I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan looked at the empty sky and his heart tightened.

"Second Uncle..."

"Don't worry. He's fine for now. Although... it's only temporary."

Mu Chaoyun came up to him from behind and spoke softly.

Xie Yuan looked sideways and frowned:
"Then where did he go? Could it be..."

He looked up at the sky, looking at the black hole in the center of the thick clouds, his brows furrowed.

Looking at the black hole, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart, and subconsciously lowered his head and looked away.

Mu Chaoyun nodded slightly:
"Yes. If I am right, I am afraid that all the Grand Masters have gone there by now, to the same place."

Xie Yuan immediately showed a surprised look:
"They're all gone? What on earth is…"

Mu Chaoyun sighed:
"When the catastrophe comes, the world will no longer exist. The great masters will have to stop or help this great change in the world, whether they want to or not.

"However, there will always be heroes in a great catastrophe. The first few great masters of the time were rare figures. As far as I know, they should be prepared, at least they will not be defeated one by one.

"Nine stars are shining, the heart of heaven is returning to its place, this is the final catastrophe."

She said a lot in one breath, and then exhaled lightly, seeming a little tired.

Xie Yuan saw that Mu Chaoyun finally stopped hiding things. Although he didn't explain it in detail, he revealed enough information for him to think deeply.

However, he was not happy because of Mu Chaoyun's frankness. Instead, he felt even heavier in his heart. He grasped Mu Chaoyun's hand and said:

"I understand what you said. You can take a rest. I think I should be able to see clearly what will happen next."

Mu Chaoyun just smiled, and gently held Xie Yuan's hand with her soft but cold jade hand:
"You should understand this in your heart. Although there are many heroes in this world, you are the most special one. You are the one who breaks it all. You should believe in yourself. This is the only thing I know after... deducing it thousands of times. You must remember it."

She was pale, but her smile was very beautiful:
"No wonder the Azure Fruit chose you."

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and nodded:

"I understand. Just say less..."

Mu Chaoyun finally agreed and leaned lightly on his shoulder, taking a rest.

She looked at his profile with complicated eyes filled with reluctance, heartache, sadness and hope.

Xie Yuan looked up at the dark hole in silence.

Although his heart was pounding and heavy, he did not look away this time.

This day, it seems like it's about to fall.

If there is a disaster in this world that cannot be avoided——

You stand in this world, with relatives, good friends, people who care about you and whom you care about, and lovers who will share life and death with you.

And there are the mountains and rivers that left him with many memories.

There are also hundreds of millions of living common people.

Xie Yuan's eyes were firm.

If the sky really falls, he will be the one to bear the consequences.

call--

A stream of light rose into the sky and approached Xie Yuan and the other person.

Xie Yuan turned his head and saw an old man with a strong aura appear. He stopped in the distance and bowed to them:

"I am Yu Desheng, the leader of the Huangtu Sect. Nice to meet you two friends."

Yu Desheng had a strong aura and profound skills, but he did not act arrogantly. He could feel that although the two people in front of him were young, their realm was no worse than his, and they were also masters of the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth.

Even if he couldn't feel it, he had witnessed the previous battle and knew that if a fight really broke out, he might not be the opponent.

What's more, the battle between the Grandmasters later...

Yu Desheng heard their calls, but he remained calm and pretended not to hear them.

Xie Yuan looked at this powerful master and knew that if he had not arrived in time, this man would have become Wu Dao Ji's food.

However, he did not explain it too clearly, but just briefly explained the cause and effect, so that Yu Desheng understood that he had been to the gates of hell and had now escaped danger.

Yu Desheng's expression changed several times. Finally, he looked at the mess on the ground and the half-collapsed sect and sighed:
"It's such an unexpected disaster..."

Seeing Yu Desheng's solemn expression, Xie Yuan also understood the feelings of the victim, so he just cupped his hands:
"I still have to track down that old ghost, so I won't stay here for long."

Yu Desheng was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise:
"Isn't that person still dead?"

"I don't believe he died so easily. To prevent him from resurrecting, we have to investigate further. Goodbye!"

Xie Yuan bowed and said goodbye, then took Mu Chaoyun and turned into a stream of light and left.

Yu Desheng wanted to say something, but his expression changed as he looked at the two people who had already gone far away.

He looked at the chaotic sect below him, sighed, turned back, and presided over the cleanup and reconstruction.

In the sky.

Xie Yuan held the candlestick in one hand and the dragon soul in the other, feeling it silently.

After a moment, his eyes darkened:
"He's not dead yet."

Mu Chaoyun looked at him:
"Have you noticed where he is?"

