Dark clouds.
Lin Hui stood at the edge of Yuhai, looking down at the dark blue sea below.
The seawater is fading.
He raised his head and looked up at the huge crack above Black Cloud City that was rapidly healing.
Starting yesterday, this huge crack began to inexplicably heal and close on its own.
Without any reason or fluctuation, it was as if everything had fallen into place naturally, and it began to close automatically on its own.
“Since yesterday, we’ve felt something was wrong. Something big must have happened in the capital that we don’t know about,” Gongsun Xinlian said in a deep voice behind him.
“I don’t feel anything,” Lin Hui frowned.
“But my second brother, eldest brother, and I all sense that the evil soldiers are restless. Their evil energy seems to be waning,” Gongsun Xinlian said solemnly.
"Recession?" Lin Hui's heart stirred slightly. Just as he was about to ask another question, he suddenly looked up into the distance.
They seemed to have sensed something.
"Xinlian, you should go back first," he whispered.
Gongsun Xinlian looked in that direction, but couldn't see anything. There was nothing there, only a stretch of ordinary blue-black jade seawater.
She was puzzled, but she also knew that the gap between her and Lin Hui's strength was widening, so she stopped talking.
"If anything happens, let us know immediately. I can't help you alone, but with my two older brothers together, we can definitely handle any situation!"
"Thank you!" Lin Hui nodded solemnly.
Xie Chang'an's evil power is indeed terrifying. If he doesn't hold back, then once he fully unleashes the power of his evil power, there are indeed few people who can stop him.
Even if it's him, it won't work.
Seeing that Lin Hui seriously agreed, Gongsun Xinlian turned around and disappeared instantly.
Lin Hui was left alone, standing at the edge of the dock.
"Speaking of which, lately a lot of people have been coming to visit me. Do I have some kind of miraculous medicine here? Everyone wants to try their luck." Lin Hui shifted his gaze to the dark blue sea directly in front of him.
There, floating, was a middle-aged man in blue who looked somewhat familiar.
His hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled, but his eyes shone with a deep, dark light and a hint of sadness.
This person was none other than the leader of the Mingxin Society, who had recently sent an avatar to visit.
“You’ve misunderstood.” He smiled wryly. “I came here just in the hope that you might be able to see me.”
"See you?" Lin Hui was startled to realize that the other party did not seem to be human, but rather a strange, non-physical form.
There was no physical or mental fluctuation in the other party, and no air vibration during the transmission of sound.
Even the trace of a soul was nowhere to be found.
He had previously used the Nine Eyes to absorb souls and had some knowledge of soul fluctuations. But at this moment, he couldn't even sense any soul fluctuations from the other party.
"Won't you invite me in for a seat?" The Master of Mingxin Society smiled.
"Haiming pollution killed my teacher and my stepmother. What kind of mentality makes you dare to say such things to me?" Lin Hui said coldly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." The leader of the Mingxin Society gave a wry smile. "But do you really think that without Haiming, they would necessarily live longer?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Hui retorted.
"The decay is accelerating. It's not just for us, but for ordinary people as well," said the Master of the Mingxin Society. "You should also know that if it were truly the Sea Echo, they shouldn't have died, but should have survived as creatures of the abyss."
Lin Hui remained silent.
Actually, he had some suspicions before. Now, the other party has just pointed them out.
Perhaps it wasn't that they were corrupted by the sea's influence, but rather the other way around; because they were corrupted and their bodies became weak, they were simultaneously contaminated by the sea's influence.
But at this point, arguing about these things is pointless.
"So what is your purpose in coming here?" Lin Hui asked again.
The Master of Mingxin Society gave a wry smile and did not answer immediately.
He turned around and looked at the mist on the sea, which was much thinner than before. He fell silent.
Lin Hui didn't urge him either. He seemed to sense something as well, and silently waited on the side.
Several minutes passed.
The leader of the Mingxin Society then spoke again.
"Actually, I knew I would lose before I even set off on this trip."
"Then why did you still go?"
“Because if you don’t go, you’ll never be able to let go, never be able to forget.” Master Mingxin smiled.
“My brother, the most revered and powerful Mist Emperor, is no longer the same person he once was.”
"Beneath his fully armored imperial suit lies something entirely different that existed ten thousand years ago."
He raised his hand and looked at his fingertips, which were slowly fading, becoming transparent, and shattering into fine, transparent sand.
"He died in that torrential night rain ten thousand years ago. On the night the four major pollutants attacked together, he was possessed by something even more terrifying."
"So, you're doing this for revenge?" Lin Hui frowned.
“Revenge? I’m not that noble.” The Master of Mingxin Society shook his head. “I’m just doing this for ourselves.”
