Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

But only a few months later, the other party fell into the hands of a demon, which made Xue Qingyou subconsciously think of her parents.

More than ten years ago, Xue Qingyou, who was just a few years old, fell seriously ill and urgently needed an eighth-level rare treasure of heaven and earth to treat the illness. However, that kind of rare treasure of heaven and earth was extremely rare, and the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan did not have that rare treasure of heaven and earth in its clan treasury at that time.

In order to cure their seriously ill daughter, Xue Wuya and Zhan Wenyou took their daughter out to look for her. After searching for several months, they finally found the Eight Revolutions Heaven and Earth Treasure in a sea area.

But just when they got the Eight Revolutions Heaven and Earth Treasure, they unexpectedly ran into a demon wandering nearby, and a war immediately broke out.

These monsters are not only powerful, but also possess rare treasures that can block the surrounding space. This makes Zhan Wenyou's space magic almost useless, and he can only exert 50% to 60% of his strength.

After a long battle, even Xue Wuya and his wife, who were cultivators of the eighth realm, were exhausted.

In the moment of crisis, Zhan Wenyou did not hesitate to burn the source of her life and used a forbidden space technique to temporarily break the space blockade and send her daughter out. However, she and her husband Xue Wuya were trapped inside and finally died in battle.

Xue Qingyou tightly grasped the Eight-turn Heaven and Earth Treasure that her parents had found with great difficulty, and was teleported tens of thousands of miles away by the forbidden space technique, where she met Yin Ci who was out on a mission at the time.

It happened that Yin Ci was disgusted with Zhu Yingqiu for coming to this secluded peak every day and disturbing her life and the life of her disciples, so she brought Xue Qingyou back to Xuelingxu and asked Xue Qingyou to deal with Zhu Yingqiu.

Although Yin Ci taught Xue Qingyou swordsmanship, he did not accept her as a disciple. Instead, he asked her to become a disciple of the master of Wenjian Peak, one of the twenty-four peaks in Xuelingxu.

Of course, although she did not take Yin Ci as her master, Xue Qingyou would still go to this Youfeng peak from time to time to ask Yin Ci for advice on swordsmanship, to practice with Zhu Yingqiu, and to listen to Yin You's stories.

She had very happy years in Xueling Ruins. The Ruins Master, the elders and the disciples were all kind-hearted people. They helped Xue Qingyou get over the sadness of her parents' death and regain hope in life.

But just when she made up her mind to return to her family and investigate the truth behind her parents' death, Zhan Qing, the only person she had contact with, died at the hands of a demon.

This made Xue Qingyou wonder if she was destined to be alone.

"Will everyone related to me suffer misfortune in the end?"

Xue Qingyou's eyes were dim, with sadness and confusion that were difficult to conceal.

"Qingyou girl, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside me.

Xue Qingyou instantly returned to her usual expression. She turned her head sharply and saw an old man in a plain robe with a haggard face appear beside her at some point.

After seeing the old man's face, Xue Qingyou bowed and said, "Greetings, Grand Elder."

The old man in white robe who appeared silently beside Xue Qingyou was none other than Xue Hongguang, the Supreme Elder of the Ten Realms who had been guarding the ancestral temple for many years and was elusive.

Xue Hongguang waved his hand slightly, his expression calm: "No thanks, no thanks, Qingyou girl, you are now a sword hunter, you don't need to bow even when you meet us old guys."

Xue Qingyou shook her head slightly: "When my father was alive, he once said that the Grand Elder had been very helpful to him, and told me that I must not forget your kindness."

Xue Hongguang was speechless after hearing this: "Did Wuya tell you this?"

He shook his head and stopped discussing it: "Qingyou girl, what's wrong with you? You look listless."

Xue Qingyou hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the ancient long sword from the scabbard at her waist: "I have been refining this ancestral sword for several months, but I still lack a tacit understanding with it. I don't know why, so I want to come here to seek an opportunity."

Xue Hongguang smiled upon hearing this, and looked towards the ancient long sword. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have never seen such a situation before, and the previous sword hunters did not encounter such a problem..."

"Qingyou girl, wait here. I'll go back and look through the classics to see if I can find a solution."

After saying this, he disappeared.

Xue Qingyou stood in front of the Ten Thousand Swords Pond for a moment, and suddenly she had an epiphany. Then she sat down cross-legged, placed the ancient long sword on her knees, closed her eyes and began to refine the ancestral sword again.

