“Your aura is a bit chaotic.”

Even though it was only a small change at this moment, Xiao Chen was keenly aware of it. Shen Jing regained her senses and did not say anything. She only slowly stopped thinking about those things.

After a while, Xiao Chen began to slowly circulate his cultivation technique. He used the Sword Splitting Technique to draw out the Heavenly Spill Sword Qi in her body. This sword Qi had been buried in her body for two years. Even with the Sword Splitting Technique, it was not an easy task. Without Xiao Chen’s sharp divine sense, it would be difficult to guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen.

“When I circulate my cultivation, you must stabilize your zhenqi. Remember not to suddenly condense your zhenqi to resist. Also, I need to open this sword wound of yours before I can draw out the sword qi. It will hurt a little. Please endure it.”

“It’s alright, you can come …” Shen Jing looked at the forest shrouded in moonlight in the distance. No matter how painful her back was, how could it compare to the pain in her heart?

Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and began to remove her sword qi. After three days and three nights, the sword qi in Shen Jing’s body was only slowly drawn out. By midnight, it was almost all drawn out.

“When you went to Cangfeng Valley that day, did you encounter an obstacle?”

The night was boundless, and the cold wind blew slowly through the valley. Shen Jing turned her head slightly back and asked him.

Xiao Chen still closed his eyes and helped her clear the last trace of sword energy. He said, “There are four Elder Tai. They are very powerful, but in the end, they were wounded and will not be able to recover in a short period of time.”

“Is that all?”

Shen Jing frowned slightly. She did not believe that the situation on that day was as easy as Xiao Chen said at this moment.

“They used an ancient sword. It was very powerful. I almost couldn’t leave. In the end, I used the Ten Thousand Bones Formation from Tomb of Gods and Demons to block that sword.”

Xiao Chen said slowly. Right now, he didn’t intend to tell anyone about that mysterious expert in Cangfeng Valley, so as to prevent Shen Jing from worrying.

“Is that so …”

Shen Jing stopped asking about Cangfeng Valley. After a while, she said, “Did anyone else see you that day when you went to see your master?”

“That person.”

“That person?”

Shen Jing was a little puzzled. Who was he referring to?

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “The person who jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff more than three hundred years ago and didn’t die, Adept Withered Pine’s only disciple back then, Shen Cangming …”

“Shen Cangming” Shen Jing’s heart stirred slightly.

“That’s right, he … came back to take revenge.”

As Xiao Chen spoke calmly, the scene of the same day appeared in his mind. It was only an avatar that was already that powerful.

More importantly, no one knew Shen Cangming’s other identity. Other than Master and the others, no one in the entire Immortal Origin Five Regions knew that he had returned.

Xiao Chen could deeply feel the hatred in this person’s heart. Such a person who lived only for revenge was extremely terrifying, and Master … was the first to bear the brunt.

“Do you suspect that what happened back then was related to Shen Cangming?” Shen Jing suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Xiao Chen did not say anything. He still remembered that before he went to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, the person named “Chu Tianyao”, who was referred to as “Senior Sword Immortal” by Mistress Rakshasa. Chu Tianyao had told him that that person was in the Heavenly Gate with one hand covering the sky. No one in the Immortal Origin Five Realms could resist him.

Actually, even now, Xiao Chen didn’t know what grudges existed between his master and Shen Cangming back then. What kind of deep hatred was there? In the past, his master had never mentioned anything about it. Only when he mentioned this name by chance at Purple Night Peak did his master’s expression suddenly change.

“I don’t know either.”

Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses. The clouds in this world were unpredictable and changeable. Just who had done what back then, and how would he investigate it?

It was already settled that those people died from the Jade Flute Sword Technique. However, in this world, only Master and I knew how to use the Jade Flute Sword Technique. The other person, if they could also use it, would be Qianyu Nichang.

Could it be that Qianyu Nichang killed those people? If she had killed those people, who had ordered her to do so?

Who destroyed Ning Village afterwards? Hundreds of people died overnight. Who would be so cruel that even ordinary villagers who didn’t know anything would not let go …

He didn’t know anything. Even now, he didn’t know his own background. Others had a family, but he didn’t even know the names of his biological parents. He was an ordinary citizen? A giant?

However, what does it have to do with him? He was raised by Wu Niang, and his master taught him how to cultivate. What does all of this have to do with his parents? Ever since the accident in the ancient village, it has been more than twenty years since those two people appeared. They are immortals or gods. Whether they are alive or not, what does it have to do with him?

“What’s wrong with you?”

At this moment, Shen Jing could clearly feel his gradually disordered aura. Only then did Xiao Chen slowly wake up. He shook his head and remained silent, feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.

Slowly, after midnight, the last trace of Sword Qi in Shen Jing’s body was finally drawn out. She slowly put on her clothes and turned around to see Xiao Chen still with his eyes closed, as if he was distracted. “Oh right, I have something that I haven’t had time to tell you,” she said.

“What is it?”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and stared motionlessly at Shen Jing in front of him. After thinking for a while, Shen Jing said, “Back then, when you went to the Eastern Continent, not long after you left, I accidentally found out something. Back then, there was a person in the Ancient Village who survived the mystery.”

“What are you talking about?”

Xiao Chen’s expression immediately became serious. Back then, not a single one of the 400 plus people in the Ancient Village had survived. Therefore, it was unknown who the murderer was. This case had become an open case, and no one had solved it yet. But now, he heard that one person had survived back then …

“Calm down and listen to me first.”

Shen Jing guessed that he would be like this. She slowly said, “I secretly investigated that there was indeed such a person back then. That person loved to delve into cooking. On the day of the incident, a famous chef came from Suzhou to Qingzhou City. That person went to Qingzhou City to learn cooking, so he escaped a calamity …”

“Qingzhou City …”

Xiao Chen’s expression became even more solemn. Qingzhou City was not far from Xuanqing Mountain. It was about a hundred li southwest. To cultivators, it was not far. Ordinary people would have to walk for at least a day to reach it.

“Yes.”

Shen Jing nodded her head and continued, “So I speculate that it has been more than twenty years since that person worked as a cook in a restaurant in Qingzhou City. For a mortal, this is the greatest possibility.”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, “But … there are at least a thousand restaurants and teahouses of all sizes in Qingzhou City. That person …”

Shen Jing said, “I’ve investigated. The ancient village back then was actually also called the Wu Clan Village. There were the most people with the surname Wu among them. However, since that person’s name was hidden in Qingzhou City, he definitely didn’t use his original name anymore.”
