Then, what Ren Lao just said was his last sentence to Chen Zhou. This last sentence was, of course, meant to encourage him, and it was of great significance to Chen Zhou.
In Chen Zhou's imagination, this was the last time Ren Lao spoke to him.
"What can I do? What? You can't handle it just because I told you the truth once?" Ren Lao looked at Chen Zhou's surprised expression as he stopped in his tracks, and after a long pause, he finally spoke.
"Old Ren, is this really the truth?" Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Chen Zhou naturally still didn't want to believe that what Elder Ren said was the truth.
Because this is simply too unbelievable.
"When have I ever lied to you? What are you still standing here for? Aren't you going back? Those three are asking about you." Old Ren clearly gave the order to leave.
Chen Zhou had no choice but to awkwardly return to reality. As soon as he came to his senses, he saw a pair of big eyes appear in front of his face. Wasn't this Qianwei?
Qianwei stared at Chen Zhou for a long time because he had been calling out to Chen Zhou since earlier, asking him about Xi Xiangchen, but Chen Zhou hadn't responded and had finally stopped moving. This puzzled Qianwei, so he moved closer to ask Chen Zhou.
However, Chen Zhou remained standing there with a blank and lifeless look in his eyes. Qian Wei called out to him several times and then became anxious. He immediately began to shake Chen Zhou's body, but found that Chen Zhou did not respond at all.
The three of them suddenly became anxious and all looked at Chen Zhou.
"Could it be that the deadly poison entered his body?" Qian Wei said slowly. Just now, Chen Zhou seemed to be a perfectly healthy person, without any problems. He had only come into contact with the deadly poison in his body. Therefore, it was very likely that Chen Zhou was affected by the deadly poison.
"Now it seems so. Did you have similar symptoms before?" Wo Yuan also came over at that time, frowning as she looked at Chen Zhou, who was in a daze at the time.
“None of our sect members who have been poisoned by that deadly poison have these symptoms! Our symptoms are just slow cultivation, inability to be exposed to light, difficulty using true qi, and so on. There have been no cases of it affecting our minds or even causing mental impairment,” Qian Wei said slowly.
Upon hearing Qianwei's answer, Sufeng and Woyuan both frowned, unsure of what to do next.
Indeed, none of the three of them knew what to do.
Because none of the three of them had encountered such a situation.
Just when the three were at their wits' end and were about to carry Chen Zhou on their backs to the Qianlong Sect to ask the elders for help, Chen Zhou suddenly woke up. This led to the close eye contact between Chen Zhou and Qian Wei earlier, because Qian Wei was about to carry Chen Zhou on his back.
Coincidentally, Chen Zhou woke up at that very moment.
"What are you guys trying to do?" Chen Zhou asked first, looking at Qianwei who was getting closer to him. Then he looked at Su Feng, who seemed to be ready to lend a hand, with a puzzled expression.
"Ah! My lord! You're awake!" Qianwei was a beat slow to react before realizing that Chen Zhou was already awake, and he instinctively backed away.
"What? I'm awake? I've been awake the whole time!" Chen Zhou replied.
What's wrong with these three? I've only been in the mental world for a short while, and things have already turned out like this. This is far too fast.
"Then why didn't you wake up when we kept calling you? It really scared us to death." Qian asked with curiosity and shock, and even a little bit of pleasure, because Chen Zhou's body did not show any adverse effects.
"I was thinking about something and didn't have time to reply to you. I'm very sorry, I apologize to you here." Chen Zhou said immediately. It was indeed his fault. He had entered his own mental world without saying a word and ignored the feelings of the three people present.
"He even considers things so seriously, no wonder he's Xi Xiangchen's apprentice..." Wo Yuan couldn't help but say.
Chen Zhou's statement was indeed somewhat out of place, but everyone trusted him implicitly, so they basically believed whatever he said, even though it didn't seem very real.
"Let's set off as soon as possible, I'm very pressed for time. I must complete this detoxification process quickly, and then I need to return to my place as soon as possible. Reporting back is very important, so we must get going now!" Chen Zhou said quickly.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the three of them immediately quickened their pace to catch up with him.
Chen Zhou's departure immediately drew more shouts from Qianwei.
"My lord! Wait! This is not the way to the Hidden Dragon Sect! Please follow me. The Hidden Dragon Sect has been in seclusion for many years and has changed its location many times. So most people only know that the Hidden Dragon Sect is in Hidden Dragon Mountain, but they don't know exactly where the Hidden Dragon Sect is. Otherwise, if everyone knew where the Hidden Dragon Sect was, what would be considered seclusion?" Qianwei said loudly.
Qianwei was afraid that he couldn't stop Chen Zhou, otherwise Chen Zhou alone would have strayed from the direction of the Qianlong Sect.
Fortunately, Chen Zhou didn't go very far this time.
"Then lead the way," Chen Zhou said.
Qianwei nodded and immediately led the group in a completely different direction.
Because the forests of Qianlong Mountain are lush and the terrain is complex, if Chen Zhou came alone, he probably wouldn't be able to find the exact location of the Qianlong Sect.
Only with Qianwei's guidance could Chen Zhou accurately reach the Qianlong Sect.
“My lord, the Hidden Dragon Sect has been in seclusion since then, and no outsiders have entered the sect. Therefore, your entry this time will surely attract many attacks. I will explain your purpose to you and do my best to help you, but I will not be able to stop the obstruction of some die-hards,” Qian Wei said as he walked.
