there's no doubt about the outcome. Why should I attack?

Anyway, I've already saved the person I wanted to save. If Beixuanjun wants to kill me, then let him. "

As he spoke, Xufeng closed his eyes again.

Mo Chen paused. After a while, his lips curled into a sneer, "You've saved the person, but you're going to die without even taking a look. Aren't you a bit unwilling?"

Xufeng suddenly opened his eyes, "He's here?!"

"Hahahaha … …" Mo Chen laughed loudly, "Take a guess!

If you beat me, I'll tell you where the thing you're looking for is. "

"Are you serious?" Xufeng took out his Scarlet Cloud Sword. The sword made a sharp buzzing sound.

"Of course. And to be fair, I'll only use half of my spiritual energy. How about it?"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

In the next moment, the two swords collided.

Mo Chen's strength was number one in both the Yao and Mo Realms. In terms of seniority, even the current Fox King had to call him uncle. So even though he held back half of his spiritual energy, he still made Xufeng spit out a mouthful of blood.

Beixuanjun was never a gentleman. When he saw Xufeng spit out blood, not only did he not stop, his sword moved even faster.

In just a moment, this duel became a one-sided slaughter.

Xufeng was struggling under Mo Chen's sword. He was covered in wounds, but he still did not give up. From time to time, he would find a chance to stab back. But these actions only made Mo Chen angrier. He became more merciless.

Just as Mo Chen's sword was about to pierce through Xufeng, he suddenly stopped.

"Jin Mi, move aside." Mo Chen still held his sword, his voice cold.

"No," Jin Mi stood in front of Xufeng, "I won't let you kill him."

Mo Chen hatefully said: "So you came for him today!"

Jin Mi did not deny it, but said: "If you want to kill him today, then why save him in the future?"

"That's because I don't want to kill a guy without spiritual energy."

"But Xufeng's spiritual energy still hasn't recovered."

"Who told him to come here himself?

I didn't invite him! "

"But you clearly know why he came here. He never had any hostility towards you."

"It has nothing to do with me, he …"

Before Mo Chen could finish, he suddenly saw Xufeng move behind Jin Mi.

Instinctively, he quickly stabbed out with his sword. The sword pierced his flesh, making a slight "chi" sound, but at the same time, Scarlet Heaven Sword was placed against his neck.

Xufeng's face was covered in blood, but he laughed lightly: "Ha, Beixuanjun, does this count as my victory?"

Mo Chen's teeth creaked: "Xufeng, I didn't think that after not seeing you for a hundred years, you would become so despicable!"

"So what if I'm despicable?

As long as I can beat you, that's enough. "

Mo Chen hatefully looked at Jin Mi, saying: "Fine, I'll take you to see."

Mo Chen pulled back his sword. Xufeng's right shoulder was bleeding, but he didn't seem to care, nor did he treat it. He followed Mo Chen to the bottom of the lake.

The three of them went deeper and deeper, until they reached a place where the sunlight couldn't penetrate. Xufeng suddenly saw a silver light.
