Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Time flies by, and life's trials and tribulations bring us old age; the storms of the mortal world guide our hearts homeward.

Bei Meng Gui Shou truly regretted it; he should have made things clear with Shen Yi Chen.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Bei Meng Gui Shou looked at Luo Wu Zhi Zhu who was blocking his way and felt a little disappointed.

"I warned you before that the chosen one comes from the Ji family, and that there are unusual secrets in the heavens. Why don't you believe me?"

Lord Luowu slowly turned around in his rattan chair, his face contorted with rage, his wrinkles furrowing.

"I just want to see the chosen one, nothing more!"

"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me!"

The Lord of Luowu took to the air and headed towards the due east of the ancient city of Luowu.

The Northern Meng Ghost Chief glanced back at the path he had come from and let out a soft sigh:

"Where exactly did things go wrong? Why would the chosen one let me go? Could it really be some strange twist of fate?"

Bei Meng Gui Shou was very puzzled. Logically speaking, Shen Yi Chen should know that he was one of the Six Lines.

Bei Meng Gui Shou went to Shen Yi Chen this time to ask to be alone with him, as he was preparing to return to his position, but Shen Yi Chen seemed completely unaware of this.

Throughout their journey, the Ghost Capital of Northern Meng has been pondering this question, but has yet to find a solution.

The leader of the Northern Meng Ghost Clan did not inform the Lord of Luowu beforehand that he had come to confront Shen Yichen.

Despite his worries and doubts, the leader of the Northern Meng Ghost Clan still followed the Lord of Luowu to the city wall.

A lone figure stands alone, gazing at the boundless maple forest.

"Qiong An, you shouldn't have made that decision on your own!"

"I want to know why the chosen one didn't realize I was one of the six divinations?"

"Hmph, are you kidding me? You shouldn't be asking me, you should be asking the chosen one!"

"You must know!"

Lord Luowu shook his head and sighed softly:

All I can tell you is that the time isn't right yet!

The Northern Meng Ghost Chief fell into deep thought!

"Timing? What do you mean? When should I wait?"

"Haha... You should ask the chosen one. The problem lies with him, not with you or me!"

"If that's the case, why did you call me here?"

After a long silence, the Lord of Luowu let out a long sigh and whispered:

"Qiong An, don't you want to go see Feng Huang?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Northern Meng Ghost Clan remained silent for a long time!

"I...I'm so sorry to Fenghuang!"

"Someone in the Ji family knows of Feng Huang's existence. I want you to protect her until the Ji family leaves Luowu Ancient City!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this be?"

Bei Meng Gui Shou suddenly became very agitated.

"Alas, it's my fault. Back then, in order to drive away Ji Xuanfeng, I used the Ten Thousand Maple Forest Formation. Although I successfully drove Ji Xuanfeng away, I also revealed a flaw. I always thought that the mysterious person back then only injured me. I really didn't expect that she would actually find out where Fenghuang is!"

"Who is that person? Is he in Luowu Ancient City right now?"

Lord Luowu turned to look at the ancient city of Luowu, his brows furrowing slightly, and the wrinkles on his face becoming even more pronounced.

“I encountered her again a few days ago. Even with the Ten Thousand Maple Forest Formation, I couldn’t even see a trace of her. This person is probably no weaker than Ji Xuanfeng. With such a figure in the Ji family, Luowu Ancient City cannot be defended. This is also the reason why I have always maintained good relations with the Ji family. Once they find out that we are one of the Six Yao, you, me, and Feng Huang will probably all become loyal souls of Bei Meng Mountain!”

Why didn't you tell me these things sooner?

Lord Luowu smiled helplessly!

"The chosen one has not yet appeared, so what's the point of telling you? Besides, I only recently learned that person actually found Feng Huang's hiding place!"

Bei Meng Gui Shou gazed at Wan Feng Lin, knowing the intention of the Lord of Luo Wu—he probably wanted him to leave Luo Wu Ancient City.

"I owe Fenghuang, and I will protect her!"

"No, it was my fault back then. I owe both of you. Poor Darkness, you must believe me. As long as the Chosen One promises to protect the people of Luowu, I will definitely return to my rightful place with you!"

The Northern Ghost Chief, unsure whether the Lord of Luowu's words were true or false, sighed inwardly.

"Now it seems difficult for him to return to his former position. What exactly went wrong?"

Bei Meng Gui Shou turned to look at Luowu Ancient City.

"If I leave, can you handle it all by yourself? The Ji family, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the Xuantian Sect, and all the sects of Yanquan have all disappeared into Luowu Ancient City!"

"Hmph, I have been guarding Luowu Ancient City for a thousand years. What storms haven't I weathered? My only concern is that mysterious person harming Fenghuang. With you in charge and the Ten Thousand Maple Forest Formation to help, I think she wouldn't dare to act rashly!"

"What are your plans to do about Shen Yichen's matter?"

"Of course, we'll fulfill all his requests. Neither the Ten Thousand Demons Sect nor the Ji family are people Luo Wu can contend with!"

The Northern Ghost Chief looked at the solemn-faced Lord of Luowu and said softly:

"Shui Sheng, you can't die!"

Bei Meng Gui Shou flew into Wan Feng Lin. Since the time was not yet right, he could only wait. He had waited for a thousand years in Bei Meng Mountain, so why rush it? Besides, he was going to accompany Feng Huang.

A thousand years have passed, and the Ghost Chief of Beimeng still feels guilty towards Feng Huang. If it weren't for Feng Huang taking that blow for him back then, he would be the one lying in the coffin right now!

The Lord of Luowu sat alone on the city wall for a very long time. She had feelings for the ancient city of Luowu, a city she had protected for thousands of years, just like her child!

"Alas, when will the people of the Dark Realm be able to see the sunset? I only wish for an ancient city of Luowu in the Dark Realm to stand under the sunlight!"

Lord Luowu turned to look at Wanfenglin, took out the secret letter brought by the Shadow Emperor from her hand. Only she could open this letter, which was sealed with the magic of the Dark Realm.

The Lord of Luowu has already seen it, but she doesn't understand it. Let alone whether she can succeed in killing the Chosen One, this will bring a devastating calamity to the ancient city of Luowu.

The Ji family's God-Slaying Army has already approached the ancient city of Luowu. The Lord of Luowu is thinking about how to make peace with the Ji family and end the war, but at this moment, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family points her to a path of self-destruction.

The Lord of Luowu is lost!

The Lord of Luowu knew that this was the request from the Netherworld being within the body of the Supreme Elder of the Ji family, but she truly couldn't bear to part with the ancient city of Luowu, which had stood for thousands of years.

"Sigh, is it really going to be a lose-lose situation?"

When the Lord of Luowu tricked the Ghost Chief of Beimeng into the Ten Thousand Maple Forest, she had already decided to do as the Supreme Elder of the Ji family asked, because she needed to know where Guanxing Mountain was, where their king was!

The Lord of Luowu could not fathom the profound meaning of the Supreme Elder of the Ji family. Since he sent people to celebrate her birthday, it meant that the ancient city of Luowu would not be destroyed. But who would be the one to break the deadlock?

Lord Luowu shook his head helplessly and sighed softly:

"You've been hiding in the Ji family for a thousand years, and you've probably forgotten what the world outside the Ji family is like. I can see through you less and less!"

The Lord of Luowu turned around and looked at her ancient city of Luowu!

"Pass down the order: from this moment on, Luowu Ancient City is to enter a state of war preparedness. Close the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Inform the masters of all palaces that no fighting is allowed within their respective palaces. Anyone who violates this order, no matter who it is, will be killed!"
