Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 219 Fateful Mistakes
"After fetching the Linshang Water, your legs were seriously injured on your return, so you said goodbye to your companions and stayed here?" Gu Jinheng speculated, encouraging Senior Qu to tell the complete story.

It is not surprising that Gu Jinheng can know his physical condition through divine energy.

"That's right." Qu Baiyi understood his purpose and lifted up his robe to save time.

The space under the chair where the legs were originally placed was now empty.

"When passing by a cliff, I was accidentally attacked by a giant carnivorous plant. Although I saved my life, I lost both legs. In order not to implicate my companions, I asked them to take Lin Shangshui away and also asked them to pass my message to my apprentice." Qu Baiyi said.

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng, "So Qu Mufeng didn't know about his master because none of Senior Qu's companions left the secret realm alive."

Gu Jinheng nodded and told the cruelest truth, "It is more likely that they died near the entrance and were kidnapped by the people of the Ninth Prince of the Wu Clan, who took away the Linshang Water. Before his death, Senior Qu's companion misled the people of the Ninth Prince of the Wu Clan, causing them to treat the Linshang Water as a treasure and give it to Yue Cang."

"Did Linshangshui deliver to Yue Cang? Was it successful?" Qu Baiyi's beard trembled, and he was rarely excited.

Pei Nai's eyes were filled with sadness, "No, the amount of Linshangshui was too small, it only destroyed the Hunshu fragments, Yue Cang did not die."

"Only the pure tree fragments were destroyed?" Qu Baiyi frowned, as if he had thought of the terrible consequences.

Pei Nai raised her tongue slightly and pointed to her Hunshu piece for Senior Qu to see.

Senior Qu's eyes twitched slightly, as if she finally understood why her body didn't match her actual age.

Pei Nai then retracted his words and continued, "In order to snatch Tianyao's pure tree pieces, he launched two large-scale wars ten years ago and three months ago. My original body died in the battle of Cliff Valley ten years ago."

So many lives were lost because of this that Qu Baiyi's eyes froze, almost speechless.

But the cruelest part hasn't come yet.

"Seven years ago, in order to completely destroy the Linshang Water in the secret realm of Lu State, Yue Cang sent troops to invade Lu State. The entire country of Lu fell and millions of people were killed. Now Lu State no longer exists, and only corpses are left for thousands of miles, and only the wilderness remains."

Pei Nai explained the situation word by word, "But they sent countless people in, but they still couldn't reach Linshangshui Waterfall."

Qu Baiyi lowered his head, his hands were trembling, and the guilt almost made him unable to breathe.

Pei Nai paused, "Two months ago, Yue Cang shifted his target to the Hunshu Pian of the Valley Country. The Wu tribe used the poison developed by Lei Lai Weng to successfully break through the defense line of the Valley Country. Uncle Zhang Licheng was killed, and millions of people in the Valley Country died."

She stopped here, looked at Senior Qu, and said, "Please be mentally prepared for what's coming next."

Qu Baiyi raised his head, with a moist light swirling in his eyes.

The Qi Yue Bai Gun lineage is the most benevolent and righteous, and is well-known for their good deeds, but in order to rescue the children, they made this plan.

The original intention was good. Everyone hoped to eradicate the evil in this world and kill the devil Yue Cang.

Countless patriots have come forward and sacrificed their lives for this cause.

They obtained the Linshang Water and made the Linshang Water appear in front of Yue Cang.

However, the result was not as they expected. Instead, it backfired and caused millions of innocent people to pay with their lives.

How could Qu Baiyi not feel pain? This was like a despair that was overwhelming.

He looked straight at Pei Nai, waiting for her to say the most fatal words.

Pei Nai spoke with difficulty: "In the Valley Country's counterattack, Tianyao and Qilu came to help, and Yue Cang also went to the Twenty-One Region. He took away the Hunshu piece from the Valley Country."

