Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
After chatting for a few words, the leader asked them to leave. After all, this was a checkpoint with many people coming and going, and it was not a place to chat.
When they were far away from the leader, the noble-looking evil cultivator stopped, smiled at the three people, and said, "Welcome to Guangji, there are many interesting places here, you can look around." After saying this, he did not stay any longer to pretend to be kind to his subordinates, and shouted at the evil cultivator who led them through the vortex gate, "Be careful in what you do, do you expect me to be there every time?"
The evil cultivator was scolded and apologized repeatedly with sweat all over his forehead. Only then did the nobleman turn around and leave.
The evil cultivator looked at his back, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered: "What did I tell you before? Didn't I ask you to rehearse well?"
Tong Nuonuo knew that it was his fault this time, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake to an evil cultivator, so he had to remain silent.
Li Muye said: "Well, it's not that we didn't pay attention, it's just that we were unlucky to meet someone with bad intentions, and that's why we got into trouble."
The mission of leading them here to the evil cultivator was over. Tong Nuonuo did not plan to stay in the main city of the evil cultivator. The three of them walked outside the city.
When they reached an empty corner, Tong Nuonuo quickly released Xiao Xun. He never forgot his first priority, which was to find Chen Xiao.
It was the first time that Li Muye had seen a humanoid mechanism, and he watched Tong Nuonuo fiddle with it with great interest. Except for his unnatural expression and movements, Xiao Xun was already very close to a real person.
Tang Ru looked at Tong Nonuo with an expectant but not very hopeful expression. Over the years, she and Tong Nonuo had traveled to too many places and had been disappointed too many times.
Xiaoxun’s search results came out quickly, and after feeding back the conclusion to the owner, Tong Nuonuo was first skeptical, and then stunned.
"How is it?" Tang Ru patted Tong Nuonuo a few times to bring him back to his senses.
Tong Nuonuo was happy but also worried. "There is a response, but I'm afraid there's something wrong. I'll check it again carefully."
After searching for so many years, he still couldn't find it, but he found it as soon as he did it. What's more, he found it in the evil realm, so Tong Nuonuo had to be cautious.
Tang Ru was also happy and worried, and urged him repeatedly, "Okay, then hurry up and do it!"
After carefully examining Xiaoxun and confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, Tong Nuonuo was convinced that the conclusion she reached was correct. She excitedly bent over and hugged Tang Ru: "Found it! Xiaoxiao is right here!"
"Really? Great!" Tang Ru jumped up and down and asked, "Which direction?"
"Over there!" Tong Nuonuo pointed in a direction without hesitation.
Tang Ru couldn't wait any longer, he shook off Tong Nuonuo's arm and ran in that direction, "Let's go find him!"
Tong Nuonuo was also eager to see his long-lost friend. He even thought that the reason he had no news of Xiaoxiao for so many years was because she was trapped in Guangji and couldn't go back, and was now waiting for them to rescue her.
"Wait a minute!" Li Muye raised his hand and grabbed Tong Nuonuo who was running past him.
"What are you doing?" Tong Nuonuo turned around and glared at him.
Li Muye ignored his angry look and said, "You two are impatient! You don't even know where that place is or how many evil cultivators there are, yet you just run there blindly. Do you want to die in Guangji? You still think you are in Luochen and there is no danger no matter how you run? Being so impulsive in the evil realm will kill you sooner or later!"
Li Muye's tone was more severe than ever before. After this period of intensive rehearsals, Tong Nuonuo no longer felt repulsed by him and could now listen to what he said.
Not only Tong Nuonuo took Li Muye's words to heart, but Tang Ru also took them to heart. She walked back and said ashamedly, "Master Li is right. When we were still in Feiyan City, I told Tong Nuonuo to be careful and cautious in Guangji. I didn't expect that I was the first one to forget this."
Li Muye sighed, "I know you are excited to have found Chen Xiao, but you must not lose your composure."
Tang Ru nodded seriously: "I'm grateful for your advice."
Tong Nuonuo was not so excited at this moment, but her mind was still in excitement, and she was too blank to think of anything, "Then what should we do?"
Li Muye was very pleased with the "we" part. He said, "You guys find a place to hide. I'll go ask around."
It didn't take too long, Li Muye came back in just half a day.
He said: "That direction should be Chongshan Immortal Palace. It is said that a large number of Taoists gathered in a place called Huanggu Town on the way. I think Chen Xiao is likely to meet up with other Taoists, so there will be no problem with his safety."
Tong Nuonuo said: "Then let's go to Huanggu Town!"
Li Muye shook his head and said, "The opening of Chongshan Immortal Palace is approaching. By the time we reach Huanggu Town, the Taoists there will surely have left. We will be disappointed."
Tang Ru said simply: "In that case, let's go directly to Chongshan Immortal Palace."
Li Muye agreed and said, "I thought so too. However, according to the information I have gathered, the closer we get to the opening of Chongshan Immortal Palace, the more evil cultivators will intercept us along the way. It is difficult to get through the blockade unless you have a cultivation level above the Out-of-Body Realm."
Tang Ru was worried when he heard this. "If I go alone, I can kill them with the help of magic weapons, but with Nuonuo, I'm afraid it won't work."
