The night stars flew at the intersection of darkness and light. Darkness made him feel at ease, and light made him yearn for it. For a moment, conflicting emotions filled Ye Xing's body and mind.
"When did I become so sentimental?”
He laughed out loud, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. There was no sign of a smile at all. The sense of powerlessness in the depths of his heart made Ye Xing feel sorrowful for watching Tianming fall into deep pain without being able to do anything!
How much of his anger was real? How fake was that? He didn't know it himself, but he had complicated feelings about the stars of the night. He had a friendship with his first friend, a trace of pity and love due to his age, and even a hidden jealousy.
Ye Xing knew that Ge Nia's attention was mostly on Tianming, and he did not think too highly of him. If it wasn't for Tianming's insistence and his ability to fly, Ge Nia probably wouldn't have agreed to bring him along so easily. Ye Xing was very clear about this.
However, humans were not rational creatures most of the time. He was also dominated by emotions, so deep in his confidence, Ye Xing was a little jealous of Tianming. However, at the same time, he was also envious and blessed.
"Humans are really complicated animals. They are unpredictable!”Ye Xing muttered. His wings flapped unconsciously. When Ye Xing regained his senses and saw that he was wandering at the edge of light and darkness, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart!
"Do I belong to the light or the darkness? Or am I wandering between light and darkness? Hehe, this was quite like a literary saying from his previous life.'My body is in darkness, my heart is in light!'”
Ye Xing gave a strange smile and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. He slowly suppressed some of the messy thoughts in his heart." It's time to get down to business. This time, I have to find a few chickens. Otherwise, Tianming's energy for today will be gone again!”
With a strange smile, Ye Xing began his great business of finding chickens and at the same time, he had a 'full meal' at the same time. Although he didn't meditate and circulate his internal energy last night, he only let it circulate on its own, so his desire to suck blood wasn't very strong now. However, in order to prevent any unexpected situations, Ye Xing decided to maintain his peak state at all times.
After making up his mind, Ye Xing began to reduce his flight altitude and began to search for his prey.

Early in the morning, in a wooden house in the forest, a man sat in a wide chair with his eyes closed in deep thought. His white hair draped over his shoulders, and he wore a thick coat. His deep outline and thin face made this man full of evil charm.
The crisp sound of footsteps could be heard. A woman was wearing an off-shoulder cheongsam. Her shoulders were red and gold, and her black and gray waist accentuated her slender waist. The red, orange, and yellow skirt revealed her slender legs as she walked. The protective straps on her legs, the dark purple and a few gold and red stripes on her wedge heels, all of which showed her beauty.
The woman swayed her hips and walked to the front of the man. Under her long and thick eyelashes, her amber eyes looked at the man's face. The corners of her eyes were raised, and her light yellow eyeshadow made her big, misty eyes even more obvious.
The two of them remained silent. At this moment, Chi Lian wished that time could stop at this moment." It's enough to just look at him silently like this. I don't ask for much!”Chi Lian thought to herself.
However, the silent man would not change because of her thoughts. He had always been a maverick man.
The man sitting with his eyes closed did not open his eyes. He only said indifferently,"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if there's nothing important?”
Chi Lian's eyes were a little dim, but her expression returned to normal in an instant. Her red lips opened slightly and she said softly,
"Zhuang…"
"Huh?" A calm voice filled with oppression and majesty sounded.
Chi Lian's expression darkened again. She forced a smile and changed her words,""Lord Wei Zhuang, Lin 'er's subordinates have sent news. I think you'll be interested!”
"I hate it when people keep me in suspense. What news? If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then leave!”Indifferent, cold, and distant!
Chi Lian gritted her teeth as if she wanted to bite Hong Chun. However, she smiled and said gently,""There's news about Ge Nia in the game!”Chi Lian paused!
"Oh! Ge Nia, interesting. What news? Speak!”Wei Zhuang opened his indifferent silver-blue eyes. He seemed to be interested and sat up straight.
Seeing Wei Zhuang like this, Chi Lian seemed to be happier, and her voice became gentler." There are rumors in the martial world that Ge Nie has defected to the State of Qin. According to the results of Lin 'er's investigation, it should be true!”
Wei Zhuang supported his chin with one hand and listened with interest.
"Oh, finally defected? It's a little later than I expected, but it's still within my expectations. Hehehe! Has my senior finally realized that the State of Qin is not his ideal country? I wonder how it feels to be helping a tyrant! Tell Lin 'er to pay close attention to news about Ge Nia and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. I can feel a storm coming! It's been a long time since there's been any prey in Quicksand…"
Seeing Wei Zhuang's reaction, Chi Lian was also a little happy.
"You may leave!"
"Yes, sir! Lord Wei Zhuang."
Looking at Wei Zhuang who had closed his eyes again, Chi Lian responded softly and walked out of the wooden house with a twist of her body!

