The years I was in the human world

"Li Wei, also called Yu Zhao, passed away half a month ago. Didn't Empress Yin Ji know about it?" Gu Yin and Baili Changqing somehow told the evil ghost Li Lanyin who appeared in front of them that Yu Zhao was dead. However, the beautiful ghost did not have so many concerns, or he might have deliberately gathered these people together, and the things that Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo saw in the secret realm were also intentional arrangements.

"Nirvana? How is that possible?" Li Lanyin said in a lost voice. There is only one reason for a phoenix to be reborn - it is exhausted. Yu Zhao is still so young, how could it be possible...

Judging from her reaction, she should not know the fact that Yu Zhao was dead. Lu Zhouxue, who had been silent beside her, felt a little strange. They came to Dongshan to investigate Yu Zhao's case. Yin Ji appeared here and tried to stop them. She must have received orders in advance. If so, how could she not know that Yu Zhao was dead?

Baili Changqing naturally thought of what Lu Zhouxue could think of, so he asked directly. However, although Li Lanyin was Yu Zhao's mother, she was also an accomplice of the Ghost King who did evil things. In essence, they were still on opposite sides, so it was naturally impossible for him to tell everything his superior had told him.

"This has nothing to do with Yu Zhao's affairs, so don't ask about it." Li Lanyin looked at Gu Yin. She only knew that her daughter had passed away, but she didn't know that Zhu Huang, who passed away, had no next life. So although she felt distressed, she didn't take it too seriously. "What on earth has happened to my daughter over the years? Tell me in detail!"

"Back then, you were captured by the demon tribe, and when you came back, you gave birth to Yu Zhao. How much you doted on her at first, and how much you hated her after the prophecy of the Lingzhong Phoenix killing her mother came out." Gu Yin said calmly, "You were bothered by the Lingzhong's prophecy, and you didn't allow me to take care of my daughter. You also forced me to enter the sword tomb and not come out for a hundred years, otherwise you would strangle my daughter to death."

"Afterwards, I entered the Sword Tomb and stopped caring about worldly affairs. Yu Zhao was taken care of by you alone. The next news I heard was that the Phoenix had sinned and entered Nirvana. The judgment of the disaster in Dongshan was still made by you." Gu Yin spoke of the past in a calm tone, with a sense of irreversible powerlessness. "Now we come to Dongshan because of what happened to Yu Zhao."

"Have I ever believed Ling Zhong's slander, and have I ever threatened to strangle my daughter to death?" Gu Yin's statement was straightforward, but it did not prevent Li Lan from feeling heartbroken. It is easy to imagine what kind of suffering a child who is not loved by his father and mother, and is alone and helpless in such a fawning court, would have to endure.

However, Gu Yin had lived in the Sword Tomb for many years and had no idea how much injustice Yu Zhao had suffered. After Baili Changqing accepted Yu Zhao as his disciple, she was taught by Lin Xiyang and was not aware of her past sufferings. But there happened to be Xiao Fengzhuo, who liked to meddle in other people's business and was well-informed.

He was clearly a demon leader, but he knew everything about Zhongting. He said, "Yu Zhao escaped from Zhongting before he became my disciple. At that time, I heard in the demon tribe that the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms would beat and scold her own daughter. I thought it couldn't be false. But Queen Yin Ji said that she had never thought of mistreating her daughter. What's going on?"

Xiao Fengzhuo's words reminded everyone that Li Lanyin had been dead for a hundred years, so who was the "Li Lanyin" who treated Yu Zhao harshly and hated Yu Zhao to the core? Thinking deeply, if the Li Lanyin in front of them was real, then didn't this conspiracy start from when Yu Zhao was young?

The more Baili Changqing thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was about to ask Li Lanyin when she died and why she became a ghost, but Gongsun Wuyin interrupted Baili Changqing's question at this time. He pointed to the situation that was still developing in the secret realm and reminded him: "You may as well go back and discuss what happened in the past. Isn't the truth about the disaster that happened to Yu Zhao the purpose of your trip?"

"Will you tell the truth?" Gu Yin looked at him in disbelief. Most evil ghosts were cunning and vicious, and it was hard for Gu Yin to believe Gongsun Wuyin's words. This was also a major reason why there was a lack of evidence in the old Dongshan case. The monks were unwilling to believe what the evil ghosts said, even if what the evil ghosts said was true.

"Only you human cultivators care about what's true and what's false. We don't bother to fake it." Gongsun Wuyin held a silk ribbon in her mouth. She raised her hand to gather her messed up hair from making love with someone, and simply tied it into a high bun on top of her head, mocking the hypocritical human cultivators.