Chapter 146 I'll take a nap first

The space in this ruin was eerily quiet. Yin You walked for a long time holding his master's hand, but did not see any signs of biological activity.

In the dead silence of the ruins, only the occasional footsteps of the master and his disciple could be heard.

"Master, this place is very strange."

As Yin You walked, he said, "We have been walking for such a long time, and we haven't even seen a single living being, let alone our uncle and his friends."

Yin Ci replied softly: "Well, although there are no living creatures here, the spiritual energy is extremely rich."

Generally speaking, there will always be living creatures in places with rich spiritual energy. Especially after being bathed in spiritual energy for many years, some creatures will even develop spiritual intelligence and embark on the path of spiritual practice.

But although the spiritual energy in this ruined space is abnormally rich, even not inferior to the Flower City after being baptized by Xunmu's spiritual energy light rain, there is no living creature present. This is obviously very unreasonable.

You must know that even if a dominant beast occupies an area of ​​spiritual energy, there will still be some weak creatures absorbing the meager spiritual energy.

Yin Ci frowned slightly: "Also, the spiritual energy here may seem calm on the surface, but it is actually turbulent. It is not like normal spiritual energy at all."

Yin You looked a little strange: "I don't know if it's my disciple's illusion, but I feel like something terrible is about to happen in this place."

For some reason, the longer he stayed in these ruins, the stronger the sense of déjà vu became in Yin You's heart, and his heartbeat even subconsciously quickened.

Yin Ci quickly noticed the strangeness of the young man beside her. She quietly held Yin You's hand tightly and said softly:

"Don't worry, Master is here."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with some kind of mysterious magic that soothed the inexplicable tension in Yin You's heart.

"Ah."

Yin You's eyes regained clarity, he held his master's hand tightly, and continued walking forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the master and the disciple suddenly stopped at the same time.

The sky is dark.

In just a few breaths, the two people's vision was completely plunged into endless darkness.

"Be careful."

A dark purple spiritual shield instantly rose from Yin Ci's body, covering her and Yin You.

Almost at the moment when the spiritual energy shield rose, a scarlet light suddenly appeared and hit the spiritual energy barrier hard.

The spiritual shield swayed slightly, and then a stream of spiritual energy emerged and transformed into an arm, with five fingers spread out to grab the scarlet light.

But before the spiritual arm could get close, the scarlet light disappeared in vain.

next moment.

In the darkness outside the spiritual shield, countless scarlet lights lit up one after another, followed by the strange, piercing and hoarse roar of some creature.

Yin Ci tried to extend his spiritual thoughts out of the spiritual shield, but the moment they left the shield, they were completely swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

Obviously this method doesn't work.

At this time, the outside of the aura shield was already surrounded by scarlet light. Those were the eyes of some creatures hiding in the darkness. They stared coldly at the master and disciple inside the aura shield with their emotionless scarlet pupils.

After seeing these scarlet lights, Yin You's consciousness suddenly shook, and he felt that somewhere deep in his mind was opened, and countless fragments of memory came pouring in.

"You'er!"

Yin Ci sensed something was wrong with Yin You and quickly pulled him to his side: "What's wrong with you?"

Yin You shook his head vigorously and replied, "I'm fine."

After wolfing down those memory fragments, Yin You looked at the scarlet light again, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes: "Master, be careful, these are crack creatures."

"Crack creature?"

Yin Ci muttered to herself, and felt that these words were somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly said, "A creature wandering in the cracks outside the void?"

With that said, Yin Ci roughly guessed what the boundless darkness outside the spiritual shield was:

“Is this the Breath of Nirvana?”

Yin You nodded upon hearing this: "That should be it."

According to ancient records, outside the Five Realms is a vast and dangerous world filled with a dark substance called the Breath of Nirvana.

This breath of annihilation is extremely harmful to cultivators. It can corrode not only the body but also the soul. Even the invincible cultivator in the ninth realm can only hold on to the breath of annihilation for a short while.

What is more dangerous than the Breath of Nirvana is the crack creatures that live in the Breath of Nirvana.

The creatures in the cracks have no intelligence, but are born with powerful special powers. They wander outside the void, hunting those creatures who dare to step into the breath of annihilation.

Yin Ci only had a vague impression of these things. After all, over countless years, very few cultivators would give up ascending to become immortals, and choose to forcibly break through the constraints of heaven and earth, leaving the five realms of heaven and earth to explore the unknown world.

