474 Return Home (1/2)

”Where is Wang Lu?”

The moment she noticed that Wang Lu was missing, Qiong Hua immediately felt her heart tightened and quickly asked the rest, especially Zhou Mumu.

”He…” Zhou Mumu who had the best friendship relation with Wang Lu opened her mouth, but she looked a bit confused and filled with hesitation. ”He, disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

”Disappeared?”

”He was the first to enter the void, and I was behind him. But before I stepped into the void, I only saw half of his body. The other half was hidden in the void, and it looked as if he had been divided into two pieces. And then he said to me…”

When she spoke to this, Zhou Mumu's throat subconsciously made a swallowing movement before she continued, ”He said, he forgot something and wanted to go back to take it.”

…

The four people on the scene could not say any word. There was something that he forgot so he wanted to go back to take it… did he forget his head?

Did he not know the price that Qiong Hua had to pay to find a gap in the new demon world that was known to be unbreakable? In order to find this path, Qiong Hua herself had taken the risk of backfire from the Kill Immortal Sword, and then the rest would have been exposed to the pressure from the black tide.

After this life-risking move, they finally caught the opportunity to break through and finally managed to escape the cage of the new demon world, yet he went back again?

After a long while, Qiong Hua said, ”In doing things, Wang Lu is habitually unexpected, but each time, he has his own consideration… He would not just walk blindly in an alley. I think this time he wants to do something that he does not want us to know.”

Zhou Mumu asked, ”With how thick his skin is, even if he goes naked in front of us, I'm afraid he wouldn't even break a sweat. Why does he want to hide the truth from us?”

Qiong Hua didn't answer but merely said indifferently, ”There's a lot of turbulence in this void, so we shouldn't be staying here for long. Moreover, I can't keep my guiding clue for too long. Thus, we should go back to Nine Regions now. We can discuss the other matter later.”

”Hey, are you going to leave Wang Lu behind just like that?”

Qiong Hua asked, ”Are you willing to stay here with him?”

”He…” Zhou Mumu was somewhat tongue-tied. The friendship between her and Wang Lu was pretty good, but it was still far from 'sharing life and death together' level. Not to mention that as the lead disciple of Kunlun Sect, she could not be that impulsive.

”But at least he's our teammate, so let's wait for him for a little while…”

Qiong Hua added, ”Do you think the matter that he wants to do could be solved in a short time? If not, what's the point of waiting here for a moment?”

”...” Zhou Mumu finally had nothing to say.

The only objection voice disappeared, so the four people's journey was finally settled. With Qiong Hua and her Kill Immortal Sword leading the way, they returned to Nine Regions from the void turbulence.

Along the way, none of them said any word.

A cultivator with cultivation base of Jindan Stage was still far from being able to travel freely through worlds. Qiong Hua was also relying on several of her sect's treasures to firmly grasp the Kill Immortal Sword. Similarly, the other three who followed behind her did not have the time to attend other things.

No one mentioned about Wang Lu's matter anymore.

While leading at the front, Qiong Hua inwardly sighed.

Unlike the other people, she… had mostly guessed correctly the intention of Wang Lu.

It would have been an unusually difficult choice for him, but she believed that Wang Lu would be able to do a good job.

Although the relationship between the two was not good, Qiong Hua never underestimated Wang Lu. He was… someone who never disappointed his teammate.

—

On the other side, after leaving his team, Wang Lu indeed had a task that he must complete on his own.

”Heh, it's a familiar land and familiar air.”

After setting his foot on the blood-red plain, Wang Lu could not help but express his emotion.

Just half a month ago, he broke through the void and came here from the Nine Region… Initially, he thought that he would see a world with a very different civilization yet as strong as Nine Regions. However, he didn't expect it to be a complete wasteland.

This was the demon world. Wang Lu had actually returned to the demon world.

Qiong Hua's Kill Immortal Sword cut through the space and pierced a road that led the Nine Regions, however, Wang Lu did not quickly return to Nine Regions, but rather returned to the demon world from the void—of course, when he entered the demon world, he was once again bound by the fetters of the special structure of the new demon world.

At this time, he was breathing the familiar air, standing on the familiar land. Wang Lu could clearly feel that his connection with the Nine Regions was once again isolated, including the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman and all other props.

Regardless, it was of no matter to him, because this time's visit the demon world, he was ready.

The blood-red clouds in the sky were still rolling. Arguably, when he followed Qiong Hua, it was the time when the black tide arrived. However, the black tide was only everywhere in the new demon world, it could not completely cover the whole demon world. At least in certain places, the black tide would never get close to the forbidden area.

Wang Lu took a total of two steps from the new demon world to the void and from the void to the demon world, but these two steps consolidated the essence of his cultivation base of Daoist Master of Jindan Stage. Each of these two steps contained an infinite number of calculations and used quite a lot of magical treasures.

Because if not so, how could he come out of the void to arrive here?

Wang Lu looked up and saw before him a mountain.

A mountain formed by the corpses of hundreds of millions of creatures.

Which was also the main body of the new demon world.
