When Lu Que regained his senses, he found himself in a sea of flowers. Looking around, it was as if he was really in a sea of flowers. It was a beautiful sight with no end in sight.

Lu Que bent down and observed the flowers beside him. On the stem of the flowers, there were white, purple and pink flowers. The petals of the flower are lip shaped, feather shaped or lanceolate, and grow along a mysterious track. The entire sea of flowers looked as if it had been meticulously tended by someone. Three different colored flowers of different colors intertwined, forming a different pattern, just like a flower formation.

Lu Que's mouth was agape as he stared in astonishment at the flower pattern in the distance. In his heart, he had an intuition that these patterns were probably recording something, because the pattern formed by each flower was like a story and all the patterns were connected together, as if they were narrating a person's life.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew past. Lu Que could not help but take in a deep breath as an intense fragrance lingered in his chest.

"Is this rosemary?" Is this flower a rosette? "Why are there so many rosettes here, and why am I here? Could it be that I've entered another illusion?" However, this was the first time he had seen these flowers. He could not help but pluck one and examine it carefully. The real sensation of the flowers in his hands and the dream-like fragrance made it hard for him to tell if he was in reality or had entered a new illusion.

Lu Que looked at the flower in his hand, deep in thought. He knew that in the western part of the Greenwood Continent, the rosette symbolized a long period of love, loyal friendship and eternal nostalgia. In some countries in the western part of the continent, the rosary flower will be placed in the grave of the deceased at the funeral of a relative or friend, as a token of their grief, as a token of respect and reminiscence for the deceased. It is a flower that means very good things.

"Why are there so many flowers?" Lu Que's eyes were filled with puzzlement, but soon became curiosity. He muttered to himself, "What exactly are those flower patterns talking about? Was someone remembering someone? But who was this person? Who's doing this? "

Just when Lu Que was at a loss, a familiar female voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "I won't forget the promise you gave me. I will forever retain my love for you, miss you, think of you until you return to my side."

"Who's talking? Come out? " Lu Que was shocked within his heart. Even though this woman's voice was very gentle and pleasant to hear, the sudden appearance of her in such an environment gave him a fright. As he shouted, he turned his head to look around. However, other than the vast sea of flowers, he saw nothing else.

At this moment, the sea of flowers seemed to come to life as the entire sea of flowers released a multicolored light. Lu Que felt a sharp pain in his eyes and quickly closed them. However, even with his eyes closed, Lu Que could still feel the piercing light around him, because the light seemed to pierce through his eyelids, causing his vision to turn blood-red. Lu Que could not help but cover his eyes with his hands, which made him feel a little better.

After a long while, Lu Que finally felt the light dimmed. He took his hands away and closed his eyes to sense the surroundings. However, he did not feel anything strange and tried to open his eyes.

At this moment, he saw a desolate and bitter night. He could clearly see the lightning in the sky, and he could also hear the thunder's echo and the sound of the wind and rain, but he couldn't feel the rain on his body. Lu Que tried to move his body, but it seemed as if his entire body was restrained by something. He was unable to move at all. He wanted to shout out in shock, but no sound came out of his mouth. He could only look at the scene in front of him like a spectator.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from not too far away and a few figures appeared in the rain. When the lightning illuminated the sky, one could clearly see that there were six young men dressed as farmers, and they were currently escorting an old man. On the old man's back was a young man who was about ten years old.

Just at this moment, many torches appeared in the rainy night. The sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground came from behind them. From the sound of it, there were at least a hundred cavalrymen.

"Little master, this is the only place I can send you, hurry up and go into the forest, there is a river in the forest, there is a boat resting in the river, the boat has some food and water, you can follow the river and leave the country in two hours, these cavalry soldiers cannot cross the border, at that time, little master will be safe." The old man in the lead had both hands on the youth's shoulders. Although he looked anxious, he still carefully explained everything to him …

"Father and mother are no longer here. I don't want to lose Uncle An. Uncle An, let's go together." The youth's pale face was filled with tears as he spoke with reluctance. It was obvious that the youth knew that these people wanted to stay behind to block the pursuers and buy time for him.

