Ming Xia's pupils shrank suddenly, and the shock in his heart could not be greater. He was very smart and clever. He could figure out anything at once, otherwise he would not have been able to set up this game.

Examine the current world situation from God's perspective, combined with Ren Jie's current situation and his abnormal behavior today.

He suddenly realized what Ren Jie wanted to do.

Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and Mingxia's scalp was even numb. Even now, he still hasn't recovered from the shock.

"Damn it! No wonder...hahahaha! Ren Jie, you are really a lunatic."

"You say I'm crazy. I've trapped all the top experts in the world for a piece of emperor's meat, and single-handedly disrupted the entire era!"

"But what about you? Compared to you, my game is just a child's play. You are the real planner and the one who controls the world!"

"Spirit race, demon race, human race, and even demon race, you are all included. Even me, including yourself, are part of the chess pieces!"

"Is this the real big deal?"

Ming Xia was completely excited and could not help but tremble all over.

Ren Jie is really using the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pawns to play a life-and-death chess game with the unknown existence.

He...will eventually become the biggest black hand behind the scenes.

Ren Jie rolled his eyes: "What are you yelling about?"

"What? You don't want to do it?"

Ming Xia licked her lips, narrowed her eyes and said, "Do I have a reason to refuse?"

"This is a big game of chess. I am lucky enough to be able to participate in it and stir up the storm. I wish I could, but I am lucky!"

At this moment, the two people's eyes collided and intertwined in the air.

Each of them knew exactly what the other was thinking.

Ming Xia looked solemn, narrowed his eyes and said:

"It's just... if you take one wrong step on this path, you will be doomed, right?"

Ren Jie said calmly: "I am a lighthouse, I can find the direction of dawn..."

"Longing at night... I'm used to it, I can't lose it. Even if I step deep and shallow, I will still find a way!"

While speaking, Ren Jie raised his head and drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, knocking it heavily on the tree stump.

Mingxia also drank from the pot, threw the bamboo aside, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"After finishing the wine, it's time for me to hit the road, so don't send me away!"

As he spoke, Ming Xia turned around and left, crossing the border and entering the realm of mountains and seas.

With his sword drawn out, he walked swaying in vain, his eyes were drunk and he was mumbling something:

"The road ahead is long, let me walk on it, and my whole life will be like duckweed..."

"Here we go to the mountains and seas to slay the bright moon. How dare our swords stand against the sky!"

As he spoke, Ming Xia raised his sword to the sky. The blazing sword energy was like a pillar in the sky, rising into the sky and piercing the full moon. The sharp edge splashed out and even shattered the clouds in the sky.

A loud chirping of cicadas echoed throughout the void.

It seems to be telling the mountains and seas that I, Ming Xia...are here!

"Hahahahaha~"

The smiling Mingxia smiled wantonly, with a drunken face, and looked back at Ren Jie:

"We...are friends, right?"

A flash of helplessness flashed in Ren Jie's eyes: "Forget it!"

Ming Xia smiled knowingly: "Then...this time we see each other again, you and I will reach our peak!"

After saying that, Mingxia turned around and walked towards the mountain and sea.

Ren Jie greeted loudly: "Remember, you still owe me a favor and haven't repaid it!"

Mingxia's eyes were full of misfortune: "You really took everything into account, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Ming Xia rolled her eyes and fell headlong into the grass.

He smelled of alcohol and was sleeping soundly. He even snored and drooled...

Ren Jie covered his face and looked at Ming Xia who fell asleep before taking two steps, looking speechless.

"You are still riding a horse to the top of the mountain? I see you are struggling to get on the kang!"

"This stinky little brother can't drink too much, is he? What a bastard!"

Ren Jie raised his hand and pulled out a blanket to cover Ming Xia. He then took out a marker and drew on his face, taking photos as a souvenir. A wicked smile appeared on his face.

Then, he disappeared in a flash...

…

The night before dawn is often the darkest, with dark clouds in the sky and heavy rain, but only the Sky Sword on the dome still shines.

The whole of Daxia was shrouded in hazy rain, and this rain seemed to completely wash away the haze that shrouded Daxia.

There was a bit of chill floating in the air, and the breath he exhaled was tinged with white.

An autumn rain, a cold...

Outside Yuancheng, the aftermath of the war is still continuing.

Qingjiu stood outside the city in the heavy rain, directing the aftermath work. The ground was full of mud.

The stagnant water in the puddles was dyed with a touch of bright red, that... was the blood of the devil's bonded people soaked in the soil.

Qingjiu stood there blankly, letting the rain wet her green skirt and hair...

It's so cold...so cold.

A thunder echoed, pulling Qingjiu back from her thoughts. She seemed to feel something, and looked back behind her.

I saw a figure standing in the rain, with black eyes, black hair, and black clothes. He seemed to blend into the night.

The falling rain evaporated into nothingness before it even got close to him...

And he still wore the Night King's Token on his hand.

Ren Jie looked at Qingjiu and said hoarsely: "I... am back!"

The moment she saw Ren Jie returning alone, Qingjiu, who had always been strong, could no longer hold back...

Hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and then he ran towards Ren Jie desperately, holding him in his arms in the heavy rain.

"Ugh~ we... don't have a father anymore..."

"Wow~"

At this moment, Qingjiu took off all disguises and cried loudly without caring about her image.

To everyone in Hyakki Yama, Hyakuge is more like a father figure.

When they were most helpless, he stretched out his big hand and pulled them up from the quagmire. He worked hard to pull them up and grow into a being that could stand on their own.

Give them a home…

But now, my father is gone and never comes back.

Who can understand the feeling of losing support and harbor...

All the ghosts who were busy outside the city put down their work and looked at this scene. It was no longer clear whether the tears or rain on their faces were there.

Before Ren Jie came back, everyone still had a sense of luck in their hearts.

But now, Ren Jie's return alone is equivalent to announcing the result to them.

Although this is cruel.

Ren Jie must come to Keyuan City.

Looking at Qingjiu sobbing in her arms, Ren Jie's eyes darkened. At this moment, she was no longer the so-called Lord of One Hundred Ghosts...

He is just a helpless child who has lost his father and doesn't know what to do.

Ren Jie was a little at a loss, but he still stretched out his hand, hugged Qingjiu gently, patted her back, and comforted her softly:

"Don't be afraid! The Night King has left..."

"And...I'm here!"

"The old man Bai Ge will spend every cool night with us. Whenever night falls, the old man... comes back to see us..."

Qingjiu sobbed, wiping her tears with the back of her hands, looking at the thick night, and nodded heavily.

After a while, the rain dispersed and the sky became sunny!

Dawn arrives, the sun rises!

Ren Jie took a deep breath and shouted:

"The whole team returns to the city, and hundreds of ghosts enter the Night Palace!"
Chapter completed!
