At this moment, she was alone, standing in this mountain and river that seemed to have been plowed by immortals, feeling at a loss as to what to do.
She didn't know what had happened.
As she walked along, she saw the winding gorge and the Goddess Peak across the river.
The war was over, but the Twelve Peaks of Wu Gorge did not collapse.
This also meant that the sect leader was unable to return, and the Shen Ting Sect was destroyed before its great cause was accomplished.
She knelt down by the river, folded her arms around her chest, and burst into tears.
She no longer knew why she was crying. Was it because the people around her were saved, or because the Shenting Sect was destroyed because of her betrayal
Why is she the only one alive here when everyone else is dead
The moon tonight is exceptionally round, and the moonlight is bright and dreamy.
Having lived in the misty Wu Gorge for many years, this was the first time she saw such a bright moonlight.
The moonlight was like a veil, gently covering the sparkling river water and the Goddess Peak opposite.
The goddess on the peak stands in the moonlight, with a unique beauty.
Under the gaze of the goddess, she stood up, wiped away her tears, and dragged her scarred body along the rugged mountain road to the riverside, taking turns walking.
She no longer knew where she should go or where she could go.
She no longer has a home or a place to live.
She didn't have the face to continue living as a disciple of the Shenting Sect, and no one would remember her.
She walked alone under the moon, and she didn't know where to go.
But she was still alive... She could only keep going.
—
Shi Hao and his group first met up with the mountain ghosts who were hiding far away.
"It's over!" Sha Lingshan told them, "Those Taoists are dead, and they can no longer do evil."
For these mountain ghosts, most of their homes were destroyed.
The large tracts of forest around them were also destroyed, and their lives would be extremely difficult in the days ahead.
Despite this, the white-bearded old man still took those mountain ghosts and thanked them sincerely.
"As long as the spiritual energy here is still there, these can all be restored," said the white-bearded old man. "Although it will be very hard, as long as we are alive, there is hope. I believe it won't be long before this place can return to its former green and shady scene. I thank you all on their behalf."
Sha Ling fanned herself and smiled, "No need to be so polite, we just happened to meet by chance."
They didn't stay here for long and left quickly.
They returned all the way back to Ningzhen Temple at the foot of Denglong Peak. It was already dawn.
Shi Hao really couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked the abbot to arrange a room for him. After eating something, he fell into a deep sleep.
Hou Bomin and Xianggu did not know the origins of Sha Lingshan, Meihua Niangzi and Taohua Niangzi, and they heard them call Shi Hao "Young Master".
They witnessed with their own eyes last night that Shi Hao flew into the sky under the full moon, and then displayed his divine power and completely defeated the Son of God Yi. They knew that Shi Hao must have an extraordinary origin.
This female temple did not ask many questions to their group. The girl in gauze could even issue orders directly to the temple owner. It was obvious that this female temple was not simple.
But they did not try to investigate the hidden truth. Who in the world doesn't have some secrets
After a fierce battle last night, everyone was exhausted.
So, quickly, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
After Sha Lingshan had washed up in the west wing, the temple master Yuan Rong suddenly came over and bowed to her, saying, "Master, Miss Longniu is here!"
Sha Lingshan was a little stunned, but then she thought, Long Niu was in charge of the intelligence work of the Xie Lian Sect, and she must have something important to tell her since she came here in a hurry.
She fanned herself and said, "Please invite her here."
After a while, Yuan Rong brought Long Niu to the back and left.
Long Niu asked, "Master Shatan, is the young master here?"
Sha Lingshan said, "The young master had a fierce battle near the teaching platform last night. He is exhausted and is resting. Do you want to wake him up now?"
Long Niu said: "Since the young master is still resting, I am not in a hurry to disturb him. I will wait until he wakes up."
Sha Lingshan asked, "You came here at this time, is there something important?"
Long Niu whispered, "The Retired Emperor of the Man Court, Lie Zunyi, has left the capital."
Sha Ling was moved: "Are you sure?"
Long Niu said, "This happened yesterday. As soon as our people got the news, they immediately passed it on using our sect's unique secret method. I believe it won't be long before this matter becomes a sensation throughout the world."
Sha Lingshan frowned, "Lie Zunyi hasn't appeared in public for more than ten years. The only time he took action was eight years ago, when the 'Sword King' Zhao Gucheng was assassinating the Emperor of Man Ting in the capital. He attacked Zhao Gucheng from a distance and severely injured him.
