After traveling to the world of cultivation, I rely on the game system to survive

The setting sun was as blood-red, and the tide of strange beasts began to retreat, leaving behind countless corpses of strange beasts and an equally large number of bodies of monks.

Everywhere you look, there is a cold and sad atmosphere. The entire battlefield is littered with corpses, and the corpses under the city wall have piled up to the battlements of the wall.

The monks passing by either had broken legs or limbs, or were in a hurry, and none of them had a smile on their face.

People tacitly agreed not to care for their companions who had died early, but instead quietly collected the bodies of their companions.

All that was left on the Snow Stone Mountain was the biting cold wind and endless blood.

Pei Nianyi leaned tiredly against the city wall, looking down at the young man holding a sword in the distance.

The young man first put the sword back into the scabbard, then looked over. As he raised his head, his tied-up black satin hair also rose slightly.

Pei Nianyi looked at the boy in a daze.

"I've always thought Xue Jingsi was stupid." Xia Chen seemed to be complaining as he sat next to Pei Nianyi, but his eyes were a little moist. "I don't know what he was thinking? At that time, it might not have been possible to delay it a little longer, until Uncle Xie... Why did he give up his life?"

Although he had only a little interaction with Xue Jingsi, he still felt very sad.

Chu Huaiyan and Yun Yaoqing also came over at this time. Yun Yaoqing held a sharp sword in his hand. Seeing Pei Nianyi, a smile appeared on his face: "Junior Sister Pei, congratulations on your further improvement in cultivation."

Yun Yaoqing secretly looked at Pei Nianyi and was secretly amazed in his heart.

Speaking of which, Junior Sister Pei is younger than him. They haven't seen each other for many years, and now he has no idea of ​​her strength.

"Isn't that so?" Speaking of Pei Nianyi's cultivation, Xia Chen was no longer sad and couldn't help but open up the conversation.

"Junior Sister Pei is the most hardworking and has a high level of understanding. It is well deserved that she has achieved her current level of cultivation."

Yun Yaoqing lowered his eyes, a sinister look flashing across his gentle features. He slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Junior Sister Pei, you are indeed working very hard..."

Pei Nianyi yawned, patted Xia Chen's shoulder, and changed the subject: "Let's go to Xue Jingsi's house."

Then she stood up, bowed to Chu Huaiyan and Yun Yaoqing, and turned around.

He walked away without stopping, not caring whether Xia Chen followed him or not.

Xia Chen smiled awkwardly, and looked at Chu Huaiyan and Yun Yaoqing with a chuckle: "Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Yun, don't mind. Junior Sister Pei's friend died today, and she's not in a good mood..."

Chu Huaiyan didn't mind: "It's okay, I know Sister Pei's temper. You guys go and do your work first, we'll meet at the inn later."

Xia Chen agreed and followed Pei Nianyi.

Pei Nianyi, Xia Chen and Su Huaining stood in front of the familiar courtyard, with two white lanterns hanging on the gate beam.

In the yard, A'Luo sat blankly, holding a Taoist robe that Xue Jingsi usually wore.

This gentle woman seemed to have lost all her vitality, and only numbness remained on her face.

Little girl Xue Ru's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She had lost her father and the greatest hero in her heart. She was completely different from the lively little girl Pei Nian had seen last time.

The red pomegranate flowers on the pomegranate tree are still blooming vigorously.

The flowers haven't fallen yet, but the person is gone.

Pei Nianyi walked into the yard in silence, pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Su Huaining walked forward and put down a storage bag. This was the bag that Xue Jingsi threw to him before he blew himself up. It seemed that these were all Xue Jingsi's collections.

When Luo saw the familiar storage bag, she finally reacted. She hurriedly stood up and wanted to entertain the three people, but when her eyes fell on the storage bag, tears fell uncontrollably.

"I've always known...his final destination is still the battlefield..." A'Luo choked up, and as soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Pei Nianyi handed her a silk handkerchief and patted her shoulder gently: "My condolences."

Ah Luo forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I know he was trying to protect the people in the city, to protect us mother and daughter."

A'Luo cried uncontrollably, and Xue Ru stood up straight with her small body, supporting her mother.

No amount of comfort could help Luo and her daughter.

Pei Nianyi could only turn around in silence, leaving space for the mother and daughter.

"Senior Pei!"

A childish voice called out to Pei Nianyi.

Pei Nian turned around and saw the little girl who had lost her father looking up at her, biting her lip.

"My dad, is he brave? He is a hero, right?" The little girl's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

Pei Nianyi squatted down and looked at Xue Ru straight in the eye: "Of course he is..."

"He is naturally extremely brave. One man can hold the pass against all enemies." A voice answered first.

Several people looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was Xue Jingheng.

The young man who used to be dignified in his every move now had a murderous look between his brows.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, long time no see!" Pei Nian bowed.

As soon as Xue Jingheng heard the news that Xueshi Mountain was besieged by a tide of strange beasts, he hurried over from Piaomiao Sect. However, he didn't expect that he was still a step too late. The tide of strange beasts had already receded, and he only heard the news of his brother's sacrifice.

Xue Jingheng's thoughts raced, but his face didn't show any sign of fatigue. He returned the greeting, "Fellow Daoist Pei."

Then he answered Xue Ru's questions seriously and firmly.

"Jing Si, although he doesn't have that much strength, he used his own life to keep the danger out of the city. Isn't that like a man standing guard against all odds? He is a true hero."

Xue Ru stared at Pei Nianyi without blinking, insisting on getting an answer from her.

Pei Nianyi nodded solemnly and said word by word: "Your father is naturally an extremely brave man and a true hero."

After hearing Pei Nianyi's words, Xue Ru finally smiled, a look of pride on her young face. "I told you my dad must be the most powerful swordsman, and he'll definitely become a great hero. And he did it."

Pei Nianyi rubbed his nose and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, he is a great hero, he did it."

Xue Jingheng stroked the little girl's head and said, "Ruru, your father is gone. He left in a hurry and didn't make any arrangements for you and your mother. You are my brother's only child. I don't feel comfortable leaving you in Xueshi Mountain."

"Are you willing to follow me back to Piao Miao Sect? You can practice with me."

Xue Ru nodded solemnly, his face full of determination: "Okay! I will follow you to practice, and I will kill the evil demons from outside the world."

"Children don't need to think so much. Some things should be discussed when you grow up." Xue Jingheng's voice became more relaxed.
