Tonight, the stars and moon were dim, and the cold wind was rustling. It was not winter yet, but inside Tomb of Gods and Demons, it was even colder than outside.

Sitting in the small pavilion, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered the Purple Night Peak. It was even colder than here. Master, she must be alone again tonight …

He still remembered fourteen years ago today. At that time, he was still a young boy. He had just ascended the Purple Night Peak and didn’t understand anything. The night was cold and hungry, so he couldn’t sleep.

“What’s your name … I’m asking you, why don’t you answer?”

“If you want to kill me, then just kill me! Yes, I just hit you, so you also want to kill me. In any case, you Xuanqing Sect don’t have a good person!”

At the Xuan Qing Convention that day, the scene was still the same as yesterday. Xiao Chen took a deep breath, took the wine jar beside him, and drank it all in one gulp. The wine entered his throat, but it was cold and bitter.

Altars after altars seemed to dilute those memories, but the more so, the deeper those memories became.

“I’m asking you, why did you carve our names on it? Aren’t you afraid of being seen by Senior Sister Poria and the others?”

“I’m not afraid anymore. I just want to wait until I arrive at the Immortal Dimension in the future. Don’t forget about Senior Brother’s sword gift today.”

…

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, Xiao Chen smashed the wine jar in his hand to pieces, and blood gradually appeared in his eyes. “Qianyu Ni Shang, if what happened back then had something to do with you, even if you came to the Immortal Dimension and became an Immortal King, I will still drag you down … Who is it?”

“Yes … it’s me …”

Luo Die stood outside the pavilion at an unknown time with a mink fur coat in her hand. She looked at him with some fear. She had just stood outside and did not dare to enter to disturb him. It was only when Xiao Chen broke the wine jar behind her that she was shocked and made a noise.

“It’s cold at night. You’re not well yet. Why are you coming out?”

“I…”

Luo Die looked at him. She hesitated and didn’t know what to say, but at this moment, she wasn’t too afraid. She just didn’t know what this man had experienced, and just now, he had such a strong hostile aura.

“I saw late at night. You didn’t come back. Knowing that you were here, I brought you a piece of clothing …”

As she whispered, she slowly walked over and gently draped her coat over Xiao Chen. Seeing that the other party was silent, she asked after a long time, “Did the Azure Wave Sect Master say anything during the day?”

“These few days, just calm down and recuperate. Don’t worry about the rest.”

Xiao Chen’s voice softened slightly. As he spoke, he walked back and forth. Luo Die looked at him from behind and silently followed him.

…

Over the next ten days, with the help of Xiao Chen and the rare medicinal ingredients, Luo Die’s injuries had almost healed. By noon, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside. It was Sage Azure Wave.

Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his contribution and slowly got up to open the door. He saw Sage Azure Wave standing at the door nervously and asked, “How is it?”

Sage Azure Wave lowered her head and bit her lips. She hesitated for a long time before saying, “I just received news that the 18 people we sent to White Bone City ten days ago were all killed by Jian Xuanfeng …”

“Bang!”

A crisp sound came from inside the room. The cup in Luo Die’s hand fell to the ground and shattered. She was stunned for a moment and quickly bent down to clean up the debris on the ground.

“Senior … what should we do now?”

Saintess Canglang looked at Xiao Chen nervously, afraid that he would give them an order to charge into White Bone City. The Ten Thousand Bones Formation was left behind from ancient times. How powerful was it? This was no different from courting death. Moreover, Jian Xuanfeng’s cultivation was not low, at least above Gongsun Yun and the Luo Huo Sectlord.

“It’s fine. You go back first. Three days later, I’ll come find you.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently. Saintess Canglang looked at him and was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly nodded and went back.

After Saintess Canglang walked away, Luo Die slowly walked behind Xiao Chen and whispered, “Are you going to White Bone City to start a war with that Jian Xuanfeng?”

She didn’t know when she had become so concerned about the life and death of this strange man. There was danger hidden in White Bone City, and there were no living people under the Myriad Bones Formation. Even cultivators at the Lower Profound Realm and even the Middle Profound Realm couldn’t escape this formation. It was too dangerous to charge into the formation alone.

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her, saying, “I can’t help you heal your injuries in these three days. I wrote the prescription on the paper yesterday, so you can just pick the medicine according to it.” After saying that, he went out of the room.

Luo Die looked at his distant figure and gradually frowned. Finally, she returned to the room and took the prescription from the table. She looked at the names of the medicinal ingredients on it, but she was still absent-minded.

…

When Xiao Chen went to a deserted place, he took out the Golden Crow Foot from his sleeve and saw that it was still covered in tiny cracks.

The Golden Crow Foot was an ancient divine artifact. It was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, it had been damaged quite a bit, making it difficult to release its original power. Moreover, he had used it twice in succession, causing the Golden Crow Foot to be even more seriously damaged. If he used it once or twice more, it would be completely damaged and unable to be repaired.

The Golden Crow was his last trump card. He would not use it again unless he had to. Therefore, he would not use it to break through White Bone City’s Myriad Bone Formation. In these three days, he intended to refine Prince Yun Tianzi’s soul.

“Hehe … brat, just because you want to refine my primordial spirit, ridiculous … ridiculous!”

At this moment, Son of Heaven Yun’s strange and gloomy laughter sounded from his divine sea. Xiao Chen ignored it and headed straight for a cave.

After arriving at the cave, he sealed the entrance. He slowly recalled what Withered Spirit had said when he taught the Soul Forbidden Technique. This technique was extraordinary. It was a heaven-defying technique that ignored the six Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Three Realms. Therefore, it was extremely dangerous. Once the technique was cast, it could not be interrupted. Therefore, unless he was absolutely confident, he should not use it easily.

“Kid, at most, you and I will be burned. I am hiding in your primordial spirit. I want to see how you can refine me!”

Son of Heaven Yun’s voice was terrifying, but Xiao Chen ignored it from beginning to end. He slowly went to the innermost part of the cave and sat down cross-legged. He first breathed out his luck, and then used the Soul Forbidden Technique in an instant. The entire cave instantly blew violently, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere.

“Ah–”

Son of Heaven Yun’s soul felt as if it had been burned by a blazing fire. He continuously let out a mournful voice, “Brat, you can’t succeed. Once you fail, your soul will also dissipate! Hahaha …”

In a short moment, Xiao Chen was already covered in sweat. His eyes were tightly closed, and his hands were constantly forming seals. Although the Soul Forbidden Technique was powerful, it was extremely dangerous. Back then, he had risked his life to use it to seal Prince Yun Tianzi’s soul.

At that time, because he was heavily injured and using the Soul Forbidden Technique was not absolutely perfect, he was unable to directly erase Prince Yun Tianzi’s divine sense. As a result, he left behind the hidden dangers of today. Now, he needed to take another risk and refine Prince Yun Tianzi’s soul to erase that wisp of divine sense. If he failed, even if his soul did not collapse, it would definitely drain his primordial spirit.
