From the end of the world

Chapter 595 Reunion

Although I didn't make any prior contact, Ma Zao, Zhu Shi, and Mr. Zhu were already waiting in front of the gate of the mansion.

It was probably due to the fluctuation of my mana not long ago. They had foreseen that I would return soon, so they had prepared to welcome me. And looking at their figures, I actually felt a little "homesick".

From my own subjective experience, the time I have been apart from Ma Zao is not very long, but how is it for Ma Zao? More than four months is not that long if you are serious about it, but I still can't help but worry that the relationship between Ma Zao and me will cool down.

Xiao Wan also showed a somewhat timid and guilty expression. Zhu Shi and Mr. Zhu were both people she was very familiar with, but that was only at the information level. The people who really had a close relationship with them were Zhu Jiu and childhood Zhu Shi, not herself. Even if she revealed the truth, the other party might regard her as an evil spirit who had taken over the magpie's nest. It's not that I can't figure out her state of mind at the moment.

From a distance, Ma Zao also saw me. Her eyes fell on my face, and her expression showed the joy of meeting again after a long separation.

In my memory, she didn't smile very often. Although she was no longer as melancholy as when we first met as we got along, her expression was still not very colorful. But when she saw me, she smiled widely and happily, and even had tears of excitement in her eyes. Seeing her reaction like this, although it was not very glorious, I felt very peaceful.

Of course, she also saw the small bowl beside me. Surprise, confusion, surprise and other emotions appeared one after another. After hesitating for a moment, she rushed towards me, then pounced into my arms and hugged me tightly.

"Zhuang Cheng!" she shouted loudly in a voice full of joy.

"I'm back, Ma."

I hugged her tightly, feeling her soft body and body temperature, breathing in the fragrance of her hair. She also buried her face deeply in my chest, rubbing it hard, breathing greedily, as if she wanted to imprint her breath on me again.

Then, Ma Zao reluctantly pulled her face out of my arms and looked at Xiao Wan again. Xiao Wan immediately went forward and hugged Ma Zao, and shouted loudly: "Sister Ma Zao!"

"Xiaowan!" Ma Zao hugged Xiaowan tightly.

The petite girl and the girl younger than her hugged each other tightly. They had experienced a long time together that I could not estimate, and even they themselves could not calculate. They had many hardships that I did not know about. Under the attack of the Doomsday Demon, they had to separate. At one point, they thought that they would never see each other again.

And now, thanks to countless miracles, they are finally reunited.

Ma Zao raised her face again, her eyes wandering between me and Xiao Wan. She seemed to be at a loss for what to do with this double happiness, as if she didn't know how to hug both me and Xiao Wan at the same time. Xiao Wan reached out and turned Ma Zao's body, pushing her towards me. In the end, it became an awkward position where Ma Zao hugged me, and Xiao Wan hugged Ma Zao tightly from behind.

Ma Zao, who was being treated like a sandwich, was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have given up thinking. He hugged my body like a drunk, with a silly smile on his face.

This doesn't look like the "Witch of Gospel" in the "Apocalypse" legend at all.

Zhu Shi and Mr. Zhu also came forward.

Zhu Shi was not as out of control as Ma Zao, he just looked at me and Ma Zao with a very happy expression, and looked at Xiao Wan with surprise. Mr. Zhu also observed Xiao Wan's appearance with a look of doubt.

"Welcome back, Zhuang Cheng." Zhu Shi said with emotion.

"Could this girl be..." Mr. Zhu looked at Xiaowan.

Xiaowan buried her face in Ma Zao's back, as if she didn't dare to look Mr. Zhu in the eye.

"She is Xiaowan," I said. "We will explain her later. Mr. Zhu, please also explain what happened during the time I disappeared."

Mr. Zhu's expression turned serious, and he said, "Okay, let's go inside and sit down and talk together."
-
We sat down in the hall of the mansion. Mr. Zhu explained to me what had happened during this period, while Ma Zao still held me tightly and continued to explain with Zhu Shi. At the beginning, Liu Shuying and I joined forces to attack the main base of Taoyuan Township. Huang Quan and Xu Gou appeared at the same time to help Taoyuan Township Lord Meng Zhang. Because Taoyuan Township Lord and Huang Quan had calculated the attack of Liu Shuying and me in advance, they set up a large-scale barrier in the surrounding area and other means, so the mana fluctuations were not captured by Luoshan Headquarters in the first time. When the Great Impermanence of Luoshan Headquarters realized the movement here, the battle was over.

