What Happened; Don't Follow Me
A flash of light, and Li Yunjing and the others returned to the cave where the bronze gate was located.
In the distance, the alien from the Crypt Race sat in place, resting with his eyes closed.
Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy, the Crypt Race alien immediately opened its eyes.
His eyes were initially full of anticipation and joy, but when he saw that it was Li Yunjing and the others, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"How... could it be you!?"
At this moment, the alien suddenly uttered fluent human language.
Unlike before, he was no longer stammering and unable to express himself clearly.
The alien race reacted quickly, immediately thinking of running away.
But Fang Hexuan reacted even faster. He quickly raised his right hand, and thousands of bolts of lightning surged out, forming a lightning net that trapped the Crypt Race alien race.
"Hmph, trying to run away!" Fang Hexuan sneered.
Li Yunjing stepped forward, looking at the alien race struggling within the lightning net, and coldly asked, "Do you know something? Tell me, and I might give you a quick death."
The Crypt Race race glared angrily at Li Yunjing without saying a word.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing didn't bother with any more words and directly placed his hand on the head of the Crypt Race alien.
The next moment, Li Yunjing extracted the soul of this Crypt Race alien.
After carefully searching the soul, Li Yunjing roughly understood what had happened.
In short, this Crypt Race alien race has intricate connections with the sealed Lord of the Ruins of Return.
During the process of sealing the Lord of the Ruins of Return, a wisp of demonic thought overflowed, giving birth to a great demon that Qingyun Neng seal away.
Before wreaking havoc, the great demon had already taken the entire Crypt Race as its subjects.
Afterwards, the Great Demon was sealed away by Qingyun Neng and others, and the Crypt Race tried various methods to release the Great Demon.
However, all attempts failed.
Moreover, the overall situation of the Crypt Race is getting worse and worse. Not only has the number of clansmen decreased significantly, but even the current Crypt Race chief is only at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage.
Later, the Crypt Race encountered the Biyuan People and cooperated with Biyuan People to barely keep the entire Crypt Race running.
After Zhi Qianshu developed demonic thoughts, he expelled them, and the Crypt Race felt that their opportunity had come.
They actively sought out Zhi Qianshu 'Zhi Qianshu malevolent entity and then sent it to the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return.
However, the Crypt Race overestimated Zhi Qianshu's malevolent form and underestimated the power of the seal, which prevented Zhi Qianshu's malevolent form from successfully completing its plan.
Then Li Yunjing appeared.
This gave the Crypt Race hope again.
That's why they joined forces with Zhi Qianshu to find Li Yunjing, fabricated a lie to get Li Yunjing and the others into the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return, and thus helped the Great Demon break the seal.
It must be said that the Crypt Race's plan was actually successful; the Great Demon did indeed break the seal.
However, they did not expect that the situation inside the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return was so complicated. Even if the Great Demon broke the seal, it could only be annihilated in the end.
Li Yunjing's gaze turned cold, and with a clench of his right hand, the soul of the Crypt Race completely dissipated.
"I never imagined it was the Crypt Race who were behind this..." Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
He initially thought Zhi Qianshu was the mastermind, after all, he had dealt with Zhi Qianshu's malevolent form in the Myriad Spirits Ruins of Return.
The release of the Great Demon is part of the plan to resurrect the original ancestors of the Biyuan People.
Who would have thought that Zhi Qianshu had almost no role in this? Apart from his evil avatar, he was basically not the Zhi Qianshu who initiated the whole thing.
This means that the Biyuan People were also deceived by the Crypt Race.
"I wonder what the situation is like with the other Blood Cicada Race and Winged Human Race?" Li Yunjing pondered, head bowed.
The Crypt Race was taken as a subordinate by that great demon, and the Blood Cicada Race and the Winged Human Race should theoretically find it difficult to avoid the same situation.
Devil Creature are masters at winning people's hearts.
Aside from the Crypt Race, the only other alien races in the surrounding area are the Blood Cicada Race and the Winged Human Race.
There's no reason why the other two alien races wouldn't be targeted by the Great Demon.
Li Yunjing even suspected that Zhi Qianshu Biyuan People might have also been taken in as family members.
Unfortunately, the soul of this Crypt Race alien race contained no information related to these matters.
At this moment, Fang Hexuan stepped forward.
"Yunjing, how did things go?"
Li Yunjing came to his senses and briefly told Fang Hexuan what he had learned from the soul search.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hexuan was so enraged that he unleashed a bolt of lightning, shattering the corpse of the Crypt Race alien into ashes.
"He deserves to die!" Fang Hexuan cursed angrily.
Li Yunjing said, "Grandmaster Fang, please don't be angry. Let's go back first. I wonder how the sect is doing now?"
Fang Hexuan nodded, and the group walked out of the cave.
Returning to the valley, the four walked out of it.
Before long, the four of them returned to the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat.
The next moment, the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat started up, took off, and flew towards the Azure Jiao Marsh.
Azure Jiao Marsh, Luozhen Sect
The Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat slowly landed on Luozhen Island.
Li Yunjing, Fang Hexuan, and the others disembarked from the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat.
As soon as Li Yunjing stepped off the spaceship, he stopped in his tracks.
Ahead, Zhi Qianshu was sitting quietly on the ground, seemingly waiting for Li Yunjing and the others to return.
"Your Excellency, we never expected you to return safely."
Zhi Qianshu was quite surprised to see that Li Yunjing and the others were safe and sound.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's eyes narrowed.
"From what you're saying, you know what happened to us?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.
Zhi Qianshu smiled and nodded, "That's right. The prophecy mentioned that the messenger would encounter a great calamity when he first met us."
In this great calamity, the envoy himself will be severely injured, and many people closely associated with him will die.
"It seems this prophecy is false. Perhaps I am not the messenger you Biyuan People, are talking about." Li Yunjing smiled.
"No, you definitely are." Zhi Qianshu smiled.
"If Your Excellency has the ability to break the prophecy, how could you not be the person we are looking for?"
The smile on Li Yunjing's face gradually faded.
"Oh."
After a thousand words, Li Yunjing could only let out a silent sigh.
Does this Biyuan People?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What are you doing here? Waiting for us to come back?" Li Yunjing asked.
Zhi Qianshu nodded. "That's right. In order to successfully resurrect the First Ancestor, from today onwards, I will stay by the Envoy's side at all times."
"No thanks, I don't like being followed." Li Yunjing waved his hand.
After saying that, Li Yunjing walked straight towards his cave abode.
But Zhi Qianshu immediately caught up with Li Yunjing.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately changed direction, but Zhi Qianshu still followed.
After several attempts, Li Yunjing realized he couldn't shake Zhi Qianshu, so he immediately stopped.
"Stop following me. If you keep, I'll have to ask you to leave Azure Jiao Marsh," Li Yunjing said to Zhi Qianshu.
Zhi Qianshu smiled and said, "I only hope that Your Excellency will pay more attention to the matter of the resurrection of the First Ancestor. That's all, I have no other intentions."
Annoyance flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "Whether your ancestor is resurrected or not is not my concern. I have more important things to do."
If you push me too far, it won't do either of us any good.
Furthermore, since you want me to resurrect your progenitor, you'd better be obedient, otherwise I don't know what I might do."
