The mountain was often filled with dense fog. The mountain was also very steep. It was often past noon, and the fog only started to dissipate. Xiao Chen had searched the mountain for three days in a row. In these three days, he had not seen Xiao Meng’er and her senior brother. It was unknown where they had arrived today.

After noon, Xiao Chen stretched out his divine sense and searched every cave within a radius of a hundred kilometers. However, there were so many caves nearby that even though his current cultivation was no longer comparable to before, if he continued searching like this, it would still consume Power of Primordial Spirit.

It wasn’t until twilight fell that Xiao Chen finally discovered something strange in a cave several dozen miles away. A flame shot out from the cave, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a ball of flame, but a fiery red spirit fox.

“Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox …”

In that instant, Xiao Chen immediately withdrew his divine sense. Dozens of miles away, the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox seemed to have sensed his divine sense as well. In an instant, it fled out of the mountain.

The Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox moved like lightning, and its speed was extremely fast. Xiao Chen did not hesitate as he stretched out his divine sense again and caught up with it in an instant.

It wasn’t until nightfall that he gradually caught up to the spirit fox. The spirit fox ran for a hundred li, and its speed didn’t slow down, but instead increased. It didn’t know where it was, but a Formation Power suddenly appeared in front of it.

“Junior Sister, the Second Wood Formation is about to be completed. You should retreat a little.”

The person in front of him was Xiao Meng’er’s Third Senior Brother, Liu Wuxin. At this moment, the formation on the ground emitted a faint green light. It was precisely him who was gathering the essence of the Second Wood from the nearby mountain peak.

It turned out that three days ago, the two of them had found the essence of wood here, so they had spent three days here and spent a lot of energy before finally forming this wood array. Next was the key. The array was determined not to be affected by any fluctuations.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

However, at this moment, a flash of fire suddenly rushed over. Looking closely, there was actually a Nine-tailed Spirit Fox hidden within the flame. It was the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox. It panicked and had no choice but to rush towards the Second Wood Formation.

“Shit!”

Liu Wuxin was suddenly shocked. Seeing that a fire fox from somewhere was about to destroy the formation, he didn’t even think about it. He condensed his finger into a white sword qi and slashed over. How powerful was this sword? It was bound to slash the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox to death.

However, at this moment, another green light suddenly flew over from behind, and with a “zheng” sound, the white sword energy was cancelled out at a critical moment.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was instantly shocked. It stomped on all fours and rushed towards the Second Wood Formation. Then, there was a loud “rumble”. Affected by the formation, more than a dozen surrounding mountains trembled violently, as if they were about to collapse. At this moment, the earth shook endlessly.

As soon as the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox charged into the formation, it immediately destroyed the formation, causing the surroundings to tremble endlessly. As for the Spirit Fox, it was shocked and collided with the formation horizontally, causing the entire formation to be disrupted in an instant.

“Rumble!”

Instantly, the mountain trembled. Within a radius of several kilometers, smoke and dust erupted. The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox let out two “creaks” and disappeared like lightning into the billowing smoke and dust.

By the time Xiao Chen arrived, the Spiritual Fox had long since disappeared. The surrounding Formation Power was in chaos, making it impossible for his divine sense to reach out.

“Who are you!”

Seeing the formation that had been constructed with great difficulty destroyed, no matter how high Liu Wuxin’s Dao Heart was, at this moment, her face was covered in frost.

“It’s you …”

Xiao Meng’er naturally recognized Xiao Chen at a glance. She didn’t expect that she would encounter him here again. If someone else destroyed her Second Wood Formation, she would definitely draw her sword and slash it.

However, this person in front of her was none other than Xiao Chen. Previously, she had owed him a favor in the Yellow Springs Ancient Land. Now, even if the other party destroyed her formation, she still couldn’t say anything.

“Junior Sister, do you recognize this person?”

Liu Wuxin, on the other hand, was slightly surprised and looked at Xiao Meng’er.

