However, not long after everyone ran out, they heard a loud noise behind them. When they turned around, they saw flames shooting into the sky and the fog cleared.

In the flames, several groups of black human figures were rolling and wailing, but Zhang Mu knew that they were definitely not mute!

Those twisted, mutated, weird and tall humanoid black fogs are all the evil spirits and ghosts that were chasing after them before.

Now these ghostly and evil things have been burned to the ground with a fire?!

No, this is no ordinary fire!

Zhang Mu and his companions behind him were dumbfounded, watching the golden phoenix bird rise into the sky in the blazing fire, hold its head high, lower its head and spit out fire, submerging all the ghosts in the sea of ​​fire, and then brightened sharply, stinging everyone's eyes.

At the same time, a bright light suddenly exploded, and the fiery phoenix rolled up and burned with flames all over the sky. It spread rapidly. Not only did it rush towards Zhang Mu, but Zhang Mu could not dodge it, but everyone behind Zhang Mu was also involved.

Some people were quick to use their swords to escape, but the swords were burned to ashes as soon as they were lifted up. The strange thing was that their bodies felt no pain in the fire. They could only find it difficult to control their limbs, and their consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally they fell into deep darkness.

Before Zhang Mu lost consciousness, he vaguely saw a person walking slowly from the flames.

The phoenix bird occupies the back, its wings are so dazzling and indescribable.

This sight was burned into everyone's soul.

Until He Xiyun woke up from a long coma and had the hallucination that he was dead, he still firmly remembered the figure slowly walking out of the fire, like the return of the king and the arrival of the gods.

Wherever the flames hit, all monsters and monsters were destroyed, leaving no trace of dust.

Not dead yet?

He Xiyun casually grabbed the cold yellow sand in his hand and let the quicksand slip through his fingers. He looked up at the starry sky and finally landed on the stranger sitting cross-legged not far away, with a look of confusion on his face.

She remembered the last moment before she fell into coma. She and her companions had no retreat. Evil spirits and ghosts were attacking in groups. Zhang Mu stood behind them, and then——

He lost consciousness.

It's not as unpredictable as the underworld here, it's more like the mortal world outside.

It's so pitiful, it's been a long time since I felt the breath from the human world.

"May I ask what your friend's name is and where is this place?"

Under the starlight, she looked at the other person carefully, feeling strange yet familiar at the same time.

"My name is Chang Ming." The man spoke slowly, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. "I don't know here either."

The familiar voice and way of speaking immediately reminded He Xiyun.

"Are you the mute?!"

I accidentally revealed the nickname behind my back.

It turns out that the mute's name is Changming.

Chang Ming said that those evil spirits are both the end and the beginning.

If they were devoured by evil spirits, their bones would disappear, and their remaining souls would linger in the underworld, they would end up like that.

But they were saved.

Those evil spirits were burned to death, and together with the raging flames, they broke through the underworld barrier and gave everyone a way to live.

After narrowly escaping death, they actually got a glimmer of hope.

He Xiyun and Chang Ming were able to escape and landed on the edge of the desert in the mortal world.

Other companions, like them, may be scattered all over the place and escape by chance, or they may miss the moment when the barrier breaks out and cross, and are still stranded in the same place, looking for the next opportunity in the desolate world.

He Xiyun was dumbfounded.

"It seems that a phoenix bird saved us..."

Changming took out a charred wooden sculpture and could still vaguely identify its original appearance.

He Xiyun was surprised: "Fellow Taoist can actually control the art of turning objects into gods?!"

Chang Ming said nothing and casually threw the burnt wooden phoenix bird aside.

Only then did He Xiyun concentrate on looking at him carefully.

The other party changed into plain clothes, and his hair was pulled back and tied loosely.

Her face was washed clean and no longer unkempt. She looked unexpectedly clear and bright. The only vertical lines between her brows were tightly knitted, as if old memories were weighing heavily on her heart, which made He Xiyun feel heavy.

But those eyes are completely opposite to the brows.

It is vast, bright and clear, and can hold everything in the world.

He Xiyun took one look and couldn't help but take another look.

"The name of Taoist brother Chang Ming is Chang Ming who always carries the light?"

