Hu Xiuwu said with a smile:

"We're going home."

Chapter 163 The Western Region is over

Hu Xiuwu took Chen Duo's hand and disappeared into the ghost cave underground palace with her.

Then, the figures of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo appeared in Luofengtian Fengdu City. Hu Xiuwu, wearing a black imperial robe, sat on the throne. His soul was integrated with the human world of Luofengtian, checking the situation of Luofengtian.

Chen Duo had toured Fengdu City with Zhang Qian before, and was not surprised by the sights here. She sat quietly on the imperial steps, waiting for Hu Xiuwu to send her back. She casually took out the gold-eyed Pisces jade pendant given by Hu Xiuwu from her collar and played with it, not knowing what she was thinking.

After some inspection, Hu Xiuwu discovered that Luo Fengtian had indeed absorbed enough energy from the ghost cave, which was enough for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo to return two thousand years later.

The tank is full and ready to go!

Hu Xiuwu raised his hand and wrote down the time and coordinates of the destination in the "Beiyin Fengdu Taixuan Demon Control Black Law Spirit Book", and ordered Luo Fengtian to set sail.

Before leaving, Hu Xiuwu deliberately asked Luo Fengtian to leave the mortal world in a more brutal manner, and took the opportunity to break the snake skin of the ghost cave. Although the ghost cave could not be completely destroyed, the broken snake skin was enough to prevent the Demon Mother's Unbounded Demon Eyes from contacting the imaginary space anymore.

From then on, the Ghost Mother no longer had the legendary ability to mediate fate at will, and the Boundless Demon Eye could only use the power of the remains of the Snake God that were still in the mortal world.

After the power of the snake god's remains was exhausted, the Boundless Demon Eye was lost.

Afterwards, Luo Fengtian left the mortal world and ascended back into the inner world. Relying on the unique time and space rules of the inner world, he crossed time and space and returned to the evil Luohai City two thousand years later.

······

Everyone in the Western Regions gained something.

Gao Gu got the clue of the Zhuchen Pearl from the Jingjue Palace and quietly left with his people; the soldiers of Gumo surrounded their prince Hadili and celebrated the hard-won victory; Zeluo and the King of Yanqi asked the high priest Lion for huge compensation.

Originally, relying on the fact that the soldiers of Jingjue still had the strength to fight, the high priest had the patience to discuss the amount of compensation with them. But when he saw Hadili, Gao Gu and others coming out of the underground palace, but did not see Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, he felt that something was wrong.

He was no longer in the mood to argue with Zhe Luo and King Yanqi, so he had to take a step back and agree to their demands. Only then did he get rid of their entanglement and return to the ghost cave palace.

As a result, when the high priest returned to the ghost cave underground palace, he only saw the fragmented stone platform fragments left behind by Hu Xiuwu and his men after the war, floating above the ghost cave, and a large hole in the dome of the underground palace.

Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo have disappeared.

The high priest had no time to look for the two of them. He used his telekinesis to pull his body up and flew to the fragments of the stone platform to look for the body of the Queen of Jingjue.

The red robe of the Queen of Jingjue was quite eye-catching. The high priest spotted her at a glance and couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that all was not lost.

Hu Xiuwu did not destroy the body of the Queen of Jingjue. After all, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan both relied on the ghost cave to become extraordinary people. Although there were some twists and turns, the result was good. Since this was the case, Hu Xiuwu naturally welcomed it and did not want to interfere in this history.

Under the control of the high priest's telekinesis, the corpse of the Queen of Jingjue floated up from the ground without any wind, standing in front of the high priest as if she were still alive.

The high priest stroked the Queen of Jingjue, whose face was horrifying and terrifying due to the extreme pain before death, and said with regret:

"I told you a long time ago not to be too ostentatious, why didn't you listen?"

"It's also our fault that we were too impatient and didn't teach you well."

Back then, the Demon Kingdom was defeated by the Snowfield Alliance, the last Ghost Mother was killed by King Gesar, and Guru Padmasambhava destroyed her boundless demon pupils.

Moreover, in the Demonic Kingdom, only the Ghost Mother has the ability to communicate with the Snake God and utilize the remains of the Snake God, so the Ghost Mother has both the identities of king and pope.

Everything in the Demon Kingdom is based on the power of the Snake God. So after the death of the last generation of Ghost Mother, the people of the Samsara Sect had no choice but to dig out the first generation Ghost Mother who had been buried long ago for the sake of their faith and their own interests, and use her leftover Unbounded Demon Eyes as a medium to communicate with the Snake God.

But through a pair of boundless demon eyes as a medium, it was ultimately not as direct and clear as the communication between the Ghost Mother and the Snake God. Drinking water with a straw was not as refreshing as drinking it directly.

