Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1167: Three Lives and Three Worlds Waiting for Your Return
Feng Qingyan looked at the slowly opening city gate, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "This is the city that resurrected the twelve ancient emperors."

"resurrection?"

King Wu was slightly shocked, and then he suddenly realized, "So that's why it's called 'Yin Yang Rebirth City'."

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can it really be resurrected?"

"Nothing is absolute." Feng Qingyan said as he walked, "If you don't try hard, how can you know that it is impossible?"

Although the existence of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation City of the Dead was one of the greatest secrets of the Nine Provinces, could it be greater than Feng Qingyan’s identity? Feng Qingyan had already told King Wu about his own identity, so what difference would it make if he told King Wu about the origin of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation City of the Dead?
The dead city in the God and Demon Cemetery was no different from the dead city in the Netherworld Bone Realm. They were basically cities of the same pattern. After Feng Qingyan entered the dead city, he glanced at the outer city and found that the situation was similar to the previous dead city.

The same weirdness is rampant.

However, what surprised Feng Qingyan was that there was no "taboo" guarding this dead city. In his previous speculation, every dead city should have a "taboo" guarding it. But why didn't this dead city have one?

His eyes fell on the inner city, and he also found no trace of "taboo".

"Humph!"

And at this time.

King Wu snorted coldly and rushed directly towards the strange darkness that was spreading towards them.

The strange creatures in the outer city were not very scary, and he could guard them when he was the emperor. However, these strange creatures could not be killed or eliminated, and seemed to have endless vitality. After killing them once, they would grow again after a while.

If it weren't for the Ghost Lord who has been suppressing it, the strange creatures and terror in the Dead City would have already invaded the Dead City long ago.

King Wu had been to the City of the Dead several times and had helped the Ghost Lord to kill strange creatures.

But every time they were unable to be completely killed.

It's like a thorn in the flesh.

Rumble!
The aura of King Wu burst out, causing the heaven and earth to shake violently. The strange darkness that spread like a mad vine was immediately shattered by the terrifying aura. King Wu's aura was as powerful as a rainbow, turning into rays of divine light, and then killed the strange creatures around him.

The strange creatures in the outer city could never be a match for the current King Wu.

However, in the blink of an eye, King Wu had destroyed most of the strange creatures, but unfortunately he was unable to track them down to the source.

"This strange thing is very difficult to deal with and can never be completely eliminated."

King Wu stopped and said, then took a step back to Feng Qingyan, "Your Majesty, where did this strange thing come from? If the Ghost Lord hadn't been guarding it before, it is very likely that they would have walked out of the Dead City and invaded the Great Wilderness World. If they were allowed to invade the Great Wilderness World, I'm afraid they would become even more terrifying, and they might crazily invade other worlds..."

“These weird things are really too entangled.”

King Wu frowned slightly.

"These strange things are the result of the interweaving of many reasons, and eventually they were discovered to be mutated and evolved." Feng Qingyan said after a moment of hesitation.

He did not make a move at this moment. After all, King Wu had just made a move. If he made another move, wouldn't it be like slapping King Wu in the face?
"Why is she called Ghost Lord?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

"I don't know about that." King Wu was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "I haven't asked before, isn't it just a name? Does this name have any other meaning?"

"It doesn't really mean anything, it's just a little unexpected." Feng Qingyan said, "Where is she?"

"It's in the darkness of the dead city. There's no specific place."

Wu Wangdao glanced around and saw that there was no fluctuation of the ghost master's breath around. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "But now, alas, I'm afraid it has completely dissipated."

"Ghost Lord, I'm here, are you there?"

he said.

Unfortunately, the ghost master did not respond to him.

Every time he came to the Dead City before, the Ghost Lord would show up, chat with him, drink wine, eat meat...

King Wu can be said to be the Ghost Lord's only friend.

Because he was his only friend, when King Wu was in danger, he rushed out without hesitation and eventually fell in the void outside the domain of the Kyushu World.

"Ghost Lord, I brought new friends."

King Wu spoke again.

As King Wu was speaking, Feng Qingyan looked around at the darkness but found no traces.

"Didn't you say you were waiting for someone?" King Wu walked on the quiet street, saying, "Why are you leaving when you haven't waited for that person yet? You once said you would definitely wait for that person..."

"Is the person you are waiting for our emperor?"

"Now our emperor has returned."

King Wu said loudly.

The sound continued to echo in the dead city, but unfortunately the ghost master still did not respond. He was indeed dead.

At this moment, King Wu came to the Hundred Ghosts Bridge, looked at the dirty and smelly river water, raised his head to look at the dark sky, and said softly: "You haven't waited for the person you are waiting for yet."