"After all, he is over 300 years old. He has not appeared for so many years. Everyone is speculating that he is very old. Now he suddenly appears and leaves the capital. What is he doing?"
Long Niu said: "The Man Court nominally announced to the world that the country was in chaos, bandits were everywhere, and the emperor was on tour on behalf of the emperor to show the power and virtue of the court. But everyone knows that it is probably not that simple. In fact, although Lie Zunyi severely injured Zhao Gucheng with one blow, Zhao Gucheng assassinated the emperor of the Man Court. After being seriously injured, he was able to successfully escape from the capital."
"Although the world was shocked by the amazing strength of Lie Zunyi who severely injured the top-grade master of the Sword King with one strike, everyone was wondering why there was no second or third strike? To assassinate the Barbarian Emperor in a place like the capital and to be able to successfully escape from the capital is also a great loss of face for the Barbarian Court."
Sha Lingshan sighed softly, "It is precisely because of this speculation that more and more people in the martial arts world are rebelling against the Barbarian Court. But if Lie Zunyi can still leave the capital and patrol the country, the heroes from all over the country will inevitably make all kinds of speculations, and the momentum of resisting the Barbarians will inevitably be suppressed."
Long Niu said, "There is another thing. Our spies in the capital have found out that Lie Zunyi's route for this tour is from the capital to Cangzhou, Dezhou, Handan, and then all the way to Xuzhou. This is exactly the route of the Grand Canal that the Barbarian Court is building. The young master once asked us to secretly find out whether the Barbarian Court is hiding any secrets in the construction of the Grand Canal despite the turmoil in the world."
"I am not too sure about this, so I came here specially to report this matter to the young master."
Sha Lingshan placed the round fan lightly on her chest and made a soft "hmm" sound.
This matter is indeed of great importance. Logically speaking, it is better to tell the young master as soon as possible.
It's just that the young master is obviously overly tired. Although this matter is of great importance, it seems that a few hours are not a big deal.
Therefore, she was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should wake up the young master specifically for this matter.
She said, "Forget it, let's go to the young master and see. If the young master is already asleep, we won't disturb him. If he is still awake, we will report this matter and see what he wants to do."
Long Niu followed Sha Ling's fan out of the west wing and walked deeper into the back garden. On the way, she unexpectedly saw Lady Plum Blossom and Lady Peach Blossom coming towards her.
These two people had obviously just taken a bath, with their hair loose, their skin moist, their cheeks rosy, and each of them was beautiful in their own way.
Sha Ling fanned herself and said with a smile: "You two, why are you running here instead of taking a rest?"
Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom hurriedly said, "Girl!" But they both looked a little embarrassed.
Sha Lingshan asked, "You two haven't said anything yet, what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Meihua said: "This..."
Madam Taohua stammered, "We, we just came to see if the young master needs anything."
Sha Lingshan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you think the young master needs you two to do? To sleep with him?"
Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom said hurriedly, "Miss, you are joking. Let's... let's go take a rest." Then they ran away in a hurry.
Sha Lingshan turned around to look at their shyly fleeing backs and said unhappily, "Alas!"
Long Niu turned around and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Sha Lingshan smiled and said, "Last night, when the two of them were about to be doomed at the critical moment of life and death, it was the young master who turned back and rushed down to help them lead away the powerful enemy. These two women are in the Demon Sect, and probably no man has ever treated them so well before. Now that they have nothing to do, they can't help but be in heat."
"Looking at them like this, I wonder if they were rejected by the young master or kicked out by someone."
As they continued walking forward with Longniu, they suddenly saw a young girl with a sword on her waist in front of Shi Hao's door on the other side of the yard, looking at them coldly.
Sha Lingshan turned around, pulled Longniu with her and left: "There is no rush anyway, let's wait for the young master to get up by himself!"
Chapter 222 Divine Crystal "Thunder Lord"
The girl in a colorful skirt with a sword on her waist looked coldly at the two people who turned and left, and snorted.
He turned around and went into the house, closed and locked the door, and got on the couch.
At this moment, Shi Hao was sleeping on the couch.
The girl took off her outer clothes, hung the sword on the edge of the couch, slid into the bed, and looked at the young man's sleeping face sideways.
