The moment he walked out of the spirit valley, Yun Jiuchang understood that his confession to Gu Xueluo had been like the reunion of his fifth body's hidden spirit and Gu Xueluo's fate. Listening to his emotional words, Gu Xueluo's eyes became hazy with tears. She tried her best to turn her head away, not daring to meet his gaze. This was because her heart was still occupied by the fifth hidden spirit, and right now, no one could take the place of the fifth hidden spirit in her heart.

Yun Jiu Tang looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, feeling at a loss in his heart. He thought about how Gu Xue Luo had been tormented by emotions and was tied down by the dead. Sometimes, he really wanted to go up to Gu Xue Luo and shout loudly, "Xue Luo, I am the fifth Hidden Spirit!" But, how could Gu Xueluo believe him? How could he get her to accept his identity as a Demon Apostle? If the Six Realms found out about this, he would once again become the target of public criticism. This was a huge risk, and he definitely couldn't let the person he loved take the risk just for the sake of his own happiness.

Then, he could only wait for the right time to tell her about the bizarre, twisted, and firm nature of this place. When that time came, Gu Xueluo would definitely embrace him … Yun Jiuchang thought to himself.

The two walked side by side. Gu Xueluo slightly leaned to her side, her eyes bright. "Jiu Tang, I lost my composure in the valley just now. Please forgive me for not being able to meet my expectations. It's just that my heart belongs to the fifth hidden spirit and no one can take his place …" Gu Xueluo didn't continue her sentence. Her sparkling eyes stared at Yun Jiuchang again, "This way of putting it is a bit selfish and cruel, but I still hope you can understand."

Yun Jiu Tang's heart was filled with desolation, the entire world seemed to be covered in darkness. Although he had long predicted that this would happen, but when Gu Xue Luo really said those words, he was inwardly hurt, his mind was still as lonely and helpless as a banner fluttering in the winter wind. He could only allow the cold wind to surge in from all directions, wetting his eyes and cooling his face.

Even though Yun Jiu Tang was so dejected and disappointed, he still couldn't help but hear his own voice when faced with Gu Xue Luo's apology: "Xue Luo, don't blame yourself. I was too anxious just now, I know you can't forget him now. Just let time smooth things over." "No matter what difficulties arise in the future, let me face them together with you and bear them together, okay?" Yun Jiu Tang gently caressed Gu Xueluo's shoulder. His eyes were calm and serene as he said these words in a gentle tone.

The two of them tried their best not to talk about love when they were alone together. The mountains ahead of him were crisscrossed with shadows, zigzagging off the winding road, as if the road of life were to be ended by immovable difficulties.

Gu Xueluo's eyes were filled with fatigue. "Jiu Tang, what are your plans for the next few days? Are you going to report back to the demon realm, or continue to stay in the mortal world?" She knew that Yun Jiu Tang would leave the Green Hill to return to the Demonic World sooner or later. This was because his identity and status did not belong here, just like she herself did not belong here either.

"Reply? My mission is to investigate the tragedy that occurred in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest fourteen years ago, to find the Twilight Jade, "Yun Jiu Tang said with a firm tone, with a bright ray of light shining in his eyes," This is something that I promised Devil Ancestor when I left the Demon World, if my mission was not accomplished, what reason could I have to go back? " At this moment, Yun Jiuchang recalled his previous body's fifth hidden spirit's tragic death, as well as the matters that he had yet to resolve. There was no reason for him to not investigate further. Even for himself, for his past and present lives, for his selfish love, he had to investigate and give himself an explanation, an explanation to Gu Xueluo, and even an explanation to the Six Realms.

Up ahead, there were layers upon layers of mountains and dense fog along the way. However, Yun Jiuchang's destination was extremely clear. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, it was still clearly visible, as if it was right in front of his eyes.

"Xueluo, where are you going?"

"I … I don't have any plans for the time being. Next month is the fifteenth year of Hidden Spirit's death. After the memorial is finished, I want to return to Phoenix Lilin Continent …" The sadness in his words was still faintly discernible.

"Don't think too much into it for now, let's go to the Tai Hua Altar together. There's something I need to take care of there."

"What is it that makes you so anxious?"

Thus, Yun Jiu Tang told her about the Exquisite Pagoda's imprisonment of Qiong Qi and its placement in the Tai Hua Mountain Range's secret cave. Even though Gu Xueluo was stupefied, she was so frightened that it was like seeing snow in June. She couldn't believe her own ears.

