The Spirit World

Chapter 66 Ah Moebius
"When I was a child, I heard a story about an unknown hero in the distant Ether Empire who would defeat all demons and even the evil spirit would disappear. This story was quite popular, but because everyone's life was so good, they had forgotten it." The innkeeper looked at Old Tom and poured him a glass of wine.

"I don't think there are any demons. They are all fake! The evil spirit has existed for thousands of years, but I have never seen any demon appear." Old Tom drank a bowl of wine. His black hair mixed with snow made him look a little old.

"Hey, don't say that! Have you forgotten what happened three months ago? The devil really appeared!!" The hotel owner looked at him with a fork in his hand.

"Don't mention it. It's just a rumor. No one has seen it with their own eyes. These things are all hearsay. But when you mentioned it three months ago, I remembered that apprentice. He seemed to have moved away and I haven't seen him since that day." Old Tom glanced at the hotel owner and put the dish into his mouth.

"That child is very strange! He always looked thoughtful and didn't cry or make a fuss. He just followed you quietly for a year?"

"He is quite smart. He has basically figured out the situation here in a year! He is also very interested in magic and has a very high talent. He wants to participate in the Dragon Expedition and needs money, so he asked me to be his guide. But his parents don't seem to want him to learn magic."

"Why? With such good qualifications, isn't it a pity?"

"How would I know? But he did it secretly, and I sometimes lied to him." Old Tom drank another glass of wine, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and hesitated: "You suddenly told me this story, don't you want to say..."

"Hehe!" The hotel owner smiled and filled the glass. There was no one in the hotel, so they could talk without restraint: "Remember the time traveler incident three months ago? The space mage accidentally summoned a man from another world with extraordinary talents, and that man was eventually executed."

"What do you want to say? I don't understand." Old Tom chewed the food, his jaw moving slowly until it stopped.

"Your apprentice may also be a time traveler, gifted with extraordinary talents. He suddenly settled here ten years ago, but disappeared out of thin air three months ago... Maybe he is really a time traveler?"

"I thought you were going to say that he was the hero you were talking about who was going to kill the devil..."

"Who knows? Everything is possible, old friend. It's been a thousand years, and now it's snowing in Wenti County, which has never seen snow before! Don't underestimate the unpredictable world. Maybe, there is God's will in the dark." The hotel owner filled the glass with another glass of wine, and old Tom drank it in one gulp. He looked at the white snow all around him, and the shadow of a fair-skinned boy gradually emerged in his eyes, and the lotus umbrella was dazzling green.

The wine was so bitter that he was speechless for a moment.

[Border between Bailing Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain]

"Lin'er, where did you buy this kind of silk?" Chang Yufeng looked at the purple silk scarf on his wrist and said, "It doesn't look like it's from the Ether Empire..." The four of them jumped in the woods, slowly approaching the source of the fire on Qingfeng Mountain. It was already half-dawn, and the light shining on his face made it look bright red.

"Lastar bought it. What? Brother Yufeng, do you still want it?" Lin'er narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"No, it's a bit awkward for a man like me to wear this kind of scarf."

"Really? I think it's pretty!" Lin'er jumped in front of Chang Yufeng. For some reason, she was extremely happy, like a bird that had flown out of a cage. In Bailing Mountain, even if she smiled, it was only at him and Erica. She never smiled at other people. That feeling of being distant was like a time bomb hanging in her heart, which could detonate the loneliness in her heart at any time.

Now she was like a bird flying in the woods, and only at this moment could he feel a little freedom and was so happy that he couldn't control himself, as if this journey was not to put out the fire in Qingfeng Mountain but to leave forever.

Chang Yufeng jumped to her side and jumped side by side with her, and the dense branches gradually moved away from them.

"Have you been to Rastar? It's a super city in the Principality of Allan! I really want to go and take a look!" Chang Yufeng put the scarf in his right hand in place, looked at her with his heroic eyes and asked: "What is the use of this? Although I know it's not an ordinary scarf."

"Do you really want to know?" Lin'er looked at him as a white bird flew quickly between them.

"Of course, that's what I'm asking." Chang Yufeng put his wrist in front of Lin'er and shook it.

Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng and was silent for a long time. Her purple pupils radiated beautiful light under the rising sun. Chang Yufeng's black pupils moved slightly. At this moment, time seemed to have frozen. A group of white birds passed by. They flew slowly, and in the red morning sun, they were soaked in bright red, just like an oil painting. Lin'er said words that made Chang Yufeng make up his mind. The birds flew by like white clouds, soaring with an ignorant heart.

Chang Yufeng nodded slightly. He looked at Lin'er's long hair and felt like he was walking side by side with a fairy. At this moment, he felt her beauty.

In this world, the only girl who shared a secret with her turned out to be so beautiful.

He coughed and said to her seriously: "Well! I won't leave you! No matter where you are!"

"Yeah!" Lin'er looked at her and smiled even more brightly: "Lin'er believes in Brother Yufeng."

