“Elder, I’m leaving!”
Qin Li pondered for a long time and finally spoke the truth.
This sentence, he had held it in for a long time, and now, on the occasion when he shouldn’t have opened his mouth the most, he spoke it. Inexplicably, he was somewhat relieved, as if a large stone had fallen, but at the same time, he also felt a chill that froze his heart to the core.
The Aurora Grand Hall, which was still lively just now, instantly fell silent.
Deadly silence!
The crowd of Northern Region Immortal Kings were silenced.
The original fiery atmosphere instantly dropped below the freezing point.
The Devil Monarch’s joyful expression was violently cloudy, he didn’t speak, the silence was terrifying and creepy.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in the cauldron, flakes of snowflakes landed, the lights of Eternal Night City, including the star lights, went out one after another, even the aurora borealis disappeared. Everything was plunged into the coldest darkness.
“Elder, I’ve come to say goodbye.”Qin Li felt a deadly chill, but still finished the words in his heart along his scalp.
“Is the Northern Domain bad?”The Demon Monarch spoke, no longer smiling.
“There is no strife or pursuit in the Northern Domain, I like it very much.”Qin Li spoke.
“Is it bad for me to act on your behalf?”The Devil Monarch’s eyes narrowed, devoid of joy or sorrow.
“Senior has treated me extremely well, and there is no way to repay the great favour.”Qin Li took a deep breath and spoke his answer.
“Then why must you return to the Western Region?”The Demon Monarch sat in the void, the black air around him like fog, as mysterious and cold as the night.
“Because the Western Region is my home!”Qin Li felt a tremendous pressure, which was not exerted by the Demon Monarch, but his own sense of guilt, almost unable to face the people of the Northern Domain.
After three questions!
The Demon Monarch did not ask again.
No one dared to speak either.
The temperature in the great hall was getting colder and colder, and white frost crawled on the ground.
Snow fell in the void and was mixed with thunder and lightning, all of which were the wrath of the celestials, triggering changes that symbolised the anger, indifference, sadness and disappointment in the heart of the Lord of the Northern Domain.
All the Immortal Kings were shivering in fear. Remembering the last time the Demon Lord was this angry, it was still Ye Beichen’s betrayal and departure. After a year, it was sobering to see Qin Li leaving again.
The entire atmosphere of the room just froze, not daring to move.
At this time!
The icebreaker appeared.
Ye Qingyue stood up and said:
“Father, my daughter has a birthday gift that she has yet to present to you!”
“What gift!”
The Devil Monarch asked slowly, and the atmosphere slowed down.
Ye Qingyue offered a peach kernel, which should have been left over from what she had just eaten.
Qin Li was slightly shocked, wasn’t Ye Qingyue going to send the Life Extension Pill? Why is she sending a peach kernel of an aromatic peach. The rest of the people were also puzzled.
Ye Qingyue bites her lip and explains, ”The Outer Dao Immortal King’s means are so great that he actually allowed the Northern Domain to blossom with prosperity. But my daughter feels it’s not right and thinks it’s against nature.”
“For example, this Fragrant Peach, which should have grown in the Western Domain, is juicy yet fertile. If it is forcibly transplanted to the Northern Domain, it produces thin and unsweet fruits, and it is also labour intensive. Father, why force a tree, let him return to the Western Domain!”
Yun Shiyu was shocked in her heart, secretly admiring Ye Qingyue’s intelligence and greatness, willing to use the peach as a metaphor to bail Qin Li out of the Northern Domain at this time.
Qin Li’s lips trembled slightly, his heart was so moved that he was actually speechless.
The Demon Monarch slowly closed his eyes.
“Ai…”
With a long sigh, the spring wind melted the snow.
The Demon Monarch speaks again is: “Some people, after all, cannot be retained.”
“Come on people, warm the wine!”
The words fell!
The Drunken Immortal King acted immediately.
Four cups of fine wine were steaming hot, two cups of moon agar and two cups of Thousand Mountain Twilight Snow.
The Demon Monarch explained, “There is a custom in the Northern Region to drink two cups of wine to send off, one cup to ease the sorrow of parting, and one cup in anticipation of meeting again.”
“Many thanks senior! Many thanks senior!”Qin Li said it twice heavily.
The two of them raised their glasses.
One cup was followed by one.
“Even the best wine will always run out one day!”
The Devil Monarch said farewell, “But special friends will meet again one day. As you go, remember to bring Little White to play in the Northern Domain often.”
“Senior, I’ll remember!”
Qin Li nodded, his heart filled with thoughts.
After all, he left, taking Yun Shiyu with him as he flew in the direction of the Western Domain.
Leaving the Eternal Night City!
Qin Li greeted the wind and snow, somewhat despondent.
Yun Shiyu, however, patted her small chest, her heart palpitating, “I thought the Demon Lord would force his hand and leave you in the Northern Domain.”
Qin Li laughed, “You were scared out of your wits by the Cloud Que Palace Lord, the Devil Monarch has a big belly and is a lord of a generation, and is worlds apart from your mother, even without Ye Qingyue’s help, I’ll still be able to leave.”