"Who is the ghost master waiting for?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

"I don't know." King Wu shook his head and said, "I once asked her, but she said that she didn't know who she was waiting for. She only knew that she was waiting for someone. As long as she waited for that person, she would die..."

"Is that so?"

Feng Qingyan frowned slightly, and understood vaguely in his heart.

The person the ghost master is waiting for might be him. In fact, the ghost master has already waited for him.

In the outer void of the Kyushu universe, hadn't the Ghost Master waited for her? Because she had waited, she died.

And at this time.

King Wu suddenly understood, his body trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is that so? She, she has been waiting, waiting..."

"Ugh--"

Finally it turned into a long sigh.

Feng Qingyan didn't say anything, but looked into the darkness, searching for traces of the ghost master. A moment later, he crossed the Hundred Ghosts Bridge, came to the inner city, crossed the square, and came to the deepest part of the dead city.

Black fog rolled in.

Rising from the abyss.

And in the abyss, there is a bronze coffin hanging...

"If not here, then where?"

Feng Qingyan was thinking.

"Your Majesty, which Heavenly Emperor is buried in the coffin?" King Wu came over and took a look at the bronze coffin under the abyss and said, "Is this the source of the strange things?"

"It should be the Divine Emperor." Feng Qingyan said, "As for the source of the strange things, yes and no, it's hard to explain in a few words."

"This strange thing is very difficult to deal with. Will it affect the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven?"

King Wu asked. With his power as the Emperor of Heaven, he was not afraid, but with his power as the Emperor of Heaven, he could not completely kill the strange creature. For the time being, this strange creature was not a question of whether it was strong or not, but a question of whether it could be completely eradicated.

Although the Emperor of Heaven is in charge of killing and fighting, his power is beyond the reach of heaven.

However, we can only kill the plants on the soil, but cannot eradicate the roots under the soil.

These strange creatures were like plants growing in the soil. No matter how powerful King Wu was, he could not dig their roots out from under the soil.

“It’s a big impact, but don’t worry.”

Feng Qingyan Road.

"That's great." King Wu said, and after a pause, he said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. After the scavenger goes to Cangtian Realm, I will also go there."

"Be careful. I'm here, so you don't have to risk your life." Feng Qingyan nodded. "You are like this, and so are the soldiers of Jiuzhou. Now the world's situation is in my Jiuzhou, so there is no need to risk your life. If you encounter someone you can't deal with, let me know first."

"Find it clear."

King Wu nodded, bowed, and turned to leave.

When he was about to walk out of the dead city, he took a long look, but unfortunately there was still no sign of the Ghost Lord.

The ghost master is dead forever.

She's gone.

"God damn it!"

When King Wu walked out of the Dead City, he suddenly roared angrily, tore the space with his hands, and strode away.

The deepest part of the dead city.

Feng Qingyan looked around and suddenly a brilliant divine light burst out from his body.

The divine light flowed like water, quickly purifying the strange things in the dead city. In just a moment, all the strange things in the dead city were cleared away. With his current strength, clearing the strange things was just a matter of raising his hand.

The sky over the dead city became clear.

No longer drowsy. "The flower blooms for a moment, its beauty lasts only for a moment." Feng Qingyan whispered to himself, and then closed his eyes to sense it, "It dies in this life and blooms in the other side."

"Open on the other side?"

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised, so he walked out of the dead city and quickly returned to the underworld.

He came to the end of the Cliff of Resurrection and looked at the other side, but there was no figure or trace of the Ghost Lord on the other side.

Epiphyllum is not the red spider lily.

but.

This blood-colored Epiphyllum will become the blood of the red spider lily after death.

That is to use her blood to mold the red spider lily.

"If it's not this other shore, then where is the other shore?" Feng Qingyan said to himself, "In this world, only in my Netherworld is there the other shore, the real other shore..."

"Then it can only be..."

He left the underworld and returned to the dead city in the cemetery of gods and demons.

“Flowers bloom on the other side.”

he said.

After a while.

He saw a flame in the darkness, a blood-red flame, very bright and dazzling. However, it was separated by layers of time and space, layers of darkness, and he could not touch it.

He pondered for a moment, then took a step into the unknown and mysterious darkness.

but.

He could never reach the darkness where the flame was, which was really separated by layers of time and space. It was a flame, and also a drop of the essence of heaven and earth...

"Higanbana, the essence of heaven and earth..."

Feng Qingyan muttered to himself.

When he saw the flames, he received countless pieces of information and basically figured out the identity of the ghost master and why the red spider lily was just budding but never blooming.

The Ghost Lord's previous and previous life was a drop of blood essence of heaven and earth.

