Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Never mind..."

"The path to immortality is fraught with peril, but the opportunity is right before us. How can we, the two of us, keep you here?"

"Why not stay a few more days before leaving, so we can have something to remember you by?"

"After all, this parting may be the last time I ever return to the mountain gate."

Huang Tianhua's words did move Su Chen somewhat.

Su Chen had no reason to refuse.

It's not for any other reason than that the Tai Xuan Sect has another great secret buried beneath the Sword Abyss.

Su Chen and Lin Wanwan both knew that this Master Hongfu had an extraordinary and heaven-defying opportunity.

Before leaving, I must at least go and see this senior.

"Alright."

"Then I will trouble you two elders for a few days."

Su Chen nodded, though he looked somewhat troubled.

It has to be said that Su Chen's performance in this episode was incredibly convincing.

Otherwise, how could he stay and do his job without being noticed by those two old guys?

Su Chen didn't want anyone other than himself and Lin Wanwan to know that secret.

Moreover, it's best to settle the matter of Master Hongfu as soon as possible.

It would be best to resolve the opportunity to become Master Hongfu within a hundred years.

To prevent anyone from accidentally wandering into that place and discovering that secret in the future.

...

The night wind rustled through the bamboo grove behind the Tai Xuan Sect.

Huang Tianhua and Lei Sha would be eager to curry favor with someone as powerful as Wang Zhanhai.

If we were to actually get to know such a powerful being, it would be an immeasurable honor for both sects.

Perhaps in the future, the two sects will not receive the protection of Su Chen and that Void Refinement expert.

However, with the help of people like Wang Zhanhai, it was enough to keep the two sects from the intervention of the forces from the Xuanhuang Continent.

Su Chen and his three Daoist partners naturally stayed in the pavilion in Lin Wanwan's bamboo forest.

Su Chen pushed open the door to the attic, which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time.

"Since you left, Jiang Yun came, and I haven't lived here alone again."

"After all, who knows if Jiang Yun will harass me when no one's around!"

Lin Wanwan seemed to notice Su Chen's confusion and said something indifferently.

"Tianqi."

"I'm leaving Yu Yan in your care."

"I need to go out with your sister Wanwan..."

Su Chen smiled and said something to Li Tianqi.

"Okay, okay."

"I won't ask where you and Sister Wanwan are going."

"Anyway, everyone here is your Daoist partner, so even if you do something, it won't be considered cheating."

"Hmph, but..."

"Since we're all family now, why be so coy!"

"Yu Yan and I are upstairs, and you two are downstairs, so it won't make any difference."

"How about we go together?"

Li Tianqi swung her jade-like feet back and forth on the soft couch, and said something with a hint of teasing.

Su Chen's face darkened at that moment.

This girl's idea is dangerous...

"Tianqi, if we really team up, the three of us are going to drain this taciturn guy dry..."

"Perhaps a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator will perish on this soft couch."

Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and smiled.

These two, who would crack dirty jokes in a back-and-forth, actually got along remarkably well.

From this perspective, Wang Yuyan is much more composed.

Su Chen was just thinking this...

"But if there are three of us, then my husband will have to cultivate another clone technique."

Wang Yuyan surprisingly chimed in at that moment.

Got it!

I was overthinking it!

However, the reason why Lin Wanwan took the lead in making this joke was naturally to divert attention.

After all, she knew that Su Chen was going to the Sword Abyss with her.

Su Chen's reluctance to reveal the secret of the Sword Abyss was naturally due to his intention not to let anyone other than himself and Su Chen know.

This is understandable. Since Su Chen left, Sister Yu Yan has also improved her cultivation level, but she hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet.

That girl's cultivation level was even lower than Sister Yu Yan's by one small realm.

This matter is inherently complex and complicated; the more you know, the more confusing it becomes.

It might even drag these two people into it.

...

The Sword Abyss of the Tai Xuan Sect is located at the deepest part of the sect.

It was a bottomless cliff, with a long bridge made of green jade spanning its mouth.

It was hard to see clearly at night, but the bridge surface felt cool.

Lin Wanwan followed behind Su Chen, when suddenly she remembered something.

"A silent, unassuming person."

"You promised to bring food for Senior Hongfu last time."

"Don't forget again."

Su Chen paused in his steps.

broken.

Su Chen then remembered that he hadn't paid any attention to this matter when he left Qingzhou in a hurry last time.

Lin Wanwan could tell from his expression that he had forgotten again, which made her both annoyed and amused.

"Never mind, I already prepared it."

Lin Wanwan patted her storage bag and looked at Su Chen triumphantly.

Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Let's go."

Without further thought, Su Chen dispelled the spiritual light beneath his feet and plummeted towards the bottom of the cliff.

Lin Wanwan followed suit and jumped down.

Two beams of light, one in front and one behind, disappeared into the inky darkness.

The further down you go, the denser the spirit swords are stuck in the cliff face.

Ancient swords were stuck diagonally into the stone wall, and the surrounding mist grew thicker and thicker.

It's unknown how long they descended.

A glimmer of light finally appeared in the darkness ahead.

The crimson barrier surrounded a cave dwelling on a cliff face.

"senior."

Su Chen and Lin Wanwan stood in front of the barrier and cupped their hands in greeting.

"This junior, Su Chen, has come to pay my respects."

This time, Su Chen was exceptionally polite.

This surprised Lin Wanwan. Logically speaking, this taciturn man should have played a trick on Hong Fu Shangren.

After all, he had often manipulated this Master Hongfu, so why was he being so polite today?

Immediately afterwards, a small figure slowly emerged from the cave.

The Red-Robed Immortal still looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl.

But Su Chen knew that beneath this harmless exterior lay an old monster who had lived for countless years.

Moreover, he is someone powerful enough to deter even the most powerful beings in the Xuanhuang Continent, including the Void Refining Old Monster.

"Oh."

"Hey kid."

"Don't tell me you came empty-handed again this time!"

At this moment, Master Hongfu stood with her hands on her hips, looking Su Chen up and down.

"this...."

"How could that be?"

Su Chen's lips twitched.

Fortunately, the talkative saintess didn't forget about this, otherwise it would have been really hard to explain.

I don't want to offend this Master Hongfu right now.

After all, the token has been sent out, and perhaps one day this Master Hongfu will be able to escape from this place.

Of course, I had to latch onto such a powerful figure beforehand.

Even if we can't gain any opportunities by following Old Demon Red, we can't rashly offend him at this time.

"How could I have forgotten, senior!"

Lin Wanwan stepped forward with a smile and flipped her wrist.

Several beams of light descended from the storage bag.

The osmanthus cakes wrapped in oiled paper, along with various other spiritual foods, were piled on the stone platform in front of the barrier.

The osmanthus cake was still covered with fine powdered sugar, making it look very appetizing.

"Hmph."

"At least you two know what's good for you."

At this moment, Master Hongfu stretched out her tender little hand, picked up a piece of cake, and put it in her mouth.

"Unlike some heartless brat."

"Not bad, not bad!"

With her cheeks puffed out, Master Hongfu added another sentence in a muffled voice.

...