"Young master, don't worry. Those cavalrymen can't do anything to this old servant. Once this old servant finishes them off, we will come and find the young master." The old man smiled and patted the youth's shoulder.

"Amber." The youth wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Young master, don't worry. This old servant won't die. Young master, quickly leave." At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. The old man's expression changed as he gently pushed the young man. A gentle force carried the young man to the forest a hundred meters away.

"No!" The youth in the sky shook his head and cried, but at this moment, the deafening thunder in the sky masked the heart-wrenching cries of the youth.

Seeing the youth's figure disappear into the forest, the old man's face became serious. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and casually pulled out a flower of swords, nodding to the six youths beside him. After which, he turned around and attacked the cavalrymen behind him.

Outside of this stormy forest, a fierce battle broke out. It was obvious that neither the old man nor the six youths were weak. Soon, more than twenty cavalrymen had been killed by these people's swords.

"Old man, just who are you? Why must you oppose our Emperor? " The leader of the cavalry shouted.

"Emperor?" When the old man heard this, he could not help but laugh, "He's just a random subject." With a wave of the long sword in his hand, he dashed towards the cavalry commander. Although the old man was surrounded by the horsemen, he was still strolling leisurely. The longsword in his hand was even more elusive, and the angle it was jabbed at was quite crafty. In the eyes of the onlookers, Lu Que, it was as if the horsemen had placed their throats on the old man's sword.

"Just who are you?" The cavalry commander's voice was filled with disbelief and panic. Being able to become the commander of a troop, his cultivation was clearly not weak, but this old man was unable to take advantage of him in the slightest.

"Me? Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. When I get to the King of Hell's place, I'll tell the person who killed you that he's called Old Man An Wu. " Laughing loudly, the elder continued to chop down the cavalry soldiers who were surrounding him. At this moment, none of the hundred cavalry soldiers remained under the protection of the seven men.

"The An clan's five prodigies are gold, silver, copper, iron, and zinc. I didn't expect that you actually didn't die with your four dead brothers after the battle at the Intellectual Sword Sect. Today, I'll send you to meet them." At this time, a figure wearing an iron ghost mask, with an old and cold voice, flew over from the distance with two daggers shining with a dark green light. After fighting with the old man, the old man didn't continue to fight with him. In the blink of an eye, he had killed the six young men who had come with the old man.

"So you don't regret the peace of the sword? You actually didn't die? " The cavalry leader looked at the old man in disbelief.

"Haha ~ Hahaha ~" Seeing the six youths die, the old man's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and then he laughed loudly: "I was saved by my master and mother back then, and thus I survived. I didn't expect that Gui Dao really was the dog-emperor's man.

"Heh heh. So what if I don't regret my sword? Since your name is An Xin, you should die in peace. " The old man wearing the iron mask laughed sinisterly, then gripped his dagger and clashed with An Liu.

"Ghost-masked Honored Warrior, hold this old man back. I will chase after that child. His Majesty is still waiting for that child's head." The cavalry leader said.

"Don't even think about it." Without waiting for the bronze masked old man to reply, An Liu shouted, "I don't regret the safety of Jian, I have no regrets in this life. I have never owed anyone favours. How can I let you bandits hurt my young master? You guys die!"

Along with the old man's shout, countless condensed sword Qis suddenly appeared in the surrounding fifty meters around them. It was like a huge net that enveloped everyone within.

"This is the Intellectual Sword? "Ah ~" As if the bronze masked old man had really seen a ghost, he let out a mournful cry, he turned around and was about to run, but before he could even move, several Qi swords had already pierced through his body.

