From the beginning to the end, Xiao Chen didn't show the slightest hint of panic. After hearing Lian Yao's words, Xiao Chen cupped his hands together and thanked her without any hesitation. Then, he led the Sacred Palace group away.
Their footsteps were leisurely and Xiao Chen and the others didn't look like they were fleeing at all. On the contrary, it looked like they were taking a stroll in a garden. Bai Qiuyue's face darkened as she watched Xiao Chen leisurely lead the group away.
"Xiao Chen, you coward. Don't leave if you have the guts." Seeing Xiao Chen leave without being able to do anything about it made Bai Qiuyue extremely furious, which was why she yelled in anger.
However, Xiao Chen completely ignored Bai Qiuyue's angry shout. Don't leave if you have the guts? What a joke. Do you think this is a street brawl?
Since someone had helped him stop Bai Qiuyue and the others, why would Xiao Chen foolishly stay here? Moreover, he clearly knew that the Sacred Palace faction wasn't strong enough to fight Bai Qiuran. What else could he be but a fool if he continued to fight?
Xiao Chen glanced at Bai Qiuyue in disdain, then ignored her and led the group away.
Now wasn't the time to fight to the death with Bai Qiuran's faction. Once he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, Xiao Chen would settle everything himself.
Moreover, with Xiao Chen gone, he didn't have to worry about Lian Yao's safety at all. Bai Qiuyue's target was him to begin with. Now that he was gone, Bai Qiuyue naturally had no reason to attack. Therefore, Lian Yao would be fine. As such, Xiao Chen could leave without any psychological burden.
He could also guess why Yun Kunyao helped him. It might have something to do with Long Yang and Feng Jue. However, this wasn't something Xiao Chen needed to consider. Moreover, he had already told Long Yang and Feng Jue that he was going to enter the Heavenly Yin Valley, but they refused to leave and continued to stay at their residence, saying that they wanted to wait for Xiao Chen to come out. There was nothing Xiao Chen could do about it.
Putting aside Long Yang, Xiao Chen and the others left under Bai Qiuyue's murderous gaze. Lian Yao waited until Xiao Chen and the others disappeared before she took the initiative to pull some distance away from Zhu Mujue and looked at Bai Qiuyue expressionlessly.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Lian Yao's meaning was very clear. Now that the people from the Sacred Palace had left, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Upon hearing Lian Yao's words and recalling Xiao Chen's disdainful gaze before he left, Bai Qiuyue's face twisted in anger. She glared fiercely at Lian Yao. After a long while, the murderous aura in Bai Qiuyue's eyes slowly dissipated. She then exhaled and said, "Alright, Lian Yao. Let's go."
Bai Qiuyue was Bai Qiuran after all. Even though she was extremely angry at Lian Yao's interference, she ultimately swallowed her anger.
Just as Xiao Chen thought, now that the people from the Sacred Palace had left, there was no point in continuing to fight to the death with Lian Yao. After all, Bai Qiuyue's real target was only Xiao Chen and she wasn't very interested in Lian Yao. Moreover, Bai Qiuyue didn't really dare to do anything to Lian Yao.
One must know that one had to look at the owner before beating a dog. If Bai Qiuyue really killed Lian Yao here, how would she explain it to Yun Kunyao? One must know that even Bai Qiuran had to retreat when facing Yun Kunyao.
If it wasn't necessary, Bai Qiuyue didn't want to fall out with Yun Kunyao too much.
After missing the opportunity to kill Xiao Chen, one could imagine how depressed Bai Qiuyue was. However, there was nothing she could do. Moreover, everyone had to stay in the Heavenly Yin Valley for half a year. Missing this opportunity didn't mean that there wouldn't be a chance to kill Xiao Chen. However, she still had to be careful of Lian Yao and couldn't let her interfere again.
Along the way, a disciple came to Bai Qiuyue's side and said softly, "Senior Brother Bai, are we going to let Xiao Chen and the others off just like that?"
"Of course not. However, we still need to make some more plans. Who would have thought that Yun Kunyao would interfere and protect Xiao Chen?" Bai Qiuyue said calmly.
Bai Qiuyue didn't expect Yun Kunyao to interfere. Bai Qiuyue paused for a moment before speaking again.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Lian Yao. You don't have to do anything. Just find out where she is. The next time we make a move, we can't let Lian Yao ruin it."
Since Bai Qiuyue knew that Yun Kunyao had interfered, she naturally couldn't let her guard down. She immediately ordered someone to secretly follow Lian Yao and report Lian Yao's whereabouts to her at any time.
Hearing Bai Qiu Yue's words, the disciple respectfully replied. Following which, a dozen silhouettes quietly left from Bai Qiu Yue's group. These people were all experts in tracking. Although their battle prowess wasn't very high, their ability to conceal their auras was top-notch. It shouldn't be a problem for them to follow Bai Qiu Yue.
While Bai Qiuran's group was making last-minute arrangements, on the other side, Xiao Chen and the others had already left and were heading deeper into the Heavenly Yin Valley from the entrance.
As they went deeper, Xiao Chen realized that there were gusts of cold wind blowing in the Heavenly Yin Valley.
However, unlike the Yin Wind on Sunless Mountain, the Yin Wind in the Heavenly Yin Valley was still cold, but it had an extremely heaven-defying effect on cultivators. It could condense Spirit Energy.
That's right, the Yin Wind in the Heavenly Yin Valley could help cultivators condense the Spirit Energy in their bodies and make their Spirit Energy even more condensed.
It was common knowledge that the more condensed one's Spirit Energy was, the more stable one's foundation would be. At the same time, when one's Spirit Energy erupted, its might would be even greater.
It was precisely because of the chilly winds in the Chillywind Valley that the Heavenly Yin Valley could become a secret place for cultivation. Of course, the benefits of the Heavenly Yin Valley were far more than that. It was just that Xiao Chen and the others had not encountered it yet.
Xiao Chen was in a good mood as he felt the benefits of the Yin Wind. With such Yin Wind, even if he didn't encounter any other fortuitous encounters, Xiao Chen was confident that he could break through to the perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm within half a year with such Yin Wind.
He didn't have to take the initiative to do anything at all. Under the blowing of the Yin Wind, the Spirit Energy in his body was being condensed passively, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After traveling for over two hours, a fist-sized stone lay quietly on the ground in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy when he saw the stone. "Yin Wind Stone..."
He was overjoyed. He didn't expect to find a Yin Wind Stone so quickly. Moreover, it was the size of a fist. It wasn't just Xiao Chen. Qin Shuirou, Chen Ling, Long Qing, Chen Yu, Gudu Wuya, and the others were also delighted. Their gazes were locked onto the ordinary-looking black stone in front of them.
