Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

"It's a pity that you followed the wrong person."

Rita's eyelashes fluttered slightly, the smile on her face not fading at all: "Oh? I wonder why Miss Miko made such a judgment?"

"I've seen everything you've done." A hint of sympathy for Rita flashed in Yae Sakura's eyes. "What you call justice is nothing more than a disguise for others to fulfill their own wishes. I won't comment on the strongest Valkyrie, who doesn't know much, but how come you, who know so much about the darkness, are already able to..."

Before Yae Sakura could finish, Rita spoke up, "Someone always has to walk in the dark, doesn't he? And sometimes, for a greater goal, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable."

At this moment, the waves on the sea were still surging, but Yu Zhe, Youlan Dell, Ying, Fu Hua, Rita and Yaesakura temporarily put aside their prejudices and hostility towards each other.

"Roar--!!!"

Accompanied by a roar loud enough to shatter eardrums, a dark shadow that blocked out the sky and the sun slowly rose from the bottom of the sea.

After a thousand years, Chi You awakened again...

Take a day off

I went out with my family today. I’m so tired. I need to rest.

175 Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu

At this moment, Chiyou is inside...

"I say, can't you younger generations have a little common sense?" Danzhu put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet in anger, her long brown hair flying in the air with her excited movements. Her red eyes flashed with anger as she stared at the troublemakers in front of her.

"I'm sorry..." Kiana shrank her neck, twisted her hands together nervously, and her blue eyes were full of guilt.

"What's the point of apologizing!" Dan Zhu said angrily: "Although I can escape now because the seal has been broken, do you know what a disaster a Judgment-level Honkai Beast is to mankind?"

"My sister and I spent a huge amount of money to deal with this guy!"

At the beginning, due to Fu Hua's implementation of the "Spark Plan", he imparted too much advanced knowledge to the ancient people, which led to a large number of collapse disasters and even gave birth to the judgment-level collapse beast Chi You.

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu sealed Chi You's Honkai energy at the cost of their lives, turning it into two Honkai energy cores in his body, but now the seal has been lifted by Kevin's descendants.

Why did Danzhu know that the other person was Kevin's descendant? Isn't it obvious from the white hair and blue eyes?!

"I'm really sorry, we didn't know this was a seal!" Kiana clasped her hands together and bowed to Danzhu with an apologetic look on her face.

Siegfried took a step forward, his long silver hair still eye-catching in the dim room. "Calm down. Getting angry now won't solve the problem. The most urgent thing is to find a way to make up for this mistake."

"You younger generations are really... Never mind, there's no point in saying this now." Dan Zhu sighed and turned to look deeper into the cave. "You has begun to wake up. I can feel that its breath is recovering rapidly."

"Then is there any way to seal Chiyou again or defeat it?" Siegfried asked.

Although this place is on the shore, it won't take long for the Judgment-level Honkai Beast to land on the coast with its power. Moreover, Siegfried, who had experienced the Second Honkai, knew very well how terrifying the power of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast was.

"It's almost impossible to seal it." Danzhu pointed at himself and said to Siegfried, "Now we are just remnants of our souls, and our strength is less than one percent of what it was back then. Even if my sister was still by my side, I couldn't do it."

"And the sealing technique has been completely destroyed, just like a broken mirror that cannot be restored."

"Is that so? I think I understand." Siegfried nodded. "Since we can't seal it, then we can only kill it."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Danzhu suddenly floated in front of Siegfried, almost sticking to his face, "Don't talk so lightly, do you think you are the ancestor of your family?" Danzhu knew very well that Kevin's descendants could no longer use the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire as harmlessly as Kevin did because of the gradually thinning bloodline.

The backlash of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire will cost them their lives!

"Do you want to die?" Even though Danzhu knew the character of Kevin's descendants, he couldn't bear to watch them sacrifice themselves.

"No, I won't die." Siegfried said firmly, "And we must stop Chiyou. This is not only to make up for our mistakes, but also to protect those innocent people."

"That's right! Dad told me that in the face of Honkai, the Kaslana family won't flee!"

"I will help too." Chen Tianwu didn't want the disaster that happened to him to happen to others again.

"Although my mind is still in a mess, I think now is the time to shirk my responsibilities." Yang is still playing the role of an ignorant archaeologist. "My strength is weak, but please take me with you!"

"You guys... okay." There are always people like this in every era.

"Then let me think about what to do first..."

Kiana frowned, tapping her chin lightly with her finger, her eyes sweeping over everyone's faces. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "How about we go find your sister first?"

