C156 Return to Mystical Peak

At the foot of the Mystical Peak, Han Chen stared blankly at the stairs leading up the mountain.

It had already been a full ten months since he had first headed for the psychedelic forest, and it had been almost half a year since he had parted with Shen Yu.

Thinking about Shen Yu, Han Chen couldn't help but think of that cute and spirited little face appeared in her mind. Following that, a great amount of gentleness emerged from Han Chen's eyes.

Compared to Qiao Feiyan, Han Chen's relationship could only be considered as love. As for the former, it was merely a friendship, not really a relationship. Therefore, in the instant he separated from Qiao Feiyan, Han Chen's heart was not as unwilling to part with him as it was back then.

"Brother, can I go with you?" Ming Ruo's voice came from behind him, the girl looked a little worried. Her lily-white hands gently rubbed Blacky's head as if she was trying to dispel the uneasiness in her heart.

"Of course." Han Chen said with a slight smile, and from between his brows, revealed a trace of pity, "You are my younger sister, so of course I will bring you along."

"But, but I'm not a disciple of the Mystical Peak, will they accept me?"

"Hmm?" Han Chen was startled at first, but then nodded: "Don't worry! I know Elder Mu, who is the guardian of the Spirit Gathering Tower. When I go and ask him for help, he probably won't refuse me. "

Begging was not Han Chen's nature, but he had promised to bring Ming Ruo along. So he would not abandon her no matter what. Of course, Han Chen was not 100% sure that Elder Mu would help him, so he was not completely sure. However, since things had progressed to this point, he could only take things one step at a time.

"Let's go!" Han Chen walked forward and patted Ming Ruo's shoulder, giving him a reassuring look.

"En!" Ming Ruo nodded her head, her face revealing a bright smile.

Returning to the Mystical Peak, Han Chen's main goal was to find the "Classic of Life and Death". The most precious martial arts technique in Mystical Peak. Only by obtaining it, would he be able to obtain information about his father, Han Langyu, from the Lambert. To Han Chen, this was equivalent to ascending to heaven.

Han Chen and Ming Ruo walked up the mountain, with Little White running excitedly behind them. Compared to Little Black, Little White did not seem to like being hugged. However, its intimacy with the two of them increased with each passing day.

"Who are you?" Halfway up the mountain, two disciples guarding the mountain gate blocked their path.

"My inner sect disciple, Han Chen."

"Han Chen?" The two of them were startled as they looked at each other and saw the astonishment on each other's faces. One of the slightly built disciples shouted in a low voice, "Are you really Han Chen?"

"That's right." Han Chen replied calmly.

"I heard that you went missing in the psychedelic forest, why did you come back so late?"

Missing? Han Chen was startled, he immediately shook his head and cupped his fists: "This matter is truly difficult to put into words."

The two guardian disciples conversed in a low voice, and another person spoke up, "Senior Brother Han Chen, because your situation is a bit special. "Could you allow us to report to the Ninth Elder first?"

Ninth Elder was the person with the highest seniority in the outer sect. Han Chen thought to himself, then looked at Ming Ruo, who was beside him, and nodded: "Thank you two."

"Mn, Senior Brother Han Chen, please wait here for a moment."

A moment later, in a simple yet elegant lobby. Han Chen and Ming Ruo stood in the great hall, waiting for the arrival of the Ninth Elder.

Han Chen naturally saw through the other party's worry and comforted him, "Don't worry! If Mystical Peak doesn't accept your words, Big Brother will accompany you to leave. "

Ming Ruo was startled, her face was full of disbelief: "Big Brother, you?"

"Well, I won't leave you behind." Han Chen replied seriously.

At this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the door. The two of them were shocked. They saw that there was not only Patriarch Nine, there was also another old man. Han Chen recognized this person, he was Elder Song He, who was protecting the Martial Skill Pavilion.

"Disciple Han Chen greets Ninth Elder, Elder Song He." Han Chen cupped his fists and respectfully bowed. Ming Ruo, on the other hand, seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, and was slightly afraid.

"No need to be so polite." The Ninth Elder waved his hand, and some astonishment appeared on his indifferent and elegant face, "It's been a year since we last met, Han Chen, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, it's truly a cause for celebration."

The two elders still vividly remembered Han Chen was their disciple. During the induction ceremony for the inner disciples last year, Xue Chuan was killed in front of everyone at the Dayuan Platform. And he had replaced the other party as the number one person in the outer sect.

"Ninth Elder Miao, you've done it." Han Chen replied humbly.

"Han Chen, the last time you went to the psychedelic forest to complete a mission, why did you only return now?" The one who spoke was Elder Song He.

Both of Han Chen's eyes congealed, he paused for a moment, and then roughly recounted what happened at psychedelic forest back then. But he concealed the fact that he had been saved by Yu Fenglan, and only said that he had fallen off a cliff and escaped with his life. After recuperating from his injuries, he returned to Mystical Peak.

