Chapter 362: Yan Qingyue’s abnormal behavior shocked Zhao Mu!
Although the two of them had not yet mastered the "Flicking Sleeves and Severing Shadows" technique, it was not a big problem for them to follow Chen Lingshan quietly without being discovered.
Just as Zhao Mu expected, Chen Lingshan ran towards the dark forest, and when she reached the edge, she had no intention of stopping and went straight into the depths.
We followed all the way until we finally stopped after almost three days.
This is very abnormal. How could it be possible for a willful young lady to travel for three days and three nights?
Obviously, something big happened in the Dark Forest, or perhaps some great opportunity was about to appear here.
The place where Chen Lingshan stayed was a small town of decent size. Walking on the streets of the town, she could find that it was full of cultivators, and their cultivation was not low. The Tiangang realm was considered very common here.
The Void Realm can be seen everywhere, and even the Four Extreme Realms can be encountered once in a while.
As for the Yin-Yang Realm, it has never been seen so far.
However, the two guessed that there must be a Yin-Yang Realm lurking in secret here. Apart from anything else, Chen Lingshan was definitely protected by a Yin-Yang Realm.
I couldn't find the inn because it was all full, even the dilapidated temple was occupied early.
Everything shows that something is not normal here.
In desperation, the two had to leave the town and look for a cave in the nearby mountains to spend the night.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight was gradually obscured by thick clouds.
In the dark cave, a bonfire suddenly lit up.
Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue sat side by side, the former fiddling with the barbecue in his hands, while the latter held her chin with both hands and watched the barbecue turning over and over on the campfire, but there was no sign of burnt meat. Her dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her bright eyes were full of confusion.
It's obviously the same action, but why does she always...
After a while, the fragrance gradually filled the cave.
"Eat it!"
Zhao Mu smiled and handed the barbecue in his hand to Yan Qingyue. The latter seemed to be impatient and immediately took small bites of it.
To some extent, Yan Qingyue and Senior Sister Daigua are indeed a bit similar.
Yan Bingqing would squint her eyes when she ate something delicious, and no matter how delicious the food was, she would always take small bites, chew it slowly, and maintain a ladylike demeanor.
But there are also differences. Yan Qingyue will eat by herself, while Yan Bingqing will hang on him, open her moist little mouth and say "ah~"
Senior Sister Daigua always liked him to feed her, and especially liked to watch him take a bite and then feed her a bite.
As for the little rich woman, she was completely different from the other two. She would take out a small knife and cut the meat while eating, and she would not forget to feed him while eating. If the meat juice splashed everywhere and the corners of her mouth were covered with grease, she would also use a handkerchief to carefully wipe it clean for him in time.
Just as Zhao Mu was daydreaming, a figure appeared beside the campfire. It was Xiao Lingxi who had been missing.
She stared at the freshly grilled meat in Zhao Mu's hand, her intention was self-evident.
"Here, eat!"
Zhao Mu shook his head and laughed, then handed the barbecue in his hand to Xiao Lingxi.
"I can't finish it, I'll give it to you!"
Yan Qingyue ate about one-third of the barbecue and returned it to Zhao Mu. There were still some obvious marks of being bitten by teeth on it.
???
This scene amazed Zhao Mu. It was the first time that Yan Qingyue made such a move.
In the past, she was unwilling to share a barbecue with him, even if she ate it first.
But now, not only is he willing to do so, he even deliberately leaves bite marks on the surface. What does this mean?
Wait, could it be...
Zhao Mu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Lingxi who was eating meat across the campfire. Suddenly, he understood something.
He suddenly remembered what Yan Qingyue had said at the inn before: If you become dirty, I won't want you anymore.
I thought she was joking, but it turned out... she was serious.
This ice goddess seems to have a strong possessiveness!
It was obvious that she was doing this for Xiao Lingxi to see.
Of course, this was probably also because the two of them had tried to blend their saliva together at the inn three days ago. Otherwise, Yan Qingyue would not have been able to do such an extremely intimate behavior.
As expected, when he took the barbecue from Yan Qingyue and started eating, Xiao Lingxi's movements paused for a moment.
But soon they continued to eat barbecue.
Half a minute later, Xiao Lingxi, having eaten and drunk her fill, added wood to the campfire and said,
"Don't take the risk of following Chen Lingshan anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Early when you followed her out of Phoenix City, Chen Lingshan had already discovered you. With your current level of Shadow-Breaking, you can't hide from the Yin-Yang Realm's detection."
Hearing this, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue looked at each other. It turned out that there was indeed a Yin-Yang Realm protecting Chen Lingshan in secret.
But it didn't matter if they were discovered. The two of them had always kept their distance, so they had enough time to react. They might not be as good as Xiao Lingxi in tracking, but they were not necessarily worse than her in hiding.
After all, Zhao Mu has made countless enemies since his debut, and his research and attainments in the art of concealment are quite high.
If he had been caught even though he had enough time to react, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
"Also, it's not advisable to stay here any longer. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. After all..."
Xiao Lingxi glanced at the two of them deeply, the meaning being self-evident: you are too weak to wade through this muddy water.
"Do you know something, or have you overheard something from that small town?"
Zhao Mu's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared straight at Xiao Lingxi.
This little thief's skill in the art of flicking her sleeves and cutting off shadows is extremely high, and she can almost hide completely. With her ability, Zhao Mu guessed that even a strong man in the realm of reincarnation might not be able to detect her.
After all, that night, this girl stole the little princess from the City Lord's Mansion of Jingcheng and threw her on him. The City Lord's Mansion was one of the seven first-class forces in Jingcheng.
There is a powerful person in the Reincarnation Realm in charge of the City Lord’s Mansion.
She must have gathered some information, which is why she reminded them to leave.
Can....
The unruly eldest daughter of the Chen family in Jingcheng came in person, and the number of immortal cultivators gathered in the small town was extremely unusual. People from the Four Extremes Realm and even the Yin-Yang Realm came one after another, which meant that what was going to happen next would be a big deal.
If it's chance...
To be honest, Zhao Mu didn't want to miss this kind of adventurous and exciting thing.
"The Secret Realm of Shenhuang Ridge is about to open. This is one of the greatest places of opportunity in the Dark Forest, and it only opens once every three thousand years..."
Xiao Lingxi didn't hide anything and directly explained the reason.
After listening to this, Zhao Mu suddenly understood Xiao Lingxi's concerns.
Although the Shenhuang Ridge Secret Realm has no requirements for entrants, as one of the greatest opportunities in the Dark Forest, if you don't have a first-class force behind you, it will be impossible to leave this place safely even if you really get something.
Instead of working hard to help others, it is better to give up.
Of course, there are also many people who know this but still flock to try their luck.
Because the absolute ruler of Phoenix City, the Phoenix Divine Sect, was founded because its ancestor obtained some kind of heaven-defying opportunity in the secret realm of Shenhuang Ridge. In just less than a thousand years of development, it became a first-class force, and in the next ten thousand years, it developed into one of the most powerful first-class forces near the Dark Forest.
Compared to the Seven River Valleys, the Bone Clan, and the Black Demon Villa, which were supported by top-tier forces from other states in the Dark Forest, the strength of the Phoenix Divine Sect was clearly a level higher.
