Xiao Chen sank into layers of deep dreams. Gradually, the sound of flowing water rang out in his ears, as if it was carrying a dream from his previous life. However, on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness, it was unknown if there were still flowers blooming all over the ground.

“Putong!”

With a clear sound, Xiao Chen fell into the flowing river water. The river water was muddy red. Beneath the whirlpool, there seemed to be countless vengeful spirits trapped in it. Qi roars echoed endlessly, and they were trapped by the River of Forgetfulness, unable to enter reincarnation.

It was unknown where the river led to, and if it led to the Yellow Springs beneath Jiuyou. Xiao Chen lost consciousness. He could neither feel the icy coldness of the river nor the pain on his body. He followed the river like this, not knowing where to go.

…

As for Shen Quezi, he was first injured by the “human sword” launched by Xiao Chen, then shook by the Deadwood Dragon’s Roar, and finally shot into his left arm by a Blood Transformation Needle. If it weren’t for his cultivation at the Cave Ruins Realm and the fact that he had absorbed Xuan Jizi’s blood soul not long ago, he would have died long ago.

At this moment, he used all of his strength to return to the top of the cliff. His left arm, which had been shot into the Blood Transformation Needle, had gradually lost consciousness.

Shen Quezi’s face was shocked. He didn’t have time to think too much. He quickly circulated his profound art to force the Blood Transformation Needle out of his arm. Otherwise, even if it wouldn’t threaten his life in a short while, his arm would most likely be in danger.

After a while, he heard a “chi” sound. Under the moonlight, that dense silver needle was finally forced out by him. However, his left arm was still numb and he didn’t feel anything.

Shen Quezi’s expression became gloomier and gloomier. Ever since he entered the Cave Ruins Realm, he had never been in such a sorry state. This time, not only had his junior brother died, but even he himself was in such a sorry state because of a person who had yet to transform into a god. Not only was he seriously injured by a sword strike, he almost lost his life. How could he swallow this breath?

“Xiao Yichen, when this old man captures you, I will definitely crush your bones into ashes …”

Shen Quezi’s gaze grew more and more terrifying. He was about to use the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse to track down Xiao Chen’s whereabouts, but he was surprised to discover that the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse had already expired.

“What’s going on?”

Shen Quezi’s expression froze, and he immediately looked down the cliff. However, there was nothing visible beneath the pitch-black sky. Once the Ten Days Soul Chasing Curse was cast, as long as it was still within ten days, it would never be interrupted. There was only one possibility, and that was that the other party had already died.

“Is that brat … dead?”

Shen Quezi once again focused his gaze. However, no matter if it was with his divine sense or other methods, he was unable to detect the situation below the cliff. However, he did not believe that Xiao Chen would die so easily. But why did the Ten Day Soul Chasing Curse lose its senses?

Just as he was puzzled, the entire cliff suddenly trembled violently. Smoke and dust immediately filled the sky. It was as if a devil that had been silent for ten thousand years was about to rush out from the depths of the earth. A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Shen Quezi was suddenly shocked. Even though his cultivation had reached his level, he still felt extremely depressed. Without hesitation, he immediately ran in the same direction as before. Finally, he escaped from this strange land after a short while.

The next day, he summoned all the disciples with his divine will. However, no matter how he searched, he could not find the strange path from last night. The strange path had disappeared. It was as if the strange land had suddenly disappeared. No matter how he searched, he could not find it.

Unknowingly, it was getting dark again. Shen Quezi was still unwilling to give up. He ordered everyone to search around here. Even if he searched through this place, he still wanted to find Xiao Chen.

However, after searching for three days and three nights in a row, the people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect could not find the strange path and the strange land he had mentioned, let alone Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Shen Quezi slowly recalled that it was like he had a dream three days ago. However, the sword wound on his chest, his left arm that was slowly regaining consciousness, and Di Gu’s baleful aura that was slowly corroding his bone marrow were all telling him that everything was real that night. It could not be a dream. However, where was Xiao Chen now?

“Elder … Elder!”

At this moment, a distant disciple hurriedly ran over and panted, “Elder Shen Que, we are searching according to the route you mentioned. We have searched a thousand miles around, but there is no trace of Xiao Yichen. Now … do you still want to continue searching?”

After listening to this, Shen Quezi slowly fell into deep thought. Now that the 10-day Soul Chasing Curse was no longer effective, that brat’s aura had completely disappeared. It was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. But even if he was looking for a needle in a haystack, he still had to find Xiao Chen. The question was … what should he do now?

“Elder Shenque!”

At this time, another old man dressed in red hurriedly rode over from afar. Behind him were more than 20 disciples. This person was one of the two Soul Formation cultivators who had chased Xiao Chen into the Endless Mountain Range, Yun Zhongxuan of the Grand Origin Dao Sect’s Thousand Secrets Pavilion.

Seeing this person arrive, Shen Quezi’s eyes narrowed. “What’s the matter?”

“Reporting to Elder …”

Yun Zhongxuan immediately threw down his flying sword. His expression was somewhat panicked as he cupped his hands and said, “We found traces of the Dream Immortal Sect three thousand miles north. Many of our people died at their hands before. If what the disciple expected was correct, it should be Meng Xian’er who personally brought them into the mountain this time …”

“Meng Xian’er …”

Upon hearing this name, Shen Quezi’s gaze instantly turned cold, causing the dozen or so disciples behind him to feel a burst of inexplicable coldness.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Regardless of what the people from the Dream Immortal Sect are doing here, our first task is to find Xiao Yichen as soon as possible. We must not let him leave this mountain range. We must order everyone outside to come in. Even if we seal this endless mountain range, we must not let him escape!”

“Yes, disciple obeys …”

Yun Zhongxuan only felt a little panicked and uneasy. He cupped his hands and didn’t dare to stay any longer. He immediately retreated.

Shen Quezi looked at the faintly discernible green mountain in the distance, and his gaze became even colder and more terrifying. “Xiao Yichen, Meng Xian’er, when I recover from my injuries, none of you will be able to escape from my Five Finger Mountain …”

In the night, Leng Yue was silent. The cold wind was bone-piercing. In a cave, Shen Quezi’s expression was terrifying. The sword wound on his chest was even more shocking. He was injured by Di Gu. The fierce energy in the sword had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow. How could he recover so easily?

“Pu!”

He spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood. Shen Quezi’s face immediately turned even paler and uglier. In order to recover from his injuries, he had already lost a hundred years of cultivation. However, this sword wound was still not healed. The killing intent in the sword was still hard to force out. If this continued, not only would his cultivation be reduced by the corrosion of the sword energy day and night, it would definitely endanger his life in less than three years.

“Hehe …”

He let out a miserable laugh and suddenly took out something from his sleeve. It was a strange black medicinal pill. The medicinal pill was enveloped by a layer of black mist and looked extremely strange.

‘”Mr. Ghost Mist, I didn’t expect that I made a bet with you back then. Now, you’re right. The evil cause I planted in the past has matured today. I still have to consume this devil pill in the end …
