On the barren lands.
Jiao Wuyu and Xu Huan, along with others, kept traveling until they finally rested in a mountain area.
Xu Huan was followed by several fellow disciples, so alive and so dead.
"Congratulations." Jiao Wuyu smiled and said, "You are free now."
Xu Huan gave a bitter smile and slowly shook his head.
His previous wish was to escape the cage.
But after truly escaping, he suddenly didn't know where to go.
This era was too unfamiliar to him.
He felt like a person from 280,000 years ago who had traveled through ti.
"Do you know who that extrely mysterious presence is?" Jiao Wuyu asked.
"I am not sure either."
Xu Huan said, "But looking at it now, it may not have co for us."
"Oh?" Jiao Wuyu was surprised.
"From the whole event, the ultimate beneficiary isn't just , but also him. The other party gained a black Three Flowers."
Xu Huan said, "That person's goal might have been, from the beginning, the tomb owner, and I was rely the bait to lure her out."
"The other party managed to lure the tomb owner out, and sohow helped her awaken, then at the mont of opening Three Flowers, employed so thod to have her transfer it."
Jiao Wuyu nodded.
This was definitely a brilliant chain tactic.
"That person must be an entity from ancient tis." Jiao Wuyu remarked, "Seems to be from the No-Life Sect... very skilled in manipulation."
"Indeed." Xu Huan smiled.
Jiao Wuyu nodded.
But Jiao Wuyu hadn't said everything.
She had seen such a scene before.
When she went to the Jiao Family Stronghold ruins to rescue Li Youzhu, she encountered such a group.
They too had cut down shadow archers, and among them were those cultists.
Swinging knives to commit suicide while madly shouting.
Things like "Vacuum Ho," "Great Ancient God," "Eternal Old Saint"...
It was altogether horrifying!
It seems, those cultists were tributing to them!
Sword Casting Manor, perhaps had beco a secret base for them.
Even Li Youzhu might have beco a mber of this mysterious cult?
In her mind, she thought:
"Li Youzhu didn't just ask to rescue Xu Huan but also sought additional help by requesting assistance from this cult's patriarch to save people?"
Multiple calculations, very much like Li Youzhu's style.
Moreover, Li Youzhu loved causing trouble and making many friends.
Years ago, during Xu Huan's awakening, it was him who discovered Xu Huan had issues and hinted it wildly.
Otherwise, Xu Huan wouldn't have noticed anything amiss, and nothing would have happened afterward.
On the flip side, Li Youzhu's trouble-making ways led to him running his own family into the ground.
Soone like him, full of sches, it's no surprise he attracted so cult.
Who knows what kind of trump cards he has up his sleeve?
Only it's uncertain if joining that cult will bring danger.
Jiao Wuyu sighed, "Where will you go next?"
"I want to save people, my ntor." Xu Huan thought for a mont; it was the only goal he could find.
"She's still in Xinyi Continent's prison?" Jiao Wuyu asked.
"Hmm." Xu Huan nodded.
"That's troubleso."
Jiao Wuyu said indifferently, "To rescue you Ghost, there's a need for a key, and to save soone from the One Heart Realm, you must find their heart to rescue them."
One Heart Realm, the core is the heart.
Their head can regenerate, the Five Elents can regenerate, no matter how they're dismbered, they can grow back.
Such an existence is incredibly terrifying.
The Magic Copper mine, utterly irrelevant.
Nor is it necessary for them to save heads, nor to rescue other body parts.
Just find that heart, all parts can regenerate on site.
At that ti.
The Magic Copper mine will also beco a dead mine, no longer revitalizing or growing.
Jiao Wuyu said, "For such an existence, the heart is the key to opening the prison."
Xu Huan certainly understood: "My ntor's heart is likely in the hands of Xinyi King, or it could even be in the faraway Capital City..."
There are two locations.
But which one, no one can say for sure.
After all, that's the old deity of a previous dynasty, and still alive.
Those who have survived till now are usually incredibly powerful, naturally defended heavily, preventing jailbreaks.
Moreover, since the country's founding, there's never been a jailbreak, no one has ever reclaid their heart.
"Are you going to get yourself killed?" Jiao Wuyu asked.
"No." Xu Huan said, "I plan to visit the old human cities to see if I can seek help."
The old dynasty's remnants wouldn't be easily exterminated.
In that era, many ancient Holy Lands, Great Sects, lasted far longer than today's Jiushui Dynasty.
They could even be traced back to the previous empire's previous empire.
Though defeated by Saints, they weren't foolish, leaving surviving forces hidden away.
The Court also turned a blind eye.
After all, beyond the Human Race, there were many Foreign Races, Dragons, Qilins, Sea Race, Sub-human...
They only consider "old humans" as one of the Foreign Races, and as long as you don't cause trouble, the Court won't bother with you.
Jiao Wuyu thought:
"I suppose going there will get you so support, Primordial Sacred Land's Sect Leader reputedly had great prestige in ancient tis, you might even run into your ntor's prehistoric friends."
"Then I'll first return to the Sea Race." Jiao Wuyu said, "I initially planned to go ho for a visit, but... got tempted by those rebels to join this attack."
"Contact if anything cos up." Xu Huan said.
The two bid farewell and went their separate ways.
...
Three days later.
Scaly Gate.
Above the ruins, most of the streets had been rebuilt, cultivators ca and went, using techniques to plant trees and build houses, and the roadside was again lush with green grass and flowers, slabs of stone paving were laid.
