The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Half a day later, Wan Yixing and Chu Enze came back.

They said that the Butterfly Fairy had fled to the eastern country of Tianfang, where there was a dense forest and many powerful monsters lived. Even the Hunting King did not dare to go deep into the area, so they had to turn back.

"Arabian Kingdom..." Xiao Zhu glanced towards the east, which was his hometown.

"Xiao Zhu, take good care of your injuries first! Since Elder Bai has passed away, this matter is not so important. We will deal with the loss of Yuanwu in the long run." Chu Enze comforted Xiao Zhu.

"Hmm..." Xiao Zhu nodded. There was no better way now.

Three days later.

Three days ago, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the palace, like a thunderclap, and the explosion caused a slight earthquake in Novan City. There were many different opinions about the origin of the explosion in Novan City. Some said that a huge war broke out in the royal family, while others said that the royal family was conducting an experiment that could destroy the entire city. These opinions caused panic in the entire Novan City, and many thieves and criminals took the opportunity to fight, rob, kill and burn in the city, causing Novan City to fall into chaos.

Soon after, someone discovered that the entire Novan College was deserted, and all the teachers and students seemed to have disappeared overnight, which further exacerbated the chaos in the city.

Fortunately, the Demon Hunter Association took timely action to suppress the chaos and eliminated the culprits, which restored peace to Novan City. However, this chaos caused huge losses to Novan City, and it may be difficult to recover in the next year or so.

Chu Enze went south to Yanhui Peak. He wanted to tell Bai Hao about the murder of Elder Bai as soon as possible. He took the initiative to ask Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi to go with him, but Xiao Zhu declined because he and Xia Shi had unfinished business in Nuowan City.

Three days later, Xiao Zhu's injuries had completely healed. He and Xia Shi left Nuowan City and headed straight for Tianjian Forest.

It was there that they met Yun Ke for the first time.

They want to fulfill their promise to Yun Shu and take her to the place where they last saw Yun Ke.

Xiao Zhu quickly found the cave where they met Yun Ke that year. After entering the cave, he found that there was a cliff inside. He was washed into the depths of the cave by the Yellow Spring water when he was unconscious that year, so he had no sense of the terrain. This time, he unexpectedly found that the cliff was quite deep. The group slowly descended along the cliff for a long time before reaching the bottom.

There was a secret room on the stone wall at the bottom of the cliff. Xiao Zhu took the lead and walked in.

Walking into the secret room, Xiao Zhu felt a chill coming towards him. The walls of the secret room were covered with thick ice. At the same time, he saw a familiar scene - in the middle of the secret room, there was a huge stone coffin.

"This is where we met Yun Ke last time." Xiao Zhu looked at Yun Shu and said.

"Brother!" Yun Shu rushed to the side of the sarcophagus. She stretched out her claws and gently touched the sarcophagus. Then she turned to look at Xiao Zhu and asked, "Brother Xiao, can you open the sarcophagus?"

"Of course!" Xiao Zhu walked to the side of the sarcophagus. The heavy sarcophagus was no problem for him. He lifted the top of the sarcophagus with a little effort.

But when he saw the scene in the sarcophagus, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Yun Shu jumped onto the top of the sarcophagus, only to find that it was empty, with nothing inside.

"When Shi'er and I met Senior Yun Ke here five years ago, he said that his physical body was destroyed in a war a thousand years ago, and only a remnant of his soul was left wandering here. So, this sarcophagus may have been empty all along!" Xiao Zhu recalled the scene at that time and explained to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu said "hmm", her tone full of disappointment and sadness.

The secret room became quiet. Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi couldn't bear to disturb Yun Shu, so they quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving Yun Shu standing alone next to the sarcophagus.

"Brother, you said that we in the Yunlu clan are all in tune with each other. Xiaoshu can feel that you have been here before..."

At this moment, a wisp of smoke suddenly floated out of the sarcophagus.

Xiao Zhu had clearly confirmed that there was nothing in the sarcophagus, so how could smoke and dust appear out of nowhere now?

The first thing he thought of was Yun Shu's safety. Just as he was about to rush over, he saw the smoke and dust condensing in the air and turning into the shape of a cloud of dew.

"Brother!" Seeing the smoke and dust appear in the air, Yun Shu suddenly became excited. She leaped towards the Yunlu in the air, but she passed through the smoke and dust without any resistance, so she missed.

"Xiao Shu, it's great to see you again..." The smoke in the air turned into Yun Ke's appearance, but Xiao Zhu could see that it was just an illusion, or the soul fragment left by Yun Ke with his last spiritual power. That's why Yun Shu couldn't touch him.

"Brother, brother..." Yun Shu was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

"Xiao Shu, I sealed the last bit of my soul here, hoping to see you again one day and talk to you. I don't have much time left, Xiao Shu, please listen carefully..."

"Okay, brother, Xiaoshu is listening." Yunshu nodded obediently.

"Our Yunlu clan possesses spirituality and wisdom far beyond that of ordinary magical beasts. We are the race with the greatest hope of completing the realm breakthrough and reaching that legendary realm among the thousands of magical beasts. Thousands of years ago, I chose Jin Ling'er and Yue Jiao, but unfortunately they failed."

"But it's not all in vain, brother. I left you something in the Eternal Forest in the south. When you become stronger in the future, you must go there and find that thing..."

"Brother? What is that?" Yun Shu asked puzzledly.

"You will know it when you get there in the future." Yun Ke did not answer the question directly.

After saying this, Yun Ke looked at Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi and said, "My two children, nice to see you again. I really want to thank you for bringing Xiao Shu here and fulfilling my lifelong wish."

"Senior, you are too polite. Your kindness in helping Shier complete the third blood awakening cannot be repaid with just this small thing." Xia Shi replied sincerely.

"Good boy, I can feel that you have grown a lot in the past few years. I hope that your cultivation can catch up with Yue Jiao soon..." Yun Ke said.

"Yue Jiao? Who is that?" It was the first time Xia Shi heard this name.

"I don't have much time left, so I can't explain it to you, but I believe you will know it all one day." Yun Ke continued, "Xiao Zhu, Shi'er, can you step aside for a while? I want to talk to Xiao Shu about my true feelings."

"Of course." Xia Shi nodded readily and pulled Xiao Zhu out of the secret room.

But she did not pull Xiao Zhu at all. She just saw him standing there motionless, as if he was in a trance.

"Senior, you are knowledgeable and experienced. There is a question that has been bothering me for a long time and I would like to ask for your opinion." Xiao Zhu suddenly said.

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the three people's eyes were all focused on Xiao Zhu.

"Go ahead!" Yun Ke said.

Xiao Zhu seemed to have been considering this for a long time. After getting Yun Ke's affirmation, he immediately asked, "Can people be resurrected after death?"

Yun Ke was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have not expected Xiao Zhu to ask this question. After a moment, he shook his head and answered:

"I do not know."
