Chapter 162 Falling Flowers Valley

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Chen prepared everything, opened the door, and walk to the yard. Autumn was comfortable, and the sun was shining. He was about to call Li Muxue to go to the Coalesced Colors Hall when the voice of Murong Xian'er rose from behind. "Brother Xiao Chen, are you leaving?"

Xiao Chen turned and saw Murong Xian'er and Luo Shangyan standing side by side. He smiled gently and said, "Yes, the Patriarch Guanshan issue is imminent. I have to go ask predecessor Huashang back as soon as possible."

Luo Shangyan wanted to say something but she didn't say it. After a while, she said, "Are you going with Junior Sister Li?" Xiao Chen nodded. Luo Shangyan said, "Then you should be careful."

Xiao Chen smiled lightly. "Okay, I get it." He then walked outside the yard, called Li Muxue, and went to the Coalesced Colors Hall. The people in the hall who were headed by the Perfected Immortal Qing Chen were waiting here, but Yu Yifeng was not there. It seemed that he went to ask for Perfected Immortal Yanluo in the morning.

Perfected Immortal Qing Chen said some related matters, and summoned a Flying-cloud Stone, saying, "Junior Sister Huashang is stubborn. If she insists on not coming back, you should persuade her with nice words. Remember not to annoy her."

Xiao Chen thought that Huashang was one of the Seven Sons and at least at peak Core Forming Realm. He laughed and said, "Okay, I understand." He then boarded on the Flying-cloud Stone with Li Muxue.

He had mastered the essentials of controlling Flying-cloud Stone before. He flew south in accordance with the location indicated by the Perfected Immortal Qing Chen.

The breeze blew the face, and eight hours passed without knowing. It was about 5 p.m, and the sun was falling west. Xiao Chen looked down and found the aura of Spiritual Qi. He then chanted spells and let the Flying-cloud Stone descend slowly.

Falling on the ground, Xiao Chen removed the stone and walked with Li Muxue for about three kilometers before they saw a stone monument. The stone monument was not special, but it was carved with four words that made people stop: The trespassers will die!

Xiao Chen thought that predecessor Huashang left this to prevent outlanders from invading. He looked at Li Muxue and shouted to the valley, "I'm Xiao Chen, the disciple of Qingfeng. I come to visit predecessor Huashang!"

The sound spread for more than 5,000 meters and echoed in the valley. But no one responded to his voice. Xiao Chen thought if there was something wrong in the valley. Otherwise, according to what Qing Chen said before, as long as he said that he was a disciple of Qingfeng, someone should receive him. After waiting for a moment, he looked up and saw the sky was getting dark. He said, "Let's go in and check it out."

They walked to the valley. After walking for about two kilometers, they felt the breeze with the scent of flowers. In the distance, the clear stream was winding, the birds were humming, and the ancient vines coiled on the trees. The colorful flowers scattered on the ground. It was a beautiful place.

Although it was late autumn, the scenery in the valley was beautiful, and the ordinary people would be refreshed in this place. But there seemed to be sadness between his brows.

Somehow, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sorrow, as if he had really come here before, and he was so familiar with the flowers and trees here. He felt like being in a dream.

Since ancient times, there had been a saying that if you had been to a place in your previous life, you would feel something if you visit it again. At this moment, the feeling of Xiao Chen was just like this. They walked for some time and went into a bamboo forest. The sorrow in his heart was spread unscrupulously.

Looking at the bamboos, Xiao Chen wanted to cry out loud but cannot cry. Just like these bamboos, they seemed to be planted by him and someone else.

Li Muxue saw his face abnormal and asked, "What happened to you?"

Xiao Chen came to his senses, shook his head, and asked while seeing her face abnormal, "What happened to you?" Li Muxue shook her head and said, "I don't know how to say it. I always felt that I had been here before."

Xiao Chen was shocked. "Is it Weiyang?" Weiyang had been here. The words she left on the Cliff of Fallen Divinity: "I'm in the Loveless Valley..."

Loveless Valley, Heartless Palace, and Falling Flowers Valley! Was there any connection?

At this moment, all his thoughts were intertwined. There was a storm in his heart. If this was really the Loveless Valley, then Weiyang must have been here. But thousands of years had passed. It was something he could never reach.

He wanted to shout loudly at this moment, but Li Muxue was here. He could not show this kind of emotion. He put the sadness aside, walked through the bamboo forest, and there was a flower forest in front of him. Li Muxue seemed to be unhappy all the way, so he asked, "What happened?"

Li Muxue looked sideways and said, "Humph! You are thinking about someone else. It must be Huangfu Xin'er, right?"

Xiao Chen was a bit stunned and said, "No! Xin'er..."

Li Muxue pursed her mouth and looked like she was wronged greatly. "You call her so intimately, and you still said no. It's right. I heard that she also came to Violet Manor a few months ago. You must want to go meet her again. I was not around for some time, maybe you already..."

Xiao Chen was shocked. "Xin'er also came here?" However, he did not see her in the Skygale Sect last time. If she stayed in the Skygale Sect, what should he do?

Looking back, he found Li Muxue was gone. He turned around and saw her standing at his back, being angry. He smiled and said, "All right, Muxue..."

Li Muxue looked sideways and said, "Who is Muxue? What are we? Call me Miss Li!" Xiao Chen said in surprise, "Didn't you say that Miss Li sounds bad?"

Li Muxue pretended to be angry and snorted to the sky.

Xiao Chen smiled gently and walked back, taking her hand, saying, "Well, Miss Li, we should proceed, or it'll go dark. Then the leopard and worms in the mountains would all..."

Before his voice fell, he felt something flying on the left side. He swung his sleeve, and with a few noises, some silver needles stuck into the soil. The end of the silver needle was black. Obviously, they were very poisonous. If it weren't for his good Divine Sense, they would've been killed.

"Who is sneaking! Come out!"

This time was the same. Before his voice fell, a few silver needles arrived. The hidden weapons were sent very fast. They could only hear the sound and could not see their shadows. The person who sent them had extraordinary cultivation, and a normal barrier was hard to block them.

Xiao Chen took Li Muxue and jumped to the sky, standing on a tree. With a few sounds, several silver needles stuck on the trunk of the flower tree. Then, the tree withered instantly.

Xiao Chen was shocked because the weapon was so toxic. Obviously, the person aimed to take their lives. He was annoyed and said, "Who are you exactly? If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this time, a crisp, female voice in the deep forest rose. "Thief! When have you been polite!" As her voice fell, a dozen women in white flashed out of the forest with noise.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. Everyone was holding a sword, and their costumes were all the same as those of Chu Lingjiao's girls on that day. They should be disciples of the Heartless Palace. Their eyes were filled with resentment, and they just called him thief. It must have been caused by a misunderstanding. He landed to the ground with Li Muxue and clasped his hands. "Junior sisters, I'm..."

Before he could finish, a woman shouted, "Thief! Do you think that we cannot recognize you if you disguise like this?" Then, a dozen of them immediately formed a sword formation and trapped the two in the center.

A dozen long swords were shining in the sun, just like the golden snakes. Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. Although they only had average cultivation which was about Lv 2 or Lv 3 Foundation Building Realm and it was easy to defeat them, it would offend their master, Huashang, if he attacked them.

While thinking, a long sword suddenly moved. Xiao Chen worried that Li Muxue would be injured, so he caught the blade with two fingers, saying, "Junior sister, listen to me, I'm definitely not some..."

The woman wanted to draw back her long sword, but her strength was not as great as that of him. She was so angry, and the rest of them saw it and attacked after giving battle-cries. In an instant, the wind blew madly, and the sword shadows were moving in disorder.
