Chen Xiao was standing there when someone searched the area nearby. When he saw them, he came over to say hello.

The people who came were young men from Ali Village. They had been ordered to stay on standby at the periphery during the war. When the disaster cloud appeared, they stayed away from it and were not hurt.

The village chief who was observing the situation closely was unlucky as his throat was burned by the fire and he would not be able to make any sound for a while.

In this catastrophe, the only thing that made Chen Xiao feel better was that Sariam was fine.

If anything happened to Saliam when Tang Ru's life or death was unknown, Chen Xiao would be devastated.

Afterwards, he found out that in addition to Tong Nuonuo, Sariam was also among those who shouted Tang Ru with him at the most critical moment.

After Chen Xiao responded, the young man from Ali Village lowered his head and continued searching. Seeing his serious and careful look, Chen Xiao felt complicated and heavy in his heart.

The people of Ali Village were searching for Tang Ru's name certificate among the ashes.

The immortal cultivator's certificate is made of special materials. If there is anything that can remain intact in the fire, it is the certificate.

He knew very well why the people from Zhishitang were so active and so eager to organize people to come and search.

Searching for the names of the victims was only a superficial reason; the real reason hidden beneath it was actually to look for the Poison Spirit Pearl!

All those who managed to survive were certain that Tang Ru would be buried together with Wu Xuzi.

But a treasure like the Poison Spirit Pearl is not so fragile. Even if it is unlucky and is hit head-on by lightning, it is still a rare treasure even in a damaged state.

Chen Xiao was too lazy to be angry at Zhi Shitang's utilitarian mentality. No matter what the purpose was, as long as it helped to find Tang Ru, he would not care.

"Shall we go and talk to Sariam?" Chen Xiao asked for the opinions of other companions.

The young men from Alizhai are here, and Sariam must have come too.

The other three naturally would not object, so the four of them asked the people in Alizhai and found Sariam.

Sariam looked a little haggard, and her bright clothes were dirty by the ashes, but she didn't care at all.

Seeing them, she forced a smile: "You guys are here too?"

Chen Xiao asked in a deep voice: "Any news?"

Sariam looked into the distance and said, "We have found some names, including those of the practitioners in Yanxia Cliff and those who were missing in Youyan Cliff." Her tone was full of emotion.

No one expected that a journey that started with searching for someone would end in such an unacceptable way.

After hearing this, Chen Xiao fell silent.

Too many people died this time. It can be said that the Elder Council and the elite disciples of each sect were wiped out, severely damaged.

The inheritance of Yanxia Cliff's sect will not be restored without one or two hundred years.

Seeing that the atmosphere was really depressing, Tong Nuonuo said, "I heard that after searching all the names, a collective funeral will be held. Zhishitang has specially allocated an area to build a cemetery for these people."

Chen Xiao was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard of it.

Jing Hui stood aside with his hands behind his back and said, "Zhishitang did a pretty good job on this matter. With the official sponsoring the funeral, the Yanxia Cliff sect should be able to bounce back soon. The deceased is gone, so it is right to stop indulging in grief and work hard to make progress."

Tong Nuonuo nodded: "The person who told me about this also said so. However, only those whose name certificates are found will be buried at the funeral. Those who are not found will be listed as missing."

They stood together and talked, which made them quite conspicuous. Some people who passed by would rather take a detour than get close to them.

Chen Xiao noticed that this was not directed at them, but at Sariam.

He turned around and whispered to Xi Yunting, "Can you cast a spell so that no one can hear us talking?"

Xi Yunting didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and made a spell, "No one else can hear it now."

The golden veil he used could not only see that there were people here, but it could not detect any sounds or even sense their breath.

Chen Xiao said to Sariam, "I think most people in Yanxia Cliff will not be able to get rid of their grudges against Ah Rou anytime soon. Once we find her, we must not let her show up in front of everyone."

Xi Yunting said: "Although the culprit Wu Xuzi is dead, the hatred of the injured and deceased relatives and friends towards Ah Rou who helped them is not so easy to resolve. What's worse is that this group of people occupies half of the Yanxia Cliff's cultivation world."

Sariam nodded solemnly, "I understand. Not only Ah Rou, but also the disciples in Ali Village will not be allowed to go to Yanxia Cliff unless necessary. In order to avoid being sought after by unwise people, I will also restrict the young people in the village to stay dormant for a hundred years and not let them go out for training." She shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid there will be no more outstanding disciples than Ah Rou in my village, so it doesn't matter whether they are restricted or not."

After saying this, Sariam lowered his eyes sadly.

She is already seven hundred years old, and it is unknown whether she can train someone to take over the protection of Ali Village before she dies.

If there is no successor, Alizhai will probably gradually decline after many years and become an ordinary village.

Chen Xiao could see what Sariam was worried about, but he couldn't comfort her against his will.

He had seen the environment of Ali Village. Although it was not a Feng Shui treasure land, it was often sunny and rainy, and there were no natural disasters or wars. It was also a good place to live.

