The Spirit World

Chapter 257 The Priest

"It's not a good place anyway." Baqi saw the dancer looking over here, turned back to look at Li Xiangyi, and touched his chin: "Why are you all here? I'm quite surprised, you guys."

"Why? You're the only one who can come and see a beautiful woman?"

"What? No way, just look, I'm not hiding it from you."

Bachi fell backwards and leaned on Tilon's chest: "Everyone go and rest, didn't I tell you? Why are you following me?"

"Isn't this lively?" Jacob sniffed. He seemed to have a cold. His back was hunched and he looked much shorter.

"The road is very dangerous. Our two guides seem to have not figured out the situation yet." Kaili looked at Chang Yufeng with some resentment. Chang Yufeng really felt that he might have been harmed by himself.

After all, Kairi was responsible for clearing the way, but Kairi was naturally gloomy and not as cheerful as his brother Lhodra.

"Yeah." Kaili shrugged. Due to the change in route, his work as a "pioneer" and exploring the way became extremely difficult due to the negligence of the two young guides.

"What's the matter with the Dark Claw cat demon that was resurrected on the road." Li Xiangyi crossed her arms, looked at the campfire, and slowly shifted her gaze to the Giorgios people who were setting up the scene. Their hair was sometimes red and sometimes shiny because of the flames.

"Dark Claw Cat Demon?"

Bachi didn't seem to understand what Li Xiangyi was talking about. He looked back at her and blinked in confusion: "What is that? Have you seen these things on the road?"

"Hmph." Li Xiangyi turned her head away, too lazy to pay attention to Bucky.

"It's really strange that the Dark Claw Cat Demon came back to life." Kaili placed his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his eyes also on the campfire: "I heard from you that they actually attacked you. I was scared when I passed by, but they had no breath at all and were all dead, so I was just surprised and didn't care. If..."

"That's not your fault. Kairi, you did a great job." Bachi waved his hand lazily, interrupting Kairi's words. "This is not something that must be reported. You are just a dark claw cat demon. There is no need to keep it in mind."

"But that was the Dark Claw cat demon that came back from the dead." Li Xiangyi emphasized again: "Resurrection from the dead. From a dead thing to a living thing."

"So what? The dead one is the Dark Claw Cat Demon, and the living one is also the Dark Claw Cat Demon. What's the difference?"

Butch looked up at the sky and said nonchalantly, "I told you, there's no need to take it to heart, it's just a small thing. Have a good rest, you have to get up early tomorrow, this is the big deal."

He propped his head up with his arms and yawned, "If you don't want to watch the bonfire party, either go to bed or find something else to do."

"Fox." Tilong patted Li Xiangyi's shoulder and smiled happily: "The captain said, don't take it to heart, just have a good rest."

"Tilong, this is his first time leading a team independently, and it's like this...he..." Li Xiangyi was annoyed by Bachi's blind confidence. To be honest, the resurrection of the Dark Claw Cat Demon was no trivial matter. Although it was a Dark Claw Cat Demon, there must be something big happening behind this Dark Claw Cat Demon.

Butch played it down as if he had never experienced it and didn't take it seriously at all, which made her extremely angry.

Tilong just smiled and shook his head, leaving Li Xiangyi to give up and turn around and leave.

The smoke from the bonfire slowly rose into the sky. Chang Yufeng looked back at Li Xiangyi's back. She quickly disappeared in the crowd. Chang Yufeng then looked at the dancer standing quietly beside the bonfire.

She had long fiery red hair, and her silence seemed rather desolate compared to the dancing spirit just now. Her white skirt fluttered in the red wind from the bonfire, looking extremely unrestrained.

"You all go back with her. Protect Lord Rosades."

Bachi waved his hand and asked the people behind him to follow, but he held Tilon's leg and asked him not to move.

The people from the Wolf Fang Guild could only follow Li Xiangyi and leave. Bachi called Kaili again and asked him to set up some protective barriers and be careful not to let anyone enter the barriers.

Kairi knew what Bucky meant, nodded and followed.

There were so many people sitting around the campfire, but no one knew each other and they couldn't speak each other's language, but it didn't feel noisy at all. It was a very magical thing.

