After the Holy Daughter left, Chu Xiang led Xiao Chen to meet Old Cui.
"Xiao Chen!"
When Old Cui saw Xiao Chen, he walked over with a wide smile. It was clear that he was very excited.
"Congratulations! When you go back, help me ask Old Seven. Tell him that an old friend in Peach Blossom City misses him, "Old Cui said in a somewhat choked voice.
After waiting for his old friend for thirty years, all he got was a cup of old wine.
However, in the end, Xiao Chen still helped Grandpa Seven fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Xiao Chen won the Wine King Contest and even defeated his old rival, Great Master Yuanfei, resolving the knot in his heart.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Definitely."
"Keep this well. The City Lord and I chose it for you. The City Lord likes your Heart Burn a lot."
Old Cui took out a brocade box and solemnly handed it to Xiao Chen.
"What is it?"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to open the box, Old Cui pressed down on his hand and smiled. "There's no rush to open it. Open it when you go back. Also, help me give this Heavenly Origin Pill to Old Seven."
The Heavenly Origin Pill was used by cultivators to extend their lifespans when they were nearing the end.
It was a Rank 5 Heaven Ranked Medicinal Pill, something worth cities.
Xiao Chen felt slightly startled. It looked like Old Cui and Grandpa Seven had a deep friendship. Old Cui even gave such a precious Medicinal Pill to Xiao Chen.
"Haha! I won't stay any longer. I still have to help you deliver the collections of the others."
After chatting for a while, Old Cui performed a cupped-fist salute and took his leave to deliver the collections of the other winners of the Wine King Contest.
"Senior Cui, please wait!"
Just as Old Cui was about to leave, Chu Xiang called out to him, sending a voice projection. Old Cui's expression immediately changed drastically.
To think that there is such a thing. To think that someone dares to barge into the Heavenly Fragrance's residence in Peach Blossom City. He is simply lawless. Don't worry. I will do as Miss Chu said. "
Old Cui left in a rush with a somewhat angry expression. However, this left Xiao Chen somewhat confused.
"Chu Xiang, what did you say to Senior Cui?"
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Since Senior Sister said that, the person from last night must be a cultivator who participated in the Wine King Contest during the day. Just nice, we can let Cui Lao test the waters and see who's injured, who doesn't dare to appear, and who's worthy of suspicion. "
Xiao Chen said softly, "It's better not to spread this matter."
"Don't worry, I've already instructed Cui Lao to keep this a secret."
Back in his room, Xiao Chen opened the brocade box. Inside was a jade strip and a beast horn.
This …
Xiao Chen picked up the beast horn and examined it. He was shocked to discover that it was the Heart Burn recipe that he had given the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor.
It was only after a long while that he regained his senses.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor truly lived up to his character. He had never thought of taking advantage of Xiao Chen, returning the recipe.
However, it helped him shoulder all the danger.
Everyone knew that Xiao Chen had publicly given the recipe to Peach Blossom City. However, they did not know that he had secretly given it to Xiao Chen.
Going back and forth had saved Xiao Chen a lot of trouble.
As for the other jade slip, Xiao Chen placed it on his forehead, and many cryptic mantras entered his mind.
It was the rare Eye Technique, the Candle Dragon Eyes.
Xiao Chen used his Ice Great Dao Energy and Soul Energy at the same time to imitate the Candle Dragon Eyes. Once he activated it, he could seal his opponent in ice.
It could seal not just the physical body but the soul as well.
This was both an Eye Technique and a Soul Technique. Its offensive power was extremely strong, catching others off guard.
Think about it. In the middle of a battle, the opponent was imprisoned by you.
Even if he could freeze his opponent for only one second, it would be sufficient for Xiao Chen to kill his opponent hundreds of times.
The scarier thing was that even if this Eye Technique broke the ice seal, the Candle Dragon Eyes would keep an eye on the other party, interfering with the other party's Movement Technique and Veritable Essence Energy circulation.
The only flaw of this Eye Technique was that it was somewhat troublesome to execute. It was very hard to execute instantly.
However, this Candle Dragon Eyes was very suitable for Xiao Chen.
It looked like the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor could tell that Xiao Chen had three Great Dao. The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor used the Ice Great Dao less, so he chose this Eye Technique for Xiao Chen to make use of the Ice Great Dao.
With the Dragon Race bloodline, it would be much easier for Xiao Chen to execute this Eye Technique, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
When the sun set, Cui Lao returned to the Heavenly Fragrance's residence and informed Xiao Chen and Chu Xiang of the results of his probing.
"The Heavenly Slaughter Sect's Wang Yun is missing. A Heavenly Slaughter Sect Elder received the items on his behalf. The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Ye Han already left the city. Pei Shaoxuan seems to be injured. He said that something went wrong while he was cultivating. Aside from these three, the others are rather normal and are not suspicious. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he asked, "What about the Profound Heaven's Holy Son, Wenren Yu?"
