You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"You should also hurry up and cultivate."

"These men in black could very well have infiltrated."

Then, as if remembering something, Chen Yang added, "Be careful."

"Sect Leader, don't worry, we will come up with a solution."

Li Zhengguo solemnly assured him.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and think it over carefully."

Chen Yang glanced at the sky and realized it was already quite late.

So he told everyone to leave.

"Yes, Master!"

"..."

Everyone agreed and then left one after another.

For a moment, only Wang Xuan, Qingqing, and Chen Yang remained.

"Master, now that you've returned, will you be leaving again anytime soon?"

Wang Xuan looked at Chen Yang and asked curiously.

"Well, we'll see how things go in the short term. If there are any problems with the Special Administration Bureau, I'll go check on things."

"If there are no problems, I will stay."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then sighed: "If the men in black come again, at least I'll be here to protect you."

"Could you give us some more of the spirit stones you just gave them?"

Qingqing stayed behind for the spirit stones.

"You can't accept rewards without merit. Why did you ask others for spirit stones when you came here?"

"What contribution have you made to us?"

Wang Xuan became unhappy when she repeatedly asked for it.

"I didn't ask you for it."

Qingqing glanced at him, then turned her gaze back to Chen Yang.

"If you want spirit stones, then cultivate diligently. If you need them for your cultivation, I will give them to you."

"Also, Wang Xuan is right. You should work hard to cultivate and accumulate more merits. I will give you enough spirit stones to use."

Chen Yang smiled and then continued, "I'll give you an inexhaustible supply of spirit stones when the time comes."

"You said it yourself, and there are witnesses here."

"Don't go back on your word later!"

Qingqing became interested immediately after hearing his words.

He pointed at Wang Xuan and said.

"A gentleman's word!"

Chen Yang was amused by her and shook his head: "You guys go ahead, I'll be here the whole time and won't leave easily!"

"Master, let me take you to the accommodation they arranged for you."

"They've already rearranged things here."

When Wang Xuan saw Chen Yang telling them to leave, he stepped forward and said something.

"Oh? Arrange accommodations?"

"Alright, let's go!"

As Chen Yang spoke, he got up and went downstairs.

"Master, please!"

Wang Xuan then offered to lead the way for him.

Seeing the two leave, Qingqing followed them out.

Wang Xuan led Chen Yang all the way to the top of the mountain.

Walk straight ahead in an open space that has been cleared out by someone.

Finally, we arrived at an attic.

"This used to be where they meditated, but it was later renovated."

"This is the place reserved for Master."

Wang Xuan stopped, took out the key and handed it to Chen Yang: "They always made me keep the key before, now Master finally has a chance to live here."

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Chen Yang looked at the retro-style building and took the key.

He opened the door and went inside.

"Click."

This was clearly not Wang Xuan's first visit.

After entering, I first found the light and turned it on.

In an instant, the previously dimly lit hall became bright.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xuan turned on several more switches, turning on all the lights, big and small, in the hall.

In an instant, Chen Yang saw the layout of the place clearly.

The layout of the hall is very simple, with just a coffee table and a sofa.

Several antique vases were placed on both sides.

There is also a staircase that winds its way up to the third floor.

The layout of the second and third floors is also similar.

They all have several rooms.

"Master, I'll be going now."

"take a good rest."

Wang Xuan showed Chen Yang around for a while, and then prepared to leave.

"Alright! Meditate properly."

After Chen Yang agreed, he watched Wang Xuan leave.

Then, he took out his phone, opened Ali's chat window, and started the video call.

"Chen Yang, how's the situation on your end?"

As soon as the video call connected, Ali's voice came through asking questions.

"I have already returned to the Qingwei Sect."

Chen Yang walked around the room with the camera in his hand, then asked, "How are you doing now? Have you gotten rid of those people?"

"I have arrived at the mountain god's temple."

When Ali heard his question, he smiled and said, "Da Tou and I have already had dinner with Gu Jinghui."

"Oh? We've arrived at the mountain god's temple?"

