During this period, Xiao Zi sat quietly beside Tao Yao, occasionally turning back and sticking out her tongue in the direction of Chen Yebai.

Suddenly, just when Chen Yebai was considering whether to go up and ask Tao Yao, Xiao Zi suddenly growled in a low voice in vigilance.

Chen Yebai was shocked and immediately crushed the jade slip in his hand, then looked in the direction where Xiao Zi was roaring.

There was nothing there except darkness.

Without thinking, he rushed out of his hiding place and shouted to Tao Yao: "Run!"

However, what Chen Yebai did not expect was that Tao Yao, who turned around and looked at him, had pale eyes without any pupils, and did not even look like a human!

Chen Yebai was shocked and was about to retreat alertly, but he heard Xiao Zi's growl becoming more and more rapid, so he hugged Tao Yao without thinking and turned around and ran the way he came.

"Xiao Zi, follow up!"

He did not forget to shout before leaving.

Xiao Zi whimpered upon hearing that and ran after him.

Chen Yebai used all his might, even ignoring the risk of exposing his identity, and used the ancient Chen family's immortal-level magical power, the Wild Wind Technique, consuming his own blood and energy to hurry on.

The whole person turned into a gust of breeze and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

But even so, he still felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him from behind, and a strange chill was pressing against his back, as if it would catch up with him if he stopped for a moment.

whoosh!

At this moment, a rainbow light suddenly appeared in the sky and shot towards this direction. Chen Yebai suddenly felt the cold air behind him suddenly disappear, and the feeling of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes was gone.

He suddenly stopped, staggered and fell to the ground, his face pale and breathing heavily.

Until Xu Dao fell in front of him.

"Young Master, what happened?"

Seeing Tao Yao lying on Chen Yebai and Xiao Zi beside him, Xu Dao glanced around vigilantly.

"Be careful, there is something in that direction!" Chen Yebai reminded hoarsely while lying on the ground.

In an instant, the violent divine thoughts in Xu Dao's sea of ​​consciousness poured out and swept fiercely in the direction Chen Yebai pointed, but found nothing.

"Let's go back first."

So he held Chen Yebai in one hand and Tao Yao in the other, wrapped Xiao Zi with his energy, and turned into a long rainbow that landed at the foot of the mountain some distance away from the Nixuan Sect, and then strode towards the sect with big strides.

He heaved a sigh of relief only after returning to the sect and putting the two of them down.

Soon, Zhao Xinfeng, who received the message from him, also rushed over.

"What's going on? Third Elder?"

Zhao Xinfeng hurried over and saw Chen Yebai and Xu Dao staring at Tao Yao lying on the bed with grim expressions.

After walking out of the house with Zhao Xinfeng and leaving the space to Chen Yebai, Xu Dao repeated what happened tonight according to Chen Yebai's narration.

Then he asked doubtfully, "Master, do you know if there is anything unusual about the Luoxia Mountain Range, which is thirty or forty miles south of the mountain gate?"

Zhao Xinfeng also thought about it with a puzzled look on his face, and after a long time he said: "I have heard of a legend that it seems that a powerful ancient demon clan once fell there..."

......

Time goes back to the present.

"After discussing it, we felt that this girl might have been possessed by the residual soul of a powerful alien left in the Luoxia Mountains. However, that residual soul should be very weak, so it cannot occupy her body. We can only temporarily suppress the girl's mind on the day of the full moon, and instinctively go to the mountains to find her own body."

"I'm afraid I may have neglected something, so I'm telling you to keep an eye on it when you're free. Others may not know your strength, but I do know a little bit about it."

Xu Feng said casually: "Haha, don't worry, I'll try my best."

Chen Yebai looked into Xu Feng's calm eyes and stared at him without any fear: "No, I want your promise."

"Wang Mu, your body-refining technique must be very special. The night he saved me, Chang Yi was a master of the tenth level of Yuan Jing. Moreover, his background is not simple. He is not an ordinary tenth level Yuan Jing."

“Although he was seriously injured by me, his strength is still not comparable to that of an ordinary Yuan Jing, let alone a Yuan Lian stage.”

"Although you told the sect leader and the others that you only took me away and did not fight with that person, I saw clearly that you and that person fought, and it was a draw."

"Either you are truly gifted and can refine Yuan to fight Yuan Jing, or... you are hiding something."

Chen Yebai's eyes suddenly turned cold: "I think you have guessed that my identity is not simple. I can tell you clearly that my identity is definitely not what you can imagine. No matter what your purpose is, for the sake of our friendship, I can pretend not to know."

"Ni Xuanzong, I like this place very much, so I hope you will remember this no matter what you do."

"I can feel that you are a friend worth making friends with, and what I said today is neither a threat nor a warning. I just hope that if you really find that Taoyao is in danger, you will not hesitate to help, and don't hesitate to try your best just to hide your strength."

"Just think of it as a request from a friend who knows you well."

After saying that, he stared into Xu Feng's eyes and looked at him for a long time.

"puff."

The result, to Chen Yebai's surprise, was that there was no anger, no resentment, no estrangement, no vigilance, no contempt, and no solemnity.

He didn't see anything in Xu Feng's eyes, but he saw this guy suddenly laugh.

"Hahahahaha." Xu Feng suddenly laughed so hard that he curled up on the recliner, gasping for breath while laughing.

At this moment, for some reason, looking at Xu Feng's crazy smile, Chen Yebai suddenly felt a strange trust and a hint of madness from him.

This person always gives him a feeling of madness that is hard to understand but hidden in his bones.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Yebai asked puzzled.

"You pervert," Xu Feng panted, "Is this your perverted love for Tao Yao? Hahahaha, this is the first time you like someone, right?"

Chen Yebai's face suddenly darkened: "You are the pervert, your whole family is perverted."

"This is the first time in my life that someone has said so much funny nonsense to me." It took Xu Feng a long time to calm down.

"Hey! You guy, I'm serious, okay? I've been thinking about this sentence all night." Chen Yebai was suddenly furious. He didn't know why he felt like he had farted. Why was this guy's reaction different from what he expected?

Normal monks wouldn't do this, right?

"Don't worry, I'll remember what you said. But I take care of her because she is a neglected child like me. It has nothing to do with you."

"As for you, I know you are confused because of your concern. I will accept your request for the time being, but this is not the right attitude to ask for help, so don't even think about the gift I brought you from the secret realm this time."
