“Achoo!”
Ye Chen, who was on his way, rubbed his nose and asked curiously, “Who’s talking about me behind my back?”
He naturally had no idea about Ji Siqing and Ji Lin’s conversation.
He had once thought of meeting the two of them, but given the situation with the Medical God sect and his father, he did not have the time.
When everything was settled, he would naturally look for them and repay the five years of kindness.
The sky gradually darkened. Unknowingly, a day had passed.
As Qingxuan Peak was quite a distance away from the Medical God sect, he was not able to reach it in a day. Given his current speed, he would probably arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Helpless, Ye Chen could only try to find a nearby inn.
Unfortunately, he looked around and found none. There was not even an ordinary house, let alone an inn.
He regretted letting Xue Fenghua and Shen Shixi leave early.
Otherwise, with their knowledge of the Kunlun Mountains, it would not be a problem for them to find a place to stay.
Ye Chen had lived in the Kunlun Mountains for five years. However, during these five years, he had been focused on cultivation and revenge and did not go to many places.
Thus, he was very unfamiliar with the area.
“Forget it. I’ll just find a place to rest for the night.”
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. Some spirit stones appeared in his hand. He planned to form a formation with these spirit stones.
There were many demonic beasts in the Kunlun Mountains. Without the protection of a formation, it was extremely dangerous in the wilderness.
Not long after, Ye Chen’s formation was established, and spiritual energy surrounded the area. It was not a large formation, but was adequate to warn Ye Chen when there was danger.
Of course, this was also a concealment formation, so very few people would be able to discover him.
Ye Chen then sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Lin Qingxuan had given him the real Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique. He had not tried it yet, so now was the perfect time to try.
After more than ten minutes, he could clearly feel that every time he circulated the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique, the true qi in his dantian was being refined by a force, and his true qi became purer.
At the same time, the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be affected and covered his entire body. He actually discovered that his physical body seemed to have become stronger.
“Is this body refinement? The real Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique has the effect of refining the body!”
Ye Chen was overjoyed. He continued to circulate the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique. His body was crackling.
If Lin Qingxuan had not been silent in the Samsara Graveyard, Ye Chen would have barraged him with questions.
Just as Ye Chen was concentrating on his cultivation, a series of footsteps were heard.
“Hmm, someone actually came to this godforsaken place?”
Soon, Ye Chen saw a man and a woman appear in his field of vision.
However, Ye Chen was in the forest, and was concealed by the formation, so the two of them did not notice him.
Their auras were extremely weak, and they were panting heavily. They were obviously injured.
One of them even had a gaping hole in his chest. Blood was constantly seeping out, and his condition was worrying.
As for the woman, Ye Chen was surprised when he saw her face.
She had an extremely pure face, straight eyebrows, and long eyelashes that trembled slightly. She was fair skinned, and was wearing a white tracksuit, striped sweatpants and sports shoes. Despite this, she looked stunning.
Ye Chen was not surprised by the other party’s appearance, but by her attire.
Clearly, she was from Huaxia!
Although some people in the Kunlun Mountains were dressed in the same way as Huaxia citizens, there were still some subtle differences in their overall dressing style.
As for why she appeared here, he did not know.
However, this was someone else’s private matter and he did not intend to interfere. He closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
In the distance, the girl looked at the injured man and said, “You’re so heavily injured. I don’t think you can’t hold on for long. It’s too late for us to run anymore. Those people are coming soon. Why don’t we hand over that thing? At least they will spare our lives.”
The man shook his head.
“Miss, you’ve always been in Huaxia and don’t understand the rules of the Kunlun Mountains. Even if we give it to them, they won’t let us go. Killing people to silence them is a common thing here. If you’re lucky enough to survive this time, you should leave the Kunlun Mountains immediately and return to Huaxia. Although the spiritual energy in Huaxia is thin, it’s safer than here.”
“Also, when you arrive in Huaxia, look for Mr. Ye immediately.”
“What do you mean?”
The girl’s eyes were watery. She had a premonition and was about to grab the man’s arm, but it was already too late.
The man took out a long sword and charged in a certain direction. He was undoubtedly like a moth darting into the fire.
Before he disappeared, he left behind a sentence.
“Miss, I can’t protect you anymore. I can only try my best to stall those people. What you have to do is think of a way to return to Huaxia!”
The young girl gritted her teeth and no longer hesitated. She hurriedly headed in another direction.
However, she had only taken a few steps when she noticed a few figures appearing from the darkness.
Her expression changed drastically. She wanted to walk in the opposite direction, but she realized that people were coming from all directions!
She was still too late!
Bang!
Seconds later, the man who had left was thrown out, and smashed into the ground. Unfortunately, he was already dead.
When the woman saw this scene, her face turned pale. She had not expected their pursuers to catch up so quickly!
She subconsciously took a few steps back and backed up against a tree.
There was no way to escape.
In the darkness, a black-robed old man walked out. His ice-cold eyes stared at the woman. Then, he extended his hand and said indifferently, “Hand over the thing, and perhaps you will be granted a swift death..”
