After learning that Gu Liyan and An Le had secretly left without a word, Mo Chen and the others rushed towards the Shadow Hall overnight.

——

The wind howled past my ears, making it hard to open my eyes, and even the iron lock as thick as an arm in front of me swayed back and forth.

Mo Chen looked at the precipice before him, the path connecting the other side to the cliff only by an iron chain was full of unknown dangers.

Seeing this, Mo Chen couldn't help but point ahead with a twitching smile, and couldn't help but ask:

"Are you... sure this is the way?"

“Of course! During my time wandering around, I discovered many secret bases! This is definitely the only entrance to the Shadow Hall!” Wu Wenfeng said with his hands on his hips and a confident expression.

Hearing Wu Wenfeng's words, Jin subconsciously raised his eyebrows and frowned.

Wu Wenfeng turned his head and saw Jin Yi's gloomy and uncertain expression, so he quickly changed his words:

"Well, of course, I don't have the ability to go to the Tianfu Base..."

Jin Yi ignored Wu Wenfeng's words and, looking at the end of the cliff, spoke to Mo Chen:

“He’s right, this is indeed Shadow Hall’s territory, and so far, it’s the only way for us to get into Shadow Hall!”

"Listen to me, big brother, am I right?" Upon hearing Jin Yi's words, Wu Wenfeng excitedly pulled Mo Chen aside to ask for credit.

However, Jin Yi's tone shifted, becoming somewhat hesitant, "It's just that this path doesn't seem so easy to walk..."

"Don't worry! I've been staking out this place for a long time and haven't seen any of their Shadow Hall members patrolling. So, we'll be safe as long as we go over there!" Wu Wenfeng said, pulling out a rope and looking at Mo Chen with a "please praise me" expression. "Look, I've even prepared my equipment!"

Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng, then looked at him again before taking a deep breath and saying bluntly, "Then let's stop talking nonsense! Just fly over there!"

Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen in astonishment: Fly over there?! You're kidding, right? That's such a long distance.

Before Wu Wenfeng could react, Mo Chen grabbed him by the back of his collar without a word. Then, Mo Chen, carrying Wu Wenfeng, leaped into the air, using iron chains to ride the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the other side.

Upon landing, Wu Wenfeng felt as if a gust of wind was whistling past his ears, propelling him forward, and then he reached the other side.

Feeling the chilly wind from the opposite bank, Wu Wenfeng instinctively took a step back, kicking a stone that plunged into the abyss. The darkness seemed endless, and the sheer drop of the abyss terrified him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! Did I really just fly over here?!"

Mo Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Look at you, so cowardly and useless!"

Wu Wenfeng's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground with a thud. He said in a trembling voice, "Big brother, I used to wonder why I had a fear of heights, but now I understand! It's because you kept taking on difficult challenges and taking me with you!"

Mo Chen rolled his eyes. "Being able to analyze the problem so logically means you're alright. Hurry up and get up! Who's going to help you up?"

Having been seen through by Mo Chen, Wu Wenfeng pouted and got up with a displeased look. "Big brother, can't you be a little gentler with me?"

Mo Chen rolled his eyes. "Can't you be a little more mature?"

“But it’s normal for an older brother to take care of his younger brother! Big brother, you’re not gentle or considerate at all! No wonder you’re surrounded by men now, and there’s not a single woman!” Wu Wenfeng said with a look of disdain.

"You little brat, you're asking for a beating!" Mo Chen glared at Wu Wenfeng. "If you don't lead us to Gu Liyan by now, I'll just push you, you useless bastard, into the abyss behind me, so you won't waste the air of this world!"

Wu Wenfeng hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I was wrong, okay!"

Just then, Jin Yi moved swiftly, crossing from the opposite bank to stand before the two. He glanced at the nearby bushes and said, "It seems many people have already traversed this path, but some may never be able to return!"

Hearing Jin Yi's words, Wu Wenfeng looked puzzled. But when he followed Jin Yi's gaze, he was so frightened by the scattered skeletons around him that his legs went weak.

Mo Chen reacted quickly, pulling him up and saying with a look of exasperation, "Can't you be a little more capable? Don't let your legs go weak at the drop of a hat!"

"Big brother, you know, I developed a fear of heights when I was young, and I'm also very timid. If it weren't for you protecting me, I probably wouldn't be alive now..." Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen pitifully with teary eyes.

Mo Chen was speechless for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, let's not bring up the past anymore. Besides, didn't I give you a mask? Why don't you carry it with you?"

"Uh... because the patriarch said we need to uphold the Wu family's reputation, and we can't hide our identities when we're out and about, so..." Wu Wenfeng scratched his head and tugged at his clothes, looking helpless, and said to Mo Chen with a bitter face, "Without that mask, I'm just as timid as ever, you know that..."

Mo Chen rolled his eyes at Wu Wenfeng helplessly, then took out his own mask from his pocket and handed it to him. "Use mine first, or no one will be there to support you next time your legs give way!"

Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen's mask and excitedly took it. "Hehe, big brother, is this your mask? It's so cool! Big brother, you've been gone for so long, you haven't been wearing this mask the whole time, have you? Do you have to hide your identity when you're out and about? Or are you wearing it because you're a coward and afraid of getting into trouble? Ah! Could it be that you've offended some women and are afraid they'll come after you?!"
