Dan Ding Sect.
Back Mountain Hunting Grounds.
“Senior Brother, wait.”
“What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Shen Wuque is leading the way ahead. It has been ten days since they entered the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, and they have slain countless demonic beasts along the way, scattering their souls and annihilating their spirits.
They are also getting closer and closer to the Second Circle Range of the hunting grounds. Just as Shen Wuque was about to continue exploring ahead, Liang Sheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Something’s not right.
Why is there no sound at all?
Although their journey has been extremely smooth, Liang Sheng has not let his guard down and remains extremely cautious.
“Senior Brother, don’t you think it’s a bit too quiet here?”
Shen Wuque only realized after Liang Sheng reminded him, as their journey had been so smooth that he had become unperceptive.
Indeed, this was the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, where not only demonic beasts were common, but also various wild beasts and birds. So why had it suddenly become so quiet?
“Retreat.”
Shen Wuque made the decision immediately, and Liang Sheng did not hesitate at all. Hearing Shen Wuque’s command to retreat, they both turned around and retreated the way they came.
Perhaps they were just too nervous and imagining things, but regardless, Liang Sheng absolutely would not take any risks.
Fortunately, Shen Wuque shared the same mindset, so Liang Sheng didn’t have to waste any words convincing him to leave the Back Mountain Hunting
Grounds.
Their return journey went smoothly as well, and they soon reached the entrance to the hunting grounds. Only then did they relax and breathe a sigh of relief.
It had taken them ten days to enter the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, but now they had returned in just half a day.
However, even though they were almost safe at this point, their expressions were still rather grim, as the situation on their way back was the same as when they were outside the Second Circle.
Everything was quiet and eerily silent.
What had happened within the hunting grounds?
After they returned to the entrance, they discovered that there were already quite a few people like them who had noticed something was amiss and returned to the sect ahead of time.
As they arrived, more and more people returned from the hunting grounds, and everyone’s faces looked rather gloomy.
Liang Sheng faintly heard words like “spiritual tide” and “riot,” but before he could make any inquiries, Xiang Chen appeared in front of them with a dark expression on his face.
Since Liang Sheng and Shen Wuque had already notified the Internal Affairs Office, Green Cloud Peak would be informed the moment they left the hunting grounds.
This is why Xiang Chen was currently leading them back to Green Cloud Peak with a dark expression, Shen Wuque barely had time to pinch Liang Sheng, then put on a smile, only to hear Xiang Chen’s icy voice.
“Come with me.”
Shen Wuque felt somewhat helpless in his heart, while Liang Sheng pretended to look confused and innocent as he followed behind Xiang Chen, heading back to Green Cloud Peak.
Xiang Chen didn’t say a word the entire way, and Shen Wuque cautiously sent a message to Liang Sheng, “Junior brother, if there’s any problem later, just blame it on me. I’m already used to it anyway.”
“Huh?”
Isn’t that a bad idea?
Seeing Liang Sheng’s expression, Shen Wuque straightened his back and showed a bold and heroic demeanor.
Second elder brother will bear it all alone, junior brother does not need to worry.
Just as Liang Sheng and Shen Wuque were being led back to Green Cloud Peak by Xiang Chen, there was finally some movement in the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds. Soon after they left, an announcement was made for all disciples to leave the hunting grounds immediately.
In just a single day, after confirming that all the disciples had left, the entire Back Mountain Hunting Grounds was closed off and the protective array was fully activated.
A few days later, Liang Sheng, who was staying at Welcoming Guest Peak, finally learned the situation of the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds. At that time, he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Why was it that every time he began to settle down and cultivate, something unexpected would happen around him? He was gifted with the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, not a born disaster. Why was his cultivation journey so full of twists and turns?
Of course, this was Liang Sheng’s state of mind a few days later. Right now, he and Shen Wuque were simply following behind Xiang Chen obediently as they returned to Green Cloud Peak.
When they finally landed on the summit of Green Cloud Peak, Jin Quanxiu was not at his Cave Mansion. Shen Wuque’s face changed, and he immediately made up his mind to admit his mistakes wholeheartedly.
Since Jin Quanxiu was not there, Xiang Chen would have the final say. Shen Wuque would not let himself be at a disadvantage at this time, as he was already experienced in such situations.
Shen Wuque’s attitude, however, seemed to deprive Xiang Chen of any opportunity to vent his anger, and Liang Sheng watched with his eyes wide and his mouth agape.
Such an admirable example of resilience, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but admire secretly in his heart. Truly, he was like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water.
However, Xiang Chen quickly regained his composure and refused to fall for Shen Wuque’s tactics. He was determined to teach Shen Wuque a lesson this time.
He absolutely couldn’t let his junior brother follow the same crooked path as Shen Wuque. Therefore, for the next period of time, Xiang Chen didn’t stop offering verbal reprimands.
Shen Wuque didn’t expect Xiang Chen to be so stubborn this time, refusing to let go unless he admitted his mistake.
What on earth was going on?
But at that moment, someone came to rescue Shen Wuque. It was Feng Yida, who had previously come to Green Cloud Peak to request assistance.
“Senior Brother Feng.”
Shen Wuque immediately took the initiative to greet Feng Yida, who was puzzled by Shen Wuque’s enthusiasm as it was more than usual.
However, Feng Yida didn’t have time to dwell on this and, after exchanging pleasantries with the three of them, he got straight to the point, explaining the reason for his visit..
