I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"What does this mean?" Xier asked with a frown, wondering if Yan Shiluo had something else to hide?

"Didn't you say that after I went in, the bunch of disgusting things that came out of that kid's body, that the restriction sealed them into Yan Shiluo's body."

"Abyss? But what's the purpose? Yan Shiluo didn't show any signs of being eroded by the abyss. Instead, he was severely eroded by the Honkai."

Xier carefully recalled Yan Shiluo's appearance. He looked obviously corroded by Honkai. If he was corroded by the Abyss, he would not be able to behave so rationally.

"Why would it be corroded if it was sealed into the body?"

Xiao Shi shook her finger to deny Xier's guess. She pointed at herself and then at Xier, and then said, "If we ignore the restrictions in his body and combine his performance, don't you think his situation is somewhat similar to ours?"

"!"

After hearing Xiao Shi's hint, Xier immediately understood what Xiao Shi meant.

"You mean? The Abyss is hiding with Yan Shiluo's body?"

"That's right. Just like I used your body to conceal my aura as a Herrscher and thus evade the detection of the old antique, the thing inside that guy's body also used him to hide."

"And I have to say that thing is really weird. It can perfectly imitate the aura of collapse and hide itself. If I hadn't found clues in his consciousness, I'm afraid I would have been fooled too."

"Is this so..."

Listening to Xiaoshi's words, Xier fell into deep thought.

She knew what the Abyss was hiding from. Needless to say, she knew that it was hiding from the seal of the gods, but could the Abyss be so intelligent?

Xier recalled the knowledge about the abyss that she had learned before.

The Abyss is a natural phenomenon that is extremely corrosive and causes those who are corroded to go crazy. The specific cause of the occurrence is unknown, and the location, time, and form are random.

Xier has learned about many cases about the abyss, but none of them proves that the abyss has high intelligence.

"In other words, either the Abyss has mutated, or the Abyss we see is actually a corrupted person?"

Xier murmured her guesses. After all, she was not a scientist and her understanding of the abyss was limited. Generally speaking, she only needed to know where it was and how to kill it.

——————————————————————————————————

It was when she recalled these things and combined them with what Zhongli Yan had said before about Xiangshu that she asked the question just now. She suspected that the abyss now was not just a simple abyss.

"What does Miss Xi'er want to know? If I knew, I would tell you everything."

After a moment's silence, Zhong Liyan gave Xier an answer.

"Then I won't be polite."

Xier nodded and said, "I want to know, how did you recognize that thing was Xiangshu?"

"How did I recognize it?"

Zhong Liyan was stunned for a moment, and after organizing his words, he said: "Actually, I don't know how I know this."

"All I know about Xiang Shu is through my father's stories. I have never actually met Xiang Shu myself."

"But there... when I first saw Xiangshu, I had a feeling in my heart that it was Xiangshu."

Chapter 75

"arrive."

After walking on the path for a long time, Xier led Zhongli Yan to the location of Fuyun Temple.

"Is this... the place where the Red Kite Immortal... is... Ha... Ha."

Zhong Li Yan was panting and leaning on her knees. For her who had not practiced martial arts, this mountain road was too difficult to walk on. Not only was it steep, but there were not even any steps on the road. It was completely a dirt road. In addition, the height of Mount Taixu made it so difficult that even though her physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, she was still panting heavily.

"Yes, this is Fuyun Temple on Mount Taixu, the residence of the Red Kite Immortal."

"Master~~~Sister~~~~you have such a cruel heart!!"

Shortly after Xier and the other arrived, Lin Chaoyu's voice came faintly from behind them.

As her footsteps got closer, Lin Chaoyu, who was lagging behind the two of them, finally caught up.

"So slow, Zhao Yu, it seems you need to strengthen your physical training."

Xier said with a frown.

"Who do you think did this?!"

Lin Chaoyu was seen holding the two sisters Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanru in each hand, and carrying Cheng Lingshuang in a small bamboo basket on his back, with luggage on his shoulders, looking like a coolie.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh"

Xier turned her head and whistled, as if it had nothing to do with me.

"Hey……"

Seeing Xier's look, Lin Chaoyu knew that the other party did it on purpose.

"Sister Xier? And Sister Zhaoyu? You guys are back?"

Su Mei's voice was heard, and she was seen walking towards Fuyun Temple holding a bamboo basket full of vegetables.

"Amei! Senior sister, I am so miserable! Oh oh oh."

Lin Chaoyu quickly put down all his burdens and rushed towards Su Mei like a fly.

"what?"

Su Mei was caught off guard and Lin Chaoyu pounced on her, but she just swayed and did not fall to the ground.

(Oh? Her Kung Fu is improving very quickly. She really has a great talent.)

Xier couldn't help but nodded as she looked at Su Mei's stable lower body. When she had just left Taixu Mountain, Su Mei's realm was very high, but her foundation was very poor. After all, she was just a rich lady before and had never experienced any training.

But now it seems that her basic skills are almost catching up with those who have practiced more.

"Senior Sister Zhaoyu, please stop rubbing your snot on me!"

Su Mei held the bamboo basket with one hand and pressed Lin Chaoyu's head with the other hand, trying to push her away from her, but the doting expression on her face revealed that she was actually enjoying it.

"Yeah, it looks like the two of them have a pretty good relationship."

