After the matter was settled, the few of them swept away the haze in their hearts for the past few days. They chatted and laughed as they walked towards the kitchen, leaving a string of cheerful laughter in the Burning Sky Faction.
That night, Xiao Chen still stayed in the Burning Sky Faction, patiently consolidating his cultivation that had just reached the half-step Mountain Opening Stage. He originally wanted to continue working hard and break through to the first level of the Mountain Opening Stage, but after repeated attempts, he still couldn't find the way, and could only helplessly choose to give up.
In fact, the most important thing was not that Xiao Chen didn't know how to cultivate, but that Hong Zhu was constantly harassing him, teasing and teasing him from time to time. Now that the two of them had broken through that layer of window paper, and their relationship had also taken a step further, Hong Zhu also became even more unscrupulous. His words and actions made Xiao Chen's mind swayed, and his heart rippled incessantly.
Since he couldn't make a breakthrough in a short time, Xiao Chen simply stopped cultivating. He hugged Hong Zhu and rolled on the bed a few times, before the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu packed their luggage, and after a simple farewell to the group of people in the Burning Sky Faction, they stepped onto their flying swords outside the sect. Under the gazes of Gong Shaoxi, Duan Suqing, and the others, they carried Elder Nangong and left on their flying swords, flying towards the location of the mysterious Young Master.
The few of them flew according to the direction pointed by Elder Nangong for about an hour, traversing over towering mountains and lofty ridges along the way, passing through large stretches of primordial forests, and occasionally hearing Elder Nangong's fearful cries along the way. Finally, before the sun rose, they arrived at the outskirts of a prosperous town.
"Hey! Old man, don't make a ruckus! Don't you realize that your legs can already step on the ground? " Hong Zhu angrily kicked Elder Nangong, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I couldn't tell that a dignified sect elder like you, who was once an expert at the peak of the Profound Ascension Stage, would actually be afraid of taking a plane. You're too useless!"
Along the way, Hong Zhu's ears were almost deafened. Good heavens, an unprepossessing old man could continuously howl for an entire hour, and his voice wasn't hoarse at all. Could it be that he had practiced before? A bel canto singer?
"Miss … Miss Hong Zhu, please don't joke with this old man!" Elder Nangong's face was deathly pale, and his legs were trembling like a sieve. After persevering for a while, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. His legs went soft, and he fell to the ground on his butt. Thinking back to the experience in the sky, he still felt a lingering fear.
"When was I joking with you?" Hong Zhu angrily glared at him and said with a huff, "What Elder of the second largest sect? I think he's just an old man who's afraid of heights and gets airsick! How annoying! "
Elder Nangong's face was bitter. He trembled and said with a sobbing tone, "I … Although I used to be in the Mysterious Ascension Stage, I'm just an ordinary person now. If … If Immortal Xiao accidentally let me fall from the sky, wouldn't I be smashed into pieces? That would be an ugly death! "
"Why are you talking so much?" Xiao Chen impatiently grabbed Elder Nangong's collar and pointed to a nearby town. "Where is that Young Master hiding? And what is this place? You better tell me the truth right now. Otherwise, this Immortal doesn't mind letting you fly again. But this time, I can't guarantee that I won't be in the mood to catch you! "
"Don't, don't, don't. I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now!" Elder Nangong's face changed. He hurriedly pointed to the town and said, "Young Master lives in one of the houses in Yao Xian County. This old man will bring you there right now!"
It was precisely because of these few confrontations that Elder Nangong was very clear that Xiao Qiang was definitely a person who would do what he said. Therefore, he didn't dare to delay or be negligent. He hurriedly forced himself to stand up straight and limped towards the town.
Actually, after being detained in the prison yesterday, Elder Nangong originally wanted to use a Sound Transmitting Talisman to inform the Young Master in advance. However, he didn't expect that the Burning Sky Sect disciple who detained him would actually search his body and confiscate all his valuables, including the entire bag of Sound Transmitting Talismans!
Feeling helpless, Elder Nangong could only give up on this plan. Right now, he could only take one step at a time and hope that the Young Master could come up with a suitable and foolproof plan!
Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu looked at each other before holding hands and carefully following behind Elder Nangong. They maintained a distance that wasn't too far away from him. This way, they wouldn't appear to be deliberate and would ensure that they would be able to capture this fellow in an instant.
In order to prevent this old thing from playing any more tricks, Xiao Chen's mind was tense and he was ready to act at any time. Even if he discovered that something was wrong, he was confident that he would be able to escape with Hong Zhu.
However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that Elder Nangong's mood was extremely calm on the way into the city. He didn't make any strange movements and only walked in front of them obediently, as if he had truly accepted his fate.
However, the calmer and quieter this fellow was, the stronger the strange feeling in Xiao Chen's heart became. After entering Yao Xian Province, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before quietly assigning Hong Zhu a task. He told her to find an inn to stay in and that he would pick her up after he finished his business on his side.
Although Hong Zhu was somewhat unwilling, she also knew that her strength wasn't enough to help Xiao Chen and would instead be a burden to him. Thus, she didn't say anything and quickly found an inn that looked more proper to stay in. She then watched as Xiao Chen followed Elder Nangong further and further away, gradually disappearing without a trace.
The moment Xiao Chen's group stepped through the gates of Yao Xian Province, the Young Master was resting in his own courtyard.
The Young Master crossed his legs and frowned slightly. His expression was somewhat solemn. Ever since he had contacted Elder Nangong, he had been trying to find other information about Xiao Chen.
However, regardless of whether it was the information from Elder Shen or the information he found through other channels, there was nothing about Xiao Chen at all. The young master could not help but feel defeated by this situation.
More importantly, he suddenly realized that Elder Nangong hadn't contacted him for several days. This was something that had never happened before!
Deeply worried, the Young Master directly tried to contact Elder Nangong through a voice transmission glyph. However, there was no reply either!
This time, the Young Master's mood sank even further. According to his judgment of Xiao Chen and Elder Nangong, it was very likely that the unkillable "Xiao Qiang" had returned to cause trouble for Elder Nangong and had successfully counterattacked!
