It’s impossible to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as even a tiny fragment remains, it can resurrect itself, then rapidly expand, growing ever larger and longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why, back then, I had to rely on my yellow earth’s unique ability to suppress this kind of Mysterious Power, to firmly pin the entire vine down here in Cyan Mountain Cemetery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope rekindled in the middle-aged man, and he began to open up, telling Chu He everything he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes remained fixed on the young girl entwined by the thickest vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the middle-aged man wasn’t in a rush to save her, because he knew very well that the young girl had, in a sense, been accepted by the bizarre vine and become a part of it. Therefore, the vine would never harm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\" Chu He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nalan Fengshan,\" the middle-aged man replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your relationship with this girl?\" Chu He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Liceng also perked up her ears to listen. Her innate love of gossip naturally piqued her interest in the story between the middle-aged man and the young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl is my fiancée.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Years ago, I stumbled upon a chance to learn Folk Secret Techniques. I became obsessed with that magnificent and fantastical world; I couldn’t tear myself away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I pursued it recklessly, putting my desires into action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My fiancée’s name is Shan Lihui. When her family heard that I had such ideas and wouldn’t marry her at the agreed-upon time, they were naturally furious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They pressured Shan Lihui to break off our engagement and find someone else to marry, to live a stable life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shan Lihui staunchly refused. Ignoring her family’s objections, she resolutely set out with me on that path of no return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was young and arrogant back then, shortsighted about many things. I often acted on pure passion, but in reality, I was very selfish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking back now, if it were me today, I probably wouldn’t have been so impulsive about many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it was this very choice of mine that reduced Shan Lihui to her current state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was around that time that an Evil Spirit invasion broke out on this very Cyan Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I discovered that this Evil Spirit had a peculiar trait: it couldn’t be killed, no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its Mysterious Power contained an astonishing amount of Life Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I came up with a bold idea. At the time, Shan Lihui’s life was hanging by a thread. I had no other choice but to take a desperate gamble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used the yellow earth on my body to suppress that Mysterious Power, then preserved a portion of it. I placed Shan Lihui on it, allowing her to absorb the abundant Life Force from within the Mysterious Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, it succeeded in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I knew it wasn’t a long-term solution. With no other options, I could only take it one step at a time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Fengshan laid bare the greatest secret he had carried, his expression filled with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, being a Tomb Guardian at Cyan Mountain Cemetery seemed like a leisurely life, but in reality, he lived in fear every single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t worried about himself, but that something might happen to the person he loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As she is now, Shan Lihui can’t be separated from this bizarre vine. If she is, I’m afraid she will die instantly and completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The biggest problem we face right now is that Shan Lihui cannot leave this mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m worried the commotion here will attract the Defense Team. That would lead to endless trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Fengshan said, his face etched with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, the Defense Team won’t be coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Fengshan had lived on the mountain for so long that he knew nothing of the outside world’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu He had no intention of explaining just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He abruptly raised his hand. In his palm, it was as if the purest light between heaven and earth had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small cluster of golden flame leaped out quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the boundless hope and immense power contained within the first ray of sunlight at dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flame was by no means an earthly object. It radiated a warm and dazzling light, yet it also concealed a terrifying energy capable of incinerating everything in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Chu He’s will, the golden flame seemed to gain a life of its own, darting nimbly through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sped straight toward the wildly spreading gray-brown vines ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the flame touched the vines, it was like a fuse had been lit. The entire space seemed to be torn asunder in an instant as a golden light erupted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transforming into a sea of incredibly brilliant fire, drowning everything in the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sea of fire was not just a feast of color, but also the ultimate expression of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every wisp of golden flame seemed to have its own consciousness, weaving nimbly between the vines, devouring the gray-brown branches that were once as hard as iron one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roasted by the flames, the vines let out shrill, miserable wails. They writhed violently, trying in vain to escape this hellish bondage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all their struggles were in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the vines thrashed and slammed about,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was like a desperate struggle before death, making all of Cyan Mountain tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the rampage of the golden sea of fire, the vines gradually lost their original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to grow brittle and fragile. Wisps of gray-brown powder drifted away, like weathered sand and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also like a sudden gray-brown sandstorm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>staining the surrounding air with an aura of oppression and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powder swirled and danced in the air before finally, slowly, settling down,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>covering every inch of the ground and draping this cursed land in a heavy shroud of gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t hurt Shan Lihui!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Fengshan watched this destructive power with a terrified heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So Chu He hasn’t even been using his full power this whole time. If he were to go all out,’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’he could probably kill me in an instant.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing to the side, Gao Liceng’s eyes also widened. She had never imagined Chu He’s strength had reached such a level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast sea of golden fire was likely something no ordinary person could conjure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... it’s not that an ordinary person couldn’t do it, it’s that it’s something fundamentally beyond human capability!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Where on earth does this kind of power come from?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And how did Chu He come to possess it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the golden sea of fire had burned the gray-brown bizarre vines almost to ashes, leaving only a single section, Chu He simply gave a wave, and the flames vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire had come ferociously, and it left just as quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an illusory dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one section of the bizarre vine was connected to Shan Lihui’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this bizarre vine were to be completely eradicated by Chu He, Shan Lihui would die on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a section had to be left to sustain her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shan Lihui’s body, now without support, was about to fall, it was enveloped by a gentle ball of light formed from Heaven and Earth Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then gently guided over to Nalan Fengshan and set down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be counting on you for what comes next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing the display of Chu He’s immense power, Nalan Fengshan saw the hope of completely resolving Shan Lihui’s problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, with a THUD, he knelt directly before Chu He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for acquiring Divine Power, there is a good place to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He said with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1354,"2026-06-06T16:46:32.086Z",1,"novelbin.me","92db5916efd34c7b683a744c998c79bd1fa501a53124efd20445b8b94ed59e85","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-191","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-190",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
