The stars were calm, like a dark ocean sleeping when there was no wind or waves. The stars were like a mother's eyes, twinkling. It would make a homesick person feel especially melancholy.
Especially when there was no one close to them, the twinkling eyes would become blurry and turn into a sense of sadness and longing. It would linger in the bottom of one's heart for a long time until it became a sigh.
Cultivators were also people … They also had emotions and desires, memories, and all kinds of reluctance.
"They bullied me, but you punished them too lightly. I want you to turn that Xu Liguo into a pig, no, a leaf, and then let me step on him. I want to trample him to death!
"And that Liu Jinbiao, he dared to lie to me. Hmph, the consequences of lying to me are very miserable. Making him a slave for 1,000 years is too lenient. Turn him into a leaf and let me step on him. I want to trample him to death!"
The madman followed behind Wang Lin and began to ramble again. He repeated what he said until it turned into a buzzing sound that lingered in Wang Lin's ears.
When the madman saw that Wang Lin was looking at the stars in the distance and had no intention of paying any attention to him, he couldn't take it anymore. After roaring at Wang Lin, he actually began to circle around Wang Lin. As he circled, he roared. It seemed like if Wang Lin didn't listen to him, he wouldn't give up.
Wang Lin silently walked forward and got closer and closer to Suzaku.
Even if he closed his eyes, he could find Suzaku in the Brilliant Void. This might have something to do with the spell, but it was mostly because of the spirit on Suzaku that made his soul grieve.
The madman's rambling became even more intense. He didn't stop at all along the way, and he didn't feel tired at all. He continued to circle and roar.
"Turn into a leaf, I want to step on it!!"
"Enough!"
After the madman repeated himself several times, Wang Lin's thoughts were successfully interrupted. He raised his right hand and grabbed the madman that was circling him. The madman stopped in front of him.
"Be quiet." Wang Lin looked at the madman and slowly said.
Madman was grabbed by Wang Lin. He stared at Wang Lin and roared, "Turn into a leaf!"
Wang Lin frowned.
"I don't care, you have to turn them into leaves, leaves, leaves!!"
The madman roared incessantly, like a child who wanted a toy in front of his parents, shouting loudly. "
In fact, you've already seen through their thoughts and scams … "Wang Lin's voice was calm as he spoke slowly.
"Uh … This King … This King didn't see it."
The madman was taken aback. He rolled his eyes and quickly shook his head. His action of shaking his head looked like a child playing with a rattle drum.
Wang Lin gave the madman a meaningful look. He loosened his grip on the madman's body and walked forward.
"The blood you gave to Xu Liguo and Liu Jinbiao is simply waste. All of their blood added together is not even half a drop of your real blood!
They lied to you, but you also lied to them. Do you still want to use this kind of trick in front of me?
I, Wang Lin, only ask for fairness. The punishment for those two is enough, so don't nag anymore. "Wang Lin's back was facing the madman as his words slowly came.
The madman blinked and his face turned red. He giggled for a long time before muttering, "This King is such a smart person, how could I be deceived by them … But that Xu Liguo and Liu Jinbiao really do have the ability to deceive this King. Hmph, they are too bad. Fortunately, this King knows that his blood is very precious. Back then, that someone …"
As the madman muttered to himself, he saw Wang Lin walk away and quickly chased after Wang Lin.
His voice slowly weakened. After walking beside Wang Lin for a while, he looked at Wang Lin with a puzzled expression. The feeling he had when he first came out of the Nether Beast gradually returned to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin silently pondered along the way. He didn't say a word until a planet filled with dense spiritual energy appeared before him!
This planet wasn't big and could only be considered a small planet. However, the moment he saw this planet, Wang Lin's body trembled and he stopped.
He silently looked at the cultivation planet and the familiar hometown that was imprinted in his mind. Many faces appeared before Wang Lin's eyes. These familiar people gradually formed his life on Suzaku.
The melancholy on his face became even stronger.
Things remain the same, but people change. This was originally a phrase used to describe the passage of time. However, Wang Lin felt that even the things that never changed had changed. This was no longer something that could be described as things remain the same, but people change … Wang Lin stared at Suzaku. There was a powerful formation outside the planet. This formation spread out in all directions and was constantly rotating. Ripples echoed across the star system.
Wang Lin remembered that this formation wasn't here when he left.
From his view, this formation hadn't been set up for long, only a few decades.
After a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh and slowly walked forward. The madman followed behind Wang Lin and curiously looked at Suzaku.
