Over the next seven days, Chi Chen and his group of seven only encountered two mysterious groups on their journey. Although their combat strength was not low, they were nothing more than corpses in front of Chi Chen and his group of seven, and did not cause them much trouble.
At this moment, Chi Chen and his group of seven were already quite far from Guangxia City. They were currently in front of a mountain peak.
It was a mountain formed by giant rocks that were strangely black in color. Because there was no sunlight in the dimensional realm, there was no vegetation on the mountain, only bare patches of giant rocks.
From a distance, the mountain peak looks more like a huge long sword stuck diagonally into the ground, because on the top of the mountain, there are two rather abruptly protruding boulders on the left and right sides, like the hilt of a long sword. Looking further down, the mountain peak appears rather slender, like the blade of a long sword.
The mountain peak was located in a flat area, so it looked as if it had suddenly emerged from the ground or fallen from the sky and planted itself in the ground.
"Chi Chen, now you can tell me where we're going, right?"
Looking at the dark mountain peak in the distance, a strange light flickered in his eyes, and he suddenly spoke.
"Brother Qing, what are you saying?"
"What do you mean, Brother Qing? Didn't we come out here to pick up the scraps and find the mysterious group that those ten teams missed?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and Xiang Ming glanced at Qing Sheng with slight confusion, not quite understanding the meaning behind his sudden remark.
Then everyone looked at Chi Chen, waiting for his explanation. Was there something they didn't know about this trip?
Of course, among the remaining people, only Hu Miaomiao was an exception. After hearing Qingsheng's question, she did not show any surprise on her face. She just glanced at Chi Chen beside her, as if she had expected this.
"Hehe, you're so thoughtful, Brother Qing!"
Chi Chen remained silent for a moment, then chuckled, but did not answer Qing Sheng's question.
"Chi Chen, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and the others were taken aback, and then they also gave Chi Chen a deep look.
Although Chi Chen did not answer, it was tantamount to indirectly acknowledging the meaning behind Qing Sheng's words.
Everyone understood that their trip was not simply to kill the mysterious figure.
But why did Chi Chen keep it a secret from everyone?
If you were to say that Chi Chen would harm them, Lin Bai would be the first to refuse to believe it.
But if that's the case, why didn't Chi Chen reveal any details beforehand?
Could it be that Chi Chen didn't say anything because achieving that goal would be dangerous and he was afraid they would be scared?
But that doesn't make sense either, because given the bond between the seven of them, even if the trip is dangerous, as long as Chi Chen asks, they will definitely follow without hesitation.
Furthermore, if there were truly dangers on this trip that the seven of them couldn't handle, Chi Chen certainly wouldn't have brought everyone out with him like this.
Lin Bai, Xiang Ming, and the others were filled with questions at this moment.
However, Lin Bai was also puzzled as to how Qing Sheng discovered that Chi Chen had another purpose in bringing them out this time.
Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Qing Sheng could only say:
"Along the way, we seemed to be just searching for the mysterious group that the ten teams had overlooked, but the direction we were traveling was chosen by Chi Chen. Whenever we stopped to rest, Chi Chen would always look up at the red moon that was always in the same position. I think he used the red moon to determine the direction!"
Moreover, most of the places we've passed through during this time are places we've never been before. These places used to be inhabited by many mysterious groups with great strength, making them very dangerous for us back then. But the situation is different now. Logically, the mysterious groups here should have been mostly wiped out, but Chi Chen isn't entirely sure. So, he was probably still observing the situation for the past few days.
Three days ago, when we weren't paying attention, a small insect scurried out from beside Chi Chen. It seems that Chi Chen was controlling it to come and check the situation. After confirming that there was no danger here, he led us straight here.
"And that mountain peak ahead, shaped like a long knife, must be our destination. Am I right, Chi Chen?!"
After Qingsheng finished speaking, he also gave Chi Chen a deep look. If it weren't for the inexplicable feeling he got from Chi Chen, which led him to observe Chi Chen closely in the following days, he probably wouldn't have noticed those little details.
Qing Sheng couldn't understand why Chi Chen had brought them here without telling them.
Now that they were almost at that strange mountain peak, Qingsheng could no longer suppress his doubts and finally asked.
Similarly, Qing Sheng didn't believe that Chi Chen would harm them, but they still needed to find out about Chi Chen's unusual behavior.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and the others turned their gazes to Chi Chen again, but there was no fear or anger in their eyes, only confusion.
"Brother Qing is right. The destination I brought you here this time is that Blade Peak ahead. As for why I brought you here, I can't say right now. All I want to say is that you may or may not be in danger where we go. I'm not sure. But if you can successfully go in, when you come out, the changes in you will be beyond your imagination!"
