Xiao Chen looked at the Lightning Shock Hall that was marked on the ground and remained silent. However, Guisi knew that he was puzzled and said, “Yi Chen, come out with me.”

Xiao Chen looked at him. He didn’t know why he wanted to ask him to go out alone at this moment. He didn’t ask any further and went with him to the outside of the cave.

When they arrived at a forest, the two of them stopped at the same time. Guisi turned around and looked at him. After a long time, he said, “You should know better than anyone else that saving Hua Weiyang this time is extremely dangerous.”

Xiao Chen looked at him and his eyebrows narrowed. “I know, what do you want to say?”

“Mm, I’ll talk to you slowly …”

…

A stick of incense later, the two of them were still in the woods, but Guisi turned to look at him. “Do you believe me?”

“Should I believe you?”

Xiao Chen also looked at him, recalling the past scene in his mind. Guisi was the first friend he knew after he went down the mountain. If even Guisi could not be trusted, who should he trust?

“If you believe me, then follow my plan. Only then will I be able to save her.”

“Alright …”

This time, Xiao Chen did not think about it. The two of them returned to the cave. Shen Jing saw that the two of them had been gone for so long before coming back. She asked, “What did you say?”

Guisi smiled and said, “I have just informed Yi Chen of the deployment of the Heavenly Gate. Next, let’s discuss the plan.”

Late into the night, Shen Jing’s expression became tense when she heard the whole plan. However, she and Guisi had only known each other for a few days. How could she believe this person? However, only this person here was familiar with the Heavenly Gate. If he didn’t trust him, who should he trust?

“Forget it.”

At this moment, Ku Lingzi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Shen Jing and Guisi Que, saying, “You guys go out first. I’ll help this kid stabilize his primordial spirit so that there won’t be any mistakes at the critical moment.”

“Then I will go out with Miss Shen to prepare. I won’t disturb Senior.”

Guisi cupped his hands towards Ku Lingzi and exchanged glances with Shen Jing before heading out.

After the sound of their footsteps faded away, Xiao Chen looked at Ku Lingzi. His primordial spirit no longer needed to be stabilized. Ku Lingzi had just said that because he wanted to divert Guisi away. He asked, “Senior, do you have something to say?”

At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s expression was solemn. After looking at him for a long time, he set up a soul force barrier at the entrance of the cave and said, “Do you really trust him so much? Don’t forget, he used to be a member of the Heavenly Gate …”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked out of the cave. He looked into the distance at Guisi and Shen Jing’s back and said after a long time, “I believe him.”

Sometimes, trust between people is a very subtle thing. Back in Xuanqing Sect, when he first saw Guisi, he felt like he had a deja vu. Until he met him again, he went to Pingdingshan together, and then went to the Lianhua Palace Branch Altar together …

Everything seemed to be deja vu, as if the two of them knew each other in their previous lives. If they met in this life, if they were fated in the next life, they might even fight side by side.

“Good, good …”

Ku Lingzi’s eyes narrowed. He nodded and didn’t say anything else. He pondered for a moment before saying, “But if something goes wrong, I’ll be right in front of you. Now that my physical body has been destroyed, my soul power is limited, and the restrictions of the Heavenly Gate are heavy, I might not be able to save you again.”

“Senior, don’t worry. After we go to Lianhua Palace tomorrow and rescue them, we need someone to meet us outside. Madam Xian Shu’s cultivation is high, so it’s best.”

…

Outside, the bright moon shone brightly. In the middle of the Central Plains of Immortal Essence, seven mountain peaks entered and exited the clouds. It seemed as if they were faintly visible. That was Xuanqing Mountain.

Suddenly, a figure landed on Yuji Peak. The person was dressed in red and was Ling Yin’s former senior sister. Her eyebrows twitched. Seeing that she was hurrying towards Tianji Palace, something must have happened.

Outside Tianji Hall, a clear male voice sounded, “What are you doing here late at night?”

“Venerable Heavenly Secrets.”

He cupped his brows and cupped his hands. Not long after, a figure appeared in front of the hall door. That person had a long and jade body, and under the bright moon, his immortal energy was extraordinary. It was also true that he was the Venerable Heavenly Secrets.

“Is it because of Yichen?”

“Exactly …”

“Forget it, come in.”

Yi Huanzhen turned around and walked into the hall. He sat in front of the chessboard and said, “On the 15th of this month, he will go to Zhongyue. He will fall into the trap and be trapped inside … You are worried that he will go to the Heavenly Gate to save him on the 15th of next month.”

“Does Your Excellency have a solution to this situation?”

Mei Jianyi frowned deeply. On the one hand, she was worried that Xiao Chen would act rashly this time. On the other hand, she was worried about her junior sister’s life and death tribulation.

Yi Huanzhen did not answer her question. He only looked at the chess game in front of him and said, “Although it is a close call, there must be a life. Do you think there is a solution to this situation?”

Mei Jianyi took a few steps forward. She was not good at playing chess. She looked at it for a long time and could only see that the white piece was trapped everywhere on the chessboard. It was already dangerous. However, when she looked closely, it seemed that the white piece had won again. She suddenly realized that Yi Chen was the white piece. Although she was trapped everywhere, as long as she was trapped, the black piece would be defeated to the ground.

“All your worry are superfluous,” said Yi Huanzhen. After saying that, Nian Zi landed and the situation on the plate was immediately reversed.

Mei Jianyi was even more shocked. Had Empyrean Heavenly Secrets calculated this long ago? He asked, “Then right now …”

“You don’t need to worry right now.”

Yi Huanzhen said slowly as he asked, “Junior Sister, are you still in the Bipo Jade Stage?”

Hearing this, Mei Jianyi’s heart was filled with worry. These past few days, Junior Sister had been in seclusion. Even after such a big incident in Yi Chen, she still hadn’t come out. She also didn’t let anyone go to Violet Night Peak to see her. What exactly happened?

“Sigh …”

Yi Huanzhen let out a long sigh, then twisted his hand and slowly said, “This is also her first tribulation. Only her own seventh tribulation can overcome this tribulation. No one else can interfere.”

“Seventh Tribulation …”

Hearing these three words, Mei Jianyi’s heart trembled even more. Could it be that Junior Sister’s life and death tribulation is really coming?

…

Three days later, Xiao Chen had arrived at the 100,000-strong forest where Lianhua Palace was located. The terrain was steep, mountains overlapping, the forest was suffused with miasma, and Lianhua Palace had set up a great mist formation. Finding Lianhua Palace in this forest was not an easy task.

It was about noon when he passed through a thick fog and still couldn’t see Lianhua Palace. Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded from afar, “Is that Childe Xiao?”

Xiao Chen looked over and saw a purple-clothed woman walking out of the fog. She was the female disciple who had taken him to Lianhua Palace earlier and asked, “Is Madam Xian Shu here?”

The woman naturally knew why he had come today, and her expression was slightly anxious. She couldn’t wait to say, “Madam is in the palace. Young Master, please follow me.”
