Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

A group of spirit beasts came running from afar like a swarm of locusts. The sound of their running was so loud that the ground shook violently, like an earthquake, making it almost impossible for people to stand steadily.

In this remote town, almost everyone is a mortal. How could they have ever seen such a scene?

Everyone ran around in panic. Master Xu, as the only cultivator in the town capable of resisting the herd of spirit beasts, naturally stepped forward.

He first took out a defensive magic weapon. A small shield appeared in his hand. He injected spiritual power into it. Invisible air waves vibrated. The shield grew larger in an instant and flew over the town, covering the entire town.

Although the magic weapon is good, it cannot resist such a large group of spirit beasts. It can only prolong the time of survival.

Everyone fled in panic, not noticing who released the shield. They thought it was a manifestation of the gods, and cried bitterly, thanking God and praying for salvation.

Master Xu hurried back home.

The group of spirit beasts was too large, and he could not defeat them alone. He could not save so many people, so he could only take his own people and leave first.

"Gu Ling, Jiang Nian, let's go!"

Master Xu was about to fly away holding one of them in each hand. Jiang Nian couldn't bear it: "Master, aren't you a cultivator? Can't you save them?"

Master Xu looked ashamed: "My cultivation is limited and I can't save so many people. In this situation, I'm afraid only immortals have the ability to save them."

The three of them have already stepped onto the immortal sword. Gu Ling looks at the group of mortals below with a calm expression.

She turned to look at Jiang Nian: "Do you want to save them?"

Jiang Nian felt uneasy, and he said firmly: "I don't want to."

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Jiang Nian has always believed in this sentence.

He didn't know how Gu Ling could save these people, but his intuition told him that the price of this was something he couldn't accept.

Jiang Nian held Gu Ling's hand tightly: "A Ling, don't do anything."

There was some confusion in Gu Ling's eyes, but she didn't say anything and also held Jiang Nian's hand tightly.

Jiang Nian had just breathed a sigh of relief when a giant flying bird flew head-on into the magic sword. Master Xu quickly controlled the magic sword to avoid it.

However, it is easy to avoid a single bird, but difficult to avoid tens of thousands of oncoming birds.

The huge birds blocked out the sky, densely packed with them, with sharp beaks and iron-hook claws flashing cold light.

With two burdens along, it was difficult for Master Xu to display his spiritual power. He was soon surrounded by birds. He used his spiritual power to protect his own people and took the opportunity to attack the birds.

A bird flew over Master Xu's defense line and grabbed Gu Ling with its claws. Jiang Nian rushed over and hugged Gu Ling in his arms, using his back to block the attacking claws.

At this moment, Jiang Nian regretted it.

He should have agreed to Master Xu earlier and followed Master Xu to practice. In this way, he would at least not be completely defenseless now.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, being weak is the original sin.

He clearly knew it a long time ago, but he kept avoiding it, thinking that as long as he avoided the disputes, he would be fine. But the truth is that there is no completely safe paradise in this world.

With a loud and clear cry, the bird suddenly fell, and the surrounding birds were also blown away by an invisible force.

Jiang Nian slowly turned his head and saw a man standing in the air.

The man was wearing a casual dark green robe with a jade gourd hanging around his waist.

He has bright features and outstanding temperament. He seems gentle and casual, but the aura around him should not be underestimated.

A powerful yet gentle force emanated from him and gradually permeated the area. The enraged spirit beasts gradually regained their sanity and, driven by an inexplicable force, gradually dispersed.

His robes fluttered in the wind, his hair flew, and his expression seemed compassionate.

This is a true god.

The god raised his eyes and looked over with a faint smile on his lips. His gaze passed over Jiang Nian and looked at Gu Ling in his arms.

The clear and gentle voice was as pleasant as the sound of flowing water, but to Jiang Nian it sounded as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"A Ling, we should go back."

Master Xu's surprised eyes moved back and forth between Gu Ling and Gu Sheng.

"Master."

Gu Ling called out, and she took a step forward. A faint aura emerged from her body. It was clearly in the air, but she stood firmly as if she was standing on the ground.

only--

Gu Ling turned around, followed his wrist upwards, and saw Jiang Nian.

His lips turned pale and his voice trembled: "A Ling, don't go."

Gu Ling subconsciously looked at Gu Sheng, but saw that Gu Sheng had a helpless expression on his face, but he did not leave, which already showed his attitude.

Gu Sheng was not called by Gu Ling. It was originally agreed that Gu Sheng would come to pick her up when Gu Ling wanted to go back, but now Gu Sheng showed up on his own initiative, which meant that something had happened.

Gu Ling has been in the human world for more than a year. Compared with Gu Sheng, Jiang Nian is actually not enough reason for her to stay.

She is like a gust of wind in the world, with no place to stay and no desire to take root.

Gu Ling had wanted to leave a year ago.

She came to the mortal world to gain experience, and it is undeniable that she learned a lot from staying with Jiang Nian, but the human world is huge, and she wanted to go farther and meet more people, but Jiang Nian kept her in this small town.

Gu Sheng is different from Jiang Nian. Gu Sheng gave Gu Ling the wings to fly, but Jiang Nian is a string that will tie Gu Ling down.

"Jiang Nian." Gu Ling called him, "Don't be too sad when we meet each other. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

Gu Ling pushed Jiang Nian's hand away and walked towards Gu Sheng step by step. Jiang Nian reached out to grab her, but could only reach the light green hairband that Gu Ling often wore around her wrist.

Jiang Nian suddenly fell from the magic sword, the hairband entangled on his fingertips and was held tightly by him, and the little figure walked towards her master step by step, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Master Xu caught the falling Jiang Nian and they both landed on the ground.

He looked at Jiang Nian's distraught look and sighed: "They don't belong here, you...don't be too sad."

"What's the meaning?"

"You have also seen Gu Ling's master. In my opinion, he should be a god in the divine world."

Spirit world.

Jiang Nian chewed over these two words.

There is only one way for mortals to reach the realm of gods: to attain enlightenment and become immortals.

……

Divine Realm, Palace of All Spirits.

As soon as the master and his disciple came back, they saw a group of gods blocking the door. When they saw Gu Sheng, they all bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Gu Sheng's usually casual expression was now a little serious. He looked at Gu Ling and said, "I have something else to do. Don't run around during this time. Wait for me to come back."

Gu Ling nodded in agreement, and then saw Gu Sheng leading a group of gods and leaving the Wanling Palace in a mighty manner.

What happened?