"Sister?" Dan Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. "No, Chi You has already awakened because of my seal. If I remove my seal, Chi You will recover faster."

Although Danzhu also wanted to see her sister again, she would definitely be scolded if she did so!

"I think it's possible." Siegfried said, "Chiyou will eventually recover completely. Now that we have one more person, we have more strength."

Chen Tianwu stood aside, watching Danzhu's troubled expression. "I understand your concerns. But as Miss Siegfried said, Chi You will fully recover sooner or later." She paused, "Instead of passively waiting, it's better to take the initiative."

"A race against time?" Yang pushed his glasses up and muttered thoughtfully, "I think this is a feasible plan. One more helper will give us a better chance of winning."

Just like she was trying to win over Siegfried on the battlefield of the Second Honkai.

Danzhu's eyes moved across everyone's faces, and she finally took a deep breath. "Okay... I'll take you to find my sister's seal." She clenched her fists, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "But if my sister gets angry, you have to speak up for me!"

Led by Danzhu, everyone passed through the winding passage.

The humid air was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and the runes on the walls were faintly visible in the dim light.

"This is it," Danzhu said, her voice trembling as she paused before a stone wall covered in intricate patterns. She reached out her small hand and gently stroked the pattern in the center.

"Sister...I'm here to pick you up."

As the seal was lifted, a dazzling light burst out from the stone wall. A girl with a face similar to Danzhu slowly emerged.

"Dan Zhu?" Cang Xuan's voice was a little surprised, and then turned stern, "How could you unseal it without permission..."

But just when Cang Xuan was halfway through his words, he thought of a question: how did Danzhu get out of the seal?

Cang Xuan looked at the other people around Dan Zhu and quickly thought of a possibility, "Did you unlock Dan Zhu's seal?"

"Yeah." Kiana scratched her head sheepishly, "I accidentally broke the seal when I used too much force."

"Sister, I'm sorry." Danzhu walked up to Cangxuan, "But we need your help."

Cang Xuan sighed softly, reaching out to gently stroke his sister's hair, "I understand."

"Tell me now..."

176 Black Jilin

"This is so, this is so..." Kiana gestured with her hands and feet, recounting their experiences along the way, while Siegfried added a few words from time to time and occasionally corrected some details.

"So that's how it is? Then I guess I understand." Cang Xuan nodded slightly, a thoughtful glimmer in her eyes. Through Kiana and the others' narration, she also roughly understood the current situation.

Chen Tianwu looked at Cang Xuan worriedly: "Excuse me, do you have any solution?"

Cang Xuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "I do have a solution now."

"What method?" Kiana moved forward impatiently and almost bumped into Cang Xuan's nose.

Cang Xuan chuckled and took a half step back: "Just go find Ji Lin. She is guarding the true core of Chi You. If we can destroy the core, we might be able to defeat Chi You who is still recovering."

"What are we waiting for! Let's go find her!" Kiana waved her fists excitedly.

Siegfried frowned. "The vitality of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast is extremely exaggerated. Even if its core is destroyed, it will not die in a short time."

"That's true." Cang Xuan sighed, "But this is the most feasible option at the moment. Chi You is at his weakest right now. If we miss this opportunity, it will be hard to come by again. If we delay any longer, Chi You will have recovered."

"Ji Lin should be in the ruins ahead. I'll take you there."

"Yeah." Several people nodded and followed Cang Xuan.

Then he took Kiana and others to Ji Lin's location.

"This is it. I wonder how Ji Lin is doing now..." Cang Xuan suddenly stopped talking, her eyes looking into the distance with vigilance. Everyone followed her gaze and saw a dark figure slowly walking out from behind the stone pillar, each step carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"So...we're looking for Ji Lin?" Kiana asked uncertainly, "Why is she emitting black energy?"

Ji Lin, who was supposed to be holy and noble, was now shrouded in a swirling black mist, her delicate armor covered in dark red lines. She raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes that glowed ominously.

"Not good!" Cang Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took a half step back, "She has been corroded by Honkai energy!"

Hei Jilin slowly raised the tip of his sword, a strange smile appearing on his face.

Purple-black energy swirled around the sword. Her lips moved gently, her voice hoarse as if she hadn't spoken in a long time: "Four hundred days, four hundred days have already passed here..."

She slowly turned her neck, making a teeth-grinding "clicking" sound, and her red eyes stared at the people in front of her.

"Time passes very slowly here." Hei Jilin gently scratched the ground with the tip of his sword, leaving a trail of black smoke. "In the endless darkness, there is nothing around... but I can still feel..."

