Swish! Swish!

Two beams of light flashed and disappeared, revealing two figures above the array.

A man and a woman, it was Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen instinctively lowered his head to look, the light of the teleportation formation was gradually dimming, those familiar runes also tended towards concealment.

The style of this teleportation formation seems connected to that super-large teleportation formation beneath the Transmitting Truth Hall.

In other words, he had arrived at Cangwu Mountain!

A slight sound of footsteps arose, and Qing Shuang had already descended from the platform of the array.

Looking back, Qing Shuang once again affirmed Luo Chen's body refinement realm.

Years ago, when Luo Chen escaped, he used her Cyan Simurgh Feather, so he could withstand the spatial pressure of long-distance teleportation.

Yet this time, even without her care, and without equipping a teleportation token, Luo Chen felt no discomfort.

This performance, besides herself and her sister, no third person in Cangwu Mountain.

Youquan valued him back then, seemed to have some insight indeed.

"Let's go, head to the Transmitting Truth Hall first."

Luo Chen gave up researching the teleportation array and followed her out.

"Isn't the Yuan Jun meant to meet me?"

The woman's calm reply echoed within the thick walls of the upward tunnel.

"She wants to see you, but when she does depends on her mood."

"Hmm? What does this mean? Forcing me here but not meeting me?"

"To say forced, it's just incidental. The visit to the Medicine King Realm, I was going there for the Jikong Flower. Pity the flower wasn't mature, but upon seeing you, I brought you over."

"Such an invitation..."

The man's words carried laughter, with a nuance of self-mockery.

The woman seemed oblivious, as if entirely unconcerned with the irony beyond the self-mockery. To her, bringing someone back to Cangwu Mountain was often simply a matter of capturing them with a sleeve. Luo Chen today walked alongside her, clear-minded, indeed making it seem like an "invitation".

"I don't understand, if not for that encounter, how would the Yuan Jun intend to see me? Perhaps you don't know, but according to plan, I'm soon heading to the Dark Abyss Sect to cultivate."

"Dark Abyss?"

Qing Shuang mused over the name, her tone momentarily paused.

But only briefly, she naturally stated, "In this world, if my sister wants to see you, not to mention Dark Abyss, even Tian Yuan can't stop her."

Luo Chen fell silent.

He certainly perceived the message of Qing Shuang's utmost confidence in Qi Xia Yuan Jun's strength, down to her bones.

Yet if reckoning by hearsay, Qi Xia's rise was within merely a millennium, amongst Eastern Wasteland's top Demon Clan powerhouses, was considered relatively recent.

At such age, how can she be significant enough?

How could she regard a sanctuary with three Divine Transformation Great Powers as an empty realm?

Yet according to the intelligence Luo Chen inferred from the Land of Fallen Demons, if this Qi Xia is that Qi Xia, then everything seems to make sense.

Wait?

Land of Fallen Demons!

Luo Chen shuddered, he vaguely guessed what Qi Xia Yuan Jun wanted.

"Go to the Transmitting Truth Hall to wait for some time, my Zhukong Hall does not keep guests. Over there, you should be familiar."

"Indeed familiar, haha."

After emerging from the underground teleportation array, Luo Chen walked into the main body of Zhukong Hall.

The vast palace, coldly quiet, lonely to the point that even the footsteps of the two could be heard distinctly.

Upon reaching the entrance, Qing Shuang flared her sleeve.

Cre~ak!

The bronze door slowly opened.

Outside the hall, someone had long been waiting.

"Hall Master!" A plump beautiful woman gracefully saluted.

"Hmm."

Qing Shuang responded, and after Luo Chen left, she waved her sleeve, and the door of Zhukong Hall slammed shut.

This scene seemed like dismissing guests.

"Don't mind, she's always been like this."

Luo Chen turned around, looking at the familiar woman, and nodded.

He Qingzi carefully examined Luo Chen.

With a face like carved jade, a calm demeanor, even amidst danger, he showed no signs of panic.

Despite looking slightly pale due to excessive Qi Power depletion, the majestic demeanor of a grandmaster remained evident inadvertently.

He Qingzi's eyes brightened.

"Luo Chen, after over a hundred years apart, didn't expect you to have grown so powerful!"

Luo Chen pulled at the corner of his mouth, "Friend, haven't you also made great progress, crossing the early Nascent Soul Stage?"

He Qingzi smoothed her hair, laughing, "Cangwu Mountain is the Yu Race Sacred Land, and most suitable for our feathered species to cultivate, progressing this much is reasonable. But you..."

She properly stopped talking.

Because during their idle chat, they had reached the edge of the White Jade Square before Zhukong Hall.

Standing at a mountain cliff without a path, the man gazed at the misty, bird-circling mountain wonders, revealing a sense of nostalgia.

He was back again.

The same sentiment he felt upon returning to the Eastern Wasteland, similar to this.

But that time, carrying the spirit of advancing to Nascent Soul, prevailing over Daoist Sect talents, and correcting Luotian's precarious situation, he returned seemingly with honor.

Yet this time, reality was starkly cold and bare.

Qing Shuang's so-called invitation was relatively courteous.

But Luo Chen realized, if he did not agree to that "invitation", the consequence would be the collapse of his Nascent Soul and degradation of Dao Cultivation.

Looking at the familiar scene, Luo Chen felt deeply conflicted.

"Let's go!"

"Certainly, heading that way, Qing Shuang Palace Lord prepared a Cave Mansion for you. There the Spirit Qi is exceedingly abundant, the best place aside from the Hall Master's Cave Mansion in the Transmitting Truth Hall. Even comparable to Vice Hall Master Youquan's Cave Mansion."

He Qingzi behaved warmly, introducing thoroughly to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised, Qing Shuang had quietly arranged such a good Cave Mansion for him?

Was it because she recognized his Qi Power deficiency and poor state?
