I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Returning with dignity is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. It requires the courage to go to death without returning, the guts to venture into the dragon's den alone, the strategy to plan every step carefully, and even more so, the unyielding will."

"Without one, nothing can be accomplished."

"Since you are determined to return with dignity, I will help you from now on."

"Go pack your things now and stay with me. I'll teach you a few things and help you prepare..."

Late at night, at the outer disciples' residence.

When Xiao Mochen walked towards his house alone, he was still a little dazed, as if he was in a dream. Even now, his head still felt dizzy, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have made a decision that would affect his life and even change his destiny.

In fact, even he himself doesn't know.

Why did he suddenly muster up the courage to say that he wanted to go back with dignity?

Thinking back now.

He only felt fear, timidity, and despair.

"You idiot, why have you been gone for so long!" When Mo Chen was feeling uneasy, a scolding voice suddenly came.

Looking back, when he saw those familiar figures, Mo Chen suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Seeing him like this, those people suddenly became impatient:

"Idiot, what are you standing there for? Have we gathered the spiritual medicine yet?"

"Hand over the elixir quickly, or we'll be punished by the master, and the blame will be on you!"

"You're so stupid. You've come back so late. Have you become stupid?"

"..."

Faced with several people surrounding him and asking for his money, Mo Chen subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he tripped and fell to the ground, covered in mud.

This embarrassed look caused everyone to laugh.

These ridicules made Mo Chen feel sad and even more terrified, because one of them saw his cowardice and suddenly asked:

"You're so panicked, could it be that you didn't get the elixir?"

These words.

Mo Chen's heart was lifted.

He no longer cared about the mud on his body and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but with so many people surrounding him, how could he have anywhere to retreat?

"You stinky boy, you really didn't pick herbs for us?"

"You're so brave! You actually dare to play tricks on us!"

"kill him!"

For a moment, fists began to fall on Mo Chen like raindrops.

pain!

Not only does my body hurt, my heart hurts even more.

Because he thought about how he had just boasted in front of that senior master that he would go back with dignity, but looking at his appearance now, he could see that he had said that in a fit of rage.

he……

I simply don't have the courage.

Tears fell again uncontrollably.

Even though the group of disciples who bullied him had stopped beating him and started rushing to the back mountain to pick herbs by himself, little Mo Chen was still crying with his head in his hands.

The only difference is.

Perhaps because there was no one around, or perhaps because he was in extreme pain, he finally stopped hiding his cries and let them echo in the alley.

"Is this the descendant of the main line of the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty?"

"Why is it so..."

"Unbearable?"

In the distance, Chu Xiangling, watching this scene, frowned with some disgust.

"There are no naturally strong people in this world. Most people go through pain and fall again and again before they become stronger. The fact that he can cry so sadly at least proves that he understands what he lacks." Gu Xiu shook his head.

"But my husband is not such a coward." Chu Xiangling blinked her eyes, but seeing that Gu Xiu was indifferent to her words, she finally restrained herself a little and looked at Xiao Mochen again:

"Husband, you seem to be very optimistic about him?"

"I wouldn't say I'm optimistic about him. I just...see something familiar in him." Gu Xiu shook his head.

Something familiar?

Chu Xiangling was confused. Five hundred years ago, Gu Xiu was a man of extraordinary talent and had hardly encountered any major setbacks. Although he had encountered a big change five hundred years later, he was still moving forward.

How could this be familiar?

However, Gu Xiu didn't say anything, so Chu Xiangling didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked seriously:

"The Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty did send me a message a while ago. Although they didn't explicitly say they wanted the child, they did seem to be trying to find out about it. They also said that an envoy had been dispatched and would arrive at the Hehuan Sect soon."

“I was a little confused at first.”

"But after hearing what you said about this child's true identity, my husband, I know that the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty delegation must be coming for this child. If you want to help him return with dignity, it would be almost like disobeying the will of the current Divine Master of the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty."

"We, the Hehuan Sect, the Netherworld Saint Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, and the Soul Devouring Hall have formed an alliance. Even the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty won't rashly confront us head-on, so as long as we play along, we can indeed protect this child."

"But once his identity is exposed, it will become an internal affair of the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty. Due to our status, there's not much we can do. You'll need to figure out a solution along the way, my husband."

"I'm afraid the journey from Hehuan Sect to Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty won't be peaceful."

Xiao Mochen was involved in the Chiyun Divine Dynasty and even had a relationship with the Lord of that Divine Dynasty. It was impossible for Gu Xiu to hide the information about a powerful person of this level, so he also talked about it with Chu Xiangling.

after all.

Not to mention Gu Xiu's identity as the Lord of the Hehuan Sect, the deep cooperation between the Hehuan Sect and Wanbao Tower alone has already destined the two parties to be in the same camp. For some things, it is better to inform in advance than to cause trouble to others later.

At this time, facing Chu Xiangling's question, Gu Xiu pondered for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xiao Mochen who had cried enough, stood up and began to pack his things, and walked out of the house, and said softly:

"I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but since this matter has something to do with me, I will intervene."

