Chapter 35

By evening, the remains of Elder Xu Yunhe has been taken away by the Thousand Autumn Doors. However, the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Doors didnt retreat just because of it. Rather, they continued to search through the village thoroughly. In the end, they were unable to find any suspicious figures. After all, most of the people here have multiple years of history in the village. Thus, they could only depart bitterly.

This isnt a small matter, and it would surely generate billowing waves within Thousand Autumn Doors. This is the first time the low profile Three Realm Demonic Cult is operating against modus operandi in the span of the last ten years, revenging one of their own in such a savage matter. After the Thousand Autumn Doors informs the Immortal Alliance on the matter, the orthodox sects of the central continent could possibly start moving in the shadows.

However, to the villagers of the Clear Stream Village, who are just ordinary mortals, these matters are too far away from them. After the personnel from Thousand Autumn Doors retreats, Clear Stream Village quickly reverted to its past tranquil state. The only one who rages indignantly is the unlucky fellow who had the roof of his hut smashed. However, as he dares not to speak of it before the Thousand Autumn Doors, this incident can only end inconclusive.

Just that, in the eyes of a few people, it seems that a slight change has occurred in this peaceful village, and the tranquility it experienced before is slightly different from the current one.

Just like the many others, there isnt any changes to Lu Chens daily life. He still strolls around the village daily with a harmless smile hanging on his face. He looks like a youngster who looks forward to cultivating, but is unwilling to toil, and thus, is prepared to idle his life away.

He treats others kindly and has a harmonious relationship with most people in the village. Everyone knows him and likes him, but if one were to look into it carefully, it seems that there isnt a single one of them who is an intimate bosom of his.

Throughout the years, he has kept an amiable but distant relationship with most of the people as he quietly lives his life in the village.

When the sky darkens, he would always walk lonesomely back to the foot of the mountain, back to the forlorn-looking straw cottage.

For some inconceivable reasons, Lu Chen doesnt feel averse to the dark, unlike most of the people. Rather, he seems to prefer the dark. The onset of the dark night, as he lies within the straw cottage, seems to be the moment when he feels the most carefree.

In the depths of the shadows, ones thought would always end up wandering endlessly. One could reminisce their past, or conduct clandestine activities.

That night, from his dantian qihai, the reborn Five Element Divine Compass appears once again. Although this divine compass that was reforged by the final drops of water of vitality in the mysterious tree hollow is of exceedingly inferior quality, such that even a sect like Thousand Autumn Doors will shut his doors on him upon seeing such talent roots reflecting on the Immortal Discerning Mirror, Lu Chen is still delighted over it. That is, if only the Five Element Divine Compass didnt have another side to it.New novel chapters are published on

Lu Chen smiles as well and invites her in, Why would you suddenly think of coming to find me, is there something up?

Un. Ding Dang seems like she is in a good mood, as though something great has just happened to her. Facing Lu Chen, she asks, Can you do me a favor?

Lu Chen glances at her. Ding Dang suddenly flushes red, as though she is suddenly reminded of something. Slightly distressed, she smiles sheepishly, Keng, I havent gathered sufficient Spirit Stones yet. Is it alright if I repay you after some time?

Lu Chen shrugs casually and says, Dont worry too much about it, I am not in urgent need of money. So, what do you have for me today?

Ding Dang replies, Bring me to the Dragon Lake at the back of the mountain.

Dragon Lake?

Yes! Ding Dang nods her head forcefully and smiles radiantly.

Why would you want to go to the Dragon Lake? Lu Chen is bewildered. The road there is steep and long, and mountainous paths arent that easy to walk on. No one would be there on normal days, so why would you want to go there out of the blue?

Ding Dang chuckles. She seems to be unable to suppress the joy that can be seen between her brows, and she seems as though a proud chicken who had just laid an egg and cant wait to brag about it.

However, in the end, she pushes down the urge. Even so, the happiness continues to ripple in her eyes. To Lu Chen, she gently says, Ive heard that the scenery there is incredible, so I wanted to go over to take a look.

She shrugs helplessly and continues, I have been living in Clear Stream Village for a few years now, but I have never been to the tea mountain. I have heard that the mountainous paths are confusing, similar to a labyrinth. So, after thinking about it, you seem to be the only one who can help me.
