Chapter 35 Everyone he knew was causing trouble for him Liu Wuhuan...

Yu Yao/Text

He was surprised and puzzled that he could be called out by name even from such a distance. He even thought that his disguised face had fallen off. But after exchanging glances with Chu Yan beside him, he also saw obvious doubt in his eyes.

Chu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with his transformation.

So why were they seen through at a glance? With so many people around, the young master shouldn't have noticed me all of a sudden.

This young leader was obviously a very powerful person among the group. After he pointed at Xi Che, the others made way for him, and Xi Che could not escape even if he wanted to. The young leader stared at Xi Che, and from his expression he must let him go over.

Xi Che was just wondering what to do when Chu Yan suddenly grabbed his hand and led him towards the young master. He whispered, "It's okay, I'm here."

Xi Che thought that he was not afraid, but being interrupted by him, he could not say anything else, so he had to bite the bullet and come in front of the young master. The young master was not interested in Chu Yan beside him, and only stared at Xi Che. He looked at him for a long time, as if to confirm, and ordered his subordinates: "You guys distribute the remaining rice, and you, come with me."

The last sentence he said was to Xi Che.

At this time, Chu Yan gently blocked Xi Che behind him and looked at the young master: "I must go with him."

The young master seemed to notice Chu Yan beside Xi Che at this time, and frowned slightly: "I don't need you."

"Then you can't take him away."

The young master didn't know what he was in a hurry for, and he didn't even argue with Chu Yan. He turned around and walked forward: "If you want to follow, come on! Hurry up!"

At this stage, Xi Che was completely confused about the situation. Judging from his attitude towards Chu Yan, it was obvious that the young master did not see through their transformation, and it was not for this reason that he wanted Xi Che to go with him. He seemed to just want to talk to him alone.

What does he want to say? Could it be someone he knows?

But he did not remember having such an acquaintance. Whether in his previous life or this life, it was the first time that Xi Che knew about the Goutu clan. However, with Chu Yan by his side, there didn't seem to be anything to worry about, so Xi Che decided to adapt to the situation.

The two of them followed the Young Master into the mountain that was emitting purple light. In fact, along the way, Xi Che felt like he was being held hostage. The Young Master's men kept a close eye on them, as if they were afraid that they would do something bad to the Young Master.

At the foot of the mountain there was a magnificent palace, which was the residence of the young master. He led them into the palace and then waved his men away.

"Please sit down."

Xi Che was very confused when he saw the attitude of the young master, but since the other party treated him with courtesy, he didn't know what to say. So he raised his hand and clasped his fists towards the young leader, saying: "I wonder what the young leader wants that requires you to bring us here specially to talk."

The young leader frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness between his brows. His eyes were fixed on Xi Che: "Are you Azas?"

"..."

Xi Che was shocked and speechless. If he said that he could see through his identity before the transformation, he could still understand why this person could strip off two layers of his vests at once. Not only was the transformation useless, but even reincarnation seemed unnecessary.

Chu Yan asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

The young master still stared at Xi Che: "Don't worry about who I am. Just tell me, are you Asas?"

Xi Che pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I am Asas. How did you recognize me? Who are you?"

The other party said this directly. He thought there was no need to hide it anymore and it was better to confess.

“Really?!”

Upon hearing this, the young master stood up abruptly and took two steps towards Xi Che. Chu Yan stood up almost at the same time and stood in front of Xi Che.

Although the God of War Azas has many believers, he also has many enemies. Chu Yan has no way of judging whether the young master in front of him is an enemy or a friend.

However, Xi Che did not sense any malice from the Young Sect Leader. He gently tugged at Chu Yan's sleeve and walked out from behind him: "So why did you recognize me, who are you?"

The Young Sect Leader sighed slightly: "I recognize your aura... Although I have only met you once, I recognized you. At that time, you were standing next to that man... I remember that he valued you very much."

"That man?"

What's going on? He was sure that this was the first time he had met the Young Sect Leader today.

"His name is Liu Wuhuan, and he is the leader of the demon clan."

When Xi Che heard this name, he subconsciously glanced at Chu Yan beside him - this name only reminded Xi Che of the bad memories of the battle between gods and demons.

However, Chu Yan should not have heard of Liu Wuhuan's name. During the war between gods and demons, the most "powerful" person should be him, King Shen. So Xi Che explained: "Liu Wuhuan is a friend I met in the Demon Tribe. At that time, I had just arrived in the Demon Tribe not long ago. After meeting him, I felt that we were like-minded and became friends. Later, he told me that he was the leader of the Demon Tribe, and he... was in a bad situation. He hoped that I could help him. He wanted to make me the leader of the Ten Halls of the Demon King, but I disagreed and only agreed to be his protector. So he made me the King of Shen."