In Xianyang City, in a luxurious yet elegant room, there were rolls of bamboo slips. In the room that was filled with the fragrance of ink, an old man in a white silk Confucian robe with white hair, eyebrows, and beard was sitting cross-legged behind a desk. His head was moving up and down.
If one were to get close, he would hear the old man who seemed to have woken up early in the morning to read seriously snoring softly. His even breathing suddenly became a little messy, and the old man seemed to unconsciously mutter a sentence.
"Troubled times! The weather had changed, and so did fate! Bright, dark, domineering, clever, sharp, brave, with one more person, there would be a change! He couldn't care much when he was old. The world still depended on the young!”
After muttering for a few rounds, the old man regained his even breathing and fell asleep again. It was as if everything that had happened just now was just the old man's unconscious sleep-talking, and no one had heard it.

In a room in the morning court of Xianyang Palace that was specially prepared for the Prime Minister, Li Si stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at a map of Great Qin's territory in the room and suddenly, toot knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Lord Prime Minister, there's urgent news!”
"Send it in!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, a young eunuch respectfully walked in with a tray in his hand and left after the waiter at the door let him in.
Li Si stopped looking at the map and strolled to the table. He picked up the piece of paper on the tray and looked at it for a long time before putting it down. Li Si said to an attendant standing by the door,""Send this piece of information to the Black Swordsman as soon as possible. Tell him to rush there immediately. It's time for this Ghostblade to appear!”
"Yes!"
···········
In the dark room, a thin figure was completely hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see any of his face. At this moment, a figure in a black tight-fitting suit appeared silently and knelt on one knee.
"Lord Prefect, Ge Nia has appeared. He seems to have brought two children with him on this escape!”
"Oh, two children. Interesting! Did the Prime Minister give any orders?”A slightly feminine voice sounded.
"The Prime Minister has already sent a message to the Black Swordsman! He told him to speed up to his destination and prepare to intercept Ge Nia!”
"Black Swordsman? The Great Ravager was also a good weapon. If the Prime Minister had not tried to stop him in the past, he believed that he would have been a member of the net by now. What a pity!”
"Sir, should we also…"
"Let's wait and see. Since there's no order, we shouldn't attack casually. We should weave the net first and wait for the prey to take the bait. Step by step, we will shrink his living space and kill him with a final blow. This is the real net!”
"Sir is wise!"
"The net has to be woven step by step, the game has to be played step by step, and the chess pieces have to be played one piece at a time. Don't be anxious. Pass down the orders. Without my orders, no one is to act casually. Tell the people everywhere to be careful and not to alarm anyone.”
"Yes!" The man in black trembled and was about to retreat!
"Wait! En, double the number of people to keep a close eye on Ge Nia's whereabouts and inform me at any time. Also, send another copy to the prime minister. We can use Ge Nia's matter to distract some people! You can leave now!"
"Yes!"
The silent darkness engulfed the place once again.

In a vast underground palace under Xianyang, countless pale people wearing high hats were patrolling. Suddenly, a light tapping sound was heard, and the figure of a young man gradually appeared. The young man was quite handsome, but the strange light purple flame pattern around his left eye destroyed his temperament and made him full of a different kind of charm. He wore strange light purple clothes and his skin was abnormally white, as if he had not seen the sun for many years.
The youth was not afraid of the floating figures around him at all. He had an indifferent expression as if he was used to it. However, when he passed by them, these floating figures would stop and bow respectfully.
A moment later, the young man entered a secret room in the underground palace. He stood with his hands behind his back as if he was waiting for someone. After a while, the door rang and closed again. The young man did not turn around." Any news from the Moon Goddess?"”An evil and indifferent voice.
"Lord Xing Hun, the Moon Goddess hasn't been acting abnormally recently, but I just sent a message to her!”A ghastly voice rang out.
"Oh! What information?"
"Information regarding Sword Saint Ge Nia!”
"Ge Nia? Why did she pay so much attention to him? However, according to her personality, she should not do meaningless things! Give me a copy of any news related to Ge Nia in the future.”
"Yes, Lord Xing Hun!"
············
In an unknown spacious room, the room was so dark that people could not see each other's faces clearly. Countless people of all walks of life, dressed in different clothes, sat in different postures, and spoke differently were discussing intensely. It was as if none of them could persuade the other! In the end, they parted on bad terms.
In the Divine Great Land, countless similar scenes were playing out. Under the calm ocean, countless undercurrents started to flow. No one knew what was brewing!