"Jiu Tang, I really can't believe that this is true. You … Why did you bring it back to the mortal world? "

Seeing Gu Xueluo's frightened expression, Yun Jiu Tang tried his best to make things simple. He didn't explain anything, and only hoped that Gu Xue Luo would go with him. That would be the answer she wanted.

"Xueluo, there are a lot of things you don't understand. Actually, Qiong Qi isn't as terrifying as people think it is because of the blood devouring. They also have something to sympathize with. If you were here at that time, you would probably approve of me and Rising Sun doing the same thing …" Yun Jiuchang explained, wanting her to dispel any doubts he had and support him with his understanding.

She had personally experienced two exterminations and witnessed the evil and brutality of poor strange beasts. The six realms had spent all their energy just to kill this world's bandit leader, yet Yun Jiu Tang had brought that baneful beast back to the mortal world and placed it on the Green Hill, it was practically inviting disaster upon himself. Since that was the case, she had to take a good look at what had caused the usually cautious Yun Jiuchang to go crazy and plant such a huge threat.

The two of them quickly made their way to Taihua Rock. Gu Xueluo's footsteps were even faster than Yun Jiu Tang's, she was already afraid that she wouldn't be in a hurry to see how Qiong Qi was imprisoned. What exactly could it have on it that could move the steel-like and vengeful Yun Jiu Tang? Since the greatest disaster of the Six Realms was already imprisoned here, if it was necessary, he would personally kill it.

Although the journey was long, the two of them walked quickly. The strange scenery along the way was like passing clouds, and they didn't even have the time to take a glance. There were a few times when Yun Jiu Tang wanted Gu Xue Luo to stop and walk slower, to admire the unknown scenery of the Qing Qiu Mountains, to catch up with this winter's tail and leave behind some good memories. However, Gu Xueluo was still hurrying on her way. She wished that she could suddenly reach the Cave of Absolute Mountain and witness the appearance of the imprisoned fierce beast with her own eyes.

"Xueluo, this Qiong Qi in your eyes is so fierce, shouldn't he be brought back?"

"Of course, you've only been in the demon realm for a few years, so you have no idea how miserable the Six Realms would be after being affected by Qiong Qi. The beast tide activated by it could almost destroy the entire human world. I don't understand how you can be so compassionate. "

Yun Jiuchang was left speechless for a moment as he coughed dryly, "In any case, I can't do anything about it …"

Gu Xueluo snorted and looked straight ahead, no longer looking at him.

The Taihua Altar was built on top of the Taihua Altar, the grandest and most majestic of the Taihua Mountains. The Cave of Absolute Mountain was located more than a hundred li behind the Taihua Mountains on the Sunset Peak. Sunset Peak was not considered a magnificent peak among the Taihua rocks, but it was located in the center of the Taihua rocks and was far from the taihua altar. Very few people stepped foot on it, so it appeared very quiet and mysterious.

Back then, when Shen Jingyang was in Tai Hua Altar, he had found a secret location in order to avoid the hubbub of the crowd and to practice his swordsmanship.

On the rock of Ottawa, a group of mountains towered. The two of them crossed a few lofty peaks, and the Sunset Peak appeared before them. Compared to the other towering mountain peaks, the Sunset Peak could not be considered tall and straight. It was much shorter than the other mountains.

Gu Xueluo looked at the Duskfall Peak with suspicion, then looked at Yun Jiu Tang, "Is this the peak where you hide your Qiong Qi? How can a small mountain like this hide a Qiong Qi beast?"

"What, you don't believe it?" Yun Jiu Tang pointed at the mountainside of the Duskfall Peak and said proudly, "Don't underestimate this Duskfall Peak. The desperate situation that Shen Jingyang discovered is not something that can only be detected from the outside."

Yun Jiu Tang stretched out his body and brought Gu Xue Luo down, flying through the white clouds and landing on a narrow clearing halfway up the mountain in the face of the cold winter wind. When she regained her balance, Gu Xueluo discovered that even though she was halfway up the mountain, she still felt as if she had stood in a sea of clouds. Her figure was indiscernible, almost like a fairyland. Under Yun Jiuchang's lead, the two parted the dense foliage in front of them, as if they were in a secret room without daylight. As they moved forward, a huge cave opened up before them. The cave entrance was deep and serene, and from time to time, the cold and gloomy air would sound out, along with faint ghostly wails. It was as if the entrance to the death passage was a creepy place.

