He murmured the word "Tao" repeatedly, and his body suddenly turned into black light and attacked Gu Changliu.

But the current Gu Changliu is no longer the young boy who could make mistakes even in formations.

The sword lights crossed each other several times, and Gu Changliu looked at the tragic scene of blood flowing around him. Finally, he raised his sword seriously and no longer held back.

It was as if a sun had fallen in his eyes.

"sorry."

"...Big Brother."

-

The next day, the human race was shocked.

An entire state city was located at the foot of Changliu Mountain, and all of them were slaughtered by the evil cultivators.

Gu Changliu, the messenger from the Immortal Mountain, fought a bloody battle with the evil cultivators for eight hundred miles, which lasted until dawn. In the end, the evil cultivators fled and disappeared.

The immortal messenger was also seriously injured.

Rumor has it that the evil cultivator is the former immortal envoy Mo Wuyou who had suddenly disappeared before.

No one knows the specific circumstances.

(The second update will come later)

Three Hundred and Thirty-One, Changming

When Gu Changliu woke up, it was already three days later.

The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Mingluan.

"Sister..."

"you're awake?"

Ming Luan gently wiped his face and whispered, "This injury is too severe."

Gu Changliu didn't say anything.

"There are a lot of people gathered outside, saying they want to call you in to give an explanation."

Ming Luan's eyes were half-closed, and it was unknown what she was thinking: "They said that you are the only one who knows who the evil cultivator who massacred an entire state city is."

Gu Changliu's eyes trembled, and he couldn't help asking: "Senior Sister, Yunxi Village..."

Mingluan stopped what she was doing.

"I have already...buried my parents' bodies."

Her voice was calm, without any emotion in it.

But Gu Changliu sensed something strange in her eyes.

"This evil cultivator is quite powerful, as he was able to severely injure you."

"You don't have to blame yourself. No one will blame you. You have tried very hard."

"Changliu, Senior Sister has never asked you for anything."

She turned her head quietly and asked slowly in a trembling voice:

"Tell me the truth."

"That evil cultivator... is he the eldest senior brother?"

Gu Changliu fell silent.

Mingluan already knew the answer.

Something suddenly died in her eyes, and she staggered two steps toward the door in a daze.

"Senior sister!"

Gu Changliu stopped her and said, trying to suppress his emotions: "I'll go talk to those people."

-

That day, Gu Changliu made an announcement in front of all the sect and tribal leaders who came to inquire about the details.

He wanted to integrate several existing sects of cultivation together, establish an immortal sect, and spread the path of cultivation throughout the world, so that if there were evil cultivators causing trouble in the world in the future, other human races would have room to fight back.

However, he never mentioned the identity of the evil cultivator, only saying that he would take responsibility and hunt down the evil cultivator to the ends of the earth.

The establishment of the Immortal Sect was an unprecedented major move for the entire human race. For a time, everyone on this continent became busy, and the tragedy that night gradually became less of a topic.

But while Gu Changliu was preparing to establish the Immortal Sect, he was still secretly looking for Mo Wuyou's whereabouts.

He did not give up because he clearly remembered that Mo Wuyou had regained consciousness once in Yunxi Village when he was lost.

He felt that his senior brother would be able to come out of his confusion sooner or later.

It was not until half a year later that the Immortal Sect officially established its mountain gate, and the entire Changliu Mountain was completely transformed into a blessed land of immortals.

On the night of Emperor Chengzong's death, Gu Changliu was still in the main hall, whispering to his confidants:

"If what happened in Xianyunzhou is true, send someone to investigate immediately."

"No...I'll go there myself."

"But Master Immortal, the Immortal Sect has just been established, and many things in the sect cannot be done without you!"

"It's okay." Gu Changliu whispered, "Everything else can be put on hold for now, but I have to--"

Before he finished speaking, the confidant suddenly saw something and immediately bowed respectfully:

"Elder Mingluan."

Gu Changliu looked at Mingluan who was slowly approaching in astonishment.

"Senior Sister?! You haven't slept yet? It's already so late——"

"You go down first." She turned her head and said calmly to the trusted disciple.

The trusted disciples immediately left respectfully, leaving only her and Gu Changliu.

Gu Changliu fell silent, as if he was afraid to speak.

"Junior brother, the Immortal Sect has just been established, and you still have a lot to do. You shouldn't be distracted by this."

