ninety thousand miles

Chapter 666 Fishing
Afterwards, they talked about what happened in the Cangwu wilderness.

Jiang Mei recounted what happened after they arrived at Cangwu Wilderness. While he was recounting, Elder Cangming listened silently, and Elder Chu occasionally raised some questions.

He spoke for a full hour.

After finishing her story, Jiang Mei also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chi Lin has been dormant for tens of thousands of years, waiting for an opportunity to appear. The opportunity he is waiting for should be sixty-nine years later, when the nine stars gather together and the demon star is born. The demon star he bet on... may be a half-demon, but it is more likely to be a White Walker, or a half-demon parasitized by a White Walker."

Sect Leader Chu said: “Now as long as we guard the Cangwu Plain, he will be helpless.”

"Not necessarily." Cang Ming Hall Master retorted: "He could choose before, so he bet on the half-demon. Now he has joined the demon spirit, and the demons are good at controlling demons, so their choice is probably the demon race."

"Thirty thousand years ago, Xuanmen was able to wipe out both the gods and demons, so it's natural that it can do it now," said Sect Leader Chu.

“Not necessarily.” Master Cang Ming retorted again, “In the past thousand years, demon cultivators have indeed declined, but if I think of them at random, there are more than a dozen demon cultivators who have achieved something. In addition to these dozen, there are also… immortals from the upper realm who have made their mark in the mortal world.”

"The imperial court is suppressing the demons." Li Chuan said.

"Yes." The head of Cang Ming nodded and said, "The catastrophe has begun, and everyone is in it. Judging from the current situation, Chi Lin and Mo Ling, the remnants of the two gods and demons, seem to be the source of this catastrophe, but it is also possible that they are just the most superficial layer. During the gods and demons catastrophe, more than 90% of the cultivators of Xuanmen died, and the casualties of mortals were in the hundreds of millions. This time, the catastrophe will not be stopped by capturing Chi Lin and Mo Ling."

"Do so many people have to die?" Li Chuan asked.

"Definitely." Master Cang Ming was very sure. He said, "If the calamity continues, people will definitely die. But this is not a bad thing. The great calamity is a great disaster, but it is also a rare opportunity. After the great calamity, this world will also usher in a new life and new prosperity. The fairy world may also have another true fairy." He looked into the distance and said, "Therefore, all Xuanmen can do is to preserve the seeds and wait for the next revival."

Everyone fell silent.

After a long while, Sect Leader Chu said, "You must be tired after traveling all the way here. Let's find a place to rest first."

"Okay, then let's just walk around here." Wen Guying said.

At this time, Li Chuan remembered something and asked, "By the way, where is Immortal Yun Yi? Is he on the island, or has he entered the Luoxia Secret Realm?"

"He is on the small island over there." Elder Cang Ming pointed to the east and said, "After he came, he has stayed there and never left. I wanted to visit him, and people from other sects also tried to go there... He left a murderous aura on the sea, blocking everyone."

Li Chuan looked towards the east and could vaguely see a small island.

Elder Cang Ming saw what he was thinking and said, "I advise you not to go there rashly. If he wants to see you, you will be able to see him naturally."

"That's right." Li Chuan withdrew his gaze.

Afterwards, Li Chuan and his companions walked around the island. When they came to a big tree, Lao Xiaokai said, "Rest here for a while. It's almost time for you to take your medicine. I'll boil some."

Li Chuan was also a little tired, so he said, "Okay, I'll take a break."

Wen Guying said, "I will go a little further and then take a look at the entrance of Luoxia Secret Realm. You guys wait for me here."

"I'll go too," said Jiang Mei.

"Let's go then." Wen Guying said.

After Wen Guying and Jiang Mei left, Li Chuan turned around and saw Lao Xiaokai had already started a fire and was placing a pottery pot on it. He walked to the tree, sat down, and said, "Finally, I can rest for a few days. I hope everything goes smoothly here and nothing goes wrong..." After saying that, he knew that this was unlikely, so he said, "Just a few small setbacks will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Gong Er and Pang San also walked to the tree.

Gong Er said, "This time, Hall Master Cang Ming is here, as is Sect Leader Chu, as well as the Sect Leaders and elders from other sects. Oh, and Immortal Yun Yi is here too."

Li Chuan felt very nervous after hearing this, and he said, "Let's not discuss this." He looked in the direction of Luoxia Secret Realm, and looked at the ink mark that seemed to be there and not there between the sea and the sky, and took out the Bodhi Bead from the Zuihong Ring, "Do you think that Feng Huanyi and Luoxia Secret Realm, or Yingfeng Immortal, have any...indirect connection?" "Are you still thinking about Aunt Feng?" Lao Xiaokai said after taking a look at the Bodhi Bead.

"No," Li Chuan denied. He said, "This magic weapon is not the real one. The real one should be in Luoxia Secret Realm."

"It might have been brought out by a monk who entered the secret realm." Lao said with a smile.

"Maybe, but...her magic seems to be very similar to the inheritance of Immortal Yingfeng."

"Maybe it was that monk who taught her." Lao said with a smile.

Li Chuan said, "Maybe." He paused and said, "This string of bodhi beads was given to her by a friend... I always thought it was a half-demon woman, or the Spirit Fish King. But... it could be someone else."

He stared at the Bodhi beads, and in a trance he seemed to smell that damp scent again.

Then he smelled medicine.

After putting the Bodhi beads back, he looked towards the direction of Luoxia Secret Realm again. This time he saw the figures of Wen Guying and Jiang Mei standing on the line between the sea and the sky.

"He just attacked Master Chu, as if he was acting for you." Lao laughed and said.

"If you don't stir up trouble, you won't be able to live like this, right?" Li Chuan looked at Lao Xiaokai.

"I'm just reminding you." Lao said with a smile.

"He asked for an explanation for me, isn't that good?" Li Chuan talked about the matter at hand, and then he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "The demon star should have been the Black Horn King."

"No way? Isn't he dead?" Lao said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Chuan said.

"What are you thinking about?" Lao asked with a smile.

"How to calm down the evil spirit?" Li Chuan said, sitting up straighter. "We probably won't see what happens sixty-nine years later, but I won't be willing to accept that after all my hard work, it will all be in vain."

"So what if you're unwilling?" Lao asked with a smile.

"I always want to try it again." Li Chuan said.

"Then... take the medicine," Lao Xiaokai said, handing him the medicine bowl, "Take care of your body, and then you can do it again."

Li Chuan took the bowl, blew it to cool it down, and drank it.

Until the bright moon hangs high in the sky, Wen Guying and Jiang Mei have not returned yet.

Li Chuan listened to the sound of the waves and gradually felt sleepy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a cold wind blew on his face. He opened his eyes and found that he was in a strange place.

He stood up and saw a small boat floating in the sea not far away. A fairy in white was sitting on the bow, apparently fishing.

Immortal Yun Yi.
