On the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, the wind and sand swept across, making it desolate and silent.

The ground is covered with scorched earth and devastation.

There were broken arms and limbs and broken magic weapons everywhere.

The earth collapsed and mountains and rivers withered.

A figure covered in blood lay paralyzed on the ground.

When Li Fuyou found him, all the vitality in his body had been drained away. He was only supported by a force of will and did not breathe his last breath.

"Brother Fuyou, look, I...I did it."

The man spoke with difficulty, his voice sputtering, like a low and hoarse bellows blowing.

After saying this, the man breathed his last.

His eyes were distracted, staring blankly at the gray sky.

There was a peaceful and calm smile on his blood-stained face.

His name is Zhong Youqi.

A friend who is in the same camp as Li Fuyou.

During those years of fighting in the endless battlefield, the person he trusted most was Li Fuyou.

The one I admire the most is also Li Fuyou.

but……

Since he is not strong enough, he has very few opportunities to help Li Fuyou.

But in the battle before his death, he tried his best to help Li Fuyou contain the two powerful enemies!

At the moment when he died on the battlefield, he had no regrets or unwillingness. Instead, he passed away with a smile as if he had lost his mind.

Yes, he would die without regrets if he could help Li Fuyou kill the enemy!

At that time, Li Fuyou held Zhong Youqi's body and sat alone on the battlefield for a long, long time.

Zhong Youqi once said that after entering the endless battlefield, he had already left life and death behind.

The only thing I can't let go of is my wife and children at home.

Zhong Youqi once said when he was drunk that his name was Zhong Youqi and that he would eventually have a chance to reunite with his wife and children.

The clock has its time.

Eventually!

It's a pity that he died in the battle in the end and could not go back to see his wife and children.

This incident once made Li Fuyou very sad, guilty and regretful.

Unfortunately, Li Fuyou also died in the endless battlefield in the end, and was unable to bring Zhong Youqi's ashes back to his hometown.

…

Time passes bit by bit.

A woman in red clothes named Baoyun has been waiting outside the pavilion.

She originally planned to eavesdrop and find out what the origin of that guy with a strange origin, ferocious eyes, and wretched appearance was.

But what annoyed her was that the soundproof barrier was activated in the pavilion, so she didn't hear a sound.

Until half an hour later.

The pavilion door opened and Zhong Xinlan walked out.

"Xinlan, that guy didn't do anything to you, right?"

Baoyun blurted out, her worry evident in her words.

Zhong Xinlan couldn't laugh or cry, shook her head and said: "Sister Yun, Fellow Daoist Ye has a close relationship with my family. He is definitely not a bad person. Don't think about it any more."

After a pause, she said: "Also, on the way ahead, Fellow Daoist Ye will go to Yunji Temple with us, and I have arranged a resting place for him."

Baoyun opened her mouth to speak, but Zhong Xinlan tried to dissuade her: "Okay, that's it."

With that said, she took Su Yi with her to arrange a place for Su Yi to stay.

After Su Yi was properly arranged, Bao Yun impatiently called Zhong Xinlan aside to talk alone.

"Xinlan, what is the origin of that guy? Don't be fooled. How could someone who is related to your family appear out of nowhere?"

Baoyun chatted a lot.

Zhong Xinlan rubbed the tip of her eyebrows and simply said: "Sister Yun, please stop prying into this matter. Just trust me once, okay."

Baoyun sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhong Xinlan immediately laughed and chatted with Bao Yun about other things.

In fact, Zhong Xinlan didn't know exactly where Ye Mu came from. When she talked to him before, he was tight-lipped and only said that his identity was very special and should not be revealed.

Originally, there were many doubts about this response.

But when Ye Mu talked about some things related to their Zhong clan, Zhong Xinlan was extremely convinced that Ye Mu was not lying.

The other party is not only proficient in their clan’s inherited secrets, but also masters many of their clan’s long-lost great inheritances!

All this shocked Zhong Xinlan and convinced her that the other party really had a lot to do with their Zhong family!

Moreover, Ye Mu has promised that he will teach her the lost great inheritance one by one on the way!!

Zhong Xinlan was naturally looking forward to this, and she didn't ask any more questions about Ye Mu's origins.

From that day on, Su Yi stayed on the boat.

Apart from practicing, he spent time alone with Zhong Xinlan, teaching him the inheritance of the Great Dao.

It has to be said that Zhong Xinlan is worthy of being the leading peerless goddess in Southern Fire Continent today. She is not only excellent in music and painting, but also has extremely high understanding.

Even her appearance can be said to be elegant and pure, pure and bright.

Such a beauty will naturally attract many admirers and suitors.

While chatting, Su Yi had already learned that Zhong Xinlan was indeed a descendant of Zhong Youqi's lineage, but the generation difference was too big.

Zhong Xinlan was honored as the ancestor of Zhong Youqi!

In Su Yi's heart, she already regarded Zhong Xinlan as her best friend's descendant. In addition, because of Zhong Youqi's death, Su Yi felt regretful and indebted. He spared no effort in guiding Zhong Xinlan's practice.

All this was seen by Bao Yun. She would be very worried whenever she saw Su Yi and Zhong Xinlan in the pavilion together every day.

I'm afraid Su Yi will do something to Zhong Xinlan.

The most troublesome thing for her was that she couldn't persuade Zhong Xinlan no matter how hard she tried! It was like she was being fed an ecstasy soup! Her reminders and warnings completely turned a deaf ear.

Several days passed in a hurry.

The land of the far west.

Above a desolate and lonely snowfield, the sky is shrouded in dark and heavy clouds all year round.

The cold wind howled like a knife and rolled up heavy snow all over the sky.

At a glance, you can see thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the sky and the earth are completely white.

This place in the far west of the Southern Fire God Continent is the territory of Yunji Temple. On the vast snowfield, ancient temples and Buddhist temples are built everywhere.

Most of the cultivators scattered in this bitter and cold land are those who eat fast and chant Buddha's name.

Including demons, there are many disciples of Buddhism and Taoism.

After arriving in the far west, teams rushing to Yunji Temple can be seen everywhere along the way.

Or act alone.

Or in small groups.

People from all over the world come from all over the world to participate in the "Relief Dharma Conference".

Tianbing Ancient City.

An ancient giant city located in the far west, it is also the largest and most prosperous city in this snowy plain.

Starting from this city, you can reach Yunji Temple in less than an hour!

Su Yi and his party arrived at Tianbing Ancient City in the evening and decided to rest here.

Tomorrow, the "Relief Dharma Assembly" that has attracted worldwide attention in the Southern Fire Continent will kick off on the "Hantan Mountain" of Yunji Temple.

In the city, in a magnificent ancient courtyard, a feast was being staged.

Those participating in the feast were all divine son-level figures from various major traditions in the Southern Fire Continent.

There are some truly extraordinary beings among them.

It can be said that the stars are shining brightly.

Zhong Xinlan was also invited and participated with Su Yi and Bao Yun.