"Every day... every moment... I feel it..."

Her expression suddenly became ferocious, and her voice suddenly rose: "She can feel that they still miss me!"

But then he calmed down strangely and revealed a sick smile: "But I know... one day they will find me, no matter how long it takes, they will find me..."

"Finally... I've waited for you..."

Cang Xuan's expression became increasingly grim. She lowered her voice and said to Kiana and the others, "Her consciousness has been completely distorted by Honkai energy..."

"Human..." Hei Jilin suddenly tilted his head and asked in a naive yet cruel tone, "Do you want to offer a sacrifice to the black soul?"

Kiana subconsciously took a fighting stance and clenched her pistols: "Hey, you still..."

Hei Jilin completely ignored Kiana's words, the smile on his face grew wider and wider, almost reaching his ears.

There was a crazy light in her eyes, and she suddenly burst into a shrill laugh: "Hahahaha——"

"Get out of the way!" Cang Xuan shouted. At that moment, Hei Jilin's laughter stopped abruptly. She swung her sword fiercely, and a sword energy wrapped in terrifying Houkai energy broke through the air.

The air was torn apart with a sharp explosion, and the ground instantly cracked into a bottomless ravine along the path of the sword energy. Gravel and dust were swept up by the violent energy, forming a destructive shock wave that attacked everyone.

Kiana could even feel the energy fluctuations coming towards her, making her skin sting. The pure malice was almost turning into substance.

She instinctively rolled to the side, and the sword energy flew past the ends of her hair. A few strands of white hair were corroded into ashes the moment they came into contact with the sword energy.

"Kiana!" Siegfried roared from the side. The battle-hardened warrior had already drawn his greatsword, its blade wrapped in blazing flames.

"Chen Tianwu! Cover me!"

"I understand!" Chen Tianwu's voice was calm and composed. She pulled the trigger instantly, and bullets poured towards Hei Jilin.

Kiana rolled on the ground twice before she regained her balance. She knelt on one knee, "Damn it..."

But the next moment, her gaze was fixed on the greatsword in Siegfried's hand. The blazing sword shone brightly in the dim underground space, its light reflected in Kiana's azure eyes, as if igniting some forgotten memory.

"Why... do I feel so familiar?" she murmured, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible. Her heart suddenly began to beat violently, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Kiana couldn't help but put her hand on her chest, and her fingertips could clearly feel the dull pain coming from there.

"Wait! That's..." Kiana's pupils suddenly contracted, staring at the special shape of the hilt. She was very familiar with that design because it was exactly the shape of the Heavenly Fire Judge in the hands of her father Siegfried.

"Impossible..." Kiana's lips trembled, and countless fragmented images suddenly flashed through her mind: the blazing flames, the man's resolute back, the heartbreaking cry...

These fragmented memories gave her a splitting headache and her vision went dark.

"Kiana!"

"Kiana, what are you still thinking about? Now is not the time to be in a daze!" Siegfried's roar brought her back to reality. They saw that Hei Jilin had broken through Chen Tianwu's fire suppression and was rushing towards them, wielding a pitch-black longsword.

Kiana shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to concentrate.

"Now is not the time to think about these things..." She took a deep breath and raised her guns again, but a ray of gold gradually emerged in the depths of her eyes.

177 Star of Eden

"Watch the guns!" Kiana responded crisply, spinning the two guns flexibly in her hands.

"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots rang out almost at the same time.

Kiana narrowed one eye, her snow-white hair fluttering gently with the recoil. Two precise bullets grazed Chen Tianwu's ears, the air currents causing her hair to tremble slightly.

"Hey! Be careful!" Chen Tianwu shrank his neck, a helpless expression on his face, but his hands did not stop moving, and he quickly changed the magazine.

The bullet hit Hei Jilin's eyes, causing him to let out a shrill roar.

"Damn humans!" She roared angrily. Although she used Honkai energy to protect her eyes at the critical moment, this attack successfully stopped her from charging.

"Well done!" Siegfried seized the opportunity, and a fiery flame suddenly ignited on the sword, illuminating her face redly. "Watch me!"

A fighting spirit flashed in her eyes, and she rushed forward in one step. Her shoes left deep footprints on the ground, and her sword blade drew a dazzling arc of fire.

Hei Jilin reacted extremely quickly, blocking in front of him with the pitch-black sword.

The moment the two weapons collided, sparks flew like fireworks.

Siegfried gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He was shocked and took two steps back, feeling a sharp pain in his palm. "As expected, he is one of the heroes who sealed Chi You five thousand years ago."
