Feng Zhan saw Yan Ruyu present.
He quickly said, "We saw him."
"He is in the valley. If you go now, you may still be able to persuade him."
Yan Ruyu took a glance at the Nether Valley.
"They have already left."
The barrier has been removed.
How could they still be in this Nether Valley?
"Where could they go?"
Yan Ruyu shook his head.
"Perhaps anywhere in the Nine Continents. Zhao Huai is no longer the young boy he used to be. He can go anywhere in the mountains freely. And the demons in the mountains will surely follow his commands."
"Bu Ran, what should we do?"
"Little Aunt, did you tell Zhao Huai the consequences of staying here?"
Shi Jiu nodded.
Feng Zhan said, "We did, but he has conditions."
Even without looking at Feng Zhan, Yan Ruyu could guess what the conditions were.
"Bu Ran, is that girl really that rare? Even a person like Zhao Huai would use her as a main condition."
"Brother, I will never give Ning'er to him."
Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shuning have gone through so much. It was only recently that they were together. This happiness came so hard. He will not give up, nor will he ever give up.
"Of course we know."
Just from seeing Bu Ran turn white-haired overnight for that girl, they knew.
For Bu Ran, that girl was more important than his life.
"Bu Ran, you said that Zhao Huai's abilities have improved greatly. Even if you were to fight him, you may not have full confidence?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
Over the years, he had spent too much mental energy in the Ghost Realm.
While fighting against the people in the Ghost Realm, he was also trying to repair his own mental energy. It would take a long time for him to return to his peak condition.
"But Zhao Huai could have harmed the common people or come to you over the years. But he did nothing."
"Logically speaking, he only needed ten years to repair his spiritual consciousness and restore his original form. But he would rather spend more time cultivating a human body. It should be for Ning'er."
Yan Ruyu had a solemn expression.
He continued, "Actually, when I saw him on the Ghost Island, I could tell that he had his original consciousness. That was the first time we met after he obtained his original consciousness. It was completely different from when he was in the sect. Since then, I knew that he was only the Demon Sovereign, no longer the original Zhao Huai."
"Then why hasn't he taken action even though he has cultivated to this level?"
"His wings cannot be freely retracted. Secondly, Zhao Huai may be waiting, waiting for something to happen."
Feng Zhan took a step forward.
He walked in front of Yan Ruyu.
He asked, "I still don't understand something."
"What is it?"
"Bu Ran, logically speaking, after Zhao Huai lost his human body and restored his original form, shouldn't he be heartless? Shouldn't he be a person without desires?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
Feng Zhan continued, "But I find it strange. You see, he was raised by Zhao Zheng and his wife. No matter what, he should have feelings for the Zhao Family. But over the years, he has never returned to the Zhao Family. Why? He has no feelings for the Zhao Family, but why does he have such a deep obsession with the girl from the Zhao Family?"
"Brother doesn't know. Ning'er told me that when she was still a baby, Zhao Huai often carried her in a basket on his back up the mountain to collect herbs. Once, the spring water on the mountain was trampled by some livestock. Ning'er was thirsty and her lips were dry. Zhao Huai bit his finger and placed it in Ning'er's mouth for her to suck."
"It was from that time that Ning'er had Zhao Huai's essence blood in her body. Their relationship was quite deep. Zhao Huai was a solitary person. It was Ning'er's appearance that accompanied his entire youth."
Feng Zhan nodded thoughtfully.
"If that's the case, doesn't the Demon Lord of the Ghost Realm, Mo Bai, also have Zhao Huai's essence blood in his body? And the amount should be much more than that of the girl. Why doesn't Zhao Huai have any ties to Mo Bai?"
Yan Ruyu replied, "Brother may not know. When Mo Bai obtained Zhao Huai's flesh and blood, he used the Five Element Formation. Under the Five Element Formation, the flesh and blood had completely separated from Zhao Huai's original body. That was why Zhao Huai's flesh and blood would not be rejected by Mo Bai's body. Strictly speaking, although the flesh and blood that passed through the Five Element Formation had the power of the Demon Ancestor, the power was no longer related to Zhao Huai."
Feng Zhan nodded in understanding.
There were too many strange things in this world. He didn't know how long it would take for him to figure them out.
"Ah! Bu Ran, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot that we should have chased after them. They didn't go far. If you were to chase after them now, it is possible."
However, Yan Ruyu shook his head.
"We won't be able to catch up. Zhao Huai now has wings. He can fly thousands of miles in an instant. We won't be able to catch up."
"So powerful?"
"A Zhan. Why are you looking at me?" Shi Jiu touched her face, thinking that there was something dirty on her face.
"Grandma, how could you be so careless as to let such a powerful person go?"
Shi Jiu was embarrassed.
Feng Zhan had always spoken like this.
But when he saw Shi Jiu's slightly aggrieved expression, he could only change his tone and say, "Alright, alright, it's okay. With me and Bu Ran here, there won't be any problems."
Shi Jiu was unhappy.
Yan Ruyu looked at the sky.
The sky was cloudless.
The sky was blue.
However, he was afraid that this peaceful time would not last long.
The Divine Sect in the Ghost Realm was sneaky and becoming more and more powerful. They had long coveted the Nine Continents.
In recent years.
Among the eight countries on the Nine Continents.
More or less, there had been many conflicts.
In the future, a great war may not be avoided.
Would the prophecy of the Star Disk Formation come true?
"Brother, let's return to the Azure Cloud Nation first."
"What about Zhao Huai?"
"After we return, we can discuss it properly. I came out to look for you. The Azure Cloud Nation is still without a leader. We need to return quickly. Little Aunt, after you return, think about it carefully and see if you can find the weakness of the Demon Ancestor. After all, you have met the Demon Ancestor before. Think about it carefully. After you think of it, tell Brother about it."
"I know."
Shi Jiu replied sullenly.
Yan Ruyu called out to the side, "Xiao Bai, you can send Brother and Little Aunt back first."
Feng Zhan and Shi Jiu climbed onto the back of the Bai Ze.
Feng Zhan said to Yan Ruyu, "What about you?"
"I still have things to do. I won't be returning for now."
"But you just said that the Azure Cloud Nation is without a leader?"
"So, I need to trouble Brother to return to the Azure Cloud Nation first and help handle the political affairs."
"Bu Ran, you—"
Don't play like this.
Even his own brother was framed.
But before Feng Zhan could complain, the Bai Ze leaped and quickly left the Nether Valley.
