Ji Qingzhou had been in the madman's maze for more than twenty days.

Xie Ziye and Liu Furuo, who were guarding outside, had no idea what she was doing inside. They just stood quietly at the entrance, practicing and waiting without disturbing each other.

When the two were hesitating whether to go into the madman's maze to take a look, the light gate at the entrance shook, as if it was about to collapse.

A figure flashed out, it was Ji Qingzhou who had not been seen for many days.

Xie Ziye and Liu Furuo stood up immediately and came to Ji Qingzhou almost at the same time.

Ji Qingzhou had just rushed out of the space turbulence, and his eyes blurred when he saw two faces full of worry.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Sorry, I spent quite a while in there."

As he spoke, Ji Qingzhou turned his wrist, and a transparent crystal ball floated above his palm.

In the center of the crystal ball, there is a building standing at an angle. It is the madman's maze that has been shrunk countless times.

Ji Qingzhou said: "I have sealed Pei Yinxia's demon seed."

After a pause, Ji Qingzhou continued, "Before, time was urgent and I didn't have time to tell you in detail what I did in the maze."

"Time is urgent?"

Liu Furuo was puzzled: "You have been in there for more than 20 days..."

What is it that takes so long to do? Are you still worried that it’s not enough?

"Collect the body."

Ji Qingzhou said succinctly, "I once encountered a level in the madman's maze..."

She told them about the levels she had reassembled by shuffling the remains of the corpses.

"After seeing the arm engraved with Huayu Sect and Song Yu, I suddenly realized that those corpses in the maze were once living beings."

"Among them, there are even cultivators who sacrificed their lives to protect the immortal world and the demon world during the war between the three worlds."

At this point, Ji Qingzhou pursed his lips and said softly: "There are also many... people who died on the front line in recent years."

For example, Shangguan Xing.

After Ji Qingzhou cut off Pei Yinxia's control over Shangguan Xing's body, he left Shangguan Xing's body in the lunatic maze and used a small white jade sword as Shangguan Xing's temporary tombstone.

She said she would bring Guan Xing home.

Now she's here.

“Those dead human cultivators and demon cultivators all fought against the demon cultivators. They died tragically at the hands of the crazy Taoist priest, and their bodies were disassembled and manipulated.”

"In the Madman's Labyrinth, there are many levels that desecrate the remains of our predecessors and use them as tools."

At this point, Ji Qingzhou paused for a moment before softly saying, "They shouldn't be treated like this."

"I have been traveling around the maze these days, collecting their bodies."

Ji Qingzhou's Tianqing Yulin bracelet was loaded with tens of thousands of wooden boxes. "Before using the Madman's Labyrinth to seal the demons, I hope that the famous and unknown people scattered throughout the labyrinth, no matter where they came from, should have a way home."

Into the ground is safe.

After she finished speaking, the scene became quiet for a moment.

Liu Furuo's eyes turned red, she sniffed, and raised her hand: "Me! I will pay for their graves!"

Xie Ziye looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, these cultivators who died at the hands of the crazy Taoist were also our predecessors. Without them, we wouldn't be here today. The task of collecting the bodies and burying them is a heavy one and should not be shouldered by you alone."

Just by listening to Ji Qingzhou's few words, he could imagine how Ji Qingzhou worked tirelessly, exploring every corner of this huge maze, collecting the scattered remains, and then hurriedly rushing to other places.

Time and time again, day after day.

During these twenty days, which he thought were a bit long and boring, how urgent and tiring were Ji Qingzhou's feelings?

Xie Ziye stared at Ji Qingzhou, and at this moment he just wanted to share some of his burden with her.

"Ah."

Ji Qingzhou nodded. "I didn't let you participate before because I was worried that conquering the Madman Labyrinth would cause disturbances. I could only protect myself. Now the crisis has been resolved and the seal has been settled. Let's complete the next task together."

Carrying the Madman's Maze and tens of thousands of wooden boxes, the three returned to the front-line camp and found the elders of the Wuliang Sect who were stationed there.

The elder on duty today is Chu Zhai. It was she who handled Ji Qingzhou's request last time and united the elders of the three sects and nine schools to recall most of the cultivators on the front line, thus saving those people from being harmed by the Prince of the Demon Palace.

After Ji Qingzhou asked someone to inform that there was an important matter that needed to be discussed, Chu Zhai quickly summoned her to come over.

As soon as the three of them entered the house, they discovered that there was not only Chu Zhai in the house, but also elders from other sects among the three sects and nine schools.

Taoist Bai Wei, Taoist Xiaoyao, Liu Xihe and others were also in the house.

Ji Qingzhou was stunned: "Master, this is..."

Taoist Bai Wei replied: "To discuss important matters."

Liu Xihe looked at Liu Furuo in confusion, wondering what these three people had done.

They gathered here today to discuss how to seize more frontline secret realms and obtain resources from the evil cultivators.

Halfway through the meeting, a disciple came in and talked to Chu Zhai in private.

When Taoist Bai Wei heard Ji Qingzhou's name, he asked Ji Qingzhou and the other two to come in directly.

People from other sects had different opinions about Ji Qingzhou. Some people were dissatisfied that a small cultivator just had something to do, so why did they stop the meeting for her?

But because Taoist Bai Wei had spoken, these people did not dare to say anything.

As soon as Ji Qingzhou entered the room, he was met with gazes that ranged from curious to indifferent to malicious.

She heard Taoist Bai Wei say that they were discussing important matters, so she asked, "How about I come back later?"

"Chu Zhai will leave with us later."

Taoist Bai Wei did not intentionally give his young disciple a backdoor, but the timing was unfortunate as Chu Zhai was also going to join the battle.

In her heart, Ji Qingzhou was a very honest and simple child. He said that he had something important to discuss with Chu Zhai and it would not be convenient to delay.

Taoist Bai Wei then suspended the meeting to give Ji Qingzhou some time to listen to what she had to say.

"I found the remains of some ancient monks in the Madman's Labyrinth and collected their bodies."

Ji Qingzhou didn't waste time on polite conversation and went straight to the point, "Most of the bodies don't have any clues to their names, but there are some human and demon cultivators who have carved their sects and names on their bodies. I want to help them rest in peace."

She explained: "It's just that the sects and races of those human and demon cultivators are at least ten thousand years old. I don't know much about the secret space on the front line. I want to ask Elder Chu Zhai for a map and borrow some manpower to bury the remains of the cultivators."

After hearing this, the expressions of the few people in the room who had unfriendly looks changed slightly.

One of the old men with white hair and a youthful face turned his head away and slapped himself quietly: "How dare you give such a good child a bad face! Old man!"

Another person said, "There is a shortage of manpower on the front line right now, so I'm afraid I can't lend it to you."

After a pause, she asked again, "I see that there are three of you, each of you is very powerful. Isn't that enough to build tombs for those predecessors?"

Ji Qingzhou was helpless: "It may not be enough just the three of us."

Taoist Xiaoyao was curious: "How many monks did you collect corpses for in the Madman's Labyrinth?"

Ji Qingzhou: "Seventy-nine thousand five hundred and sixty-one."

After she finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
