The rest of them naturally couldn’t sense Xiao Chen’s divine sense, only a faint palpitating sensation. However, the red-clothed old man was covered in cold sweat, and the first reaction in his heart was such a strong divine sense!

At this moment, he felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, causing him to be almost out of breath. This was the first time he had felt such a heavy pressure since he had transformed into a spirit …

At this moment, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Could it be that Xuanqing Sect and the other Excellency had arrived? If that was the case, it was impossible for him to compete with Xuanqing Sect and the others alone.

Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind. There were experts nearby today, so it was not appropriate for him to stay here any longer …

“I won’t argue with you about today’s matter for the time being, but this matter is definitely not over …”

The red-clothed old man’s eyes were cold. After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and instantly disappeared into the depths of the thick fog with the heavily injured white-clothed man and the others.

On the cliff, Xiao Chen also withdrew his divine sense. Although his divine sense was only directed at the red-clothed old man just now, so no one else could sense it, with Qianyu Nichang’s cultivation, how could he not detect it?

“Let’s go.”

At this moment, he did not hesitate, nor did he want to meet Hua Weiyang at this moment. He pulled Hua Weiyang, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped into the depths of the thick fog.

At the bottom of the cliff, Poria and the others were still in shock. Qianyu Nichang had instantly turned into a swift shadow and chased after Xiao Chen in the direction he had escaped from.

“Junior Sister!”

Xia Guyun and the others saw her suddenly fly towards the cliff. This place was already close to the depths of the dense forest. They were afraid that something would happen to her. Without thinking, they immediately followed her.

The mountains were filled with dense fog. Xiao Chen brought Hua Weiyang along as fast as she could fly. The mountains, rivers, and ravines were as flat as the ground. However, Qianyu Nichang’s qinggong was not inferior to his. She followed closely behind him all the way. However, the fog in the mountains was getting thicker and thicker, making it impossible for her to see the figure walking in front of her.

“Zheng!”

Xiao Chen slashed forward with his sword. The sword energy immediately dispersed the dense fog around him. Xiao Chen flicked his finger and with a “bang”, the sword energy dispersed and the dense fog gathered again.

After half an incense stick had passed, the two of them chased after the wind and lightning in the thick fog, but Qianyu Nichang was unable to catch up to him. In front of him was a dense forest. Xiao Chen leapt up and flew into the dense forest with Hua Weiyang, immediately concealing the aura of the two of them.

Qianyu Nichang chased after the dense forest, but seeing the white mist shrouding the forest, the ancient trees towering to the sky, she could no longer see anything clearly. She had lost her aura. She could no longer find Xiao Chen in such a large dense forest.

After a long time, Poria, Leng Qianxue, Xia Guyun, and the others caught up. Seeing Junior Sister Qianyu arrive in the dense forest alone, they didn’t know why. With their cultivation, they naturally didn’t notice the aura of Xiao Chen at all just now.

“Junior … Junior Sister, what’s wrong with you?”

Fu Ling looked at her out of breath. He was shocked when he saw her suddenly leave. He thought that something had happened again.

Qianyu Nichang did not say anything. He looked at the dense fog around him and shook his head for a long time. A gloomy expression flashed across his face. “It’s fine, let’s go back …”

After the few of them left, the forest slowly regained its calm. After a long time, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang came out from behind a large tree. Looking in the direction where the group of people had left earlier, Xiao Chen remained silent.

‘”What? Why didn’t you see her just now?” Hua Weiyang smiled softly, his fingers curling up his hair. “Have you ever secretly liked her before?” She whispered in Xiao Chen’s ear.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Even back in Xuanqing, I only regarded her as my junior sister.”

Xiao Chen glanced at her and then looked around. The fog around him was getting thicker and thicker. He didn’t know where this was, but if he didn’t leave before dark, he would definitely get lost.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was about to say something else, Hua Weiyang immediately changed the subject and said, “Let’s go out first.”

The two of them did not walk in the direction of Qianyu Nichang and the others just now. Instead, they went to the other side of the forest. Only when it was dark did they walk out of the forest.

Under the darkness of the night, the surroundings became blurry. After walking for a while, Hua Weiyang suddenly stopped and said, “Wait …”

Although she seemed playful and eccentric on her previous journey, her mind was actually more delicate than Xiao Chen’s. She would pay close attention to every place she went.

“What’s the matter?”

When Xiao Chen saw that she suddenly stopped, he immediately stopped. He gazed over and saw that there were strange rocks in front of him, but faintly, Spiritual Energy from the spell formation came.

“This is …”

Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed as he slowly approached. He stretched out his divine sense and discovered that there was a formation hidden within the group of stones. However, he did not know what this formation was for, nor who was secretly setting it up here.

“Shh …”

Hua Weiyang suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him. The two of them quickly hid behind a large rock. Under the curtain of night, dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

One of them had already transformed into a spirit, and the other dozen or so had only just cultivated the Void Dao.

“Check to see if there is any loosening of the formation.”

As the voice of the elder in the lead rang out, the other ten disciples quickly moved to check if the array Spiritual Energy had leaked out from the group of stones.

Behind the boulder, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang held their breath. Xiao Chen stuck out his head and looked out. He smiled softly, as if he understood something. He sent a secret message to Xiao Chen, “Guess what they’re doing?”

Xiao Chen shook his head, signaling for silence.

After about an incense stick of time, more than a dozen disciples returned to the old man’s back. One disciple cupped his hands and said, “Master, ten miles around, all the formations have been inspected and have not loosened.”

“Not loose? Strange, where did that strange movement during the day come from …”

The old man lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he raised his head. There was a hint of doubt on his face as he said to the disciples, “Go to the next formation.”

At this moment, a disciple walked forward and whispered, “Master, there’s something that disciple doesn’t know. What exactly is in the depths of the hundred thousand dense forests? He insisted that we go through so much trouble …”

Before he could finish his words, a trace of coldness suddenly appeared in the air. The old man coldly looked at him and said, “Do more, speak less. Normally, you only need to do things. It’s best to ask less about the things on top.”

“Alright … Alright.”

The disciple scratched his head and retreated.

After a while, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang walked out from behind the boulder after the dozen or so people had left without a trace.

“Looks like those people just now were from Tai Shi Dao Sect. They were sneaky …”

As Hua Weiyang spoke, he slowly walked into the formation. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pressed her, “Don’t go over there. There’s a restriction.”

Hua Weiyang stopped and saw that there were faint runes beneath his feet. If he took another step forward, he would probably be immediately injured by the restriction.
