"it's not true."

Chen Qingyuan shook his head.

"what is that?"

Ye Liujun stared at him and asked again.

"No response, probably cut off from the outside world."

Chen Qingyuan truthfully described the situation he had just encountered.

After knowing the reason, Ye Liujun fell silent.

After a long while, Ye Liujun raised his head and looked at Chen Qingyuan again. He swept away his depressed mood, smiled, and faced it calmly: "Let's go!"

With heavy hearts, Chen Qingyuan and Ye Liujun headed out of the old land.

“Maybe this is my destiny.”

Ye Liujun is not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to become a puppet of the person behind the scenes.

“It hasn’t come to that.”

Chen Qingyuan will not give up easily.

The two walked out of the old land, found a secluded place, and sat down to rest for a while.

During the break, Chen Qingyuan was thinking about how to proceed in the future.

On the other hand, Ye Liujun was eating spiritual fruits and sipping fine wine, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

"Don't think too much, enjoy life while you can, so that your life will not be in vain."

Seeing Chen Qingyuan's depression, Ye Liujun comforted him.

"You are open-minded."

Chen Qingyuan smiled bitterly.

"Then what else can be done?"

Ye Liujun decided to enjoy the coming days, cherish every day and not waste it.

"There are still a few decades left, so there's no need to be so pessimistic."

Chen Qingyuan said in a deep voice.

"What else do you plan to do?"

To be honest, Ye Liujun was very moved by Chen Qingyuan's dedication. No matter what the result was, Ye Liujun would not complain. At least he made a close friend this time.

"Find the Empress and ask her for help."

If Ye Liujun ended his life like this, Chen Qingyuan would never accept it. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would work hard to persevere and find a way out.

The universe is so vast. It is not easy to find Zhixi, who has terrifying and boundless strength.

If Zhixi deliberately concealed her whereabouts, Chen Qingyuan would not be able to track her down with his ability. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the hope would be slim.

Looking at Chen Qingyuan's determined eyes and listening to his tone of unwillingness to give up, Ye Liujun's heartstrings trembled slightly and his emotions fluctuated strongly.

This guy actually did this for me.

In his previous life, Ye Liujun had never met someone like Chen Qingyuan. Such a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness was extremely rare, not to mention in the cruel world of cultivation, even in the mortal world.

"Old Chen, go and do your own thing!"

Ye Liujun sorted out his thoughts, his face serious and solemn.

He knew how troublesome this matter was and didn't want to drag Chen Qingyuan down.

"There's really no chance. I'll collect your body."

Chen Qingyuan prepared for the worst, and his tone was serious and unquestionable.

The implication was that the situation had reached an uncontrollable point, and in order to preserve Ye Liujun's last bit of dignity, Chen Qingyuan personally killed Ye Liujun and dissolved his corpse into the world to avoid humiliation.

Chen Qingyuan didn't have the ability to help Ye Liujun break the shackles for the time being. But if he wanted Ye Liujun to sleep forever and not be enslaved, he could still do it by using all his trump cards.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the guy on the other side does not discover it in advance and intervene excessively, otherwise the situation will be very bad.

"it is good!"

Ye Liujun felt inexplicably at peace and spoke with a smile.

The two chatted for a while and then set off to another place.

Although he really wanted to find the empress, he had no specific direction and was wandering around like a headless fly.

Chen Qingyuan placed his hope on the black stone in his hand. If the white-haired woman was nearby, the black stone would react to a certain extent. At that time, he could use the black stone as a guide to contact the white-haired woman.

Whether the white-haired woman is willing to help is not the point for now. Let’s find her whereabouts first.

The two of them traveled side by side, visited many prosperous areas of the Imperial State, heard some interesting anecdotes, and saw several famous young geniuses.

Sometimes, Ye Liujun would be in a trance, as if he saw his younger self, who was also so high-spirited and glorious.

Perhaps it was because he was getting closer to death, Ye Liujun appeared calm and composed on the surface, but in his heart he missed the past very much. He often expressed some emotion, sighing that time was like a sharp knife that broke the waists of countless heroes.

As time passed, the news that Chen Qingyuan had previously appeared in a place in the Northern Wilderness spread to all walks of life, causing a stir.

"It is strange that Your Excellency has left the realm of enlightenment."

"I have specially sent people to the Ninth Heaven to gather information. The retreat arranged by His Majesty has not yet been lifted. Is this news just a rumor?"

"It is absolutely not a rumor. Many people saw it with their own eyes that day. It is impossible that they saw it wrong."

"Maybe someone is pretending to be Your Majesty in order to achieve some unknown purpose."

"Who is so bold as to pretend to be Your Excellency? Moreover, there was an imperial weapon that looked like a coffin board that day, and the Purple Jun Emperor Sword was also used later. How could it be fake?"

All walks of life in China are bustling with activity.

Whenever Chen Qingyuan is involved, even if it is a trivial matter, it will attract the attention of countless creatures, cause a sensation, and become the focus of world discussion.

Half a year later, Chen Qingyuan and Ye Liujun passed by a place and heard something that suddenly piqued their interest.

So the two slowed down and decided to find out more.

The two came to an ancient city somewhere in Western Xinjiang, which was crowded with people.

The Rebirth Realm, one of the Immortal Bone Forbidden Zones, is the Cangyan Star System that appears in the western border.

The white-haired woman had been here before, so Chen Qingyuan thought about going to the Western Xinjiang area and wandering around a few more times, hoping that he would be luckier and meet her there.

"The Eighteen Meridians are about to change their masters!"

The Eighteen Sects of Western Xinjiang have a high status and profound heritage. The change of master this time was a sensation.

Speaking of which, in the ancient times three hundred thousand years ago, the ancestor who established the Eighteen Veins once followed Chen Qingyuan in his battles in the north and south, and they have a deep connection.

A long time ago, Chen Qingyuan came to the Eighteen Meridians of Western Xinjiang, paid tribute to his old friends, and left behind some inheritance.

"This kid is indeed capable of taking on this position."

Chen Qingyuan made some inquiries and learned the whole story. Thinking back on the past, he sighed.

The 'boy' he was talking about was named Fu Dongliu, the most famous top evildoer in Western Xinjiang. He was acquainted with Chen Qingyuan and could be considered a friend.

"Now that we've come across it, let's go check it out!"

Knowing this is fate.

Without thinking, Chen Qingyuan decided to go.

Although the succession ceremony will not be held for a few years, Chen Qingyuan will not wait and will just go over to say congratulations.

"You have a wide range of friends. You have close friends everywhere."

Through Chen Qingyuan's narration, Ye Liujun learned the details of the matter.

"Good popularity." Chen Qingyuan smiled slightly.

"Do you want to give a gift?" Ye Liujun asked casually.

Chen Qingyuan said: "Since it is a congratulation, of course I can't leave empty-handed."