Xier watched the interaction between her two junior sisters with a smile, her heart filled with smiles.

"By the way, A Mei, this is Zhong Li Yan, please help me make the arrangements, I have something to report to Master."

Pulling Zhong Li Yan over, Xier introduced him to Su Mei.

"Okay, senior sister."

After finally pushing Lin Chaoyu away, Su Mei straightened her clothes, then bowed to Zhong Liyan and said, "Miss, please come with me."

"Ms. Zhongli, this is my junior sister, Su Mei. Go find a place with her to rest first. I will come find you later."

"Ok."

Zhong Li Yan nodded. She knew that Xier must have told the Chiyuan Immortal about the previous Holy Fire Conference. She didn’t want to bother him any further, so she followed Su Mei.

"Chao Yu, carry Wan Ru, Wan Xi and Ling Shuang to our residence. They must be tired after the journey, so let them rest first."

After Su Mei led Zhong Liyan away, Xier said to Lin Chaoyu, who was lying on the ground, "Also, if you keep looking half dead, I will really train you more."

"Yes! Senior sister! Okay senior sister! No problem senior sister!"

Upon hearing Xier say this, Lin Chaoyu immediately jumped up, picked up the three people who were standing there in a daze and their luggage, and ran straight to the back of Fuyun Temple.

"This guy……"

Xier looked at Lin Chaoyu who ran away with a smile and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She obviously just wanted to make her less boring, but how did she turn into this lively treasure now?

After laughing, Xier sorted out her emotions, took a deep breath, and walked towards Fu Hua's room.

"squeak"

When I pushed open the door, I saw Fu Hua sitting in the middle of the room with her eyes closed in meditation. The next moment Xier walked in, Fu Hua opened her eyes.

"came back?"

"Well, Master, I'm back."

"How about training?"

Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then asked.

Although Fu Hua's tone was very cold, Xi'er knew that she actually cared about this matter, so she smiled and said to Fu Hua: "Although there were some bumps along the way, Zhao Yu also solved them perfectly. In my opinion, Zhao Yu can go down the mountain alone to eliminate the demons."

"Really? That's good." Fu Hua nodded slightly.

"By the way, Master, I have something I want to ask you."

"Is it about that evil aura?"

Before Xier could speak, Fu Hua spoke first.

"Sure enough, Master, you also felt it." Xier's expression became solemn. Sure enough, not only the people on the scene felt the breath of the abyss.

"It's not just me. Almost everyone in the world has felt that evil aura, which is far more crazy and...pure than Honkai."

"This is exactly what I want to ask Master. May I ask if Master has ever seen that aura?"

Xi'er asked, but Fu Hua's answer surprised her. Fu Hua said:

“I have never seen that aura.”

"??"

Xier was stunned when she heard Fu Hua's answer. She didn't expect that even Fu Hua had never seen the breath of the abyss, which meant that the abyss did not appear long ago.

However, this conflicts with what Zhong Li Yan said. According to her, Xiang Shu first appeared several hundred years ago. Logically speaking, Fu Hua could not have been unaware of this.

(Strange, what's wrong?)

Xier instinctively realized that there was a clear difference between the two parties' statements regarding the appearance of the abyss. Fu Hua could not have lied to her, and Zhong Li Yan had no reason to lie, so what went wrong?

"what happened?"

Fu Hua, who had no idea what Xier was thinking, couldn't help but ask when she saw Xier looking troubled.

"No problem, but..."

Xier organized her words a little and then briefly told Fu Hua about the trip.

----------------------

"Did this happen?"

Fu Hua was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lin Chaoyu's travel trip would be so full of twists and turns, and even encounter such a strange thing.

"In other words, there are loopholes in what Zhong Liyan said?"

"I can't really say that, but I just feel like something is not right."

Xier scratched her head, but she couldn't infer more based on this information alone.

"Well...it's really troublesome."

Fu Hua pondered for a moment but to no avail. She was not good at this kind of mental work.

"Let's call Zhong Liyan over later. If we confirm it in person, she should be able to find out something. Besides, doesn't she want to see me for something?"

"Yes, I think so too."

Chapter 76 Taiwu

"Oh, right, Master..."

Xi'er looked into Fu Hua's eyes and said, "Disciple discovered three people with excellent qualifications at the Holy Fire Conference."

"Oh?"

Fu Hua looked at Xier in surprise. Although she brought Su Mei back, she had never told Xier about her intention to take her as a disciple. How did she guess that?

However, thinking has never been Fu Hua's strong point. Although Xi'er took people to Taixu Mountain without her permission, Fu Hua did not blame her. After so many years of getting along, Xi'er is no longer just Fu Hua's disciple. As the only person who has had long-term contact with her friend after his death, Xi'er has a very special place in Fu Hua's heart.

What's more, Xi'er also helped her restart the Cangxuan Book. This friendship was enough for Fu Hua to regard Xi'er as a friend or even a family member. Therefore, Fu Hua did not intend to say anything about Xi'er's behavior. She believed that Xi'er would know her limits.

"Yeah, I'll go check it out."

Fu Hua nodded and said.

Seeing Fu Hua nodded, Xier finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that what she did this time was a bit of overstepping one's authority, but it was a waste to let three extremely talented people scatter among the people. Moreover, the appearance of the abyss aroused Xier's sense of crisis.