When I was exiled to the void, I sensed that the mana fluctuations of Willow Shadow and Taoyuan Township Lord Meng Zhang disappeared at the same time, but the latter was not dead. The disappearance of the mana fluctuations may be due to being seriously injured, or using some method to revive afterwards, or the essence of the one fighting with us at that time was also an incarnation, etc. In short, Taoyuan Township Lord Meng Zhang reappeared in the observation of Luoshan Headquarters a month later.

Liu Shuying disappeared without a trace. Luoshan Headquarters could only confirm that he was not dead, but could not pinpoint his whereabouts. Xu Gou went into hiding again and disappeared.

As for me, Fa Zheng also said that everyone knew that I was not dead at all, but there was no news. A month later, Yuchi locked onto my "doomsday era" through the divine seal fragment technology, and then passed this news to Ma Zao and others.

Ma Zao had been searching for me non-stop for a month, and had also tried to use the return mark left on my body to teleport directly to my side. However, after experiencing the baptism of nothingness, although the power of the broom star did not disappear, the return mark was completely washed away. This is why after knowing that I returned to the real world, Ma Zao did not teleport to my side through the return power as soon as possible.

After getting the information from Yuchi, Ma Zao calmed down. She knew that she had no way to be teleported to the "Doomsday Era", and since I was in the "Doomsday Era", it meant that the helpless Xiaowan had a chance to get my help, which was actually good news that could make her happy in the midst of suffering.

At the same time, she had this idea - since she could come to the modern world from the "Apocalypse Era", and I could go to the "Apocalypse Era" from the modern world, it meant that there was a way to travel between the two "eras". So she changed direction and conducted in-depth research on the methods of moving between different eras, and hoped that I could also find a way to teleport to the peaceful modern world with the small bowl.

Although she felt uneasy and lonely, she still had hope and a direction to work towards, so she decided to be strong, endure those negative emotions and continue exploring.

However, the good times did not last long. Four months after I disappeared, Mingzhu began to take action.

My life span is only nine years at most, and every minute and every second is extremely precious to Mingzhu. He repeatedly investigated my whereabouts during those four months, and he may have tentatively exorcised the Xuanming Fire and my flame in his body in the process. In the end, he was completely sure that I really disappeared in the real time and space, and at least I would not come back in the near future. So he completely tore up the oath he made to me and attacked the place where Ma Zao was.

To be honest, I think he is extremely cautious. If it were me, I would probably wait for a week or two before I could no longer resist and take action, but he actually waited for half a year. Perhaps this can also be seen from the side that he is afraid of me.

And then, he encountered two huge obstacles.

The first resistance came from Fa Zheng.

I never took the cooperation with Fa Zheng seriously in the past, but Fa Zheng took this covenant more seriously than I expected. Ming Zhuo made the oath to me in front of him. In his eyes, who values ​​rules, this behavior is probably serious. So after sensing Ming Zhuo's malicious mana fluctuations heading towards the people around me, he attacked without hesitation.

But if it was just this level, it was probably within Mingzhu's expectations. Mingzhu was as unpredictable as the representative of the Transcendentalists, and as the leader of the Governanceists, how could he not know what kind of temper Fazheng had. His idea at the time was probably that as long as he was fast enough, he could just snatch the person and run away, so that Fazheng would not catch him in the act.

Fa Zheng attached great importance to evidence, so Ming Zhuo probably felt that as long as he did not leave any direct evidence, Fa Zheng would not be able to do anything to him due to the rules and dogmas.

What led to Mingzhuo's failure was the second obstacle he never expected.

That is Zhu Shi.

More than seven months had passed since Zhu Shi began to communicate on forging the Yama Sword with the help of Ma Zao.

Although there is still a short distance to 100% communication, Zhu Shi in this state has almost communicated with the Yama Sword to 80% of the progress, and can already exert the true power of the Yama Sword. As expected, the Yama Sword that has completed the communication can allow the holder to exert the combat power of the Great Impermanence level, and now Zhu Shi can use the White Tiger killing power of the Great Impermanence level two or three times like performing a special move.

If it were a power of other attributes of the Great Impermanence, it would be impossible to achieve decent results in actual combat against a veteran Great Impermanence like Mingzhu. However, the extremely ferocious killing power of the White Tiger actually blocked Mingzhu.