"Of course, I won't force it."

"all of these."

"It all depends on whether this child has the ability. If he truly has that courage, I will help him reach the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty safely. If he doesn't, then I will give up once the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty's envoys arrive."

This is the truth.

Although it was a coincidence that he got the token of the Divine Dynasty, he would not stand idly by since he was already deeply involved in the cause and effect of this item.

But the same thing.

He is willing to pay for this cause and effect, but that doesn't mean he is a fool. If this little Mo Chen is a hopeless case, he won't interfere.

at this point.

Gu Xiu did not hide it.

Not only did he not hide it from Chu Xiangling, he also did not hide it from Mo Chen. When Mo Chen came to the small courtyard on the mountain that he had told him about, Gu Xiu spoke directly:

"I've been contaminated by karma. In the next few days, I will work hard to repay this karma. In a few days, you will face a choice. Before that, I will not only repay the karma, but also consider whether you are worth the risk."

"Ah?" Little Mochen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly bowed, "Yes, Senior!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to your residence." Gu Xiu said, and took little Mo Chen for a walk around the mountain villa to familiarize him with the place where he would live next.

This small courtyard on Dushan Mountain is naturally not the palace of Lord Hehuan, Gu Xiu.

Instead, Gu Xiu specifically asked Chu Xiangling for it.

The spiritual energy is not very strong and the location is relatively remote, but it is quiet and no one comes here on weekdays. This can be used to prevent Gu Xiu from being slept with by those ambitious female disciples again.

"You will live here for the next few days. I will teach you some things during these days, so that you can at least survive when you are alone in the future."

"Yes, senior!"

That night, little Mo Chen stayed in the small courtyard of Dushan. He was still young, and the scene he encountered was something he had never experienced before. He was both happy and nervous in the room.

I haven't fallen asleep yet until most of the night.

After watching for a while, Gu Xiu did not sit alone in the room to practice. Instead, with a flash of light, he appeared in the ruins of mountains and rivers.

Just came in.

A figure with an extremely ferocious face suddenly rushed towards Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu was not surprised at all, so he just moved to the side. Then he saw the figure rushing past Gu Xiu with a "swish".

And just at the moment when this figure rushed past.

The Duxian Sword behind him also flew past Gu Xiu with a "swoosh", followed closely by the little black monkey and the Xiaoyao Pei.

If Chu Xiangling came to this ruined world of mountains and rivers again and saw this scene, she would probably be shocked on the spot.

because.

The one being chased by the three spirits of the Immortal Sword, the Little Black Monkey, and the Xiaoyao Pei was none other than the Sky-Seeking Eclipse Sequence, who had nearly killed the Supreme Being with his invulnerability and invincible body.

but.

Now half a month has passed, and the once glorious and powerful Xuntian Eclipse Sequence no longer has any divine light on his body. He looks extremely miserable, and the wing that was torn by Gu Xiusheng has not grown out yet.

Instead, the other wing was also cut in half.

His nose and face were bruised and his whole body was covered with wounds.

That was all caused by the Four Saints.

In fact, with the special power of the Sky-Punching Eclipse Sequence, he could even tear the void apart and escape. It was a pity that this place was Gu Xiu's small world, and there was a fine steel chain tied to his feet. Every time he tried to escape, the chain would shrink instantly and forcibly pull the Sky-Punching Eclipse Sequence back.

There is only one thing it can do.

That's sparring.

Yes.

sparring partner.

Shattered Star is a vengeful forging platform. It took it ten days to recuperate after being beaten back by the desperate counterattack of Sky-Exploring Eclipse Sequence. During this time, it also melted a lot of refining materials before it was able to recover.

As soon as his injuries recovered, Shattered Star immediately launched a military training operation.

In its words.

They are the Four Ancient Saints, and their existence is destined to be resounding throughout the world. They will get up from where they fell. The Sky-Punching Eclipse Order is extremely powerful, but they can't dig out any information. In that case, they should be put to good use.

It would be just right to borrow Xuntian Eclipse's combat experience and terrifying physical strength to help the Four Saints train their troops and help them increase their combat experience and tacit understanding.

Now look at the Eclipse Explorer who is being chased by the three spirits and is in a miserable state of fleeing.

It is clear.

The military training has begun to show results.

However, Gu Xiu was not here to watch the show this time. He bypassed the Three Saints Training Ground and came to a specially opened forging platform:

"how's it going?"

"Not very good." Suixing was looking serious, holding a bunch of tools to check the magic weapon in front of him. Seeing Gu Xiu's question, he shook his head and said:

"This Eclipse's blood is indeed as I expected. It can promote the fusion of magic weapons."

"but……"

"The most unique thing about the Seven Star Pendant is the power within it that I completely don't understand. That power is the true core of the Seven Star Pendant."

"The blood of Eclipse can fuse the Seven Star Pendant and Xiao Xiaoyao, but that power is still unshakable."

"I observed it carefully."

"If the two want to merge, there is still one thing missing."
