Chapter 78 The Great Hero

Finally, someone returned alive from the Dragon Tiger Hall, a first in at least a hundred years, shocking everyone.

Yang Wanda reported the details of his trip to the sect leader, Master Yuxu, and the elders overnight, especially the Five Elements theory contained in the first and second levels.

As someone outside the sect, Kui Ran naturally had another very important matter to attend to.

In the afternoon, when she parted ways with Yang Wanda, Kui Ran learned that her former senior brother, Ke Dasheng, was in a dilapidated house somewhere in Sanqing Mountain.

Following Yang Wanda's directions, Kui Ran arrived at this place.

Deep in the mountains, there stands a dilapidated house. It stands there alone, as if forgotten by the world.

The walls of the house are mottled, and the erosion of time has made the once sturdy wood rotten. The roof tiles are incomplete, and weeds have grown in some places. The window glass has long been broken, leaving only empty frames.

Perhaps the master heard the commotion outside, for he went outside leaning on his cane.

"Who is it? Li Lin? Just send some more vegetables later, nothing else."

"Where is he? Wasn't he just outside a moment ago?"

Kui Ran was stunned. She saw Ke Dasheng holding a stick and probing the way. His eyes were completely blind.

"Dasheng, it's me, it's me, Kuiran, it's me, Kuiran."

The voice was so familiar. Ke Dasheng dropped the stick he was holding and went to help Kui Ran. He couldn't help but burst into tears: "Waaaaah, Kui Ran, Kui Ran, you, you're still alive, you're still alive!"

“I’m alive, I’m still alive. Come, sit down and talk.” Kui Ran helped Ke Dasheng sit down.

Kodak gripped Kuiran's hand tightly: "Thank you so much. You gave me your horse back then, I... I thought you..."

"Oh dear, I'm so lucky. But you've had a tough time." After saying that, Kui Ran poured two cups of wine from the gourd and continued, "Come on, have a drink. It's been a long time since we drank together."

Koda felt a little ashamed after hearing this: "Oh dear, I can't see anymore. What a pity. You know, if I had opened my eyes back then, I probably wouldn't be here anymore. The allure of the Sparrow Demon was too strong. Are you alright?"

Kui Ran: "I didn't, I'm very lucky..."

On the table sat an exquisite gourd, and two cups of wine released a delicate fragrance. Although the two were still young, they were like long-lost old friends, and every word seemed to take them back to the days when they ventured down the mountain together to catch demons.

They began to chat, their conversation filled with reminiscences of the past. Speaking of those thrilling battles, their faces showed both pride and感慨 (a mix of emotions, including regret and sadness); when they talked about friends they had made together, most of whom were no longer alive, they couldn't help but sigh.

Before leaving,

Kui Ran took out a sachet from her waist pouch, which Luo Ling had temporarily entrusted to Kui Ran to give to Ke Dasheng.

Kodakson smelled the sachet, his nose twitched, and he stood up. Although he couldn't see, he still searched his surroundings.

"Ling'er? Is that you? You're back?"

Kui Ran didn't know how to respond to Ke Dasheng's words, so she could only hand the sachet to Ke Dasheng and say, "Dasheng, she's not coming back. She asked me to give this to you."

Upon hearing this, Ke Dasheng's face showed disappointment. He kept poking and kneading the sachet and said, "Kui Ran, I sewed this sachet for Luo Ling by hand when I first met her. It is filled with the fragrance of gardenia from Sichuan and Chongqing."

Kui Ran didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only pat his shoulder and say, "Da Sheng, take care!"

Kodak stood up with a smile: "You, won't you sit for a while?" "No, I have other things to do. Take care." Kui Ran said, her mood also very low.

And so, the two chatted for an hour...

On her way back, Kui Ran thought of Kang Qing. It had been almost ten days, and she wondered how Kang Qing was doing in Jingdezhen. Fortunately, the Celestial Phenomenon Pendant had not sent back any information, so it could be said that Kang Qing was still safe.

After Kui Ran left
Kodak tidied up the tables and chairs in front of the house, then took the sachet, smelled it again and again, and went inside...

An hour later,

A disciple came to deliver the food and pushed open the door to enter.

"Oh no... Oh no!"

The disciple turned and ran frantically outside, seemingly terrified.

A suffocating silence filled the room. Ke Dasheng lay quietly on the ground, his body lifeless. The Jade Void Sword, which had accompanied him in slaying countless demons, lay somberly to one side, as if mourning its master.

His eyes remained open, but they had lost their former luster, becoming empty and filled with despair. A trace of blood lingered at the corner of his mouth, and he clutched the gardenia sachet tightly in his hand. In this way, he was with the one he loved.

Kodak's death seemed to be as insignificant as a speck of dust, causing no major ripples at the Sanqing Palace.
When Shen Anzhi received this news while cultivating in the Sanqing Blessed Land, he only felt regret.

"Master, this guy was too wicked, he deserved to die." The spirit snake suddenly became happy.

Anzhi stood by the window looking outside: "Don't talk nonsense. Although Senior Brother is a womanizer, he and Luo Ling are definitely in love. I've been annoyed all the way here, but Senior Brother has been putting up with it. It's clear that he loves Luo Ling very much."

"Are you envious?" the serpent suddenly asked.

Shen Anzhi sneered, "Hehe, I wouldn't say I envy you, I just feel sorry for you. Senior Brother actually has a lot of potential, but unfortunately he just can't control himself and likes to be fickle. If he had changed this flaw, it wouldn't have ended like this."

"No, you're just envious," the serpent confirmed again.

Anzhi lifted the snake by the tail: "If you say it again, I'll hang you up all night."

"Alright, alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Master, what are your plans now?" the spirit snake asked tentatively.

Shen Anzhi: "I want to see the Grandmaster. I'm already an Eight-Coin Demon Exorcist, and I have an idea..."

"Thoughts?" The spirit snake sensed that Anzhi had changed; he had become more composed and had his own ideas.

Shen Anzhi nodded and said, "I want to gather all the people of the world to enter this other world and completely eradicate this evil den."

"Great! The Ancestral Master will definitely give his full support, he will definitely give his full support!" the spirit snake praised repeatedly.

night,

As the serpent activated its two antennae, a beam of light entered Anzhi's mind.
In the dream, Meng Hong greatly praised Shen Anzhi's bravery in entering the Dragon Tiger Palace and guided Anzhi to complete the spiritual power transformation of the Eight-Coin Demon Exorcist, but this process was very long...

With Meng Hong's guidance, Shen Anzhi had already developed the aura of a great hero. Meng Hong led her to Yujing Peak, where she held the Jade Flower Sword and felt as if she were standing at the top of the world...

Meng Hong and An Zhi stood side by side, their heads slightly tilted back, feeling the mountain breeze, their thoughts seemingly drifting to the distant horizon.

Anzhi recalled the arduous journey she had gone through over the past year, the trials of blood and tears, the tests of life and death, all of which became the foundation upon which she reached this peak...
