Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

"Mother, I'm back!" Wang Zhang led a large group of people, crowding into a villa of the Wang family. The group stood guard in front of a door, their faces anxious, wishing they could push the door open immediately.

After waiting for a while, Chen Yizhi could hardly wait any longer. With a creak, the door to the room opened from the inside out.

An elderly woman with a full head of white hair walked out of the house.

The woman had white hair like jade, and a beautiful and refined face. Looking at her face, she seemed like a young woman in her early twenties. Looking at her expression, her eyes were as calm and deep as an ancient well, which was far beyond what a naive young girl could possess.

Even though he was worried about his second grandson, Wang Zhang managed a smile with red eyes when he saw the woman.

He quickly stepped forward and helped the woman up, saying, "Mother, you..."

The woman's name was Liang Ying. She was Wang Zhang's mother and Wang Xuanzhi's great-great-grandmother.

Liang Ying, supported by Wang Zhang, walked out of the room. Looking at the large group of people in the courtyard, she waved to Wang Caozhi, who was rushing over, "Zizhong, come here."

Wang Caozhi rushed over, supporting Liang Ying on the other side, and hurriedly asked, "Great-grandmother, what about my brother?"

Liang Ying pulled away the hand that Wang Zhang was supporting and patted Wang Caozhi's hand, "Xiao Er will be alright."

"Great-grandmother, do you know anything?" Before Wang Caozhi arrived, he was with the people and monsters that Dao Yi and the others had helped before. Under the leadership of monsters such as Qian Xiaoyang and Man Da, they were driving away those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an.

At first glance, he thought his younger brother was gone, that two grown men had vanished into thin air. He assumed the messenger had lost his mind.

However, in order to confirm whether Wang Xuanzhi was alright, he returned to the Wang family villa first.

When Wang Caozhi didn't see Wang Xuanzhi and Dao Yi, his heart sank to the bottom.

"great grandmother"

Wang Zhang interrupted Wang Caozhi's urging, "Alright, Zizhong, don't disturb your great-grandmother!"

Liang Ying protected her grandson, saying, "Zizhong is worried that his younger brother has done something wrong. It's my fault, this old woman. I haven't figured out where to start. Since they've left this world, let's start from when I came into it."

"The Wuxiang you speak of and I come from the same place. Our original place is called the Cultivation Realm. I was born in a tribe called Baimin. As you can see, people in our tribe are born with white hair."

Liang Ying smiled slightly, "Fortunately, my children and grandchildren were born with black hair, so they don't have to suffer strange looks in this world with thin spiritual energy. All of this is thanks to my old man."

Wang Zhang proudly puffed out his chest, which was almost unbearable for the crowd to watch.

"In the past, our white hair might have been a good thing in the cultivation world. But then something happened that caused our tribe to fall apart. Like rats in a gutter, we had to hide here and there. This white hair became the source of our Bai Min tribe's misfortune."

"Because this is the cultivation world, spells and similar methods are completely ineffective in the hands of high-level cultivators to conceal this full head of white hair. Also, our blood is somewhat special; once our relatives are captured, no matter how far they run, they will be brought back."

"I also heard about someone undergoing a tribulation of lightning while I was hiding. If you are lucky enough to be near the tribulation, the benefits you can gain are considerable. If you are even more fortunate, your cultivation can be improved by leaps and bounds. At that time, I will not be afraid of enemies. It would be best if I could use this opportunity to find my family."

"But I didn't expect that."

Liang Ying had been holding back her anger for years, and finally seized the opportunity to burst out cursing, "That damned dog Wu Xiang, I don't know what he did to incur the punishment of the heavens. The lightning struck so hard that within dozens of miles, not a blade of grass grew. I'm afraid he still has a chance to survive."

"Everyone thought Wuxiang was doomed, but he actually crossed time and space to come to this world and cause trouble. It seems that the guy has done too many bad things, so he took precautions when he was undergoing the tribulation. He actually used the power of heaven to set up a time-space array at the location of the tribulation in advance, so that when he couldn't withstand it, he could instantly move to a safe place. When he saw that he couldn't hold on any longer, he activated the array."

