Yuhe Immortal has been worried about Xia Qiu since he parted with her in the realm of soul separation. He would come near the dock to wait for Xia Qiu almost at the same time every day. Then he would go into the dense forest and secretly observe the movements of the white bats.
A few days ago, white bats broke into the tree house he had taken Xia Qiu to. Their target was undoubtedly Xia Qiu, but they naturally returned disappointed. They are so persistent in trying to capture a human girl. In addition to attracting more attention from Yuhe Sennin than before, they also make him feel scared. He has an increasingly strong premonition that the answer to everything may be related to his past. .
As for why he had such an idea? The tree house he built at the junction of the dense forest and the valley is very hidden. Unless someone is familiar with his habits and way of thinking, it will not be easy to find this place in such a short time. All signs made him more and more certain that the mysterious figure behind the scenes controlling the white bats was Heihe who had fallen from the divine realm, and this was precisely the outcome he was least willing to accept.
With the help of Xia Qiu and her friends, although he found part of his memory, there were still many gaps in his memory that could not be connected. Especially regarding Heihe, rather than saying that those memories have become blurred or fragmented, it is better to say that they seem to be drowned in darkness. As long as he tries to find it, the darkness seems to swallow him up.
He suddenly becomes timid, and even has the idea of not caring about these things anymore, but then he will fall into deep self-blame. He does not know that the reason for such negative thoughts is the darkness. The poison from Black Crane that had been in his body was also mixed with part of Black Crane's darkness, and this darkness was secretly hidden in his soul.
Now, although the poison has been detoxified by the dragon's blood, it still requires a battle with oneself to completely remove this dark seed from one's heart. While chatting with Elder Wan, he learned that the villagers had been kidnapped by the White Bat, and also learned how to reach the White Bat's base camp. In order to understand all the questions in his heart, he decided to go alone.
The night in the Soulless Realm is full of danger. Many soul predators will appear during this time. The most ferocious among them is a raptor similar to an owl. This kind of raptor is called a kelp. They have dark gray feathers and a wingspan of up to three meters. Their powerful claws can easily catch souls. Feather Crane Immortal tried his best to avoid the areas where they appeared most often, but he still encountered one of them unexpectedly.
By the time he discovered the big bird, he had already entered its hunting range. If he forced and quickly escaped in the opposite direction at this time, it would definitely chase him hard, and might even summon his companions to start a fight. Hunting game. So he had no choice but to take a gamble and see what would happen if he chose not to escape, but just passed it by.
He adjusted his breathing and flew past the monster steadily at exactly the same speed as before. Unexpectedly, nothing happened. He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised at his luck. After flying forward for some distance, the barrier that Wan mentioned appeared in front of them. The base camp of the white bat was under the barrier. This barrier was mainly used to block raptors like crocodiles, and had no effect on Yuhe Sage. What made him feel uncomfortable was that this base camp belonging to the monsters seemed to open the door to welcome him.
The base camp is composed of countless tree houses built on trees, and these trees are connected by suspension bridges to form a huge group of tree houses. In Yu Hexianren's impression, monsters like white bats should live in damp and dark caves or tree holes. They are really not suitable for these beautiful tree houses. On several highest points in the tree house, observation towers were built to observe the surrounding situation, and white bats stood guard on each of them.
Yu Hexian knew that if he continued to fly, it would be difficult to avoid their eyes and ears, so he gave up moving at high altitudes and switched to walking on the ground. Because there are tree houses and branches and leaves on the ground, it is much more hidden.
Walking among the layers of tree shadows, Yu Heshengren felt nervous in his heart, but for some reason he also felt a little excited. Maybe it was because he might be about to reveal the answer to his past. He really wanted to face the black crane who made him fall into the demon world. In his memory, there were still some memories of when they were childhood partners. As for how they turned against each other, he couldn't remember at all.
He and Heihe were brought into the divine realm by the god Gansu at a very similar time, so they naturally became close. Black Crane is just the opposite of his personality. He likes thrills and excitement, and always wants to do everything he can to be the focus of everyone's attention. However, Yu He, who was once a white crane spiritual beast, prefers to hide low-key among lotus leaves and stay away from others. Other cranes swam quietly and slowly in the pond.
After the god Qiansu brought them into the divine realm, they had not been to the lotus pond for a long time. Heihe gradually lost the desire to express himself and even became lazy. Sometimes he simply stayed in a corner on the shore for the whole day. He was nowhere to be seen.
But the white crane is still the same as before, still shuttling silently among the lotus flowers, letting the green lotus leaves, the pool water, and the tender pink lotus flowers set off its white feathers, printing a figure similar to itself on the lake. Yes, but a very vague shadow.