Hearing her say that, Chen Yang felt relieved: "You can come to Qingwei Sect whenever you have time."

"Yeah, I'm planning to go too."

"Gu Jinghui and Uncle Li are enough for the Mountain God Temple."

"Their strength is about the same."

"Even if those men in black come, they won't get the better of you."

Ali nodded, then continued, "Niu Si is safe too, you don't need to worry, we just contacted him."

"Oh? I was just about to ask him about it later."

Hearing her say that, Chen Yang felt relieved again.

It seems everyone is very vigilant.

They have made thorough preparations.

"Well, don't worry."

"We are already prepared."

Ali nodded and smiled: "I left a few of the weasels to keep watch around here."

"The rest of you came out with me."

"I gave the rest to Niu Si."

"They come and go without a trace, so they won't be targeted by the men in black. They are our informants."

"Well, that's good. Having these weasels will definitely save us a lot of trouble."

Chen Yang nodded, his eyes looking at Ali: "Come tomorrow, just come by private car."

"Don't do anything that requires identification, so they won't find out."

"That way, they'll arrive without anyone noticing."

"Well, that's what I planned too."

"Gu Jinghui has already found a friend to take me."

Ali nodded.

Behind her, a fat cat was playing and frolicking with several weasels.

Clearly, they were already very familiar with each other.

"That puts my mind at ease."

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ali, saying, "Right now, these people are in the shadows, so there's nothing we can do but be on guard."

"Once Jiang He and his team find the clues, it will be the end for them."

What did you encounter in Changbai Mountain?

Have you been to the Sky Road?

Ali suddenly thought of something and asked.

"I've been there. The Heavenly Road is actually a trap."

"The Wang family patriarch and the others have all been killed."

"Even if these men in black go, they can't do anything to the stone gate there." "There's no need to worry for now."

Chen Yang sighed, his expression turning grave: "This time, we barely won. We even managed to get their armor and their corpses."

"Let the Special Administration Bureau study this carefully; it will be useful to us in the future."

"That's good. We'll wait until the research is complete."

"Try to get some medicine and armor from the Special Administration Bureau."

"I witnessed it last time; they really can turn an ordinary person into a master."

Ali clapped his hands happily: "They were careless; they didn't know our trump card."

"I used the Soul-Binding Technique to deal with the people who were besieging me before I was able to get out."

"However, they probably already know this method, and they will definitely be wary of us in the future."

"Hmph, they can't defend against that."

"They only know that we have ways to deal with their ordinary people, but they don't know what methods I use."

Chen Yang snorted coldly, then said with a smile, "By the time they figured out a way, we would have already developed their potion."

"Gu Jinghui is here."

It was at this moment that Ali suddenly spoke.

"Oh? You're here so late."

Chen Yang agreed and then said, "Have him come over."

"coming!"

Ali smiled and glanced back.

Fat Cat had already gone over and opened the door for Gu Jinghui.

Chen Yang glanced back and saw Gu Jinghui and Song Jingxuan walk in together.

The two looked very sweet together, clearly indicating that they had already gotten together.

"You've finally shown up."

When Gu Jinghui arrived and saw Chen Yang in the video, he said irritably, "I've missed it several times."

"Yeah, that's because you're such a busy person."

Chen Yang chuckled and joked, then continued, "Ali has already told you about the current situation, right?"

"Yes, I already said, you have made progress on the men in black?"

Gu Jinghui agreed, his eyes filled with seriousness.

"Yes, we've figured it out, but we still don't have any leads."

"This requires an investigation by the Special Administration Bureau."

"I'll let you know if I get any news!"

Chen Yang nodded, glancing at Song Jingxuan beside him: "Not bad, you can cultivate now."

"It's all thanks to him and Uncle Li for giving me some blessings."

"Let me cultivate together with Sister Ali!"

Song Jingxuan also came over, a happy look on her face: "It's a pity that the spiritual energy is not enough now, it's too thin, otherwise I could cultivate even faster."

"Hmm, it's alright. Why don't you come with Ali?"

"I do have some spirit stones here that you can use."

