They didn't tell me beforehand because they were afraid of scaring me.

Originally, my second brother was investigating my cousin's death with Lin Shen at the Ye family, but they accidentally discovered a shocking secret: his wicked father, Ye Chen, was actually connected with an ancient alien race and came to the Dark Night Ancient Forest through some secret method of the Ye family.

However, they did not find the secret door mentioned by the Ye family members. Instead, they encountered many powerful beasts. After several brushes with death, the Ye family member who led them was swallowed by a ferocious beast.

At the same time, they found me unconscious in a desolate graveyard.

And so, my second brother searched for the secret door while healing my wounds until I woke up that day.

After that, he gave up and took me out.

I joked that I might know the place he was talking about, and then I told him about everything that had happened to me recently.

He didn't say anything, seemingly knowing something. Lin Shen remained as aloof as ever. Only Xue Xiaobai bared her teeth, which was considered a response to me.

After that, we gave up flying and started walking, because once we left the Dark Night Ancient Forest, we entered a place devoid of spiritual energy. Although there were no powerful demonic beasts, we couldn't use spiritual power.

So the danger remains, and whether we can get out is still unknown.

Actually, with my second brother's special skills and the ingenious mechanisms that my mother gave me, it's not impossible for him to fly. However, there are also Lin Shen and Xue Xiaobai, who cultivate pure martial arts. This place of spiritual desolation has too much of an impact on them. If they are not careful, their lives will be in danger.

Although ordinary people would not set foot in this place, legend has it that every place devoid of spiritual energy is bound to be accompanied by great opportunities. Therefore, some people who would do anything for cultivation would still risk everything, even if they knew that the road ahead was a dead end.

To avoid encountering such people, we used the obstacle-breaking fruit we had eaten before to avoid anything that seemed a little unusual. As a result, we wasted a lot of time, but we were also much safer.

And so, another half month passed, and we finally arrived at the outer edge of the Floating Pool Abyss, the place where the new gods were being tested.

Unfortunately, the New God Trial had long since passed, and the place was now deserted. We found a broken teleportation array and left the Floating Pool Abyss.

The reason we stopped using the better ones was to avoid dealing with the demon race. If they found out that Second Brother and the others had trespassed into the Floating Pool Abyss, they probably wouldn't let it go. The damaged teleportation array was built by the Immortal Cultivator Kongkong for his disciples and grand-disciples, but it became extinct and was abandoned, which benefited us.

Because this teleportation array leads to the human realm, we went there and also went to the Ye family with my second brother.

However, after the second brother and the others left, the Ye family members suddenly imagined that the Ye family's ancestral home had been burned to the ground overnight.

It's obvious that someone doesn't want Second Brother to pursue this matter any further.

But judging from my second brother's expression, he probably wouldn't be willing to give up so easily.

The matter of my cousin is a thorn in the hearts of my second brother and father. Even after so many years, they still cannot let go of it.

I just hope they are all doing well. As for the rest, I'll just let things take their course; there's no point in forcing anything.

My second brother took me to the place where he and my aunt used to live. It was not far from the Ye family home. The place was small, with only a few thatched huts and a few acres of vegetable fields. It looked so beautiful. And my aunt was buried in such a place forever.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