Along with the bronze masked old man's miserable cries, dozens of miserable cries sounded out, and the remaining cavalrymen and cavalry commanders fell off their horses at the same time.

After the Sword Qi dissipated, the face of the old man called An Xin flushed red. He was leaning on the ground with the sword in his hand, barely supporting his body. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

"What a pity." An Xin looked at the blood stain on her chest and bitterly smiled, letting out a long sigh. She then turned her head to look at the forest, "Young master, Uncle An, the only thing we can do is to send you here. In the future …" Before he could finish his sentence, the long sword in An Xin's hand suddenly shattered, his barely able to endure body smashed into the muddy water mixed with human blood.

Lu Que was sure that he had never seen these people before. However, when he saw the old man fall, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. An indescribable sorrow filled his heart. Before Lu Que could recover from his grief, the scene in front of him suddenly shattered. In the blink of an eye, another scene occurred.

In the middle of the valley, there was a lone mountain. On the peak of the mountain, there was a dilapidated temple and on the faded door plaque, there were four large, plain words. However, Lu Que could not recognize any of them.

"Big brother. Third sister. Fourth sister. Fifth brother. I'm back." A youth walked over from the mountain path. In his hands, he was holding a few cloth bags that were filled to the brim. Lu Que tried to distinguish who it was before realizing that this youth should be the one who escaped in the rain. However, he was a little older than he was back then. Who was this youth? Was this scene real or illusory? If so, when did it happen? If it's an illusion, why are there so many people in the illusion that I don't know?

Just when Lu Que was at a loss about what to do, he heard a voice from the screen.

"Second brother is back." In the Taoist temple, two little girls with flower like smiles were welcomed. Although the two little girls looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, with their fair and exquisite facial features, it was obvious that they were beauties. When they grew up, they would definitely become beauties that could sweep through the world.

The clothes of the two girls were somewhat shabby. Some of them did not seem to fit very well, but they were washed very cleanly. It was obvious that they loved to be clean.

"Eh? Where's Big Brother and Fifth Brother?" The youth looked at the two girls in surprise.

"Big brother and fifth brother went to look at the trap he set. Big brother even said that he found a beehive yesterday and wanted to get some honey." The older girl said.

"So that's how it is." The young man nodded, then opened a cloth bag. He smiled and took out two candied fruits from his bag, handing them over to the two little girls. "You've been thinking about the candied fruits for a long time."

"Thank you, second brother. I know that second brother is the best." The older girl revealed a sweet smile and obediently took the candied flakes.

"Thank you, second brother." The slightly younger girl also called out sweetly.

When the two girls put the candied flakes into their mouths, their eyes lit up. In the blink of an eye, their eyes turned into crescent moons and a big smile appeared on their faces.

"Second brother treats Su'er so well. Su'er will marry second brother in the future." The older girl looked at the youth who was panting and smiling as he watched them eat the candied fruits. She had a bashful expression on her face as she gathered her courage to speak.

"I want Shu'er too, I want Shu'er too." Although the younger girl did not know what was going on, she still said it as if she was anxious to get something that would make her happy.

"When you grow up and meet even better young people, you will forget about Second Brother." The teenager lovingly stroked the two girls' heads as he pulled the two girls into the Taoist temple.

This was a Daoist temple that had existed for an unknown period of time. Due to years of disrepair, the meditation room in the temple had completely collapsed, and only the main hall was still considered intact. There was a huge bronze censer in front of the hall, but it was filled with water. Clearly, it was used by the people who lived here as a water jar.

Strangely enough, there was not even a deity statue on top of the main hall. There was only a few blank scrolls on the front wall, indicating that something had once hung on the wall, but because of time, the painting on the scroll had already disappeared, and no one knew what exactly it had hung on.

On the left and right sides of the main hall were bunks of cotton wool, and under the bunks lay hay. In the center of the hall, there was a pile of ash. It was obviously a extinguished fire. There were several pots of different sizes beside the fire.