Hearing Han Chen's explanation, Song He and Ninth Elder both frowned. The latter said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect that there would be people who would harm fellow disciples in the inner sect. What a pity, what a pity."

Elder Song He let out a similar light sigh, and looked at Han Chen meaningfully. "Since that's the case, then you should return to the inner sect as soon as possible! You can complain to the inner sect elder about the person who beat you down the cliff. They won't ignore you. "

"Yes." Han Chen nodded in agreement, then spoke out, "Disciple has one more thing to request of the two elders." He turned and pointed at Ming Ruo, "Elders, this is my younger sister, her background is miserable. I hope the two elders can agree to let me bring her to the inner sect. "

The two of them had noticed Ming Ruo long ago, but after hearing what Han Chen said, they couldn't help but start to observe him seriously. The Ninth Elder raised her eyes, her brows suddenly relaxed as an unfathomable expression emerged on her face. On the other hand, Elder Song He's expression also changed. He looked at the Ninth Elder and nodded in agreement.

Han Chen started to mutter in his heart, he took a deep breath and continued, "I hope the two elders can fulfill my wish."

"According to the rules, she cannot stay in my Mystical Peak." Ninth Elder replied, causing Han Chen and Ming Ruo's heart to immediately sink to the bottom. "However, before they could react, Patriarch Nine's voice came again." However, there is always an exception to everything. Today, I will make an exception and let you bring her to the inner sect. "

Han Chen was instantly overjoyed in his heart, and even did not dare to believe the words that were being whispered to his ear. He quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Ninth Elder."

Ming Ruo was equally happy, and also bowed: "Ming Ruo thanks the two elders."

Elder Song He waved his hand. "Alright, there's no need to say any more words of thanks. At that time in the psychedelic forest, Han Chen, you saved your comrades' lives, and you also protected the face of our sect when fighting against the disciples of Silver Heaven Palace. Therefore, we should fulfill your condition. "

Han Chen was slightly surprised, he didn't think that the things he did back then would reach the ears of the two elders. But now that he thought about it, that person really didn't have any white hair power.

Han Chen and Ming Ruo then paid their respects to the two elders and walked towards the inner sect.

In the main hall, Song He's gaze was slightly focused as he said sincerely, "Yun Qing, who do you think will be the seat of the little girl?"

"I'm not sure about that. Did you notice those two little beasts just now? " Yun Qing was Ninth Elder's name, she replied.

"If my guess is not wrong, that white beast should be a Thunder Elemental Lion. As for that black beast, I can't tell. Do you know what kind of creature's cub it is? "

"I can't tell either." Yun Qing shook her head. With a wave of her long sleeve, she said, "This year's inner disciples are much more outstanding than last year's. Just Qi Condensation disciples alone are already forty to fifty."

"That's right!" This time, the inner sect was in an uproar. The three year spirit realm competition is coming soon, I really wonder if my Mystical Peak would be able to produce such a shocking person like Mo Hen. "

Song He let out a sigh. He raised his head to look at the sky, and his cloudy old eyes revealed traces of regret.

In the inner sect of Mystical Peak, it was already evening.

In a spacious and tidy hall, the tables on all four sides were filled with delicious food and wine. Cheers and laughter filled the atmosphere, making it seem as if the atmosphere was very lively.

"Little Monkey, Xiao Wen, congratulations on becoming inner sect disciples. "I've finally been waiting for you guys to come, haha." Dawei raised the wine cup in her hand to congratulate the two of them.

Xin Lan and Wu Jun also picked up their cups, smiling happily, a few of them were drunk.

Unknowingly, a year had passed. From the time the inner disciple was selected, 12 years had quietly passed. The passage of time passed so swiftly that no one would be able to catch him and they would be unable to hold on even if they wanted to.

Both Xiao Wen and the little monkey did not disappoint, and with their level of cultivation at the 2nd level of the Refinement Realm, they entered the inner sect. In this batch of rookies, it was a very outstanding existence.

"Eat more food. This was specially bought by Senior Brother Wu Jun from Profound Mountain City." Xin Lan said with a faint smile as she grabbed food for Xiao Wen.

After a year, everyone's strength had increased significantly. Wu Jun levelled up from the third level of the Refinement Realm to the seventh. Xin Lan and Da Wei had also levelled up from the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage to the fifth level. The inner sect's training conditions were much better than the outer sect's, but what was fortunate was that these friends could gather together again.

"If Han Chen is here, then we really have gathered." Xiao Wen sighed lightly, and said casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the table became a little dejected. They looked at each other. All of a sudden, he had fallen into a low tide.

Xin Lan pursed her red lips, a glimmer seemed to flash in her eyes, and she forced a smile, "Alright, let's eat, the food is getting cold."

The few of them were silent. The joy in their hearts had mostly disappeared.

However, at this time, a hearty and familiar laughter was heard from outside the door. "Haha, friends are here. Am I late? "
