Chapter 446 - Working Together (1/2)

Xiao Chan was stunned. A slightly piercing pain came from her right shoulder. Tears began welling up in her eyes as she bit her lips slightly, asking, “You don’t trust me?”

“Is what you said true?” Zhou Xuanji asked calmly, “Where did the old immortal come from?”

Xiao Chan felt wronged, and then she grew angry.

“Of course it’s true,” she replied with gritted teeth, “How would it benefit me to harm you? No one knows the background of that old immortal. He saved me when I was in danger before, and he was the one who taught me the way to cultivate! He was virtuous and definitely will not harm others!”

Zhou Xuanji kept his Truth Sword and smiled slightly, “I’m just joking!”

Xiao Chan was still angry. She looked at Zhou Xuanji with sad and angry eyes. Tears were about to flow at any time.

Bai Suwan flew up to her shoulder and smiled, “He’s worried that you might be disillusioned by the enemy. You know how powerful his enemies are? They could kill another person from ten miles away. The grand-teacher who nurtured him since he was young was the reincarnation of a slice of his enemy’s soul. That grand-teacher brought his mother up, which meant to say that his enemy had been scheming since his birth.”

Xiao Chan opened her eyes in disbelief and shuddered.

Her eyes were filled with sympathy toward Zhou Xuanji now.

Zhou Xuanji did not explain but asked her to lead the way.

Along the way, they witnessed many wars.

The Sovereign Demon Sect was warring against the other fiend races. Commoners were plundered and suffering.

There were ordinary living beings in the Great Thousand World as well, just that they had a stronger physique than those in the mortal realm.

The timing of the fiends’ invasion was extremely close to when Zhou Xuanji’s identity was exposed. He could not help but think about the correlation.

Four days later, they left the Sovereign Demon Sect’s territory.

There was only one monarchy in the Center God Province, and that was the Great Heaven God Dynasty.

Under the rule of the Great Heaven God Dynasty, there were no empires or kingdoms. Creating an empire without permission was a severe transgression. The Great Heaven God Dynasty had wide influence and the biggest territory in the Center God Province. However, they held no rein over the mortal realms. Mortal realms were controlled by sects and clans equally.

Xiao Chan said that no one knew the old immortal’s name. He lived in a mountain forest outside the southern border of the Great Heaven God Dynasty. It was pervaded with miasma, but the demons there were rather weak and fearful of him.

Zhou Xuanji walked carefully and avoided coming into contact with strangers, including demons.

Along the way, he sent Bai Suwan to collect intel from the cities.

After the Malicious Buddha attacked the Divine Cliff, he did not appear again. The Divine Cliff and Dao Heaven Sect reclaimed their peace, and lives still went on. However, the Divine Cliff was greatly weakened and was pressured by surrounding factions. Zhou Xuanji really wanted to help, but he could not.

What’s worth mentioning was that Shi Shenzong did not die. He tried to help the Divine Cliff but was captured by the Hegemon Sword Emperor.

There were just too many things happening in the Center God Province. Compared to it, the Northern Wilderness Region was just too small.

Bai Suwan could only collect limited intel, which made Zhou Xuanji feel that he needed to create a secret intel unit.

Today, he suddenly stopped.

Because he felt a familiar aura.

Baihao Yixin!

He had an idea and immediately rushed toward that aura.

A 100 miles away, Baihao Yixin was lying on the grassy hill. Six beautiful ladies were sitting beside him, playing with each other happily.

Zhou Xuanji suddenly landed on the top of the hill with his Qi Obscuring Incantation activated. However, Baihao Yixin still sensed Bai Suwan and Xiao Chan.

“The fragrance of a young lady…”

Baihao Yixin looked up, mesmerized. But behold, he saw Zhou Xuanji.

He leaped up in shock, and the ladies accompanying him screamed as well.

“Brat, why are you here?” He looked at Zhou Xuanji in vigilance and muttered.

He cursed in his heart. He was so unlucky.

It took him so much effort to run out and have some fun without Feng Gule’s nagging. And now, he had encountered this troublemaker.

“Where is Feng Gule?” Zhou Xuanji asked with a smile.

“He’s cultivating with This Emperor’s Revered Teacher,” Baihao Yixin said with a curled lip, “Why? You are not afraid that This Emperor’s Revered Teacher will find you? He really hates you!”

He glanced toward Xiao Chan and Bai Suwan, sighing in his heart.