Even though many memories are no longer coherent, the strange thing is that he still remembers very clearly the situation when he and the god Gansu met again in the lotus pond that day. That day, the god Gansu was wearing the white cotton and linen clothes he wore longest in the divine realm. His long hair was tied up casually with a golden ribbon and placed on his chest. He cast his deep gaze on the lake, but it didn't seem like he was looking at anything until he met Bai He's gaze. Bai He caught a hint of melancholy in his eyes, which was an emotion that should not belong to the Lord of God's Domain, so he decided to dance for him.
He flapped his wings gently and flew up a little, and then started dancing on the lake. Stepping on the green lake water, it kept spinning and jumping lightly. For him, it was an innate dance step, but the god Gansu could see it and was deeply attracted by his dance. Later, he would come to the lotus pond from time to time to watch him dance, and would share with him some interesting things happening in the Three Realms.
But at the same time, Black Crane was getting further and further away from White Crane, and he almost disappeared from his sight. Bai He didn't know whether he was avoiding him intentionally or whether he had made new playmates. Later one night, when White Crane accidentally swam to a side of the pond that he rarely swam to, he discovered Black Crane, and the person next to him looked very strange.
The man was very tall, but had sculpture-like facial features. The most impressive thing was his frosty face. Judging from his exquisite accessories and luxurious clothes, he should have a considerable status in the divine realm. Heihe always met that person at night, but that person always looked at him with an unchanging expression, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.
Yu Hexianren fell into memories unknowingly and ignored the movements around him. Countless black shadows suddenly flew over his head. Just as he was about to look up, several white bats landed beside him. They quickly dispersed and surrounded him.
He knew that these monsters had not yet had time to notify their companions, at least he had not heard the harsh buzzing sound similar to ultrasonic waves from them. If he didn't want to be completely exposed immediately, he had to try his best to kill the enemy in front of him with one strike, which was not easy for him who didn't often fight.
The long dagger had already materialized in his sleeve. He took a deep breath, held the dagger tighter, and rushed out. His body formed a curve to attack, his movements were done in one go, without giving himself or his opponent any time to react, and he eliminated several white bats surrounding him in the blink of an eye. From the last time he fought with these monsters to rescue Xia Qiu, he felt that there was a certain difference between fighting in the realm of soul separation and reality. He relied more on spiritual power, which happened to be what he was good at. of.
He zeroed in on the largest treehouse overhead, at the center of all the treehouses, which looked most like where the manipulator of the white bats might be. But before he reached the tree house, he heard a low and painful groan, so he decided to check it out first.
A cage hanging on a tree came into the sight of Yu Hexian. Lying in the cage was a big-headed ghost who had been tortured to a state of disgrace. The moan was made by him. As for why it was so low, it was because he His mouth was gagged with a ball of rags.
"Hey..." Yuhe Immortal called in a low voice.
The big-headed ghost squinted one of his eyes, and suddenly a light appeared in his eyes, but his mouth was still speechless because of the cloth stuffed in it, and he could only make a hum sound.
"Wait!" Immortal Yuhe found the locked place in the cage, concentrated his spiritual power and used a long dagger to cut off the lock, got into the cage and dragged the big-headed ghost out, and carried his body and flew to ground. He pulled the rag out of the big-headed ghost's mouth and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Dafu. I was supposed to board the soul-saving ship and go to the boundless heaven, but I was caught by these monsters. They used me to threaten my brother to provide them with information. Later, my brother seemed to be exposed, and they started torturing me. Me, if you hadn't appeared, I might have been executed tomorrow." The big-headed ghost's voice still sounded weak.
"Have you ever seen the person who controls these white bats?" Yu Hexian continued to ask.
"I haven't seen his face clearly, I just think he is a terrible person!"
When the big-headed ghost talked about this person, his whole face showed a look of horror.
"You just said your brother... where is he now?"
"He should have reached the Infinite Heaven Realm. They asked him to obtain information from a person named Ouyang Xueye."
"Oops!" Yuhe Immortal had an ominous premonition. When the big-headed ghost said it, it seemed that the power of the man who controlled the white bat had extended to the boundless heaven, so Xia Qiu was likely to encounter danger there, " You wait here for a while, I need to figure out something!"
"Please don't leave me here alone..." The big-headed ghost shook his head and begged. It was obvious that those monsters had seriously stimulated his spirit.
"I will definitely come back. You hide in the bushes and don't make any sound."
Feather Crane Sage had made up his mind. After helping the big-headed ghost hide, he turned around and flew towards the tree house in the center.
