The moment Xiao Yu appeared, I went straight to her and pulled her into my arms.
"Xiao Yu, it's so good to see you."
In the Black Stone Peak Great Fiend Ghost Domain, during those final moments, I truly felt like I might not make it back.
If not for the paper crane guiding us, we would have been annihilated along with the Ghost Domain in Black Stone Mountain.
"I've always been here. If you want to see me, you can come anytime!"
Leaning against my shoulder, Xiao Yu asked gently.

"When the Ghost Domain in the Great Fiend Ghost Domain was annihilated, I really thought we wouldn't be able to get out.
If you hadn't used the paper crane to guide us at the end, we truly wouldn't have had any way out."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu sighed as well.
"I didn't expect a Great Fiend to be lurking so close to the Nine Corpse Tower.
And that Great Fiend really was powerful.
It should have escaped during the war, when the seal loosened.
But everything is fine now. The Great Fiend there has completely disappeared.
The threat to the Nine Corpse Tower has decreased accordingly."
Hearing that, I frowned slightly.
Did that mean quite a few Great Fiends had escaped when the Nine Luminaries Crystal shattered and the seal loosened?
And Xiao Yu herself seemed not to know how many had escaped.
So I pressed her further.
"Xiao Yu, you can't determine how many Great Fiends escaped outside?"
Xiao Yu shook her head directly.