"Using the power of heaven to transcend time and space, the power of heaven is rare and hard to come by. Risk and opportunity coexist. As long as the person who sets up the formation is powerful enough, the blood of our Bai people can easily move the formation."

Chen Yizhi exclaimed in surprise: "Perhaps this is his biggest purpose in establishing the 'Five Characters Department'."

Liang Ying nodded, "Wu Xiang took a huge risk by using the Heavenly Dao. Obviously, he made the right bet, but he did not expect how powerful the Heavenly Dao is. It directly took him across time and space. After enduring multiple tribulations of lightning, Wu Xiang's situation in this world must not be good. Otherwise, this world would only be more chaotic."

"I'm just unlucky. I wanted to get closer to the lightning tribulation, and I ended up being caught in the formation set up by Wuxiang."

Ling Xuzi coughed. "If I may ask a question, may I inquire how old you are this year?"

Everyone: ".", It is indeed quite presumptuous. We all want to ask him if it is appropriate to ask this now.

Ling Xuzi pretended not to see the expressions on these people's faces. Wu Xiang was already quite old, but Liang Ying still looked like a young girl. How many emperors throughout history had pursued immortality? This was called being prepared for a rainy day.

Liang Ying knew his good intentions and said meaningfully, "Some people in the cultivation world have said that the Bai people tribe only appears in virtuous times."

Wang Zhang: "The current King of Qin seems like a good person, but the sliver of his fortune stolen by Wu Xiang will likely fall into the hands of his descendants."

Ling Xuzi disliked seeing him like this the most. "By the time of the Qin princes and grandsons, how many will still be able to see it?"

Liang Ying glared at Wang Zhang, stopping the bickering between the two disciples, "The Xie family will be here soon."

Two grown men had vanished out of nowhere, and now no one dared to utter a sound.

"Great-grandmother, you said that the two of them went to your original world?" Wang Caozhi asked uncertainly.

Liang Ying nodded, glanced at Wang Zhang, and said, "When I married your father, it was initially just to use the Wang family and conceal my identity. I was caught in the battle and my body was damaged. I couldn't return home on my own, so I wanted to have a child. But out of all my children and grandchildren, only An Dao inherited my bloodline."

Liang Ying sneered, "Perhaps it's all thanks to Wuxiang; my daughter-in-law, Zhaixing, is a woman with a tragic fate."

The entire Wang family in the room lowered their heads in shame, realizing they were useless for failing to send their loved ones home.

"Later, when your grandfather was arrested, I had left a drop of my heart's blood on him. Knowing he was unharmed, I assumed he was out having affairs and didn't look for him."

“Mother,” Wang Zhang said, his old face filled with grievance. “I made a bone flute from my own rib and gave it to Andao, hoping that one day he could lead this old woman home.” Liang Ying turned her head away. “Andao was always a well-behaved and sensible child. I couldn’t bear to see him suffer even the slightest harm. Later, when he lost his hearing, I was even more unwilling to let him become a sacrifice for my journey home because of my obsession. I never expected that he would still be gone today.”

"Mother."

"great grandmother"

"Mother."

"."

Unable to return home, the Wang family couldn't even utter a single word of persuasion to keep them here.

Liang Ying wiped away a tear that had fallen unnoticed. "Now that I have a home in this other world, I'll have An Dao, that child, go and check on the people in the Bai tribe for my great-grandmother. I'm sure they're all doing well."

"Madam, I heard that An Dao's blood has been drained from his body. Even if he goes to the cultivation world you mentioned, can your clansmen save him?" Qin Yun and Xie Jin arrived with the Xie family. She stopped the anxious Xie Jin and told herself to remain calm. "Will my Xiao Yi and An Dao ever come back?"