After eating the chicken leg, Xun Huangying wiped it on Tilon's clothes twice, then jumped from Bachi's head to Chang Yufeng's shoulder.

Chang Yufeng glanced at him, and he looked at Chang Yufeng in confusion. The two looked at each other, and they were both confused.

"Wow, the Giorgos." Xun Huangying lay on his shoulder and turned over to sleep. He uttered these words lazily and surprisedly from his lungs: "They dance quite beautifully."

"Yes." Bachi responded to him faster than Chang Yufeng. They both lay lazily. Tilon's calves were thick and strong, like a pillar standing on the ground. Bachi looked at the Giorgios people around the campfire with some boredom. They were shouting and performing another show.

"There is a strong spiritual power fluctuation nearby." Xun Huangying glanced at Bachi and said to Chang Yufeng: "You should know it."

“Yeah,” Butch said again, yawning.

Xun Huangying couldn't hold it in anymore and looked at Bachi with a wink. He was originally chatting with Chang Yufeng, but Bachi responded too quickly and Chang Yufeng could only listen.

"That's the one I told you about." Xun Huangying didn't explain it clearly. He looked at Bachi again and accidentally saw Lin'er looking at him. He quickly turned sideways and smacked his lips like a sleeping Buddha: "Tsk, she might know that you are leaving Wenti County and will come to fuck you right away."

"I mean, snap."

Chang Yufeng was confused at first, but he soon realized that [Lan Luo] might have been lingering around the Arc Forest. According to Xun Huangying, once he left Wenti County, he would be hunted down by Lan Luo. Although he didn't know the cause and effect, Xun Huangying was most likely not lying and he came to give him a reminder.

What Xun Huangying meant was simply that Lan Luo was coming here. Xun Huangying's perception ability was self-evident. If he said Lan Luo was coming, then Lan Luo would definitely come.

It is estimated that Xunhuangying had already noticed the matter of the Dark Claw Cat Demon on the way, it just depends on whether he personally thinks it is necessary.

The black wind blew through the black ice crystals. A few hundred meters away, frozen flowers were slowly falling from the sky. Lan Luo walked slowly along the forest path.

The purpose of her trip must be herself!
Chang Yufeng was a little stunned. He didn't even know that Lan Luo was in the Arc Forest. How could he know that Lan Luo was attacking him...

But this time it was Bucky's turn to be unable to respond. He opened his eyes wide and said with a bitter face: "What? You are so young? And you have enemies with you? That's quite impressive, young man."

Bachi half-believed and half-doubted while joking. He looked at Chang Yufeng with some fear. Everyone also looked at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng was puzzled and could only spread his hands helplessly. Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng with awe, and Chang Yufeng could only smile bitterly.

"Hahaha, but don't be afraid. Whoever comes, we will have to leave Wenti County." Bachi touched his mouth and said, "But, by the way, why did you want to come to this damn place? Everyone - seems to have come here at the same time."

Bachi looked around. Crescent Lake was a small place, but it attracted too many people. Bachi must have been here many times and knew how many people were usually here.

Today's grand occasion is unprecedented, and the crowds of people make one think one has arrived at a famous street market.

"Ice Crystal Poison Scorpion. It's the Ice Crystal Poison Scorpion that appeared on the small stove."

Mami ate her biscuits and put her feet in front of her.

"So, I, we changed our route."

She was a little hungry, but ate slowly, blowing the crumbs off her skirt as she watched the dancers around the bonfire.

"You did the right thing, but remember to tell me in advance next time."

After saying this, Butch sat up and suddenly became silent again.

Chang Yufeng's eyes went dark, he was still thinking about Lan Luo, and couldn't help being a little absent-minded.

Lan Luo, the first great devil, the memories of twelve years ago came flooding back. Chang Yufeng, who was held in his arms, had eyes filled with fear and could only watch Lan Luo coming with the sword in his hand.

Strong winds, lingering snow, and blood.

It appeared before his eyes again and again, pulling his soul into the abyss.

Bachi took his sword off his waist and stuck it into the ground.

His voice was low, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and a few strands of grass were swaying in the wind.

"Jack, I really want to ask you a question. You'd better answer me seriously."

