“I never came out again …”

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper as he gradually fell into deep thought. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Fairy Red Butterfly, who was standing by the windowsill. He asked in a solemn voice, “Is what the Fairy said true?”

“Haha …”

Fairy Red Butterfly smiled gently and turned around. The smile on his face gradually faded away. He said word by word, “Childe can not believe me, but I, Illusory Moon Square, will never provide anyone with false information …”

At the end of her sentence, she smiled faintly, “Childe needs news, and Illusory Moon Square will go and get the news for Childe. This is just a simple business. Childe thinks that I’m lying to you, so maybe he thinks too much …”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen slowly believed her words. Acheron Valley, Acheron Valley … Where is Acheron Valley? Back then, father and mother were serious …

Thinking of this, his fingers became tighter and tighter … Could it be that the scene in the dream was Acheron Valley?

After a long time, Xiao Chen’s expression slowly returned to calm. At this moment, his expression became calm again. He looked at her and said, “The Illusory Moon Square has found news for me. Tell me, what kind of reward does Fairy need? If only Xiao could give me …”

“Haha …”

Fairy Red Butterfly smiled gently and looked at him. “If I want to spend the night with Childe tonight, would Childe … be willing?” He said.

Xiao Chen looked at her with a calm expression, “Someone Xiao can’t ask for the beauty of Fairy. Why not?”

“Pu …”

Fairy Red Butterfly covered her mouth and smiled. She shook her hand and said, “Forget it, I’m not joking with you anymore. Today, we first met. I don’t think this reward will be paid. Let’s just treat it as a friend …”

Xiao Chen knew it wouldn’t be so simple, so he stood up and said, “Tell me, what does Fairy want me to do?”

At this moment, Fairy Red Butterfly did not beat around the bush. He looked at him and said, “I presume that Childe is going to Acheron Valley as well. Why don’t you come with us this time? Actually, I won’t hide anything from Childe. There is an aura of the Underworld shrouding the depths of Acheron Valley all year round. Childe is not afraid of the Ghost King’s Yin Qi. There must be something extraordinary about it.”

Xiao Chen understood what she meant when she heard this. She thought that she could make a few Quasi-Sages think about it. No matter what, they had to enter. It seemed that there must be something in Acheron Valley that attracted everyone …

Fairy Red Butterfly saw the look in his eyes. She didn’t hide anything from him, “In ancient times, Acheron Valley was not called Acheron Valley. He experienced many great battles. The last time was 10,000 years ago. Legend has it that a god from the Heaven Realm cut through Acheron Valley’s earth veins with a single sword, causing the aura of the Underworld to seep into the mortal world. For countless years, Acheron Valley was enveloped by an aura of the Underworld, making it difficult for strangers to approach it anymore.”

“Cut the earth vein, the aura of the Underworld has seeped into the world … Interesting.” Xiao Chen looked out of the window at the night and said indifferently.

“Haha” Fairy Red Butterfly smiled and continued, “What’s even more interesting is that the gods of the Heaven Realm destroyed the earth veins in the world, causing the Yin and Yang Realms to be out of balance. For fear of being punished by the Heaven Emperor, he wanted to seal the crack with a few magical artifacts. But how did he expect that he would discover a secret that even the Heaven Emperor did not know about during the process of sealing the crack?”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that it was interesting. He turned around and asked, “What happened next?”

Fairy Red Butterfly smiled and said, “Then? No, then. After discovering the secret, the High God of the Heaven Realm mysteriously disappeared. He hasn’t heard from anyone for ten thousand years. It seems that most likely he’s already dead.”

“So God will die as well …”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered the Immortal Devil Divine Buddha shadows beside him. Those were all experts from 10,000 years ago or even more. However, even Immortal Devil Divine Buddhas would not be able to escape death in the end. The Ancient Oriental Cultivation World had collapsed, and all the experts of the previous era had perished. No one had escaped that annihilation.

Fairy Red Butterfly continued, “Even though the High God is missing, the restriction seal he left behind and the Heaven Realm magical artifacts are still in Acheron Valley …”

“So you all want to find the magical artifact left behind by the High God back then … Is that so?” Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.

Fairy Red Butterfly smiled, “It’s not just that. Don’t tell me that Childe Xiao doesn’t want to see what secrets that Heaven Realm High God discovered?”

“Secret …”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered what Qianyu Nichang had told him before. Xuanqing Sect had a Jade Pivot Secret Realm, but no one knew where it was from the beginning to the end. And inside the Jade Pivot Secret Realm, there was a great secret in the world …

“Don’t be curious about any secrets in this world. When the secrets are solved, it is often when death comes …”

Xiao Chen came back to his senses. As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the room. When he reached the door, he stopped. He turned his head slightly and said indifferently, “Acheron Valley, I’ll be there”. Then, he went straight outside.

Compared to Acheron Valley’s secret, what he cared more about was his father’s affairs back then. Why was all of this happening? Was it his father who discovered a secret back then?

…

It was dark outside. Xiao Chen left the Illusory Moon Square. When he reached a quiet alley, he stopped and said, “Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, how long do you plan to stay with me?”

“Venerable, Excellency …”

After being discovered, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan immediately appeared. Two black shadows slowly appeared on the ground, and then the black shadow slowly stood up and transformed into her and Zi Yuan’s appearances.

Night Shade was extremely good at camouflage. They could turn into shadows and hide in the darkness. If not for Xiao Chen’s breakthrough in cultivation a while ago, his spiritual sense would have been much sharper and it would have been difficult for him to detect their existence after nightfall.

“Wei Yang sent you here.”

