In an unknown land, millions of ghosts are freed from their restraints, with ferocious faces full of hatred.

Amid the spreading resentment, Plain-clothed Figure stood quietly, with a calm face, not much change visible.

He is unyielding and proud, and his knees finally fall to the ground. His hands are stained with blood throughout his life. There are enemies, but there are also innocents.

A battle to send the gods away, Divine Continent millions of lives will be ruined, there is no excuse, no matter what the purpose is.

No one has the right to take the lives of others without authorization, not even gods, nor even those who know fate.

"Sorry"

A belated apology, knowing the fate and bowing, the plain clothes are stained with dust, and the black hair is stained with dust.

An apology came twenty years late. Among the millions of resentful spirits, a few good people in life dissipated their resentment and chose to forgive. However, more resentful spirits still had unabated hatred and soaring resentment.

"Marquis of Knowing Fate, blood debt can only be repaid with blood. You deserve death."

Old men, women, and children with hideous faces, with sinister energy lingering around them, and a mouthful of resentment to support them. How could they be forgiven so easily after having hated them for twenty years?

"The journey of knowing my destiny is not over yet. Before that, no one can take my life."

Nianqing Blade's front hit the ground, and the purple energy was majestic. Ning Chen stood up, looked at the resentful spirits in the sky, and said calmly, "If Ghost Maiden wakes up one day, Ghost Maiden will give you an explanation."

"How to explain?"

One after another, the resentful spirits looked at the purple energy in the knife with fear and said in a cold voice.

"At that time, I will leave it to you to do whatever you want and I will never resist," Ning Chen said.

Hearing the words, millions of Yin spirits circled and meditated. At the center of endless resentment, they stood quietly in plain clothes. The thoughts around them exuded majestic purple energy. With such strong pressure, all spirits did not dare to come even half a step closer.

"Marquis of Knowing Fate, remember what you said today, we will wait for you for a while longer."

After weighing for a long time, many resentful spirits made a decision, turned into a tide of resentment and submerged into Scroll of Chaos, and disappeared again into Heavenly Tome.

"Thank you"

Ning Chen responded calmly, waved his hand and took Scroll of Chaos away, turned around and left.

Outside the mountains, Moonlit Tower Master looked at Plain-clothed Figure walking in front, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.

He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but it seemed that was not the case.

However, Marquis of Knowing Fate has the power of faith from all living beings to protect his body. It is not easy for even a resentful spirit to hurt him.

"Sir, are you okay?" Ruoxi stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, let's go, it's time to leave," Ning Chen said softly with a smile on his face.

"Yeah"

Ruoxi responded lightly and followed up.

Ten days later, above the starry sky, Moonlit Tower Master looked at the beacon smoke in front of him and said, "Marquis of Knowing Fate, let's say goodbye. We are destined to see you again in the future."

"Take care" Ning Chen said calmly.

"Take care"

Moonlit Tower Master responded and immediately left with Hongluan.

The figure gradually disappeared in the starry sky. After a while, it was no longer visible. Ning Chen glanced at the maid beside him and said, "Ruoxi, let's go too."

Ruoxi nodded, looked at the beautiful starry sky, and said softly, "Master, can you tell me why those resentful spirits didn't take action? Did Master promise them something?"

She knew that although the young master's hands were stained with blood, he was definitely not someone who killed innocent people indiscriminately, let alone someone who shirked responsibility. It was difficult for the young master to be as ruthless as he was to his enemies when it came to the resentful spirits that innocent people turned into after their death.

"I promised something, but it doesn't matter. The top priority now is to get Time Restriction. Besides, all other things have been put aside for the time being," Ning Chen said calmly.

Ruoxi Hearing this, he sighed lightly in his heart and did not ask any more questions. Nine Cloud Heavenly City, in front of the thirty-third Heavenly Pillar, Hongyi looked ahead, alone, looking at Heavenly Pillar towering into the starry sky. Suddenly, looking back, a little brilliance flashed in his eyes.

He is finally here.

In the distance, two figures stepped forward. They were dressed in plain clothes in front of them. Their faces were delicate and peaceful. Only a pair of eyes were engraved with the wind and frost of the years.

"You're back," Phoenix Body looked at the two people walking towards him and said.

"Where is Yin'er?" Ning Chen asked.

"Go and fulfill the promise you made back then and repay the favors you owed," Phoenix Body said softly.

Ning Chen nodded, looked at the red-dressed Phoenix Body in front of him, and said, "You have worked hard this way, leave the rest to me."

"Find Scroll of God as soon as possible, otherwise our road will really come to an end."

Phoenix Body disappeared, turned into bits of starlight and merged into the main body. The soul returned and fell into a deep sleep.

Memories come back, with pain and tiredness, knowing the three bodies of fate, and after hundreds of calamities, even if the heart is as hard as stone, there will be times when I feel tired.

"Ji Yuqing"

On the thirty-third root Heavenly Pillar, among the many names, one name was so clear that Ning Chen glanced at it and immediately walked towards the Celestial City ahead.

Inside Nine Cloud Heavenly City, on the second floor of an inn, a man in purple clothes looked at the young man walking in the city, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Is the person Yan Jiushi is talking about him?.

The only people who can fight to a tie with Yan Jiushi, except those Ancient Road Enforcer and Starfield Venerable, are the people in front of you.

Feeling the unkind gaze from afar, Ning Chen looked over, but did not see anyone.

Is it an illusion?

"Sir, what's wrong?" Ruoxi asked in confusion.

