Long River Eternity

When Hao Fei and Nv Ba rushed back to the soldiers' tomb, the first thing that caught their eyes was Liu Xianxian, whose body was radiating a faint multicolored light. Her figure was light and graceful, like a dream flower floating in the night sky, suspended in front of the Queen Mother of the West.

She gracefully formed seals with her hands, and her fingertips seemed to be inlaid with tiny stars, flashing with a faint and lively light, as she was performing some mysterious magic.

At this time, the Queen Mother of the West was shrouded in a faint halo. The halo was like light smoke in the dusk, appearing and disappearing from time to time. She was in an extremely unstable state and seemed likely to disappear into the void at any time.

Hao Fei was already suspicious of Liu Xianxian and could never let down his guard.

At this moment, seeing her casting spells on the Queen Mother of the West, alarm bells immediately rang, mistakenly thinking that she was disrupting the Queen Mother of the West's awakening process.

His pupils shrank sharply in an instant, like a cold star startled in the night. Anger burned fiercely in his chest, and he roared, "Ye Tingxue, what are you doing?!"

Driven by anger, Hao Fei turned into a sharp water arrow and shot towards Liu Xianxian at an extremely fast speed.

However, just as he was about to approach Liu Xianxian, a dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the sky like a giant dragon and struck him in front of him.

The power of the lightning was so strong and powerful that it forced him to stop in place, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The lightning gradually dissipated, and Wei Wu's figure appeared and stood in front of Hao Fei.

Wei Wu frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone, and said: "Why are you so nervous? Xianxian is helping the Queen Mother of the West to stabilize her soul. Don't make trouble here!"

"Stabilize the soul? Could it be that just now..." Hao Fei's mind quickly flashed through the fatal blow delivered by Queen Mother of the West, and he immediately realized that this blow might have affected the process of her soul and body becoming one.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his eyes were full of shock and regret.

Hao Fei has always found it difficult to fully trust Liu Xianxian, but he does have a little more trust in Wei Wu, who looks exactly like Shi Gang.

Therefore, he suppressed his worries, kept his troops in place for the time being, and waited quietly for Wei Wu's explanation.

Wei Wu didn't have a deep understanding of Hao Fei's character, and he was originally worried that if Hao Fei didn't believe it, it would take a lot of time to explain it, and it might even lead to another fierce conflict if they disagreed.

However, what he didn't expect was that he was able to appease Hao Fei so easily this time.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he then slowly said, "Originally, the fusion of the Queen Mother of the West's body and soul was going very smoothly, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the established trajectory.

However, a sudden explosion from above shattered the tranquility. The explosion was so violent that it caused a strong fluctuation in the spiritual energy surrounding the Queen Mother of the West.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce pressure and powerful energy burst out from her body. The power was like a volcanic eruption, shaking the entire soldier's tomb.

The energy burst lasted only a moment before receding quickly like the tide.

When the outburst ended, Xianxian keenly discovered that the soul that had already been partially fused was slowly leaving the body of the Queen Mother of the West. So, she decisively used the secret technique of the Heavenly Soul Body to try to help the Queen Mother of the West stabilize her soul. This stopped the Queen Mother of the West's soul from disintegrating.

At this point, Wei Wu looked past Hao Fei and looked behind him. His expression instantly became nervous and he asked anxiously, "Where's Teacher Yang? Did something happen up there?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Fei gently waved his hand and comforted her, "Sister Nian is fine. Someone just injured Hantian, but the aftermath of the attack also injured Xiaobai, and she is treating Xiaobai's injuries.

The severely injured Hantian refused to accept defeat and attempted a counterattack, but was struck by the Queen Mother of the West's divine judgment and fled in dismay. I believe it was the Queen Mother of the West who forced herself to launch this attack, disrupting the process of her own spiritual and physical unity.

As Hao Fei spoke, his gaze once again fell on Liu Xianxian, who was helping the Queen Mother of the West stabilize her soul. A complex intertwined emotion filled his eyes: confusion, suspicion, and a hint of indescribable anticipation. He said in a deep voice, "Is she really not Ye Tingxue?"

