Luo Shangyan saw that Xiao Chen was fine just now, but all of a sudden, he turned pale. So he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
After a long while, Xiao Chen finally came to his senses. With a gentle smile, he shook his head and said, "No, nothing. It's probably because I'm too tired these two days."
At this time, the sunset glow tinted the dusk. A crisp bell-ringing sound suddenly rose outside the courtyard. Xiao Chen knew that Xian'er was coming. He got up and said, "Xian'er? Why don't you let Perfected Immortal Qing Chen teach you more knacks?"
"Tee-hee!" Murong Xian'er rushed to him, bouncing. Now that she looked almost the same as those ordinary girls without the two fluffy ears on her head. She giggled and said, "Grandpa Qing Chen has taught me a lot of funny tricks."
After that, she moved her fingers quickly to cast out a spell and pointed in the air. In an instant, an Immortal's Sword was formed. Though this sword was made from the True Qi, it had almost materialized. Xiao Chen could not help but be surprised. "Condensing Sword with Qi is the skill only Core Forming Realm cultivators can have. Xian'er usually looks so childlike and unworldly. How much strength does she have exactly?"
Aside Luo Shangyan was also a little surprised. Looking at the Immortal's Sword flying about in the air, Xiao Chen nodded. Murong Xian'er pulled his arm. She blinked her big eyes at him and said, "I've known Brother Xiao Chen for years. Only I can call him Brother Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen looked at her, smiling gently. "She looked so innocent all the time no matter what she has experienced. It's a pity that I failed to protect her before."
In a flash, he remembered that when they were in the Skygale Sect, Patriarch Guanshan actually recognized her. "Did she appear a thousand years ago? What is her origin?"
Night fell quietly. Xiao Chen stood on top of the cliff with his sleeves ballooning in the wind like a fairy. He looked at the curved moon rising from the horizon. Xiao Chen was full of sorrow because he really didn't know how many more quiet days he could have.
Right then, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen, Yuheng Zi, and Moxuan Zi were still at the Coalesced Colors Hall. Yuheng Zi frowned tightly. He paced back and forth in the hall and said, "Senior Brother, in your opinion, do you still plan to transfer the energy from the seven of us to Xiao Chen? Now he has already got a trace of evil in his heart. Did you forget how Wu Nian fell into the Devil's Practice?"
"Alas..." Perfected Immortal Qing Chen shook his head and sighed. "Junior Brother Yuheng, you haven't changed after so many years. If you had a little more trust in Wu Nian in the past, how could he..." He shook his head and stopped here.
Yuheng Zi said, "Forget it!" "Anything you say, Sect Leader. I do not care!" He then swung his sleeve and went outside of the hall.
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen shook his head and sighed. Moxuan Zi said, "Senior Brother Yuheng has an abhorrence of evil. You don't have to be angry about it, Senior Brother Sect Leader. Speaking of which, that little girl Murong, did you find something special about her?"
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen narrowed his eyes. "In your opinion..."
Moxuan Zi smiled gently and walked to the door of the hall. Looking at the stars in the sky, he said, "The world is so big. Even if you and I have reached such a high level of cultivation, what we see may be only the tip of the iceberg. That girl, I'm afraid she is the legendary..."
The next day, Yu Yifeng went off to the Human World to get Qingfeng and Zi Mo back. Originally, Xiao Chen planned to go to the Human World with Yu Yifeng because he wanted to visit his father and many friends. However, he had to make plans for future things with Perfected Immortal Qing Chen, so he stayed at the Jade Qing Sect.
Seven days passed quickly. In the past seven days, quite a few sects were destroyed almost every day. The four Elders who were infused with Patriarch Guanshan's energy were almost half-devilized and they seemed invincible. Each sect they went, they would kill all its disciples and took their souls. They would also take the Spiritual Meridians of the Sect Leader and those elders by force.
Now that the East Continent had already fallen into chaos and everyone was frightened. Wherever the four Elders of the Skygale Sect went, blood flew like a river and the land was naked of grass. Many cultivators came to the Jade Qing Sect for help.
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen sat at the head of the hall with knitted brows because if things went on like this, the last goal of Patriarch Guanshan must be the Jade Qing Sect. Xiao Chen also had some misgivings. Yesterday he heard that Penglai Island in Zhou State was destroyed. In the end, Zhang Qinglian conducted the deliverance by a sword and then blew his own soul up. Yet, he seemed to have done no harm to the four Elders. One could imagine the incredible degree of the strength the four Elders had.