Before the ancient times, this drop of blood gave birth to its own consciousness and became the most gorgeous Epiphyllum in the world. But the Epiphyllum only blooms for a moment, and when it blooms, it means the end of its life. After the death of the Epiphyllum, it turned into a woman...

This drop of blood from heaven and earth can make the flower of the other shore bloom.

but.

He couldn't reach where she was.

This is her other side...

At this moment, Feng Qingyan sat cross-legged in the darkness and began to deduce in his mind.

It wasn't long before he got his answer.

So he got up and returned to the dead city. He first lit up the throne of the dead city and let the throne condense the will of the gods. The emperor buried in this dead city was the God Emperor, named "Gu", who used iron towers as weapons and had suppressed countless evil creatures.

The Emperor of Heaven who was buried in the White Bone Area of ​​Netherworld Realm was Emperor Wu, and his name was also "Wu".

Just cultivate your hands and you can tear the sky apart.

When he had completely completed the matter of the Dead City, he left the Dead City and returned to the underworld.

On the cliff of resurrection.

Feng Qingyan stood looking up at the sky, looking for that darkness.

This is a dark place before the ancient times. It seems to have existed before the creation of the world. It is extremely ancient and distant. Separated by endless time and space, it seems to be in a different world. The essence of the world is located here.

That's why he couldn't reach it.

Only look, not touch.

No matter how powerful he is, he cannot reach that dark place. This is why the ghost master is waiting for him.

Because only the Ghost Master can take him back to that darkness to pick up the essence of heaven and earth. And the Ghost Master turns into an ephemeral flower, blooms for a moment, and then returns to the essence of heaven and earth again.

This means that.

No one could take him back to that darkness.

Only the Ghost Master can reach that mysterious darkness...

Rumbling--

At this moment, a white jade bridge suddenly appeared behind Feng Qingyan. It was the bridge of guidance.

I saw the bridge of guidance running through the two worlds of yin and yang, leading the yang to the underworld.

The bridge is crowded with dead souls.

countless.

As he thought about it, the Bridge of Guidance suddenly reached out into the mysterious darkness, and went little by little towards the world where the essence and blood of heaven and earth were.

"The power of time and space..."

When the bridge of guidance was built towards the mysterious darkness, it was subjected to the extremely terrifying force of time and space.

But now, it is not the Bridge of Guidance that is fighting against time and space, but the entire underworld, the entire netherworld.

as time goes by.

The bridge of guidance was finally built in the mysterious darkness and landed in front of the drop of flaming blood.

Feng Qingyan stepped onto the bridge of guidance and walked step by step towards the "other side" in the darkness.

As he walked, he felt the terrifying force of time and space, as if it was going to tear him apart. But in the end, the force of time and space was still unable to destroy the bridge...

Shortly after.

Feng Qingyan came to the other side of darkness.

A drop of indescribable blood essence was floating in the darkness, sometimes turning into a night-blooming cereus, sometimes into a woman in red, and sometimes into a woman in white.

Sometimes it is a burning flame.

The first life was as an epiphyllum, blooming with the most gorgeous beauty in the world.

In her second life, she was an unknown woman in red, but she was a prominent figure in the early prehistoric era and once dominated an era.

The third life is the Lord of Ghosts.

To be precise, in the third life, she was a woman in white named Shang, who met Feng Qingyan named "Hui" in the late prehistoric times.

After her death, she became the master of ghosts.

"I came back, but you died."

Feng Qingyan stood at the end of the bridge, looking at the dancing flames in front of him.

However, when he spoke, the essence of heaven and earth turned into a woman in white, a woman in white with unrivaled elegance. She looked at him quietly, as if they were looking at each other across time and space. Although she said nothing, everything was implied.

"Shang, I'm back..."

He spoke softly.

but.

The woman in white did not respond, but continued to watch quietly, and then turned into a gloomy and terrifying ghost master. However, even after turning into a ghost master, he still did not come back; the ghost master guarded Jiuzhou and was seriously injured, but he still did not come back. And when he turned into a ghost master, he had already forgotten him...

But deep down, I knew that I was waiting for someone to return.

Now he is finally back.

But she died.

Epiphyllum is the essence of heaven and earth, the woman in red is the essence of heaven and earth, and the woman in white is also the essence of heaven and earth. However, the essence of heaven and earth is not the woman in white "Shang", not the ghost master...

Countless pieces of information emerged from the essence of heaven and earth.

However, he still could not remember his past life. He only knew that he had known "Shang" in his past life and she had been waiting for his return.

Even if I have thousands of words to say at this moment, they can only turn into a long sigh.

"There are flowers on the other side, like blood, like fire..."

Feng Qingyan spoke lightly.
