dark night.

War broke out everywhere.

The situation is especially worse in the Central Plains.

Under the cover of night, Li Ziye walked forward, looking at the chaos in the Central Plains, but did not intervene, and instead walked straight towards the capital of Dashang.

The chaos in the Central Plains had long been expected. With the arrival of polar night, the era of dynasties and large-scale armies making rules has passed, and the order in the Central Plains must be rebuilt.

In comparison, the period of pain that Nanling or the Western Regions, where order is established through martial arts, will undoubtedly be shorter.

"Jiuzhou is really completely different from other big worlds."

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Phoenix spoke with emotion, "No wonder the gods and those monsters all want to fight for this place."

“This is the human world.”

Li Ziye said calmly, "Gods and demons, get out of the way."

As the man and the phoenix were talking, their figures seemed to shrink into an inch, and they moved forward in an instant with one step, at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, Li Ziye walked outside the city of Dashang. Looking at the imperial city in front of him, he walked straight into it without stopping.

In front of the city, the guards stood there and didn't even realize that someone had entered.

Not long after, in the inner courtyard of Li Garden, a cold wind blew gently, and a white-haired figure appeared out of nowhere. Even the masters in the mansion were unaware of it.

"who!"

In Taotao's room, Huanzhu was the first to react. Just as she was about to stand up and take action, she saw a flash before her eyes and the white-haired figure had entered the room.

"It's not someone, it's your brother."

Inside the room, Li Ziye responded, then waved and closed the door. He glanced at the three girls in front of him and said with a smile, "Huanzhu, Taotao, long time no see."

"Brother!"

"Young master!"

When Huanzhu and Taotao saw the person coming, they both showed surprise on their faces.

Beside the two of them, the Ghost Killer Girl was obviously much calmer, sitting there, motionless.

Li Ziye stepped forward, sat down beside him, and asked, "Are you used to it?"

"Yeah." The ghost girl nodded slightly and responded.

"Used to it."

Li Ziye smiled, patted the table and said, "Everyone sit down and talk."

Huanzhu and Taotao came back to their senses from their excitement and quickly sat down.

"Huanzhu, tell me what happened in Jiuzhou these days."

Li Ziye stretched out his hands to warm them on the brazier and said, "Please give more details."

"it is good."

Huanzhu nodded and recounted all the major and minor events in Kyushu over the past few months, especially the matters of the old gods and Changxi, which he described in great detail.

"Senior Linglong."

After listening to Huanzhu's story, Li Ziye sighed in his heart and whispered softly, "Sure enough, only sacrifice can protect the world."

Ye Linglong's sacrifice and Tianjian's breakthrough, although there is no inevitable cause and effect, is also one of the key factors.

"Brother, those old gods in heaven?"

Seeing that her brother didn't pay attention to the matter of the old gods, Huanzhu couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't bother."

Li Ziye gathered his thoughts and said, "The troubles of the old gods cannot be solved in one or two days. They will come down sooner or later."

Old gods?

The name Chang Xi came up with is a good one.

"Oh, brother, there is one more thing."

Huanzhu seemed to have thought of something and continued, "After returning from Wangsen, Wen Ruyu's master, Old Wu, has been forging a sword. The material he used is the copper from the mountain that is ten thousand years old."

"Oh?"

When Li Ziye heard the news, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Is it cast?"

"It's almost done." Huanzhu replied.

"In Yuzhou City?" Li Ziye asked.

"Yeah." Huanzhu nodded in response.

"That's a bit troublesome."

Li Ziye thought about it and said, "Forget it, I'll go there when I have the chance."

"Brother, don't you want others to know that you're back?" Huanzhu asked puzzledly.

"Correct."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "The fewer people who know about this, the better. Huanzhu, Taotao, keep my return a secret, and don't tell anyone in Yuzhou City."

"Yes!" Huanzhu and Taotao responded respectfully.

"Okay, I'll go to the Imperial Academy to see the head of the Confucian school first. If there's anything else, I'll contact you using the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note." After saying that, Li Ziye stood up and walked outside.

"See you off, brother." Huanzhu immediately stood up to see him off.

Li Ziye waved his hand, and left without staying any longer.

"Taotao."

In the room, Huanzhu looked at her brother's disappearing back and said solemnly, "My brother seems to have changed a lot."

In the past, my brother would definitely tell the people in Yuzhou City about his return, or at least tell my adoptive father and eldest sister.

"Maybe the young master has his own ideas."

Tao Tao responded, "Now that the young master is no longer the head of the Li family, his style of doing things will definitely change."

While the two were talking, Li Ziye walked by outside Li Garden and headed straight towards the Imperial Academy.

In the dark night, the capital seemed unusually quiet. The nights during the polar night era were quieter than ever before.

If there is any exception, it must be the red-light district.

In troubled times, people find it difficult to vent their anger, and the business of brothels is, on the contrary, better than ever.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Ziye arrived outside the Imperial Academy and walked in without disturbing anyone.

Soon, Li Ziye appeared out of nowhere in front of the east courtyard, looked at the small courtyard in front, and pushed the door open.

Inside the wooden house, that old figure lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, his breath very weak.

By the old man's side, Faju took care of him day and night and never left his side for even a step.

"Farru is the master."

Without any warning, Li Ziye appeared in the wooden house and called out.

When Fa Ru saw the person coming, he was shocked at first, then he showed a look of surprise and asked, "When did you come back?"

"today."

Li Ziye answered, looked at the old man on the bed, and asked, "How is Mr. Rushou?"

"very bad."

Fa Ru's face darkened slightly, and he replied, "It's completely exhausted."

After listening to Fa Ru's words, Li Ziye stepped forward, came to the bedside, reached out and held the old man's hand, and the true energy in his body continued to pour into it.

But it's all in vain.

The true energy entered the old man's body, but it was like a drop in the ocean. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without causing any ripples.

"Phoenix."

Seeing this, Li Ziye asked, "Do you have any solution?"

"No."

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Phoenix shook his head gently and replied, "There is no need to do anything. This old man has no chance of recovery."

This was the first time in a thousand years that he had seen such a powerful human being.

No, not just the strong humans.

Even with all the gods added in, this old man is still the strongest, bar none.

"came back?"

Suddenly, the old man on the bed opened his eyes and looked at the white-haired young man in front of him. A tired but gentle smile appeared on his old face, and he said, "I thought I couldn't wait any longer."

"How can I not wait?"

When Li Ziye saw the old man wake up, tears flashed in his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He replied, "I always keep my words!"
