Deep in the rock forest, leaning against a huge rock, Yan Dongchen, Chrollo and Yue Hunshi were waiting here, with calm expressions on their faces, as if they were patiently waiting for a certain message to be delivered.
Not long after, a Star Soul envoy wearing the costume of Ghost Soul Palace walked through the rock passage in the distance and walked towards this side with determined steps.
After the star soul envoy arrived, he saluted the moon soul envoy and reported respectfully: "Sir, we still have not been able to discover their whereabouts."
The Moon Soul Envoy nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Continue to pay attention to those key positions, and don't take it lightly."
"Yes!" After accepting the order, the Star Soul Envoy quietly retreated, his figure jumping between the rocks like a ghost, and quickly disappeared from sight.
About an hour later, the majestic figure of Pantheon also appeared from another rock passage. He walked up to Yan Dongchen, saluted, and reported: "I didn't see anyone."
"Yes." Yan Dongchen nodded and instructed, "Continue to be vigilant. I don't believe they can disappear forever."
Pan Sen hesitated for a moment and asked: "Third Master, will they be killed by monsters in the dark forest? I heard that after we left, the monsters in that area became even crazier, and many of them were active there. There are reports of the death of all the warriors. They did not show up, maybe they have lost their vitality."
Yan Dongchen unusually did not refute this view. He nodded in agreement, "It is indeed possible, but if they escape the siege of the monsters and sneak into the merchant alliance when we are not prepared, we will only regret it. You understand me Do you mean it?"
"Understood! I'll go back immediately and keep a close eye on you!" Pan Sen looked determined and immediately turned around and left.
Yan Dongchen frowned and turned to the Moon Soul Envoy next to him, "Let's wait another month. If they still don't show up, it's likely that they've encountered misfortune. What do you think?"
"I have no objection." The Moon Soul Envoy agreed, thought for a moment, and added, "I just got the news that Medicine King Ye Xiao and Thunder Wing Silver Wolf are still fighting in the Chaos Black Forest. However, due to the large number of monsters in the Black Forest, , Ye Xiao seems to have started to evacuate. Now the monsters in the dark forest are chasing the Thunder Wing Silver Wolf, Medicine King Ye Xiao and his followers, so that area may be relatively safe."
Yan Dongchen frowned, took a step forward, and asked suspiciously: "You mean... they might still be alive?"
The Moon Soul Envoy nodded slightly and expressed his affirmation, "The possibility of their survival is very high. In that area, most of the warriors were brutally murdered, and the remaining people were frightened and had already escaped. As long as their luck is not too much. Oops, I should be able to escape the pursuit of Mi Meng Dark Forest."
Chrollo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, stared ahead with tears in his eyes, low and sad: "I pray that they are still alive, because I want them to live in regret and never be able to forgive themselves for coming to this world."
The Moon Soul Envoy's eyes flashed coldly, and he stated his thoughts calmly: "I want to take away the person named Mu."
Yan Dongchen turned his head and glanced at Chrollo's face, and expressed his position coldly but firmly: "That thin boy must be given to me first. He stole something precious from our Yan family. I want to take it back as soon as possible. , you can handle it as you wish after implementation.”
Chrollo was silent for a while, without making any response, as if he was deep in thought about some profound question.
…
In the path with rugged rocks and steep rocks, Chen Fan opened his eyes wide, taking every step carefully like an owl, alert to any movement in the environment.
Mu Ge and Yalan in front bit their lips and whispered to each other in a low voice. Although they were not far apart, the content of their conversation was like an incomprehensible mystery to him.
"Chen Fan." Mu Ge gave a faint smile, stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and his vigilance relaxed a little, "What are your orders?"
Mu Ge spoke, her voice floating in the air, "You are from the Merchant Alliance, right?" She seemed hesitant, but still asked without any cover.
Chen Fan nodded, doubts filling his eyes.
"So, are you practicing alone?"
He nodded again.
Mu Ge's beautiful eyes shone with determination and sincerity, and she said sonorously and forcefully: "You have given me a lot of help during such a long journey, and I will report back with a recommendation. He is a person who no one disrespects. , if you get his weighty attention, it will undoubtedly be a great help to your future cultivation path."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he rejected Mu Ge's "kindness" and replied coldly: "Miss Mu, I appreciate your kindness. But I am a person who does not like to be restrained."
He knew meaningfully through Mu Ge's warm eyes that she was planning to introduce him to a powerful force or family.
Some people can walk alone on the path of a warrior, but that requires extremely high levels of cultivation. With such level of cultivation, one can be selfless and have no desires. But for most warriors, they prefer to join a powerful family or force, because they have abundant training resources, a complete set of martial arts secrets and pure training materials, and even have the skills of strong people. Advanced guidance.
The only problem is that these really big forces and huge families often lock the door on people whose backgrounds are unknown. Joining them without a referral is almost impossible.
Mu Ge obviously knew herself and the enemy. She knew a powerful person from a big force and planned to make a recommendation for Chen Fan.
