Chapter 122: Reunion

  Xu Hua left anyway, refusing anyone's company, and went alone to Luoyang.

  Before leaving, he went to the forbidden land. When these bloodthirsty Blood God Guards saw Xu Hua, they first didn't dare believe their eyes, then they wanted to cheer, but found that they couldn't speak, only leaving a sour feeling in their mouths and noses. They also didn't expect to see the young master again in this life, and the young master was able to come out alive from the earth's fierce fire.

  Who would have thought that this group of bloodthirsty butchers could still be so tearfully sentimental, and even fewer people would think that these people were once the most inconspicuous beggars on the side of the road.

  At first, they couldn't eat their fill or wear warm clothes, and everywhere they went, they spoke in hushed tones, all for the sake of getting a little food to fill their bellies, so as not to starve to death. Just when they were having their darkest days, a group of people arrived, bringing food and taking them to a mountain with an iron stove. It was there that they met the young master, and in that instant, his image was deeply etched into their minds - this person could change their fate.

  Still remember the first time eating monster meat, how exciting it was. The first time practicing, the first time laughing and even the first time hunting monsters and getting injured for it... All of these seem to still be clearly visible in front of my eyes.

  Until one day, their sky came crashing down. The leader brought news that drove countless people into a frenzy: the young master was dead, killed in the Earthly Furnace, and the culprit was the Wudeng clan. Everyone went mad with cultivation, not caring about the additional scars on their bodies, but rather whether they had the qualifications to avenge the young master. Their faith almost collapsed, no one knew how they survived, no one could understand how dark their world was at that time, and during that period, they were just killing machines, not living people.

  Before, they were free and easy in their hearts, despite the hardships of cultivation and the life-and-death battles with demonic beasts. But since the young master's death, their sky had collapsed, and everything needed to be borne by themselves. They had never felt so tired before. It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental fatigue! They owed a debt of gratitude to the young master; without him, they wouldn't have become who they were today. If they couldn't avenge his death, they would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of their lives!

  Although they are bloodthirsty, yet in their hearts they are so innocent. Everything they do is just to protect themselves, to serve the young master, and to repay the young master's great kindness.

  Perhaps many people think they are demons, but they are so lovely and so sentimental.

  Most things in the world are difficult to achieve both sides, for more people, choosing one side and doing well on that side is already not easy.

  The laws of nature are three thousand, every one can prove the way; The rules of the red dust are countless, every one can be fatal. Alone, a person walks in the red dust, respecting heaven, respecting earth, and respecting his own body. Heaven and earth are the mother of all things, this should be respected. However, in the world of red dust, even if you don't respect heaven and earth, you still cannot disrespect your own body.

  The eyes see in all directions, the ears hear from all sides, and the origin of heaven and earth lies within oneself. If one's own body is destroyed, then heaven and earth do not exist.

  Respect yourself, then respect your desires. What do people desire? Only the heart! The direction of the heart and the reach of thoughts are all great desires. Following the heart is following desires; following desires is respecting oneself; respecting oneself means not wasting a life in the red dust.

  Although they have been sad, painful and hateful for the past two years, they have no regrets. All of this is worth it. The only pity is that they cannot exchange it for the rebirth of their young master.

  The moment the young master appeared, they couldn't express their emotions, but they did feel their hearts. They wouldn't be able to cut ties with the young master for the rest of their lives, unless they died.

  Xu Hua did not expect that in just two short years, these people's strength would reach such a high level, each and every one of them surpassing their own level from two years ago.

  After all, these people are directly following Luo Cheng and Luo Hui, so they know more than He Tao and Lu Zhen.

  In the Blood One population, Xu Hua learned that Luo Cheng had gone mad and started cultivating crazily after his 'death', returning with severe injuries time and again, with an increasingly heavy bloody aura, even these bloodthirsty Blood God Guards would be frightened when they saw Luo Cheng.

  One scene after another, as if replaying, appeared in Xu Hua's eyes...

  Xu Hua did not say much about this, let out a long sigh, and left Jiuzhaigou immediately.

  ……

  Walking in the city of Luo, Xu Hua found that the current style of Luo City is completely different from two years ago. Two years ago, when Xu Hua first came to Luo City, it was bustling with people; today, although Luo City is still Luo City, it seems a bit desolate.

  After walking on the street for half a day, Xu Hua didn't meet many pedestrians, and those people had deep frowns, making one's heart tighten. From this, Xu Hua saw the tragic situation of Wuding Clan's struggle with Niu Clan, Chen Clan, and Mingyang Sect, which had seriously affected the residents in Luocheng.

  Finally, Xu Hua stopped in front of a wine house door. This wine house had undergone a complete transformation. He still remembered two years ago when he was here with Dou Niu Daqi and Dou Niu Wushu, meeting the young heroes of Luocheng. In the blink of an eye, all these things had become memories of the past.

  "I wonder what has become of these people now? Xuan Ziyin, Xuan Yuan, Chen Feng, Chen Xiang, Gao Tianci, Niu Dairen and Niu Wushu..." Xu Hua reminisced for a moment before leaving.