"I don't know why, since we entered the city, I always feel like someone is watching us," Ning Chen said solemnly.

Ruoxi looked around and found no suspicious person except for the pedestrians coming and going.

At the same time, in the unknown space, Starfield Venerable walked out of the towering hall. After more than a year, Moonlit Tower Master also appeared for the first time, towering over the hall.

"Master, something happened on the ancient road, do you know?" the person in charge of Purple Star Starfield said seriously.

"Know a thing or two" Moonlit Tower Master nodded.

"Divine Mechanism, among us, you and Moonlit Tower Master are the best at the art of evolution. Would you like to join forces to see where these people come from?" asked the person in charge of Luojia Starfield.

"You can give it a try"

Divine Mechanism nodded, looked at the illusory figure on the other side, and said, "Lord, let's start."

Moonlit Tower Master nodded, waved his hands and formed a seal, not far apart. Divine Mechanism also cooperated attentively, opening the compass with dots of starlight, and sharing the numbers of heaven and earth.

The secret evolved, and the years went back. Four figures swept away from the mist of the star field. The powerful aura was shocking.

"Huh?"

Seeing the face of one of them, a strange color flashed in Moonlit Tower Master's eyes, it turned out to be him?

"Is there anything wrong?" the person in charge of All Heavens Starfield said.

"These people came out of the fog of Hongluan Star Domain's star field. I have already seen one of them. His strength is amazing. Even if we meet head-on, we may not be able to kill them," Moonlit Tower Master responded.

"Since the poster said this, he must have fought against this person before," the person in charge of Purple Star Starfield said in a solemn voice.

"Yeah"

Moonlit Tower Master nodded and said, "This person has died in my hands, but it was not by my own strength, but by the help of an unknown master."

Moonlit Tower Master did not say anything about knowing One Body, Three Transformations. People's hearts are unpredictable. When your own interests are not endangered, you Starfield Venerable can still give in to each other. However, once you know that Marquis of Knowing Fate has indeed endangered their strength, this patience will disappear in an instant.

Previously, in order to ward off the gods, all the lords had no choice but to send Trapping Immortal Sword. Now Marquis of Knowing Fate Phoenix Body has two fairy swords in hand. With the return of the original body, no one knows how powerful it is.

"So, now there are only three of these people left," said the person in charge of Luojia Starfield.

"If you want to find three experts at the pinnacle of reality or even at the True Realm level, it will be really difficult to find them if they focus on hiding their identities," Divine Mechanism said calmly.

"After they appeared, many of the Nine Kings died in battle. What I am most worried about is that there will be these people among the Nine Kings now," said the person in charge of Purple Star Starfield.

"Ancient Starry Road, it is inappropriate for us to get involved and let the law enforcers keep an eye on it, especially the current Nine Kings," Divine Mechanism said.

Everyone Starfield Venerable nodded, and waiting to see what happens is indeed the only way now. Ancient Battlefield is about to be opened, and there must be no accidents at this time.

"Where is Ninth Son of Ink Sect, where are you now?" asked the boss of Sky Mist Starfield.

"Nine Cloud Heavenly City" Divine Mechanism responded.

"How did you get there?"

The person in charge of Sky Mist Starfield frowned slightly and said, Ninth Son of Ink Sect started from Hongluan Star Domain. Logically speaking, it should not pass through Nine Cloud Heavenly City.

"He seems to be looking for someone," Divine Mechanism said calmly.

"Who is passing by on that road?" asked the person in charge of Purple Star Starfield.

"The two newly promoted kings, and Ji Yuqing" Divine Mechanism said calmly.

"Spirit Void Ji Family's daughter?" the person in charge of Sky Mist Starfield stared.

"It is said that the Ji family is a god and has Divine Bloodline in his body. Could it be that Ninth Son of Ink Sect wants to seize Ji Yuqing's bloodline power?" The person in charge of Spirit Void Starfield said with a dark expression.

"Not impossible"

The face of the person in charge of Purple Star Starfield also condensed and said, "This kid is not talented enough and his cultivation path has come to an end. If he can refine his bones with Divine Bloodline, he may be able to step into the Immortal Ascension Realm."

"Trouble"

The hearts of all Starfield Venerables sank. Spirit Void Ji Family is a real behemoth. If Ninth Son of Ink Sect really takes action against Ji Yuqing, the Ji family will be furious, and Ancient Starry Road will be in complete chaos.

"You guys are worrying too much."

Moonlit Tower Master looked at the crowd and said, "This guy is not indifferent to right from wrong. Ji Yuqing has no grudge against him, and he will not hurt anyone at will."

"It's difficult to know people's faces and their hearts. In the face of absolute interests, who can tell the difference between right and wrong? We can't take this risk," the person in charge of All Heavens Starfield said solemnly.

"At least he has done what he promised. He promised not to take action easily. He has never taken the initiative. Otherwise, why do you think there is no Ning Chen among the nine kings now?" Moonlit Tower Master said calmly.

"I also disapprove of interfering in this son's actions. Nothing is too much or too little. Although this son's cultivation has reached the end, his combat power is astonishing. Everyone should know that there is no benefit in angering this person." Divine Mechanism said in a condensed voice.

"Since there are differences, according to the rules, the opinions of the minority must obey the opinions of the majority," said the director Purple Star Starfield.

"I advocate further checks and balances on the Ninth Son of Ink Sect's actions," the person in charge of All Heavens Starfield said for the first time.

"I agree"

"I agree"

The voices of agreement one after another drowned out the voices of opposition, and all the nobles reached a consensus, once again checking and balancing Zhiming.