His biggest concern at this moment was the Teal Jade Sect. Although he only stayed at the Teal Jade Sect for a month, Liu Yunzheng and others treated him very well. Especially Liu Fenghuang, she could be said his first friend since he came to the Violet Manor.
When he was indulging in anxiety, suddenly a disciple came to report from outside. Obviously, another sect was wiped out. The disciple rushed in, followed by a girl in red. Xiao Chen immediately stood up. "Senior Sister Liu!"
The girl in red was exactly Liu Fenghuang whom he was worried about a moment ago. The eyes of Liu Fenghuang were very red and her tears had already stained her face. The moment when she saw Xiao Chen, she murmured, "Han... Junior Brother Han..." She fainted and sank to the ground before she could finish her words.
Xiao Chen moved in a flash and hurried to hold her up. Then they went to the back of the hall. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen pushed some True Energy into her body and she finally woke up slowly.
As soon as Liu Fenghuang woke up, she couldn't help crying again. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen comforted her, "Miss Liu, take it slow. Don't worry." Xiao Chen also said, "Senior Sister Liu, speak slowly. How about your father?"
Liu Fenghuang sobbed twice and cried. "Nothing is left... The Teal Jade Sect is gone... Senior Brother Mo escorted me out, but he was so seriously hurt that he also..." Speaking of which, her voice was choked with sobs.
In fact, since the appearance of Liu Fenghuang, Xiao Chen had already known that she might be the only one of the Teal Jade Sect who finally escaped. However, upon hearing this bad news, he still couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. If he hadn't taken the Fuxi Zither string, Liu Yunzheng would have escaped unscathed with his several True Disciples by using the power of the Fuxi Zither...
Suddenly, he remembered the scene when Liu Yunzheng gave him the dragon pill that night. At that time, Liu Yunzheng said to him, "Your Senior Sister Chu, Senior Sister Shen, and Senior Brother Mo... I gave all of them gifts a month after their acceptance into the Sect. How can you be any different?"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly, cracking knuckles. He really wanted to kill Patriarch Guanshan immediately. At this point, another disciple came to report from outside in a hurry. The disciple walked to the side of Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and whispered a few words to him. After hearing the words, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen immediately felt refreshed. He walked outside with Moxuan and Yuheng instantly after he arranged everything here.
Xiao Chen more or less guessed that Qingfeng and Zi Mo had arrived, then he said, "Senior Sister Liu, have a good rest. I'll avenge the death of Sect Leader Liu!" After that, he immediately went out.
In the Coalesced Colors Hall stood a cyan-robed old man with transcendent demeanor. Several elders there seemed to be very respectful to him. Many young disciples whispered together outside the hall, "Is him Martial Uncle Qingfeng?"
Qingfeng and Zi Mo had left the Jade Qing Sect for years. Those disciples who newly joined in recent years had never seen them. No wonder they couldn't recognize them at the moment.
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen went to the hall and hurried to greet him, "Junior Brother Qingfeng, you are really back!"
Qingfeng smiled gently. "We have not seen each other in decades. How are you, Senior Brother?" Then he gave a nod of greeting to Yuheng Zi and Moxuan Zi behind him and said, "Senior Brother Yuheng, Junior Brother Moxuan."
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen was so excited that his tears were nearly flooded his eyes. He said a stream of words, "Good! Good! It's good to have you back!" Numerous disciples outside the hall were totally amazed and they thought to themselves, "Sect Leader has never been so excited!"
Yuheng Zi shook his head and sighed. "Junior Brother, you and Junior Brother Xiaoyao walked away without saying a word. Aye..." In the end, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the four of them got together again. When they looked back, they found that they were so high-spirited when they were young. In those old days, all demons would immediately flee far away in a hurry once they heard the name of the Jade Qing Seven.
At this time, Xiao Chen also came out from the back hall. Seeing that Qingfeng was there, he immediately went forward and clasped his hands to greet, "Predecessor Qingfeng!" Xiao Chen was always very respectful to Qingfeng since he learned that Qingfeng saved him when he was a little baby.
Qingfeng nodded with a smile. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen looked out of the hall and asked, "What about Junior Brother Xiaoyao? Why isn't he here?"
When his voice just fell, a slightly playful voice sounded outside, "Well, grandpa Zi Mo is coming!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Chen's whole body trembled, and instantly he felt like crying but he couldn't shed a tear.
