When we arrived at Luobei, everything seemed to be going in the right direction. The evil cultivators here had no power to defeat us at all.

If the Taoists had not been in a hurry to return to their respective sects, this fortress of the evil cultivators would have been lost.

Once you get here, you no longer have to worry about large groups of evil cultivators showing up to intercept you.

Many independent cultivators came to say goodbye to Tai Sheng, and Chen Xiao accompanied them, making his presence felt and showing up enough.

This time, apart from the three-person team that destroyed the core whose reputation was not well-known and whose merits were known only to a few people, Chen Xiao also became famous along with Xi Yunting and Jing Hui.

He became famous not because of his fighting skills, but because he was the only weapon refiner who understood Chongshan's thinking and cracked the gate of the Immortal Palace.

Chen Xiao did not deliberately keep it secret, so the news that he had learned from Chongshan's inheritance slowly spread on his way back.

In fact, it was useless for him to keep it secret. In front of the Reception Hall, Fu Wumo clearly mentioned this point when he asked him to swear allegiance to him.

If we take this opportunity to expand our business to Xuwu, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

It’s a pity that Chen Xiao didn’t have that idea.

On the one hand, he had to use the rest of his time to take care of Xi Yunting. On the other hand, after being away for decades, he didn't know how the Dongyu Sect was developing now, so he had to go back and take a look.

Zhao Fang went ahead and returned to Chongxuan Sect in advance to report the situation.

Chen Xiao and his group rode on giant lizards, crossed the vast desert, and took a full month to return to Luo Chen's fortress.

At this time, Liu Shaoguang was already waiting for them here.

When they met, Liu Shaoguang's expression was very serious. After arranging for accommodation, he went to Xi Yunting's room first.

Xi Yunting's injuries have improved a lot, and he can get out of bed and walk. However, due to the evil cultivator's true energy, if he moves too much, his muscles, bones, and internal organs will hurt.

Although he could endure it, Chen Xiao felt so distressed that he didn't want to let him go out until he was fully recovered.

Xi Yunting was also helpless. Out of pity for Chen Xiao's mood, he had to follow his wishes and spend most of his time resting in bed.

After a careful examination, Liu Shaoguang relaxed a little. Although his expression was still solemn, he didn't feel so depressed and heavy in his heart.

"Fortunately, his spiritual roots were not damaged, and the injury to his dantian is not difficult to heal. Your second brother has already taken the master's token to ask for help from a senior who is good at healing. When we return to the mountain gate, he should be there, so there will be no delay in the treatment."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up with joy and he hurriedly thanked Liu Shaoguang.

"It's all my duty. This time, Junior Brother was injured for the sake of the sect, and he has made a great contribution." Liu Shaoguang's serious expression faded, replaced by a gentle look.

Deep down, Liu Shaoguang was very grateful to Chen Xiao.

This situation was beyond their expectations. If Chen Xiao hadn't suddenly appeared in Guangji and followed them on this trip, regardless of whether they had gained anything, facing Fu Wumo without knowing it, with Xi Yunting's temper, it would still be a big battle, and life and death would be unpredictable.

"I heard that Miss Tang was injured, so I'll ask her to go back to Jiukun to recuperate." Liu Shaoguang said.

Chen Xiao values ​​these friends very much. Instead of making things difficult for him, it would be better for him to take the initiative and take on the task of taking care of her, which would also demonstrate the magnanimity of the Chongxuan School.

After talking about the arrangements for recuperation, Liu Shaoguang's face darkened and he said, "Fu Wumo has caused the wrath of the Taoists this time. He secretly harmed many Taoist elites and even caused the annihilation of all the disciples of Changyang Palace. We Taoists must seek justice!"

Chen Xiao asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Liu, I heard that before the departure, Zhang Jide invited a powerful senior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to personally go to Guangji to negotiate an agreement with the evil cultivator, which prompted the Taoist cultivator to boldly go to the Immortal Palace for adventure. Who negotiated this agreement? Why didn't they guard against Fu Wumo's move?"

Liu Shaoguang said with a bad look, "It is said that the person who went to negotiate with Dao Xiu was Senior Shi Yun from the Equipment Refiners' Union. However, since the last time someone saw him in Luobei, no one has heard of him appearing again."

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then slowly recalled that Taixuan had indeed told him that there were three great tribulation-crossing masters in Luo Chen's time, namely Shi Yun, a casual cultivator from the Equipment Refiners Alliance, Duxu Daojun, the founding ancestor of Duxu Palace, and Hua Baisui, the supreme elder of Qiluo Pavilion.

This was because Shi Yun had been traveling outside and his whereabouts were unknown. Later, Chen Xiao personally dealt with Daojun Duxu and Hua Baisui, and unexpectedly forgot about this senior Dujie who had a low presence!

He said in disbelief: "The Equipment Master Alliance has a senior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in charge, and yet Fu Wumo schemed against them like this?"

Liu Shaoguang sighed helplessly, "Senior Shi Yun chose to serve the Equipment Refiners' Alliance because of his status as a casual cultivator. Both sides are just taking what they need. Senior Shi Yun wants to enjoy the supplies of the Equipment Refiners' Alliance, and the Equipment Refiners' Alliance only wants the title of being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage." With such a relationship, it's no wonder that Shi Yun was not very dedicated.

At this time, Xi Yunting, who was sitting on the head of the bed, said, "Senior Shi Yun may have been in trouble."

Liu Shaoguang and Chen Xiao both turned to look at him, "How did you know?"

Xi Yunting looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, do you still remember that after the gate of the Immortal Palace was opened, many people followed us in. It was you and I who arrived at the top of the mountain first and entered the study. After a while, Bai Jiguang came in second. We talked with Bai Jiguang for a few words before Wang Zhongdai appeared at the door."

