Chapter 132: We’ll Go And Come Back Together.

Qi Ci stared at the black, twisted crack that appeared in front of him, it being the door to the Ghost Domain, and his mind was flooded with countless thoughts.

‘When did this crack appear?’

‘And why did it appear?’

‘Is it possible that the Evil Spirits inside will one day come out to disturb the Human World?’

“Chiwen….”

Suddenly, Qi Ci heard someone call him by his original name. Although it was strange to hear that name after such a long time, the familiarity of it made Qi Ci look up abruptly.

The voice had come from the crack, sounding both deep and hoarse. However, this voice aroused an inexplicable nostalgia in Qi Ci.

The voice continued, “Do you know why you were able to be reborn?”

Before Qi Ci could answer, the voice answered its own question. “It is because you still have unfinished affairs. It is your destiny to kill the last Evil Spirit within the Ghost Domain. Until your destiny is fulfilled, your life cannot come to an end.”

“Destiny?” At the thought of his elder siblings, Qi Ci’s eyes suddenly reddened. Qi Ci then asked aloud, “My elder siblings, who killed the Evil Spirits to protect the Human World, ended up being possessed through demonization, and ended up being killed by their relatives. Is this also part of the ‘destiny’ you are talking about?”

Whimpers echoed, but no one dared to respond.

Qi Ci rubbed his eyes hard with the back of his hand, gritted his teeth, and turned to continue searching for Bian Zhonghua. However, as soon as he turned around, a new voice came from inside the Ghost Domain. A voice Qi Ci was very familiar with: “Hey, don’t go…. if you leave, I won’t be able to achieve enlightenment and ascend as an Immortal.”

Qi Ci froze in place, and his lips parted slightly in disbelief. Trembling without being able to control himself, Qi Ci turned to look towards the crack in the air. Qi Ci shouted hesitantly: “Eighth, eighth brother?”

“Ninth brother, hurry up and come in. You’re the only one left.” A soft and gentle voice was heard this time.

That was the voice of his seventh brother.

Qi Ci stepped forward and asked: “Elder brother? You guys…. aren’t dead? Are you still in the Ghost Domain?”

Fu Xi’s voice, filled with guilt, was heard saying: “We….”

However, the voice stopped abruptly as someone approached and pressed Qi Ci’s shoulder.

Qi Ci came back to his senses and realized that he was only a few steps away from the crack of the Ghost Domain. So close, that if he were to take one more step, he would have fallen right into it.

Bian Zhonghua pulled Qi Ci to his side, and with a tone of voice filled with concern, said: “A dense mist suddenly covered the valley, and you disappeared when I wasn’t paying attention.”

Qi Ci said: “I lost you too. I walked to the peak of the mountain to find you.”

“What’s going on?” Bian Zhonghua looked up at the black crack and frowned.

“The door to the Ghost Domain has opened. It’s probably because I was supposed to spend 900 years there to get rid of the Evil Spirits. But now that 900 years have passed, and the Evil Spirits have not been eliminated….” Qi Ci didn’t finish his words, but Bian Zhonghua had understood it all already.

For a moment, neither of them uttered a word, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first. However, they ended up falling into an unbearably awkward silence.

Finally, Qi Ci looked into Bian Zhonghua’s eyes, slowly opened his mouth, and said: “If we don’t stop them, the Evil Spirits of the Ghost Domain will escape to the Human World and wreak havoc.”

Bian Zhonghua said nothing. He simply stared at Qi Ci.

Qi Ci lowered his head and continued: “Although my elder siblings didn’t attain enlightenment and ascend as Immortals, but rather became trapped Evil Spirits due to demonization, their original intention was to protect the Human World. They worked so hard for so many years, I cannot allow their sacrifices to be in vain.”

“I understand.” Bian Zhonghua suddenly spoke in an extremely calm tone of voice. “I will enter the Ghost Domain and get rid of the Evil Spirits.”

Qi Ci suddenly looked up: “What? You’ll go… go where? No…..”

