The palace was silent. After a long time, the Asura King said, “The Chu Clan must have sent people to hunt him down. No matter what, we cannot let him fall into the hands of the Chu Clan. If he falls into the hands of the Chu Clan, the Asura Heart will definitely not be protected.”

At this moment, there was a pale-haired Old man Zi Yi in the hall. It was Xiao Chen who was chasing after Zhuge Xuance that day. He only heard him say, “Don’t worry, Wang. According to my observation, he should have already gone to the Land of Ghost Cry. The Chu Clan is strong in Mirage Sea, but if he comes to the Land of Ghost Cry, he will definitely restrain himself. The only thing he is afraid of is …”

At this point, Zhuge Xuance suddenly became silent. When the Asura King saw that he was only halfway through his words, he probably guessed what he was going to say. He asked, “Senior Zhuge, what do you plan to do?”

Zhuge Xuance stroked his white beard and said, “Speaking of which, the Land of Ghost Cry is not a good place. Otherwise, I will go over and take a look …”

Hearing him say that he was going to the Land of Ghost Cry, the Asura King nodded, “Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble Senior Zhuge.”

…

A few days later, in the Ownerless Land, Xiao Chen and Shangguan Ruoxue encountered a gust of black wind just now. They didn’t know what was inside the black wind, but wherever it passed, anything that was tangible would be reduced to ashes. It was extremely terrifying.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but recall that he had encountered such a strange black wind in Feng Yuntian last time. Even though his cultivation had greatly increased, he didn’t dare to “provoke” this strange wind anymore.

“Yesterday … and those black winds just now, what exactly are they …”

Shangguan Ruoxue’s pretty face was deathly pale, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. The black wind had instantly turned one of her immortal swords into scrap metal. If Xiao Chen hadn’t unleashed his Instant Steps to flee with her in time, she probably wouldn’t have escaped from the ashes.

“If you ask me, who am I going to ask? Didn’t your father tell you that the Land of Bone Corrosion is filled with danger?”

Xiao Chen stared at her motionlessly. His tone was calm, but Shangguan Ruoxue couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw him being so indifferent. Just now, the two of them almost died. How could he still be so calm?

Xiao Chen also looked at her, thinking that the Bone Erosion Lands were originally filled with dangers, but Mirage Sea was a relatively safe and prosperous place within the Bone Erosion Lands. A daughter like Shangguan Ruoxue was born in Mirage Sea, not those extremely ferocious places. It was both a kind of luck and a kind of misfortune.

Although he was not born in the Land of Bone Erosion, the dangers he had experienced over the years, from Tomb of Gods and Demons back then to Feng Yuntian not long ago, had never been between life and death. That was why he was so calm now.

However, people like Shangguan Ruoxue and Chu Qingyu had never experienced such life and death under the protection of their clans. Even if they went out to train, there would still be an elder protecting them secretly. As for that Tianming Sect from Xie Wuxia who went to the lower regions to train, he would always call his family over. That was even more of a joke.

At this moment, when Shangguan Ruoxue saw him looking at her like this, her eyebrows furrowed. “Why are you looking at me like this? Just now, I was just …”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen approached her step by step. Shangguan Ruoxue saw him suddenly approach her, her eyes still so cold that she was so frightened that she retreated step by step, “You, what are you doing …”

Xiao Chen said coldly, “I’ll tell Miss Shangguan again. Listen carefully. This is no longer Mirage Sea, nor is it the Northern Alliance. No one will protect you in secret. If you act recklessly and die, I won’t be able to save you …”

Seeing that he was talking about the accident just now, Shangguan Ruoxue snorted and said unhappily, “If I die, my father will not let you go.”

“If it weren’t for your father, you wouldn’t be able to grow up, would you? I really doubt how your cultivation came to be …”

Xiao Chen glanced at her. After he finished speaking, he ignored her and walked straight ahead.

Shangguan Ruoxue was stunned behind her. From childhood until now, even her father had never taught her such a lesson. How could he, an outsider, teach her a lesson? “If you hadn’t insisted on bringing me here, how would I …” he said angrily.

“Then Miss Shangguan, let’s treat this as an experience.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently, At the end of his sentence, he stopped. ‘”Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I have been to a place ten times more dangerous than this place. I was trapped in his forbidden area by a Great Devil. I was almost unable to get out. After that, I wandered in the void crack for an unknown amount of time. In the end, even my divine sense almost dissipated. Have you ever felt this despair?”

Hearing him say that, Shangguan Ruoxue was stunned. He snorted, “I don’t believe it. Tell me, you only want to go to Ancient Immortal Realm. I see that you are no different from those people. You only want to live a long life. Do you think I’m right?”

“Whatever.”

Xiao Chen didn’t explain much to her. He continued to walk forward. Shangguan Ruoxue chased after him and walked to his right. She glanced at him and snorted, “You were lying. You weren’t from the Outer Heavens at all. The seal from before wasn’t a Ghost Heaven Curse.”

“Oh? How can I see it?”

“Humph!”

Shangguan Ruoxue gave him a sidelong glance and snorted, “Don’t think that I don’t know anything. Ten thousand years ago, Heaven’s Beyond wanted to invade the mortal world, but now that the seal is weak, they are ready to move again. Therefore, all of the people above Heaven’s Beyond Heaven are demons, and you don’t look like one.”

“Heh …”

After hearing this, Xiao Chen sneered, “You know what is demon and what is righteous in this world.”

