Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"There are a few things I need to talk about." Hua Jianlei calmed down and reminded: "There are good news and bad news... You guys, be mentally prepared."

Many people present couldn't help but tense up when they heard the "bad news", or frowned, or pursed their lips, or clenched their fists... All kinds of subtle movements symbolized that they had no idea about the bad news.

"First, let me tell you the good news." Hua Jianlei looked at Ren Nanbei: "Zhonghu Judgment has lifted the restrictions on your Saint Path... Originally, you could not stand up without breaking, and now that the restrictions have been lifted, I hope you can be canonized within three years."

Ren Nanbei raised his eyebrows, but did not show any joy. Instead, his face darkened. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the answer came out in a flash: "...King Xiling fell? He was a canonized saint among the top ten. What did he do?"

"Prince Xiling is the incarnation of Tai Sui... He secretly plotted against the Ten Strongest and Ten Evils, and he was the mastermind behind the chaos." Hua Jianlei explained succinctly: "But he underestimated Bai Yu, and he saw through her flaws and discovered her identity."

Mu Yaoxi's eyes lit up when she heard this. If her master hadn't been there, she might have stood up and applauded.

"So, the Archer and Yama Si have been looking for the incarnation of Tai Sui for so many years, but they exposed themselves when they were plotting against Bai Yu?" Long Jianquan pondered for a moment and then laughed, "That's right, he is not only extremely talented, but also very smart."

Su Ruoji also thought of something and nodded, saying, "He is very smart. This time, King Xiling has calculated the wrong person..."

At this point, everyone showed joy on their faces. After all, hearing that King Xiling had revealed the identity of Tai Sui's incarnation meant that the situation had improved.

Only Su Ruoli asked: "Is he... okay now?"

Hua Jianlei did not answer, but continued what he had not finished saying: "Now the King of Xiling has gone from the top ten to the fourth of the ten evildoers, and is wanted nationwide. Now the three departments and the Wusheng Pavilion are going to liquidate his remaining forces. The higher-ups have decided to use your knife to cut the grass, and have allowed you to kill first and report later."

Ren Nanbei said: "Do you think I'm the executioner?"

"Isn't this the result you hoped for?" Hua Jianlei looked around at everyone: "Everyone in the Shen Ce Mansion can participate in this operation. This is a good opportunity to expand our influence."

"This is fine." Mu Yaoxi said, "Then what's the bad news?"

Being watched by a group of young people, even Hua Jianlei, one of the top ten, felt that it was extremely difficult to utter every word at this moment. The clattering of her teeth when she opened her mouth seemed to carry a heavy burden.

But it cannot be concealed.

Sooner or later this matter will be made known to the world.

Finally, she opened her mouth slowly, and closed her eyes because she couldn't bear to see these people's reactions.

"Bai Yujing..."

"Huang Qixia..."

"Two hours ago, the two of them fought against Luohou on the shore of the East China Sea."

She said this and forced herself to open her eyes.

"Both were defeated and died."

When she mentioned the third sentence, it was not difficult to guess what the result would be...

Losing to Luohu is not a shameful thing, but the consequence of losing to Luohu often means death.

Throughout the ages, most people who challenged Rahu had the same fate and were sent to reincarnation.

You could hear a pin drop in the conference room.

Silence, damn silence.

The coldness spread to every corner.

Until someone couldn't stand the torture anymore and rushed out by pushing open the door.

They were the sisters Feng Wuwu and Feng Tongtong. They pushed the door open and heard suppressed sobbing from afar.

Then it was Su Ruoli's turn, and she walked out the door.

"Ruoli..." Su Ruoji wanted to go out with him.

"Sorry, leave me alone for a while."

She could no longer hear what others were saying, and walked into the depths alone, her voice faint.

Su Ru opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

She was actually calmer than Su Ruoli at this moment.

When it comes to her inner love, she claims that her feelings for Bai Yu are no weaker than those for her sister. The reason why she can remain calm at this time is because Su Ruo knows Bai Yu better.

She knew that the person she met as a child was Bai Yu himself, and that they had met several times in the past ten years.

He was able to escape from Jin Peng's hands only thanks to Bai Yu's ten years of preparation.

He must have mastered the secret that can transcend time and space.

Su Ruoji even thought that Bai Yu should be an existence similar to the higher-level heroic spirits, and that he must have awakened the memories and mysteries of his past life. Such a person should not die so easily at the hands of Luohou.

Yes, Su Ruo didn't quite believe that Bai Yu was really dead, so she stood there, frowning, silent, and thinking about what was wrong...

But Mu Yaoxi was just like Su Ruoli. She knew very well that her master would not have lied to her about this matter, and she also felt like she was struck by lightning.

How could he just die like this when the debt of love he owed from his previous life had not yet been repaid?

Or died together with Huang Qixia...

Sacrifice for love?

Then you should take me along.

Mu Yaoxi couldn't tell whether she was more sad or jealous right now.

She stumbled out, ran back to the office, closed the door, drew the curtains, squatted in the corner, hugged her knees, and cried secretly.

The remaining few people were able to remain calm, but they also had complicated feelings in their hearts.

A generation of leaders was defeated in this way.

Or leave with Huang Qixia.

Although these two shining suns have set, the records they left behind are destined to be mountains that future generations will never be able to surpass.

When the news of the two people's death came, the people present did not feel relieved, but felt a little lost.

Lin Haiya's eyes grew dim. Ever since the battle with Bai Yu, he had been trying to figure out how to improve his swordsmanship... But now, he hadn't figured out the swordsmanship yet, and the goal he had been pursuing had become history.

