Chapter 307 Bone Burial Ground Yang Rongrong counted the names one by one: "There are also Taotie, Pixiu, and Taowu."Bai Ze opened his eyes little by little, and his furry face showed an intense surprise that could not be concealed. "Are they all still alive?" Yang Rongrong nodded: "They are all waiting outside the secret realm. If you can go out with us, you can see them." Bai Ze was stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, not everyone is dead, there are still people alive, that's great, that's great!" But as he laughed, he began to cry. “But I can’t get out. I can’t get out.” Yang Rongrong felt something in her heart and had a vague guess: "You can't be..." Bai Ze confirmed her guess. "I am already dead."

Yang Rongrong looked at him in a daze. Bai Ze closed his eyes and let the tears slide down his cheeks. "The catastrophe that happened was too tragic. Almost all living things died, and I was not spared. But my obsession persisted, and my soul lingered in the human world, refusing to leave. What you see now is just a ghost." When the truth was revealed, his body gradually became translucent and returned to its spiritual state. Yang Rongrong didn't know what she was thinking of, and her expression changed slightly: "If you are a ghost, then are the villagers of Taoyuan Village also?" Bai Ze immediately denied her guess. "The villagers are all living people. They came here by mistake to escape the war. I couldn't bear to see them fleeing, so I allowed them to stay and live." Having said this, he opened his eyes, lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, his tone became particularly deep. "This place is actually where I am buried. Although I am dead, my bones still retain some spiritual power. I used the spiritual power to build a barrier so that outsiders cannot enter this place. The villagers can live here in peace." During the day, he is the kind and gentle Bai Village Chief. At night, he would transform back into the auspicious beast Bai Ze and patrol the village over and over again to protect the safety of everyone in the village. Protecting innocent lives is his innate mission and the greatest obsession in his heart. And this obsession is also the reason why his soul remains. Bai Ze's emotions gradually calmed down, and he continued, "The skeleton's spiritual power is almost exhausted, and the barrier of Taoyuan Village has weakened. It is because of this that you and those ghost cultivators were able to find the entrance and enter Taoyuan Village." Having said this, he knelt down in front of Yang Rongrong again and begged. "Soon the skeleton's spiritual power will be completely exhausted, and Taoyuan Village will be completely exposed to the ghosts. Those ghost cultivators will not let the villagers go. I beg you to help take the villagers to a safe place." Yang Rongrong stared at him: "What about you?" "I can't leave. My bones are here. My soul can never leave here." His voice was so desolate that it made people feel choked up.

Yang Rongrong thought of the hospitable villagers and agreed without much hesitation. "I will take them away and help them find a place where they can live permanently." Bai Ze raised his head and looked into her eyes. The guilt and regret in his heart were almost overflowing. Now Yang Rongrong can't even save herself, but she is still willing to work hard to help save others. This is enough to show that she is kind-hearted and sensible. If they had all put aside their prejudices, lowered their proud heads, sat down and had a good talk with her, and were willing to give her the right to choose, perhaps things would not have come to this point today. Thinking of this, he once again sincerely repented. "I'm sorry, we were wrong, we were all so wrong." In the night clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with a terrifying posture of impending storm. Obviously, the high and mighty emperor did not agree with this statement. Bai Ze looked up at the night sky and knew that there was not much time left. With the emperor's character, after learning that Yang Rongrong was here, he would definitely send someone here to get rid of Yang Rongrong immediately. It’s not advisable to stay here for long, Bai Ze stood up and said to Yang Rongrong. "Do you have anything else to ask? If not, leave here as soon as possible." Yang Rongrong immediately asked: "There is one last question, where is the Emperor?" Bai Ze asked back: "Why are you asking this?" "I want to find him." Bai Ze saw a strong murderous intent in Yang Rongrong's eyes, and his heart trembled involuntarily. "You do not want……" He tried to dissuade her, but was interrupted by a bolt of lightning before he could finish his words. This time the thunder struck Bai Ze! Bai Ze dodged quickly and just avoided the attack. He looked at the place on the ground that was struck by lightning, and his face looked very ugly. He knew very well that the Emperor was warning him not to reveal the information to Yang Rongrong. In fact, he had not intended to reveal it, but the Emperor's threatening behavior made him change his mind all of a sudden. Because he felt the fear hidden in the emperor's heart. If the Emperor really had a clear conscience, why would he be afraid of Yang Rongrong coming looking for him? Maybe there was something fishy going on back then. Thinking of this, Bai Ze no longer hesitated and spoke directly. "The Emperor is above the Thirty-Three Heavens. You only need to ascend to become an immortal to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens." To become an immortal is a very slim possibility for ordinary cultivators, but Bai Ze knows that Yang Rongrong is not an ordinary cultivator. As long as she can recover her memory, she can become an immortal and enter the thirty-third heaven!

Almost as soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, thunder struck again in the night sky. This time, there were a huge number of thunders, and countless lightning bolts came like an overwhelming force, as if they were going to smash the entire Taoyuan Village to pieces! Bai Ze had no way to avoid it, and his soul was directly pierced through by the thunder. The translucent body trembled slightly, like smoke that would dissipate at the touch, appearing particularly thin and weak. He ignored his own bad condition and spoke to Yang Rongrong. "You guys should leave quickly, or you will be stuck." Yang Rongrong took out an exquisite wooden boat from her Qiankun bag. It was a flying magic weapon that could accommodate hundreds of people when opened. But magical weapons cannot be used here now, so she looked at Bai Ze and asked. "Can the barrier be removed?" After the barrier is removed, the magic weapons and talismans can be used again, but Taoyuan Village will be exposed to the evil spirits. Bai Ze looked at the thunder that was still falling in the night sky. It seemed that the Emperor was really angry this time and was determined to kill him. He looked at the houses in the village again. At this moment, most of the villagers were still staying at home and did not dare to move. However, some people could not help but be curious. For example, Hongguo, at this time she carefully opened the window a crack and looked out secretly. She saw thunder all over the sky, the bumpy ground, and the auspicious beast Bai Ze standing in the night. Bai Ze happened to see her at this time. One man and one beast, looking into each other's eyes. Hongguo's pupils trembled, and she was so frightened that she almost forgot to breathe. She knew she was discovered, and she thought the white-haired monster would pounce on her and eat her, but the next moment, she saw the monster smiled gently and said something to her. "Take care, kid."