Chu Yan held Xi Che's hand tightly, as if he wanted to comfort him: "That's all in the past."

But when the young master heard Xi Che's description, he was very excited. Dong: "Yes, that's right. You are King Shen, the person Liu Wuhuan values ​​the most! I went to find him that day... He didn't let me enter the front hall. I saw you through the wooden fence, and you were chatting happily. I remember the aura on you. They all said that you are the god of war Azas, a god who descended from the Nine Netherworld to the Demon World... You have such a good relationship with him, do you know where he is? Take me to see him!"

Xi Che frowned - this young master is really not simple. From what he said, he just glanced at him through the fence, but he remembered him, and he remembered him for so long?

"That was two or three hundred years ago. King Shen Asas died two hundred years ago, and I returned to the human world only a few months ago. I haven't seen Wuhuan since then, so how could I know his whereabouts?"

Xi Che asked the young master: "How do you know Liu Wuhuan? You don't look like you are two hundred years old."

After hearing his words, the young master just stood there in a daze and did not answer. Xi Che then asked Chu Yan in a low voice: "Can Goutu live so long?"

Chu Yan shook his head: "If I remember correctly, Goutu's lifespan is no different from that of ordinary humans."

"How could it be...how could this be...I met you, and I thought I had finally found a clue..."

The young master seemed very disappointed with the answer. He subconsciously took two steps back and sat back in his chair, looking very depressed: "This is the last hope of our people."

Xi Che thought, since he had come to this point, he might as well take the opportunity to find out the ins and outs of the matter: "Young master, I haven't seen Liu Wuhuan for a long time, but what exactly do you mean by the last hope of the people? If I meet him in the future, I can inform you again."

The young leader finally came to his senses, anger accumulating in his eyes: "Liu Wuhuan...it was he who harmed my people, it was he who harmed our Goutu clan!"

Next, the young leader told a story that sounded very bizarre.

The young leader's name is Yue Tongqing. A long, long time ago, Yue Tongqing was just the son of the patriarch of the Goutu clan, and the Goutu clan was not what it is today. The Gou Tu clan was once the darling of the Jiuyou Divine Realm, more favored than the human race. Legend has it that this was because the patriarch of the Gou Tu clan once saved a god, and that god bestowed a special ability on the Gou Tu clan.

When the will and beliefs of all the tribesmen reach an extremely consistent level, they can be connected to the Nine Netherworld - this actually gives them a chance to be saved. For example, when this land suffers from natural disasters and man-made disasters and longs for salvation, the gods of the Nine Netherworld will notice it.

But legends are just legends after all, and no one has ever tried to see if it is feasible. The successive patriarchs of the Goutu clan did not think this was a good thing, so the clan has been living in seclusion since then. Things changed a lot until the year Yue Tongqing came of age. Yue Tongqing didn't want to live in seclusion in this place and yearned for the outside world, so he secretly went out to travel without telling his father.

He met Liu Wuhuan during his travels.

Yue Tongqing had just arrived in the secular world and didn't even know what silver was. He soon got into trouble and was almost deceived into a black factory and sold as a slave. It was Liu Wuhuan who saved him. The two were of similar age and hit it off almost immediately and quickly became friends. Yue Tongqing was very naive at that time. Although his father repeatedly warned him not to reveal his identity as a member of the Gou Tu clan, Liu Wuhuan was his first friend, so Yue Tongqing told him about it.

He also took him back to Goutu clan as a guest.

At that time, his father was furious, and Yue Tongqing even had a cold war with his father about it.

Later, Liu Wuhuan left, but after he left, a kind of black tree began to grow on the land of Gou Tu clan, which was the black beech tree!

This tree caused the entire Goutu clan's fertile land with abundant grass and water to become a barren land, and their people were either leaving or dying. My father believed that it was Yue Tongqing who brought back strangers to harm the tribe members. He felt guilty towards the tribe members and soon died of illness in anger and guilt.

Yue Tongqing never believed that it was Liu Wuhuan who caused them to be like this, but facing the devastated land, he, as the new leader, also had to take responsibility. He couldn't let the Gou Tu clan disappear from this land.

Yue Tongqing tried many methods, but none of them could solve the problem of this black beech forest. Even if he pulled them out by the roots, they would grow back again. Just when he was in despair, Liu Wuhuan returned to the Goutu clan again. He told Yue Tongqing that the tree was called black beech, and only the ferocious beast Taotie could uproot it. At that time, the land of the Gou Tu family would bear precious fruits again.