"Xueluo, don't be afraid. This place is very safe." Yun Jiu Tang held onto Gu Xue Luo as they slowly walked into the cave. Gu Xueluo's hand that was as warm as jade was grasped tightly by him, like a warm current flowing into his heart. This was an incomparably wonderful feeling. In the past, when he held her hand, he didn't have the time to experience such a blissful feeling when a great enemy was approaching. This time, holding her hand, in such a leisurely time, he was able to have such an experience.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the entrance to the cave suddenly opened. A huge space appeared. This space was not dark. Strands of sunlight shone down from above, allowing a clear view of the cave.

Yun Jiu Tang looked at Gu Xueluo's puzzled expression, "Xueluo, when you see the Qiong Qi, you won't hate it so much anymore." He pointed to a huge rock in front of him, upon which an object was faintly glowing.

Gu Xueluo slowly approached the jade and finally saw the object on the giant rock. It turned out to be a glowing Exquisite Pagoda. "Could this be the legendary Exquisite Pagoda?" Gu Xueluo asked in puzzlement.

"That's right, this is the Exquisite Pagoda in the Great Sea. It is specially used to imprison Qiong Qi divine beasts …"

"Could it be that Qiong Qi is in such a small tower?"

"That's right. Only by staying in this tower can Qiong Qi be safer." As he said this, Yun Jiu Tang cautiously picked up the Exquisite Pagoda. The pagoda's body emitted a strange light. Within the pagoda, a small ferocious beast was imprisoned.

"Gu Xueluo took a look, it really is Qiong Qi!" In the vast sea, Qiong Qi's body is huge, fierce, and has limitless power. Why does he become like this now? "

"Xueluo, do you know that the Qiong Qi beasts are actually not just one person, but a pair!?"

"A pair?"

"Yes, in the battle between Hanhai and Qiong Qi, on the ice field of a thousand miles, that giant Qiong Qi suddenly split into two, and they became two Qiong Qi's. They intertwined with each other and snuggled together …" The two Qiongqi experts faced the sky and roared, releasing a fierce attack towards Shen Jingyang and him. When he killed one of them with the second volume of the Sky and Earth Profound Yellow Scripture, the other gave up resisting, and nestled beside Qiong Qi who had fallen to the ground, letting out waves of low growls. His huge eyes were sparkling. "Oh, it turns out that they have become an inseparable pair." Therefore, I cannot bear to kill this Qiong Qi. However, if I stay in the Great Sea, I will definitely be ambushed by people from the Six Realms who have ulterior motives, so I can only imprison it within the Exquisite Pagoda and bring it back. "

When Gu Xueluo heard about the secret matters of the Qiong Qi Beast, she couldn't help being shocked and then more touched. She didn't expect the seemingly evil and bloodthirsty poor strange beast to be so loyal, this had upended her previous memories and knowledge. He remembered the first time when he killed beasts in the vast seas, Qiong Qi was as fierce as no one else. He roared as he attacked everyone, causing a huge commotion like a snow beast. Lang Gong died under Qiong Qi's claws.

Yun Jiu Tang saw that she had thought about it, and his emotions had eased up, "Beasts are like this, how can humans endure this! I don't want to see anyone hurt Qiong Qi on any other pretext. It has no resistance now and is harmless to people. "

"Is that really the case? Are you sure you want to keep it? "

"As long as the Exquisite Pagoda is here, I will never come out and cause trouble. It will forever be imprisoned in the Exquisite Pagoda."

"This way of treating it, is it really for its own good? Leaving it to live in loneliness and sorrow?"

"That would be better than killing it," Yun Jiuchang sighed and said slowly, "We're still human, we have a conscience and a heart of pity …" As for the Qiong Qi in the Exquisite Pagoda, it was as if it had touched the fragile string of Yun Jiu Tang's feelings. Looking at Qiong Qi was like looking at one's own loss of one's loved one; it was extremely painful.

Yun Jiu Tang turned around and looked at Gu Xue Luo. This Heavenly Immortal girl, the one he loved most in his past life, was now a thousand miles away from him. He really wanted to tell Gu Xueluo of his ancestry, but at this moment, he could only silently conceal it.

"Then where are you going to place it? This Broken Ridge Cave might be hidden, but what if someone discovers it after a long time?" Gu Xueluo seemed to be moved by the Qiong Qi's story and couldn't help but to worry about the Qiong Qi's safety.

This is what I'm worried about. For the time being, I'll leave it here for the time being, the Shooting Sun will come here to look after it from time to time, "Yun Jiuchang gently placed the Exquisite Pagoda on the giant rock, sighed, and frowned slightly," Now, I have an even more important mission. It's to thoroughly investigate the tragedy that occurred in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest.
