he must have been someone from the Heavenly Seal Sword Sect, with a sect’s feather hanging from his waist, he’s not just any ordinary member but the Sect Master of the Heavenly Seal Sword Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu made a sound of agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An continued with a sigh, “So it turns out that Sect Master Yu had already perished here long ago; then the current Heavenly Seal Sword Master in the world…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could he be an impostor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough cough!” Fang Geyu choked, “Perish and the like, such words should not be thrown around carelessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An couldn’t understand why she reacted so strongly, “Did I guess wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu flicked him on the forehead and said, “Not only are you wrong, but you’re also terribly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t go around cursing Sword Master Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, holding his forehead, said, “The deceased has passed, does it really matter who the owner of these white bones was?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu looked at him with a deep and lingering gaze for a long time, making Baili An feel very uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with a sigh, she said something shocking, “What if I said these are your bones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was stunned for a moment, the meaning of those words eluding him, though he felt the beauty’s head he had hidden within his clothes seemed to slightly stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled, “Fang Geyu, are you tired?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking such nonsense, how could these possibly be my bones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu spoke seriously, “Neither of us knows exactly what kind of world lies beyond the Bronze Gate; it’s not unreasonable for inconceivable, bizarre events to occur there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Fang Geyu revealed the sleeve of the skeleton’s garment, showing two cinnabar-like dots deeply etched into the right arm bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s complexion changed, his eyes abruptly widening as he involuntarily gripped his fingers tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned stiff, “This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu wasn’t surprised by his reaction, “I remember you have the same marks on your arm, which have persisted for over two hundred years without fading, and not even a corpse demon’s Repair Power could erase them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me, has that wound grown into your bone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An felt as though there was something stuck in his chest, his thoughts a muddle, finding this all too absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could stay calm when faced with their own skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, somewhat dazed, “Even so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that doesn’t prove these bones are mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m standing right here, and yet you’re telling me my remains were found inside a dragon’s stomach, so what does that make me now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An felt this was all too unreal and quickly regained his composure, his hand brushing against his cheek, “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu also knew this was difficult to accept; had she not witnessed so many things with her own eyes, she would never dare to think it based solely on those two red dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was once taught by my grandfather a secret technique to pay respects to life and death, to use blood as a guide, to reconstruct a body from bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many immortals would store their fresh blood in treasures in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they fall and are reduced to bones, their descendants can perform the spell to regenerate flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this would not lead to true resurrection, it does provide their descendants and disciples with a complete body to subdue demons and evils.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you mean you want me to restore this body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu looked at him, her gaze unwaveringly persistent, “I want to know the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was at a loss with her, “What do you need me to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Fang Geyu began to perform a spell, her soft lips murmuring ancient incantations of divine skills, and soon a red thread of light emerged from her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thread wrapped around Baili An’s index finger, extremely sharp, cutting his skin to draw fresh red blood that dripped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your cultivation is not deep, and I haven’t fully mastered the magic either; there’s no need to fully rebuild the flesh of the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just need to see the face clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an emotionally heavy heart, Baili An nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he let his blood drop onto the skeleton’s white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood, soaked with the red thread of the spell, gradually reformed vibrant red muscles on the skeleton bit by bit, followed by skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes, nose, lips, ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearly perfect set of facial features appeared before the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension that had been building in Baili An finally began to relax, and he exhaled slowly, saying, “This isn’t my face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was strange—the face was actually Ying Xiu’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An couldn’t make sense of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ying Xiu, being the Heavenly Seal Sword Master, would normally be dressed in Heavenly Seal attire, how could a sect feather be worn on his person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, Young Masters of the Sword Sect only wear the Jade, and they are not qualified to wear the feather representing the leader of an entire sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in the world beyond the Bronze Gate for so long, this was the first time Baili An had experienced the mystery and unknown of the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not speak; her pupils were jet black and chilling, almost frighteningly so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the red thread from her fingertips dissipated, Baili An, looking down and licking his wound, did not notice her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Fang Geyu passed him the half-piece of green jade in her hand and asked softly, “Si Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have something I want to talk to you about, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alas, do modern human girls always talk in such a hesitating manner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t they learn from the daughters of our Demon Clan, to boldly offer their love to him when in love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he doesn’t accept, then knock him out with a club and carry him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you’re alone, embrace and hold your man, and he will become yours, won’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fang Geyu could finish, from the loose and baggy clothing of Baili An’s chest, emerged a stunningly beautiful face with enchanting allure, eerily too perfect to be real.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ecde12f7db8e661a7d3aa932714472942cebfadc3d34f570a46838ac07e7250","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-462","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-460",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
