Chapter 337: Chapter 139: Strike Across the Darkness, The Holy Spirit Ancient Tree Underground! _5
Having stayed with Chen Chang’an for so long, this was the first time that Mao Ruxue had seen such a sacred elder brother.
Holy and powerful!
He was like an ancient divine spirit descending upon this heaven and earth at this moment.
As Mao Ruxue said these words, Chen Chang’an in the sky also retracted his Dharma Body.
He walked in mid-air, took a step and came down, asking:
"What is it, Junior Sister?"
"Elder Brother, is it really you?" Mao Ruxue waved her hands in front of Chen Chang’an, asking uncertainly.
It’s not surprising that she felt this way, because Chen Chang’an at this moment was truly extraordinary.
Can you imagine the boundless sky being forcefully retreated by someone?
Mao Ruxue never thought it would be possible, but here it was, in reality!
"You silly girl, who else could it be if not me?"
Seeing a skeptical Mao Ruxue, Chen Chang’an immediately flicked her forehead in annoyance.
Sometimes Chen Chang’an really didn’t understand where Mao Ruxue got these outrageous ideas from.
"Elder Brother, stop hitting me~!"
Mao Ruxue pouted immediately after Chen Chang’an flicked her forehead.
She had a premonition that if this continued, she would one day be knocked silly by her Elder Brother.
Damn Elder Brother!
"This old man thanks Immortal Master for saving his life~!"
At this moment, Chen Yi’s father came forward and respectfully conveyed his gratitude towards Chen Chang’an.
Chen Chang’an shook his head and said:
"Brother Chen, there is no need for this. Helping those in need is what we cultivators should do."
"Besides, you are Chen Yi’s father. If I did not help, I would likely have failed in getting through to him."
At the end of his words, Chen Chang’an cracked a joke.
"I still owe much gratitude for Immortal Master saving my life."
Father Chen didn’t take Chen Chang’an’s words to heart. How could he not be grateful for such a life-saving favor?
Moreover, during the previous conversation, he had learned that Chen Chang’an had taken in Chen Yi.
This was also a great favor!
"Brother Chen, this is our first time in the Great Wilderness and we are unfamiliar with this place."
"If you want to show gratitude, how about acting as our guide for the next few days?"
After thinking, Chen Chang’an made this proposal.
"Yes~!"
Hearing the words, Father Chen readily nodded his head.
Woo Woo Woo~!
At this time, Chen Chang’an entered the temple.
Because of his presence, all creatures in the temple trembled with unease.
They all watched Chen Chang’an in fear, slowly retreating with each step he took.
Although not as intelligent as demonic beasts, these wilderness creatures were also capable of intelligent thought.
They had all witnessed the scene of Chen Chang’an single-handedly confronting the darkness just now, and they had felt it intimately.
The great terror of the dark sky was already enough to pose a lethal threat to them, but now there was a being who could resist the dark sky single-handedly.
Which of the two was more terrifying? Wasn’t it clear at a glance?
So, they were all afraid.
But thankfully, Chen Chang’an seemed to have no interest in them. He simply led the others back to where they had been before and sat down quietly, waiting for the dawn.
Yes, waiting for the dawn.
Although Chen Chang’an had driven back the darkness, it was only a temporary measure.
If he wanted to cross the endless darkness on his own, that was possible.
But if he wanted to take Mao Ruxue and others with him, that would be impossible. The danger would increase significantly, and Chen Chang’an did not want to take such a risk.
There was nothing to do but wait for dawn, which was only a few hours away. Waiting wasn’t a problem.
Giggle~ giggle~ giggle~!
The night passed without a word~!
Soon, with the appearance of a crowing rooster that seemed to come from nowhere in the world, a gentle sunlight shone through at the horizon.
Then, a round sun gradually rose in the sky. After the sun rose, the day in the Great Wilderness gradually brightened.
Daybreak had arrived.
"Let’s go."
When the sky was fully bright, Chen Chang’an said to the group.
At this moment in the temple, besides them, there was no one else.
As for the wild beasts, they had all hurried away as soon as the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon.
Part of this was due to their fear of Chen Chang’an, and the other part was based on the Law of the Great Wilderness.
During the night when darkness descends, the wild beasts do not fight each other. This situation lasts until an hour after dawn the next day.
An hour after the sky has become slightly bright, the slaughter between heaven and earth begins again.
This is the law that all creatures in the Great Wilderness follow and accept as default.
With Father Chen joining, the group’s pace greatly quickened.
It took them less than a day to reach Chen Yi’s village just before dusk.
The village was called Xiaohe Village, a small village leaning on the slope of the Great Wilderness Mountain, with around 200 individuals and presumably over 50 households.
Honestly, such a village was not small, especially considering the conditions of the Great Wilderness Mountain.
"Immortal Master, please~!"
The arrival of Chen Chang’an’s party attracted the attention of many villagers. They looked at the legendary Immortal Master curiously.
Then, upon hearing from Father Chen about how Chen Chang’an single-handedly resisted the darkness, their curiosity towards Chen Chang’an and his party turned into endless admiration.
