    “Host wake up, host -”

    Ji Hantong heard someone calling him in a daze.The voice was very familiar, like his stupid system.

    “Host! Host, wake up!”

    Ji Hantong’s consciousness gradually gathered, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was in a vast white space.There is no sky, no earth, just endless soft white light.There were two data streams floating in front of him.

    A small ball of light, shining with light blue, was trying its best to get in front of him – this was 0621.

    The other group is much larger, three or four times as big as 0621, with silvery white light flowing throughout the body. The data that makes up the body does not jump as frequently as 0621. It looks calm and restrained, very boss-like.

    Ji Hantong was stunned: “0621? You’re back!”

    0621’s data stream jumped happily a few times, with uncontrollable joy in his voice: “Host! Long time no see! I miss you!”

    Ji Hantong’s eyes turned red.He stretched out his hand to touch the small data stream, but his fingers passed through the light ball.

    0621 quickly manipulated the data on his body to wrap around Ji Hantong’s fingertips, and comforted: “Host, I am in the data state now and you can’t touch it, but you are the first host in history who can see me. Generally speaking, hosts cannot see the system.” Although I am the only host like you.

    Ji Hantong nodded vigorously, his eyes falling on the silver-white ball of light.

    “This is it?”

    The data flow of 0621 flashed, and his tone was somewhat solemn: “Host, let me introduce to you, this is my boss, the most promising one among our batch of systems, and is now the leader of the task team, System 1228.”

    The silver-white light group slowly approached, and the voice was calm and gentle, which was completely different from the liveliness of 0621: “Immortal Yuheng, I have admired you for a long time.”

    Ji Hantong was stunned and said quickly: “I don’t dare to take it…”

    System 1228 smiled lightly and went straight to the point without being too polite: “There are two main reasons for this rash visit.”

    Ji Hantong’s heart tightened and he quickly listened carefully.

    System 1228 continued: “The first thing is about your body.”

    “The body you have now is your original body in the modern world. It is just the body of an ordinary person without any cultivation. The world of cultivation you are now in is full of dangers, and it is too dangerous to walk in it as a mortal.”

    “What’s more -” System 1228 paused, with a hint of apology in his tone, “The reason for the current result is ultimately our mistake in quickly breaking through the game.”

    “As compensation, we have applied for two benefits from the Quick Travel Bureau. One is that the value of your body will be adjusted to the same as the previous body, which means that you still have the cultivation and longevity gained from hundreds of years of hard work in the world of cultivation. The second is as compensation, you can bring one person back to your original world for a month every ten years. The mission rewards given to you by the Quick Travel Bureau, such as the 100 million bonus, will still be retained for you.”

    “Because the second application did not meet the regulations, the approval process took a little longer. I am very sorry.”

    Ji Hantong was very surprised.

    In fact, Ji Hantong had already thought about the issue of lifespan from the moment he connected with Shen Lanchuan. In his current body, he could only live for a hundred and eighty years at most. Even if he had some treasures, it would be difficult for him to live as long as Shen Lanchuan.Although Shen Lanchuan never said it, judging from his recent clinginess, he must have thought about this.

    System 1228 continued: “The second thing is related to foul smell.”

    Ji Hantong looked a little more serious.

    “The reason why your cultivation world is unable to eliminate the evil spirit, you can only rely on some magic spells or heavenly materials and earthly treasures to seal and suppress it. The reason is because the evil spirit is a product from other worlds. Maybe you have heard of weirdness?”

    “??? What the hell?”

    “Xiu Qi is the original weird master of a spiritual energy resurrected world. He can also be called the ghost king. Unfortunately, the new ghost king Wu Su is very powerful and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. Xi Qi shrank after being forced to step down.”

    “Then how did he come to our world?” Ji Hantong asked.

    System 1228 said: “This is still a problem of fast travel.”

