"So, in short, anyway, that's about it..." Fang Zijin glanced weakly at Rong Chen, who was staring blankly at the unconscious Yu Ling in front of him. His voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and finally turned into a completely dejected look.

.

The search team united by the five forces can be said to be extremely large, with more than a hundred Huazun masters and five Illusory God powerhouses, and there is no pressure even if they go deep into the middle of the ice. But they have found the current Eleven since June.

For more than a month, it can be said that they have searched almost every corner of the entire ice domain, but they have not found any trace of their disciples. If it weren't for the fact that the snow barrier in the inner ring couldn't be opened, I'm afraid they would all have the courage to kill them.

Entering the snow realm.

Most of the elders were already desperate and decided to return to Huayu before December to report this extremely strange situation. Whether they wanted to admit it or not, the facts were obvious. These disciples who had been missing for a year were probably killed.

Already.

Who would have thought that there would be no way out after mountains and rivers, and there would be a bright future in another village, when everyone had given up, they would meet again without any warning. This time, not only the elders were so excited that they were about to burst into tears, but also the academy, the Seven Stars Palace, etc.

The boys and girls from several major sects were like children who had been lost for a long time and finally found their way home. Many of them cried while holding their elders in their arms, recounting these horrifying experiences with grievances.

After all, the youngest among them was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the oldest was only in his early twenties. Most of them had never experienced such a dangerous thing. Many times they thought that they would never be able to return to Huayu again.

Unable to see their relatives, teachers and friends, all that belongs to them is the loneliness of being abandoned in this land of ice and snow.

Sometimes, hard persistence and hard work may not pay off, but if you choose to give up from the beginning, there will definitely be no rewards.

One year may be short, but to the people who survived the disaster, it was as long as a century. The things that happened and the people they met were more thrilling than the previous ten years of their lives.

The elders of the academy gathered around Yu Ling. After listening to the stories of Fang Zijin, Yang Lu and others, they could only let out a long sigh. Their emotions were so complicated that it was difficult to express them in words.

If they had known from the beginning that these still immature children would go through such a frightening journey and bear such heavy responsibilities, they would never have sent them to the ice a year ago.

But looking at these resolute faces that seem to be reborn from Nirvana, and seeing the tenderness on the faces of the young people gradually being replaced by tenacity, they also feel inexplicable pride and pride in their guilt and self-blame, as if they have discovered that their naughty bastards have finally grown up.

It's like I have become sensible, although this growth process has indeed paid a huge price.

After sighing, everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say next.

The most pity and heartache is of course for Yu Ling. After all, according to everyone's accounts, he has had the heaviest and heaviest burden along the way. First, he was scheming with an old monster who had lived for eight hundred years in the dark abyss, and then...

Faced directly with a god who transcends the realm of illusory gods in the snow world, such pressure makes them feel suffocated even just thinking about it.

But after having paid so much and endured so much, even if Yu Ling could wake up, she would end up with her cultivation completely ruined. She would not even be able to practice spiritual power and black power in the future, and she might not even be able to keep her soul power. This is a change.

Who can accept it calmly?

Fang Zijin lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "It's all my fault. I'm a waste. I'm useless. I didn't protect everyone at all. I'm not worthy of being a senior brother at all..."

He raised his hand to give himself a hard blow, but Rong Chen caught him in time.

Rong Chen sighed softly, looking at the red-eyed and extremely haggard young man in front of him, his rigid face softened slightly, and he said slowly: "Zijin, you have done everything you can do, why should you blame me anymore?"

Do you blame yourself? If you really want to blame it, it’s because we didn’t take good care of you. Letting you children face enemies that are far more powerful than you imagine, it’s because we failed to fulfill our responsibilities..."

Fang Zijin could no longer hold back the tears and choked up: "Elder, we don't blame you. After all, who could have thought of..."

"Yes, who would have thought of what happened later?" Rong Chen straightened up and touched Fang Zijin's head, his eyes became extraordinarily soft, and he looked around at the surviving academy disciples.

He said extremely gently: "You are the best and the best for being able to persevere until now. I am very happy that the academy has disciples like you, and I am also very proud of you today."

Seeing Rong Chen bending down and bowing very solemnly, all the boys and girls were stunned, too scared to move. Fang Zijin was the first to react, and said in fear: "Elder, you, are you not a fool?"

Kill us? We..."

"You deserve it. This is the respect that anyone should pay to the strong. Children, from today on, you are all truly strong on your own. Maybe your cultivation is not enough to be proud of Huayu, but after this

With the transformation of the world, you already have an indomitable and persevering heart. From now on, you will be fearless no matter what setbacks and difficulties you encounter in your life!" Rong Chen said loudly and authentically.

Everyone's noses were sore and their faces were filled with tears before they knew it.

A year of hardship, a year of grievances and fears, a year of tossing and turning... at this moment, they all turned into nothingness.

Maybe it's not worth it, maybe everything is worth it.

To emerge from a cocoon and become a butterfly, one must experience pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

They are still themselves, but they are no longer the same people they used to be.

A warm smile slowly appeared on Rong Chen's face. He looked at the boys and girls in front of him and said in a very soft voice: "Children, let's go home."

Go home, what a beautiful word.

When everything comes to an end, is what lingers in your heart full of the excitement and emotion of the past?

These scenes of joys and sorrows, and the scenes that will never be forgotten, must be the most unforgettable memories in everyone's heart.

It may be full of trauma, but after so many years, is it not just an aftertaste?

They came here in the early winter of November. It was still the winter of November, and they set out on their way home.

It's like a reincarnation.

Who says it’s not the case? The academy disciples are here with smiles and tears, and the young men from the Seven Star Palace are also complaining to the elders. Qingxu Valley and Wuxuanmen will be no different, and there is Huayu Domain on the other side.

The Lord's wife hugged her daughter, and they held each other's arms and cried.

it's all over.

No matter how twists and turns the process is, when the people looking for someone and the people being looked for get together, this long, arduous, dream-like snowy twilight journey finally comes to an end.