Ling Xuzi: "Xiao Yi has a special physique. She can convert the power within her body into her own in the shortest amount of time. Moreover, she has a hard spiral tortoise shell on her body and Xiao Bifang by her side. She can safely cross over."

Ling Xuzi only said whether people could pass through safely, but he couldn't say whether Dao Yi would come back again.

Even though Liang Ying had experienced traveling through time, she wouldn't dare to confidently say that she could definitely come back.

The Wang family's villa was quiet for a moment.

"I've come to tell you!" Suddenly, an old voice rang out from above the courtyard.

"It's you!" Wang Zhang and Ling Xuzi exclaimed in unison, excitedly.

The person who came was the old man who had told fortunes for Wang Zhangling, Xu Zi, and Xu Wei.

"Sir, how have you been all these years?" Wang Zhang bowed, and the latter nodded, "You're very kind."

Recalling the past, Ling Xuzi felt somewhat ashamed. "Old sir, we were useless and couldn't protect Brother Xu."

"He was destined to face this calamity. You two just need to do your best." The old man looked at the two elderly fellow disciples without any fluctuation in his gaze. "The unexpected event I mentioned before, the young lady of the Xie family and the young boy of the Wang family, is one of the unfortunate ones."

"Their fate was predetermined."

No wonder the old man said that if something unexpected happened, the 'one' would be on the two of them. Ling Xuzi and Wang Zhang exchanged a glance and quickly recounted what had happened back then.

With a wave of his hand, the old man created a scene in the sky above the villa.

Dao Yi and Wang Xuanzhi lay side by side on a bed made of vines, which resembled a tree hollow in terms of its furnishings.

Just as the scene appeared, someone entered the room. After entering, this person peeked through the crack in the door and carefully observed the situation before walking towards the two people on the bed.

"Brother!" Liang Ying rushed towards the man, and the scene vanished in an instant.

She approached the old man, somewhat incoherently, "Quickly, let me see my brother again."

The old man shook his head, his emotions unwavering. "To allow them to see the scenes from another dimension is already going against the will of Heaven. The reason I'm showing them to you today is because the Wang and Xie families have done something for this world that deserves my intervention."

"This is your reward!"

"Traveling across time and space to two worlds is against regulations and will not be allowed to happen again!"

After saying that, the old man's figure quickly faded away, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

Liang Ying instinctively tried to grab him, but just like when she lunged at the screen earlier, she missed.

Ling Xuzi and Wang Zhang looked up at the same time, and a thought came to them about the old man's identity.

Once Liang Ying calmed down, Qin Yun stepped forward and took her hand, tears welling up in her red eyes. "Madam, that person was your brother. Could he have hurt Xiao Yi and the others?"

Liang Ying gripped his hand tightly. "The Bai people are the most united. My brother was able to meet Andao and the others because of the bond of blood. Only my brother and I survived in our family. He sensed that his blood relatives were there, which is why he found them."

“Ke Xiaoyi”

Liang Ying: "Their marriage certificate is certified by the heavens. Ordinary people can't tell the difference, but those in the cultivation world can tell it at a glance. My brother can too, so my brother would never harm Xiao Yi."

"Xiao Yi, are An Dao and the others really not coming back?"

Qin Yun finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears. Xie An and his wife also couldn't help but wipe away their tears, and Xie Daoruo and his siblings were even more grief-stricken. Chen Yizhi's spear fell to the ground and smashed into the stunned Chen Shuguang.

"."

The courtyard was packed with people and monsters. Xie Jin put his arm around Qin Yun and looked at them one by one. These people and monsters were all Xiao Yi's friends and family who had fought alongside them. Qin Yun choked up and said, "Thank you for accompanying Xiao Yi all these years."

"Xiao Yi might be a reincarnation of some deity, sent to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Our Xie family can't afford to raise her, nor can we protect her." Xie Jin's voice was hoarse beyond belief, forcing out a smile that was more like a grimace. "Perhaps that cultivation world is her original world."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard looked up at the figure whose origin and location were unknown, and everything about it was shrouded in mystery.