    “The dispatch system in the Quick Travel Bureau can be divided into two types. One is the mission system, which is like 0621 binding the host to complete the task and stabilize the small world. This kind of system is usually caused by some problems within the world. For example, like you and 0621, it is because the cultivation world directly sent YuhengThe character of Immortal Lord has been harmonized, so 0621 has bound you to carry out the task; the other is the monitoring system, which is usually when there is a problem with the peripheral barrier of the small world, such as a loophole or something. The monitoring system needs to detect and repair the gaps at any time to prevent any accidents.”

    “The Spiritual Energy Recovery World belongs to the second situation. The quick travel system is currently understaffed. The surveillance system of the Spiritual Energy Recovery World is a retired old system that was rehired. Maybe because of its old age, it has never been discovered that a guy took advantage of a gap to escape to other worlds.”

    “After the foul energy escaped to this world, it wanted to invade the world of cultivation. There are different dimensions between small worlds. The dimension of the world where the spiritual energy is revived is higher than that of your world of cultivation. The various spells in the world of cultivation have basically no effect on it. However, the previous great powers of your world of cultivation were not vegetarians. They forcibly split it into several parts and suppressed them individually.”

    “The core part of its brain was suppressed by Zichen Valley. The evil spirit is good at brainwashing. Shen Fu is greedy for life and afraid of death. It also allowed it to seize the opportunity and directly brainwashed Shen Fu into the most loyal dog. Step by step, it encroached on Duobao Pavilion and the Immortal League. The great elders of Qingyun Mountain and Lan Yue Sect were also brainwashed a little. However, Mo Wuyi of Lan Yue Sect suppressed those elders and did not participate in that incident.”

    Ji Hantong: “So that guy Shen Xuzhi is the original form of foul energy??? That’s really unlucky.”

    “That’s wrong,” Ji Hantong said doubtfully, “Even if I know this, why does Shen Xuzhi want to arrest me?”

    “We don’t know about this, but Immortal Yuheng,” System 1228 said, “he seems to have arrived at his destination.”

    *

    The next second, Ji Hantong’s consciousness disappeared from the white space.

    A pungent smell of blood rushed straight into his nose.He opened his eyes, and the sight he saw made Ji Hantong’s pupils suddenly shrink.

    This is a huge altar.The altar is round in shape and is made entirely of black boulders, engraved with complex dark red lines.

    And under the altar – there were densely packed corpses.

    Ji Hantong’s breathing stopped for a moment.Several hundred?Thousands of tools?He lost count.

    Bodies were lying around the altar, including men and women. They all looked like teenagers, and they were all wearing the clothes of the Immortal Alliance.

    Their faces all showed a strange blue-gray color, as if they had been drained of something.

    Ji Hantong’s hands and feet were cold, and he suddenly remembered the time when he gave a big lesson to a new disciple many years ago when he was still in the Taixuan Taoist Sect.

    During the break, the new disciples gathered together and chatted, talking about trivial things. Suddenly one disciple mentioned a strange thing.

    “I have a friend who is from a small sect in the Western Territory and has a good foundation. Last year when the Immortal Alliance came to select people, he was selected. I was quite happy for him, but he has never contacted me since he joined the Immortal Alliance.”

    “I also have a friend like this! We used to meet several times a year, but after he joined the Immortal League, I sent him a messenger and he never got a reply. I thought he didn’t want to talk to me anymore, but later I heard that the Immortal League doesn’t seem to allow disciples to come out casually…”

    “Yes, yes, that friend of mine is the same! When his family went to visit the Immortal League, they said they couldn’t see anyone and only asked him to come out with a few words. Isn’t it too strange?”

    At that time, Ji Hantong just listened without thinking much.The Immortal Alliance is the largest force in the world of cultivation, so it is normal for the rules to be stricter.

    But now——

    Ji Hantong looked at the corpses and the young faces, already guessing who they were.

    These are the disciples who have “lost contact”.Those disciples who were selected by the Immortal Alliance and never heard from again.

    They were all brought here and became sacrifices.

    “Are you awake?”

    A familiar voice came from behind, with that sickening, gentle smile.

    Ji Hantong turned back sharply.