Bachi was so serious that Chang Yufeng had to come back to his senses. He shouldn't have made such big movements and changes in expression, but when it came to Lan Luo, he seemed to have difficulty keeping calm.

I don’t know if it was Bachi who did it on purpose or if Chang Yufeng had lost his composure, but after Chang Yufeng finished answering, he stood up directly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him so excited, Butch's eyes lit up.

"Tomoe Mami, take Shirley back. Just like Kairi, don't let anyone in or out of the barrier we set up. Jack and I have something important to discuss."

Bachi looked at Mami sideways, his seriousness evident.

Mami didn't quite understand why her brother suddenly became serious, but she could only pull Shirley away. Shirley didn't understand why and kept looking back, eating biscuits and blinking her big eyes rapidly.

Seeing that Mami Shirley had left, Bachi turned his gaze to Lin'er again. Lin'er seemed to be guessing what Xun Huangying meant. Xun Huangying stared at her for a long time before she noticed that Bachi was looking at him, and she immediately stood up.

"You don't have to leave. When I ask him, I'm also asking you."

Bachi placed his hand on the hilt of the sword standing on the ground. His long sword was also very special. It looked like the blade of a short sword was melted and lengthened again, forming a two-inch long protruding blade, like a protruding bamboo shoot. However, this bamboo shoot had a smooth blade and was extremely sharp.

In the light of the campfire, the sword belonging to Bachi glowed slightly, just like red-hot rust that turned hot and red in the fire, which was extremely creepy.

"Please sit down. I'm just asking you a few questions. I won't embarrass you." Butch suddenly laughed, and his soft voice sounded innocent: "Is it a little scary? Hahaha. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Although I look scary, I have a kind heart."

The more innocently he smiled, the more obvious the scar on his face became, making him look rare and fierce.

Chang Yufeng and Lin'er looked at each other, then looked around. No one was looking here, but the shining sword blade was right in front of them. It was impossible to say that it was not scary.

As long as Bachi drew his sword, the size of the sword could directly chop down the two of them, so there was no way they could sit closer to Bachi.

They didn't sit down, and when Butch sat down, he was at the same level as their shoulders. It seemed like they were looking down at Butch.

"Okay, then, let's get to the point."

Bachi glanced at Xun Huangying and said, "Hey, what do you think of this sheep? It doesn't seem to be as obedient as a summoned creature, nor is it as pure and holy as an elf. It looks like a rogue sheep-shaped monster... It's quite magical."

As soon as he said this, Chang Yufeng and Lin'er looked at each other again. He was so serious just to ask this.

"Yes, a rather special elf."

Chang Yufeng continued to lie as he had said before, but Xun Huangying exposed Chang Yufeng without any hesitation.

He twisted his waist, stood up after eating and drinking, stretched himself, and lay down again.

"I'm a god, not some garbage elf. I've told you so many times."

"Right."

Chang Yufeng spread his hands.

But Bachi refused to admit it. He had seen through Chang Yufeng's lies.

It is not difficult to see that Chang Yufeng is hiding something, and this lamb can explain everything.

Bucky was hinting at something and must want to get to the bottom of it.

He let Chang Yufeng and Lin'er stay alone, and every move and every word he made was extremely serious, all for the purpose of revealing what Chang Yufeng was hiding.

Chang Yufeng guessed that he was also a smart man and it was impossible for him not to know that he was hiding something, but he could not admit it voluntarily.

Bachi shook his head and looked at Chang Yufeng with an extremely disappointed and cold brow: "You are still lying to me, Sir Jack. This is not conducive to our subsequent conversation and countermeasures."

What countermeasures?
Chang Yufeng didn’t know which level Bachi was on, but if Bachi thought far ahead, he would definitely know that Xun Huangying was definitely different from others.

What is Xunhuangying?

Is he a god? Is he Lord Xunhuangying? Or is he just a rogue lamb?
He was too self-centered. He ate, drank, and slept as he pleased. He didn't worry about anything. He was calm around Chang Yufeng and didn't ask Chang Yufeng to do anything for him.

In fact, when Chang Yufeng thought about it carefully, he really didn't pay attention to what Xunhuangying was.