How can one not feel lost?

"He..." Ren Nanbei poured a glass of water, drank it to moisten his throat, and then asked, "Did he die manly enough?"

"Luo Hou left an arrow as a gift. He caught Luo Hou's arrow and survived, forcing him to shoot the second arrow." Hua Jianlei praised him highly: "I am ashamed of myself... I have neither the courage nor the strength."

"Hahaha... Good job! Even if we lost, we still made history." Ren Nanbei laughed with a bit of sadness. He walked towards the door, and before leaving, he stopped and said, "I'll take the mission. Let the remnants of those involved with King Xiling wait for my sword to cut them down."

Lin Haiya stood up and followed: "Together."

Soon, the room became empty.

"Where is his body?" Su Ruo stopped her long period of distraction and thought and asked, "Is there no one to pick it up?"

"She was taken away by Zhen Shifang's daughter Tao Rusu. No one knows where she took her." Hua Jianlei shook her head helplessly.

"Where is Huang Qixia's body?"

"Perhaps it has been destroyed by Luohou, or maybe the phoenix never leaves behind corpses." Hua Jianlei patted Su Ruoji's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. I know you can't accept this fact in a short time, but who has ever escaped from Luohou's arrow? Sometimes it is better to be completely desperate than to hold on to a little hope."

Su Ruoji couldn't explain too much, but as Hua Sheng said, she really didn't believe that Bai Yu was dead.

"Do you have a way to find Tao Rusu?" Su Ruo asked in a roundabout way: "Even if Xiaoyu is gone, I will bring his body back. Tao Rusu is not his wife. We are his family. She has no right to collect his body without permission. Besides, the funeral must be held anyway."

Hua Jianlei didn't expect Su Ruo to accept it so quickly. It was also because... she was the most mature and oldest person in this group. She had experienced enough and was naturally more mature.

"I'm a warrior, what can I do?" Hua Jianlei said, "Go to the Astronomical Observatory, old fellow Miu Tianji will help you. His divinations predicted Bai Yu's bad luck, and two Jiaoyangs died from that divination. Now he's probably thinking of ways to make up for his mistake."

"Okay." Su Ruo immediately left: "Then... I will not get involved in King Xiling's affairs."

"Don't go and fight Luo Hou."

"No!" She said simply, "At least not now!"

Half an hour later.

Su Ruo left the Observatory and just as he went out, he saw Su Ruoli standing on the side of the road.

"Ruoli, are you okay?"

"Let's go." Su Ruoli's eyes were slightly red. She sniffed and said softly, "Let's take him home."

……

Nanling City.

Tao Rusu has always had a house in her home, which was left to her by her adoptive parents... and it is also her most cherished dowry.

"You are not his wife. It is not your turn to collect the body."

Zhen Shifang said to Tao Rusu who was keeping vigil: "Give up as soon as possible..."

"Shut up." Tao Rusu's tone was so cold that it made people feel cold: "It's not your turn to tell me what to do."

Hatred is indeed one of the shortcuts to becoming stronger.

Tyrant tapped his fingers: "I'll give you ten days to sort yourself out, and then I'll come find you again."

The Tyrant walked out of the door and took out a piece of ice with frozen blood from his pocket. It was polished like amber. Anyway, the blood of Rahu has been obtained, and the next step is to proceed to the next step.

Wait until the surroundings become quiet.

Tao Rusu walked into her room, opened the door, took out a bright red dress, and gently brushed the stitches on it with her fingers.

She took off her clothes, put the bright red coat on her shoulders, carefully smoothed out every wrinkle, and tied her hair up, imitating the appearance of a woman.

Light a few big red candles and place them on both sides of the counter.

The woman in the mirror was wearing a bright red wedding dress.

She rubbed rouge on her pale lips with her little finger.

Temporary preparations are complete.

The process of getting married doesn't need to be complicated.

Tao Rusu chose to keep everything simple.

The departed Zhen Shifang didn't know, and no one else would have thought...

Tao Rusu did not keep vigil for Bai Yu, but instead wanted to complete a ghost marriage.

Of course she would not desecrate the dead, but the wedding had to take place after all.

Because she wanted to leave something behind.

When daybreak comes, she will bury her beloved.

By then, nothing will be left.

"Even if you're gone, I'll still marry you..."

"Although it's not as happy and beautiful as the wedding in my dreams, but at least now..."

"I could be your bride."

She knelt beside the young man, stroking his face with her fingers, from his eyebrows to the tip of his nose to his lips, staring at him intently, unwilling to look away.

Tao Rusu and her mother Ao Muxue are equally paranoid.

"People say that love can transcend time and space, so in the next life... I also hope to meet you."

The heart-wrenching pain of loss made her extremely certain that her feelings were not superficial liking, nor were they the heart-pounding feelings she had when she was young. Instead, it was a desire to be together forever, a love that penetrated the depths of her flesh, blood, bones, and soul.

She doesn't seek much, not possession, not exclusivity, just to be together.

This is all she asks for. She is already so humble. How can she be greedy?

She bent down, tears running down her cheeks, wetting her makeup.

"I love you……"

Bow down and kiss.

This is a farewell.

When the lips meet.

A violent breaking sound was heard.

The 'uninvited guest' broke into the house, causing a gust of wind, the red candle flame flickered, and the moonlight overshadowed the candlelight.

The woman who rode the wind and the sword for thousands of miles landed on her tiptoes, stepping on a piece of cloud and frost.

Su Ruoli rarely showed a look of gnashing teeth, and that anger even briefly overshadowed the sadness in her heart.

"Tao Rusu...what on earth are you doing?!"