    Shen Xuzhi was standing not far behind him, with the same gentle-looking but twisted face as before.He looked at Ji Hantong with a slight smile, with a kind of morbid appreciation in his eyes.

    “Immortal Yuheng, how do you feel?”

    Ji Hantong said nothing.He just stared coldly at the monster in human skin.

    Shen Xuzhi was not annoyed. He walked slowly to the edge of the altar and leaned over to look at the corpses, as if admiring some masterpiece.

    “One thousand, three hundred and seventy-two,” Shen Xuzhi said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, “it took decades to collect so many.”

    Ji Hantong’s hands clenched tightly.

    Shen Xuzhi walked up to Ji Hantong and looked at him condescendingly.His eyes were still gentle, but underneath that gentleness was a madness that chilled people’s bones.

    “Ji Hantong,” Shen Xuzhi called the name softly, as if he was tasting some delicious food, “you know what? You are really a miracle.”

    Ji Hantong said nothing.

    Shen Xuzhi continued talking to himself: “Back then, I originally planned to use the Chaos Immortal Bone as a material to reshape my body, but I didn’t expect you to mess it up in the middle. I watched you self-destruct and your soul was gone, without leaving even a trace of your soul.”

    “But you’re back again.”

    Shen Xuzhi’s eyes burst out with a fanatical light.

    “How can a person who has lost his soul be resurrected? Although you have no cultivation, there must be something extraordinary about your body.”

    Ji Hantong’s heart suddenly sank.

    Shen Xuzhi reached out and wanted to touch his face.

    Ji Hantong turned his head to avoid it as a conditioned reflex.

    Shen Xuzhi was not annoyed, he just took back his hand and smiled softly: “Don’t be afraid, I don’t mean to hurt you.”

    “I just want your body.”

    Ji Hantong’s face was full of disgust.

    Shen Xuzhi looked at his expression and smiled with satisfaction: “Did you guess it? Yes, I will take your body away.”

    “There must be something extraordinary about your current body. It just so happens that the body of this useless son Shen Fu is about to collapse. It’s time for me to change my body.”

    Shen Xuzhi took a few steps back, opened his arms and looked up at the altar, with an intoxicated look on his face.

    “When I take your body and study it carefully, I will become stronger. By then, let alone Shen Lanchuan, who in the entire world of cultivation can stop me?”

    “When did you find out I was back?” Ji Hantong asked.

    Hearing this, Shen Xuzhi seemed to think of something pleasant again and burst into laughter.

    “Hahahahahaha, I really have to thank Shen Lanchuan for not killing those three useless guys.”

    “Don’t you know? Shen Lanchuan imprisoned Shen Fu, Xu Jin’an and Su Zhaohe in a place called Blood Crossing the Cliff and tortured them every day. Those three people have my eyes on them. Some time ago, I imprisoned several demon cultivators, who happened to be the ones who kidnapped you. It was from their mouths that I learned that you were actually resurrected.”

    “Shen Lanchuan has done all his tricks. I didn’t expect that I would end up in a place like this, hahahahahaha.”

    When Shen Xuzhi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, a cold light flashed in Ji Hantong’s eyes.

    That’s it now.

    Ji Hantong’s figure suddenly rose up, and the Fuxue Sword was already in his hand before he knew it, and it was pointed straight at Shen Xu’s throat.

    Shen Xuzhi’s laughter stopped abruptly.He turned sideways suddenly, and the sword light grazed his neck, picking up a strand of hair.

    “You—” Shen Xuzhi’s pupils shrank, “How come you have such cultivation?!”

    Those demon cultivators clearly said that Ji Hantong had no cultivation, and he had just checked that Ji Hantong was indeed an ordinary person now.

    Ji Hantong didn’t answer.He stepped forward with his sword moving continuously, each move faster than the next.

    After all the delay just now, he was waiting for this moment.

    In my mind, the voice of 1228 had just fallen: “Immortal Yuheng, your cultivation has been restored, and the next step is up to you.”

    Ji Hantong’s lips curved into a sneer.

