On the water, Shangguan Yulin, who was watching the three people undergo tribulation, suddenly heard a "plop" and Ye Lingyuan was no longer by his side.
He hurriedly shouted into the water: "Hey! Ming..."
However, he had only uttered one word when Ye Lingyuan's figure had already disappeared into the water.
Shangguan Yulin glanced at the three people in the tribulation lightning, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Master of Mingyuan Tower, wait for me!"
Then, he leaped forward and jumped into the Repentance Heart Lake.
"Hiss~"
The electric shock made him groan involuntarily. Su Dan Novel Network
But he gritted his teeth and dived into the water.
However, there was nothing underwater, let alone Ye Lingyuan.
"Where did he go? Never mind! I'll go down and see!"
Shangguan Yulin steeled himself and rushed towards the bottom of the water.
Just as his head was buzzing from the electricity and he was about to give up, a light screen suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
He accelerated and rushed towards it, just in time to see Ye Lingyuan forcefully crash into the barrier.
"Master of Mingyuan Tower!"
Shangguan Yulin shouted and also charged towards the barrier.
Then, something unexpected happened.
The barrier that had not obstructed Ye Lingyuan actually bounced him away.
Different people, different fates. This must be what they meant!
"No way?"
Shangguan Yulin, disbelieving, rushed towards it again, but the result was the same.
He was bounced away!
And this time, the barrier seemed to have been provoked, so the rebound force was even greater.
What was going on?
Shangguan Yulin was dumbfounded!
He clearly saw Ye Lingyuan enter with ease, so why was he bounced away?
"Could it be... this barrier... recognizes people?!"
This thought flashed through Shangguan Yulin's mind, startling him.
Strange things happen every day, but today is particularly full of them.
As his thoughts raced, Ye Lingyuan inside the barrier was also thrown out.
At the same time, the light on the barrier receded, turning into a thin film.
However, although this film was thin, under the impact of the water, it was as steady as a rock.
A voice boomed in Shangguan Yulin's mind, "Ancient City of Repentance Heart, only those with destiny can enter!"
He paused and finally understood.
The reason the barrier had bounced him away was because he was not destined to enter.
Tch!
Shangguan Yulin's frustration was immense.
"Forget it! Since there's no destiny, I'll go up! We'll figure out a way together after Uncle Nine and the others finish their tribulation!"
He gave a wry smile and swam towards the surface.
Inside the Ancient City of Repentance Heart.
Ye Lingyuan once again crashed into the barrier.
As expected, he was still bounced away.
Damn it!
Ye Lingyuan felt a surge of impatience.
However, he quickly calmed down.
"Fated one, to open the barrier, you need to control the entire ancient city. Go!"
A voice sounded in Ye Lingyuan's ear.
If Shangguan Yulin could hear it, he would find that this voice was exactly the same as the one he heard.
Control the ancient city?
Ye Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the ruins.
Rather than wasting time here, it was better to find a way to control the ancient city quickly.
Fortunately, divine sense was not suppressed here.
Upon realizing this, Ye Lingyuan fully unleashed his soul power.
What entered Ye Lingyuan's soul was a dilapidated city.
The Ancient City of Repentance Heart was not large, but it was equivalent to three Central Cities in size.
Quiet! Desolate! Decayed! Ancient!
This was Ye Lingyuan's initial impression of the Ancient City of Repentance Heart.
Where he was now was the outer city of the Ancient City of Repentance Heart.
Here, streets crisscrossed, with shops on both sides.
Inside the shops, everything was spotless, and the goods for sale were neatly arranged.
If it weren't for the complete absence of people in the ancient city, Ye Lingyuan would have suspected that all these shops were currently open for business.
Suddenly, the name of a shop caught his eye.
Witch Girl Tingxue Tower!
Witch girl?
Wasn't that the name of his mother Zun Fengliqi's only daughter?
Ye Lingyuan, as if possessed, stepped inside.
Before he could even steady himself, a beam of white light shot into "Chong'er."
More accurately, it shot into Zi Linling's body.
Ye Lingyuan was startled and quickly took Zi Linling out of "Chong'er" to examine her carefully, but found no abnormalities.
Was he mistaken?
Impossible!
Ye Lingyuan absolutely believed his eyes, so he checked again.
Yet, there were still no abnormalities.
But what he didn't know was that the moment that white light entered Zi Linling's body, it drilled into a vortex deep within Zi Linling's sea of consciousness.
"Alas..."
A sigh echoed from deep within Zi Linling's sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, Zi Linling, who was trapped in the other shore space, saw a strange bamboo house appear before her eyes.
Inside the bamboo house, a woman stood at the door, anxiously looking outside, as if waiting for someone.
Unbeknownst to how long the woman waited, a handsome man finally returned.
The man glanced at the food on the table, then tenderly hugged the woman and said, "Yue Hua, I've told you many times, eat first when the food is ready, you don't have to wait for me."
Yue Hua smiled and said, "Chi Lang, if you don't come back, eating alone is tasteless. I'd rather wait for you."
Chi Lang took Yue Hua's hand and sat down at the table, dotingly saying, "Yue Hua, you're pregnant now, you need to eat well, understand?"
Yue Hua nodded and said, "Chi Lang, I know how to take care of myself. It's you who's working so hard for this family!"
Chi Lang shook his head and said, "It's not hard! It's not hard!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Yue Hua's bowl, saying, "Here, Yue Hua, eat more!"
"Mmm!"
Yue Hua nodded and similarly picked up a piece of meat, putting it in Chi Lang's bowl, saying, "You eat more too!"
Zi Linling watched Yue Hua and Chi Lang being affectionate and couldn't help but feel happy for them.
Suddenly, the scene changed. Yue Hua's belly was slightly rounded, and she sat by the bed, wiping away tears.
On the bed, Chi Lang lay motionless with his eyes closed.
Yue Hua, with red and swollen eyes, said, "Chi Lang, how could you bear to leave me and our child! Come back! Come back, Chi Lang!"
However, Chi Lang, who lay there, did not respond at all.
Yue Hua cried from morning till night, and from night till morning, becoming utterly haggard.
The scene shifted again. Behind the bamboo house, a new grave appeared.
Yue Hua, dressed in plain white clothes and a white flower, lay on the tomb, her whole body trembling violently.
Zi Linling could feel the overwhelming sadness emanating from Yue Hua.
Yue Hua remained in this posture for another three days.
She finally stood up, caressed her slightly rounded belly, and forced a smile, "Chi Lang, the child and I will always wait for you here until you return!"
Time flew by, and years passed.
Zi Linling's vision shifted again. Yue Hua sat in front of the bamboo house, lovingly watching a little girl happily hopping in the courtyard.
