The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 129 A Scene of Chaos

Hao Juji didn't think much of it and readily agreed, "Okay!" Then he quickly got to work!

With Qingwu's tacit approval, Yu Bingwen took on the task of allocating tasks for the entire team, and everyone proceeded in an orderly manner.

Three days later...

After Qingwu had finished regulating her breathing and her spiritual energy had almost recovered, she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, her brows furrowed deeply, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and she sighed heavily in her heart!

Hao Anqi finished his meditation before Qingwu, and when he opened his eyes, he saw patches of scarlet soil in front of him, with the stench of blood permeating the entire space.

Occasionally, one can see some broken limbs scattered on the ground. The once clear river has become murky and filthy. The carcasses of some spirit beasts are soaked in it, their bright red blood mingling with the water. The entire river and nearby lakes have turned bright red, and most of the surrounding vegetation has been trampled beyond recognition.

Looking up at the sky, you can see a few birds circling in the air, and occasionally you can hear the calls of spirit beasts coming from afar.

A sense of loneliness was spreading throughout the space, slowly filling it with an aura of solitude, as if telling a story of past beauty and peace, now reduced to desolation. Solitude, coldness, and emptiness enveloped the heart.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the great battle from many years ago, and seemed to feel once again how small and powerless a person would be when faced with loneliness, no matter how powerful they are.

He released his divine sense to investigate the situation tens of thousands of miles away and found that it was all the same. The destructive power of the beast tide was undoubtedly enormous. However, this secret realm had self-repairing ability, and it would probably be able to recover when it was opened again!

After Hao Anqi finished his examination, he felt that Qingwu beside him seemed to have recovered almost completely. Her gaze towards him was filled with worry. The scene before him reminded him of the great battle many years ago. He knew clearly that this was post-war trauma. He himself had it, let alone her!

Ever since Qingwu ended, Hao Anqi has been keeping a close eye on her every move.

Meanwhile, Yu Bingwen and the other two were each injecting spiritual energy into the array plate to continue maintaining the normal operation of the array.

Yu Bingwen noticed their situation, but didn't say much. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a scene. Although it was far from being comparable to a major battle, those who had participated in a major battle would still have psychological trauma. Such trauma was difficult to heal, and whether they could get over it depended entirely on the two of them!

Needless to say, Chen Suili has an extremely strong bias towards their sect leader. He believes that his sect leader has a reason for everything he does, and he only needs to follow it. Although he is worried, he has seen a lot of ups and downs and he believes that his sect leader is not so fragile!

Finally, Hao Anqi broke the silence between them. He believed in Qingwu. She had survived the great battle, and he believed she would eventually overcome it. After all, she was someone Qingming had taken a liking to. Although she sometimes acted recklessly, she was always someone you could trust in crucial moments.

Hao Anqi softened his tone, even adding a subtle gentleness, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Qingwu snapped out of her reverie upon hearing the question, her expression suddenly changing as she looked at Hao Anqi as if she had seen a ghost.

Qingwu doubted her ears, pointed at herself uncertainly, and asked again, "Are you asking me?"

Hao Anqi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Qingwu and nodded earnestly, replying, "Yes!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Qingwu seriously doubted whether she was in an illusion. Otherwise, how could she have heard a gentle meaning in Hao Anqi's words? Why did this world feel so fantastical?

In fact, Qingwu's self-doubt was not without reason, which can be explained by their understanding of each other, but to make a long story short.