    This guy caused many monks to be sacrificed in the world of cultivation for hundreds of years, and the whereabouts of the master is still unknown. Xiao Mengjue and Mo Wuyi are separated from each other, Song Mianbai and Lou Yuxing both died in love, and he has been separated from his senior brother for ten years, and has struggled to get to where he is now.

    He must kill this beast with the sword today.

    Shen Xuzhi dodged in embarrassment, and the gentle and jade-like mask on his face finally shattered, revealing the twisted ferocity underneath.

    “Okay, very good!” Shen Xuzhi gritted his teeth and said, “It seems that you don’t know what method you used to restore your cultivation. I want to see how long your newly restored cultivation can last!”

    Shen Xuzhi formed a seal with his hands, and a strong black mist surged out of his body.The mist, carrying a disgusting stench, surged toward Ji Hantong overwhelmingly.

    Ji Hantong’s sword turned, and the snow-brushing sword turned into thousands of snow-white sword shadows, crushing the filthy air layer by layer.

    Shen Xuzhi was surprised: “These are all my foul energy. Why can you attack them?”

    “Hehe, the Quick Travel Bureau manages all small worlds after all. It’s not easy to fine-tune the values.” System 0621 said proudly in Ji Hantong’s mind.

    System 1228 sighed. If this guy hadn’t begged him for days, he wouldn’t have secretly opened the back door.

    The two of them fought from the edge of the altar to the center of the altar, and from the ground to mid-air.Sword light intertwined with black mist, spiritual power and foul energy collided, creating a deafening roar.

    Ji Hantong became more courageous as he fought.All the cultivation he had accumulated for more than four hundred years returned, and the familiar power surged through his body, making him feel more relaxed than ever before.

    Shen Xuzhi’s eyes darkened.

    It can’t be delayed any longer.

    He suddenly took a few steps back, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.

    “Boom——”

    The altar trembled violently, and the black boulder covered with dark red lines began to slowly rotate as if it came to life.A black bead in the center burst out with a dazzling light, and the light enveloped the entire altar.

    Ji Hantong’s body suddenly sank.

    An invisible pressure fell from the sky, as if it was going to crush his bones.The spiritual power in his body began to become disordered, and its operation became extremely difficult.

    Shen Xuzhi looked at him with a proud smile on his face.

    “This is an altar that I have prepared for hundreds of years, using the flesh and blood souls of 1,372 monks. Do you think you can resist it?”

    Ji Hantong gritted his teeth and tried to break away from the pressure, but found that his body seemed to be bound by invisible chains, unable to move.

    Shen Xuzhi approached slowly, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch his face again.

    “This time, let’s see who can save you.”

    Before he finished speaking——

    “Boom!!!”

    The top of the altar was split open by an extremely sharp sword light.

    Debris flew and smoke filled the air.A slender figure fell from the sky and hit Shen Xuzhi hard.

    Shen Xuzhi flew out and hit the stone pillar at the edge of the altar, spurting out a large mouthful of blood.

    Ji Hantong fell into a familiar embrace.

    “Little wood…” Shen Lanchuan’s voice was hoarse.

    Ji Hantong raised his hand and hugged him gently.

    “Brother, I am here, I have always been here.”

    Shen Lanchuan said nothing.He hugged Ji Hantong and raised his head to look at Shen Xuzhi who had climbed up from the ruins, his red eyes filled with murderous intent.

    “Senior brother, how did you find him here?” Ji Hantong asked.

    “You have my positioning spell on you.” Shen Lanchuan said word by word, “It is engraved in the soul. No matter where you are, no matter what method you use, I can find you.”

    Ji Hantong was helpless, senior brother was really…

    Shen Lanchuan protected Ji Hantong behind him, the Chunjun sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Shen Xuzhi.

    “Today, you are dead.”

    Shen Xuzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Shen Lanchuan, then at Ji Hantong, and suddenly smiled.

    That smile was crazy and twisted.

    “Okay, great!” he said, “Since you want to die so much, then I will make it happen for you!”

    Shen Xuzhi bit the tip of his tongue violently and spurted out a mouthful of blood.The blood mist spread and blended into the lines of the altar.

