Seeing Bai Wei Again
Lin Luochen flew along, discovering fallen trees across the mountains and rivers, with demonized beasts constantly appearing, their bodies wrapped in demonic qi.
This made his heart burn with anxiety, causing him to unconsciously increase his speed.
After a moment, Lin Luochen saw the majestic city known as Xuantian City.
The entire city was built into the mountainside, with houses stretching from the mountain foot, gradually extending upwards.
At this moment, Xuantian City had a certain imperial city atmosphere, completely different from its previous cramped state at the mountain foot.
But at present, the city was also a scene of collapse, with many citizens cleaning up the rubble, clearly having suffered a calamity.
Lin Luochen quickly steered his flying sword down, hurriedly walking into the city, and surprisingly encountered no obstruction.
Because the city guards were all cleaning up the rubble, and scattered citizens were returning from outside the city.
The city was filled with gloom, and the faces of those cleaning up the rubble were full of worry and unease.
Mo Huaishan and his granddaughter were also apprehensive, looking bewildered at the dilapidated surroundings.
After all, they had come to this legendary pure land of the Human Race with great difficulty, how could it be like this?
“Excuse me, what exactly happened in the city?”
Lin Luochen stopped a man who was working. The man glanced at him and asked in surprise, “Fellow Daoist, did you just return from outside?”
Lin Luochen quickly nodded. The strong man sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t know, half a month ago, a Demon Lord attacked.”
“Although he was forced back by another Demon Lord, Tian Du Demon Lord, he still severely injured the Mystic Bird and the Human King, and captured Dao Ancestor Chi Feng.”
“Now the Human King and the Mystic Bird are seriously injured, and I don’t know how much more will be paid to ask that Demon Lord to help.”
At this point, his face was full of worry and bewilderment, not knowing where he should go in the future.
Lin Luochen’s heart sank upon hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, “What about Bai Wei?”
The man regarded Lin Luochen as an admirer of Bai Wei, and didn’t find it strange.
“Fellow Daoist, rest assured, Clan Head Bai Wei is unharmed, and is now leading people outside the city to clean up the demons created by the Demon Lord.”
He glanced at the sky and said solemnly, “Counting the time, they will be back in the city in at most half an hour.”
Lin Luochen felt relieved. Fortunately, although he was late, he wasn’t too late!
Although he was worried about Chi Feng, his top priority was to find someone to clarify the situation.
Lin Luochen inquired about Bai Wei’s route back to the city, thanked the man, and then planned to find Bai Wei to understand the situation.
Mo Huaishan and his granddaughter, having just arrived at this place, helpless and alone, quickly followed.
Lin Luochen didn’t stop them. He didn’t know Bai Wei’s mountain route, so he simply waited on the small path outside the city gate.
Mo Huaishan kept chattering and trying to get close, clearly hoping that Lin Luochen could introduce some connections.
According to him, he knew everything from astronomy to geography, and was skilled in selecting and employing talent—he boasted extravagantly.
Lin Luochen leaned against a tree, listening to Mo Shouren’s boasting, looking at the wilting Azure Lotus in his Sea of Consciousness, his thoughts drifted far away.
Am I really the Reincarnation Holy Monarch?
Then wouldn’t I be able to do whatever I want in this era?
On the other side, Bai Wei had exhausted herself killing a demonized beast, and couldn’t help but gasp.
This Hongyun Demon Lord’s origin was unknown; releasing demonic qi could corrupt and demonize beasts.
On that day, when he attacked, he used this method to make the beasts in the mountains riot, causing many casualties.
Bai Wei thought of the powerful Demon Lord, sighed, and looked up at the sky.
“Let’s go, back to the city!”
“Yes!”
The people behind her nodded in unison, looking at Bai Wei in front with admiration, many of their eyes filled with admiration.
The Shang Dynasty now has four major tribes, namely the black, white, red, and green tribes who initially joined the Mystic Bird Tribe.
The other three tribes had no objections, but the Bai Clan, where Bai Wei belonged, was resented by the later tribes.
Because Bai Wei’s strength was far inferior to the priests or clan heads of the other four tribes, and her clansmen were not as numerous.
Those who didn’t know about Lin Luochen naturally had quite a few complaints about this, and many even wanted to replace her.
But Xuan Yin and the other three tribes were quite supportive of her, leaving those tribes unable to do anything.
Bai Wei did not always live under the care of others, and soon she worked hard and made rapid progress in cultivation.
She then discovered that the casual words Lin Luochen had spoken to her along the way were actually insightful and full of wisdom.
Bai Wei, being a Spirit Maiden, naturally had outstanding talent. In these two hundred years, she caught up with Hei Lian and others, helping the Bai Clan secure its position among the four major clans.
Her unique Divine Prayer Art was incredibly miraculous, capable of saving lives and healing injuries, and was deeply loved by the people of the Shang Dynasty.
Bai Wei was young, beautiful, and inspired by Lin Luochen, she paid great attention to her appearance. Coupled with her sacred bearing, her admirers were as numerous as the grains of sand on a riverbank.
But she treated everyone equally, friendly yet distant, seemingly close yet far away.
