Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Zhu Weng stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes full of praise: "Great! What a great dark gold claw! This soul skill is tailor-made for you! You have the soul-sucking attack, and you are least afraid of close combat. This dark gold claw will make you even more powerful!"

"Not only does it make up for your lack of speed, it also makes you more flexible in battle! Hahaha, even a Titled Douluo would probably have a headache if he got close to you!"

"Title Douluo? Humph, Master can't even imagine the true power of Soul-Draining Strike!" Nasus thought to himself.

"Even if I face a Titled Douluo, I have the confidence to fight! If I meet a guy as arrogant as Ziyun Douluo again, I can definitely kill him in an instant!" When Nasus thought of how Ziyun Douluo was vulnerable in front of him, a sneer appeared on his face.

“After all, Master doesn’t know that my Soul-Sucking Blow has now reached the 4987th level! Each level of Soul-Sucking Blow adds to my strength and speed in killing soul beasts. With the power of 4987 levels, even mountains can be shattered by me!” Nasus clenched his fists covered with dark golden scales, feeling the terrifying power contained therein, his heart filled with confidence.

Zhu Weng's originally joyful expression suddenly froze, his brows knitted tightly together, and his eyes were full of anxiety. "Nasus," he asked anxiously, "where is Baiyun now?"

Nasus was slightly stunned, not understanding why his master suddenly changed the subject, but he still replied respectfully: “Master, are you referring to Brother Yun?”

"Of course I'm referring to Baiyun!" Zhu Weng's tone was filled with anxiety and self-blame. "He has been home to visit his family for more than a month, why hasn't he returned yet? Logically speaking, he should have returned a long time ago!"

Nasus suddenly realized that his master was thinking of Brother Yun. He quickly comforted him, "Master, don't worry. Brother Yun came back yesterday and is waiting for us in the bamboo house."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Weng heaved a sigh of relief, and the anxious look on his face also dissipated a little. He nodded with relief, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

But then, Zhu Weng's brows were tightly locked together again, his eyes full of self-blame and guilt. He whispered to himself: "I was negligent. Bai Yun's talent is not inferior to yours. I should pay more attention to him!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Nasus. His eyes became extremely firm and his tone was full of power: "Nasus, let's go back now and take Baiyun with us to hunt soul beasts! Both of you are rare geniuses. I will do my best to help you achieve godhood as soon as possible!"

Nasus nodded respectfully, but he was a little confused: "Master, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Zhu Weng explained, "I am worried that Bai Yun will encounter some danger while practicing alone. Although he is gifted, he is young and impulsive after all. I must find him as soon as possible and personally guide him in his practice to ensure his safety."

“Well, now is not the time to talk about this,” Zhu Weng patted Nasus’ shoulder, his tone full of anticipation, “Let’s go back now, take Baiyun with us, hunt soul beasts together, and create a miracle!”

"Yes, Master!" Nasus did not ask any more questions. He knew that the Master had his own plans. Moreover, he could not wait to meet Brother Yun and fight alongside him.

“By the way, Nasus,” Zhu Weng suddenly seemed to remember something and asked in confusion, “You have been with me all the time, haven’t you? How do you know Bai Yun’s current situation?”

Nasus smiled and explained, "Brother Yun and I have a special way of communicating. We can contact each other at any time."

When Zhu Weng heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask any more questions. He believed in Nasus and also in Baiyun.

"Okay, in that case, let's go back now!" said Zhu Weng, and turned to walk towards the bamboo house with Nasus.

Along the way, Zhu Weng was in a good mood, with a smile on his face. He hadn't been as happy as he was today for a long time.

Nasus followed Zhu Weng silently, but his heart was full of doubts.

Master, what happened today? Why do you feel... a little abnormal?

Is it because Brother Yun is back and he is so happy?

But, it shouldn’t be like this!

When Brother Yun came back before, Master wasn’t this happy?

Nasus couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that his master had his reasons for doing things.

He just needs to follow his master's arrangements.

The master and the disciple spoke nothing along the way and soon returned to the bamboo house.

"Brother Yun, we are back!"

As soon as he entered the door, Nasus shouted loudly.

"Brother Yun? Brother Yun!" Nasus called out several times, but there was no sign of Bai Yun. The room was empty, with only the echoes of their master and disciple.

Zhu Weng frowned slightly, "What's going on? Where's Baiyun?"

Nasus was also a little confused, "This shouldn't be the case. Brother Yun clearly said he was waiting for us in the bamboo house..." He looked around and suddenly found a letter on the table. On the envelope was written "Nasus, from Mr. Zhu himself."