Therefore, after the fall of the Demon Kingdom, the Samsara Sect has been trying to cultivate a new Ghost Mother, but has not succeeded after spending a hundred years.

Therefore, some members of the Samsara Sect became discouraged and unwilling to waste their energy on the snow-capped mountains, so they came down from Kunlun Mountain and came to the Western Regions to seek a new way out.

The Samsara Sect has been sacrificing the Snake God and using the Snake God's remains for many years, and has its own way of finding traces of the Snake God.

Relying on secret methods, this part of the Samsara Sect priests successfully found the Ghost Cave, and established the Jingjue Kingdom on the Ghost Cave, taking root in the Western Regions, hoping that there would be different results in the place where the Snake God was born, and that they could cultivate the Ghost Mother.

But after a generation of Jingjue died, the original apprentices of the Samsara Sect all became high priests, but they still failed.

The high priest, whose patience had been exhausted, lowered the standards for a ghost mother candidate and shortened the steps to train a ghost mother candidate in order to train a ghost mother as quickly as possible.

This includes the process of instilling the belief in the Snake God into the candidates. He believes that as long as the Ghost Mother candidate can awaken the Boundless Demon Eyes, she will naturally submit to the great and vast power of the Snake God and become a loyal believer of the Snake God.

After his reforms, the number of ghost mother candidates who could only be selected a dozen times a year was suddenly expanded to hundreds, greatly increasing the probability of cultivating a ghost mother.

After another ten years of hard work, with bones piled up like a mountain in the dark room, he actually succeeded in cultivating a new ghost mother who possessed the boundless demon pupils, the Queen of Jingjue.

But unfortunately, he miscalculated on one point. The Queen of Jingjue had indeed become a believer of the Snake God, and it was the Snake God who saved her from hell.

But she hated the priest who had abducted her from her home and locked her in a dark secret room full of corpses.

The Snake God is vast and great, who are you? I am the only one who can communicate with the Snake God, who are you?

His biggest mistake was to mistake himself, who was blessed by God's gifts, for being God.

If the high priest had not seen the situation was not right and knelt quickly, demonstrating his own value, he would have been killed by the Queen of Jingjue later.

After the demise of the Demon Kingdom, the remnants of the Demon Kingdom in the Samsara Sect had learned their lesson and learned to keep a low profile.

But although the Queen of Jingjue spared the life of the high priest and appreciated the way he begged at her feet, she did not listen to the high priest's advice at all. In fact, because she had suffered inhuman treatment, after gaining the power over everything, she became more aggressive in compensating herself and imposed the pain she had suffered on the countries in the Western Regions.

Let the world feel the pain.

For this reason, after discovering that Hu Xiuwu and Hadili were trying to assassinate the Queen of Jingjue again, and that the chances of success this time were very high, the high priest chose to stand by and watch, allowing the Queen of Jingjue to die in their hands.

The Queen of Jingjue, who was floating in front of the high priest, suddenly opened her eyes.

The high priestess treated it as a magical weapon, controlling her boundless demon pupil to pry the remaining power of the ghost cave, merged the remaining fragments of the stone platform together, and condensed a new stone platform and stone bridge plank road that was much smaller than the original stone platform.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Queen of Jingjue's body from rotting, he took out a small piece of Kunlun sacred wood from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.

After the Kunlun sacred tree fell to the ground, it took root and sprouted under the stimulation of the power of the ghost cave. The high priest controlled the growth of the Kunlun sacred tree, making it grow into the shape of a coffin, and buried the Queen of Jingjue inside it.

The high priest Anquan was unaware that Hu Xiuwu had already dug up the roots of the ghost cave and the imaginary space. He was squandering the power of the ghost cave and was very optimistic. He thought that since Jingjue had succeeded once, it could succeed a second time. The only difference was that this time he had to strengthen the respect of the ghost mother candidates for the sacrifice.

But all this has nothing to do with Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo. The rest is Western Region’s own business.

In modern times, in the city of Eluohai,

Hu Bayi and Liao Zhong watched as the surrounding buildings quickly lost color and became mottled, like a mirage at noon, and disappeared without a trace like a fog or a dream, leaving only ruins. This was the evil Luohai City that was breached by the Snowfield Allied Forces that year.

Liao Zhong took Hu Bayi by his side and said earnestly, "Brother, listen to my advice. Try not to hang around Longhu Mountain and Wudang in the future. If the Heavenly Master's Mansion collapses, the old Heavenly Master will be very scary when he gets angry."

Hu Bayi shook Liao Zhong's hand off and said angrily: "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with the evil Luohai City becoming like this!"

Liao Zhong acted like he was trying to coax a patient who was unwilling to accept the truth: "I understand, I understand. Just keep my words in mind."

