Gu Xueluo and Yun Jiu Tang were walking on the road that led to the Stardust Court. Their steps were hurried, light and vigorous, just like the way the fifth hidden spirit and Gu Xueluo had walked side by side more than ten years ago. They were filled with doubts and anxiety about their future.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and waves of biting cold wind blew past occasionally. After a while, bits and pieces of snowflakes floated down from the sky. It's snowing! " Yun Jiu Tang was a little surprised and he couldn't help but extend his hand, allowing the snow to fall onto his palm and melt in an instant. He looked up at the drifting snow in the dark sky and became infatuated, "This should be the first snow of the Qing Qiu Mountains this year, right? It came so quietly. "
Gu Xueluo only took a glance at the sudden snowflakes before hurrying on her way, unlike the Yun Jiu Tang who was infatuated with the snowy scenery. Because in the Spirit World's Gut Breaking Valley, the climate was cold and ever-changing. Rain and snow were common, especially during the long winter. The most important thing was that snowy skies were often the easiest time to strike a chord in one's heart. The flying snowflakes could pull a person's weak nerves and bring back a person's distant memories of pain. These were all pain that Gu Xueluo feared the most.
Yun Jiuchang didn't notice Gu Xueluo's cold expression and was still intoxicated by the fluttering snowy scenery. By this time the snow had turned from fine snowflakes to fine flakes of snow, which rustled and danced in the wind and fell on their hair, shoulders, and sleeves like white elves falling into the mortal world.
"Miss Xue Luo, look at how beautiful and magnificent the snowflakes are." Yun Jiuchang was still excited. He circulated his inner force and gathered a handful of snowflakes around his wrist, "Oh, I almost forgot. Your name is Xue Luo, no wonder you're so indifferent to Xue Luo." Yun Jiuchang couldn't help teasing Gu Xueluo.
"Yes, my name is Xue Luo, but you don't know that snowmen have their own emotions." Gu Xueluo stopped and looked at Yun Jiu Tang with a face full of anger, her eyes sparkling with light, "In the ten years I spent in Broken Bowel Valley, I've seen snow everywhere, but have you ever seen how lonely and desperate a person was in the valley amidst the endless snow?" "When all the snow and cold wind blew towards you, then I would know what it meant to cut through one's bones. I would never want to have that feeling again …" Gu Xueluo thought back to every snowfall in the Broken Bowel for ten years. Those miserable and lonely days, those bleak and hopeless times, were all caused by the snow, so she was afraid of encountering it.
Hearing Gu Xueluo's words, Yun Jiu Tang was stunned for a long time. He didn't know that a person could have such complicated feelings about snow. He thought that the pure white snow gave people joy, but he didn't expect that so many people had their own stories about snow. At this moment, the snow on his wrist had already turned into droplets of water, soaking Yun Jiu Tang's sleeves. A bone-piercing cold feeling woke him up. He shook the water droplets off his sleeves, and his face turned red. He bowed and said apologetically, "Lady Xueluo, I'm just a little curious about Xueluo, I really don't want to touch on her sad past. I never realized that this seemingly ordinary snowflake has a different situation for everyone.
Gu Xueluo also regretted her impulsive words. Seeing Yun Jiutang sincerely apologizing, she felt deeply apologetic as well. Thinking back carefully, this Yun Jiutang was just asking out of curiosity and didn't seem to be going overboard. Looking carefully at Yun Jiuchang's eyes and demeanor, it suddenly occurred to him that he looked somewhat similar to the smile and voice of the fifth Hidden Spirit, especially the domineering heroic spirit and the deep eyes on his forehead; it was as if he was the fifth Hidden Spirit. However, Gu Xueluo was rational after all. She knew that it was just an illusion, and remembered that although Yun Jiu Tang was the young master of the Demon Realm's Lone Star Palace, he had only been born a year ago, so his curiosity towards Xue Xue was quite normal. She then muttered to herself: "Snow on the Qing Qiu Mountain is very normal, Young Master Yun was born in the Demon World, so he doesn't have many chances of seeing Xue Xue."
After all, it's only been more than a year since I've been bedeviled. It's rare to see snow falling in the fields of Mu Tian, and I've heard that the snowy scenery in the Qing Qiu Mountain Range is fantastic, beautiful, and rare.
Gu Xueluo couldn't help but let out a relieved smile. The young master of the Demon Realm before her had never imagined that his thoughts would be so pure, so clear and without worry. At this moment, Gu Xueluo's Exquisite Mirror within her sleeve trembled once more with anxiety. Needless to say, it was definitely the little deity, White Dragon from the Feng Lin Continent. In the past ten years, although Gu Xueluo had brought the Exquisite Mirror with her, she had no spiritual energy and could not use it. After leaving the valley for more than a year, the mirror had started to get busy as the White Dragon was trapped by the immortal power and could not enter the world. Now that the conversation suddenly started again, Gu Xueluo wasn't surprised at all. She thought about how the White Dragon was once again a trivial matter that didn't hurt at all, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
In the early winter, it was very hard for the snowfall in the Qing Qiu Mountains to stop. The snowflakes had turned into flecks of goosebumps, flopping down onto their chignon, white as snow, and Yun Jiu Tang seemed to be enchanted by the snowy scenery. Looking at Gu Xue Luo, his deep eyes were as calm as a lover's, and it was as if his eyes were shining brightly, "Miss Xue Luo, is your name related to the snowy scenery?
