The entire demon world suddenly fell into darkness, and the frequency of the earth's shaking became more and more intensive.
The snowy night and evil spirit in Qingyun's body had been drained away. His body and the Tiger Roaring Sword in his hand turned into loess, suddenly collapsed and dissipated in the air.
"I must go back quickly to check on the situation in Chenji Palace!" Ouyang Xiaoleng was very concerned about what Qingyun said before he died, and judging from the changes in the surrounding environment, it was not as simple as what he said casually.
"Well, I'll go with you!" Xia Qiu patted Xiao Libai beside her and replied.
Although it seems to have recovered a lot, it is still a little weak. But despite this, it still lowered its body, wanting Xia Qiu to ride on its back. But just this one move almost caused it to fall.
"Its body has been invaded by Qingyun's evil spirit, and it can't recover so quickly!" Ouyang Xiaoleng looked at Xiaolibai's condition and said.
At this time, suddenly a black figure dodged left and right, approaching them through the cracking earth.
"It's Hei Yun!" Xia Qiu recognized at a glance that the huge black wolf was exactly what Hei Yun had transformed into.
Hei Yun had just started a fierce battle with Ouyang Hongye and the others against the Vine Demon. Just as their battle ended, news came out that the God Lord in Chenji Palace was bleeding. Although the two elders Ouyang Yong and Shi Wangcheng had tried their best to temporarily suppress the Lord of God with their own demonic powers, the two old men were already exhausted by this time.
"The blood dripping from the divine pillar and the growth of poisonous ivy vines have caused a chain reaction. While the entire demon world is shaking, the labyrinth connecting the demon world and the human world is also being destroyed. I'm afraid it won't last long." Heiyun conveyed the news to Xia Qiu. and Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Wait a minute, what does the destruction of the labyrinth mean?" Xia Qiu's brain was still stuck in the fierce battle between himself, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qingyun, and he did not accept the central meaning of Black Meteor at all.
"It means you may never be able to return to the human world." Ouyang Xiaoleng said this to himself, feeling that every word was like a heavy blow to his heart.
He had to make a choice. If he wanted Xia Qiu to return to his world, now might be the last chance. But if he let her stay, no one could say when the lost path to the world would be restored. He couldn't be so selfish and let her stay here just because of his reluctance. There were still her relatives and friends in the world.
The most important thing is that there is something called the future, and he can no longer see clearly the future of the demon world.
He made up his mind and said: "Hei Yun, please! Send Xia Qiu back to the world!"
"But..." Hei Yun didn't know what to do.
"Don't hesitate, this is an order!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said with dignity as the Demon King Fox.
Xia Qiu just stood there and shook her head. Suddenly she felt so powerless. Although she and Ouyang Xiaoleng got rid of the demon Qingyun, they failed to prevent the destruction of the demon world. And now, he has even decided to break up with her.
"I want to stay," she pleaded, holding one of Ouyang Xiaoleng's hands.
His hands were as cold as ever. It was hard to find a trace of tenderness in his eyes. He had made up his mind and would not allow anyone to deny it.
"I can't selfishly let you stay, just like you can't selfishly abandon your family. As the master of the demon world, I must live and die with the demon world. And you will welcome your future in your own world."
After Ouyang Xiaoleng said that, he hugged Xia Qiu hard and refused to let her go, no matter how she cried or struggled.
He held her on Hei Yun's back, gently stroked the cracks on her face, and placed his own kiss on her twitching lips.
"Go quickly, don't look back! It's up to you, Hei Yun!" He said to Hei Yun.
"Yes!" After Hei Yuan answered, he turned around and ran towards the two long corridors.
It seemed like he was running so fast for the first time, making Xia Qiu's cries disappear in the air. Jumping back and forth between the cracked earth and poisonous plants, trying to avoid even the slightest danger, ensuring that Xia Qiu is returned to the human world safely.
The royal city has been overgrown with poisonous weeds, and all streets and houses have been severely damaged. It is even impossible to find where the Chenji Palace is. The Manzhu Shahua on the edge of the two corridors was also destroyed, and the two flower demon sisters became prisoners of the poisonous loam. Their delicate bodies were bound by poisonous loam, leaving traces of blood.
"The day has finally arrived, Manzhu!"
"Yes, Shahua!"
"We sisters can finally depend on each other for life and death!"
"Before they die, let them taste our power!"
"I think so too!"
The two sisters struggled to break away from the shackles of the poisonous loam, slowly brought their hands closer and held each other tightly. They sang songs as melodious as nursery rhymes, and used their own demonic powers to light red demonic fires.