He walked barefoot in front of Xiao Fengzhuo, looked at him with seductive eyes and exhaled, but continued to talk to Gu Yin: "Besides, Yin Ji was also there during the incident, so the truth of the records here should not be hidden from her."

"Commander Xiao, the master wants to see you." Gongsun Wuyin's voice was soft and seductive, with a tone that was definitely from a brothel. Xiao Fengzhuo looked at him motionless, smiling and saying, "He wants to see me, do I have to go to him in person?"

"That's not the case." The ghost shook his head, with a charming look at the corners of his eyes, as if he was seducing people anytime and anywhere. He pulled his green robe closer, which did slightly conceal his lustful temperament, but such a restrained outfit really didn't suit him.

Lu Zhouxue stared at the ghost's outer robe thoughtfully. Gongsun Wuyin noticed his gaze and turned his head, looking at him and smiled, saying: "Lu, Zhouxue, right? You are very beautiful, the master likes your appearance."

"Your master really doesn't care about meat or vegetables." Xiao Fengzhuo stood in front of Lu Zhouxue, smiling nonchalantly, but every word he said was full of ulterior motives. "What are you doing, young man? Why are you so unsatisfied? How about I go and serve him myself?"

Everyone present: "..."

"If Commander Xiao is willing, then why not?" Gongsun Wuyin was a prostitute when she was alive, and became a ghost after her death. Naturally, she was shameless about these things. Xiao Fengzhuo, who had been speaking in a sarcastic way, was blocked by him and was unable to answer.

Gongsun Wuyin stopped when he saw that he had made progress, and did not continue to argue with Xiao Fengzhuo. His slender white fingertips pointed to the secret realm and said, "The master has a secret method that can trace back to the past. The truth of the old case is here. Please take a look."

……

You Rong saw a loud thunder falling from the sky, and the falling snow took away the overwhelming evil spirits, but Xiao Fengzhuo, who was originally guarding him, also disappeared along with the man who cast the spell in the air. He was stunned, but saw Yu Zhao and a group of cultivators arriving late.

"Yourong, thank you for your hard work." Yu Zhao ordered other monks to wipe out the remaining members of the evil ghosts who had already fled in all directions. Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, he thought about what a fierce battle he had experienced before, so he said nothing, only said, "You did a good job."

A young monk walked up to Yu Zhao, put a cloak on him, and said with concern: "Ah Zhao, be careful of the negative energy entering your body."

Then he looked at You Rong with a look of complete contempt. Yu Zhao was worried about many matters on the battlefield, but Ye Yunzhou said, "You don't need to worry about such a small and insignificant kid. The monks are not useless. They can't let such a thing kill them."

"What do you mean?" You Rong was still young and had just witnessed the tragic death of his brother. Naturally, he could not stand Ye Yunzhou's sarcastic ridicule. He immediately exploded, raised the forging knife and pointed it at Ye Yunzhou's nose, his face flushed red, "Who are you calling a waste?"

Ye Yunzhou was a proud child of heaven, aloof and noble, and felt that he was different from them. Moreover, he saw You Rong's feelings for Yu Zhao, and he became more and more disdainful. He snorted and said, "You can wipe out the entire army just by dealing with these three or five evil ghosts. If you are not a waste, what are you?"

"Yunzhou, you're through." Yu Zhao was keenly aware of the wit between the two men and frowned unhappily. It was up to them to do whatever they wanted with their private matters, but Ye Yunzhou should never have despised the efforts of the people who risked their lives to fill the Dongshan defense line.

Ye Yunzhou shut up when he saw Yu Zhao was a little angry, but his attitude was still nonchalant. You Rong was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He and his brothers had protected such an arrogant and rude thing with their lives, and now he was mocking them?

"Go and treat your wound first." Yu Zhao pointed at the end of You Rong's left arm, patted his shoulder, and motioned him to go down and rest.

Although You Rong was angry, he would not disobey Yu Zhao. He glared at Ye Yunzhou angrily and turned to treat his wound. After You Rong left, Yu Zhao looked at Ye Yunzhou and frowned, saying in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Yunzhou, after all, they defended the line of defense with their lives. You shouldn't say that."

"Sacrificing one's life to defend is indeed brave, but it is also a manifestation of incompetence, isn't it?" A female voice suddenly interrupted. Yaoguang was wearing a gorgeous dress. She didn't look like she was here to support, but rather to parade. The arrogance on her face was even stronger than Ye Yunzhou's, and she hardly concealed it at all.

She looked in the direction where You Rong left, snorted with disdain, and looked at Yu Zhao who was glaring at her: "Why is Fenghuang Jun looking at me like this? Do you think I'm wrong?"

