Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

What is the bridge between freedom and obsession? Is it love?

In the vast world of Jianghu and the long years, up to now, there are only three and a half strong men in Shen Yichen's mind.

The first one is of course the old Taoist priest sitting alone on Guanxing Mountain, the second one is the gray man in Wuheng Peak, the third one is Ji Xuanyan, and the other half is the old fortune-telling master.

However, there are two powerful people whose names are known but not their identities, namely Ji Xuanfeng and the Demon Emperor.

In the dark city of the desert, Shen Yichen should have met another strong man, a very different strong man. This kind of strength is also a different kind of strength. It is not only about cultivation, but also about this person's heart.

"I walk my own way, I look for my people, I will go even if someone tries to stop me, I will still look for them even if no one is there to accompany me!"

This was just a very plain remark made by the white-haired woman. Now she should be called Shen Yichen's master's wife, not the master's wife without a master!

Shen Yichen has already admitted it, or rather, whether Shen Yichen agrees or not, the white-haired woman is his master's wife.

Shen Yichen felt that his master's wife's state of mind was similar to that of the old Taoist priest!

The old Taoist priest sitting alone on Guanxing Mountain is an obsession, and his master's wife traveling around the world to find someone is also an obsession. Moreover, there is a kind of freedom in the obsession of both of them - the freedom to come and go freely!

This is not just about the strength of cultivation, but also a state of mind, a state of mind that Shen Yichen cannot reach.

The old Taoist priest Shen Yichenjue could come and go freely in the world for five hundred years, and his mistress could sit alone on Guanxing Mountain for five hundred years. Their hearts were more like dead, but they were alive!

We can’t say that his heart is dead. To be precise, his heart is in a cage. The old Taoist’s cage may be the law of nature, but his mistress’s cage is definitely love!

Ji Xuanfeng has been in the martial arts world for five hundred years and has become famous. But Shen Yichen's mistress has actually walked all the paths that Ji Xuanfeng has walked, but she is unknown in the martial arts world. Perhaps no one even knows of her existence.

Shen Yichen thought about it and felt a chill. Those who blocked his way should be dead, right? And how lonely was his master's wife?

Shen Yichen was walking alone on the sand dunes. He felt like he was dreaming. In the dream, there was a white-haired master's wife whose name he didn't even know. This master's wife was a member of the Ji family.

Shen Yichen looked back from time to time. He always felt that the white-haired master's wife had not left him, but was just watching him secretly. Unfortunately, with his level of cultivation, he really couldn't sense it.

"Hey, Ji Xuanfeng, Ji Xuanfeng, what kind of person are you?"

"He's a really, really bad person. When he failed to steal, he robbed and took over!"

Shen Yichen was startled and looked around, but saw nothing. It was pitch black, but the voice was really familiar.

"Who? Come out!"

"Big brother, aren't you afraid of walking alone at night?"

A white figure came from afar and soon arrived in front of Shen Yichen.

"Little brother, why are you here?"

The person who came turned out to be a white-haired dwarf.

"Well, of course I'm looking for medicinal herbs. This place has been sealed for a thousand years. I thought there would be rare and exotic herbs, but in the end it was just endless yellow sand. I ran around for a long time and found nothing!"

The white-headed dwarf boy sat slumped on the sand dune, he looked very tired.

Shen Yichen shrugged and sat down on the sand dune.

"Any more wine? I'm exhausted too!"

Shen Yichen walked alone for a long time, looking for an exit.

The white-haired dwarf drank half of the pot first, then threw a pot of wine to Shen Yichen.

"My wine is precious, big brother, I don't have that much wine for you to drink!"

The white-headed dwarf was a little reluctant because he had drunk all the ordinary wine himself, and the rest were all high-quality medicinal wine.

Shen Yichen didn't care and drank half the pot in one gulp. Soon his body responded and all his fatigue disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yichen felt the comfortable warmth in his body, was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"Little brother, the wine is good, but it tastes really bad!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he put the remaining wine into the blood-bone glass. This wine was not simple!

The white-haired dwarf stretched himself lazily and said with a smile:

"Luckily your last name isn't Ji, otherwise I wouldn't give you any!"

Shen Yichen smiled, he knew that the white-haired dwarf was joking.

"Ji Xuanfeng has been to the Shangguan family?"

"Yes, he stayed in our library for two whole months. Even now, there are still traces of the formation left outside the library!"

The white-haired dwarf said it easily, but he was not at ease in his heart. After all, it was a shame for the Shangguan family, and it was a shame that had lasted for hundreds of years.

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this. He knew that Ji Xuanfeng had been looking for Guanxing Mountain. What was he going to do in the Shangguan family library?

Shen Yichen muttered to himself in his heart:

"Could it be that the Shangguan family's library contains clues to Guanxing Mountain?"

Shen Yichen hesitated for a moment and asked softly:

"Little brother, do you know what Ji Xuanfeng is doing in the library?"

"He was reading. He read all the prescriptions of the Shangguan family, wrote down four words, and left!"

The white-headed dwarf stood up and looked around. He was also looking for the exit.

Shen Yichen also stood up and headed north with the white-haired dwarf brother.

"What are the words Ji Xuanfeng left behind?"

"It's just a name!"

Shen Yichen chuckled and didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was also a member of the Ji family, and it was a bit of an slap in the face.

The two men soon arrived near the two cave entrances, stopped at the same time, and looked around. They both felt something.