Xie Yuan nodded slightly:

"Very faint, only in the general direction - but enough."

When Wu Daoji faced Lu Xuefeng, he committed suicide too decisively.

Lu Xuefeng didn't know Wu Dao Ji, and perhaps thought that he was a proud and arrogant senior who would never tolerate humiliation.

But Xie Yuan had been dealing with Wu Daoji for some time and knew how cunning, cruel, and forbearing Wu Daoji was.

He is willing to endure a thousand years of loneliness and continue to survive. If he is really desperate, he will definitely pretend to be friendly with Lu Xuefeng, and then seize the opportunity to compete with him spiritually and fight to the end.

Since he did not do so, but simply ended his life, Xie Yuan, who had seen it once, understood that he had a backup plan.

The catastrophe has begun, and troubled times are about to begin.

Not to mention anything else, what would happen if all the grand masters suddenly disappeared and the power level of the entire world dropped by one level?
The impact is complex and far-reaching, and cannot be deduced in a short period of time.

But the simplest and most intuitive thing is that those top forces have lost their greatest support at the same time.

Although there are three major families and two major sects, even the strength below the grand master is overwhelming.

But if the Grand Master, the decisive factor, is gone, one family cannot compete, two families cannot compete, what about many families at the same time? The foundation of the stable structure has been taken away, and the entire mountain will begin to shake.

Cultivation has always been a battle, especially as the higher you go, the more scarce resources become.

Without the power of a grandmaster, it would be a lot of challenges to maintain the huge foundation, just like the Xie family did in previous years.

This time, the whole world is changing, and we don’t know what more far-reaching changes will occur.

Troubled times are about to begin.

Xie Yuan frowned. The more he did so, the more he couldn't let a devil like Wu Dao Ji go.

If this top Grandmaster can catch his breath, maybe he can recover his strength soon. By then, there won't even be a Grandmaster left in the world, so how can he be controlled?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan sped up again.

Zhending Mansion.

At the canal dock, countless dock workers are loading and unloading goods.

However, the workers who work as hard as ants all day long seemed a little absent-minded today.

They always looked up at the sky in their spare moments, looking at the hole in the clouds and the deep, dark sky in the hole, and whispered to each other.

"This sky phenomenon is so strange, it's like there's a big hole poked in it. I haven't seen such a change in the sky in Zhending Prefecture in decades."

"Don't lie, what if there's a hole in the sky? God will send a flood and drown you, you bastard!"

Someone retorted and scolded.

In the past, the workers were always bold in their chats and their words and laughter were without restraint. Some were so reckless that they dared to curse even the grand master and the emperor, and tell crude and obscene jokes, and everyone would just laugh at them.

But today, whenever someone mentioned the hole that suddenly appeared in the morning, the others inexplicably dared not respond and hurried to stop them, feeling panicked.

Huangtu Sect is actually a thousand miles away from Zhending Prefecture, but everyone in Zhending Prefecture can see that sky.

A young dock worker looked up, with a gleam of light in his eyes:
"It seems like it has begun. It is a disaster, but also an opportunity..."

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a howling strong wind, and two streams of light flashed directly into the city from outside the city. After a pause, they headed straight for the dock.

Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun had already locked onto this young-looking dock worker. Mu Chaoyun stretched out his hand, and a Bagua formation appeared under his feet, locking him tightly and separating him from the others.

Xie Yuan took the lead, holding the dragon soul, and rushed directly into the formation, shooting him in the head!
The young man frowned and tilted his head to dodge the stab. His movements were so swift that he didn't look like an ordinary dock worker.
But even though he had avoided Xie Yuan's bullet on the head, he still felt cold and sluggish all over, as if standing on frost and snow; the spear tip was easy to grab, and the phantom of the dragon biting at the spear tip roared, passed by him, took a big bite, and directly tore apart his protective true energy!

He suddenly felt pain all over his body and felt that his true energy was weakened a little, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

What kind of weapon is this? It's incredibly powerful, but I've never seen Xie Yuan use it before! If Xie Yuan had this gun in his hand before, he would probably be in a more embarrassing situation.

Seeing his opponent dodge, Xie Yuan sneered:

"Wu Daoji, where are you going to run this time?"

He stabbed with his dragon soul continuously, and snowflakes suddenly began to float on the dock. The surrounding ground even began to frost, turning it into an icy blue.

This is the full power of the dragon soul. Even the power of freezing is secondary. The dragon soul that can devour and weaken the enemy's blood and true energy is the core of this spear.