"Qu Mufeng, Zhou Mingfang's son Zhou Yuliang and I were the three of us chasing after him. Yue Cang fought with us one after another. Qu Mufeng and Zhou Yuliang died in the battle, and Gong Yang Zisheng, who came to rescue us, and I were both seriously injured."

Qu Baiyi's tears flowed down, and he even forgot how to breathe.

"Qu Mufeng has been looking for you all these years, asking everyone he met. He also asked me when we were in the Twenty-First Region," Pei Nai's face was already wet.

"He said, 'General Pei, have you ever seen an old man holding a white jade stick in recent years? He has a mole on the left corner of his eyebrow.'"

Gu Jinheng took Pei Nai's hand and calmed her down.

After all, Qu Mufeng died in front of her and she was powerless to do anything. Now she has to face Qu Mufeng's master.

The two waited for each other for eleven years, but were connected by Pei Nai, and missed each other forever in the face of life and death and fate. Qu Baiyi was extremely sad.

As a witness to the separation of life and death, Pei Nai would not feel good either.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for conveying his thoughts and love for you to you in this way two months later." Pei Nai was sad, but his words remained steady.

Qu Baiyi fell off the chair weakly.

Ju Liancheng stepped forward and prepared to support him, but Qu Baiyi stopped him with his hand.

He looked at the ground and laughed at himself twice, "It's our fault for not knowing our own limits and killing millions of lives. Karma has also taken away my apprentice."

"No! You can't think like that," Pei Nai shook his head, "All the evil was caused by Yue Cang, and everyone is resisting his hegemony and tyranny."

She said firmly, "This is fate, but every victim persecuted by him is not wrong! Every weak person who tried to resist is not wrong! Every warrior who fought for justice is not wrong!"

Pei Nai cried with tears in his eyes. "Yue Cang is not dead yet. You must cheer up. I will kill him. I have not only promised you, but also many victims. I have promised you that no matter what, I will do it by any means."

Qu Baiyi looked up at her, his eyes were dark and had lost all light.

"Yue Cang is gathering troops in the West. The war between the East and West is about to begin. We need you." Pei Nai hoped to cheer him up.

Qu Baiyi shook his head. He opened his robe again, revealing his broken leg. He said weakly, "I am already a useless person. I can't help you. Gu Jinheng knows my physical condition."

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng with questioning eyes.

Gu Jinheng said calmly: "Senior Qu was poisoned in his early years. The poison has penetrated deep into his lungs. He has at most three months to live."

Pei Nai was speechless.

Things have come to this point, and any further words of persuasion on her part would be disrespectful to the old man in front of her.

"You guys go now." Qu Baiyi waved his hand and sent the guests away.

Pei Nai felt sad and looked at Gu Jinheng. Gu Jinheng took her hand and took her downstairs.

The little yellow dog had left the dead rabbit in the house and chased them out, barking twice and then following them, wagging its tail.

The seven of them walked around the valley floor in a full circle but did not find the exit to return to the secret realm.

No wonder Qu Baiyi was trapped here for eleven years.

Pei Nai jumped up and tried to use his spear to trigger the mechanism on the stone wall, but it was of no use.

Dingguang Compassion Palm has also been tried, hitting the stone wall from the afternoon to the setting sun and dusk.

Pei Nai's internal energy was almost exhausted.

She slumped down on the grass, leaning into Gu Jinheng's arms, "It's over. Are we going to die here?"

Gu Jinheng hugged her tightly, resting his head on top of her head, not worried at all.

He turned the kettle beside him away and handed it to Pei Nai, "Slow down for a moment."

Pei Nai took it, drank a few sips of water, and left some for him.

Gu Jinheng also drank some water close to where her lips had touched.

Pei Nai noticed that there was a little redness on the neck behind the ear.

Gu Jinheng covered the kettle and put it aside. He lowered his head, kissed her slightly red neck, and sucked gently.

The soft coolness made Pei Na tremble slightly.