However, considering that only one immortal cultivator above the foundation-building stage is born every five hundred years, it is not a place that is conducive to cultivating immortals.

Xi Yunting said at this time: "This funeral is actually an opportunity. If we can take this opportunity to bury Fellow Daoist Tang's identity, the hatred focused on her will also dissipate. It won't take a hundred years to lie dormant. In twenty or thirty years, people will forget about this matter, and the disciples of Ali Village will be able to come out and walk around normally."

Jing Hui thought about it and agreed, "This is a good idea. Otherwise, if the disciples don't go out to practice, they will basically be useless."

Sariam had no better idea, so he could only try his luck.

Several people agreed and devoted themselves to searching the ruins.

The most representative of a buried identity is the name certificate. At this time, everyone is anxious to find the name certificate, but also afraid to find it.

In such a conflicting mood, Tong Nuonuo gave up after searching for two days.

The ruins are very large. Although the vegetation has been burned, the terrain has not changed and it is still a stepped cliff.

The carpet search could only be done by walking on the ground step by step. After a while, Tong Nuonuo was confused by the complex terrain. Not to mention finding things, he only spent his time determining whether he had searched this place before.

Chen Xiao did not object to Tong Nuonuo's initiative to return to Yanxia Cliff to find out more information.

After the last time Tong Nuonuo went to the black market alone, Chen Xiao was no longer so worried that he would get lost and not be able to come back.

After waving goodbye to his companions, Tong Nuonuo turned around and followed a returning couple back to Yanxia Cliff.

He was not wandering around aimlessly, but headed straight for the black market.

Well, ignoring the twists and turns in the middle, in the end Tong Nuonuo successfully sent herself to the entrance of the black market.

He did not deliberately look for the pub he had been to last time, but instead went into any shop he could find and asked if they did intelligence business.

This time he came to inquire about Li Muye's whereabouts.

Ever since they last parted ways in the mountains behind the Weeping Cliff, he hadn't seen Li Muye again.

Li Muye suddenly appeared every time they met, and Tong Nuonuo had no idea where he lived.

Of course, he didn't care about Li Muye's life or death.

Instead, he wanted to find Li Muye to confirm whether he had seen what happened to Ah Rou in the end.

He is so cunning and treacherous, and good at hiding, he will definitely find a safe place to watch the fight!

This time he did not cover up, but showed his face, deliberately drawing attention to the fact that he was looking for Li Muye.

After a round of wandering and leaving enough of an impact, Tong Nuonuo left the black market while it was still daylight.

On the way back, we had directional guides who stayed at the inn to give us directions, so the journey went smoothly.

Perhaps his intention was too obvious, he was almost shouting to the whole world that he was looking for Li Muye, it was hard for people not to understand his intention, and someone visited his room that night.

When Li Muye's shadow was cast on the window, Tong Nuonuo turned on the light.

He stared at the other person who climbed in through the window calmly, and said unhappily: "Only thieves go through windows."

Li Muye raised the corner of his lips and said slowly: "I just came in in a way that suits your style of doing things."

Tong Nuonuo immediately raised his eyebrows and said indignantly: "You are the villain!"

Li Muye turned around and sat on the chair: "If you consider yourself a scoundrel, I have no objection. But what I just pointed out is that you acted recklessly, and you climbed through the window just because it was convenient."

Tong Nuonuo paused. He certainly knew how reckless his behavior during the day was and how bad the impact it had on Li Muye was.

This almost made him passively exposed to the eyes of the black market people, and all his previous low-key efforts were in vain.

However, Tong Nuonuo didn't care whether Li Muye would be dissatisfied or troubled by this. He just couldn't stand his cunning and sneaky style!

But since he was the one who did it, Tong Nuonuo couldn't make excuses to the victim.

He didn't say anything. Li Muye picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup.

"Tell me, why did you come to me with such fanfare? What's the matter?" He took a sip of tea slowly and glanced at Tong Nuonuo, "I remember that the cooperation we agreed on has ended."

Tong Nuonuo pursed her lips and said with gritted teeth: "I'm looking for you for an important matter. When Wu Xuzi died, did you see my friend?"

Li Muye looked at Tong Nuonuo with interest: "Why should I tell you?"

Tong Nuonuo took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry. He tried to stay calm and said, "After the thunder went out of control, the fire made the situation unclear, and the whereabouts of my friend were unknown. But if there is anyone in this world who knows, I think that person must be you!" After a pause, he saw that Li Muye didn't say anything, and then said, "Because I think you must have been nearby observing the situation. Your client died at the hands of Wu Xuzi, and you couldn't be willing to leave without doing anything. And if I want to know the whereabouts of my friend, I have no choice but to look for you."

Tong Nuonuo has racked his brains to flatter Li Muye. If Li Muye still refuses to speak, he will have no choice but to put aside his dignity and beg him.

Li Muye held the teacup to his lips. After a while, he put it down and looked at Tong Nuonuo with an incredible look.

"If I didn't know you didn't have that much ability, I would have thought you had a pair of eyes on me."