She pointed around with her nail polish-painted nails. The monks had already cleaned up the few remaining evil spirits and were standing aside chatting boredly. They had no intention of cleaning up the battlefield. In their opinion, asking them for support was an overreaction. How could they do such a menial task as cleaning up the battlefield?

"When Lord Tianchen came to ask for help, I thought there was a disaster. I didn't expect that just these dozens of evil ghosts scared Lord Fenghuang so much that he even asked for help." Yaoguang looked at Yuzhao mockingly, "If you can be completely wiped out like this, aren't you useless? Is Lord Tianchen wrong?"

"How come I remember that Ye Yunzhou claimed that it was him and Yaoguang who wiped out millions of evil spirits in the Dongshan Campaign?" Xiao Fengzhuo mocked from outside the secret realm. He sat next to Lu Zhouxue and said, "These two are shameless. They look down on the achievements of ordinary people. The credit belongs to the territory itself."

Lu Zhouxue frowned. If it was a retrospective, why were the things he and Xiao Fengzhuo did in the secret realm also recorded together? Thinking of this, he quietly tugged at Xiao Fengzhuo's sleeve. The latter looked down at him and whispered, "What's going on?"

"Is that feather hairpin still there?" Lu Zhouxue leaned close to Xiao Fengzhuo's ear and lowered her voice. Hearing this, Xiao Fengzhuo seemed to realize something and looked at him silently. He still looked calm as he reached into his arms to retrieve the hairpin, but then stopped.

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhouxue asked a little anxiously. Xiao Fengzhuo raised his head with a complicated expression, looked into his eyes and nodded slowly.

The feather hairpin was there. Both of them thought the meaning behind it was absurd. Although Lu Zhouxue was shocked, it was also within his expectations. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then whispered: "Don't say anything. Let's discuss this matter later."

Xiao Fengzhuo nodded, pretending nothing had happened, and looked up to continue reading the flashback in the secret realm. The two's small movements were very subtle, and Gu Yin and others were paying attention to the contents of the flashback, so they naturally didn't notice it. But Gongsun Wuyin looked at the two meaningfully, but turned his head away calmly, as if he knew something.

In the picture, in order to prevent the evil spirits from making a comeback, Yu Zhao hopes that a group of cultivators can cooperate with her to set up a formation. One hundred people are needed to contribute their blood and essence as ink for drawing the formation, and three people with higher cultivation levels are needed to activate the formation.

The amount of blood and essence needed is not much, but the loss of blood and essence of a cultivator means a decline in cultivation. Naturally, some people are unwilling to do so and think that Yu Zhao is making a fuss over nothing: "Since all the evil spirits have been dealt with, why bother with this?"

"What's the point of doing this?" You Rong, who was following behind Yu Zhao and helping him, sneered. Although he had no cultivation, he would not kowtow in front of a cultivator. He immediately said, "The war has just ended. With the blood energy to suppress it, there will be no problem. When the blood energy dissipates, there are so many dead souls here that they can easily form new evil ghosts, making all our current efforts go to waste."

Yu Zhao didn't say anything to stop him, and it was obvious that this was what he wanted to say.

"How dare a mere mortal like you talk nonsense to a cultivator?" the cultivator said angrily, and was about to hit You Rong with the whip. He didn't dare to confront Yu Zhao head-on, so how could he not deal with a yellow-haired boy with no cultivation at all?

"That's enough." Yu Zhao raised his hand and grabbed the whip that the man swung at him. He glared at him warningly and said, "Everyone contributes a drop of blood to draw the Rebirth Array. I risked my life to prevent the evil spirits. You can't just do nothing."

Yu Zhao was about to leave after she finished speaking. Her army in Rongcheng was almost completely killed or wounded. She had to recruit new men and resettle the people who had been urgently relocated before the evil spirits attacked. In addition, she had to deal with the battlefield, so she was almost too busy to take care of anything else.

"I'm afraid the dead souls will turn into evil spirits and come back. Why don't we beat them all to death? Is that okay?" Yaoguang came over gracefully, her shoes not stained with any battlefield mud mixed with blood. "This will save trouble and solve the problem once and for all. What do you think, Phoenix Lord?"

It’s just that after a person dies, they may still have a good life after reincarnation, but if their soul is scattered, nothing will be left. How could You Rong accept this? He immediately forgot the rules of the army and shouted over Yu Zhao, “You woman, you have such a vicious heart. It’s obvious that he died with merit, but you want to be beaten to death. Even those who committed heinous crimes don’t get such treatment, but you are just sentenced to death!”

"You have such a noisy mouth." Yaoguang frowned and looked at him with disgust, but she raised her hand slightly, and You Rong was hit by a palm wind in an instant, causing the corner of his mouth to bleed, and soon, his cheek was swollen.
