Xiang Beifei slightly opened his mouth.
Ten years ago, did she go near Jiuzhou just to find herself?
That ti she appeared near Zi Hou wasn’t coincidental, but she found him through so sort of guidance.
He took a step forward, looking more closely at this woman.
Even though only half of her body remained, there was still a gentle beauty about her.
He wanted to say sothing, but hesitated.
He never held much affection for his parents, only a strange obsession.
This obsession wasn’t from his current self, but from his past self.
The two of them remained silent, not knowing how long the silence lasted.
A long ti.
"Perhaps he has forgiven you?"
Xiang Beifei smiled gently.
Yu Tinglian looked up at Xiang Beifei.
Looking at this familiar yet strange boy.
She didn’t know why Xiang Beifei would say such a thing.
But when the boy said this, she inexplicably felt at ease.
Very strange.
She clearly didn’t know the other party.
"Do you know him?" Yu Tinglian asked.
"Everyone from Jiuzhou, perhaps I know him." Xiang Beifei said.
A glimr of hope appeared in Yu Tinglian’s eyes: "If you know him, please tell him I’m very sorry."
Xiang Beifei nodded: "I will."
"Thank you."
Yu Tinglian revealed a gentle half smile.
That half smile was like a spring breeze on the face, capable of lting the ravines filled with ice and snow.
"I’ll take you to find that person."
She put her hood back on, her mood seemingly improved, turned and headed towards the static, emaciated old man.
Xiang Beifei followed.
Xiaohei lay on Xiang Beifei’s shoulder, asking: "Why not tell her that you’re the person she’s looking for?"
"So words, I hope she’ll say herself."
Xiang Beifei looked at the woman’s back.
He knew what he needed to do.
——
They stopped not far from the motionless, emaciated old man.
The emaciated old man still stood there, his expression resolute as he gazed ahead, as if staring at sothing, or perhaps guarding sothing.
"We can’t go further." Yu Tinglian said.
"Why?"
"Because the ti flow there is different. In Edge Corner Airspace, one day is just a breath there. If you enter and talk with the person for a few hours, by the ti you return, thousands of years could have passed in Edge Corner Airspace, you surely won’t want that to happen." Yu Tinglian explained.
"What should we do then?"
"I’ll give him a signal to see if he’s willing to co out."
Yu Tinglian stretched out her fair hand, then pointed forward!
Buzz!
The reverse Heavenly Dao Laws began to spin, transforming into a special stream of light, darting into that region in a very twisted manner.
As this Heavenly Dao Law appeared, various sharp cries imdiately sounded around again, but were swept away by this twisted Heavenly Dao power, and soon it transmitted in, landing in the emaciated old man’s region.
About a quarter of an hour passed, the emaciated old man seed to change his posture, then transford into a stream of light, vanishing into the chaotic mist, and by the ti he reappeared, he was already in front of Xiang Beifei and the others.
"Daoist Yu, is there so trouble here?" the emaciated old man asked.
"Uh... hello, I’m not aware of your esteed na..." Yu Tinglian seed a bit embarrassed, she didn’t know the other person’s na.
"No problem, just call Daoist Xuan." The emaciated old man appeared used to this, and added: "Have you forgotten sothing again?"
Yu Tinglian shook her head, pointed to Xiang Beifei: "This ti, it’s him, he’s from Edge Corner Airspace."
Daoist Xuan turned towards Xiang Beifei, his eyes brightening, he appeared joyful and excitedly asked: "A new Protector from Edge Corner Airspace? We’ve always lacked manpower, severely lacking manpower."
"I just..."
Xiang Beifei was about to explain, but Daoist Xuan had already walked to his side, patting Xiang Beifei’s shoulder, saying: "You ca at the right ti! Protecting the order of Heavenly Dao Laws is every Protector’s responsibility! We must never retreat, for behind us are countless races and beings!"
His voice was enthusiastic and impassioned, for him, this was a noble profession, one that could be safeguarded with life!
Xiang Beifei wisely did not interrupt.
Daoist Xuan spoke at length, then said: "You managed to get here, which ans you at least rged Dao! Your cultivation and talent are top-notch, what Heavenly Dao do you cultivate?"
"I’m Human Race." Xiang Beifei said.
"Human Dao?"
Daoist Xuan suddenly realized, he then looked at Yu Tinglian and said: "So, you’ve co to take over from their couple?"
"Couple?"
Yu Tinglian found it strange.
What does couple an?
"Take over from them?" Xiang Beifei was even more surprised and said, "You an Xiang Tianxing, right?"
"Yes, it seems you indeed ca to take over from them. Their couple’s condition isn’t great. As Protectors, ultimately there’s a day of martyrdom, we just hope to find successors before martyrdom."
"Martyrdom?" Xiang Beifei frowned.
"As Protectors, we understand the magnitude of this responsibility. When we choose to beco Protectors, it ans we will spend our remaining days here, guarding the world’s last line of defense! When we’re eroded by chaotic forces, that’s also the ti of martyrdom, as long as we protect our world, it counts as a worthy death."
Daoist Xuan spoke with righteous conviction.
Discussing these matters, he felt no fear, instead resolutely fulfilling his duties.
Xiang Beifei pressed his lips tightly and said: "Are you so certain there will always be soone from Edge Corner Airspace willing to beco a Protector?"
"Becoming a Protector is a responsibility all races must shoulder! They must select a Protector, one who possesses responsibility, has unwavering determination to ensure the world’s continuity! Before you ca here, did your clan leader not inform you of all this?" Daoist Xuan asked.
"I ca here accidentally, no one inford of this." Xiang Beifei shook his head.
Daoist Xuan was astonished: "How is that possible? What about the Dao Palace? The Dao Palace surely would inform you of these things, right?"
"Dao Palace? The Dao Palace under Houtu Tribe’s rule?" Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.
"Dao Palace under Houtu Tribe’s rule, what do you an? Dao Palace isn’t solely governed by Houtu Tribe, it’s jointly managed by nine major races, established to protect Edge Corner Airspace!" Daoist Xuan explained.
Xiang Beifei said: "Senior doesn’t know about the occurrences in Edge Corner Airspace?"
"What could occur in Edge Corner Airspace?" Daoist Xuan asked.
Xiang Beifei realized sothing, asking: "How many years has senior guarded this area, away from Edge Corner Airspace?"
"Just two years."
"Two years? No wonder."
Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.
Where Daoist Xuan resided, ti passed slowly, he’d only been there for two years, yet tens of thousands of years had gone by in Edge Corner Airspace!
During these tens of thousands of years, Edge Corner Airspace had already transford greatly!
The Dao Palace, is no longer the Dao Palace it once was.
"Edge Corner Airspace has completely changed."
Xiang Beifei extended his finger, pointing out a light particle, he collected all his known mories within it, handing it to Daoist Xuan.
He knew Daoist Xuan would process them, Daoist Xuan also rged Dao, with extrely strong abilities, accepting these mories would be instant.
"How did this happen? Impossible! How could Houtu dare to do such a thing!"
Daoist Xuan’s face instantly showed anger!
"The key isn’t what he did, but now he’s driven by into the Chaotic Zone, I need to find him and kill him." Xiang Beifei said.
But Daoist Xuan suddenly changed color: "He rged Three Creates All Things and Withered Spirit at the End? That’s bad!"