At this moment, Xiao Meng’er frowned deeply. Today, she already knew Xiao Chen’s identity. Back in Acheron Valley, when she knew Xiao Chen’s identity, she couldn’t tell what kind of feeling it was. However, this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

“Who are you?”

Seeing that Xiao Meng’er did not speak, Liu Wuxin looked at Xiao Chen again. However, at this moment, there was obvious hostility in her eyes, especially when the other party destroyed the Second Wood Formation that he had set up with great difficulty.

“Passers-by.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was faint. As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly moved forward. Liu Wuxin did not expect him to be so arrogant. His eyes immediately turned cold and he was about to make a move when Xiao Meng’er reached out to press him, “Senior Brother, forget it, that person … he helped me once.”

“What are you talking about?”

Hearing this, Liu Wuxin seemed to have guessed something. Xiao Meng’er looked in the direction where Xiao Chen left and frowned, “He is the person I told Senior Brother before. This person is acting for no reason, and his origin is unknown. Senior Brother doesn’t need to care about him.”

“But this person caused the destruction of the Second Wood Formation just now. He didn’t even say an apology. Does he know who you are?” Liu Wuxin frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Meng’er at the end of her sentence.

Of course, with regard to Xiao Chen, Xiao Meng’er only mentioned to him what had happened in Acheron Valley and did not reveal Xiao Chen’s identity.

Right now, there weren’t many people in the entire Spirit Ruins Realm who knew Xiao Chen’s identity. Most of them were just randomly guessing and following suit.

At this moment, Xiao Meng’er was still staring in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. The night gradually fell. She shook her head and said, “Probably, I don’t know.”

“I see …”

This time, Liu Wuxin was relieved. She thought to herself, “So that person doesn’t know who Junior Sister is, nor does he know who Master is. No wonder he is so arrogant. If he knew who Master is, how would he dare to do so?”

“Ah, it’s a pity that the second wood formation was destroyed. The second wood essence energy that had been gathered in the surroundings with great difficulty dissipated in an instant. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to set up the formation again.”

Liu Wuxin shook her head and sighed as she looked at the dried vines scattered all around her.

…

Moreover, Xiao Chen had followed the aura of the Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox all night. Finally, the next morning, he discovered the traces of the Spirit Fox again.

However, the Spirit Fox was extraordinary. It actually dodged his divine sense many times and ran to an unknown location. When it reached a mountain stream in front of it, profound light suddenly shot into the sky and enveloped it.

The Spirit Fox was immediately frightened to the point of “squeaking”. It wanted to rush out, but it was already enveloped by numerous restrictions. However, seeing that the restrictions were shrinking smaller and smaller, it finally formed a halo and imprisoned it inside.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The Spirit Fox’s entire body trembled in fright, and the flames on its body started to burn. At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared not far away. They were a man and a woman.

“Haha! After spending three months in Mount Shu, I’ve finally lured this Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox out. This time, Big Brother is saved!”

The girl dressed in red ran over quickly and caught the Spirit Fox. She gently stroked its soft fur and laughed, “Indeed, it is the legendary Nine-tailed Fire Spirit Fox. Although there are flames on its body, the flames are not burning.”

“Little sister, you’d better be careful. This should be a female fox, but she’s going to get angry and see if she burns all your hair.”

At this moment, the man also walked over, but looking at the smile on his face, Yushu was facing the wind, wearing a Qingyi, carrying two swords on his back, presumably an expert with a sword.

“Little fox, be good. Don’t be afraid. We won’t hurt your life …”

The young girl held the spirit fox in her arms and gently stroked its fur. She loved it very much. The handsome man beside her shook his head and smiled, “Alright, this Nine-tailed Spirit Fox has also been caught. We have been out for three months now, so we have to go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, Master will be worried about you at home again.”

“The two of you … I’m afraid you can’t take this Nine-tailed Spirit Fox away.”

Just as the man finished speaking, a figure stood not far from the two of them at an unknown time.

That person’s white hair was like snow, and his eyes were like frost. It was Xiao Chen.