Nasus quickly picked up the letter, opened it, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Seeing that he looked strange, Zhu Weng asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What's written in the letter?"

Nasus took a deep breath and slowly said, "Master, Nasus, when you see this letter, I will have left here. I know you are worried about me, but I am in a very messy mood right now and I need to be alone. Please don't come to me, I want to be alone..."

The letter ended here abruptly. It was obvious that Bai Yun was too emotional and did not finish writing.

"What's wrong with this child?" Zhu Weng's heart sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

Nasus handed the letter to Zhu Weng and said, "Master, please read this..."

Zhu Weng took the letter and read it carefully, frowning more and more. He knew that Bai Yun must have encountered something to become like this.

"Let's go find him!" Zhu Weng made a prompt decision. "I'm really worried about him being out there alone."

Nasus nodded. "Master, I know a place. Brother Yun goes there when he's in a bad mood."

"Let's go without further delay!"

……

Following Nasus's instructions, the two of them traveled quickly all the way and finally arrived at a quiet valley.

In the valley, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, the scenery is pleasant, and it is isolated from the world, like a paradise.

Deep in the valley, there is a crystal clear lake. By the lake sits a lonely figure, which is Baiyun.

At this moment, Bai Yun no longer had the sunny and cheerful look of the past. His face was filled with sadness and despair, and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

"Brother Yun!" Nasus called softly, afraid of disturbing him.

Bai Yun heard the voice and slowly raised his head. Seeing that it was Nasus and Zhu Weng, a complex look flashed across his eyes, but soon dimmed.

"Why are you here?" His voice was hoarse and low, like a dead leaf that had lost its moisture, which was heartbreaking.

"Brother Yun, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Nasus asked anxiously.

The white cloud remained silent, just lowered its head and looked at the lake with empty eyes, as if recalling some painful past.

“Child, if you have any problem, just tell me.” Zhu Weng walked to Baiyun and looked at him kindly. “Master and Nasus are here. We will help you.”

Bai Yun raised his head and looked at Zhu Weng. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

“Brother Yun, please say something!” Nasus was so anxious that he turned around and around. “We are all very worried about you!”

Bai Yun took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. He slowly opened his mouth and told them everything that had happened to him when he returned home to visit his relatives.

It turned out that three years ago, the greed of human beings for soul beasts finally led to their revenge. Five hundred thousand year soul beasts led the herd and set off a catastrophe. Countless villages were destroyed and countless lives were lost. Baiyun's village was one of the destroyed villages.

When he rushed back to the village, he saw that the once familiar and bustling village was now dead silent. The houses were dilapidated, the fields were barren and overgrown with weeds, and there was no sign of human habitation.

Bai Yun was heartbroken, he couldn't accept that the loved one he had always protected had left him like this, especially since he had the ability to protect his mother in the first place.

“Master, Nasus,” Bai Yun said here, his voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, “I hate myself for not coming back earlier. If I had come back earlier, perhaps I could have saved them…”

Nasus comforted him awkwardly: "Brother Yun, don't be like this, it's not your fault, you have tried your best..."

Zhu Weng gently patted Baiyun's shoulder and said, "Child, I know you are sad, but you must remember that your relatives would not want to see you like this. They are in heaven, watching you, and hope that you can live strong!"

"Master..." Bai Yun threw himself into Zhu Weng's arms and burst into tears.

Zhu Weng hugged Baiyun tightly, letting his tears wet his clothes. He knew that what Baiyun needed now was to vent. Only by venting all the sadness in his heart could he truly let it go.

Nasus stood aside, watching Bai Yun crying, feeling mixed emotions. Although he was not good at expressing himself, he could understand Bai Yun's sadness and despair at the moment.

"Brother Yun, don't worry, I will help you find out the truth and avenge you!" Nasus said firmly.

Bai Yun raised her head and looked at Nasus with tearful eyes, "Nasus..."

"I swear!" Nasus raised his right hand, his tone extremely firm.

Zhu Weng looked at the two disciples in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Bai Yun's pain would take time to heal, but at least he was no longer alone. He still had a master and brothers, and they would face the future together.

"Child," Zhu Weng gently stroked Bai Yun's hair, "In fact, I have had similar experiences to you..."

Baiyun and Nasus looked at Zhu Weng in surprise. It was the first time they heard Zhu Weng mention his past.

Under the gaze of the two, Zhu Weng slowly told his long-forgotten past...