Chen Yang didn't hold back, and said with a smile.

"That won't do. I'm absorbing the power of incense now, and my cultivation speed is no worse than using spiritual energy."

"However, the temple keeper needs to be taken care of. If she leaves, I won't be able to handle everything here."

Gu Jinghui refused outright.

"You're being too selfish. Are you really going to sacrifice her time?"

Upon hearing his words, Chen Yang retorted irritably, "Shouldn't we all strive to improve together?"

"I'll just give her the blessing of incense, won't that solve the problem?"

Gu Jinghui looked at Chen Yang with disdain: "Do you think I'm really stingy? I gave her half of the incense offerings here!"

"Oh? It seems I misunderstood you."

Chen Yang looked at Gu Jinghui and couldn't help but smile: "Then stay. But I have some cultivation techniques here. It would be a pity if you didn't come and practice them."

"Oh? You can go over there then, and come back when you've learned enough!"

Upon hearing his words, Gu Jinghui immediately changed his tune.

"Humph."

"You think you're so good at using an abacus!"

Chen Yang snorted and checked the time: "Alright, now that you're all safe, I'm relieved."

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Before Chen Yang could hang up the video call, Gu Jinghui called out to him.

"What? Is something wrong?"

Chen Yang stopped and looked at Gu Jinghui with curious eyes.

He just suddenly came out, and it felt like something was wrong.

"Yes, it feels like some kind of miracle is about to happen in the mountains around here."

"Things have been quite turbulent lately, so I think it would be best if you could come."

Gu Jinghui nodded before revealing the truth.

"Oh? Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Chen Yang glared at him: "Are you afraid I'll leak the news?!"

"No, I saw it when I came back from my patrol just now."

"I already had Uncle Li keep an eye on things. I just happened to hear you talking, so I came in to check!"

Gu Jinghui shook his head, his eyes fixed on Chen Yang: "So, do you have time to come and check on the situation?"

"The two of us probably can't handle it."

"Niu Si can't get away either, so we can only see how things go for you."

"Okay. In that case, I'll head over now!"

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Since it was just discovered, it means that no one else will have found it."

"We'll eat it all by ourselves, without anyone knowing."

"Should we tell the Special Administration Bureau?"

Gu Jinghui seemed to realize something, so he asked again.

"We'll see how things go then; for now, don't tell them."

“We’ve already received it, so we can give it to them, but only if they received it along with us.”

"Then how can we repay this favor?"

Chen Yang smiled and explained his thoughts.

"Oh? You're really cunning, you even had to scheme against them for this."

Gu Jinghui pointed at Chen Yang with a mischievous grin: "However, I think it's also an option."

"They will be able to develop these gene-based drugs and their armor very soon."

"Wouldn't it be better if we asked them for it or traded it after they started production?"

Chen Yang explained again, then looked at the sky: "It's getting late tonight, I'd better set off tomorrow morning."

"Let me greet them first, otherwise they won't be able to find me again tomorrow, and they'll be unsure of what to do."

"Alright, it's settled then."

After receiving his reply, Gu Jinghui felt relieved: "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

"See you tomorrow."

Song Jingxuan agreed, waved to Chen Yang, and then left with him.

"See you tomorrow!"

After Chen Yang agreed, he watched the two of them leave together.

For a moment, only he and Ali were left.

"Then I'll hang up too. See you tomorrow."

When Ali heard that Chen Yang was coming, she was no longer in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Chen Yang waved and then hung up the phone.

I looked around the empty living room.

Chen Yang looked up at the building again.

We were about to go upstairs to rest.

However, just as he was about to go up, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He immediately activated his keen eyesight.

I sensed movement on the hill behind the pavilion.

Chen Yang concealed his aura and then went to the back door.

After opening it, I left without anyone noticing.

At this moment, the sky was pitch black, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

Only the outline of the mountain peaks can be vaguely seen.

However, Chen Yang had sharp eyes; he could see that there were people moving around in the trees on the mountain.

One, two, just a quick glance and I could see more than ten people.

They are still moving, clearly heading this way. (End of Chapter)