As the two of them walked, several rays of light flew toward Suzaku. There were four cultivators inside these rays of light, three men and one woman, one old and three young. Their expressions were filled with respect as they flew past Wang Lin and the madman toward the formation outside Suzaku.
"This is Suzaku, the hometown of the Lord of the Sealed Realm!"
As the cultivators in the four beams of light neared the Rune, the old man spoke with a serious expression on his face.
"After entering Suzaku, all of you must remember not to cause trouble. This is the holy land of the Brilliant Void and even the Inner Realm. There are many powerful old monsters guarding this planet for the Lord of the Sealed Realm!"
The old man warned, and the three young cultivators behind him quickly nodded. Their gazes toward Suzaku became even more respectful.
Wang Lin slowly walked toward Suzaku's formation. He was thousands of feet away from the four cultivators. He looked at Suzaku inside the formation and his expression became even more melancholic.
The madman beside him was very lonely. He couldn't help but miss Xu Liguo and Liu Jinbiao, and he began to mutter in his heart.
"In truth, those two fellows were pretty good to this king …"
As he muttered, he looked around and saw the four people thousands of feet away. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Haha, those three little girls, tell this king your names and this king will reward you!" The madman's eyes shined and he immediately raised his right hand to greet the four cultivators.
His words were so sudden that the four cultivators couldn't help but be startled, especially the woman. She even subconsciously looked behind her, thinking that there were more cultivators coming from the distance.
The madman was filled with excitement and roared, "Why are you looking back? This king isn't talking about you, I'm talking about the three little girls beside you. Little girls, what are your names …"
After he spoke, aside from the old man, the expressions of the other two young men changed. They coldly stared at the madman and their eyes became cold. Just as they were about to speak, the old man frowned and raised his hand to stop his disciple.
The old man frowned and raised his hand to stop his disciple from speaking. He didn't look at the madman but at Wang Lin, who was still looking at planet Suzaku with reminiscence in his eyes.
"Fellow Cultivator, you must have come to pay a visit to the Lord of the Sealed Realm's hometown. The Lord of the Sealed Realm's hometown is a holy land. I hope you can restrain your companions and not lose face."
After the old man finished speaking, he no longer looked at Wang Lin. He waved his sleeves and walked toward the formation outside of Suzaku with his three disciples.
The three disciples turned around and glared fiercely at the madman. Especially the two young men, their faces were full of shame and anger.
The madman pouted and revealed an aggrieved expression as he muttered,
"If you don't want to say your name, then don't say it. Why are you still glaring at this king … This king is just asking for your name."
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he patted the madman's shoulder and led him toward the formation. He didn't directly enter Suzaku but chose to enter through the formation.
Since he had returned home, he had to enter through the front door. There was no reason to avoid it.
The old man led his three disciples into the Rune. The instant they stepped into it, the Rune shone brightly, and two people walked out. They were old men. Their figures were faintly discernible, and their gazes were like lightning as they calmly looked at the people who had entered the Rune.
"Old Man, Virtuous Son of Planet Bright Plum of the Summoned River. I brought three disciples to make a pilgrimage. I hope Divine Messenger can open the formation and let us enter." The old man's expression was serious as he clasped his hands at the two illusory figures.
One of the two illusory figures said, "Suzaku is open to all cultivators in the Inner Realm. Do you know the rules?"
"I know. I can't take anything from Suzaku or destroy anything from Suzaku. I can only stay on Suzaku for three days!" The old man nodded.
After hearing this, the two illusory figures formed seals and waved their hands. The formation lit up and a staircase appeared before the four of them. It went deep into the formation and connected to Suzaku.
The old man clasped his hands and led the three disciples behind him up the stairs. They slowly walked into the depths of the formation.
Wang Lin took the madman and calmly walked up the stairs toward Suzaku.
The two illusory figures didn't stop them but coldly looked at Wang Lin and the madman. It wasn't until they disappeared into the formation that one of the illusory figures frowned.
"I feel like this person is a bit familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before … Eh, you also have this feeling?
I feel the same, but I can't remember where I've seen this white-robed cultivator. "
The two of them pondered for a moment and then shook their heads as they gradually dissipated. The formation around Suzaku also slowly calmed down and the light dimmed until it disappeared.
Following the stairs, a moment later, Suzaku appeared before Wang Lin. The stairs under his feet were connected to the highest mountain on Suzaku. It was like a stairway to heaven!
The pursuers were fierce, very, very fierce. They were coming with Cone Nail to rape their chrysanthemums. They had arrived overnight, and cold sweat dripped from the tips of their ears. They felt like their chastity was about to be destroyed …