After teasing Hu Bayi for a while, Liao Zhong pressed the communicator on his ear, intending to contact Chen Duo to inform her to prepare for retreat, only to realize belatedly that Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu had lost contact with them.

Liao Zhong's expression changed instantly: "Oh no, something happened to Duo'er."

When Hu Bayi saw Liao Zhong say this, he ran straight towards the direction where Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were, and he knew that Liao Zhong had lost his composure because of his impatience.

You can't run as fast as I can hide underground.

Mr. Hui Er directly attached himself to Hu Bayi's body, grabbed Liao Zhong, and took him underground, speeding away.

······

the other side,

Just a second ago, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were sucked into the out-of-control ghost tomb.

In the blink of an eye, their figures reappeared in the same place, as if nothing had happened.

But the memories of the Western Regions in Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo's minds, their tightly held hands, and the familiarity between them like childhood sweethearts, seemed to be declaring that something had become completely different.

Chapter 164 Whale Fall? Snake Fall!

Hu Xiuwu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene nearby, and finally let go of his worry. He stretched his body and said with emotion:

"Huh~ I'm finally back. This journey was really long."

After sighing, Hu Xiuwu suddenly remembered something and turned to Chen Duo and asked, "By the way, Duo'er, can you please do me a favor?"

Chen Duo asked, "What help?"

Hu Xiuwu pointed at Chen Duo's bare hands, and shook off his clothes, which had become a little worn after several months of use.

"We have both changed so much. When Liao Zhong arrives, he will definitely ask us what happened. You can just tell him the truth about everything else. There is only one thing: can you please not tell him about Luo Fengtian?"

A treasure like Luo Fengtian has extremely strong strategic significance both in the world of aliens and in the military. It is no exaggeration to call it a national treasure.

Back then, the matter of Feng Baobao caused Zhao Fangxu to come and warn him. If he knew about Luo Fengtian's situation, the situation would probably be even more serious. Even if Na Dutong was an upright person and would not snatch the treasure from him, he would not sit idly by and watch him run around the country with Luo Fengtian.

Nadutong can tolerate a storage treasure, but it can never tolerate a cave that can carry an army and accommodate a rocket silo.

If Nadutong knew the whereabouts of Luo Fengtian, the best outcome would be to recruit him, just like Chen Duo, or make him a temporary worker. From then on, he would always live under the strict surveillance of Nadutong and would not be as free as he is now. But the greater probability is that he would be trapped in a bunker and placed under house arrest.

When it comes to national affairs like these, family background is of no use.

Explain the interests to Chen Duo.

Chen Duo grew up in the bunker, so she naturally knew very well what life was like in the bunker. Everyone in the bunker had their own work to do, and even Liao Zhong didn't have time to spend more time with Chen Duo. People like Chen Duo felt lonely in the bunker.

Although she was tempted to have Hu Xiuwu accompany her in the bunker, she ultimately respected Hu Xiuwu's own wishes more, just as Hu Xiuwu respected her choice.

Chen Duo nodded: "No problem."

Hu Xiuwu said: "I know the company has a lenient bench that can identify lies. If they ask you, you don't have to lie. Just put the blame on me."

Anyway, Lao Zhao has known that I have a secret, so this one doesn't matter. When the time comes, I can just say something vague and let him think that this matter is related to Feng Baobao's secret, and he will help me cover it up.

Hu Xiuwu said excitedly: "The original poison in your body has been solved. There is no reason for me to imprison you like before. You can come to Sijiu City to find me, or I will come to find you during the summer vacation."

"Then I'll take you out shopping."

"Ah."

It can be seen that Chen Duo is very interested in this matter. Although she is still taciturn and her delicate face has no expression as usual, there is a glimmer of hope in her eyes. That light makes her less otherworldly and more innocent as a girl of her age.

The two were in a lively mood, chatting enthusiastically.

The sky showed strange phenomena, the stars disappeared, and the seven-color rainbow illuminated the earth.

Brilliant colorful auroras flowed across the night sky like blood, turning the dark night sky into an endless sea of ​​seven-colored light.

It was like a river of light pouring down upon the earth. These gorgeous clouds filled the night sky and even obscured the stars. Only the moonlight, like a silk thread, penetrated the colorful veil, adding a touch of silver background to the sea of ​​light, adding color to the sea of ​​light.

This celestial phenomenon was not only visible in the city of Eluohai. From south to north, from east to west, this magnificent sight could be seen everywhere in the mortal world. Anyone who saw it was shocked and moved by the scenery.

This scene is only seen once in a thousand years. After all, it is the selfless sacrifice of a god who has presented such a spectacular view to all living beings in the world.