Those below the level of Grandmaster have no strategy to counter this tactic, as their power will be weakened in a few strokes and they will be at a disadvantage. And if they try to defend themselves against the special features of the spear, it will be difficult for them to hold out for long under the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, and they will be left with a bloody hole if they are not careful.

Wu Daoji did not dare to confront him lightly and dodged repeatedly. However, he was trapped by Mu Chaoyun's Bagua formation and had limited space, so he could not escape.

At this moment, Wu Dao Ji was much weaker than before, and he was relying purely on the true spirit and experience of a top grandmaster to deal with Xie Yuan.

However, Xie Yuan was top-notch in both his martial arts realm and weapon skills. Even though his combat experience was slightly inferior to that of the thousand-year-old ghost, he could still fully control his own strength. With such a huge gap in realm, Wu Daoji soon began to lose strength.

A sinister look appeared on Wu Daoji's young face:

"Xie Yuan, I wanted to let you go this time, but you are so ungrateful?"

"Senior, you don't have to let me go. I don't mind."

Xie Yuan said calmly, but his hands were not calm at all, he fired one shot after another, frost wrapped in red flames, illuminating half of the river bank.

Wu Daoji snorted coldly:
"Okay! In that case, I will fight you!"

He suddenly rushed forward like a madman, ignoring Xie Yuan's Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear.

The spear stabbed him several times, but couldn't stop his momentum. He was allowed to rush in front of him, revealing a mad look:
"Let's die together!"

boom--

A loud bang sounded on the shore. Mu Chaoyun looked cold in the air behind. He waved his hand to reinforce the formation and prevent the aftermath from spreading to the surroundings.

The old ghost was cunning. Although the power of the self-explosion was great, he knew that he could not hurt Xie Yuan, who had the Indestructible Golden Bell. He was clearly trying to fish in troubled waters and break through the formation. Although he could not escape, if the aftermath of the self-explosion spread even a little, few of the workers around would be able to survive, and then the account would definitely be counted on Xie Yuan.

Fortunately, Mu Chaoyun had anticipated this and stopped it.

She looked back and saw that several masters from Zhending Prefecture were not far away, looking at her from afar. She was about to take the opportunity to defend Xie Yuan, but suddenly she saw that their eyes were all on the Tianjing Lotus in her hand, and then on the candlestick Xie Yuan took out, and her face darkened.

Xie Yuan flashed to her side, holding the candlestick, frowning and saying:

"This old ghost...can't be killed?"

"Leave here first."

Mu Chaoyun waved her jade hand lightly, looked at the masters coldly, and performed the Sky Hiding Technique to hide the two of them. Although her Sky Hiding Technique was not as perfect as Xie Yuan's, it was equally profound, and immediately made everyone lose their trace.

Those masters stepped forward involuntarily, shook their heads and sighed with regret at the sight.

Only Su Xing stood out from the crowd. He inspected the battlefield by the river for a while, asked around, and finally carefully checked the dock workers that Xie Yuan had deliberately left behind who had a trace of Wu Daoji's true spirit. His expression was serious:
"Everyone, there are many suspicious points in the battle just now. This dock worker is not a warrior, but he has been entangled with Xie Yuan for a long time. Perhaps there is something strange about the previous case, which is related to this person."

The masters all looked at him with strange expressions, but they didn't say anything.
"That's not necessarily the case..."

"At least Xie Yuan does have some stolen goods on him... Ahem, right?"

"But he is extremely powerful and difficult to capture."

"Why not just send out invitations to heroes and chase him together? After we capture him, we can then divide the rewards according to merit and split the profits equally... hm."

"good idea."

Su Xing saw that the masters had all started planning to hunt down Xie Yuan. No one cared about the several family annihilation cases that had been hotly discussed before. They were concerned about the clues to the possible murderer that were right in front of them.

Even the head escort of the Huwei Escort Agency looked eager to get a piece of the pie.

"Everyone, you have seen Xie Yuan's strength, not to mention that he has such an unfathomable helper by his side. Moreover, he is from the Chenjun Xie family, so you should not let greed cloud your reason. On the contrary, this real murderer has strange methods and seems to be able to split his soul. If you let him go, it will cause endless trouble. Everyone..."

"What are you afraid of? Xie Yuan only has two hands and two eyes. With so many of us, we really can't defeat him?"

"that is!"

"His mistress looks so weak and only knows some random formations. I could easily take care of her with just one hand if I got close to her!"

Su Xing was silent for a long time, and left the masters who were discussing fiercely and excitedly, and continued to quietly explore the riverside, trying to find out the true identity of this murderous demon. (End of this chapter)