Now that he knew the true identity of the creature in front of him, Yin Ci's thoughts raced, and he thought of another thing: "Have we left the Five Realms and come to the outside of the void?"

Upon hearing this, Yin You shook his head: "No, we are still in the Five Realms World."

He rubbed his brows, trying to suppress the severe pain in his head due to the influx of a large number of memory fragments: "Although we don't know where we are now, we are definitely not out of the range of the Five Realms World."

Yin Ci looked at Yin You who was frowning slightly. Even though he tried hard to suppress his expression and there was no trace of strangeness on his face, Yin Ci could still tell at a glance that something was wrong with him at the moment.

"You'er, lie down first."

Yin Ci first took out a blanket from the storage ring and placed it on the ground, then gently helped Yin You onto the blanket.

Then Yin Ci knelt on the blanket and placed Yin You's head on her knees. After adjusting it to a comfortable position, she raised her hand and placed it on Yin You's forehead, performing a secret method to calm the mind.

A gentle spiritual force flowed into Yin You's mind along Yin Ci's cold jade hand, relieving his pain.

"call……"

Yin You, whose face became even paler, forced his eyelids open, looked up at his master, and said the news he had just digested the memory fragments:

"Master, we just need to wait here for a while, and those annihilation breaths and crack creatures will disperse on their own. Then we will be safe."

"Don't worry about the Breath of Nirvana for now."

Yin Ci's face was solemn, with deep worry in his eyes: "You'er, why is your soul so weak? Could it be that the evil spirit in your body has not been completely eliminated?"

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Although Yin You appeared normal from the beginning, Yin Ci discovered when he probed his divine sense into his body that his body and soul were extremely weak, as if he was a mortal who had just suffered a serious illness.

"Um... Master... what did you... say?"

Perhaps it was because the power of the master's soul was too gentle, making Yin You a little drowsy. The figure in his sight gradually blurred without him noticing, and the voice in his ear became farther and farther away and smaller:

"I'm so sleepy, Master... I'll take a nap first..."

Chapter 147 Dream

In the dream, countless memory scenes flashed through Yin You’s mind at high speed.

Yin You, whose consciousness was still in a fuzzy state, subconsciously concentrated his mind, trying to see the pictures clearly, but he could only see some fragments at most. Most of the pictures were still blurry and he couldn't make out any meaning at all.

Moreover, as time went by, the speed of these memory images moved faster and faster, making Yin You dizzy and he had no idea where to look.

As if disturbed by the memory scene, Yin You's mind began to ache again. Unable to bear the pain, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the memory scene in front of him.

It was as if he had grabbed something soft. Before Yin You had time to feel it, he heard a "bang", like the sound of a mirror breaking in his ears.

The moment that voice sounded, the memory scene that was flashing by at high speed suddenly paused, stopping in front of a misty scene of the lake, and then the entire memory scene turned into spots of light and disappeared.

The severe pain in his mind quietly subsided, and Yin You slowly opened his eyes.

The golden sunlight shines through the sea of ​​clouds onto a mysterious and hazy mist like a milky white veil. A few koi fish swim in the lake, creating ripples.

A breeze blows, bringing a cool feeling to my body.

Only then did Yin You realize that he had come to a lake shrouded in mist.

Recalling the scene he had just seen in the last memory frame, Yin You was thoughtful:

"Illusion?"

He took a deep breath, and the fresh air of the morning after the rain rushed into his chest through his nose. Everything seemed so real, not like an illusion at all.

Yin You took a step forward, stepped on the green grass covered with dew, and walked to the shore of the lake.

He squatted down and put his hand into the lake water. The cool touch penetrated his skin, like a stream of clear spring flowing through his heart.

"What is the meaning of this memory fantasy?"

Yin You fell into deep thought. What information did this memory illusion want to tell him?

This sudden appearance of memory fragments could not have brought him here for no reason. There must be some unknown information hidden in it.

Just as Yin You was thinking about the purpose of this memory fragment bringing him to this illusion, the clear blue sky at the end of the horizon, which was not blocked by clouds, suddenly cracked, revealing the chaotic world behind the void.

Yin You sensed the turbulence in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and immediately looked up, just in time to see the horrifying scene of the sky cracking.

"That is--"

boom! ! !

A harsh roar sounded.