“You’re disappearing.” Lin Hui also noticed the change in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's alright," the Master of Mingxin smiled. "Because I might already be dead. Dead in the deep sea on the edge of the capital. Before I set off, I left some means in advance to warn you, or all of you. The truth should not be erased by time. You must understand what you are truly about to face." "But you just said that no one can see you except me," Lin Hui said.
“Yes. So I miscalculated.” The Master of the Mingxin Society nodded. “If, I mean, if I’m not mistaken, they will set another limit, just like last time. After that, the world order will be reshaped. And again, many, many people will die this time.”
"What is the time limit?" Lin Hui pressed.
"Don't rush, you'll find out soon enough. Just like my brother was forced to disappear into the night fog back then. Many, many people will do the same."
His legs and arms had mostly disappeared, leaving only his body floating in mid-air.
“Finally,” he turned his head. “Could I take another look at Fei Shi?”
Lin Hui did not reply, but his expression remained cold as a thought crossed his mind.
A fierce wind raged around them, and the next second, they appeared inside the underground wind prison of Qingfei Mountain.
In the dimly lit prison cell.
Song Feishi sat quietly at the dining table, dressed in a white dress, her long hair tied back with a white ribbon, eating her dinner.
Dinner consisted of a large piece of white fish, some green cauliflower, diced tomatoes, and a small amount of dark rice.
“I took something from her.” The Master of Mingxin Society was not discovered because the Wind Prison was one-way; those inside could not detect visitors from outside.
"She will lose a lot, but she will also gain a lot."
"So you dumped her with me as a way of seeking refuge here?" Lin Hui realized.
"Actually, it's not just you. I've placed them in many different places. But it seems that only three places haven't had any problems. One of them is here." The Master of Mingxin smiled apologetically.
At this point, his body had been shattered to pieces in his chest.
“If one day, you truly decide to rebel against everything,” he turned around, “I will lend you a hand.”
Looking at Song Feishi, a peaceful smile appeared on his face.
"In the end, I can finally stand tall and say to my brother that I have not let him down."
Wow.
In his final moments, his entire body shattered completely, turning into transparent specks of light that vanished into nothingness.
Lin Hui squinted, staring at the spot where he had disappeared. There was nothing there, as if nothing had ever existed in the first place.
He turned his gaze to the oblivious Song Feishi, then turned away and disappeared.
He guessed that the leader of the Mingxin Society had left something on Song Feishi. This was the thing he had mentioned that might be of help to him in the future.
but.
What does that have to do with him?
With the Yin-Yang Divine Sword, he now has the means to curb decay. All he needs to do now is live a good life and develop the earth's energy below Qingfei Mountain.
Everything else in the outside world was irrelevant to him.
Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Hui walked out of the Wind Prison.

September.
The Federation's biggest rebellion was completely quelled, and all the Sea Cracks closed automatically and disappeared.
All the corrupted monsters degenerated and disappeared.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Aside from the many who had already died, all the cities began to be rebuilt, and new Fogman city lords were re-elected and assigned to various places.
The massive, chaotic roar of the sea was like a mirage, nothing more than a dream.
While using the Blood Seal to evolve some relics that would make Qingfei Mountain self-sufficient, Lin Hui also explored the underground environment and observed and recorded the earth's energy.
The first thing Bloodstained did was address the water source.
Lin Hui selected a medium-to-large-sized artifact called the Original Water Column from the large pile of relics.
The artifact's ability is to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment, transform it into pure water, and then seep out from the surface of the pillar.
This environment has a fairly fast water absorption capacity. It absorbs water from all non-living organisms. It is a core component in the water filtration system commonly used by Black Cloud.
But Lin Hui took one and used it to evolve directly with the Blood Seal.
It evolved towards the direction of the Heavenly Spring Divine Pillar.
'The Heavenly Spring Pillar absorbs fundamental particles from the surrounding matter, freely synthesizing water molecules and transforming them into a basic water source. The speed is extremely fast.'
This has a much wider range of applications, since most organic and inorganic substances contain the basic atoms that make up water molecules.
The most abundant element is air.
Besides this, the Blood Seal has also evolved an endless pillar of fire that connects to the underworld, providing an endless source of fire for Qingfei Mountain.
By the time we got here, we had almost used up all the medicine we had accumulated.
What he is currently evolving is the entire Qingfei Mountain's mobile formation, intending to further enhance the speed of movement when running away.
While Lin Hui was focused on his cultivation and enjoying a peaceful life with Liu Xiao,
A sudden and dramatic change shattered the tranquility of life.
Xie Chang'an, Zhang Yao, and Gongsun Xinlian all gathered at the First Floating Mountain.
Not only them, but also many other Mist People who had joined Black Cloud City had gathered here at this time.
When Lin Hui arrived, all the Fog People had solemn and grim expressions, clearly at a loss for what to do.
“Ah Hui, the evil power of all of us is declining!” Xie Chang’an was the first to speak when he saw Lin Hui enter.
