Lou Yuanwei's spirit was very fragile, almost the moment he saw the endless purgatory, that touch of spirit was reduced to ashes at Li Fenglan's fingertips.

Accompanied by the wind and sand in Daido City, the man who was standing opposite him just now fell to the ground with his eyes open, without making a sound.

Seeing this, all the guards in iron armor retreated, and the leader asked in a deep voice, "You! Who are you, and why did you harm our city lord?"

Li Fenglan gave him a cold look, and said lightly: "Oh? Don't kill him, keep him to devour your soul?"

Lou Yuanwei has been in Daido City for many years, and the number of beasts around here is extremely small, definitely not enough to sustain him. You don't need to guess, you know that Lou Yuanwei must have devoured the souls of the people around him.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Fenglan's voice fell, not only the leading guard, but even the faces of the others all became ugly.

—These people who have been following Lou Yuanwei have long known that there is something wrong with their "city lord"! It's just that Lou Yuanwei covered the sky in Daido City at that time, even though he knew that he had a problem, no one dared to expose it.

Probably because she knew that Lou Yuanwei was not the real mastermind behind all this, so after dealing with him, Li Fenglan didn't feel at ease at all. Li Fenglan even felt that she was trapped in a fog and couldn't find the slightest direction.

He only glanced at those people, then walked straight to the inn without saying a word.

…

When Ling Buti knocked on the door of Li Fenglan's room, she saw that she was hugging Cheng Huang, sitting on the corner of the bed, sulking alone.

Chenghuang seemed to want to talk to its owner, but felt that Li Fenglan was in a bad mood, so the little guy kept quiet all the time.

Ling Buyan slowly closed the door of the room and walked to the bed. And Li Fenglan just glanced at him, and called out "Master" softly, and stopped talking.

Like Li Fenglan, when he came to Daido City, Ling Buyan also changed his clothes. At this time, he was wearing a gray-black coarse cloth gown, and it was such a dark and extremely cold color, which made his demeanor even more cold and refined, which created a great contrast with this room with a slightly exaggerated decoration style.

"Feng Lan, are you thinking about the Li family's affairs?" Ling Buyan sat by the bed and asked softly.

"En." Li Fenglan nodded.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Ling Buyi paused for a moment and was about to speak when he heard Li Fenglan's voice.

"Master knows who is behind Lou Yuanwei." Although Li Fenglan asked in this way, she used an affirmative tone.

If Li Fenglan was not so sure before, then the endless purgatory he saw not long ago finally connected all these things. Mo Sengyu, Lou Yuanwei, Endless Purgatory... These people and things that Li Fenglan thought had nothing to do with each other a few months ago are all strangely intertwined now.

But these things, to Li Fenglan now, are still like a ball of wool that cannot be untied.

Li Fenglan knew that they were related, but she still couldn't find where the end of this ball of wool was...

Hearing Li Fenglan's question, Ling Bujin didn't deny it. The man nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Ling Buyi has always been like this, he may hide something, but he will not lie to Li Fenglan.

Chenghuang is now an adult and has opened up his spiritual wisdom. Different from the silly look before, Cheng Huang, who had been held in Li Fenglan's arms the whole time, couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Huang's childish voice broke the silence in the room.

Hearing this, Li Fenglan lightly touched Chenghuang's head, then he looked up into Ling Buyan's eyes, and said word by word: "I always knew that Master understands many things, and also hides many things Me. But today I realized that what you know is far more than I imagined..." Li Fenglan's tone was a little frustrated.

Seeing him like this, Ling Buyan felt a pain in his heart.

He found that he was more and more reluctant to see Li Fenglan showing such an expression.

Hearing Li Fenglan speak in such a tone, although Cheng Huang didn't understand what he was talking about, he could feel Li Fenglan's mood.

So after Li Fenglan's voice fell, Cheng Huang also sighed, "Hey..."

Li Fenglan: "..."

Ling Buyan: "..."

Although Chenghuang has grown up, its voice is still the same as before, it sounds like a human child.

So Cheng Huang sighed with such a voice, and the effect was extraordinarily...funny.

The serious atmosphere just now was destroyed in an instant.

Li Fenglan also sighed softly, and then said to Lingbuyi again: "Master, I want to ask you a question, you just have to say yes or no."

"Okay." Seeing Li Fenglan's seriousness, Ling Buyi nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Just now, Li Fenglan stayed alone in the room and thought for a long time. He went through the things he encountered after his rebirth from beginning to end in his mind. And the question he wanted to ask was something he just realized after thinking about it for a while.