Each of those women had bad intentions towards her senior brother.
We must be on guard against them.
The young man's face was gentle and handsome.
She quietly snuggled into the young man's arms.
The young man who was sleeping felt the soft body in his arms. He looked at her drowsily, stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.
This gave the girl a greater sense of security.
These days, the girl has nightmares every night after falling asleep.
In the dream, it seemed as if someone kept repeating in her mind that men were not good and that no matter how deeply she loved or how much she gave, one day she would be abandoned.
The repetitive voice seemed to come from that old woman, or from an unknown other world.
The girl refused to believe such words, but deep down, she was uneasy about it.
Brother Shi will never give up on her! The girl thought so as she gently hugged his waist in his arms.
But I still couldn't fall asleep, for fear that once I fell asleep, he would have disappeared when I woke up.
Shi Hao slept for several hours. After waking up, the feeling of tiredness and exhaustion had just dissipated a little.
Looking at the pretty girl who had been looking up at him for who knows how long, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
In his arms, the girl shook her head.
The dim yellow light covered the window panes of the sarong, and the sky outside was a little dim.
Before I knew it, I had slept for the entire day.
When he had nothing to do, Shi Hao bullied her severely again, using many different tricks.
He had a strange feeling that the more he bullied her, the more at ease she felt.
At the table next to her, the emerald beauty who had been hiding in the dark was once again stunned.
—
After the exercise, it was already dark.
Leave the girl who was tortured to satisfaction by him here and let her have a good rest.
When Shi Hao got outside, he quickly learned that Long Niu had arrived at Wu Gorge, so he asked Sha Lingshan to bring her over.
The side hall of Ningzhen Temple was shrouded in candlelight.
Outside the palace gate, the moon rose early. The full moon was still bright tonight, and the moonlight was like water, covering the earth.
"Young Master!" Long Niu, who was wearing a plain red dress and was short in stature, bowed down in front of the young master.
Shi Hao knew that she was born in the Black Lotus Realm. Among the three evil lotus sects, the Black Lotus Realm and the Moon Lotus Tower had more rules than the Mirror Flower and Water Moon Pavilion.
Among them, the rules of the Black Lotus Realm are the most complicated. Long Niu, who was born in the Black Lotus Realm, is inevitably affected by it.
As for the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion, the atmosphere seems much more relaxed under the guidance of the always loose gauze diamond fan.
"Stand up and talk!" Shi Hao said. His voice was gentle, but he also made himself look more dignified in his demeanor.
Long Niu stood up and told the story that the retired emperor of Man Ting went out of the capital for an inspection tour and that the route he took was the Grand Canal.
After unifying the three sects, Shi Hao first asked them to pay attention to the construction of the Grand Canal by the Barbarian Court.
He also informed the Dark Thunder Society of this matter, but the Dark Thunder Society has now been disbanded, and he is not sure whether the "Sword King" had made any other arrangements before disbanding the Dark Thunder Society.
He pondered for a while and asked, "After the Fairy Yuncaiyao from Taisu Xian Pavilion appeared in Daxing City, did she take any other actions?"
Long Niu shook her head and said, "Although there are many rumors about her in the martial arts world, most of them cannot be confirmed. Instead, many 'unorthodox sects' are connected to each other, and a 'Taoist sect' has emerged that is separated from Chongxian Sect and is secretly hostile to the Barbarian Court."
Sha Ling fanned aside and said, "There are many Taoist sects in the martial arts world. Just because they are unwilling to worship the immortal sect as the 'orthodox', they are forcibly defined as unorthodox by the Barbarian Court. However, in the minds of the lower-level martial artists, they are actually the real 'white way'."
"But these 'White Paths' used to be a loose group without a leader, and were often forced to hide from place to place, falling into the same situation as our Demon Sect. If someone could gather them together, they would be a considerable force."
"But it is not easy for ordinary people to lead the White Path. Only the 'Fairy' of Taisu Fairy Pavilion can do this easily."
Shi Hao nodded slowly. The Demon Sect had been feared like a tiger by the martial artists for thousands of years, yet it had been able to be passed down.
Although the "White Way" has been deeply suppressed by the Chongxian Sect and the Liushen Sect in the past three hundred years, it still has many sympathizers in the world. Although it is a loose group, it is actually a considerable force when scattered everywhere.