Seeing Chen Fan's refusal, Mu Ge was a little confused: "Practice alone is very difficult. Only by joining a big force can you quickly overcome bottlenecks and break through boundaries. At the same time, you can also have someone to rely on to practice in unknown areas, protected from the outside world. Threat, do you understand this?”
Yalan joined in the persuasion: "Besides, there are many disadvantages to practicing alone. Xiao Mu just wants to help you clear the way. He does not want you to do what she says immediately. You will decide after you meet the recommended person. It’s not too late to accept it.”
However, Chen Fan remained firm: "That's really not necessary. I still have things to deal with and I don't want to be bound by a certain family."
Mu Ge spread his hands, "Then it's up to you." She frowned, feeling that Chen Fan was a little ignorant, so she didn't say anything more.
A heavy sigh overflowed from Yalan's mouth, and her heart was filled with loss and turned pale. Originally, she was supposed to work hand in hand with Mu Ge, but Chen Fan coldly rejected Mu Ge's invitation, which was tantamount to declaring his separation from her. I am afraid that in the future, they will never be able to see each other as often as before.
Chen Fan, his image has been deeply imprinted in Yalan's heart during their long time together. At the thought of being separated from him, Yalan felt extremely bitter and even unbearable heartache.
"Chen Fan... I originally planned to go with Xiao Mu, but you..." Yalan hesitated for a moment and finally summoned the courage to speak. She raised her head, her eyes full of pleading, and looked at Chen Fan completely, "Do you want to go with us?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally spoke: "If...if you are willing, you can go with me."
"I..." Yalan paused, his eyes full of confusion and bitterness, and then said in a sullen voice: "Actually, Xiao Mu's power can not only provide him with protection, but also help me improve my realm. And Xiao Mu's power It was promised that I would be able to get the best training resources in the world, and I would also be able to own a high-end weapon, and I would even be able to practice spiritual-level martial arts, I..."
"Forget it!" Chen Fan interrupted her and said coldly: "Since you have your pursuit, I also have my goal. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with what you dream of, so... when we get to Youhe Town, let’s go our separate ways.”
Reason told Yalan that the powerful force behind Mu Ge would be of greater help to her, and the resources and conditions it provided were extremely attractive to her, and she really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
"Chen Fan..." Yalan felt sour in her heart and murmured: "I'm sorry."
"You don't have to say sorry." Chen Fan shook his head and said calmly: "You were in love with me beforehand, but we broke up afterward. Neither of us owes anything to the other."
"You!" Yalan's face changed slightly, and she looked at him with a bit of hatred. Her towering chest trembled slightly, but finally she sighed quietly and murmured: "Whatever you think, I have my plans. You are still old enough." Xiao, you won’t understand..."
The corners of Chen Fan's lips were slightly raised, his expression was completely cold, and there was a bit of disdain in his eyes. He just stood there quietly without making a sound.
"You're really ignorant." Mu Ge snorted contemptuously.
"Empty words are an eyesore." Chen Fan shook his head gently, looking indifferent. Without even glancing at her, he turned and walked directly to another side road. He turned his cold back to the two women and said in a low voice: "Here. Say less goodbye.”
"Chen Fan!" Yalan couldn't help shouting, her voice filled with shock, "Didn't we agree to say goodbye in Quiet Town?"
"Miss Mu, you are in the realm of the third level of Qi Condensation, and there are strong people guarding you in the rock forest, so you can practice with peace of mind. As for me, forget it, so as not to be a burden to you." Chen Fan's voice gradually faded. The figure gradually disappeared from sight.
"The arrogant guy is doing weird things. He will definitely suffer in the future." Mu Ge shook his head gently and said in a low voice: "In this world, you sometimes need to learn to compromise. Otherwise, especially for people like us who practice martial arts, It’s going to be difficult to survive.”
Yalan was thinking a lot, and she said in despair, "I'm really worried about him. Oh, what's wrong with us going together? Why would he reject me?"
"It doesn't matter, don't think about it so much. After all, we are all in the business alliance, and we may have a chance to meet again in the future." Mu Ge comforted, "Sister Lan, we are women, carrying the honor of the family, and we must avenge ourselves. We must rely on strong forces and strong people. Only in this way can we realize our wishes."
She paused, complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She thought of those days with Chen Fan, and their kiss in the cave...
However, she finally shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to expel Chen Fan's shadow from her mind, and whispered: "As for him... let's regard him as a beautiful memory in our lives."
This sentence seemed more like what he said to himself.
"He's not bad, he's about to break through to the realm of Qi Condensation, and he's still very young..." Yalan murmured in a low voice.
"But if he wants to enter the realms of spiritual movement and spiritual fantasy, it will take at least more than ten years, and to reach the realm of soul and heaven, I don't know how many years it will take. We can't afford to wait. Besides, he is only one person , In this world, being strong is of no use. To venture out, you have to talk about power..."
"Hey, don't think so much. I hope our choice is right."
"I firmly believe that I am not wrong!"
