When Xiao Chen saw that her intentions had been decided, it was naturally impossible for her to go alone. He said, “I will go with you.”

“You …”

Hua Weiyang raised her head and looked at him quietly at this moment. Only now did she suddenly realize that the person in front of her was far different from the Xuan Qing disciple she knew before. She was completely different from the youth who called her “strange mother-in-law” one after another.

This kind of feeling was like, after ten years, the white-clothed youth had already grown up … However, why did he no longer smile like before?

“Boom!”

Right at this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded, followed by beansized raindrops. The weather in the hundred thousand dense forests was strange, and it was often uncertain whether it was sunny or cloudy.

“It’s raining. Let’s find a shelter first.”

The rain gradually became heavier and heavier. The two of them found a cave to shelter from the rain. Hua Weiyang’s body was wet from the rain, and his hair touched his face. He looked very charming.

Xiao Chen went outside to find some wood and used his zhenqi to dry the water. He set up a fire in the cave, which made the surroundings much warmer and brighter.

Hua Weiyang sat in front of the fire with his hands crossed over his knees. Looking at the flames beating in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. After coming out for so long this time, big brother and little brother must be very worried. There was also Father King. Father King usually didn’t care about him, but in his heart …

“Sigh …”

Thinking of this, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but sigh softly. Why did the restrictions in the Mortal and Secluded Realms become so heavy now? Even he couldn’t go back now. Little Brother and Big Brother definitely couldn’t come to the mortal world …

“Why are you sighing?”

Seeing her suddenly sigh, Xiao Chen asked.

Hua Weiyang looked up at him and shook his head without saying anything.

Around midnight, the rain outside slowly stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed. A bright Moon appeared on the clouds, illuminating this mountain range as clear as a wash.

“Gulu …”

Just as everything was quiet, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the cave. Hua Weiyang hurriedly covered his stomach and secretly glanced at Xiao Chen. Fortunately, he was meditating with his eyes closed and did not hear him.

Cultivators naturally did not need to eat three meals a day like mortals, but if they did not eat for a long time, they would inevitably be hungry if they consumed too much food.

“Gulu …”

With another sound, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but blush. He covered his stomach and looked at Xiao Chen, “Whoever … you meditate, meditate. Why does your stomach keep screaming?”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, looked at her strangely, and said, “It’s clearly your stomach that’s screaming.”

“You …”

Hua Weiyang bit his lips and lowered his head. He thought to himself that this idiot had changed everything, but that didn’t change at all. He was still the same as before. He was truly annoying.

Xiao Chen shook his head. He got up and went outside. Not long after, he caught two fat fish and returned. When he was in Ning Village, he used to swim in the mountains and catch rabbits and fish. Naturally, he was good at it. At this moment, he peeled off the scales of the fish and roasted them on the fire.

Not long after, the cave was filled with fragrance. Hua Weiyang held his hands and smiled softly, “I didn’t see that you still have this kind of skill. It can’t be that your master taught you this too, right?”

After a while, the fish gradually cooked, and Hua Weiyang said, “Then … I disguised myself as a mother-in-law to tease you. You wouldn’t be angry, would you?”

“Of course not.”

As Xiao Chen roasted the fish, he replied, “That day on Pingding Mountain, you pretended to be me and lied to quite a few people. The person who fought with me at the Branch Altar was also you. Anyway, every time I saw you, you would change your appearance.”

“Ah …”

Hua Weiyang scratched his head and smiled softly, “So you already know” After a while, he asked, “Then why did you leave Xuanqing Sect?”

At this moment, the cave suddenly became quiet and the air seemed to freeze. Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but be stunned. Did he ask something wrong?

“The fish is ready.”

Xiao Chen turned around and handed the roasted fish to her.

“Oh … thank you.”

Hua Weiyang took the grilled fish from him and didn’t ask any more questions.

…

On the second day, the weather was clear. Xiao Chen arrived outside the cave and looked at the boundless forest. He asked, “Thirty-six sects, where do you plan to go first?”

“Nine Nether Divine Religion, I’m quite familiar with Patriarch Nine Nether.” Hua Weiyang walked up and looked at him.

Seven days later, the two of them arrived at Ghost Wind Ridge, where Patriarch Nine Nether was. Among the 36 sects, the Nine Nether Divine Religion, Blood Hawk Religion, and Blood Sun Divine Religion were the strongest, with nearly 10,000 followers.

However, tonight, Ghost Wind Ridge seemed unusual. Originally, only Demon Cult disciples would come here, but at this moment, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang had actually discovered a lot of Xuanmen cultivators entering and leaving this place.

“Looks like Xian Shu is right. The people of the 36 sects have indeed betrayed …”

Looking at the faintly discernible building below, Hua Weiyang gradually frowned. Due to the precipitous terrain of the Border Region, the Righteous Sects had not been able to eradicate the 36 sects of the Border Region for so many years. At this moment, which sect were those cultivators from? It seemed that their strength was not low …

“Do you know which sect those people belong to?”

“I’ve never seen him before.”

Xiao Chen shook his head. Although he didn’t know much about the various sects in Xianyuan Five Realms in recent years, if it was Xianyuan Five Realms’s sect, he would definitely be able to recognize them. However, these people in Ghost Wind Ridge didn’t seem to be Xianyuan Five Realms’s Righteous Sect.

“Do you want to … go down and take a look?”

Hua Weiyang looked up at him and whispered. He always felt that this matter was somewhat unusual.

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen nodded. If he wanted to know what had happened to the 100,000-strong forest, he only needed to enter the Ghost Wind Ridge and ask Patriarch Nine Nether. At that time, he would naturally know everything.

…

At this moment, in a dark stone hall in Ghost Wind Ridge, there was a person sitting on the hall. That person was holding a black stone in his hand, and he was laughing non-stop.

This person was none other than the sect master of the Nine Nether Divine Sect. He called himself Patriarch Nine Nether. He held the black stone in his hand and looked at it again and again. He chuckled and said, “With this soul stone, advancing one’s cultivation to another three levels is not a problem at all. If we can get more from them, then …”

“When the time comes, Patriarch Hong Fu will be blessed with boundless magic power, won’t he?”

At this moment, a young girl’s voice came from outside the hall. Patriarch Nine Nether was so frightened that he almost slid the soul stone out of his hand. “Who … who … is a human or a ghost!”

“What do you say.”

As soon as he finished speaking, two silhouettes suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall. They were Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang.

The light in the hall dimmed. Patriarch Nine Nether blinked his eyes forcefully, and it was as if he had seen a ghost. “Palace … Palace Master … no, no, you … you … you … didn’t you already …”

“I’m not dead, am I?”

Hua Weiyang’s eyes were cold as he walked towards him step by step. Patriarch Nine Nether was so scared that his entire body trembled. He hurriedly knelt down and spat out, “Palace Master … it really isn’t that I want to betray the Flower Pity Palace, but … it’s …”

“What is it? Get up and talk.”

Hua Weiyang’s gaze was cold as he looked at him coldly.