The ferocious beast Taotie no longer exists in the world; they became extinct in the era of the ancestor gods. Liu Wuhuan took out a seed and told Yue Tongqing that as long as he ate the seed, he would become a Taotie.

He asked him if he was willing to become a Taotie for the sake of his people.

Of course Yue Tongqing was willing, and he even thanked Liu Wuhuan for bringing him hope.

So from then on, every spring, Yue Tongqing would turn into a glutton and devour all the black beech trees growing on the land of Goutu.

The black beech caused him great pain. His body was digesting the trees, but his stomach felt like it was being cut open and his heart ached as if it was about to burst. Yue Tongqing thought he was going to die every time, but he would wake up again every time.

After being devoured by him, the black beech will turn green and produce blood-colored diamonds.

These red diamonds brought hope to the Goutu clan. The clan members picked the diamonds and exchanged them for food, thus surviving in this way.

Yue Tongqing seemed to be cursed. He could never die again. He had to undergo such a transformation every year and devour the black beech trees that grew again on the earth every year. Immortality is what many people dream of, but for Yue Tongqing, it is just a cycle of curses. But for the sake of his people, he had to do so and protect this land in this humble way. At the same time, a legend gradually spread among the Goutu clan. The clan members said that every spring, the God of Spring would descend on the land of the Goutu clan and bring them hope.

When Yue Tongqing said this, he took out a brocade bag from his sleeve with trembling fingers. He took out the contents of the brocade bag, which turned out to be an exquisite portrait.

"This is what my people saw, the appearance of the God of Spring... I don't know why it was like this, it was clearly me, a glutton eating black beech, but they saw him."

Xi Che saw the person in the portrait clearly and said subconsciously: "Is this... Wuhuan?"

"Yes, it's him, Liu Wuhuan."

Yue Tongqing said his name word by word, each word contained hatred, but also seemed to contain nostalgia.

Chu Yan also saw the portrait. The handsome young man in the portrait was exactly the same as the Spring Mango God in the White-Faced Ghost’s memory.

Yue Tongqing said: "Although there is no evidence yet, I can no longer deceive myself that this matter has nothing to do with Liu Wuhuan."

Chu Yan showed a thoughtful expression, but in the end he said nothing.

Xi Che didn't know what to say. Even if he heard Yue Tongqing tell such a story, he didn't believe that Liu Wuhuan would do such things. This matter was too bizarre, and in his impression, Liu Wuhuan was not that powerful.

Yue Tongqing slammed his hands on the table: "After the Gou Tu family was exiled, I could only use human souls to gather Yin and break through the barrier here. My people gradually became what they are today... They called me the young leader and asked them to capture living people for me. I don't want to do this, and I don't want to hurt anyone... But I can only leave in this way and go outside to exchange some food to feed my people."

Yue Tongqing suddenly turned his head and stared at Xi Che. His eyes were wet, not knowing whether it was because of anger or pain: "Tell me the whereabouts of Liu Wuhuan! I don't want to live like this anymore, I'm too painful. I won't seek revenge on him, I just want to be free!"

Xi Che couldn't help but feel sympathy when he heard him shouting miserably. He inexplicably felt that Yue Tongqing did not admit that Wuhuan did it in his heart. He wanted to see him, perhaps to confirm Wuhuan's innocence in order to get psychological relief.

He wanted to prove that he had not trusted the wrong person...

He must have been living in guilt towards his tribe members over the years.

Xi Che slowed down his tone: "Young Master, calm down, I really don't know where he is, and are you sure it's really him? Could there be any misunderstanding?"

"There is no misunderstanding! I can't think of another person..."

Xi Che didn't know what to say and could only look at him helplessly. Yue Tongqing seemed to be certain that Xi Che must know the whereabouts of Liu Wuhuan: "Since you refuse to tell us his whereabouts, you can't leave here. Come on, lock them up in the dungeon! They are not allowed to leave until they tell us the whereabouts of Liu Wuhuan!"

"..." Damn, he is in trouble for no reason! Why do the people he used to know always cause him trouble! This is true for Jin Lingzi and Liu Wuhuan too!

Before Xi Che could think of any words to protest his injustice, he was arrested by Yue Tongqing's men. Chu Yan actually allowed them to arrest him and did not seem to want to resist at all.

Xi Che turned his head and glared at him—Why don’t you take action! They can't really be arrested and put in jail!

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows at him expressionlessly.

Huh? What's the meaning? Could it be that he has something to say?
