Chapter 320: Chapter 137: Setting off to the Great Wilderness, Junior Sister Returns Home!_1
"However, kid, if you’re really set on going, I suggest you make some preparations first."
Ren Xu continued, after a moment’s pause.
The saying ’don’t leave when it’s dark’ in Dafang Wilderness is not just spoken words. If you’re not adequately prepared, you might not even know how you died."
"As for me, I couldn’t care less because I’ve lived long enough. There’s nothing regrettable about dying."
"But it’s different for you. You’re in the prime of your life. If you pass away just like that, I don’t know how many young ladies will cry their hearts out."
"Maybe one even commits suicide out of grief. That would be quite the drama."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but slap Ren Xu:
"Old man, shut your crow’s beak."
This obnoxious old man, what on earth is he thinking about?
However, despite his harsh words, Chen Chang’an felt that Ren Xu’s advice was necessary.
Entering Great Wilderness alone is a risk not even Yin Tianshi might dare to take.
If he, a "weakling" Heavenly Venerate, were to blunder his way in, he probably wouldn’t even know how he died.
But, what should he prepare if he wanted to enter the Great Wilderness?
After looking around, Chen Chang’an finally came to the conclusion that there didn’t seem to be anything to prepare for.
Self-defense weapons?
What a joke. If his Dharma can’t defend him, then any weapon would be useless.
Evil-resistant elixirs?
That could be useful.
As a Ninth Stage Heavenly Venerate, Chen Chang’an isn’t afraid of anything. But Mao Ruxue and the others won’t be as fearless. If trouble arises, it could prove chaotic.
Therefore, it’s still necessary to be cautious.
What else?
Alright, he’d just bring some food.
After contemplating, that was what Chen Chang’an ultimately decided.
The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The night was silent.
About three days later, Chen Chang’an called Mao Ruxue and the others.
"Where’s Chen Yi?"
Chen Chang’an asked, as he noticed Chen Yi was not among them.
"Senior Brother, isn’t Chen Yi with you? We came this morning planning to greet him, but he wasn’t around."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue and the others asked, somewhat confused.
"No." Chen Chang’an shook his head.
He hadn’t seen anyone all morning, let alone Chen Yi.
The next moment, Chen Chang’an released his divine sense over the mountain, then throughout the Tianshui territory, in search of Chen Yi. However, he was nowhere to be found.
"Could he have gone down the mountain?" Chen Chang’an wondered.
He extended his divine sense over a broader range across the entire Tianshui domain in search of Chen Yi.
"Hmm?"
The next moment, he found Chen Yi, but the scene playing out before him caused his brows to furrow.
"Senior Brother, what’s wrong?" Mao Ruxue asked immediately upon seeing Chen Chang’an furrowing his brows.
"It seems like some trouble has occurred."
"Come with me!"
Chen Chang’an commanded.
Then he took a step and went toward the horizon.
"Senior Brother, wait for us." Seeing Chen Chang’an leaving, Mao Ruxue and the others quickly followed him.
Although Lin Qingxue couldn’t fly yet, she could follow at a fast pace with the aid of her Daoist magic.
Soon, the trio arrived above a dense forest.
Below them, a dispute was taking place.
There were two parties involved in the dispute, one of which was the missing Chen Yi, but he was not alone.
Behind him, a cyan bird was lying on the ground. Its wings were bleeding, apparently injured.
The other party was a group of men with high cultivation levels, all at least Third to Fourth Stage Dharma Appearance Realm.
They were not members of the Tianshui Sect nor were they from the neighboring sects that Chen Chang’an knew well. They were Loose Cultivators.
Among the men, the one who appeared to be the leader pointed at Chen Yi and spoke,
"Kid, this is Tianshui’s territory, we don’t want to fight here."
"But, don’t force us. That Xuan bird was defeated by us. It’s only right that we get the spoils."
"If you keep being stubborn and stand in our way, then don’t blame us for being rude."
"No, I won’t let you succeed!"
Hearing their words, Chen Yi was furious. He spread his arms out, shielding the large bird behind him.
"Qingyu is my friend, not your spoil of war. I won’t let you hurt it!"
"If you want to hurt Qingyu, you have to step over my dead body!"
"Junior Sister, what’s going on? Do you guys know?"
At this moment, Chen Chang’an, who was floating in mid-air, asked Mao Ruxue and the others beside him.
"Senior Brother, I’m not too sure actually."
Mao Ruxue shook her head but then seemed to recall something and continued,
"However, Senior Brother, a few days ago, I overheard some of our fellow disciples talking about something."
"They said that Chen Yi was able to travel from the Great Wilderness to the Central Continent because a Cyan Bird helped him."
"This Cyan Bird carried him here."
"I don’t know whether this is true or not. I just heard them say this."
After finishing, Mao Ruxue looked at Chen Chang’an, seeking an explanation in her eyes.
Since ancient times, humans and monsters have been at odds, especially such wild beasts. She didn’t quite believe this story.
