Destiny is ashes

Chapter 358 The Past (13)

Bai Qinghan is in Linjiang City, and is with his mother Shen Mubai.

This kind of thing sounds a little unbelievable, but it is not surprising if you think about it carefully... With the power of the Tianyi Demon Cult, especially the ability of the group of demon cult members led by the Northern Patrol Envoy who infiltrated Dachen, it would be strange if they couldn't find Shen Mubai.

This is also the reason why An Jing is worried about his mother's safety and wants to find her as soon as possible.

Although it seems now that An Jing was one step late, or even many steps late...but it seems that Bai Qinghan did not do anything?
"Big Brother, you and my aunt are reunited after a long time, so I won't disturb you for now."

After meeting An Jing, Bai Qinghan bowed slightly and then disappeared into the house.

An Jing had many doubts in his mind, but Xiaobai was right, so he decided to ask his mother about the situation first.

The two also entered the house. Bai Qinghan avoided suspicion in the back room, while An Jing and his mother sat in front of the fire, shaking hands and talking.

Shen Mubai kept asking An Jing about what had happened in recent days, and An Jing also gave a detailed account of most of his actions after arriving at Xuanming Manor.

As for matters related to the Fuxie Sword Spirit and the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing said frankly that there were some things that he could not tell his mother for the time being, and Shen Mubai also expressed his understanding of this - it was enough for her to see An Jing safe, and her son was in front of her in good health, which was more important than anything else.

What's more, Shen Mubai knew very well in his heart: If she knew the secret of his son that could not be told to others, then if other people knew it in the future, they would definitely consider arresting her to get the secret.

Of course, if he met someone who really wanted to target him in this way, Shen Mubai would be caught whether he knew the secret or not, but he didn't know it, so even if he was caught, it would not cause any harm to his son after the secret was leaked through various means.

An Jing was relieved that his mother understood this. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but now was not the right time.

The secret of the Tianyuan Realm is easy to uncover, it can be covered up by using the hidden cave world. It would be best if Fuxie didn't reveal anything at all. If Tianmo gets wind of it, he really can forget about living a peaceful life.

However, An Jing was a little strange.

Because Shen Mubai seemed to be familiar with Xuanming Manor.

"Qinghan told me everything."

In response, Shen Mubai looked towards the back room and said with a smile: "I know that she and you are from the same class of disciples in the village, but she chose to stay in the village, and you defected and left... She told me about you from her perspective."

"Son, I am proud of your choice."

"Yeah." An Jing looked expressionless, but in fact he took a deep breath in his heart: [No, why did Xiaobai even say this? ]

——Fortunately, everything I did was open and aboveboard and could be shown to my parents, family members and friends, otherwise it would have been so unlucky!
To be honest, at that moment, An Jing went over in his mind everything he had done in Xuanming Manor, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for what An Jing did in Kanming City after leaving Xuanming Manor, Shen Mubai knew it in great detail.

Not only was the process spread across the country by the storyteller, but also because Bai Qinghan told him in detail the details of Kanming City - although there were some differences from An Jing's actual experience, and it was from the perspective of the Demon Cult, it was generally explainable.

"This... why?"

An Jing really didn't quite understand why Bai Qinghan did this.

Because from the details, Bai Qinghan was not only telling the truth, she did not even hide her identity as a member of the Demon Cult. She told Shen Mubai clearly that she was the "Xuanyin Goddess" of the Tianyi Demon Cult and was still in the Demon Cult.

Regardless of why the other person's hair turned white and why she appeared in Linjiang City... An Jing was just confused: "Why didn't she take my mother away?"

"Linjiang City is so dangerous, she doesn't have to wait for me, she can just take my mother back to Tianyi Mountain."

"At that time, I couldn't say that what she did was wrong. Others might be angry and think that this was the cult's attempt to control my thoughts, but as long as you explain it to me clearly, Xiaobai knows that I won't be angry about it. I will only find a way to bring my mother out."

Putting his confusion aside for the moment, An Jing shook his head slightly and asked his mother for her opinion. "I don't have any opinion."

Shen Mubai shook his head slightly: "The Demon Cult is indeed evil, but we can only take care of ourselves first. Jing'er, there are too many things in this world that are difficult, tiring, and painful... Our family is also a refugee, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand... It's better to be confused than to be confused."

"At first, I thought Qinghan was planning to take me to the Demonic Cult and bring you back to the Cult. But later I realized that she came here just to protect me."

"And I can see...she has something to ask you, so she's staying at my place where you'll definitely come."

"Looking for me..."

An Jing was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly and asked about his mother's experiences in the past two years.

Everything was just as An Jing had guessed.

The place where the two parted, Mingshan City in the northern border quickly collapsed.

Millions of residents fled, and only a small number of defenders and military guards were stationed in the entire city. Soon after, the Northern Barbarian Army attacked from three directions at the same time and quickly broke through Mingshan City, which was built on the mountain and could never fall with normal defenses.

But then, the area around Mingshan City encountered the largest snowstorm of the frost disaster, and the entire mountain was almost frozen. It is said that the Northern Barbarians also suffered heavy losses as a result, and thus stopped their large-scale invasion.

It was in this context that Shen Mubai raced against time against the frost disaster and reached the vicinity of Broken Blade Mountain at the fastest speed.

As a warrior, Shen Mubai would at least not have to worry about food and clothing after he recovered his strength. Moreover, they also had some silver with them for travel expenses, but it was useless in the wilderness.

After arriving at the vicinity of Broken Blade Mountain, Shen Mubai rested for a while in this remote courtyard.

There was originally an old man from the An family guarding this place, but the old man could not survive the severe cold of the frost and died in an icy summer.

After Shen Mubai had recuperated, he was afraid that the frost disaster would continue to spread, so he left Linjiang City and continued to move south. Many people in Duanren Mountain also moved away as a result, and the originally prosperous banks of Yujiang River immediately became deserted.

The Linlang Chamber of Commerce moved in during that period.

Shen Mubai still remembered that when she left Linjiang City, the Linlang Chamber of Commerce had a conflict with the local forces of Linjiang City, and several gunfights broke out between the two sides.

But at that time, there were no government warriors to stop such fights, and the results of all the fights ended with Linlang Chamber of Commerce winning a great victory.

However, all this had nothing to do with Shen Mubai. She went all the way south to Beirui City in the southeast, where she disguised her identity, recuperated, and then practiced hard, breaking through her inner breath like a river.

"Then, I heard about you and knew that you were teleported to the Northern Frontier, so I set out from Beirui and prepared to wait for you near Broken Blade Mountain."

"On the way, I met this girl who claimed to be your junior sister... She explained your situation to me and then escorted me back to Linjiang City."

This was Shen Mubai's experience, simple but also thrilling - An Jing could see how dangerous Shen Mubai's experiences of "escaping", "avoiding fights" and "breaking through the blockade of bandits" were several times.

"You can wait for me in Beirui City."

Hearing this, An Jing couldn't help but speak: "I couldn't find you in Linjiang City, so I naturally went to other agreed places... Beirui is warm and safe, there will be no accidents if I stay there!"

"How could there be none? The situation in Beirui City is very strange right now. Warriors in the city are disappearing one after another. Rumor has it that someone has discovered a maze in the underground river... Many warriors from other places are gathering there. It's clear that something has changed."

Shen Mubai shook his head slightly: "The more people there are, the more likely it is that they will see through my true identity. If your apprentice sister Bai can find my mother, then naturally other forces will be able to find her too."

"I just felt vaguely that something was wrong, as if someone was watching me, so I decided to set off."

——But the person who is monitoring you may very well be the Tianyi Demon Cult!
