Chapter 356 (1/2)

Yan Tianhen answered, “My Dage went hunting in the back mountain. My Dage made all the food these days.”

Esteemed Lan Yue spoke, “Go and see if he has come back.”

“Okay.” Yan Tianhen nodded and ran out.

After Yan Tianhen left, Esteemed Huai Yu’s casual expression instantly became grave.

“Senior Martial Brother, before you coaxed me into coming here, you never mentioned that the Five Continents’ barrier can only allow people to enter and not leave, and even Profound Realm cultivators cannot break it.” Esteemed Huai Yu’s expression turned a little ugly.

That made sense; no one would be happy to find out that such an important matter had been concealed from them.

Esteemed Lan Yue flatly responded, “It’s true that I hid this matter from you and have wronged you, but you should know why I had no choice but to use Ah Hen’s trail to lure you over.”

Esteemed Huai Yu had a dark expression. “I don’t know, and now I don’t think it’s very necessary.”

Esteemed Lan Yue explained leisurely, “You had already become madman at that time, and your life star was about to fall down. The only way to escape from death lied in the Five Continents. Over the years, I have spent more energy on you than anyone else. If it weren’t for you being my Junior Martial Brother under the same Master, do you think I would take care of you?” Esteemed Huai Yu kept his mouth shut, not daring to make a sound.

Esteemed Lan Yue continued, “You’ve been fighting Yan Zhonghua so hard over these years that you’ve spent too much energy. It would be better to come to the Five Continents to have a rest first. It’s not too late to slaughter your way back when you’ve preserved and nurtured your spirit.”

Esteemed Huai Yu wasn’t truly angry with Esteemed Lan Yue either. He sighed, “Senior Martial Brother, I know you are doing this for me, but I still have a lot of important things to deal with in the demon realm. Now that I can’t get out of the Five Continents, those matters naturally can’t be dealt with, so I feel anxious.”

Esteemed Lan Yue asked, “Is your so-called ‘important matter’ vying for territory or fighting with the other Demon Venerables?”

Esteemed Huai Yu’s face was full of bewilderment, “You mean the sole purpose of fighting isn’t to snatch territory?”

Esteemed Lan Yue, “…”

That’s why he thinks it’s better for You Ming to stay in the Five Continents.

Esteemed Lan Yue narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you haven’t revealed anything?”

“How can a person as cautious as me be easily exposed?”

Esteemed Lan Yue studied him suspiciously.

Esteemed Huai Yu sighed, “Don’t worry. When have I not heeded your warnings?”

“When have you ever not made me worry?”

Esteemed Huai Yu, “…” It does seem like he’s always been causing trouble for his senior martial brother.

Esteemed Huai Yu decided to change the subject.

“Senior Martial Brother, did you really agree to let these younger generation fellows go to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest together?” Esteemed Huai Yu frowned. “The present appearance of the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest is not suitable for travel at all. Perhaps it’ll become like the Five Continents’ situation, only allowing entry and prohibiting exit.”

“Don’t tell me that they shouldn’t go if it only allows entry and not exit?” Esteemed Lan Yue asked lightly.

Esteemed Huai Yu took a deep breath, “If a single farewell is a farewell for eternity, it’s better to slowly wait for death together.”

Esteemed Lan Yue was somewhat astonished, “Your previous thoughts were quite radical. You would rather break than bend. This doesn’t seem like something you would say.”

Esteemed Huai Yu smiled, “Senior Martial Brother, people’s thoughts will change.”

In the past, he felt that love was the most crucial thing and reigned supreme. As long as love was engraved on the hearts of two people and they genuinely loved each other, all other evil monsters and untold dangers were nothing to fear.

However, reality gave him a heavy and painful blow.

Never again could he be that Demon Venerable You Ming who could do as he pleased and dared to love and hate.

Right now, he was just a father who hoped his child could survive and live well.

When Esteemed Lan Yue saw that Esteemed Huai Yu had become like this and had changed so much from his original thoughts, he could not help feeling distressed and regretful. In the end, he still liked that confident and carefree junior martial brother who did whatever he wanted.

As if all the changes were due to Yan Zhonghua.

But what did Yan Zhonghua do wrong?

Sometimes, right and wrong in this world are unclear.

Esteemed Lan Yue nonchalantly revealed, “Don’t you want to leave the Five Continents? I pried into heaven’s secrets and learned that one of the possibilities for opening this Five Continents’ barrier is in this Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”

Esteemed Huai Yu’s expression changed.

When Yan Tianhen returned with Lin Xuanzhi, Esteemed Lan Yue had already left first.

Without waiting for the two people to speak first, Esteemed Huai Yu asked, “I heard that you two plan to go to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest?”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “We have this intention and it has already been decided.”

Esteemed Huai Yu said disapprovingly, “You guys aren’t going to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest because of that reward from the Yuan family, are you now?”

Yan Tianhen answered, “We will still go even if there is no reward from the Yuan family. So many mercenaries have failed to find the Icy Water Lotus and Colorful Caterpillar Grass in the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, and Yuyang Gege’s body cannot endure for much longer. Naturally, we have to go there ourselves.”

“You also said that so many professional mercenaries failed.” Esteemed Huai Yu’s expression didn’t look good. “Where do you get the confidence that you can get in and out alive?”

Yan Tianhen rubbed his nose and blinked, “My Dage is here ah.”

Esteemed Huai Yu was even more displeased, “Don’t tell me that your Dage can guarantee that he can get in and out alive?”

Lin Xuanzhi answered lightly, “I can’t guarantee it.”