Ming Luan walked towards him gently and said, "As for the matter of investigating the evil cultivator...you shouldn't push yourself too hard."

"Senior sister, I'm fine."

Gu Changliu shook his head: "I will not be at peace until I find my senior brother."

"But you don't have to worry, Senior Sister. Since that day, there have been very few reports of evil cultivators causing trouble. Maybe Senior Brother has already come out of his confusion."

In the face of Gu Changliu's comfort, Mingluan never said a word, but just looked at him silently.

After a long while, she whispered slowly:

"Are you... so eager to find Senior Brother?"

Gu Changliu's hands trembled slightly, and he quickly said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are joking. After all, he is the eldest senior brother."

"Isn't it the same for you, Senior Sister? You've lost a lot of weight since that day."

This is already a very euphemistic way of putting it.

After the tragedy that day, Ming Luan seemed to have lost his soul. He locked himself in the cave with lifeless eyes and practiced sword all day long. He was so haggard that he looked like a nobody.

Every time Gu Changliu saw her look of great sorrow and despair, he felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

He wanted to find his senior brother as soon as possible so that Mingluan could smile again as soon as possible.

But Mingluan just looked at him quietly and finally smiled sadly.

"Little junior brother."

"...It would be great if you were still as naughty, willful and ignorant as when you first came to the mountain."

Gu Changliu was stunned for a moment.

"You are now a human immortal. Finding your senior brother should not be the whole of your life."

"There are many people in this world who need you. You will only become busier and busier in the days ahead."

"I can't help you with anything. But at least you can't be so depressed every day and hold me back." She laughed at herself.

Gu Changliu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Let's...get married."

-

The establishment of the Immortal Sect and the wedding of the Immortal Lord are double the joy.

It was the grandest wedding of the entire human race.

Ming Luan was bright and beautiful that day, wearing the most festive red wedding dress. Under the gaze of the crowd, she slowly leaned into the arms of the Immortal Venerable.

That day, Gu Changliu kept a warm smile on his face throughout the whole process.

His smiling face froze.

But behind the stiffness, his eyes were always dim.

He knew that his senior sister was not happy at this wedding.

So I am not happy either.

After the wedding, Mingluan would help Gu Changliu deal with the affairs of the Immortal Lord when he was not refining the sword.

With the help of the couple, the incense of the human race has never been more prosperous. Immortal cultivation sects have sprung up everywhere like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The situation of people with extraordinary talents but no way to find immortality is becoming less and less common. Instead, people with excellent talents have become treasures that various sects are vying for.

The human race also began to prosper.

But behind the prosperity, the lives of Gu Changliu and Ming Luan did not improve at all.

Gu Changliu was still concerned about forging the Taoist sword and finding his senior brother Mo Wuyou, and was often busy until late at night without any rest.

Ming Luan tried her best to help him share some of the sect affairs and relieve his pressure.

But occasionally when she has free time, she still likes to stare blankly behind Changliu Mountain alone.

Looking down the mountain, I don’t know who I’m waiting for.

Half a year later, Mingluan became pregnant.

This time, even Gu Changliu had to put aside his busy sect affairs and stay with Mingluan day and night.

A year later, the Immortal Venerable had a daughter and named her Mingyue.

The name was given by Mingluan.

Mingluan, who was weak after giving birth, showed a relieved smile as she held the crying Gu Mingyue.

This was the first time Gu Changliu saw Ming Luan smile since their wedding.

He thought that with Mingyue, his senior sister's health and mood would gradually improve.

But no.

Mingluan's health is getting worse day by day.

Years of sword-refining had consumed too much of her energy, and part of her vitality was absorbed by the sword, causing her to age at an abnormally fast rate.

On the day the sword was completed, her body finally couldn't bear the strain and she fell ill in bed.

At that time, Gu Changliu had even seen white hair at her temples.

For her, the Immortal Lord searched for all the doctors and all the elixirs in the world.

But all doctors say that mental illness is difficult to cure.

Finally, the Immortal Venerable held her hand beside her bed and listened to her weak words:

"Changliu..."

"The sword is done, let's give it a name."

"Senior sister is much more talented in writing than me." Gu Changliu chuckled and said, "I really like the name Mingyue."

"Then...let's call him Changming."

"Changliu and Mingyue. These are the names of the two most important people in my life. It also implies that this sword can lead the human race to eternal glory."
