After saying that, Ye Yuan immediately left. Xiao Chen took the opportunity to meditate and recover his physical condition.

While Xiao Chen was immersed in meditation, Ye Yuan ventured deep into the forest surrounding the valley.

It was a place where natural toxins and ancient beasts multiplied without disturbance.

The farther Ye Yuan went, the quieter his surroundings became.

Massive tree trunks towered into the sky, while roots protruding from the ground intertwined with one another, forming

    Upon arriving at the Black Shadow Sect, Meng Qianyue did not waste any time.She immediately headed toward the main meeting hall, where the elders and high-ranking members of the sect had already gathered to await the results of her investigation.The doors of the hall opened.Meng Qianyue stepped inside calmly, then stopped several steps in front of the row of seats occupied by the elders.Elder Qiao—Qiao Ye—who was seated in the main position, immediately directed his gaze toward her. “What were the results of your investigation?”Meng Qianyue cupped her hands before her chest.“My report is simple, Elder. After inspecting the ruins of the Blood Wolf Gang’s headquarters on North Hill in Red Mountain City, I discovered that the deaths of the gang members and the four envoys from the Black Shadow Sect were most likely related to the use of the Death Blood Palm Technique.”The atmosphere in the hall immediately became more serious.Meng Qianyue continued without changing her expression

    Xiao Chen’s footsteps echoed softly along the stone walkway of the Sky Sword Academy after he left the Northern Pavilion.The morning sunlight had already risen higher, warming the academy courtyard, which was beginning to fill with disciples of various ranks.Halfway along the journey, a thought suddenly crossed his mind—the monthly resource allowance that every official disciple of the academy was entitled to.Having been away from the academy for two years, Xiao Chen had naturally never claimed any of those resources.After thinking for a moment, he changed direction and headed toward the Academy Treasure Hall, where various medicinal pills, spirit stones, and cultivation materials were distributed to the disciples each month.The building was as busy as usual. Several disciples entered and left while carrying small porcelain bottles or cloth pouches filled with spirit stones.Xiao Chen went directly to one of the distribution counters. He took out his disciple identification jade

    Seeing Elder Gong appear, Guan Yu, who had still been wearing an annoyed expression, immediately became cheerful. The little girl turned around and trotted toward the elder, then tugged playfully at the sleeve of his robe.“Grandpa Gong! Look who finally showed up!” Guan Yu exclaimed, pointing her chin proudly toward Xiao Chen.Elder Gong glanced briefly at Xiao Chen, then turned his attention back to Guan Yu, who now appeared much more excited.The little girl gave a small snort before glancing at Xiao Chen again.“Let him organize all the scrolls scattered across this table as punishment for leaving without saying goodbye!” Guan Yu continued without waiting for an answer.After saying that, Guan Yu immediately walked away from the room with cheerful steps. The satisfaction on her face was difficult to hide, as if she had just completed some great mission.Xiao Chen could only shake his head at her behavior.Two years had passed, yet Guan Yu was still exactly the same as before.Elde

    The next morning, sunlight pierced through the gaps between the pine leaves within the Sky Sword Academy complex, casting a golden glow over the stone pathway.Xiao Chen put on his gray robe again, without wearing the hood, then stepped out of his room. He walked along the path leading toward the northern part of the academy complex—the Northern Pavilion.The morning air was cool. Dew still clung to the tips of the leaves, while the faint sounds of birds could be heard in the distance.The disciples had begun filling the academy’s pathways, some heading toward the training halls while others carried equipment for their respective duties.Xiao Chen walked past them without attracting too much attention. His face indeed looked much more mature than it had two years ago, but most of the disciples who saw him had no reason to connect the young man with someone who had disappeared from the academy for so long.Before long, a building with classic black-wood architecture came into view befo

    Xiao Chen’s footsteps along the stone path within the Sky Sword Academy complex felt light.The atmosphere of the academy welcomed him with the rustling of wind carrying the scent of pine leaves. A scent that had once felt so familiar now instead gave him a strange feeling after two years without setting foot in this place.Many things had changed during his absence. The buildings of the outer courtyard disciples’ pavilion appeared more magnificent, and several stone bridges that had once been cracked had now been repaired with polished white stone carvings.However, these physical changes were nothing compared to the social dynamics that had developed among the disciples.When Xiao Chen crossed the central courtyard, whispers and curious gazes began turning toward him. The dull gray hood covering half of his face had indeed succeeded in concealing his true identity from the crowd.However, the faint cold aura emanating from Xiao Chen’s body caused several senior disciples to frown su

    The atmosphere inside the main hall of the Black Shadow Sect in Ghost City grew increasingly oppressive.No one dared to regard their disappearance as a coincidence.Four Mid Martial Master Realm practitioners were not a force that could simply vanish without reason.Amid the heavy silence, a white-haired senior elder holding a wolf-head staff—Elder Qiao—Qiao Ye slowly raised his head.His wrinkled gaze swept across the faces of everyone seated around the table.“We must not speculate or act rashly based solely on empty assumptions,” the hoarse yet authoritative voice broke the silence. “If we immediately send a large force or our core elders, it will only attract the attention of other powerful factions out there. We must proceed carefully.”Elder Qiao slowly tapped the tip of his wolf-head staff against the stone floor.Tok!—“Before taking any action, we must first find out what actually happened at North Hill in Red Mountain City.”“If all four of our experts died at almost the sa