…

Three days later, they were getting closer and closer to the Land of Ghost Cry. In the past few days, the two of them had encountered some dangers, but in the end, they were able to overcome them. However, Chu Yuanqing had always followed behind and could not catch up. However, it was difficult for Xiao Chen to distance himself from them.

On this day, the two of them arrived at a sandstorm zone. Within the yellow sand, they could occasionally see some dried bones. Most likely, they were cultivators who had died in this ownerless land in recent years.

“After crossing this desert, we will probably arrive at the Land of Ghost Cry.”

Xiao Chen put away the map in his hand and looked forward. Just as he was speaking, another strand of aura came from behind. Shangguan Ruoxue’s eyebrows narrowed, “It’s Chu Yuanqing. He’s catching up …”

“The old thief is really … persistent.”

Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and withdrew the aura from him and Shangguan Ruoxue. Just as he was about to walk forward, Shangguan Ruoxue said, “You can’t leave. The Chu Clan will not let you off. Even if you go to the Land of Ghost Cry, it will be useless. Chu Yuanqing will kill you.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen turned around and said indifferently, “Miss Shangguan, don’t forget, your current identity is still a hostage.”

“You …”

Shangguan Ruoxue frowned, but there was nothing she could do. She was far from being the opponent of this person in front of her. She could not escape even if she wanted to. Moreover, this was a landless place. If she ran away, it would be even more dangerous. In the end, she could only follow him and head towards the Land of Ghost Cry.

…

At this moment, Chu Yuanqing looked somewhat embarrassed. Although his cultivation had already stepped into the Sacred Realm, he would inevitably encounter some dangers in the Bone Corrosion Lands.

On the previous journey, Xiao Chen had relied on his experience in Wind Cloud Heaven to plot against him with the Black Wind here, causing him to almost fall into a difficult situation several times.

“Brat, when this old man catches you, I will definitely make sure that you can’t survive, and that you can’t die …”

At this moment, the gaze under the battle robe was as terrifying as it could be. In the past, when Chu Yuanqing was the elder of the Chu Clan in ASEAN, he was always like an immortal expert in front of others. Now that he had come to this ownerless land, it was as if his appearance had also become ferocious.

On the second day, Xiao Chen and Shangguan Ruoxue finally walked out of this ownerless land.

The Land of Ghost Cry was one of the Ten Bone Erosion Lands. It was also very vast, but it was not as prosperous as Mirage Sea. Moreover, many places were extremely ferocious, including some powers. It could also be described as “extremely ferocious”.

Things like killing people and seizing treasures were almost common in the Land of Ghost Cry. Whoever possessed a strange treasure but did not have the strength to protect it could most likely imagine what the outcome would be.

However, the more chaotic the place was, the more invisible the laws would be.

Two days later, Xiao Chen and Shangguan Ruoxue had already followed the map and arrived at Ghost Cry City. Although this city was not as prosperous as those cities in Mirage Sea, it was still very large. It was also a place where Ghost Cry and many cultivators gathered.

The walls on both sides of the city gate were made of countless white skeletons. Even the city gate was inlaid with countless white skeletons. They looked like the gates of Senluo Hell. People only arrived at the bottom. Before they could enter, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Of course, Xiao Chen didn’t have any fear. Although Shangguan Ruoxue had never been to these “extremely ferocious” places in the future, her cultivation was not low. Naturally, she wouldn’t feel any fear, much less fear of the cultivators in the city.

Moments later, the two of them arrived in the city smoothly. The buildings in the city were not as magnificent as Guiyuan City. There was no Immortal Island floating in the sky. On the contrary, there was a deep feeling of Yin Qi. There were strands of white skeletons hanging in many places. They were swaying in the wind, causing people to feel very uncomfortable.

In the center of the city, there was a place called “Senrota”. No matter who came to the Land of Ghost Cry, they had to go to Senrota to report. After exchanging spirit stones for the “Ghost Cry Token”, they could freely pass through the Land of Ghost Cry.

Before coming here, Xiao Chen had naturally understood clearly. Now, he was going to Senrota. Unlike Mirage Sea, although the Land of Ghost Cry was chaotic, it was still very free. It was not as strict as Mirage Sea’s hierarchy. The prosperous land was almost completely obscured by the four Mirage Sea Alliances.

…

In the center of the city, there was only a tall tower that pierced into the clouds. It was almost impossible to see the top. This was Senrota. Although the Land of Ghost Cry was extremely chaotic, in Ghost Cry City, no one dared to make a mistake. It was precisely because for thousands of years, there had been a Senrota standing here.

At this moment, on a certain floor of the tower, there were two white-haired old men standing. One was dressed in Qingyi, the other in Zi Yi. The two of them stared in the direction where Xiao Chen came from. Occasionally, they would stroke their white beards. Old man Qingyi smiled and said, “Old devil, how about we not make a bet this time?”

Old man Zi Yi glanced sideways at him and snorted, “Have you ever won a bet in the past? Have you ever admitted defeat? Well, tell me, what are you going to bet this time?”

Old man Qingyi still smiled and looked in the direction where Xiao Chen came from. “Let’s bet this time that this brat will die at Chu Yuanqing’s hands tomorrow, or Chu Yuanqing will die at his hands.”

Hearing this, Old man Zi Yi focused his gaze and said, “Although this brat’s background is not simple and his cultivation is very strange, that old brat Chu Yuanqing has already reached the Second Realm. Although he is only at the early Second Realm, if he really uses his strength, you and I will not be able to defeat him. I’m afraid this brat won’t even be able to take ten moves. I bet this brat will die tomorrow.”