Gu Xueluo lightly shook off the snow covering her body, making her appear even more charming amidst the snow. As if she was recalling a distant past, she muttered, "Yeah, Xueluo was born in the snow. Perhaps it's snowing like today, and three hundred years ago, I was born in a season like this …"
"Is there a time when snow falls in the Immortal World?"
"Yes, but they are just as rare as your demon realm, so when I was born it was a once in a hundred years." The exquisite mirror inside her sleeve finally quieted down, and Gu Xueluo no longer paid any attention to it.
Just as the two of them were chatting, thunderous roars suddenly came from the sky. The shadows of heavenly thunder continued to flash across the dark sky as if it was about to cut through the sky.
Yun Jiuchang exclaimed, "Even when it's snowing, there's still thunder. The scenery of the Qing Qiu mountain is really spectacular!"
Gu Xueluo raised her head and looked at the sky. She instantly grew suspicious and muttered, "Thunder striking in the snow, this is a strange weather that's rarely seen …" The Exquisite Mirror shook again, Gu Xueluo was no longer in the mood to care and could only watch the strange sky vigilantly.
Suddenly, a bright bolt of lightning flashed in the sky. Accompanied by a clap of thunder, a white figure suddenly descended from the sky. The two of them were surprised. However, before they could think about anything, the white shadow let out an "Ah!" and quickly fell from the sky into the snow not far away.
Yun Jiuchang gripped his sword tightly as he stared wide-eyed at the uninvited guest. Gu Xueluo puzzledly looked at the white shadow, as if they were somewhat familiar with each other. She couldn't help but lightly press the hand that Yun Jiu Tang was holding her sword with.
The white shadow seemed to be injured after it fell down. It slowly stood up and slowly turned around. Its eyes looked around and focused on the two of them.
In an instant, Gu Xueluo and the white figure's four eyes met. Their eyes widened and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The white silhouette mumbled: "Master..." How to... "It will be you …" He actually shook his head slightly, his eyes full of doubt and excitement.
Gu Xueluo was also amazed and forced herself to stay calm. Her voice was actually a little shaky. "Bai Long, I'm not seeing things, right? Why are you here?"
Bai Long's voice was mixed with excitement as he cried out anxiously, "Master, you haven't seen wrongly. I am Bai Long, is this an arrangement of the heavens? If I were to meet you again, I would never be able to see you again in this life …" As he spoke, he hurriedly walked over. Perhaps he was too excited, but his steps were a bit unsteady. He almost fell into the snow several times in just a short distance.
The two of them tightly embraced each other as they sobbed. Yun Jiuchang watched on quietly from the side, not knowing how to interrupt.
Without waiting for Gu Xueluo to speak, Bai Long said anxiously, "Master, it's been eleven years. During these eleven years, Bai Long has been missing Master and prayed for his safe return. Ever since Master left the valley one year ago, I've been looking forward to it, but as a little deity, her celestial spiritual energy is limited, so she can't go down to meet him. "Today, I saw a world of people with snow covering the sky and the power of the seal weakening, so I went into hiding myself and descended. I didn't expect that I would still be struck by lightning and almost lose my life …" After speaking, her eyes were filled with tears. She actually threw herself into Gu Xueluo's arms and sobbed incessantly.
Gu Xueluo lightly patted Bai Long's back. "It's really hard on your loyal heart …"
"Just now, I wanted to tell you with my Exquisite Mirror," Bai Long continuously choked on his words, his face full of grievance. "But you still wouldn't speak to Bai Long in front of his mirror, so Bai Long had no choice but to cross the border to look for Master." Hearing Bai Long's words, Gu Xueluo actually felt somewhat guilty.
Bai Long finally stabilized his emotions and wiped away the tears on his face. Only then did he realize that Yun Jiuchang, who was standing to the side, was somewhat shocked and hesitant as he focused on him. His eyes were actually filled with doubt and fear as he turned to Gu Xueluo and muttered timidly, "Fifth Hidden Spirit …" How to... "Here?"
Surprised, Gu Xueluo quickly corrected, "Bai Long, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the Demon World's Young Master Yun Jiu Tang."
Yun Jiu Tang was also at a loss when he heard Bai Long's words, but he still said politely, "I am Yun Jiu Tang, I pay my respects to Miss Bai Long."
Bai Long was still panicking. He whispered to Gu Xueluo, "Master, his eyes and demeanor are exactly the same as the fifth hidden spirit. How can there be such a similar person in this world?"