The sparks burst out from the ground that had been occupied by poisonous ivy, and their roots were still underground, spreading bit by bit. The ignited poisonous plants kept twisting in the flames, as if they were dancing to their songs.
Their singing became louder and louder, with smiles on their faces until they were completely engulfed in flames.
The two long corridors have almost collapsed. After the columns were broken, the entire top of the corridor collapsed. While Hei Yun was struggling to find a gap that he could pass through, he was also wary of the stones that were still falling.
Just as they were approaching the end of the corridor, suddenly the entire corridor split open in the middle, and a huge gap appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"Hei Yun, go back! We can't make it!" Xia Qiu seemed to see some hope of staying. She thought maybe this was God's will.
"Since I have become a subordinate of the Demon King Fox, I must fulfill his orders even if I risk my life." However, Hei Yun was unmoved by Xia Qiu's words.
He gathered all his remaining strength and leaped towards the corridor at the other end of the crack. This kind of jumping is different from flying. He must accurately drill into the two half-length corridors.
Xia Qiu knew that there was really no chance to look back this time, and she couldn't help but close her eyes. Regardless of whether Hei Yun succeeded or not, she and Ouyang Xiaoleng would face separation.
She didn't even have time to celebrate with him the joy of defeating her old enemy Qingyun. There were still so many things she wanted to say to him in her heart. She always thought that after the war, she would have a lot of time to do these things, but everything turned out to be the opposite.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was already in the courtyard of Ouyang's ancient house. Hei Yun lay on the ground and panted heavily. Only then did she realize that there were actually many scars on his body, and the toxins contained in the poisonous apples had probably invaded his blood. He had to endure these to send himself back.
Dong Muya and Min Entong ran over, followed by Liu Lingmei, Du He and Dong Haofan. Their faces were full of anticipation, but Xia Qiu didn't know how to tell them the ins and outs of everything.
"Check his injuries first!" Dong Muya saw that Xia Qiu was hesitant to speak, so she turned to Hei Yun and started checking him.
The results of the examination were not optimistic. Although Min En found a way to detoxify the poison, the effects of the poison on the nerves could only be cured by returning to the demon world. Due to its excessive physical weakness, it could no longer maintain the form of a human or a giant black wolf, so it had to transform into a medium-sized black dog.
Xia Qiu told Dong Muya and others about the battle with Qingyun, as well as the blood of Poison Luo and the Lord of God, etc. Her expressive ability has always been good, but this time her words were illogical. It was very painful for her to recall the experience of separation from Ouyang Xiaoleng again, and she knew that this pain would always be with her.
The same pain as her was Dong Muya. She and Ouyang Hongye finally had to unite. They thought that after the war was over, the two of them would be able to always be by each other's side. Who would have thought that it would be so cruel first
After that, Xia Qiu tried many times to enter the confusing path leading to the demon world, and even tried the confusing path hidden in Yongchuan Forest guided by the ghost slave countless times, but all failed.
She took the black dog transformed by Hei Yun back home and named it "Xiao Hei". After a period of rest, high school life began again.
During this time, Ouyang Ancient House has undergone great changes. It used to be hidden in a barrier and ordinary people could not enter it, but now it has become an ordinary house on the edge of Yongchuan Forest.
Min Endong has been leading Liu Lingmei and the others, and continues to use the MM supercomputer terminal system to find the lost path to the demon world.
School life is getting busier and busier, but Xia Qiu knows that she actually wants to keep herself busy and not think about Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Hei Yun has never been able to return to his original form. Now he is like all puppies. In addition to being extremely interested in food and games, he spends most of his time finding a place to roll around at home.
Xia Qiu’s grandparents love Xiao Hei very much. Grandpa always takes him with him whether he is working in the yard or going fishing at the lake. Grandma specially prepares food suitable for Xiao Hei every day. Sometimes even Grandpa complains that Xiao Hei is more particular about his food than they are.
Time passed day by day, and for Xia Qiu, it was neither happy nor disappointed. She always believed that the lost path to the demon world would eventually appear, and that she and Ouyang Xiaoleng would one day meet again.
The happiest thing that happened in those days was probably the news that Dong Muya was pregnant. Her consciousness told her that she was pregnant with a daughter. And Xia Qiu also had a dream. In the dream, Dong Muya was holding a very cute little girl. Her little face was very similar to Ouyang Hongye, and she was as beautiful as an angel who had fallen into the world.
Dong Muya still serves as the class teacher of the summer and autumn classes. It will soon be time to divide arts and sciences. Her workload has also increased, and she will not have so much time to help Min Endong. But she still lives in Ouyang's ancient house and takes care of him in life.