    The altar shook violently, and the black beads in the middle exploded.The corpses lying on the ground began to squirm, as if something was awakening from their bodies.

    An overwhelming black mist surged out from Shen Xuzhi’s body. The mist was so thick that it almost solidified and spread in all directions.

    “Let’s die together!” Shen Xuzhi laughed wildly, “All of you will be buried with me!”

    “Brother, in fact, this guy is the original body of the foul air. Now he wants to spread the foul air and drag all of us to be buried together.” Ji Hantong said anxiously.

    Shen Lanchuan frowned, stopped ink-marking, and directly used the strongest blow.

    “The ninth form of Taixuan Sword Technique, the ultimate return to true form.”

    Shen Lanchuan had never used this sword in front of others.Because this sword is too strong, so strong that even if he uses it, he will suffer backlash, but he can’t care about that much at the moment.

    Ji Hantong was about to step forward, but was suddenly stopped by System 1228.

    “Wait a moment.” System 1228 said.

    “What’s wrong?” Ji Hantong was confused.

    “Do you still remember what I told you? This guy was beaten to death by the current ghost king Wu Su in his original world and then escaped to your current world.”

    “So?” Ji Hantong’s eyes filled with anticipation.

    “I just borrowed one of Wu Su’s crafty weapons from him. I can use this to kill him completely.”

    Ji Hantong’s thoughts changed, and a… salted fish stick suddenly appeared in his hand?

    Ji Hantong: “???Why salted fish sticks?”

    System 1228 also coughed twice in embarrassment: “Don’t ask me, that guy said the person he likes is a salted fish, so his weapons are all salted fish.”

    Ji Hantong: “… He is such a unique ghost king.”

    Ji Hantong held the salted fish stick and felt the power contained in it.

    The power was strange, unlike any spiritual power he was familiar with.It does not belong to this world, it does not belong to the world of cultivation, and it cannot belong to his original modern world. It comes from another dimension, another world with completely different rules.

    Is this a strange power?

    In my mind, the voice of System 1228 sounded again:

    “Immortal Yuheng, this salted fish stick contains a ray of Wu Su’s original power sealed in it. As long as it hits the core of the foul energy, it can completely obliterate him.”

    “Where is the core?”

    “The center of Shen Xuzhi’s eyebrows.” System 1228 paused, “There is the most original soul that he took with him when he escaped. As long as it is destroyed, he will be completely finished.”

    Ji Hantong nodded.He took a deep breath, held the salted fish stick tightly, and fixed his gaze firmly on Shen Xuzhi, who was fighting with Shen Lanchuan.

    Shen Lanchuan’s sword became more and more powerful, but his face became increasingly pale.

    However, Shen Xuzhi became more and more mad as he fought: “Shen Lanchuan! You can’t kill me! You can never kill me!”

    Just when Shen Xuzhi focused all his attention on Shen Lanchuan

    Ji Hantong moved.His figure was like a stream of light, passing through layers of filth and reaching straight between Shen Xuzhi’s brows.

    Shen Xuzhi’s pupils suddenly shrank.He turned around suddenly and saw the salted fish stick in Ji Hantong’s hand.

    “Hahahahahahaha -” Shen Xuzhi couldn’t help laughing, “Ji Hantong, are you here to make a joke? You want to kill me with a piece of salted fish?”

    But his laughter only lasted a moment.The next moment, Shen Xuzhi’s smile froze on his face.

    Because he saw clearly the power contained in that salted fish stick.That is the power that is engraved in the bones of Shen Xu and will never be forgotten.

    It is the power of Wu Su.

    “No…impossible…” Shen Xuzhi’s voice trembled, “This…this is Wu Su’s thing. How could Wu Su’s power be on a salted fish stick? How could you have Wu Su’s thing?!”

    Ji Hantong didn’t answer.He stabbed the salted fish stick hard into Shen Xuzhi’s forehead.

    “No-!!!”

    The moment the salted fish stick pierced the center of his eyebrow, Shen Xuzhi let out a shrill scream.