Upon hearing Bai Long's words, Gu Xueluo took a serious look at Yun Jiu Tang, and when she looked carefully like this, her heroic and unruly eyes shot out a faint, unsullied, sincere, and carefree gaze, filled with a deep feeling that was hard to describe. It was no different from the gaze of the fifth hidden spirit from ten years ago, but Yun Jiu Tang's eyes seemed to have become a bit more mature, open-minded, indifferent, and calm.
Hearing the content of their discussion, he could not help but let out a relieved smile, "This is not the first time I've heard such words. Previously, Shen Jingyang, Wang Qingchuan and the others also said the same thing, I never thought that I had such a deep affinity with the fifth hidden spirit, it's just that the fifth young hero's fame is so well-known, and he's a nameless person. It's my honor to have Yun Jiu Tang resemble him, and it's even more so motivating for me."
Yun Jiu Tang's words were just right, and both of them could not help but admire him inwardly. Bai Long said with a wide smile, "Indeed, he is the young master. Your words are watertight. Not only do you have a similar look to him, I think he is a completely different person."
Bai Long's words caused Gu Xueluo and Yun Jiuchang to laugh joyfully. The snow-covered sky rippled with innocent and carefree laughter.
At this moment, within the white snow of the Qing Qiu mountain, there was not only clear laughter, but also the sound of rustling fists and scraping palms.
What was even more surprising was that in a secret snowfield halfway up the mountain, Candle's shadow was currently dancing. Her palms split open, and the shadows of her palms were constantly changing, constantly sending the snow-covered world flying up into the air. The entire world was covered in snow, as if the snow that covered the entire mountain had been shaken off.
At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin was practicing the supreme cultivation technique of the demonic world – the ninth level of the Mysterious Demon Palm. This set of power was the highest existence in the entire Devil Realm. It was incomparably powerful, comparable to the Six Realms' supreme divine arts, the Mysterious Sky, Earth, Yellow Scripture. In the Demonic World, only the Devil Ancestor could practice this technique. However, Zhu Jiuyin was secretly practicing in secret, defying the orders of the heavens.
The more carefully one tried to conceal a secret, the faster it would be discovered. At this moment, Yun Jiu Tang and Gu Xue Luo passed by and met Candle Jiu Yin.
Sounds of explosions came from ahead. Yun Jiuchang, Gu Xueluo, and the White Dragon were extremely nervous. Could it be that they were about to encounter some unexpected danger? Yun Jiuchang thought to himself.
When they reached the open ground, the figure of Candle Jiu Yin, who was concentrating on practicing his palm techniques, appeared before them. Yun Jiu Tang recognized Zhu Jiuyin at a glance, but seeing how his palm techniques were strange, formless, sinister and seasoned, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by excitement as he shouted, "Brother Jiuyin …"
Yun Jiu Tang's shout broke the tranquility of the world, and Candle Jiu Yin, who had been fully focused, was alarmed. He turned his head abruptly and saw the three of them. His heart jumped, and he quickly thought of a plan to deal with them.
Yun Jiu Tang was ecstatic. Walking in the deep snow, he asked, "Brother, what a coincidence. Why are you here?"
Oh … I have recently comprehended a new set of palm techniques, "Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly retracted his breath, steadied his breathing, shifted his gaze, and smiled," The Devil Realm is too noisy. There is no spacious area in the Netherworld Kingdom, so I came here on foot to see how my self-created palm techniques look like.
The snowflakes that filled the sky were sparse. It was much smaller than before, as if they were about to stop soon. Yun Jiu Tang came in front of Zhu Jiuyin, panting slightly, "Oh, so it's like this. I just got to see your palm technique, yet it's extremely powerful. Brother, your moves are formless."
A sliver of panic flashed across Candle Jiu Yin's face, and he calmly said: "Where is it, Little Brother Jiuchang? I was just casually thinking about it, and there is still no continuous palm technique." "Ah, that's right. Where are you guys going? Why are you passing by such a desolate place?"
At this time, Gu Xueluo and Bai Long had already entered. Yun Jiuchang said, "These two are my friends. We're going to the Awakening Court, and we just happened to pass by."
Gu Xueluo said with a smile, "There's no need for us to meet Jiu Tang even if you introduced us. It's been many years since Young Master Jiu Yin has seen you, how have you been?"
"So it is Your Excellency. I am sorry for the disrespect of Jiu Yin," Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly bowed, with a slightly respectful tone, he said, "Your Majesty has been out for more than a year, but Jiu Yin has never been able to congratulate you face to face. Please forgive me."
As the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Bai Long laughed and said, "One of you is called Yun Jiu Tang and the other is called Zhu Jiuyin. No wonder they are both young masters of the Devil Realm. So they are both of the Nine-Characters generation!" This sentence sounded somewhat crooked, causing the three of them to laugh out loud.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Jiu thought to himself, "Before Yun Jiu Tang suspects these fist techniques, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, the longer the talk goes on, the easier it will be for it to be exposed." Thus, he bid farewell.
