C402 Split up
By the time Zhou Yi reacted, the two hammers that carried countless force had already arrived in front of him.
Zhou Yi immediately swung out an energy to block the two hammers.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out.
Monster was suddenly caught in the middle of a huge golden bell that fell from the sky. His two hammers smashed onto the inner wall of the golden bell.
At the same time, the energy from Zhou Yi's hand exploded on the outer wall of the golden bell.
"Hurry up!" At that moment, a shout came from behind Zhou Yi. Then, he saw Yan Ming was lifted up by an old man and he quickly ran out of the hall.
Zhou Yi was surprised, but seeing that the other party had saved him and Mo Qingcheng, he must not be a bad person. At least for now, he wouldn't do anything to the three of them.
Thus, he also wrapped his arms around Mo Qingcheng's slender waist and quickly retreated after that person.
After running for a long time, that person brought the three of them to an unknown courtyard. This courtyard was somewhat different from the previous one. At the very least, it was not filled with weeds.
Yan Ming bowed slightly towards the newcomer and said, "I am Yan Ming, thank you for saving me!"
At this moment, Zhou Yi also raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
This person was around 70 years old with a head of silver hair. He had a goatee on his chin and was wearing a white Tang suit.
Of course, Zhou Yi knew that his real age was more than 70.
Facing Yan Ming's salute, he revealed an undetectable bitter smile.
He then turned around and looked at Zhou Yi and Mo Qingcheng. When his gaze landed on Zhou Yi's arm, he hurriedly went forward and handed over a yellow porcelain bottle: "Here is some medicine made from elixirs, it's most suitable to treat injuries left behind by Monster!"
Mo Qingcheng thanked him and quickly took the bottle. Then, she started to treat Zhou Yi.
"My name is Xu Kun, an immortal from the Upper Heaven." The old man turned his head and saw that Yan Ming was still looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Hearing that, Yan Ming first looked at Zhou Yi, then asked: "Sir, since you are an immortal of Upper Heaven, why didn't you leave Monster aside? Why did you not leave him here?"
Hearing Yan Ming's question, Xu Kun laughed bitterly and replied: "Right now, Demon World and Upper Heaven have signed a truce. If I kill Monster on my own accord, it would be equivalent to breaking the agreement between the two of them. And Upper Heaven's current situation does not allow me to break this truce."
With that, Xu Kun helplessly shook his head.
Zhou Yi was surprised in his heart. What exactly made the Upper Heaven sign such an agreement, and why did Monster fight to the Upper Heaven?
If he remembered correctly, if Monster wanted to reach the Upper Heaven, then he would definitely be restricted by many conditions. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to pass through the barrier created by each level of the Heaven Realm.
But what was it for?
Zhou Yi's thoughts involuntarily drifted to a long time ago, and then he understood.
Just as Zhou Yi was pondering about the relationship between Monster and Upper Heaven, Xu Kun looked at Zhou Yi with a puzzled expression.
He had a feeling that he had seen this young man somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where.
Before he thought about it, that familiar feeling made him slightly irritable. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Friend, have we met somewhere before?"
Xu Kun's words completely pulled Zhou Yi back from his thoughts. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and replied: "I'm just a little unranked deity. How could I know someone like you? I think you got the wrong person!"
Hearing the old man's question, Yan Ming, who was on the side, felt a little surprised.
If he remembered correctly, the demon also said that he saw Zhou Yi somewhere before, and now this immortal also saw him. Although all of this was denied by Zhou Yi, Yan Ming felt that the Demon and the Immortal might not just be a coincidence.1
"Oh …" Xu Kun was slightly disappointed, then asked: "Right now, there are some matters that we need to take care of in Upper Heaven, I originally planned to go and help, I do not know what to do, if not, how about coming with me?"
Xu Kun's gaze swept across the three of them and landed on Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi didn't answer, and of course Mo Qingcheng didn't.
Yan Ming, who was at the side, pondered for a moment, then said: "Greetings Immortal, I know that my abilities are limited, but I also want to contribute to Upper Heaven. I just don't know if I have the qualifications …"
"Little friend Yan, there's no need to belittle yourself. Today, Upper Heaven matters are as chaotic as the numbing night. Since you're not retreating, it's already rare for you to be willing to come forward and help!"
Before Yan Ming finished, Xu Kun patted his shoulder and replied.
Since Xu Kun had already tacitly accepted, Yan Ming set his gaze back on Zhou Yi. He must have come here all because of Zhou Yi. Where should he go from here? He should ask Zhou Yi.
Who would have thought that just as Yan Ming's gaze landed on Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi opened his mouth and said: "Brother Yan's original goal was to be able to go to Upper Heaven, so if you are willing, I, Zhou, will here wish you smooth sailing."
What Zhou Yi said was good. Not only did he say that he supported Yan Ming, he also said that he didn't want to go with them.
Xu Kun recognized the hidden meaning behind Zhou Yi's words, and couldn't help but blurt out: "This little brother, you're not coming with us? "With your aptitude, if you were to show your face now, your future path …"
"Many thanks for Immortal Xu's kindness. I, the Zhou family, appreciate it. However, I have an urgent matter to attend to. If I have the time later, I will definitely go to Upper Heaven to find the two of you!"
Before Xu Kun finished his words, Zhou Yi had already cupped his hands and choked the rest of his words into his stomach.
Xu Kun's lips trembled, but in the end, he still shut his mouth.
However, looking at how he acted, he was indeed reluctant to part with Zhou Yi, this good material!
Seeing that he had shut his mouth, Zhou Yi then shifted his gaze to Yan Ming and said, "Then Zhou Yi will pay his respects to the two of you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yan Ming's reply, he dragged Mo Qingcheng and walked in a direction.
"Brother Zhou, you take care too!" You must come and find me after you're done! " Yan Ming's voice came from afar.
Zhou Yi didn't look back, he just raised his hand and waved it gently.
As he watched Zhou Yi and Mo Qingcheng's figures gradually disappear into the thick fog, Xu Kun also turned his head and said, "Yan Ming, let's go. But I believe that Brother Zhou will definitely come back after this is done!"
Yan Ming nodded, then followed Xu Kun and left step by step.
After walking for a few hundred meters, Zhou Yi and Mo Qingcheng suddenly turned around and slipped into a building.
Mo Qingcheng looked at Zhou Yi in surprise. She didn't know why Zhou Yi would do that. Who knew that in the next second, Zhou Yi would actually use the sword in his sleeve …