Chen Xiao nodded, and Xi Yunting continued, "Now we know that Fu Wumo has been using Wang Zhongdai's identity to move around us. This is strange. With Fu Wumo's strength, how could he fall behind? He didn't arrive until we had been in the study for a long time."

Chen Xiao slowly revealed an incredible expression: "You mean Fu Wumo was held back by someone? Is this person Shi Yun?"

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "Senior Shi Yun is the most likely person who can make Fu Wumo spend time and is inextricably linked to this matter. He may have been secretly watching and waiting for the opportunity. When the gate of the Immortal Palace opened, he must have wanted to enter at the first time. It's a pity that he didn't know that Fu Wumo was there and was caught off guard!"

Chen Xiao took a breath, and Liu Shaoguang said solemnly: "Junior brother, are you telling the truth?"

Xi Yunting didn't feel annoyed when Liu Shaoguang questioned him, because the matter was too big.

Although Shi Yun has the lowest status among the three tribulation-crossing masters, he is still a tribulation-crossing master after all!

If he really died at the hands of Fu Wumo, it would undoubtedly cause a huge shock.

"I have been bedridden for a while and have nothing to do, so I thought carefully about the course of this trip. Master Zhang has always been very strong and confident in the early stages. Who gave him this support? Only the senior from the Refiner Alliance who has never shown his face and is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage helped him in secret, which gave him this confidence."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "No wonder Zhang Jide had one attitude before the palace gate was opened, and changed his attitude after he found something wrong. Senior Shi Yun didn't show up, so Zhang Jide immediately realized that something unexpected had happened. If Senior Shi Yun was still here, the evil cultivators wouldn't have surrounded him. He alone would be enough to kill all of them."

Zhang Jide was certainly helpless in dealing with the enemy that was difficult to deal with even in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. No wonder he spoke so bluntly to his subordinates at that time.

Liu Shaoguang was still in disbelief. His eyes were fixed as he murmured, "From what you said, it can be inferred that Senior Shi Yun and Fu Wumo didn't fight for long. Fu Wumo was so powerful that he killed Senior Shi Yun in less than two quarters of an hour!"

Xi Yunting gently stroked his chest, his eyes flashing with gloom, he said: "Fu Wumo's cultivation is very high, his skills and combat power, I am afraid only Duxu Daojun can surpass him."

When cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage face those with lower cultivation levels than them, they will naturally crush them. But even if they are both in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, there will still be differences in their levels.

Chen Xiao shuddered and couldn't help but sit down on the bed, twisted his waist and hugged him, burying his face in his arms.

"Fortunately, fortunately you are still alive." Chen Xiao was terrified. It was really a fluke that Xi Yunting was able to survive.

Xi Yunting patted him comfortingly. Liu Shaoguang was not as thin-skinned as Tao Yi. He shamelessly stood there without moving, just watching the interaction between the two.

Xi Yunting glanced at him weakly, lowered his head and said a few words of comfort. Chen Xiao recovered from the shock and stood up embarrassedly.

After stroking Chen Xiao's face, Xi Yunting hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, when Fu Wumo hit my Dantian, I didn't completely lose my senses."

Chen Xiao looked at him puzzledly. Xi Yunting took a deep breath. It was rare for him to do this during a conversation. Chen Xiao immediately realized the tension in his heart and placed his palm on his heart to soothe him.

Xi Yunting felt warm in his heart, raised his hand and tightly grasped his hand, saying: "I had just touched the key to the separation of spirits, and happened to attract the calamity cloud, on the verge of promotion, and was most sensitive to the senses of heaven and earth. Although my body seemed to be unconscious, part of my consciousness was still clear. Fu Wumo touched my blood, and he seemed to have noticed something. Not only did he not kill me, he also deliberately left a trace of true energy in my body."

Chen Xiao looked at him in surprise. Xi Yunting frowned and said slowly, "I don't know why he chose to do this. Maybe it has something to do with the two words he said at the time."

Liu Shaoguang was startled and asked, "What did he say?"

Xi Yunting turned to look at the eldest senior brother and said solemnly, "I remember it very clearly. He said 'Wu Jiu', which seemed to be a person's name. He seemed to think that I had a great relationship with this 'Wu Jiu'. After releasing that true energy, he even said 'he could only do this much for me'."

The room was very quiet for a while. After a while, Xi Yunting gritted his teeth and said, "Wujiu and Wumo look very similar, like brothers. Could it be that my biological parents are evil cultivators?"

"Impossible!" Liu Shaoguang retorted without hesitation, "Master said it very clearly. The day he picked you up, you clearly fell from the sky, wrapped in a majestic glow. If your parents were evil cultivators, the light would never give people such a positive feeling."

After the layout of the Nine Dragon Pool was completed, Tai Su's health improved, so he did not hide it from Liu Shaoguang and Tao Yi, and told them Xi Yunting's life experience.

Liu Shaoguang was so surprised at the time that he asked about the details carefully. He absolutely did not believe that his junior brother could be the descendant of an evil cultivator.

Seeing that Xi Yunting was still very depressed, Liu Shaoguang advised: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Master knows this best. Since he said that you are the descendant of an immortal, you must have the blood of an immortal flowing in your body, not that of an evil cultivator."

The author has something to say: Complete the foreshadowing laid out earlier, so as to avoid missing out or forgetting it.

I think many people have forgotten Shi Yun. He was only mentioned once.

Taixuan mentioned him during the Chongxuan dungeon, saying that he was not in Luochen at the time, and someone had seen him near the Evil Domain. At that time, Shi Yunzheng was entrusted by Zhang Jide to go to Guangji to inquire about the situation of Chongshan Fairy Palace.