"She was born in this era and her name is Liu Xianxian, not Ye Tingxue. The most we can say is that she inherited Ye Tingxue's heavenly soul body and the memories of Ye Tingxue in the heavenly soul body." Wei Wu said with a firm gaze and a decisive tone.

After hearing this, Hao Fei was silent for a few seconds, then he sighed softly and asked sincerely, "What about you? What is the relationship between you and Shi Gang?"

"Me too..." Wei Wu originally planned to say that he was also born in this era, but his mind involuntarily emerged with the countless identical clones of himself in the laboratory and his own perfect body.

In an instant, his eyes dimmed. After a brief pause, he slowly spoke, "I think I was born in this era. My name is Wei Wu, and as for Shi Gang..."

At this point, Wei Wu fell silent again. A flash of disgust flashed across his eyes, and then he sighed helplessly, "Although I don't want to admit it from the bottom of my heart, it was indeed Shi Gang who created me."

"'Created' you?" Hao Fei's face was filled with suspicion. As early as ancient times, they had known that due to some unknown factors, none of them could reproduce. Therefore, Hao Fei immediately realized that the "creation" Wei Wu mentioned was not in the physiological sense.

Soon, an answer emerged in Hao Fei's mind. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "You mean, are you a clone of Shi Gang?!"

A bitter smile appeared on Wei Wu's lips and he nodded slightly.

"What the hell!" Hao Fei couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "What on earth does that old man Lao Shi want to do?"

As Hao Fei spoke, he flew slowly around Wei Wu with great interest, his eyes sharp as a torch, carefully sizing Wei Wu up and down.

He frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "This is strange. Theoretically, the clone should be exactly the same as the original.

But looking at your appearance, there are still some differences compared to Lao Shi. Could it be that he used you as a sample to conduct genetic experiments?"

Hao Fei frowned slightly, a hint of pity in his eyes, and continued, "If that's true, Shi Gang is indeed unkind. He's really inhumane to you clones, and can even be said to be cruel."

Suddenly, Hao Fei seemed to remember something. His eyes widened and he shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "Wait! You just said that Lao Shi was dead. Could it be that he used himself as an experiment and it went wrong, so he ended up like this?"

"That's not the case." Wei Wu replied calmly, "He wanted to kill me in order to take back the soul that was separated from my body.

With Xianxian and I resisting, we successfully reversed the situation, becoming the host and completely wiping out his consciousness, thus taking control of this body."

Wei Wu was prepared in his heart that after he admitted that he had killed Shi Gang, Hao Fei would lose control of his emotions and might even attack him in anger.

However, the reality was far beyond his expectations. Hao Fei said nothing, but stared at Wei Wu with a dull look, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly unconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, with a "puff", Hao Fei burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the air with a bit of madness and contempt.

Even Nvba, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth involuntarily after hearing what Wei Wu said. She shook her head slightly, and her action was full of disbelief. Obviously, she also had doubts about Wei Wu's words.

"Hahaha! You're saying that you and that reincarnation of Ye Tingxue, with your combined strength, were able to possess Old Shi's body?! Hahaha!" Hao Fei laughed even more recklessly, as if he had heard some truly absurd joke. With a hint of sarcasm and ridicule, he then added emphatically, "You're saying that just you, a brat not even at the Lord Realm, and a little girl with a Heavenly Soul Body still in its growth stages, were able to possess the body of the Thunder Emperor, a figure who terrorized the demon race in ancient times and whose power was second only to Canghuang Yang An?"

Looking at Hao Fei laughing wildly, his laughter was like a sharp needle, piercing Wei Wu's nerves.

Wei Wu frowned. Hao Fei's laughter, which was obviously full of sarcasm, was like a fire burning in his heart, making him unhappy.

However, an inexplicable sense of foreboding quietly gathered in his heart like a dark cloud.