    Shen Xuzhi’s body began to disintegrate.

    “No…I am not willing…I am not willing!!!”

    Ji Hantong stood in front of him and watched him disappear little by little.

    Those eyes were always cold and devoid of any mercy.

    “Are you unwilling?” Ji Hantong said, his voice surprisingly calm, “Are the 1,372 monks who were sacrificed by you willing?”

    “Are you willing to give up the countless seniors in the cultivation world who are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to seal your seal?”

    “Are you willing to accept the harm done by you?”

    Ji Hantong’s every word was like a nail driven into Shen Xuzhi’s last consciousness.

    Shen Xuzhi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.His body completely disintegrated, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the wind.

    Everything falls silent.

    Ji Hantong stood there, looking at the empty void, looking at the souls that had finally rested, and suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes.

    There were footsteps behind me.

    Shen Lanchuan walked to him, stretched out his hand and gently took him into his arms.

    Ji Hantong buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice:

    “Brother, it’s over.”

    Shen Lanchuan said nothing.He just held Ji Hantong, rested his chin on the top of his hair, and patted his back gently.

    *

    Xin Xuezhen and others who happened to arrive from a distance looked at the salted fish stick that fell on the ground and twitched the corners of their mouths.

    “So…” Xin Xuezhen’s voice was a little weird, “Senior Brother Yuheng finally beat that guy to death with a piece of salted fish?”

    Mo Wuyi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

    “Looks like it.”

    Hua Feixue laughed so hard that she couldn’t stand upright.

    “Salted fish! Hahahaha – salted fish! In all my years of living, this is the first time I’ve seen someone kill an enemy with salted fish! It’s so funny!”

    Li Cangming stood aside, with a wonderful expression on his face.He wanted to laugh, but felt that he shouldn’t laugh at this time.

    Ji Hantong poked his head out of Shen Lanchuan’s arms and looked at the expressions of those people, his face slightly red.

    “Why are you here? What are you laughing at!” Ji Hantong became angry in embarrassment, “This is the artifact I borrowed! Do you understand the artifact! You have to return it later, someone kindly borrowed it and you are laughing at it like this!”

    Shen Lanchuan looked down at him with a smile in his eyes: “Sacred weapon?”

    Ji Hantong nodded and said seriously: “Yes, a divine weapon.”

    Shen Lanchuan was silent for a moment, then he smiled softly and took Ji Hantong into his arms again.

    “Okay, it’s an artifact.”

    Ji Hantong buried her face into his chest and muttered softly: “It was originally…”

    Shen Lanchuan said no more.He held Ji Hantong in his arms and looked at the sky that was finally clear, feeling peaceful as never before.

    It’s over, everything is over, those who deserve to die are dead, and those who don’t deserve to die are also dead.

    But his little piece of wood was still in his arms.

    That’s enough.

    Ji Hantong stood on tiptoes and pressed a gentle kiss on Shen Lanchuan’s lips.

    “Let’s go home.” Ji Hantong said.

    Shen Lanchuan looked at him, his eyes full of tenderness: “Okay.” He took Ji Hantong’s hand, intertwined their fingers and left side by side.

    The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long.

    In the distance, Hua Feixue’s voice came faintly: “Hey, hurry up, you two! What are you dawdling about!”

    Then came Xin Xuezhen’s laughter, Mo Wuyi’s faint response, and Li Cangming’s helpless sigh.

    Ji Hantong listened to those voices and felt the warmth from his palms, feeling soft in his heart.

    He held Shen Lanchuan’s hand tightly and said softly, “Senior brother.”

    “Huh?”

    “I love you.”

    Shen Lanchuan paused for a moment, then lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Ji Hantong’s forehead.

    “I love you too,” Shen Lanchuan said, “forever.”

    The setting sun slowly sinks into the horizon, and a gorgeous sunset glow appears on the horizon.

    The two figures walked side by side and gradually disappeared into the dusk.

    The wind blew away, taking away the last trace of the smell of blood.

    There is clarity between heaven and earth.

    Note