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the two of them. Without them saying anything, he could guess that Wei Yang would definitely let Night Shade follow him.

Bai Luan frowned slightly, “Palace Master Wei Yang was worried that something might happen to Excellency, so he asked us to secretly follow him. We just found out two days ago that Heavenless Palace has already sent someone …”

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen approached the two of them and asked, “Who did you send?”

Bai Luan said: “At present, we can confirm that there is Lian Zhensi.”

“Lian Zhensi …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed as he lowered his head and pondered. “Zi Yuan and Heavenless Palace have the highest cultivation in the seven palaces below Lian Zhensi, especially Zi Weisi, which is said to be close to the Sage realm …”

At this point, a worried expression appeared on her face. If there was only one Lian Zhensi, it would be fine. If Zi Weisi, the leader of the seven palaces, also came, it would probably be difficult to deal with.

Xiao Chen also frowned deeply. With his current strength, he could only deal with a Tier 4 or 5 Quasi-Saint with Di Gu Sword. However, Lian Zhensi and Zi Weisi already had at least a Tier 7 cultivation.

“Also, there’s something else …”

Zi Yuan hesitated. She wanted to say something, but when her words reached her mouth, she withdrew them. Seeing that she wanted to say something, Xiao Chen hesitated and asked, “What’s the matter, but there’s no harm in saying it.”

“Mm …”

Zi Yuan frowned slightly and pondered for a while before finally saying, “This time, we found out that Xiao Clan’s people … have also come to Hill of Illusory Ruins.”

“People from the Xiao Clan …”

Xiao Chen’s voice was faint, and there was no change on his face. Zi Yuan raised her head. She thought that he would be moved, but she didn’t expect that after hearing about the Xiao Clan, he would still be so cold and indifferent.

At this moment, she came to her senses. Yes, he seemed to be indifferent to everything except Palace Master Wei Yang …

Zi Yuan continued, “Maybe Xiao Clan came for Acheron Valley, or maybe it was because … Zi Yuan didn’t dare to speak rashly back then.”

“It doesn’t matter …”

Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “What do they do? What does it have to do with me?”

“But …”

Zi Yuan frowned and continued to say, “Your Excellency doesn’t plan on recognizing them? After all, your Excellency is also …”

“What is it?”

Xiao Chen looked at her. When he saw his two gazes, Zi Yuan was speechless. Her throat seemed to be obstructed by something. She didn’t say anything else.

Bai Luan continued, “There are very powerful people coming out of Xiao Clan this time … The people of Heavenless Palace will definitely be afraid.”

“Do you also think so?”

Xiao Chen looked at her again. The two sisters lowered their heads and remained silent. How could he not understand what the two of them were thinking? However, it was impossible for him. No matter how many peerless experts there were in the Xiao Clan, even if his life was at stake, he would never turn to the Xiao Clan for help.

Zi Yuan slowly raised his head and whispered, “Perhaps this time, they … they might also be looking for Excellency …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes gradually turned cold. “Then I’ll say it again. The Xiao character in this name was taken by Master back then, and it has nothing to do with the Xiao character from the Xiao Clan …”

“But Your Excellency …”

“There’s no need to say anything else!”

Xiao Chen flicked her sleeves and stopped the two of them from continuing. After a while, she said, “There will definitely be countless people gathered in Acheron Valley in a few days. When that time comes, I will be with Baimei Shangren and the others. I heard them say that there is an aura of the Underworld enveloping them. It is very dangerous. Don’t follow them in. If you have any news, just send me a message.”

“Yes, this subordinate obeys …”

The two of them cupped their hands and looked at each other. In an instant, they turned into two black shadows and merged into the boundless night.

“Haha, it seems that Childe Xiao does not intend to admit his identity …”

Not long after Bai Luan and Zi Yuan left, a charming laugh suddenly sounded at the other end of the alley. Following which, a figure slowly walked in. It was Fairy Red Butterfly.

Xiao Chen looked at her motionlessly. There was no change on his face, Fairy Red Butterfly smiled. “Haha, little fellow, do you know that the Xiao Clan used to be the strongest of the six great clans, occupying the Central Plains of the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World? Even now, there are still countless people in this world who want to join the Xiao Clan, and you have the Xiao Clan’s orthodox bloodline, yet you are unwilling to admit that you are a member of the Xiao Clan. How interesting …”

At this point, she smiled again, “Let’s not talk about anything else. If people find out that you are Xiao Zhufeng, even Tianzhu City will give you a third of Xiao Clan’s face.”

“What does this have to do with going to Acheron Valley in three days?” After listening to her say a long string, Xiao Chen only looked at her and said quietly.

Hearing this, Fairy Red Butterfly was slightly surprised. He shook his head and smiled. He flicked his sleeve and turned into a shadow in the direction of the Illusory Moon Square. Only a sentence came from afar: “Childe is resting tonight. Let’s leave tomorrow morning.”

…

Three days later, the two of them had arrived in Acheron Valley and Acheron Valley, also known as the Yellow Springs Corpse Valley. It was only because this was an ancient battlefield that countless people had died. No wonder the Yin Qi was so heavy. Now, after being washed away by the rain, white bones could still be seen in many places.

Apart from that, there was also the Yellow Springs Flower that filled the valley. It was bright red, like blood, revealing an indescribable strangeness.

“Flowers of Yellow Springs, flowers bloom in the Netherworld. Childe Xiao should be careful not to get close to these flowers of death …”

Ever since the two of them entered Acheron Valley, Fairy Red Butterfly had been very careful along the way, even though there was no aura of the Underworld here.
