Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing Hei Yao's somewhat warning words, a wave of displeasure rising within him. He was about to speak up and have Tiger Brother seize Hei Yao for a thorough questioning when he unexpectedly noticed Xun Feng rushing over like a dog catching a scent.
For a moment, Chen Moxuan felt that the metaphor was somewhat off. Just as he was preparing to have Hei Yao change form so as not to frighten his disciple, Hei Yao suddenly shifted, transforming into a cloud of black smoke. The smoke quickly coalesced into a figure clad in a black robe.
The figure's face was obscured by the shadow of its hood, revealing only a pair of eyes that sparkled with golden light, making it impossible to discern its true identity as a demon.
"Ancestor!" Chen Feng exclaimed in surprise as he approached. Upon seeing Hei Yao, he paused for a moment and added, "I hope I’m not interrupting your reunion."
Chen Moxuan glanced at Hei Yao and replied, "It's not really an old acquaintance; there’s nothing to interrupt."
Hei Yao had sensed hostility earlier but, noticing that Chen Moxuan had no intention of attacking, slowly spoke up. "Everything that needed to be said has been said. I shall take my leave now."
With that, Hei Yao turned to leave. Watching the figure depart, Chen Moxuan felt an inexplicable irritation swell within him. The appearance of Hei Yao was no coincidence; it seemed to carry some purpose. He had a feeling that something significant was about to unfold in the Mortal Empire.
However, since Hei Yao had already left, he couldn't be bothered to pursue it further. Turning to Chen Feng, who had interrupted his attempt to capture someone, he asked, "Why did you follow me?"
Chen Feng quickly replied, "I was worried Ancestor might get lost, so I came to accompany you!"
Chen Moxuan's cheek twitched slightly; his descendants were truly treating him like royalty. "Fine, if you wish to follow, then follow," he thought.
As he continued walking while contemplating the situation, perhaps due to having seen Hei Yao, his mood for shopping evaporated instantly. He turned towards home instead.
Chen Feng glanced in the direction where Hei Yao had vanished and asked, "Ancestor, who exactly is that figure in the black robe? Why do I feel something is off about him?"
Chen Moxuan chuckled softly and replied, "That figure is Hei Yao, the gatekeeper of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Its strength is considerable and its transformation skills are impressive. As for why it appeared here, I cannot say for certain. However, since it has already left, we need not dwell on it any longer."
"Ten Thousand Demons Mountain?" Chen Feng's eyes widened in shock. "Is that the same Ten Thousand Demons Mountain from legend that was suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor beneath Jiu You?"
Chen Moxuan blinked, genuinely unaware of the immense reputation of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Should it be that way? After all, he only knew of one Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Regardless, it was not a good place; everyone who had been there said it was terrible. The thought of the harsh environment of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain made Chen Moxuan resolute in his decision never to go back.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Feng had begun to question his life choices. Aside from the Southern Demon Kingdom, could the legendary Ten Thousand Demons Mountain truly exist? As they made their way back, Chen Feng started asking all sorts of questions. Eventually, after a prolonged period of hesitation from Chen Moxuan, he could no longer bear it and took flight.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. During this time, Chen Zhisheng's cultivation had made remarkable progress, successfully breaking through to Xiantian Tenfold, which brought great joy to the entire family. Chen Moxuan was in high spirits and decided to impart a secret technique of the Earth rank to Chen Zhisheng to help him advance further on his path.
However, just as the family atmosphere was filled with celebration, a formal notice arrived at their doorstep, shattering the joyous mood in an instant. The final notice from the camp clearly stated that if Chen Feng intended to head to Shangqing Sect, he must first return the seal in his possession; otherwise, he was required to return to the camp within the stipulated time.
This news struck Chen Feng like a bolt from the blue, filling him with an ominous premonition. He hurriedly sought out Chen Moxuan to inform him of this development. After hearing the news, Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before saying, "It’s strange that they would send a notice when there is still a month left. This clearly indicates that someone has reported your recent situation to the camp and is putting pressure on you. They want to force you out in order to weaken the Chen Family's strength."
Upon hearing this, anger surged within Chen Feng. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he declared, "Ancestor, I absolutely cannot leave like this! Someone intends to harm the Chen Family; I cannot stand idly by."
However, Chen Moxuan gently shook his head and offered some words of comfort. "Chen Feng, your father Chen Zhisheng has already reached Xiantian Tenfold; his strength surpasses yours. Here at the border, he is already among the top-tier experts."
"Therefore, even if we leave, the Chen Family won't have any issues. The generals over at the main camp might have just taken a little money and applied some pressure; there's no need to make a big fuss about it." Chen Moxuan paused for a moment before continuing.
"Moreover, if you leave, it can also serve to draw the snake out of its hole."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng instantly became interested.
Chen Moxuan continued, "Whether they intend to target the Chen Family or you, as long as we leave, their plans will be exposed. At that point, we can figure out how to deal with them."
After listening, Chen Feng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the anger within him. He then looked firmly at Chen Moxuan. "Ancestor, I understand!"
Chen Moxuan nodded in satisfaction. "Go pack your things. Qi Yi is already overdue; we need to resolve this issue quickly so you can feel at ease."
Chen Feng hurriedly began to tidy up his room. Clothes, medicines, dry rations, and even a few books on cultivation were all packed carefully. Meanwhile, he noticed that Ancestor had brought nothing and was still leisurely sitting on Tiger Brother's broad back, unencumbered.
He quickly packed another set of supplies.
"Wind, are you planning to move?" Chen Moxuan chuckled as he watched Chen Feng's busy figure.
Chen Feng paused his work and gave an awkward smile. "Ancestor, this isn't my first time going to the front lines. I heard the conditions there are tough; it's always good to prepare more."
"Besides, there's one set in here for you."
"Haha, you're still too young," Chen Moxuan laughed lightly. "Actually, all my things are in this Na Ring. Don't be fooled by its size; it's quite spacious inside and has everything you could need."
As he spoke, Chen Moxuan took out item after item from the Na Ring—everything from food to Wu Lan was there.
"This is incredible!" Chen Feng exclaimed, filled with admiration for the Na Ring.
"Alright, stop being envious. Once your cultivation improves further, I'll give you one too." Chen Moxuan smiled as he put the Na Ring back on and patted Tiger Brother's back. "We should set off now; we don't want to keep the people at the main camp waiting."