Li Fenglan said: "Master, you don't just know part of the truth as I thought before... but the whole inexplicable thing. You know it from beginning to end, and you even know the reason. Am I right?"

Perhaps the only thing Ling Buyan doesn't know is that the world he lives in is actually a novel—Li Fenglan added silently in her heart.

After Li Fenglan said this, she hugged Cheng Huang's arm with a little more force.

Chenghuang felt a little uncomfortable being hugged tightly by Li Fenglan, but this time it didn't make a sound.

Sure enough, Ling nodded and said, "Yes."

Sure enough, Ling Buyi not only knew that he was Li Fuyue from the beginning to the end, but even wanted to know everything, he had the answer there!

"Then you know these things, but you have never said them, and even followed the 'clues' found by Mu Hantao to find Daido City with me. What is it for..." Li Fenglan's voice became weaker as she spoke, and after the words fell , he himself fell into contemplation.

In the end, Li Fenglan felt that he seemed to have found the answer.

He looked at Ling and said, "You want me to find out the truth of what happened back then?"

Yes, it seems to be true if you think about it carefully.

Perhaps Ling Buyan knew the truth of the whole thing from the beginning to the end. And what he did was as if he was deliberately accompanying and guiding himself, so that he could slowly find the answer.

Thinking of this, Li Fenglan became excited again.

Even though Ling Buyi told himself through his performance all the time—he would not tell these things directly, but thinking that someone knew the truth of all this, Li Fenglan's somewhat dejected mood just now became a little better.

"That's right." Ling Buyi still did not deceive Li Fenglan.

But this time, before Li Fenglan could ask, Ling Buyan answered the following question.

Ling Buyan's expression was a little panicked—as if he was afraid that Li Fenglan would misunderstand him. Ling Buti said: "I didn't hide these things on purpose. And this trip, I didn't mean to let you fail."

Just like what Li Fenglan thought before, the former Ling Buyan was an extremely self-centered person. In the past, he did his own thing and never considered how others viewed him. But now, when facing Li Fenglan, everything is different.

Ling is not afraid that anyone will misunderstand him, but he is worried that Li Fenglan will have a grudge against him because of this.

"What do you mean?" Li Fenglan asked curiously.

Ling hesitated for a while, and said, "All of this, including what happened to Lou Yuanwei today, is related to your previous life."

"En." Li Fenglan nodded slightly.

Then he heard Ling Buyi say: "Although Li Fuyue is dead, the karma in her body has not been broken. Only by cutting off the karma, can I have no connection with the previous life."

"It turned out to be like this..."

Li Fenglan was a monk after all, and Ling did not tire of talking, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

For monks, it is a very troublesome thing to have too deep karma involved. The most obvious point is that it is difficult for a person with continuous karma to ascend to the upper realm, and even the tribulation thunder when crossing the tribulation is more powerful than others.

Thinking about it this way, I have encountered two nine-nine-day thunder calamities in a row before, maybe it is also because of the deep karma in my previous life...

He hadn't thought about this before, but Ling Buyan had already thought it over for him.

…

Seeing that Li Fenglan understood what she meant, Ling Buyan also heaved a sigh of relief.

After saying the words just now, Li Fenglan slowly let go of Cheng Huang's hand.

Speaking of which, as a ferocious beast that has entered into a spirit beast contract with Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang's perception of Li Fenglan's mood changes is still very sensitive.

It could clearly feel that Li Fenglan was much more relaxed.

So Cheng Huang, who had been quietly pretending to be well-behaved just now, immediately became a little more active.

Cheng Huang lightly touched Li Fenglan with the small pads on his paws, and then said softly, "Fenglan, I'm a little hungry..."

Speaking of which, Cheng Huang and Duan Wannian have fought back and forth recently, and have learned nothing else, but they have learned ten percent of Duan Wannian's cuteness.

Now when it speaks to Li Fenglan, its tone is cautious and somewhat timid, it is completely pretending to be weak!

But... I have to say that Li Fenglan seems to like Cheng Huang's tricks very much.

"Really?" Li Fenglan said so, but she had already thought in her heart: Chenghuang feeds on spiritual energy, and Daido City is short of spiritual energy. Chenghuang, an ancient beast that has grown up, will naturally go hungry of.

At this time, Ling Buyan looked at Chenghuang with a half-smile.

"Really, a little bit hungry~" Cheng Huang said.

Hearing this, Li Fenglan thought for a while, then took out her universe bag.

"There's still some spirit grass that Qiu Wanyou sent before, you should eat it first." Li Fenglan finally compromised.