Yun Shiyu, however, skimmed her mouth, “Just cut the crap, even though I know that my mother can’t be a good person, but after all, she is my mother and your mother-in-law.”
At the mention of mother-in-law!
Qin Li felt his scalp go numb.
Bad memories in his mind were tickled by a series of them.
As a superfluous son-in-law, he knew the horror of a mother-in-law, who couldn’t be beaten, couldn’t be scolded, and would only gain an inch with humility. Fortunately, the Earth one had already passed away, but now there was another one.
“Oops, someone is chasing us from behind, let’s run away.”Yun Shiyu was startled, thinking that the Demon Monarch had backtracked and sent people to kill them.
Qin Li took a closer look and laughed, “Whispering, why are you here?”
“You even dropped something!”
Ye Qingyue smiled as she threw out the Night Colour Furnace.
Qin Li received the furnace, his heart filled with emotion, “Light Speech, why don’t you come with me and I’ll take you to live in the Western Regions.”
“No!”
Ye Qingyue smiled sweetly, “No matter how bitter and cold the Northern Domain is, it is ultimately my home, just like you must return to the Western Domain, I must also stay in the Northern Domain. Besides, I still have to assist my father, and with you and Beichen gone, I can’t leave again.”
Qin Li couldn’t help but feel a bit lost, forcing up a wave of smiles, “Alright! Since that’s the case, let’s part ways here!”
“Farewell at this point!”Ye Qingyue stepped forward and took the initiative to embrace.
Qin Li returned a kiss.
A long time!
The two of them finally parted ways.
Qin Li and Yun Shiyu disappeared into the wind and snow.
Ye Qingyue stood in place, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her long night-coloured skirt fluttering.
She could not suppress it after all, her smile extinguishing on her pretty face as she shed two lines of sorrowful tears that froze into beads of ice and fell to the ground.
“Go home!”
The Demon Lord appeared beside her.
“Hmm!”Ye Qingyue’s voice choked.
She was still holding the peach kernel from the Western Region tightly in her hand.
If one could eat fragrant peaches in the Northern Domain, who would be willing to let the peach tree go!
……
Crossing over the Zhenxi Ice Wall.
Qin Li and his duo returned to the Western Domain.
The surrounding scenery had changed drastically, with ice and snow melting and flowers blooming.
Compared to the cold and blandness of the Northern Region, the Western Region was more prosperous and lively, as well as bright and warm.
“Leaving the Western Domain for more than four whole years, I’ve spared all the four directions of the domains on my substrate, and I’ve finally returned to the point of origin.”Qin Li felt emotion in his heart, leaving was Immortal King First Grade, now Immortal King Eighth Grade, not far from the final hurdle.
After leaving the Northern Domain, he was sad, after returning to the Western Domain, his heart was filled with more excitement and anticipation, returning to the same place. I don’t know how everyone is doing, is Xia Yu Fei’s tummy very big, must go back immediately.
“Qin Li, I’m afraid!”
Yun Shiyu pinched the corner of her skirt, a little nervous.
Qin Li laughed, “What are you afraid of, it’s not like there are any enemies in the Western Region.”
Yun Shiyu swallows her saliva and panics, “Will my sisters bully me, after all, I’m a latecomer, technically, I’m considered an interloper.”
“Don’t worry, they are very nice and will treat you well.”Qin Li couldn’t help but smile, after all, they were all interlopers, and with the absence of the main palace, no one could bury anyone.
The two flew all the way!
A day later, the Golden Gate Mountain was in sight.
Qin Li, however, found that many small palace buildings had been erected around it, and many Western Region cultivators were coming and going, almost spawning a city.
“It seems that the academy has fully entered the world and spawned affiliated cities.”
Qin Li led Yun Shiyu over.
Suddenly!
A cultivator blocked the way:
“The academy’s important land, uninvited people are not allowed to enter.”
The man was sharp-tongued and condescending, an Immortal Zun ninth grade cultivator.
Qin Li froze for a moment and said, “Who are you, and how come I’ve never seen you before!”
“Ridiculous, you actually haven’t even heard of my great name, I’m a registered disciple of the Sword Division, a Crow Immortal Zun, ruling this zone.”The Crow Immortal Exalt was smug.
Qin Li frowned slightly, the academy didn’t seem to have the term named disciple, it seemed that some changes had occurred after being away for so long, “Oh! Can you get out of the way? I want to enter the secret realm!”
“Bold!”
Immortal Crow droned coldly, “The secret realm of the academy is a holy land in the Western Region, you are not qualified to enter as a mere casual cultivator. It looks like you’re here to participate in the Path of Refined Heart test and need to leave behind some collateral things.”
Qin Li’s frown deepened, the academy never had such rules, “Listening to you, what do you want.”
“Her sword!”The Crow Immortal Sovereign pointed straight at Yun Shiyu’s Rainheart Sword, his face full of greed.