"Hey! What are you two whispering about in front?" Erica was also jumping on the trees side by side. The sword with the word Zhao on it was obviously a little too big on her back. "Ahem." Chang Yufeng looked at Erica and gave her a stern look as if he were an elder brother: "Don't meddle in other people's business, kid!"

"Hmph! I'm just one year younger than you, and you just want to bully me!" Erica stepped on the tree, obviously with more force. Xu Wenwen was behind her, her face covered by a mask, so her expression could not be seen. No one knew what she was thinking, but there was obviously a slight smile through the mask. Her clothes were still gorgeous, different from everyone else's white casual clothes.

They will soon arrive at the source of the Qingfeng Mountain fire. With their training in the Qilin Jar and the library, plus the guidance of Master Shu Weng, they have obviously improved. However, the Tianzi Rank is not called that for nothing. This kind of rapid training is only suitable for them. Other ranks are still learning swordsmanship. They have already learned the basic swordsmanship and the method of improving their spiritual power from Master Shu Weng.

"Brother, look! It's a fire!" Erica pointed ahead and quickly jumped onto the top of a tree. Everyone followed her to the top of the tree.
The billowing smoke quickly surrounded the entire Qingfeng Mountain, like a black ghost claw holding the entire Qingfeng Mountain in its hand. At the foot of the mountain were the people who had been evacuated. Fortunately, some people were awakened by the thick smoke while they were sleeping, otherwise they might have stayed in their sleep forever.

"There are still people on the top of the mountain who haven't come out yet!" someone shouted! The woman next to him squatted on the ground crying, and he shouted again: "There is also a five-year-old child missing! Please help find him!" He didn't look like the mother's husband, nor did he look like Bai Lingshan's senior brother.

"Brother..." Erica pulled Chang Yufeng's clothes and looked at him with big eyes full of pity.

In this village at the foot of the mountain, there is a suffocating feeling. The fire here has been put out and it spread from the mountain.

Chang Yufeng felt a very scary aura, it was demonic energy, and it was very powerful. The senior brother who came before should have already rushed over.

"Everyone be careful." Chang Yufeng took out the sword, and the blue sword energy was already burning vigorously on the sword body.

Lin'er's all-powerful hands spread out from behind like wings. Chang Yufeng looked ahead and saw a fiery red sword suddenly appearing in the forest. A man in a black robe was walking out of the darkness carrying it on his back. The other man in a black robe was very small, and both of them were hidden in his robes. Behind him, more people in black robes suddenly appeared.

Rows of people in black robes came out of the dark forest. Even when the sunlight shone on their faces, their faces could not be seen clearly.

"I thought we were going to launch a massive attack on that fairy mountain, but we just released a smoke bomb and the fish took the bait." A voice came out from the very small black robe.

Who? Them? Chang Yufeng looked at the other three people, and they all looked at him in surprise.

The black-robed man jumped off the shoulder of another black-robed man, and pointed the two strange stones in his hands at Lin'er. He joined other black-robed men and planned to attack the mountain. They couldn't ask for directions to the Peach Blossom Street, so they could only lure the snake out of its hole. Setting fire to the mountain was just one of the steps. This would definitely attract the attention of Bailing Mountain. The first group of teams sent over would definitely not be able to escape their net. If this goes on, they would definitely be suspected. The implementation of the second step of the plan was to deliberately release the controlled personnel to destroy the barrier of Bailing Mountain from the inside, regardless of casualties, and take away the first key. If the second step failed, they would lure the tiger away from the mountain. Even if there were immortals living in Bailing Mountain, it would be difficult not to care about the innocent lives of an entire city.

Naturally, they had only one purpose, which was to get the first key. Whether Bai Lingshan knew about the first key was another matter.

Now that most of the planning was done, the key came directly to it. To be honest, he still had to be a little more careful.

The strange stone in its hand pointed directly at Lin'er. Everyone looked at Lin'er. Lin'er gritted her teeth and kept staring at the little black robe.

What was going on? Did Lin'er know these black-robed people? Did she encounter them during those ten years?
Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"What do you want to do?" Chang Yufeng didn't know why they came, but a bad premonition echoed in his mind.

The little black-robed man smiled and said, "Little brat, this has nothing to do with you, but you still have to stay and witness your death~"

"Ah, Mobius, are you done yet?" one of the black-robed men behind it shouted loudly.

Ah, Mobius almost staggered when he was called, and it was even more obvious that he didn't like this name very much.

Chang Yufeng looked at the black-robed men standing in a row. They all emitted green light, except for the short black-robed man called Amebius and the big black-robed man behind him who was carrying a white and red long sword.

The green lights combined with the green of the forest were very strange.

The four people from Tianbu looked at those bright red eyes from the black robes and held the swords in their hands even tighter.

The flaming long sword was drawn out, flashing a terrifying red light.

"Leave the key alive, remember! As for the rest, you can do with it as you please!" Moebius put the stone away and jumped onto the shoulders of the man in black robe behind him. His skull-like face was exposed, looking eerie and terrifying.