"This person should be the least suspicious. He took the initiative to stay and chat with me for a long time. I did not notice anything strange," Cui Lao said honestly, not hiding anything.
Chu Xiang said, "It looks like the suspects are Wang Yun, Ye Han, and Pei Shaoxuan. Pei Shaoxuan is the most suspicious. Once something goes wrong in a Demonic Dao sect, the backlash is extremely severe. He should be recuperating in closed-door cultivation. Why would he need to come out personally? "
Xiao Chen remained silent, not saying anything.
Could it be Pei Shaoxuan?
If so, this person is rather horrifying. He appears crazy on the surface, but he is so scheming.
In the following days, Xiao Chen had the Innate Fragrance disciples send Iron Egg back alone. Then, he remained in the Heavenly Fragrance's residence.
During the day, he sparred with Xiao Chen, practicing his Saber Techniques.
At night, he practiced his Eye Technique, the Candle Dragon Eyes. Once he succeeded, this Eye Technique would become a powerful killing move that rivaled the Divine Lightning Eye.
Seven days later, Xiao Chen said goodbye to the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter and left the residence.
Before Xiao Chen left, the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter said, "Young Master Xiao, please take care of yourself. If you need help, you can contact me at any time."
"Many thanks."
Chu Xiang said somewhat reluctantly, "How unfortunate. I do not know when we can meet again after parting with Young Master Xiao this time."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Tell me how to get to the Heavenly Fragrance. I can go and see you."
The location of the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Land had always been a mystery. No one knew.
Even during the previous war between the righteous factions and demonic factions, the Black Dragon King had searched many times but returned empty-handed. Xiao Chen's words were just a form of mockery.
"In your dreams." Chu Xiang covered her mouth as she laughed. Her laughter was as melodious and pleasing as before.
"Goodbye."
"Chu Xiang, help me send Young Master Xiao off."
Chu Xiang sent Xiao Chen out of the Peach Blossom Garden. Then, Xiao Chen grew increasingly smaller in her vision until he vanished. Only then did Chu Xiang sigh and turn to leave.
The return journey was much smoother than Xiao Chen imagined.
The journey was calm and peaceful. Aside from some blind ferocious beasts in the Desolate Sea, there were no other disturbances. There were no surprises or dangers. Seven days later, the azure mountain appeared before Xiao Chen.
The ancient and mysterious azure mountain rose steeply from the ground, enduring thousands of years of worship from the surrounding villages for five thousand kilometers around.
The ancient and mysterious green mountain rose steeply from the ground, enduring the worship of the surrounding villages for thousands of years.
The momentum that was originally rising came to an abrupt halt at the peak of the mountain.
The azure mountain was still there, but where was the dragon's head?!
When Xiao Chen reached the azure mountain, the village would be close. He would be able to rush back before sunset.
The journey was overly peaceful. However, Xiao Chen was not used to it.
Originally, he thought that even if the black figure did not seek trouble for him, the Hound Lion Empire's Crown Prince, Xiahou Wu, and the Heavenly Slaughter Sect's Wang Yun would not let him off so easily.
Along the way, Xiao Chen was very cautious, not daring to be careless.
Who knew, the two did not make a move.
After thinking about it, there was only one possibility: the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter secretly helped him deal with this matter.
Otherwise, given Wang Yun and Xiahou Wu's characters, they would not easily seek trouble for him.
This is good.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the azure mountain.
"Whoosh!"
Gently pushing off with his feet, Xiao Chen's figure moved like lightning, heading for the azure mountain.
This mountain seemed to have a magical power. Every time, it would attract Xiao Chen's attention. After looking at it for a while, he could not help rushing over.
Ten kilometers away from the azure mountain, Xiao Chen stopped.
Xiao Chen recalled the strange encounter when he first touched the azure mountain and the uncontrollable Demonic Qi covering his body when he climbed to the summit.
The more taboo something was, the more it tugged at one's heartstrings.
Xiao Chen considered himself a calm person. However, when facing the taboo mountain, he found it hard to suppress the impulse in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen raised his feet and walked over step by step.
Xiao Chen could cross the distance of ten kilometers in the blink of an eye. However, Xiao Chen walked very slowly.
A strange force field spread around the entire azure mountain. The air was filled with hatred, rage, killing intent, pain, and other negative emotions. Among them, despair was the heaviest.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this should be an out-and-out demonic mountain.
However, Xiao Chen's intuition told him that there was something strange here, hiding a startling secret.
"Don't touch it!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to touch the azure mountain again, someone stretched out a hand from behind and placed it on his shoulder.