Chi Chen looked at everyone's gazes, but still did not choose to answer their questions. He simply looked up at the sky and then looked down at everyone.
If possible, he would not have brought Qingsheng and the others here, but time was running out.
Chi Chen couldn't do anything about the others, but at least he wanted Qing Sheng, Lin Bai, and the other three to have some ability to protect themselves when that moment came.
There's no time left for them to grow slowly, including myself. After Lin Bai and the others enter Blade Peak, and after I've dealt with the matters of the Yuan Realm, Chi Chen will also have his own place to go.
The moment Chi Chen looked up and then down again, everyone was slightly taken aback, because in that instant, they seemed to see a fleeting look of vicissitude in Chi Chen's eyes.
Although it was only for a moment, Lin Bai and the others still managed to capture that sense of vicissitude, as if it were something a person would only possess after experiencing countless life and death events, witnessing the changes in the world, and traversing the long river of time.
The moment Chi Chen appeared just now made Lin Bai, his friend of nearly twenty years, feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
"So, do you trust me? If you do, then come with me. If you don't want to go, that's fine too. The final choice is in your hands. But even if I don't know if there's any danger over there, I can guarantee that at least your lives won't be in danger!"
Seeing everyone silent, Chi Chen smiled and spoke again. As he said, the choice was in Lin Bai's hands. Even if Qing Sheng didn't expose them before they reached the Blade Peak, Chi Chen would still let Lin Bai and the others make their own choice at the last moment.
Chi Chen brought them here simply to give them a choice.
Beside Chi Chen, Hu Miaomiao seemed to sense the fluctuation in Chi Chen's mood at the moment, and took the initiative to reach out her small hand and hold Chi Chen's palm.
Chi Chen felt the warmth from his hand, turned his face and smiled at Hu Miaomiao.
Hu Miaomiao also smiled back, as if to say, "No matter what you do, I will be with you."
"Yes, of course I'll go. What about you guys?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai paused for a moment, but instead of complaining about the sudden display of affection, he responded to Chi Chen.
Lin Bai has absolute trust in Chi Chen. To be honest, even if Chi Chen told Lin Bai to smash his head against a rock and kill himself, Lin Bai would probably choose a large rock to make sure he could kill himself.
This is how much Chi Chen means to him.
Qingsheng seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed softly and spoke:
"What else can I do but go too!"
Gan Yuan also sighed softly and said:
"Chi Chen, you can't get me into trouble!"
Xiang Ming didn't say much, he just nodded in agreement.
Wang Hao also spoke up, naturally not backing down.
"Then I'll go too!"
Qing Sheng, Lin Bai, Gan Yuan, Wang Hao, and Xiang Ming all looked at Chi Chen with eyes full of trust.
Chi Chen has saved their lives more than once or twice; if it weren't for Chi Chen, they would probably be dead long ago.
Although they were filled with doubts, they all hesitantly chose to believe Chi Chen.
"Okay, let's move on!"
Upon seeing this, Chi Chen smiled broadly, said nothing more, and simply turned around to lead the group towards the blade peak.
...
Dimensional realm, a mysterious kingdom.
Bazan had just heard the news from his subordinates that the mysterious group they had sent out had been wiped out by the temporary allied forces in just ten days.
However, Bazan did not show much anger or pain on his face.
After his men left, Bazan's face showed a deep fear. He didn't even dare to look at the sky outside.
Bazan's eyes showed hesitation and struggle, and his face gradually turned ugly, but in the end, he made a decision!
Bazan rose and headed down towards the palace, which had already been repaired.
Blue Star, a forbidden place of heresy.
The number of people in the heretical forbidden zone at this moment is several times greater than before, but among them are not only people who originally belonged to the Great Xia War Zone, but also people from the other three war zones, and even more.
During Chi Chen's absence, the Heretical Forbidden Bureau seemed to have fallen silent and become completely quiet after helping Kalba cause trouble on the southern border of Great Xia.
But in reality, under the secret manipulation of the Moon Goddess, the heretics in the other three war zones either died or were captured. Now, almost all the heretics on the entire Blue Star who have forbidden taboos have been brought to the Heretic Taboo Site.
"Why, why did He speed up? Damn it, it's not enough, it's not enough!"
Inside the tower of the Heretical Forbidden House, the 'Demon God' gazed at the sky with fear in his eyes. He could sense that the being was about to awaken, and the end of this world was about to arrive.
As for myself, I don't yet have enough confidence to survive that catastrophe.
"snort!"
The 'Demon God' gave a cold snort of anger, then lowered his head slightly and turned his gaze toward the Great Xia. Behind him, the Thunder God and the Evil God stood quietly to the side, their auras seemingly having reached the level of half-step Sheng Yang. However, at this moment, the eyes of the Thunder God and the Evil God appeared extremely empty and dull.