"It is the everlasting light that shines brightly throughout the night."

"If there are no stars, moon and lights in the long night, how can we get the everlasting light?"

"This heart is ever bright."

One question and one answer, concise and to the point.

He Xiyun seemed to understand something, but the thought passed quickly and he could not capture anything.

On the contrary, Chang Ming slowly regained his ability to speak and began to ask some questions.

He Xiyun found that the other party seemed to have been in hell for a long time, so long that he had lost consciousness of the changes in the world outside.

She couldn't help but feel anxious when she recalled that she had pushed Chang Ming out in order to save her life.

"I'm sorry, at that time we..."

Various excuses and reasons came to her lips but she could not express them. He Xiyun's cheeks burned in panic.

After learning from the painful experience, she stood up and kowtowed to the other party three times.

"My fellow Taoist saved my life twice, but I repaid him with kindness. I'm really ashamed!"

Chang Ming glanced at her lightly and asked an irrelevant question.

"The current dynasty in the world is still dominated by the Hong family?"

"Hong's family?"

He Xiyun was stunned for a moment, "Is it the Xinghong Dynasty that fellow Taoist said? That was a few decades ago. Now the world is divided into three parts. You Kingdom, Luo Kingdom, and Zhaoyue Dynasty, each occupying one side, have checks and balances on each other.

.In the past few decades, demons have been rampant and the world has been unstable. Naturally, the world has been in turmoil and people's hearts are surging."

Chang Ming frowned slightly: "What about the major Xuanmen Immortal Sects?"

He Xiyun: "There are many large and small sects, such as the Shenxiao Immortal Mansion and the Wanjian Immortal Sect. They are all sects that have stood for hundreds of years. All Taoist friends must have heard of them, but some of them have recently changed their owners."

Chang Ming hummed.

He Xiyun: "There are also some sects that have recently emerged, such as Penglai Island, Liuyimen, Qingyunyuan, Jianxue Sect, etc., which can also be regarded as powerful and the leader of one party. Especially Jianxue Sect, the leader is moody and unhappy.

He kills people on sight, but he is a man of profound cultivation, so no one can do anything to defeat him."

Chang Ming tilted his head, looking confused.

"Are there many new masters who have emerged recently?"

He Xiyun thought for a while and said: "In the past twenty years, there have indeed been many, such as Zhou Ke, the leader of the Blood Sect, Buku Zen Master of Qingyunyuan, Yiyezhou on Penglai Island, Clivia of the Twenty-Four Pips, and the Lord of the Nine Abyss.

Yun Weisi, they are all famous master-level figures... Fellow Taoist Changming, why do you look so weird?"

"These people you're talking about—"

It seems that a few of them are still his apprentices.

He betrayed his master, and his master and apprentice turned against each other.

Chapter 1

He once had four apprentices.

All four of them have their own strengths and are amazingly talented.

Anyone picked up will be a master-level master in the future. If given the chance, he might be able to break through the limit and soar immediately.

Now it seems that they did not ignore everyone, proving that they were not wrong that day.

pity--

Thinking of the past, Chang Ming felt his ears begin to buzz and buzz, like hundreds or even thousands of mosquitoes swarming into his head, causing chaos and confusion. The clamoring disturbed all the energy, blood and spirit in his head, which made him happier.

At the same time, all the hot blood surged from his limbs, fingertips, and soles to his heart, which made him so nervous that he almost vomited blood.

"Fellow Taoist? Taoist brother Changming?"

Seeing that his expression was not quite right, He Xiyun quickly stopped talking and stepped forward to take a look.

The other party's brows were furrowed, his face was cold and pale, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.

He Xiyun subconsciously held Chang Ming's wrist, trying to regulate his inner breath, but when his own spiritual power was input into it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

It was like there was a whirlpool in Changming's body, and as soon as her spiritual power entered it, it was like mud and rocks sinking into the sea, leaving nothing behind.

He Xiyun subconsciously wanted to evacuate, but found that although the other party had no spiritual power at all, there was an inexplicable force that firmly absorbed her spiritual power, making it impossible for her to withdraw even if she wanted to.
To be continued...
