If possible, I hope time will stop at this moment.

——If possible, I hope to travel back in time and strangle myself to death.

At the same time and in the same place, two people hugging each other had completely different ideas.

Xi Che felt that the time he was held in Chu Yan's arms was like a year, and every moment was unbearable, so he only held on for a short while before pushing him away.

"It's getting late. Let's explore the surroundings and go back early."

Chu Yan understood Xi Che's intention, so he nodded and helped Xi Che stand up from the ground.

Just now, in order to break the influence of the resentment accumulated in the Land of Bones on Xi Che's emotions, Chu Yan used magic to take him to the end quickly. Now looking back at the road he had walked, it still seemed as if there was no end. Being misunderstood by Xi Che as a powerful demon was actually a good thing for Chu Yan. He no longer had to hide and could do his best to protect Xi Che. So he was the one who performed the lighting magic along the way and did not arouse Xi Che's suspicion.

Xi Che used the lighting spell to look around and found that the end of this side was no different from the entrance. There was nothing but bones. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. What Xi Che was disappointed about was not that Bi Yuan died and he couldn't take him back, but that he couldn't trace the source.

Now finding Bi Yuan's whereabouts is no longer Xi Che's main purpose. The most important thing is to find out the reasons for the formation of the land of bones and the reasons for the disappearance of the students.

Xi Che thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Oh, I thought of a way, we can try to summon the spirits. Do you remember where we found this sign?"

When Chu Yan heard the word "summon the spirits", he frowned subconsciously: "Summon the spirits? Isn't that..." "

It's a sorcery."

Xi Che interrupted him and directly expressed his concerns. Although he still had a smile on his face, his tone was somewhat provocative: "You are a demon yourself, disguising yourself as a human and lurking in the academy of the God of Bright Light. You must have no good intentions, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about good and evil. If you don't dare, I'll do it myself."

After he said that, he turned around and walked back the way he came. The real God of Bright Light heard Xi Che's "treasonous" remarks, but had no choice but to follow him: "I didn't say I didn't dare. We have shared life and death. Don't abandon me at every turn."

Xi Che snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to him. Chu Yan said again: "Besides, if you go there alone, you will be affected by the resentment here. I can at least protect you."

Chu Yan had a good memory and quickly found the place where Bi Yuan's bones were scattered. As he went deeper into the hinterland, Xi Che felt his heart turbulent again, but with his previous experience, he knew that he was affected by his emotions, so he forced himself to hold back.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping on the top of his head, and a refreshing spiritual power flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness, which made Xi Che feel refreshed.

The person who did this was naturally Chu Qi.

Xi Che thanked him somewhat uncomfortably, and without caring what he would say next, he sat down cross-legged where he found the metal sign.

Xi Che hesitated for a moment, but still put his finger into his mouth, bit his fingertip, then squeezed the wound and dripped blood onto Bi Yuan's corpse.

This is the art of summoning spirits. He hesitated because the power required for this spell is too great and he might fail with his current abilities.

But there is no other way, so I still have to give it a try.

In his previous life, Xi Che was a martial arts fanatic who was not particular about food or meat. No matter whether it was elixirs, magical instruments or spells, good or evil, as long as it was different from the knowledge he had learned in his nine years of compulsory education, he was willing to study it with all his heart. He showed this trait when he was the God of War in the Nine Netherworld, and he accepted all "evil arts" that were expressly forbidden by the God Realm. Later, he fell into depravity and became more unscrupulous. He not only studied but also created many "evil arts".

Condemning spirits is one of them.

However, his power is not as strong as before, and he cannot summon spirits at will. The only thing he can rely on is the little power left in the white tiger.

Xi Che closed his eyes, drew a magic circle in the air, and silently said in his heart: White Tiger, it's up to you.

The white tiger immediately jumped onto Xi Che's head and roared towards the void. Xi Che pointed his bleeding finger at the center of the magic circle and chanted, "Command the ghosts, why bother with reincarnation? Come to me quickly to enjoy my flesh and blood."

After he finished chanting the incantation, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up with the magic circle as the center, sweeping across the white bones on the ground.

Chu Yan watched all this from the side and couldn't help but frown - no wonder after Asa went down to the mortal world, news spread in Langfeng Pavilion that he was in cahoots with the devil. The magic he was using now was extremely extraordinary, interfering with the cause and effect of reincarnation, and was naturally forbidden by the Nine Netherworld Divine Realm.

Xi Che had no mind to pay attention to other things. After the whirlwind started, some fragments and images began to appear in Xi Che's sea of ​​consciousness like a kaleidoscope. This is a way to communicate with ghosts. They have been dead for so long that many of them can't even condense their souls. Naturally, it is impossible for them to jump out and tell Xi Che what happened. Xi Che can only establish contact with the summoned souls through the spell just now and directly read their remaining memories.