The white-headed dwarf was very disappointed. For a herbalist, returning empty-handed is really heartbreaking.

Shen Yichen shouted loudly:

"Sister Qing, are you there? I'm still alive!"

Shen Yichen thought Sister Qing would be waiting for him here, but after calling her three times in a row, there was no response.

"They should all be returning to Jianying Holy City!"

After the white-haired dwarf finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but he suddenly turned his head and looked to the right.

Shen Yichen was also looking to the right at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he flew forward. He wanted to take a look.

"Hey, big brother, what are you doing?"

The white-headed dwarf brother also followed.

Shen Yichen quickly caught up, stood on the sand dune, and said coldly:

"Come out, since you deliberately lured me here, why are you avoiding me?"

Shen Yichen knew who it was. He followed her to settle some matters, not for himself, but for Ouyang Zhiqing.

Shen Yichen wants to protect the woman he loves. This may be his biggest gain from coming to the Dark City in the Desert. If you love, you cannot hurt, and of course you cannot let the one you love get hurt.

"Young man, it's been a while since we last met. You've become much more mature than when we were at Xiangyu Villa. It's true that when you're away for three days, you're truly impressed!"

A coffin slowly rose from the yellow sand. The voice belonged to the Five Bone-Bitter Elders. He was injured and did not leave the Dark City in the Desert. Of course, there was another reason, which was that Ouyang Qingcheng was practicing!

Shen Yichen didn't waste any words. He condensed a piece of mysterious spiritual essence in his hands, flew forward, and hit the coffin with one palm.

A huge force exploded, yellow sand surged, smoke and dust rose, and at the same time the coffin broke into two halves.

"This, how is this possible?"

The five elders of Gu Ku, with only half of their body left in the wind and sand, looked at Shen Yichen in shock. He had underestimated Shen Yichen. He had never expected that Shen Yichen could crack the coffin with just one move. At the bottom of Yinglian Lake, Shen Yichen was not that strong.

"Young Master Ji, I've been so humble and loyal to the Ji family my whole life, and yet it all ended up like this. Do you think I should kill you?"

In the sea of ​​sand, a skeleton looked at Shen Yichen grimly. That was Ouyang Qingcheng, whose spiritual consciousness had been refined into the bones.

An evil smile appeared at the corner of the mouth of the Five Bone-Bitter Elders.

Shen Yichen came here just to kill Ouyang Qingcheng. As for the five elders of Gu Ku, there was no grudge between them.

When Shen Yichen saw the smile on the corner of Gu Ku Wu Lao's mouth, he immediately understood that Gu Ku Wu Lao had deliberately lured him here, and his purpose was probably to make him kill Ouyang Qingcheng.

“Oh, the human heart!”

Shen Yichen sighed in his heart, flew forward and attacked Ouyang Qingcheng.

This time, Shen Yichen used the Holy Emperor Art of the Unity of Heaven and Earth, but it was a little different from before. This was the instruction given by his master's wife.

Shen Yichen's Holy Emperor True Essence was filled with rolling yellow sand, which looked like a sand stick, a stick made of yellow sand, but its shape was changeable.

"You, what's your trick?"

Ouyang Qingcheng's sword energy could not shatter the sand stick at all. To be precise, he could not shatter Shen Yichen's true essence because his true essence was filled with yellow sand.

Shen Yichen didn't expect this result!

The unity of heaven and earth in the Holy Emperor Art does not simply mean that all the Holy Emperor Art's true essence in heaven and earth can be utilized, but rather that the Holy Emperor Art's true essence can be integrated into all objects in heaven and earth, both tangible and intangible!

Just like the sword in the hands of a swordsman, as long as the sword intent is strong enough, everything in the world can be the sword in his hand!

"This young man is teachable, Xuanfeng. In time, he might even surpass you!"

In the pitch-black void of the dark city in the desert, the white-haired woman was sighing. She had not expected it to be like this. She had just talked to Shen Yichen about her insights, but Shen Yichen had gained so much.

Although there are still some flaws in the move, it has such an effect when used for the first time. Shen Yichen is extremely talented!

Actually, Shen Yichen had long known that there was a problem with his Heaven and Earth Unity Holy Emperor Art, but he had never been able to find a solution. His master's wife's words gave him an epiphany, and the practice of the Holy Emperor Art itself was all about enlightenment. Shen Yichen entered a new world. As for what this world was like, he didn't know yet, but he was really excited!

"Oh my god, could he be Ji Xuanfeng's apprentice?"

The white-haired dwarf looked in shock at Shen Yichen fighting with a skeleton. He had never seen Ji Xuanfeng, but the traces of the formation left by Ji Xuanfeng outside the Shangguan family library were too similar to the moves used by Shen Yichen, but there was a world of difference in strength!

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to take action yet?"

Ouyang Qingcheng was a little confused!

The Five Bone-Bitter Elders were hesitating. He had never wanted to be an enemy of Shen Yichen before, and he would not take action now.

"You've made wedding clothes for others without even realizing it. Humph, back then the Ji family chose to support you because you were an idiot, right?"

Shen Yichen was not feeling well at the moment, because with his level of cultivation, it was still very difficult for him to use such a trick!

Shen Yichen was right. The Ji family chose Ouyang Qingcheng because he was an idiot. Idiots were not only easy to control but also easier to die. Moreover, they could die whenever they wanted!