Li Muye didn't say anything, but the corners of his lips sank inwards. Tong Nuonuo saw it and immediately said rudely, "You have a solution, right? Don't keep us in suspense, tell us now!"
Li Muye chuckled. Tong Nuonuo felt uncomfortable and glared at him in confusion.
This time Li Muye didn't say anything more. He said, "I have a way to get through the blockade on this road without taking too much risk. We can continue to use the identities we got before and get to Chongshan Palace safely under the cover of Hongfu Pavilion's return convoy. This convoy is heading to Chongshan Palace. There's no better opportunity than this."
Tong Nuonuo frowned, and Tang Ru asked: "But how can the people from Hongfu Pavilion protect us? This is different from breaking through Guangji's portal. There is a channel leading by Daoxiu, and the risk is too great."
Li Muye looked at her and said, "The evil cultivator who helped us get rid of suspicion was none other than Wang Zhongdai, the eldest son of Hongfu Pavilion! Judging from Wang Zhongdai's performance at the time and the respect shown to him by the evil cultivator leading the way, it shows that the evil cultivator behind this channel is Hongfu Pavilion. In a way, Hongfu Pavilion's attitude towards Taoist cultivators is friendlier than any other force in Guangji."
Tang Ru said: "I am not against borrowing power, but how can we contact Wang Zhongdai and make him agree to our request?"
Li Muye put his hands behind his back and said with a bit of pride: "Why do you think it took me so long to come back? I have already talked to Wang Zhongdai, and he agreed to take us there."
Tong Nuonuo was surprised and suspicious, and asked: "Why would he agree? The eldest son of Hongfu Pavilion can't be moved by spirit stones."
Li Muye said calmly: "Because I am a beast tamer, and a master level one at that, I promise to tame a spirit beast for him as a reward in the future."
Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru were speechless for a moment, because they had never known that Li Muye was actually a master-level beast tamer. Beast tamers were higher and rarer than animal trainers, let alone master-level beast tamers. Even if it was to make this connection, Wang Zhongdai had to agree to his request.
Secondly, they felt that they owed Li Muye even more. This time, it was because of Li Muye's help that they were able to arrive in Guangji smoothly, but now they had to rely on Li Muye's help to find Chen Xiao.
Seeing the two people's complicated expressions, Li Muye said: "You don't have to feel that you owe me a favor. Don't forget that I was originally planning to go to Chongshan Immortal Palace, but it was just a side trip."
Tong Nuonuo curled the corner of her mouth and lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
The next day, the three of them sneaked into the Hongfu Pavilion's convoy, hid in a car, and swayed comfortably towards the Chongshan Fairy Palace.
It was on this day that the Taoists who had stopped in Huanggu Town to reminisce about the past also set off and headed towards the large lake where the Immortal Palace was located.
With Zhao Fang and Chang Shou around, Xi Yunting didn't have to spend much time taking care of the disciples in the sect. He would only go out when there was something going on in the temporary alliance, and the rest of the time he would stay with Chen Xiao.
At first, Huang Keran followed his master and his father-in-law to show his filial piety, but later he couldn't bear to see these two people anymore. After getting familiar with Zhao Fang and Chang Shou, he made friends of the same generation, which was a rare occasion. Huang Keran then followed these two senior brothers all day long.
When the day of official departure came, when Huang Keran saw Chen Xiao, he always felt as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.
In just one day, the town shrank by half and the bustling streets were deserted.
Every disciple of the Chongxuan sect had a storage bag. Tai Sheng, Xi Yunting, and Chen Xiao all used the top-grade and largest storage devices. The wooden house they lived in was broken into pieces, and all the parts were packed up and taken away.
Not only did they demolish their homes, but those living in tents also packed up their tents, leaving only a large shantytown in the town.
There were thousands of Taoist practitioners in the procession, and no lone or small group of evil practitioners dared to provoke them along the way.
Wherever this large group of people went, the weaker evil cultivators fled at the sight of them. The few brave ones would just hang far behind the team, waiting for a chance to strike.
It was precisely because there were some evil cultivators with ill intentions following behind that this mixed team did not stretch too long, and no one dared to fall behind.
If it weren't for the need to take care of these low-level cultivators and disciples from second-rate sects, top-tier immortal sects like the Chongxuan Sect, the Jinchan Sect, and the Huolian Temple would have taken the lead long ago.
But there was no way, since they had formed a temporary alliance and they could only endure the anger of being dragged down.
They moved slowly along the way, only able to cover seven or eight hundred miles a day. It took them ten full days to finally get from Huanggu Town to a place not far from the big lake.
There is a city near the lake, which belongs to the evil cultivators. Now the evil cultivators are on high alert, and have gathered people early to block the road.
Chen Xiao looked into the distance and saw a large area of flags forming a dense forest, with shadowy figures constantly walking back and forth.
With so many evil cultivators around, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. He asked, "Who does the city ahead belong to? Can't we take a detour?"
Xi Yunting said: "This city belongs to Hongfu Pavilion, and this large area belongs to this force. There is no point in taking a detour. The entrance and exit opened by the Immortal Palace can only be entered from this direction."