"Third sister, fourth sister, what are you doing today?" The youth asked as he took out a few items from his bag.

"I'll say, I'll say." The younger girl bounced a few times and said, "Sister said it's almost winter and we have to weave grass shoes to keep out the cold. And the gaps in those windows had to be blocked with something so that no cold wind could come in. We've been working all day. "

Looking at the little girl's expression, the youth smiled, "Fourth Sister is so obedient. I once learned a dish from an old beggar. Second Brother will make a flower chicken for you to eat tonight, okay?"

"Sure, sure." The little girl happily clapped her hands, then hesitantly said, "Second brother, what do you mean by 'flower chicken'? Is it a chicken cooked with flowers?"

"You'll know when it's done."

Lu Que looked at the incomparably warm scene in this ruined Taoist temple and felt his heart throb. He felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness from these two girls, as if they were his most intimate people. But just as he wanted to clearly see the faces of the two girls, the illusion shattered just like before.

This time, countless scenes flashed past him like a butterfly. Lu Que observed carefully and felt the world spinning. He felt a stifling sensation in his chest and felt like he was about to vomit. He quickly closed his eyes. Although he couldn't see what was happening, he could hear one voice after another.

"Wait!" A weak voice entered Lu Que's ears. "You've won. This throne is yours."

Then, the scene seemed to constantly change.

"Brother, are you ready?" A masculine and charming voice was heard.

"Big brother, let's begin."

"Today's great war will be led by my Holy Star Palace. The path to heaven will be opened at the behest of the Six Sacred Masters."

At this moment, voices were constantly being heard by Lu Que, as if countless people were talking in his ears and it was hard to tell what they were saying. When he heard a clear voice again, he heard that man's voice again.

"Second brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, big brother. Although this battle is important, we cannot lose our human energy because of it. I will take the last blow and leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, I have spent countless years to refine this bell. Today, we brothers will use this Heaven's Gifting Bell to send off our deaths." "Hahahaha!"

Although it was just a few short sentences, Lu Que could still hear the brotherly affection between the two of them that allowed them to pass their backs to each other, as well as the boldness contained in their words. Brother? "Big brother?" Lu Que mumbled to himself.

Curious, Lu Que opened his eyes. He wanted to see what the Heaven's Gift Bell looked like. However, when he opened his eyes, the illusion changed again and a new scene appeared before his eyes.

A beautiful girl with a cold face looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, "After you destroyed the heavens, you disappeared. Do you know what happened?" Where were you when Big Brother died in battle? Where were you when Third Sister died in battle? Now you're telling me you're going with me? I don't care about the destiny of the humankind that you are talking about, I just want to avenge my big brother. "

After saying that, the woman gnashed her teeth as she looked at the man. The coldness in her eyes was like ice. She resolutely said, "You are not worthy. From today on, we will break off all ties. Scram!"

"Shu'er, listen to my explanation." The man's eyes were filled with grief.

"F * ck off." The woman's expression was still cold.

"Since you won't listen to my explanation, it doesn't matter. You will understand one day." The man seemed to want to touch the girl's hair, but his extended hand suddenly stopped as he smiled wryly.

"Shu'er, I won't let you take the risk. This time, I'll go alone." The man formed a seal with his hands. "My name is too easy. Heaven and Earth Holy Spirit, listen to my decree, seal!"

Just as the man finished speaking, a shining purple sealing array wrapped around the woman's palace.

"Shu'er, this seal can hold you for ten years. Calm down and don't be so impulsive during this period of time. This is all I can possibly do for you." As he spoke, the man disappeared from this world.

"Bastard! Tai Yi! You bastard! Let me out! I won't allow you to go! I won't allow you to!" The woman's face was filled with tears as she looked at the man who had disappeared from the world.

"Ah ~ My head, my head is hurting." Seeing this, Lu Que could only feel a sharp pain in his head and involuntarily let out a cry.