However, Xi Che is currently very weak, so most of the clips in the revolving lantern are pitch black and cannot be seen clearly. Only some small clips can be seen.

The first clip was in a huge cave, where Bi Yuan was standing in a line with many people. But these people, including Bi Yuan, are obviously abnormal. They seem to have lost their minds and cannot control their bodies. Their hands and feet were tied with chains that were connected to a very high place, and some liquid seemed to be flowing on the chains.

The second clip is still about him walking out of the cave in a daze with a group of people. His vision also becomes very strange, as if the scene is reflected by a convex lens. There are also traces of blood around, which is very strange.

In the third clip, the chains on these people's hands and feet are gone. They have completely lost control and are rushing towards the village at the foot of the mountain like zombies.

Then there were long stretches of black. Xi Che frowned, trying to see clearly what the person controlling them looked like. He forced his memory back to the first fragment. He wanted to see clearly what was connected to the chain.

But this was too difficult for him now. Xi Che's finger, which was pointing at the center of the magic circle, began to tremble, and the picture froze at the place where all the chains were gathered together, stuck there without moving.

Damn it... Just a little bit higher...

- White Tiger!

Xi Che was sweating profusely. He called out to Baihu in his sea of ​​consciousness, but what responded to him was Baihu's hoarse voice: This is the limit, get out quickly!

Xi Che frowned tightly, and his cheeks began to flush abnormally - but he was almost able to see the key scene! Xi Che had a hunch that this matter must be related to him. The scenes and arrangements he saw always had a subtle sense of familiarity, and gave him the feeling that they were very similar to the arrangement of his cave when he was King Shen.

He had to take a look...

At this moment, Xi Che suddenly heard a whistling sound of wind coming towards him. He suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a skeleton not far from him suddenly stand up. Immediately afterwards, the white bones that had long been decayed around them also stood up from the ground one after another with a "clucking" sound. Green phosphorous fire ignited on each of the bones, and they slowly walked towards Xi Che.

Chu Yan had been watching from the side, and when he saw this situation he hurriedly said, "Quickly put away the magic circle!"

Xi Che naturally knew that he had to put away the magic circle, but he couldn't! His hand was sucked into the magic circle, and the blood on his fingers formed a line and flowed out continuously - he originally just wanted to summon Bi Yuan's soul, but he didn't know what went wrong, and the ghosts around him smelled the scent of fresh blood, and came one after another to snatch his blood.

This scene was even scarier than a zombie siege. Xi Che wasn't paying attention when several skeletons appeared in front of him, face to face. Eye to eye, especially these bones, some of which had not yet completely decayed, with bits of rotten flesh hanging from the eye sockets, and maggots constantly popping out of there, it was so disgusting that Xi Che almost vomited on the spot.

Condemning spirits was originally a method of using the Yin, which included summoning spirits and arresting spirits. The summoned Yin spirits could even directly serve as Xi Che's subordinates. But having such a bunch of ugly-looking subordinates is really scary.

What’s even more frightening is that there are so many bones here. If he continues like this, Xi Che will be sucked into raisins by the ghosts here in less than half an hour.

Xi Che tried to pull his hand back with sweat all over his forehead, but he couldn't move it no matter what he did. The number of white bones burning with green phosphorous fire increased. Chu Yan finally understood the current situation. To put it in simple terms, Xi Che overestimated his own abilities and used magic that was too powerful, resulting in backlash.

Does he think he is still the God of War Athas...

Chu Yan pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and grabbed into the void, and a sword was held in his hand. The sword gradually took shape starting from the hilt, with the jade sheath shining coldly. There was no murderous aura, only sharpness. It seemed as if it was pulled out of thin air (harmony). When it was fully revealed, a bird with phoenix feathers, three legs, armor and double pupils was embossed on the white jade-like hilt. On the bird's head were two large characters - Taiyi.

Taiyi Sword is Chu Yan’s natal magic weapon.

Chu Yan grasped the Taiyi sword and slashed fiercely at the magic circle drawn by Xi Che. The magic circle broke into pieces of crystal fragments that scattered in the void, and the blood line that was originally connected to the magic circle was also broken. As the magic circle shattered, the white bones that had become vigorous lost their support and immediately scattered to the ground with a "crash".

Xi Che lost too much blood and suddenly felt dizzy and fell backwards. Upon seeing this, Chu Yan hurriedly reached out to catch Xi Che's body, then picked him up and spun around, performing a ritual and instantly returning to the ground from underground.

Xi Che in his arms had completely fainted. After a rough examination, Chu Yan discovered that he had not only lost too much blood, but also had a faint black aura on his face due to the backlash of the spell just now.

Chu Yan frowned tightly - this troublemaker... just like before, always likes to take unconventional approaches and make people worry.

As for the entrance to the cave, it's very weird, so it's better to seal it up.