A triumphant smile rose at the corners of Bian Zhonghua’s lips as he interrupted Qi Ci’s frantic and incoherent words: “What? You didn’t seem so scared when you wanted to enter the Ghost Domain, yet you panic when I’m the one who wants to enter?”

Qi Ci blurted out: “Because I care about you! I don’t want you to suffer!”

Bian Zhonghua let out a long sigh and said: “Little Gongzi, how can I let you go and suffer alone? I’ve waited for you for so long, that if we were to part again, I’m afraid I would collapse.”

Qi Ci became speechless all of a sudden.

“Besides, have you perhaps forgotten that your Dragon bone is inside me now?” Bian Zhonghua smiled faintly, activated his power, and his palm was bathed in golden light. At the same time, Qi Ci’s chest began to feel warm. Bian Zhonghua continued: “You once said that I was unable to enter the Ghost Domain, but now that I have the Dragon Bone, will I still be unable to go in?”

Qi Ci didn’t respond, and instead, reached out and tightly grabbed Bian Zhonghua’s sleeve. His attitude was so desperate, as though Bian Zhonghua was going to disappear in the next second.

In an instant, Qi Ci felt incredibly sad and suffocated.

Qi Ci knew that the Ghost Domain was abundant with only daily battles against Evil Spirits, which would later end up forming part of the sea of blood at their feet. It was like a dark purgatory, an extremely horrible place.

Why would Bian Zhonghua want to go to the Ghost Domain just to share his suffering?

“Don’t go, I….” Qi Ci hesitated, and his next words got stuck in his throat.

‘What was I going to say?’

‘I don’t want to be separated from you?’

‘In that case, should I let the gate of the Ghost Domain gradually open just to witness my elder siblings’ efforts become futile, thus ending all to no avail?’

‘Should I perhaps try to persuade Bian Zhonghua to stay here while I go into the Ghost Domain?’

However, despite his thoughts, Qi Ci could already feel the suffering of longing for each other running through every inch of his body even though they hadn’t been separated yet. ‘If I were to leave, wouldn’t Bian Zhonghua have to go through all this pain again?’

‘Then what? Will I have to see Bian Zhonghua go in my place?’

‘No, I won’t allow it.’

When Bian Zhonghua saw Qi Ci’s worried expression with a scowl, Bian Zhonghua knew that he was caught in a dilemma. With a faint smile, Bian Zhonghua held Qi Ci’s wrist in his hands and pulled him towards himself.

Taken by surprise, Qi Ci staggered forward, ending up in Bian Zhonghua’s arms.

Bian Zhonghua wrapped an arm around Qi Ci’s waist and said with a smile: “To tell you the truth, I’ve long since suspected that this day would come.”

“W-what? You knew all this time?” Qi Ci hugged Bian Zhonghua back and looked up to stare at him with wide eyes.

Bian Zhonghua nodded: “As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, my Clan has meticulously recorded all possible disasters, so that future generations can be aware of them, discover them in time, and thus save the world. When I read the ancient texts left by my Clan’s ancestors in the past, I discovered that unless all the Evil Spirits were completely eliminated from the Ghost Domain, a day will inevitably come when they will be able to break free from their shackles in the Ghost Domain and wreak havoc in the Mortal Realm. There is no other solution to this matter, and someone must enter the Ghost Dominion to eliminate the Evil Spirits. That being the case….” Bian Zhonghua suddenly showed a determined smile.

“In that case, neither of us will have to wait for the other. Let’s enter the Ghost Domain together! Let’s go together and return together!”

Qi Ci’s eyes suddenly lit up, shining like pure moonlight.

In an instant, all difficulties, all sufferings, and all fears disappeared entirely.

It turned out that all the tribulations and obstacles in the world couldn’t even compare to these simple words: We’ll go together and return together.

Qi Ci hugged Bian Zhonghua even tighter and replied with a trembling voice: “Alright. Let’s go together and return together!”