— Not long ago, Chenghuang became an adult ahead of time because he ate too much spiritual grass. Although this is not a bad thing, but Li Fenglan is a little worried, what should I do if Chenghuang continues to eat like this, and my body shape becomes more uncontrollable?

So after thinking back and forth, Li Fenglan forbade Chenghuang to eat these things.

But now that Cheng Huang is acting cute, Li Fenglan's heart finally wavered.

"Hmm!" Seeing the Qiankun bag, Cheng Huang's nose couldn't help sniffing the air, and the whole beast looked extremely excited.

However, at this moment, Ling Buyan made a sudden move.

He stretched out his hand and took Li Fenglan's universe bag.

"Eh?" Cheng Huang looked innocently at Xiang Ling.

And Li Fenglan was also a little puzzled: "What's the matter, Master?"

I saw that Ling Buyi shook his head in disapproval and said, "Chenghuang is not a human race."

"Woo~" Cheng Huang pursed his lips, and casually rubbed against Li Fenglan, looking very unhappy, "I'm hungry too..." After a while, Xiang Ling spoke back again.

At this time, Cheng Huang hadn't thought that Ling Buyan's next sentence would completely choke him back.

I just heard Ling Buyi say: "Chenghuang, an ancient ferocious beast, doesn't have to eat three meals regularly like a human. Otherwise, how could it survive the thousands of years in the Shaoyuan Mountains?"

Cheng Huang: "..."

Yes!

After Ling Buti's reminder, Li Fenglan finally remembered. The Tianmian Palace is full of aura. After Chenghuang was locked under Shaoyuan Mountain, Zongmen specially set up a formation to thin the aura of Shaoyuan Mountain to prevent it from breaking through the seal.

So... in the thousand years before, Cheng Huang was hungry most of the time.

"Hmph!" Cheng Huang, who was exposed, looked very angry. He turned around and buried his face in Li Fenglan's shoulder, but what he was thinking in his heart was: what happened to Master Fenglan, why did his elbow only turn towards Ling Buyi!

This time leaving Tianmian Palace, apart from killing Lou Yuanwei, there are other important things to do.

For example, go to the Yaozu with the Duan brothers and sisters, and wake up the former leader of the Yaozu who has been sleeping for many years.

But after solving Lou Yuanwei, Li Fenglan and his party did not leave in a hurry.

For one thing, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian haven't transformed back into human form yet, they can only maintain the shiny golden prototype. If they return to the Yaozu, they must use this form to face their fellow clan, subordinates, and even family members.

Duan Wannian has no idea about this matter at all, she thinks she looks pretty cute now. But Duan Qianli, the leader of the monster clan, felt that if people found out that he couldn't change back, he would lose face completely.

Your own face is equivalent to the face of the entire monster clan, and you must never lose it.

Therefore, Li Fenglan and the others planned to stay in Daido City for a few more days, and it would not be too late to leave after the two monsters recovered their human forms.

After all, after careful calculation, Ling Buti said that it will not be too long before the two of them return to their human bodies.

Apart from this incident, although there weren't many ferocious beasts in Daido City before, one would still come across one in a year or so. When Lou Yuanwei, the "city lord", was around, he could absorb the aura of the beast to some extent and protect the ordinary people in the city.

But now that Lou Yuanwei is dead, the ordinary people in this city are once again in danger.

Even after Li Fenglan left the square in Daido City that day, Mu Hantao and the guards investigated what Lou Yuanwei had done in recent years, and announced it to ordinary people in Daido City.

But knowing that the city lord can absorb people's soul power, and that the city lord can protect them are not two things that will conflict with each other.

So from the second day after Lou Yuanwei's death, Li Fenglan started to do one thing—

He took Cheng Huang out of the city, and left Cheng Huang's aura in the corners of the city wall of Daido City little by little.

As an adult ancient beast, Cheng Huang's aura is enough to deter other beasts and tell them to avoid this city.

…

As an ancient beast, Cheng Huang's size does not affect its ability to deter other beasts.

Worried about scaring other people in Daido City, Li Fenglan didn't ask Cheng Huang to change back to "normal size", but continued to maintain the original shape.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Chenghuang's current appearance is extraordinarily cute and... funny.

That snow-white ferocious beast looked like a newborn puppy from a distance. It nestled in Li Fenglan's arms, facing the city wall from time to time making a "wow".

It looked really happy.

The adults in Daido City thought that Li Fenglan was playing with pets and ignored it. There were only a bunch of children who had gathered beside Li Fenglan for some unknown time.

