ninety thousand miles

Chapter 593 Allies
"Just be careful." Lao Xiaokai gave this warning and did not continue. Instead, he asked, "What time is it now?"

The spiritual master said: "It is just past the Si hour."

"Oh, I still have to boil medicine for Brother Li, how about I go out first?" Lao asked with a smile.

"That's about it," the spiritual master lowered her hands, as if she was relieved. She said, "Go out and have a rest. Patriarch Xun has already arranged a lunch."

"Thank you very much for your help." Li Chuan stood up politely.

The spiritual master led them out of the tunnel.

Along the way, Li Chuan was looking for spells on the stone wall, and sure enough, he found quite a few of them. He tried his best to remember them all.

After walking out of the tunnel, Li Chuan felt that the light outside was exceptionally bright. While he was still adjusting, Yu Chen said to him, "Do you want to take a walk around here?"

Li Chuan understood that Yu Chen probably had something to say, so he said, "Okay, I've been sitting for a long time, and my waist and legs are a little sore, so I want to take a walk."

"Then I'll go and decoct the medicine." Lao Xiaokai was dedicated to his task of decocting medicine.

"Let's go and watch." Gong Er Pang San said, and they did not forget to monitor Lao Xiaokai.

Wen Gu Yingze said, "You guys go ahead. Brother Jiang and I will go back to the house to rest. See you later."

"Okay, see you later." Li Chuan said.

When Li Chuan and Yu Chen walked out of the gate, the two Xun clan guards who had been following them closely caught up with them. Yu Chen said to them, "We're just walking around here and not going anywhere else. You don't have to follow us."

The two guards looked at each other and then retreated back into the house.

Yu Chen led Li Chuan along the bluestone road. After passing through two alleys, they arrived at the city street. There were not many people on the street and many shops were closed.

Yu Chen stopped, looked at the passers-by for a while, and said: "This is the largest market in Cangwu Wilderness. Many transactions between half-demon tribes are completed here. No matter how the tribes fight, as long as they enter Songdu, they can get temporary peace. This is one of the few remaining consensuses among all half-demon tribes."

"Then who can live here?" Li Chuan asked.

"Anything is fine, as long as we can live here." Yu Chen did not continue to explain, but asked: "Is it that Chi Lin, what he did in Youxi Valley that caused Bai Ye to appear so frequently?"

"I think so, but the evidence is not sufficient." Li Chuan replied. He asked, "If we talk about this here, won't the dead hear us?"

"It's not that magical. And when the patriarch left, he gave me the sacred object of the Feather Clan." Yu Chen said.

"Oh." Li Chuan nodded.

Yu Chen asked: "After finding Chi Lin, what did you originally plan to do?"

Without waiting for Li Chuan to answer, he continued to ask: "Will you kill him?"

"If we can kill him, we definitely want to kill him." Li Chuan said honestly, "The situation over there is very complicated. We will just take it one step at a time."

Yu Chen said: "If he dies, will the White Night no longer come every year?"

"I don't know." Li Chuan said.

Yu Chen asked directly: "If the Yu Clan helps you defend Youxi Valley, can you kill him?" Li Chuan hesitated.

"Is there no support from Xuanmen?" Yu Chen examined Li Chuan's expression, "The old palace master and the thousand cultivators you just mentioned were all tricks to deceive us?"

"Not entirely. After the situation is confirmed, Xuanyue Sect's Master Chu will bring people to support us. There are indeed not a thousand cultivators, but there are still dozens." Li Chuan said frankly: "The unusual movements in the secret realm of Cangwu Wilderness, as well as the unusual movements of monsters and half-monsters last year, may all be caused by humans. This time we came to Cangwu Wilderness, in addition to looking for Chi Lin's whereabouts, we are also looking for that person."

"Who is it?" Yu Chen asked.

Li Chuan said: "Mo Ling, the saint of the demon clan 30,000 years ago."

"Is she in the Cangwu wilderness now?" Yu Chen asked.

"I don't know, maybe." Li Chuan said.

"What did you say just now?" Yu Chen was puzzled.

"She led us here." Li Chuan explained: "In addition to causing various anomalies in the Cangwu Wilderness, she also made many arrangements elsewhere. Chi Lin activated the branches of the sacred tree, and he slept in the tree. In the past 30,000 years, the roots of the tree may be spread all over the underground of the entire Cangwu Wilderness. The undead or something else underground may have been used by him. So relying on just a few of us, as well as Master Chu and dozens of disciples, is definitely not enough. We need the power of the half-demon tribe."

"It's not enough to defend Youxi Valley." Yu Chen concluded.

"Yes." Li Chuan said.

"Are you planning to do something when you disperse Bai Ye, so that the half-demon tribe will have to guard all the tributaries of the Sanqing River for you?" Yu Chen asked.

"I won't do that." Li Chuan denied it. He said, "If the White Night continues, it will interfere with our actions. I plan to explore Youxi Mountain after the White Night ends. But it's hard to say whether the demons will take action at that time, so asking the half-demons to guard those places is a safety measure."

Yu Chen nodded and said, "Dr. Li is indeed an open-minded person."

"It's okay." Li Chuan said.

"The Feather Tribe will cooperate with your actions," Yu Chen informed Li Chuan of his decision, "and when you go to Youxi Valley, I will go with you."

"Thank you." Li Chuan said.

"You're welcome. We..." Yu Chen shook his head and said, "My uncle, the spiritual master, and many people from other tribes can all feel the approach of disaster. But we don't know where the disaster comes from and how to face it. My uncle wants to hand over the Cangwu Wilderness to Xuanmen. After Xuanmen gets the benefits, it will naturally bear the disaster for us. I don't want this. I traveled in the human world for a long time and made some good friends. With their help, I explored the ancient beast's nest and learned spells. I made all kinds of efforts, but to no avail."

"Maybe it will come in handy later," said Li Chuan.

"I hope so." Yu Chen did not comment. He said, "I can't control what the spiritual master thinks or what other tribes think. The answer that the disaster may come from Chi Lin is very important to me. The moment the answer emerges, the fear of the unknown becomes a target that I can try to kill. I am no longer afraid."

"Let's go. I'll take you to have a good look at Songdu, the capital of the half-demons." Yu Chen walked forward again, and Li Chuan followed him.

Compared with ordinary cities, Songdu is not prosperous, and many places are even very simple, with many abandoned facilities. But walking in it, Li Chuan felt calm.

Yu Chen led Li Chuan back. When they saw the house from afar, he said, "Six hundred years ago, the half-demon Yan Zhi unified the half-demon tribe. His rule lasted for thirty years, and he built this capital. On the winter day of the thirty-first year, the secret realm appeared for the first time during the white night. Yan Zhi went crazy, and his tribe, the Moon Shadow Tribe, disappeared completely from then on."

"When I was exploring the ancient beast's cave, I found the words he left on the stone wall."
