After the Xuanyuan Family's threat, the three great clans in the northern region of the Central Plains — the Zheng, Wang, and Chen Clans — finally sent out their armies. They each sent ten thousand experts to cooperate with Xuanyuan Boyu to fight against the demons.
The Zheng, Wang, and Chen Clans were located in the northern region of the Central Plains where the Xuanyuan Family was located. They were very wary of the Xuanyuan Family and had submitted to the Xuanyuan Family on the surface. Now that the Xuanyuan Family had sent out such a threat, they naturally couldn't remain calm and had no choice but to send out their armies.
With the three great clans' participation, the pressure on the Xuanyuan Family decreased. After all, the Xuanyuan Family's military strength was limited, and fighting against so many demons was somewhat exhausting.
The Xuanyuan Family was under a lot of pressure. Aside from the Demonic Hall, the main reason was because of Xuanyuan Hongyun's treatment.
Xuanyuan Feihong secretly sent people to invite almost all the Alchemy Saints in the Central Plains, but none of them could do anything.
Seeing Xuanyuan Hongyun's condition worsening, Xuanyuan Feihong's heart sank. He was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
Xuanyuan Yuxin saw her beloved grandfather suffer like this, and her heart ached. She would cry every day, and her beautiful eyes would turn into rabbit eyes, making people feel pity for her.
Other than her grandfather, Xuanyuan Yuxin also felt sorry for another person — Xiao Chen. As the daughter of the Xuanyuan Family, how could Xuanyuan Yuxin not know about Xiao Chen's shocking deeds in the Black Sky Prefecture?
Xuanyuan Yuxin was furious that Xiao Chen was being chased by the experts of the three great clans and the Zhangsun Clan. She had requested her father and uncle, Xuanyuan Boyu, to rescue Xiao Chen several times, but they were all rejected.
Now that Xuanyuan Hongyun was in trouble, they were having a headache dealing with their family matters, and they still had to fight the Demon Hall, how could Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu be in the mood to care about Xiao Chen's life?
Besides, even if nothing had happened to Xuanyuan Hongyun, even if the incident with the Devil Hall hadn't happened, the Xuanyuan Family might not have offended Li Zhouwu and the Changsun Clan for Xiao Chen, especially the Changsun Clan.
After all, if the two great families went to war, the impact would be no small matter. It would still cause a great disturbance in the entire Central Prefecture, unless the Xuanyuan Family was willing to sacrifice everything for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's glorious achievements shocked Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu, especially Xuanyuan Boyu, who had seen Xiao Chen once. He even regretted not bringing Xiao Chen back to the Xuanyuan Family.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Now that Xiao Chen had entered the Cloud Mist Forest, his death was almost certain. Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu felt it was a pity, but they ignored him.
Xuanyuan Yuxin, who was in love with Xiao Chen, was inconsolable. She wanted to go to the Cloud Mist Forest to take a look, hoping that Xiao Chen would be able to walk out of it alive. However, she was worried about her grandfather, so she felt terrible.
Xuanyuan Feihong could tell that his daughter had feelings for Xiao Chen. He sighed inwardly and ordered the experts protecting Xuanyuan Yuxin to not allow Xuanyuan Yuxin to take a step out of the Xuanyuan Family.
Xuanyuan Feihong presided over the Xuanyuan King's Mansion. He sent out a large number of people to search for the legendary divine herbs and immortal medicines in the Central Prefecture. This was because the Alchemy Sages speculated that only the legendary divine herbs and immortal medicines could cure the poison of the void beasts.
However, divine herbs and immortal medicines were existences of legends. No one in the world had ever seen one. Wanting to find one was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. No, it was almost impossible.
The only places that could find divine herbs and immortal medicines were the Ten Great Forbidden Lands of the Central Prefecture. However, no one in the world could walk out of the Four Great Forbidden Lands alive, not even Heavenly Gods.
The possibility of finding divine herbs and immortal medicines was almost zero. Xuanyuan Hongyun's condition was worsening. It would be a miracle if he could last two to three months, and he could die at any time.
Therefore, the Xuanyuan Family was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. They were faced with internal and external troubles. Whether they could survive this crisis depended on their luck.
…
Black Heaven Prefecture, Cloud Mist Forest.
The Cloud Mist Forest was the same as usual. It was still shrouded in thick clouds. Even powerful cultivators couldn't see what was going on inside.
Anything, including the divine sense of a cultivator, would be sucked into the Cloud Mist Forest. This showed how terrifying and strange the Cloud Mist Forest was.
Ten days ago, the heavily injured Xiao Chen was sucked into the Cloud Mist Forest. Logically speaking, he should have died. However, Xiao Chen had always been a person who could create miracles. Maybe he was still alive.
In fact, the inside of the Cloud Mist Forest wasn't filled with thick clouds like it looked from the outside. On the contrary, the clouds were thinner. However, it was very dark inside, just like the night.
Moreover, the inside of the Cloud Mist Forest gave off a gloomy and terrifying feeling. It was like walking in a ghost forest. There were many skeletons of humans, wild beasts, and demonic beasts on the ground. The huge forest was filled with an aura of death.
These human and beast skeletons were obviously sucked into the Cloud Mist Forest. Then, they died for some unknown reason. After their bodies decayed, they turned into skeletons.
The strange thing was that there weren't any living beasts or beasts in the Cloud Mist Forest. Could it be that animals couldn't survive in the forest? If this was true, then what the hell killed the humans and beasts?
In a depression a few hundred feet away from where Xiao Chen fell into the Cloud Mist Forest, a strange man with dragon scales on his body was lying quietly.
The man was unconscious and didn't seem to have any injuries on his body. Next to the man was a huge blood-red sword with a blue heart. Needless to say, this man must be Xiao Chen and the Fengsha Sword.
Xiao Chen was still breathing. The injuries on his body healed automatically. Obviously, he didn't die and didn't meet with any harm in the Cloud Mist Forest.
Was this the so-called Cloud Mist Forest of the Ten Forbidden Areas? Could it be that it didn't live up to its reputation?
It shouldn't be possible.
Since the Cloud Mist Forest was known as a forbidden area by the warriors of the Central State, it must be an extremely dangerous place. Maybe it was just luck that Xiao Chen didn't die yet. In the end, he wouldn't be able to escape death.
There were so many human and beast skeletons in the Cloud Mist Forest and not a single living creature. This was enough to prove that the Cloud Mist Forest wasn't a good place. It was an extremely dangerous place. As for why it was dangerous, it was still unknown.
Perhaps, they would have to wait for Xiao Chen to wake up and then let Xiao Chen explore it. Only then would they be able to discover the dangerous secrets of the Cloud Mist Forest.
According to the time, Xiao Chen had been unconscious for a full twelve days. His injuries had completely recovered with the help of the blood's healing power and his body's recovery power. Even his dislocated right hand was healed.
It had to be said that Xiao Chen's body was very abnormal. As long as the enemy didn't kill him instantly, he would be able to survive tenaciously.
However.
Since Xiao Chen's injuries had healed, he should have woken up a long time ago. Right now, he seemed to be sleeping very soundly. This didn't make sense. He wasn't the kind of person who would randomly find a place to sleep like a dead pig.
If Xiao Chen was such a brainless and careless person, he would have long been eaten by the demonic beasts in the Great Wilderness. How could he still be alive now?
