Xiao Chen stepped forward in an instant and reached out to support Ling Yin. When he saw her pale face, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Why did Master’s cultivation seem to have retreated a lot? How could it be like this …

“Chen’er …”

Ling Yin’s expression remained unchanged. Actually, she had already known from the moment Xiao Chen went up the mountain. At this moment, when the master and disciple were staring at each other, another gust of wind came from the Cloud Sea, but Shen Cangming attacked again.

“Go to the back!”

Ling Yin stretched out her hand and sent Xiao Chen back. Then, she formed a seal with both of her hands. Suddenly, an ancient sword with green light appeared between her palms. However, when she saw the sword’s body flowing with extraordinary light, it emitted an extremely strong sword qi. This sword was the ancient sword “Chongxiao”, which was her famous sword back then.

“Disease!”

As Ling Yin spoke, the Heavy Sky Sword instantly shone brightly. The powerful sword energy seemed to envelop the heavens and earth in an instant, causing the boundless sea of clouds to surge violently. How could this sword energy compare to Yi Chen’s back then?

The ten thousand zhang sword light slashed towards Shen Cangming. Before the sword could reach him, the sea of clouds behind him could no longer withstand the sword energy and quickly spread to both sides.

“As expected of the heavens in your hands …”

This time, Shen Cangming no longer underestimated his enemy. He raised his palms and instantly condensed a purple mist in front of him. With a “clang”, he barely managed to block the Heavy Sky Sword in midair.

“Shen Cangming, don’t force me to draw my sword, or else your avatar will be annihilated today!” Ling Yin’s eyes were cold.

When Xiao Chen heard that it was only an avatar, he was slightly shocked. An avatar was already so strong. Just what realm had Shen Cangming’s cultivation reached?

At this moment, Master seemed to have the upper hand, but her face was so pale just now. She must have been restricted by something and could not use her full strength. Otherwise, she would surely backfire on herself. However, if she wanted to destroy Shen Cangming’s avatar, how could she not use her full strength?

“Forget it …”

Shen Cangming jumped back and left the Immortal Island. Obviously, he was still fearful of the Heavy Sky Sword in Ling Yin’s hand. He clearly understood in his heart that at the beginning, it was just that Xiao Chen did not appear, so Ling Yin would not use her full strength. But now that Xiao Chen appeared, Ling Yin naturally had the heart to protect her disciple. Even if she fought back, she would not hold back any longer.

“Since the two of you are reunited today, let’s stop here. However, I would like to remind you that dreams and games have only just begun. No one can stop them … Haha.”

“Wait.”

Just as Shen Cangming was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly walked up and stared at him, “On the other side of the desert, there was a senior who asked me to say, ‘There are love idiots in the world, this hate has nothing to do with the wind and the moon'”

This sentence was told to him by Granny Meng back at Wild Sand Castle. If he met Shen Cangming in the future, he would bring it along. Originally, he had never thought that he would meet Shen Cangming, but things were unpredictable.

At this moment, when Shen Cangming heard this, because he was wearing a battle robe hat, he could not see the change on his face. He only lightly said “Thank you”. As his voice fell, his entire body turned into a black mist and disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Chen stared in the direction in which Shen Cangming had disappeared. Even though his current cultivation was not so high, there was no fear in his eyes. On the contrary, it was calm. No one knew what Shen Cangming had experienced after that year. Only he knew, and only he knew that it was the person in the black wind who had saved Shen Cangming in the end.

Following Shen Cangming’s departure, the sea of clouds finally calmed down. Ling Yin turned around and Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance. Now that the master and disciple met again, they were actually relatively speechless.

“Master …”

After a long silence, Xiao Chen finally opened his mouth. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, the thousands of words would only turn into these two words when they met.

On Ling Yin’s face, there was no sadness, no joy, and no change at all.

She had cultivated for many years and had long seen through the fetters of the mortal world. Naturally, her heart was like water, but Xiao Chen was unable to do so without sorrow and joy.

No matter how cold and heartless his temperament had become over the years, there was always a place sealed off in his heart.

Originally, he had come to Purple Night Peak to see Master. Secondly, he wanted to know where Shen Jing was from Master. However, he didn’t expect that Shen Cangming would suddenly appear. He didn’t expect that Master’s cultivation had actually fallen back so much. Even her cultivation was limited. Why?

“Why does Master seem … to have retreated a lot?”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly approached Ling Yin. The way Ling Yin looked at him remained the same.

“What’s wrong …”

Xiao Chen slowly approached. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart. In the past, he had always felt that his master was the most powerful person in the world. However, just now, he had clearly seen how hard it was for his master to deal with Shen Cangming. He shouldn’t have done this at all.

“I’m fine.”

“No …”

Xiao Chen shook his head. He looked at her and said word by word, “Back then, you saved me from the Ancient Village by using your own Immortal Essence to remove the turbid Qi from my body and renew my life … right?”

Ling Yin held the jade flute in her hand and did not speak.

Xiao Chen continued, “When I came to Purple Night Peak three years ago, my entire body felt cold at night, because not long after I was born, I was planted into the Three Corpse Demon’s body. And during those three years, you were the one who helped me dissolve the Three Corpse Demon. The entire Xuanqing Sect doesn’t know about this matter, because once people find out that I have the Three Corpse Demon in my body, this world won’t be able to accommodate me at all, right?”

“Where did you hear these words?”

Ling Yin’s calm face finally changed. Xiao Chen felt bitter in his heart. It turned out that everything was really like this, but Master, she never said anything.

The night gradually fell. Ling Yin turned around and said, “12,000 miles west, there is a Cyanwood Cliff.”

“Cyanwood Cliff …”

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He immediately understood that Shen Jing was currently at the Cyanwood Cliff. At this moment, Master had told him that she was leaving. She would not say anything else.

“Master, take care. I’m leaving …”

Seeing that he was about to leave in a hurry, Xiao Chen’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. He moved and went into the distance. He didn’t know when, what kind of scene, or what kind of identity he would be in the next time they met.

The night gradually closed. Ling Yin looked in the direction where he disappeared, and finally sighed softly, “Chen’er … take care.”

Not long after, a man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, “Junior Sister.”

In the dim light, the person slowly walked into the sea of clouds. He raised his sleeves with his hands behind his back, revealing an elegant aura, yet his immortal aura was extraordinary. It was Exalted Heavenly Secrets who was also true.

…

After Xiao Chen left Purple Night Peak, it took him seven days and 12,000 kilometers to the west to find the Cyanwood Cliff that Ling Yin had mentioned that day. It turned out that there was a secluded valley down there with a hidden cave. It must have been left behind from ancient times.

Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and walked straight into the valley. However, he saw that the two sides were overlapping peaks, majestic and upright. The further he went, the quieter he became. He arrived at a stream. Suddenly, two figures appeared from nowhere and attacked him in an instant.

Right now, his divine sense was extremely sharp. No matter how fast these two figures attacked, he instantly reacted. He kicked his feet and jumped back, avoiding the attacks of the two figures.
