Chapter 105: The mountain road twists around each new peak

At dawn, the horizon revealed a trace of marble white color of the dawn, but the sky of Cloud Mist Sect was still dark.

Flame Devil was sitting cross-legged outside the gate of Purple Cloud Courtyard. In former days, in underground Ghost Market, his status of aloof and no one dared to look down upon him, but now he was most willing to be a gatekeeper.

After staying in Purple Cloud Peak for this period of time, he felt that the gains of this time period were still greater than the gains of the seclusion cultivation of ten years.

Ye Chuan not only helped him to resolve his heart demon calamity, but also made his mind tranquil. In the daytime, he would be busy to plant the medicinal herbs on the mountain, and in the night, he would act as a gatekeeper. This kind of leisurely, carefree and feeling at ease and justified feelings was something he had never obtained in the past when he was wandering all around.

Flame Devil liked this kind of feelings. With this kind of insipid life, he got the clear understanding of himself, and even had already begun to make preparation to rebuild his Scorching Sun Body, restoring his lost confidence.

The sky quickly got brighter, but Flame Devil still sat cross-legged without making any sound as if an old monk sitting in meditation.

Whoosh!

At that time, an ill wind suddenly blew in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak, flickering the candlelight.

Flame Devil abruptly opened his eyes, and happened to see the spirit of Ye Chuan which was harnessing the ill wind, urgently rushing into Purple Cloud Courtyard. His spirit was dim and aura was also disorderly, appeared to have fled in confusion after bearing a severe injury.

Flame Devil had never seen such appearance of Ye Chuan, so hastily getting up, he rushed after this spirit and arrived at the study.

Under the dim light of Cyan Lotus Lamp, the spirit and body of Ye Chuan combined into one. And sure enough, Ye Chuan looked pale and his gaze was somewhat dull. Now he didn’t have the demeanor of former days.

“Noble son, noble son Ye, are you injured?”

Flame Devil was greatly alarmed in his heart, and immediately got nervous.

The cultivation realm of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but in the view of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan was a real knowledge was not showy, moreover, he could predict like a prophet, and could seek luck and avoid calamity. What kind of great devil could injure Ye Chuan so severely? Could it be that an extremely powerful Great Devil or the formidable enemy of Cloud Mist Sect who wants revenge against the sect came to Cloud Mist Mountain Range?

Thinking this, Flame Devil who could walk unhindered in underground Ghost Market in former days couldn’t help but be perturbed.

Ye Chuan didn’t reply, and only after a good while as if he slowly came back to his senses, a little bit of his demeanor was restored, then he instructed, “Yi Yangzi, go, close the gate of Cloud Mist Courtyard.”

“Yes!”

Flame Devil bowed receiving the order. Although Ye Chuan didn’t answer directly, but hearing his such words, he was sure of his guess, Ye Chuan must have met with an extremely powerful adversary. And just when he was about to walk out, he suddenly turned around and said, “Noble son, should we activate the restriction? Let this old slave use all of my energy to activate the defense restriction of Purple Cloud Peak in full power until you are better.”

Ye Chuan had difficulties, so Flame Devil didn’t decline to shoulder a responsibility and was ready to risk everything including his own life too.

“No need, be sure to just close the gate, but everything else should be as usual. If someone come up the mountain to search and interrogate, let them come.” Ye Chuan answered.

He was sure that Third Elder Bai Yanhu wouldn’t let this matter drop and he would go all around to investigate his (Ye Chuan) whereabouts and identity. And at this time, if he activates the defense restriction, wouldn’t that be confessing without being pressed?

“Noble son, rest assured, this old slave understand.”

Flame Devil turned around and left in a rush, then closing the gate of Purple Cloud Courtyard, he continued to calmly sit in the doorway. Sure enough, not long after, when the sky was slightly bright, a large group of people with ferocious aura came up the mountain and they kept searching every corner of Purple Cloud Peak, looking for the so-called the assassins of Black Cauldron Sect.