As long as Cheng Huang utters an "Aww", they will cheer along with them.

——Although Chenghuang is an adult beast, his mood has not changed much compared to before.

It is quite happy to be held by this group of children.

"Aww!"

I don't know how many times it was, after Cheng Huang's "Aww", Li Fenglan suddenly heard a contemptuous voice.

"Too childish... Goo Goo."

Cuckoo.

It turned out that it wasn't just Chenghuang, there was also a little golden bird hidden in Li Fenglan's hair.

——Although after getting smaller, the golden Duan Wannian looks a lot more low-key, but in order not to attract people's attention, when she came out with Li Fenglan this time, she specially used the plant leaves here to weave a dress for herself Little coir raincoat.

At this time, the little golden bird is no longer a little golden bird, but a little green bird.

"Gu~" After Duan Wannian finished talking about Chenghuang, he hurried to sell Li Fenglan a cuteness.

It was just about sunset in Daido City, after Cheng Huang "treated" a wall, Li Fenglan couldn't help turning around and looking towards the desert.

In the thousand years of her life, Li Fenglan didn't seem to have been to the desert a few times. In his last life, his memories of the desert seemed to be related to "chasing and killing".

So now is the first time that Li Fenglan seriously appreciates the sunset in the desert.

From a closer look, the desert and the Gobi are only a piece of withered yellow, which is very boring and desolate.

But from a distance, here is an incomparably brilliant golden red. The afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the fine sand and gravel, and Li Fenglan's face hidden under the hood was also illuminated by the shallow golden light.

At this moment, after seeing Li Fenglan, those children who came here because of riding the yellow all fell silent.

At the same moment, a melodious Xun sound suddenly came from Li Fenglan's ear.

The voice was low, like weeping and complaining.

Not only Li Fenglan was attracted by the music, even Cheng Huang, who was secretly making faces with those children just now, suddenly fell silent.

"Coo coo..." Affected by the sound of the xun, Duan Wannian, who was still excited just now, even the cooing sound seemed a little lonely.

There is something wrong with this Xun...

Li Fenglan immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

This xun sound is not a simple musical sound, it contains spiritual power. It not only affects people, even fierce beasts and demons are affected.

If Duan Wannian and Cheng Huang were just ordinary beasts and monsters, Li Fenglan might not have thought much about it. But don't look at how cute or funny they look now... Just release any of them, they will all be big figures who can make the cultivation world tremble.

There was a burst of yellow sand scattered in the distance, and when Li Fenglan saw a little clearer vision, a light blue figure appeared not far away.

While Li Fenglan was looking at him, the man in blue also slowly put down the xun in his hand.

The music in my ears finally disappeared.

"You go to the city and go home." Li Fenglan turned around and said softly to the children around her.

Although they still wanted to play with Chenghuang and Duan Wannian for a while, but affected by the weird music just now, the children also panicked for a while.

Hearing that Li Fenglan asked them to go home, those children didn't bargain, but nodded lightly, then turned around and ran towards the city gate.

The man in blue saw the children, but ignored them.

While putting down the xun in his hand, he slowly walked towards where Li Fenglan was.

The wind and sand gradually dissipated, and Li Fenglan finally saw clearly the appearance of the person who came.

...It's Ning Qingmo!

Only he can create the musical sound just now.

After recognizing the person coming, Li Fenglan couldn't help taking a step back.

He himself was standing on the edge of the city wall, and when he stepped back like this, his back hit the city wall.

And with the afterglow, Ning Qingmo also saw clearly the young man not far away.

— Li Fenglan was dressed in white, which was now dyed a magnificent dark red by the sun. Even his originally pale cheeks were stained with a little color.

Li Fenglan's eyes were bright, and there was a bit of vigilance and caution in her eyes.

These are obviously not what Li Fuyue used to be like in the past, but after seeing Li Fenglan at this moment, the three words "Li Fuyue" suddenly crashed into Ning Qingmo's mind.

Although the two were far apart, it didn't take long for Ning Qingmo to appear in front of Li Fenglan.

What... what does he want to do?

When Ning Qingmo appeared in front of Li Fenglan's eyes, Li Fenglan realized that it hadn't been long since the last time they met, but her friend who transferred to the Ruthless Dao had actually dropped three small realms...

What happened to Ning Qingmo?

At the same moment when he was walking towards Li Fenglan, the figure in white coarse cloth gown gradually overlapped with the person in Ning Qingmo's memory.

They are so different, yet so similar.
