"What?! Xiao Chen has been captured? "Kerr Lin and Xie Fei asked in unison. Kerr Lin was so anxious that she stood up.
Hong Zhu nodded, then continued, "I've brought some people to the Hong Clan earlier. Now, I'm using the information network I already have to find a way to find out Xiao Chen's whereabouts. If you all can head to the inner martial arts world earlier, perhaps you can help us look for him before the sacrificial ceremony."
"This … Xiao Chen is so powerful, how could he have been captured? Is there a mistake? "Kerr Lin bit her lower lip and asked in a flustered manner while pulling Hong Zhu along.
She was thinking about how she could help Xiao Chen escape from danger, but she couldn't think of any way. She could only hate herself for being so weak that she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to!
"Hong Zhu, are you sure that Xiao Chen has been captured by the people of the inner martial world?" Xie Fei did not get up and confirmed with Hong Zhu again.
Although Xie Fei was also very worried about Xiao Chen's safety, she was after all a person who had experienced great storms and waves. Her mental fortitude was relatively strong, and she would not easily reveal her emotions. She was also a bit more steady when faced with a problem.
"I can't be a hundred percent sure right now, but my Hong Ying Group has found out an absolutely reliable piece of information. It says that Xiao Chen's father has certainly been controlled by some powerful forces of the inner martial world." Hong Zhu shook his head and said in a low voice, "So, even if Xiao Chen hasn't been captured, he should be in the inner martial world right now, making preparations to rescue his father."
"Alright, there's no time to lose, let's set off immediately! Before the sacrificial ceremony begins, we must find Xiao Chen and bring him back safely! "Xie Fei immediately got up and walked out of the room with a solemn expression.
"Hey … where are you going?" Hong Zhu was startled and subconsciously asked.
"You guys sit here for a while, I'm going back to my room to tidy up some things," Xie Fei said without looking back and left the room.
Hong Zhu and Li Xianer exchanged glances, both of them unable to understand the situation. However, all they could do now was wait.
Li Xian 'er pressed the frightened Kerr Lin onto the sofa and comforted her softly, "Kerr Lin, don't worry too much. That Xiao Chen … is quite capable. He'll definitely be fine."
"Eh? You know him too? " As if he had discovered a new continent, Hong Zhu looked at Li Xianer in astonishment and asked, "When did this happen? How come I never heard about it?"
"Erm … I received a business deal in Lan City and met him there, but we didn't have much interaction!" Li Xian 'er panicked and quickly explained, afraid that Kerr Lin would misunderstand something.
Kerr Lin, on the other hand, did not have the time to think too much about it. Instead, she pulled Hong Zhu's hand, her expression turning from timid to resolute as she softly said, "Elder sister Hong Zhu, I want to cultivate, I want to become stronger! I don't want to be protected by others anymore. I also want to protect the people I want to protect! "
Hong Zhu naturally understood the source of Kerr Lin's change. He patted her shoulder and was about to speak when they suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the door, "What are you talking about? Let's go! "
The three of them simultaneously turned their heads to look and saw that Xie Fei had already changed into a well-tailored set of clothes suitable for movement. She was carrying a small suitcase in her hand and looked like she was ready to leave.
"You … you've already packed?" Hong Zhu asked in disbelief as he looked at Xie Fei's attire.
Xie Fei suddenly becoming so capable and experienced really surprised Hong Zhu. He did not expect that this Eldest Young Mistress, who usually played cards and walked her dog in a leisurely manner, would have already decided to head for the inner martial arts world in less than ten minutes. Moreover, she had already packed her things!
Most importantly, her goal was not to participate in the sacrificial ceremony! Heavens! How could Xiao Chen have such charisma that he could captivate Xie Fei, who had always had her eyes on the top of her head, to the point that she was willing to risk her life for him? This … this was simply too inconceivable!
In fact, Hong Zhu did not understand that apart from the fact that she really liked Xiao Chen, Xie Fei was also willing to risk her life because of the various things Xiao Chen had done for the Xie family in the past. This could also be considered as returning the favor on behalf of the Xie family.
Although the Xie family had already given Xiao Chen a generous monetary reward, Xie Fei felt that money alone was far from enough. With Xiao Chen's weak strength at the time, he had helped the Xie family clear away such a big trouble. She must do something more for Xiao Chen!
Xie Fei believed that even if the head of the Xie family, Xie Chaonan, knew of her thoughts, he would certainly support her in doing so!
"Well, I'm done packing. If there's nothing else, let's go straight away!" Xie Fei smiled sweetly and led the three women to the villa's gate. Then, she tightly locked the entire villa.
Hong Zhu naturally agreed to Xie Fei's suggestion. Since she was willing to follow him to the Hong family, then his mission in Songning City had come to an end.
After all, there were no more spiritual women in Songning City. Hong Zhu felt that there was no need to stay any longer. The time for the Immortal Cultivation World's sacrificial ceremony was approaching. He had to bring the women back to report on his mission as soon as possible.
While Hong Zhu and his party left Songning City for the inner martial arts world, on the other side, the Venerable Secret Realm finally opened as scheduled!
Early in the morning, experts from various sects had already gathered outside the teleportation array leading to the Venerable Secret Realm.
Although there were many people, it was not disorderly. This was because the Venerable Secret Realm Alliance had already divided the different sects' areas in advance. All the experts needed to do was to stand in their own areas and wait quietly for the Venerable Secret Realm to open.
Not far in front of the crowd stood a tall platform with a row of neatly arranged seats. At this time, many of the higher-ups from various sects had already taken their seats. The higher-ups of the sects who were familiar with each other smiled and exchanged greetings with each other.
Below the platform, the elites of the sects were also discussing how to quickly break through and become Venerable experts after entering the Venerable Secret Realm!
After a while, all the cultivators who were participating in the Venerable Secret Realm had arrived. The seats on the platform were also full. Only the main seat in the middle was empty. It seemed to be the seat reserved for the president of the Venerable Secret Realm Alliance.
Xiao Chen stood among the Jia Family's group with his arms crossed. He looked relaxed and at ease on the surface, but he secretly spread out his divine sense and gradually extended it in all directions. He wanted to investigate the surrounding situation.
After a round of investigation with his divine sense, Xiao Chen discovered that apart from the Awakening Heaven Sect and the other two clans, there were a few relatively familiar faces. He did not recognize any of the other groups.
Xiao Chen also paid special attention to the Cloudguide Sect. He discovered that Grandma Nanshan was not participating either. Instead, an unfamiliar old man was leading the group. Ling 'er, who had originally been full of anticipation, now had a disappointed look on her face. She quietly hid behind Xiao Chen, not letting the people of the Cloudguide Sect discover her.