This feeling is very strange. Xunhuangying can be a funny lamb, the god in charge of justice three thousand years ago, or an omniscient and omnipotent god. He seems to have no worldly desires.

But they eat, drink and have fun without any worries.

He stayed by Chang Yufeng's side without any clear purpose, and never simply provided help to Chang Yufeng. He also would not make things difficult for Chang Yufeng and ask him to act according to the assigned tasks. He also did not do anything coercive, nor did he use his divine power to make others do this or that.

It's strange that searching for a deserted shadow seems dispensable.

In a sense, Chang Yufeng, who has lost Xun Huangying, might become more independent-minded.

"My sword is called [Ritualist]. It is an ancient sword that can communicate with people. I was only nine years old when I took it over from my father." Bachi's serious expression never faded. "My father told me that the Ritualist is inhabited by an ancient swordsman. I killed countless monsters with it, and that's why I was able to wake him up briefly at certain times and chat with him."

Chang Yufeng didn't know what Bachi meant, but he could listen and it wouldn't be wrong. He could feel that Bachi wanted to tell him something very important, or even that something big was going to happen.

Did Bachi also sense that Lan Luo was approaching here? If so, then there was no way to hide the fact that Lan Luo was targeting him.

Bachi gave him an unfathomable feeling. This man with a scar on his face must have a lot of stories. As the president of the Wolf Fang Guild, he personally commissioned the task, which shows that this commission should not be thought of too simply.

Although Buggy didn't spend much time with him, it was obvious that Buggy's attention was always on him. The change in Mami and Shirley's attitude towards him was probably related to Buggy.

These things can be known by just thinking about them, but what can be done about it? No one knows what Lan Luo wants to do. She appeared in the Arc Forest and slowly approached him, and he felt so empty inside.

He cried in the car, not because he was scolded, but because he felt helpless. For many things, what does it matter if you know?

Even if he has said that he will fight for it, what is he fighting for...what can he fight for?
What can a child who has never been to school until the age of twelve fight for? Can anyone give an answer?

It may be difficult, but what can we do? We are the ones who are alive, not others. After all, we are the ones who will feel the pain when we get hurt.

I am not too afraid of death, or rather, fear is something that comes without any reason. Wouldn't it be a pity to die at such a young age?

But in this world, there are countless young lives lost. Human life is not a fleeting flower that disappears in an instant without a trace.

perhaps.

He looked at Bucky and felt that Bucky had no hostility, so he slowly sat down. Lin'er stood there, cold and silent.

Bachi finally looked Chang Yufeng straight in the eye, and the fiery red long sword named the Priest stood between them.

"I mentioned you to the swordsman, and the...lamb beside you."

Bachi turned his gaze to Xun Huangying again, who was staring at the swordsman who was like a floating cloud above the worshippers with a smirk. The swordsman wore a conical hat, and his tattered clothes exposed half of his body. The noble jade artifact had long been broken into two pieces and could not be restored to its original appearance. He looked at Xun Huangying with extremely shocked eyes.

He saw Xun Huangying sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his right hand supporting his knee and his left wrist flat on his knee. His long black hair was blown into waves by the wind, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were as sharp as jade.

It was just that Xun Huangying had a wicked smile, which made the worshipers stunned.

Although it was the first time they met, the true appearance of the lamb obviously made the worshiper tremble with fear.

The sword blade trembled in Xun Huangying's smirk. Xun Huangying curled his lips with a look of unsatisfied feeling and yawned in boredom.

In the first volume, Chang Yufeng was nine years old. Even before this Chang Yufeng appeared, except for the Chang Yufeng whose age was clearly written, he was nine years old. But now this Chang Yufeng is twelve years old. This is not my memory, there are [Reincarnation Chapter] and [Revision Chapter] as setting supplements. In other words, everything was postponed for three years. It matches the three-year gap between the Empire and the Principality.

Combined with certain chapters that suddenly appear, there are traces of [memory] being [tampered with] or [restored].

All the chapters in normal order are continuous, it’s not my mistake.

α17503038 is a child who has not been to school for twelve years. His memory is also damaged. It is very tiring to write... After all, I don't know what it is like for a twelve-year-old child who has not read a book...