Her followers increased instead of decreasing, believing her to be a goddess who did not eat the food of mortals, and one by one they voluntarily followed her.
Bai Wei looked at the fervent eyes behind her, shook her head helplessly, and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
What kind of cold and aloof goddess am I? I’m just waiting for one person!
A person who is impossible to return!
Thinking of this, Bai Wei felt a little unhappy, because that person had really left for two hundred years and never came back to see her.
Perhaps, to him, she was just a passerby in his life, forgotten after leaving!
Bai Wei shook her head, secretly reminding herself that this was a moment of life or death, not a time for sentimental affairs.
Chi Feng was still in the hands of the Hongyun Demon Lord. It was said that the Hongyun Demon Lord was going to hold a Man-Eating Assembly and invite many demons!
She only hated that she didn’t have the ability, otherwise she would have killed that hateful Hongyun Demon Lord!
And the Tian Du Demon Lord took advantage of the situation, and actually proposed to marry her, and also asked the Human Race to bow down to him.
Bai Wei refused on the spot. The Tian Du Demon Lord only asked her to think it over carefully.
Otherwise, the next time Hongyun came, he would not intervene again!
If she changed her mind, she should go to Tian Du Mountain herself, and he would be waiting at any time.
The Tian Du Demon Lord looked as if he had Bai Wei in his grasp, waiting for her to come to him, calmly returning to Tian Du Mountain.
Thinking of his attitude of waiting for her to beg him, Bai Wei gritted her teeth in anger.
Truly, those of different races will surely have different hearts!
Even if the Tian Du Demon Lord pretended to be benevolent towards the Human Race, deep down he didn’t take the Human Race seriously!
But thinking of Chi Feng, and the Hongyun Demon Lord who had declared that he would come again, Bai Wei felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
If he were here… or if I had left with him, wouldn’t I have to worry about so much?
Two hundred years have passed, I wonder how he is doing now, is he having a chance encounter and spending time with other beauties somewhere?
Just as Bai Wei was thinking this, she suddenly saw a man in white clothes leaning against a tree outside the city gate.
A gentle breeze ruffled his hair, and the golden light of the sunset fell on him, adding a touch of gentleness to his handsome face.
At this moment, the man looked at her with gentle eyes, took a big gulp of wine, and showed a gentle smile.
“You’re really slow in coming back!”
Bai Wei looked at the man before her, as handsome as a banished immortal, exactly as he was in the past, as if he had never left.
The scene before her blurred, but she quickly wiped away her tears, fearing that the man would disappear in the blink of an eye, that it was all just a dream.
But these tears could not be wiped away, luckily the man in front of her did not disappear, and was still standing gently before her.
“Benefactor, is that really you?”
Lin Luochen looked at Bai Wei, who hadn’t changed much except for being a little older, and felt much emotion.
She had achieved great cultivation, having already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, her appearance hadn’t changed at all, only becoming more mature and attractive.
But under this appearance, her eyes were still the same as when they first met, innocent and apprehensive, making him feel as if he were seeing the young woman of that year.
“It’s me!”
Bai Wei could no longer control herself, and rushed into his arms, all the pressure instantly released, she began to cry uncontrollably.
“It’s really you, you finally came back to find me!”
Lin Luochen didn’t expect Bai Wei to break the rules right away, directly charging into him, causing his heart to tremble as well.
He held the woman who was weeping softly in his arms, feeling immense guilt, gently stroking her hair.
“I’m sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time.”
Bai Wei shook her head upon hearing this, crying even harder, her hands tightly clutching his sleeve, as if afraid he would disappear.
Lin Luochen felt a sharp pain from her grip, but he didn’t dare to make a sound, only feeling even more guilty.
This girl really waited for me for two hundred years!
But this time I came back, I still can’t take her away!
Lin Luochen sighed, holding her in his arms, gently soothing her emotions.
“It’s okay, I’m back, nothing is a big deal!”
Bai Wei sobbed and hummed, Lin Luochen felt her fear, and his killing intent surged like the sea.
Hongyun Demon Lord, Tian Du Demon Lord, is it?
You’re dead!
Bai Wei’s followers were all dumbfounded at this moment, not understanding who this person was.
Why did their goddess rush into his arms the moment she saw him, crying like this?
Only a few people who had seen Lin Luochen before recognized him, and exclaimed joyfully, “It’s Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestor is back!”
“Great, Dao Ancestor Chi Feng will be saved, the Human Race will be saved!”
The others didn’t understand, Dao Ancestor?
Where did another Dao Ancestor come from?
Bai Wei heard the noisy sounds behind her, and came back to her senses, quickly looking up at Lin Luochen.
“Benefactor! Daoist Chi Feng…”
Lin Luochen nodded and said, “I know, don’t worry, I will find a way to save him!”
Bai Wei instantly felt a weight lifted from her heart, and was about to say something, when she saw a girl of seven or eight years old hiding behind Lin Luochen, peeking at her.
Bai Wei was struck by lightning. Does the Benefactor already have a daughter?
She searched everywhere, but didn’t find any stunning woman, remembering that the Benefactor seemed to have a special preference, she became terrified.
No good, could this be the main one?
