It's a long story, but in reality, from the moment the Ouyang family unleashed their Glazed Slash until now, only a fleeting moment has passed. After all, the speed of a Mahayana powerhouse's attack is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just as the underground cave near the battlefield was about to close completely, the Ouyang family expert hidden in the shadows suddenly made his move. A powerful magical force, amplified by a magical treasure, rushed towards Chu Nian with lightning speed.

However, Chu Nian also made a move at the same time, shooting a powerful magical force at the guy who was still hiding in the shadows.

Did he think that if he kept it hidden, no one would know he existed?

Honestly, if it were any other cultivator of the same level, they probably wouldn't have been able to detect his presence. Since he wanted to hide, and to enhance his attack power and speed, he didn't hide too far away, he naturally had a special shielding magic item to hide his figure, aura, and everything else very well.

However, in addition to her spiritual power, Chu Nian also possessed mental power. Especially after absorbing a large amount of supernatural energy within the "gap" over the past twenty-odd days, which fused with her mental power, her mental power had grown significantly during this period.

In the cultivation world, spiritual power has its limits. Once you reach the peak of the Mahayana stage, it can no longer increase unless you transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality. However, the limits of mental power are not as clear as those of spiritual power. Even though mental power is limited by the laws of space, this still makes Chu Nian's detection and shielding abilities far superior to those of other Mahayana Supremes of the same level.

Chu Nian spotted the other party but pretended not to, luring them into making a move. The instant the other party attacked, Chu Nian simultaneously unleashed a burst of magical power, successfully injecting it into their dantian.

The magical treasure unleashed by the Ouyang family's expert, carrying powerful magical energy, seemed to have truly struck Chu Nian, causing Chu Nian to be thrown like a kite with a broken string, falling into the crevice in the ground.

At the same time, screams rang out not far away. The Ouyang family expert had been successfully devoured by Chu Nian and turned into a dried corpse.

With a deafening roar, the rift finally closed, sealing away the fearsome female demon Hua Nian, who struck terror into the hearts of the entire cultivation world.

The four demons of Meishan who had fought fiercely with her before had all become victims of Liuli Zhan's blade.

As for the powerful members of the Ouyang family who acted from the shadows...

The three people from the Ouyang family who had activated the Glazed Slash rushed forward to check and found that not only had the other party turned into a dried corpse, but even the three storage bracelets had disappeared.

The three of them turned around and looked at the cave that had been restored to the ground and was now covered with lush green grass. They didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The Ouyang family cultivators also gathered around, and were all horrified when they saw the token at the desiccated corpse's waist. Some of them burst into tears, crying out, "Patriarch..."

This supreme expert of the Ouyang family was actually Ouyang Ren, the current head of the Ouyang family.

Seriously, when that female demon attacked Ouyang Ren, did she never imagine that she would be hit by that magical treasure and fall back into the gap, never to emerge again? She even managed to steal his storage bracelet while draining him dry.

The three outstanding members of the Ouyang family are the current generation. It feels like what is happening before our eyes is truly unbelievable.

The death of the patriarch was unbelievable to them, for he was an incredibly capable and powerful figure, one of the top cultivators in the entire cultivation world. Without Ouyang Ren, the Ouyang family's strongest fighting force was effectively weakened by one-third.

And that female demon, when attacked, didn't dodge or evade, but instead used magic to drain the family head's magical energy. This method of mutual destruction doesn't seem like something that extremely cunning female demon would do.

Just when they were in disbelief and puzzled, Chu Nian, trapped in the rift, was facing the spacetime turbulence that had been rumored in the cultivation world for a long time.

It's not entirely accurate to call it a spacetime turbulence; it's more like a spatial turbulence.

Celestial power, divine energy, and spiritual power were all flying around erratically.

.

When Lin Jingting woke up, he found himself lying in his father's cave. There seemed to be quite a few people visiting outside, and it was rather noisy. Judging from the voices, they were all people he knew relatively well talking, and it seemed that they were asking about his injuries.

However, he felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if he hadn't been injured at all! He remembered that just before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have inexplicably entered a strange space, and what was even stranger was that he was extremely familiar with that space, as if he had been there before.

"Awake?" Mother Li Jueyin's voice rang in my ears.

Lin Jingting hummed in agreement and was about to get up when Li Jueyin pressed her down again. Then she heard Li Jueyin transmit her voice: "From now on, you must carefully remember every word your mother says to you, and carry it out without missing a single word..."

Lin Jingting was completely bewildered by his mother's instructions: He wasn't injured at all, so why was he forced to fake it? Where did the medicine for faking injury come from? And why did his injury symptoms have to be so similar to those of his senior brother Hua? Could it be that his senior brother Hua's injury was also faked?

The thought of this possibility immediately made Lin Jingting's eyes widen, but she still listened attentively as her mother continued to explain.

Not only did he have to pretend to be injured, but he also had to pretend to have lost a bunch of treasures. In order to avoid being chased by the Five Elders of Meishan again, he would have to lie in this room for a period of time from now on: how sad would such a life be?

No wonder Senior Brother Hua has been in seclusion. Will he have to spend the rest of his days in seclusion as well?

After Li Jueyin finished explaining, and because he had taken the pill that could cause injury, he lay sickly on the bed and finally had a chance to speak, asking, "Mother, I entered a strange space before. I felt like I had seen many of the things there before. Do you know where that was?"

Li Jueyin paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

Lin Jingting asked, "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why do you have to think about it before saying 'I don't know'?"

Li Jueyin: "Don't mention that space to anyone else."

Lin Jingting: "So you do know where that is, right?"

Li Jueyin: "I really don't know." After a pause, she added, "But I do know who knows where that is."

Lin Jingting quickly pressed, "Who?"

Li Jueyin paused again before saying, "I don't know if she's still alive. I heard that she was ambushed and fell back into the crevice before it closed."

Lin Jingting asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Li Jueyin: "That person was trapped in the crevice and couldn't get out."

Lin Jingting: "I'm asking you who she is."

Li Jueyin could only say, "You don't need to know who she is, and don't mention this to anyone else."

Lin Jingting rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Mother, I feel a headache, and it seems like some strange images are flashing through my mind."

Li Jueyin was startled and quickly said, "This is probably the effect of the pill you just took. Those images may also be hallucinations caused by it."

In fact, she guessed that Lin Jingting might have awakened some erased memories by returning to the small space where he and Chu Nian had once spent time together.