  After all, past events are just that, and now he has more important things to attend to. Let bygones be bygones! What a big deal, it's just a clown jumping around, not worth his trouble to deal with.

  The Niu Fu of today seems to have become the base for those who oppose the Wu Ding Shi alliance. Apart from the Ming Yang Sect and the Chen family, others such as Liu Yidao, Xue Mo Luo Cheng, Ban Yue Zong Cui Ban Yue etc are all here.

  Backyard of Niu Fu

  Luo Cheng, Luo Mou, Liu Yidao and Bai Qiutang were gathered together discussing something.

  "Luò Chéng, your current strength has greatly increased, and you can now completely withstand a single Wū Dǐng Shì martial arts elder ghost!" Bái Qiū Táng's strength had also increased significantly over the past two years. At this moment, he was already a late-stage Martial Emperor warrior, although still unable to compare with Luò Chéng or Liú Yīdāo, but it was not bad either.

  Luo Cheng nodded slightly, and Bai Qiutang and Liu Yidao were overjoyed. At this time, Liu Yidao sighed slightly and said: "I remember two years ago, your strength was not as good as mine! Now you have surpassed me, you are really a monster!"

  Luo Cheng smiled lightly and said: "I don't have the confidence to take your last blow, among us, if we talk about the strongest fighting power, it's you."

  "Indeed, even if my strength is far inferior to yours, I can still feel the abnormality of that one knife. Last time, you almost cut down the second ancestor of the Wudeng clan! That was the strongest person in the Wudeng clan, except for that old immortal who lived the longest. In that battle, those old ancestors of the Wudeng clan were really frightened by you!" White Autumn Hall said with exaggeration.

  "But after that one knife, my true energy was also exhausted, and I had no combat power for a short time." Liu Yidao seemed to be still dissatisfied. That one knife of his was extremely biased, using all his true energy as the price to exchange for the strongest knife. After that one knife, he could only be slaughtered by others. Fortunately, over the past two years, his control over this move had become stronger and stronger.

  "On our side, we have Niu Laozu, Chen Laozu, Xuan Lao Gui, Bei Cheng Tang, He Lao, you and I, seven martial arts masters. With the addition of the Western Chu Sword Sect, we now have eight martial arts masters on our side. The Wu Ding clan only has six martial arts masters, and even with the addition of that old ghost from the Luo Sheng sect, they still only have seven martial arts masters. It can be said that our chances of victory have greatly increased!" Ro Cheng said to Liu Yidao.

  Just as they were talking, Xu Hua finally arrived at the gate of Niu Fu.

  "Who are you? What brings you here?" Because of the recent dispute with Wu Ding, the guards at the entrance of Niu Fu were replaced by four martial arts masters.

  Xu Hua said softly: "I'm here looking for someone."

  "Who is it?"

  "Are Niu Wushu, Luo Cheng and Luo Hou all here?"

  Niu Wushu and the others didn't know who it was, but Luo Cheng was someone they knew. He was a Blood Devil, one of their side's main forces against the Wu Ding clan. This person claimed to know the Blood Devil, so he must not be simple. No one would think this person was joking. Joking? That was a Blood Devil!! Did he want to die?! "Wait, we'll go report right away, but who are you?"

  "Xu Hua!"

  One person quickly stepped into the gate and went in to report! The other three whispered lightly.

  "Xu Hua? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

  "Huh, you're that demon!" Someone suddenly let out a surprised cry and looked at Xu Hua, apparently recognizing him as the murderer from two years ago. However, they didn't make a move, even if he was a murderer, what did it have to do with them?

  "It seems that after being trapped in Luocheng for two years, there are still people who remember me!" Xu Hua smiled lightly.

  "Lao Bao, do you know him?" The other two were not originally from Luocheng, so they naturally didn't know Xu Hua.

  "Two years ago, he was a household name in Luocheng!" The old guard, Lao Bao, began to recount Xu Hua's past exploits. The two people beside him listened with wide eyes and turned to stare at Xu Hua, who merely smiled faintly without saying a word.

  In the backyard of Niu Fu, Luo Cheng and his three companions suddenly found someone approaching.

  "What's going on?" Luo Cheng looked at this guard standing in the distance.

  He was swept a glance by Luo Cheng, and that person immediately lowered his head, slightly trembling, "Reporting to Lord Blood Demon, there is someone outside the mansion looking for you."

  "Who is it?" Luo Cheng slightly furrowed his brow, he couldn't think of who would be coming back for him at this time.

  Although he was far away from Duke Blood Demon, he still couldn't stand that bloodthirsty aura. "That person claims to be Xu Hua!"

  "Xu Hua!" Not only Luo Cheng, but also Liu Yidao, Luo Mou and Bai Qiutang stood up at the same time. The four were extremely shocked, with Luo Cheng and Luo Mou trembling all over when they heard this name. The four almost simultaneously looked at the guard and said: "Say it again, what's that person's name?"
